Hello lovely people.
In this short story we get a glimpse inside Valery's last moments and what Hiei stole from her.
That voice, she knew the voice swimming in her mind, chanting in her brain words like a constant chilling mantra.
"You will forget me breaking you apart."
What had he done?
Her body was cold feeling close to the point of freezing and her lids felt so heavy as her brain was being rearranged, torn apart and put back together in a ruthless painful torment.
"You will forget Kurama's advances and the words spoken to you."
Emerald eyes flashed through her mind, his lips moving but she couldn't understand the words.
As a new part of her brain felt like it imploded fear rushed in her core, burning through her senses as her lids slowly opened, straining to focus a certain imagine in front of her eyes.
"Hurry, she's waking up."
"I'm working as fast as I can."
It was as if time stopped when their eyes met, realization sinking all at once, hurting, destroying and shattering completely all hope that was still there. In front of her eyes, with his Jagan glowing bright stood her husband, her better half, the man she vowed to love until the end of time just ripping apart her memories, altering her beliefs and vision.
"No!" her voice came out strained as her eyes travelled to the king of Spirit World, his giant hands straining to keep her energy at bay "No!"
"You will forget waking up and seeing this."
"No!"
She couldn't get out more as a new portion of her memories started to shatter to pieces. She knew exactly what was happening, she was being forced into a decision that was not her own, did not want, did not approve of.
"I will not regress, you can't do this to me you bastard."
She couldn't care less about king Enma as her eyes turned hallow, dark powers being summoned from all sane corners she still had and were not tampered with. He betrayed her.
"Hiei, I can't contain her any more, it's now or never."
His eyes never left her face, not one second did he look away, burning the memory of that moment in his brain. He didn't blink as she struggled, he didn't move.
"Valery" the name left a bitter taste on his tongue and it was then he decided it would be the last time he would ever use it "Forget"
"I'll destroy you."
Until the last breath she took in that world and all was left was just the memory of her, he didn't look away.
"It's better this way."
He didn't look at Enma or else the next thing he would have done was put a sword through him. He knew why he wanted her gone for good, he knew every damn reason why Koenma learned about regression in the first place. Enma wanted her gone the second her power came to light and he had just succeed. The only thought that made Hiei still hold his ground was that she would live and would do so how she wanted to, away from Demons.
