7 Spirits of the Sky
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING…
~Last Time~
Merak Found A Fairy Named Hikari and now two young Spirits are on his care, Hikari and Merak had a little chat and soon calls him Onii-chan, but Merak Never denied what the young fairy said…Merak never felt so light before he always felt heavy with a burden to protect Mankind from destruction, but when Hikari came to his Life he felt lighter and he was able to smile again. Like the day when his Older Brother was still alive and there for him…this time He will be there for his both younger friends, Amore and Hikari…he will take care of them and protect them so they won't suffer the same pain he felt in his heart, the pain that still lingers at the deepest recess of his wounded heart…

This is Mizuki 'Yami' Hotori's Past
Chapter 3: The Hybrid Spirit
Mizuki'Yami'Hotori live in place that hate and fear her and her power…the place where she lived were unknown people in that place hated and feared her so since then she lived on her own, where ever she goes people hide away from her, Mizuki has to fend for herself in order to survive she sometimes steal food…sometimes people in the place she live torturing her… one night after being tortured again Mizuki Laid in her Grassy bed…
"All I want is to live in peace, not to be hurt like this…" she whimpered in pain… "Maybe in my dream I can see people with kindness…"
In Mt. Olympus, Merak felt a twinge of pain…While reading some spell Book…he jumped from a sudden sting… He opened the Door of Dreams and entered…he was in a huge hall of dreams, pushing the blocking bubbles and searched for that dream…Later he found another Pink bubble…he looked at it and saw a Hybrid Spirit and the source of that pain he felt awhile ago… Merak took the bubble to the room where Amore's and Hikari's Dream Bubble was stored…
"This spirit…is crying…I wonder…" Merak asked himself…
The next day, Mizuki was running for her life again with bunch of angry mobs on her tail…
"GET BACK HERE YOU BEAST!..."
"YOU WILL PAY FOR STEALING MY FOOD!"
"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY CHILDREN!"
Mizuki ran as fast as she could and hid in the forest…while running she fell on the ground many times and got wounded…she cried in pain…some wounds are deep and jagged…meanwhile in Vongola HQ Merak Hissed in pain…
"Are you okay?..." Alaude asked curiously…
"Yeah, I am, I'm fine, don't worry…" Merak said…
He looked at the window…
'Could it be?...' merak thought…
Merak walked out of the room… Giotto is getting worried about his Guardian spirit's well-being…
"onii-chan's Doing that a lot this days and I'm getting worried, because he won't tell me what's wrong though…" Hikari said…
"Has he been doing strange lately?..." Alaude asked…
"Now that you said it, he always goes in the dream realm for I don't know what is he doing in there though and it's scarring me…" Amore said…
Giotto was silent all the time… he's going to ask Merak tomorrow what's been happening to him… that night Merak opened a portal and went to the place where that Hybrid Lives…when he arrived he was in a dark forest where no light shines…he wandered everywhere…there he heard the angry cries of the village people…
"GET BACK HERE YOU BEAST!"
"YOU'RE DEAD WHEN I LAY MY HANDS ON YOU!"
"YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING THAT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!"
Merak hid in the shadows and watch the village people chase a poor wounded spirit…He followed the young spirit into the deepest part of the forest where no people dare to go…while following the young spirit Merak saw her tumbled on the ground and got wounded…Merak felt the same pain, He saw the Hybrid cried while lying on the ground he wished he could go and help her, but he can't…he can't yet show up to scare the hybrid away… it's painful seeing a poor spirit like her being chased by a bunch of angry mobs…Because he himself experienced the same thing the way that this Hybrid experiencing now… so he turned his back and left… but before he leave he said something…
"Don't worry I'll be back, I'll bring Help…" he Whispered…
Merak never Knew he feels this way, He was being sympathetic to others it's unlike him at all…he was usual distant from the others…or is it that he shares the same feelings to this hybrid because he himself felt the same way before like she felt right now…but unknown to him even it's a whisper Mizuki heard it…when Merak returns to Olympus…It's already morning…
"Where have you been last night?..."Amore asked all of a sudden…
"Nowhere…" Merak answered…
"Oh!, Giotto said he wants to talk to you today…" Amore said…
"Yeah…" Merak said…
Merak sat on the couch and pressed his palms on his eyes and sighed warily…Amore sat on his left while Hikari sat on his right…Hikari knowing what Merak Feels…
"Onii-san?, are you okay?..." She asked worriedly because she can sense Merak is very sad…
"Yes I'm fine…a little tired…" Merak answered….
