You've shown me what love is but… are you willing to give it to me forever? "Father" I wanted to say, "Mother" has always been at the tip of my tongue but what I do say, what finally does come out… is a roar. A roar of loneliness… a roar of hate… a roar full of pain and sadness. Why?
~Dreaming~
This hurts SO much! Why does this happen? What has been done for me to deserve this? What did I do wrong? "Everything!" they say… "You tried to kill us, we'll try, no will, kill you!" they threat… all of these things would be thrown at me: stones, sticks, knives, food… and I would be stained by them either from the food or my own blood… "Please! What did I do? I'm sorry!.. .I didn't mean to!... please, someone… can't anyone save me? Help me, please!... I sob.
~consciousness ~
I'm awake, and I'm bound… "What happened? Where am I?" I grumbled , trying to move and realized I was bound by a powerful chain with a powerful spell where every time I moved and it touch my skin, it burned and I would hear screaming in my head… a huge monster of a headache.
"Urgh!" I groaned as I looked around from my spot on the bed. It was a simple wooden room with two doors and a window behind me…and incense! Incense EVERYWHERE! The smells… the look… for some reason this room oddly reminded me of the room of the preacher or father in the village where they would pray and cleanse. "How the fuck did I end up here? This IS still in my mind, right?" I thought as I sneezed at the awful stench of the incense.
"God bless you!" A warm gentle voice calls. I turned to glare at the man responsible for this. A man with short brown hair wearing a blue and gold robe stands at the door and the person standing behind him… "*Temae!" I shouted and rattled my chains, demons roaring to break through. "*Temae itoname kira!" I thrashed and squirmed and howled in pain from the chains and the incense. The priest came up to me and began pelting me with salt, which burned!
"Demons be gone! Return to that from which you came!" he shouted and my demons reluctantly crawled to the back of their cages. I was panting and aching from the fight and the pain of the salt and chains. Most likely he found a way to cheat and live. No human could ever survive the *Kuroi Denkou AND the *Aka Honoo without suffering from severe burns or some sort if internal injury. But then again, this was man was not human… only a *seirei.
"Thank you Father, you may let us be!" the wind village leader said.
"Are you sure, Katsushika-sama? Is it safe?"
"I need to let him know I can trust him" the man said and without another word the priest bowed and left the room.
I glared at him with angry red yellow eyes. "What is this? Some sort of punishment? Trying to kill me like this? Che! Good luck!" I sneered. The village leader just looked at me with calm, blue eyes. I felt a nerve twitch. "Oh! I get it! Trying to act tough, huh? Think you're too good and too tough that you can hold me back without even trying? Try to pin me and see what'll happen!" I challenged, shaking with the anticipation of a fight. Again, the *Kazekage just stared. I began to growl.
"WHAT? What are you staring at? Why must you keep looking at me with those eyes!" I screamed and slowly felt myself breaking down inside. "Always… they always stare… they stare and whisper… the most awful things… any human can say…" I felt something wet sliding down my cheeks and my vision blurred. Tears… Draco murmured. Tears of a demon! Kiyu hissed. They sting! I spoke softly to them as a tear fell on my lips. And they taste awful! Kiyu chuckled as Draco wrapped his wings around my mental being. I curled into the scaly limbs, a habit I developed when I was alone and afraid and needed comfort and an escape from reality…
Kit, the human is still here! Should we kill him? CAN we kill him? The kitsune akuma begged. Let him be Kiyu. Let the human live and speak… I think it's about time Komadori should know his real family, don't you agree? The doragon akuma said and gently released me. The fox demon snorts, fine! But if he causes you any trouble… Kiyu gnashed his teeth and looked at me. I nodded, catching his meaning. I felt something soft and warm on my cheeks, gently wiping away the tears. I looked up to see warm, sky blue eyes similar to my own look down at me, glistening with tears. "Komadori… I am so sorry to have left you like that! Believe me, I didn't want to! If there was some other way to save the Wind Village from Draco and Kiyu without the use of human sacrifice I would have done so!" he sobbed. I tried my hardest to ignore him and not believe a single word he said but instead tears came to my eyes and my chest began to hurt.
Why do I feel this way? Am I dying? I asked. I don't know, fledgling. Draco answered. SEE? What did I TELL you, Kit? He's trying to kill us!
"What are you doing to me? Why does my chest hurt so badly? I feel like I'm Dying!" I shouted my frustration at my creator, hot tears flowing down my face.
"What you are feeling is empathy, guilt, and pity for me. You're very sensitive to other people's feelings emotions and pass them off as you own. That's how demon vessels usually are," he explained softly.
"Then how come I never felt… empathy and guilt before if I'm a mirror of other's emotions?" I asked curious. Katsushika gave a sad sigh and walked over to where I lay.
"Because demons don't understand caring and feeling for others. All they know is sadness, pain, anger, and fear. They don't see the light of things." he tended to the chains. "Only darkness." The demon tamer released the spell and destroyed the locks.
At that instant my demons roared in anger and delight as they started rattling their cages and destroying the seals. I felt doragon's wings and scales forming, the sharpness of kitsune's claws and fangs enlarging my teeth and nails. I was transforming into my true form.
"LET'S FINISH THIS HUMAN NOW! I WANT TO BLEED HIM, TO RIP HIM. I WANT TO DESTROY HIM!" I yelled though the voice was not mine but my demons as we started to wreak havoc, destroying the bed, the desk, anything that got in our way, my sight misting red. The Kazekage dodged and jumped as my tails and wings reached out and lashed wide, gaping holes and marks on the floor and walls. A few times he would mutter certain spells and attempted to use the Soul Fire on me, but with no avail. I was invincible; nothing could have stopped me this time or now.