"Then rest you'll need it…" Hikari said…
Merak nodded and lie on the couch and quickly fell asleep…
"That was fast…"Amore said…
"He must be very tired from his journey…" Hikari blinked…
Later in Vongola HQ…Merak Walked in Giotto's office…there he saw Alaude leaning on the wall asari was sitting on the sofa with Demon Spades and Giotto was sitting on the couch…
"Enter Merak and Have a sit…" Giotto ordered…
He immediately obeyed…when Merak sits on one of the couch…
"Merak…I've…no…we've noticed you're acting strange lately, what's been bothering you tell me…" Giotto said…
At first Merak Doubts, whether he'll tell or not…
"I saw another spirit…" He said, he can't lie to Giotto…
"And what's that got to do with your strange behavior?..." Alaude asked…
"Just like what happened to me before, that spirit is in pain and in danger…" Merak said…
"And what do you want to do, Merak-chan?..." Demon Spades asked…
"I must save her, before it's too late…" Merak said…
Giotto Understood why Merak acts strangely when it comes to spirit in pain and in danger…
"I understand, if you're going to find her Alaude and I will go with you…" He asked…
Merak just nodded in response…meanwhile in the Dark forest…Mizuki Laid in her flowery bed…
"Don't worry I'll be back, I'll bring help" That Mysterious Voice Whispered…
"Who was that?..." Mizuki asked herself…
She snuggled on the flowers and fell asleep…back in Vongola HQ…Merak Opens a portal…
"Let's go…" He said…
Giotto and alaude Followed Merak inside the portal…inside Merak was in his Hawk form while Giotto and Alaude was on his back…
"Why can't we step on the ground?..." Giotto asked…
"Only spirits can walk on the ground inside this portal, if humans walk inside this portal they will die…that's why I carry them on my back in this form…" Merak explained…
Later they arrived to the place where Merak went before…
"It's dark…" Alaude said…
"This is where she lives…" Merak said…
They walked and they walk until they reached the deepest part where no light shines…
"This is the place where I last saw her…" Merak said…
"Are you sure?..." Giotto asked…
Then Merak heard the Bush rustles…
"Come out I know you are here…" Merak said…
Then a shadow came out, only its narrow green eyes are visible…
"Who are you and what do you want?..." the voice asked coldly…
"We are not here to fight; we are here to help you…" Giotto said…
"LIES!" the voice hissed…
Then it attacks…but in a very good reflex Merak transformed to a large sized orange scythe and shielded Giotto, the Blade has scratches…due to pain merak transformed back to human form and winced in pain…
"Merak!..." Giotto shouted in concern…
Mizuki is shock to what she had seen…she saw wings behind Merak…
"Y-You're…You're Just…Like Me…" She said…
Merak stood up…
"Yes I'm a spirit like you…and I'm here to take you with me…" Merak said…
Mizuki looked at Giotto and Alaude…
"They won't hurt you…they are my friends…" Merak said…
"Why?...how?..." Mizuki asked…
"I want to help those people who are just like me, who inherited the light of the comet…" Merak said…
"The light?..." Mizuki asked…
"You haven't seen it?..." Merak asked…
"No, but my mother said she had seen a light before I was born, the light shined in front of her and saw a panther shaped light and disappeared…" Mizuki said…
"And you inherited that panther form or that panther is no one else but you…" Merak answered…
"Me?..." Mizuki asked…
Merak nodded…
"What about you?..."Mizuki asked…
"Oh Me?, you won't believe me…" Merak said…
"Try me…" Mizuki insisted…
"I am the very first spirit to be created…I am the Hawk Spirit and you are the Panther Spirit…we are both the same…" Merak said…
"Only the two of us?..." Mizuki asked…
"I have two youngsters in my care…so there are four of us…" Merak said…
Mizuki think for it for a while…
"If I go with you in a condition…" she said…
"Name it…" Merak said…
"You will help me to control my power…" Mizuki said…
"Very well, I will help you if you'll come with me…" Merak said…
Mizuki nodded…Later in Olympus…
"Amore!, Hikari come and meet our new friend…" Merak called…
And 3…2…1…0…
"CRASH!"