"Komadori!" he shouted to get my attention but I could not hear him underneath all the roaring and howling going on in my mind and heart. My demons started taking control of my body as my mental self cowered in the corner of one of the now demolished cages. What's happening? Kitsune-sama, Doragon-sama! Where are you? Please help me! I cried and begged, hugging my knees to my chest. For the first time in my life, my demons, my friends who knew my pain and protected me all these years, did not come to me when I needed them. Instead they hurt me! They betrayed me! And I felt truly alone… "Komadori!" a distant voice shouted my name. I perk my head up, recognizing the soothing, lulling, gentle voice I would hear in my dreams and thoughts when I was scared. "Komadori!" it yelled again, louder this time.
Yes… this voice I hear was my true friend. Always there for me when no one, not even my demons, were there to help me or fully understand me… the voice… of the Wind Village's savior… the Kazekage… my father…
"KOMADORI!" he shouted and I responded, yelling at the top of my lungs in defiance. My demons flinched when they heard me yell, their powers waning. Yelling felt good and with each outburst I grew stronger and felt more in charge of myself. I was able to control and contain my demons as they cowered in fear of my new found power and my body soon began to change into its original state, a rip in the back of my shirt from the wings, my nails and teeth returning to their blunt form until finally I was human once again and I collapsed. I felt warm, strong hands wrap around me, supporting me and kept me from falling. I opened my eyes to see the village leader beaming down at me, tears in his eyes. And for some reason, I smiled and cried too.
He stroked my hair and smiled at me warmly. I tensed and tried to move away but the warmth and gentleness I was receiving felt nice and I slowly started to relax into my creator's touch. "I'm glad you can let me hold you this way my son and I'm very, VERY sorry for what has happened! I just wish there was some way I could take it all back," he said sorrowfully. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, looking him in the eyes. "Stay with me!" I pleaded. "We can start life over again as a family! We… we could be reincarnated or someone could transfer our souls into another body! Just… anything! Something so we could be together, father…" I cried and once I started I couldn't stop. I didn't want to cry, but I did…and in a way it felt good. But what felt even better…was that I said 'Father', something I been wanting to say for years! He smiled and leaned in to kiss me on the forehead.
"I would like that, my little bird, but we can't… at least I can't… I've been away from my body for seventeen years. My life ended just as yours began! You were going to die when you were born and I gave my soul to *Kami so you could live. For me to come back, you would have to die, and I won't and cannot let that happen!" he pronounced and looked at me with protection? Love? In his eyes and I soon started to cry again. A feeling… a look I've been wanting for so long… and I finally got it! But if what the demon tamer said was true, this would be the first and last time I would ever be able to see my father and ever be able to experience this content, loving moment with someone of my own flesh and blood again… I sobbed. "It's not fair! I want you with me! I want a dad!" I complained, sounding like a whiny brat but I didn't care. The village leader hugged me tight and I cried into his robe.
"I know my child, but things happen that we cannot control… if it wasn't for the fact that you were dying and the demons were loose, I would have been able to raise and love you like how I wanted and dreamed since I found out your mother was expecting a child!" he explained and started to cry… Actually cry! I was shocked! Never had I met or seen a grown human cry like a child before, unless they were crying and grieving for their loved ones who would die by my hands. Here this man was crying from the bottom of his heart for the love and loss of the family he dreamed of having. Humans are such sad, pathetic creatures. They don't DESERVE this life. Now's your chance Komadori! Let's Kill Him! The fox demon roared and lent me his strength and power. My claws began to dig into Katsushika's back and the smell of fresh blood hit my nose. The man flinched and fear began to emit from his body. My claws dug in more of the delicious meat as my fangs grew, ready to bite down and rip out the heart of this pathetic creature. Until…
Komadori my son… is this REALLY the only way to do this? A female voice spoke. He is your father… this man has always DREAMED of holding you in his arms and being able to play with you and share in your joys and dreams… does this ONE chance he ever has to be with his child be the cause of his death and destruction? Do you REALLY hate this man THAT much? No I don't… no I DO!... what have I done? Why am I doing this? He's my dad! And I'm his son… a son… a dad… I have a dad… and my dad… killed me!... NO! He loves me… and he saved me! My dad's a hero!...and I'm the son to a hero, the champion of the village! This man… HATES ME!... LOVES ME! And with this last statement and roar of defiance, the raw power from the demons faded away. Both Doragon and Kitsune howled in their cages and soon began to melt away from the power of the seals until they were nothing but small animals. They have disappeared and are gone for good! I gasped and collapsed for the second time into the arms of my father. The battle was over, they were gone and I suddenly felt lighter, like a weight, a heavy burden was FINALLY lifted off my shoulders.
"Komadori…" he murmured and he gently lifted me up. "You did it my son… you conquered your demons and are now in control of your life!" he said with pride as his voice began to fade slightly away. "You are no longer the Demon of the Wind Village, their bane… but instead… you are their legend, the Savior of the Wind Village! Whatever path you choose now is what you made… not chosen or decided by anybody else but by you yourself! I am proud of you, my little bird, and you would make a wonderful *Kage…" I was soon enveloped in something warm and light as the words of my father started to become nothing more but a whisper… a whisper I would hear and remember forever to this day and the end of my life… as a human.
"No matter where you go in life or what you do, I will always be here for you… in your heart… because you have a heart Komadori! Take care my child… and know that… I'll always… love you!...