"YOU'RE BACK!" the two yelled tackling Merak on the floor…
At the sidelines…
"*is his kids always like this?*" Mizuki thought…
So…
"Merak-kun, are they your Kids?..." Mizuki asked…
On the floor, Merak turn into an interesting shade of red…
"They are the other spirits I told you…" Merak said as he stood up…
Amore and Hikari snickered…and Merak faced them…
"You kids are in so big trouble…" Merak said…
"What did we do?..."Amore asked…
"What is the purpose of tackling me on the ground?..."Merak asked…
"To get a reaction…" Hikari said…
"*sweat drop*, you started all this…" Merak said…
"Merak-kun, who's the chick" Amore asked…
"Her name is Mizuki 'Yami' Hotori…our new friend…show her around and lead her to her room…" Merak said…
While showing Mizuki around…
"Is your Big Brother always Emotionless as he is?..." Mizuki asked…
"Well, not really behind that cold mask is a really friendly person, one time I saw him smile…" Hikari said…
"Mizuki-chan, if you saw him smile I think you would rather like to see him scowl…." Amore said…
In the Dream Realm…
"ACHOO!..." Merak sneezed… "Someone's talking about me…"
Back in the castle…
"All hell will freeze if he laugh…" Amore said…
In the Dream Chamber…
"A-CHOO!" Merak sneezed again…"I swear those Brats are talking about me…."
In Mizuki's room… they are talking about how they met Merak…
"He's nice and Gentle you know like a brother, he's taking care of us like his own family…" Hikari said…
While they are talking, Merak arrived from his daily Meeting with the Light Comet, was eavesdropping…while listening…
"By the way, where is his real family?..." Mizuki asked…
Merak froze on the spot….
"I don't know he didn't tell us about it…" Amore said…
That night…in Mizuki's room…
"Your owner will be Alaude, the cloud guardian of Vongola he will help you…" Merak said…
"You mean that silent guy who went with you in the forest?..." Mizuki asked…
Merak nodded…
"He will help you train to control your power…" he said…
Then…
"Amore, Hikari no sweets for you two…" Merak said…
"AAWW!, you're no fun at all Onii-chan!" Hikari pouted…
Merak massaged his temples to relieve him from his headache…
"If you don't want to be punished stop eavesdropping and go to bed…"Merak said... "or you'll have no sweets for Months…"
Amore and Hikari's eyes grew as round as a saucer…and they ran to bed…when they are gone, Merak chuckled…then he noticed Mizuki was looking at him…
"What?..." Merak asked…
"You really love them are you?..." she asked…
"Yes, I do love them…" Merak said…
And…
"Because I don't want them to grow up just like me….without knowing what love of a parent is like…" Merak Murmured…
Mizuki heard it….
"So you are taking care of them, even though without them noticing it?..." Mizuki said…
And Merak Nodded…The next day Merak was watching Alaude and Mizuki Training, Amore is trying to get through Demon Spades' Illusion and while Hikari is trying to make a music out of the flute which is ending up on a failure…then suddenly a pulse of dizziness struck Merak and causing him to faint, before he fell on the ground Giotto caught him…
"Hey, you okay?..." Giotto asked in concern
"Yeah, I'm Fine…" Merak said…
"You should rest…" Giotto insists…
"Giotto, I'm fine really…" Merak said…
Giotto noticed that Merak looks pale and his cheeks are slightly flushed…
"Merak you're sick and you need rest…" He insisted…
When…
"Why don't you kiss him so he'll feel better giotto-san!..." Amore teased…
Giotto went red on the face…and Merak whacked Demon Spades in the head…
"What are you teaching Amore all this time!" Merak yelled…
Before Spades can answer Merak Fell and Demon Spades Caught him in time before he fell on the ground…
"Oya, he fainted…" Demon Spades said…
"No, you nearly gave him a heart attack, Spades-san…because Amore-chan is starting to become just like you…" Hikari said…
"Kufufufu…He's cute when he's angry…" Demon Spades snickered…
Hikari winced…
"Please don't let him hear that onii-san will kill you for sure…" She squeaked…
Giotto sighed…
"Just bring him inside Spades and tell Knuckles to tend Merak for awhile…" He said…
Alaude and Mizuki came to his side…
"You really worried of him…" Mizuki said… "But that's strange…a strong spirit like him to get sick…"
"Mizuki, he told me once that even the strongest get sick, no one is an exemption…" Alaude said…
"I see so he knew when people are sick is it not?..." she asked…
"Yes he does… that's why we are careful to our partners and keep them healthy and in condition…" Alaude said…
That night…
"DEMON SPADES!...YOU HENTAI!" a very aggravated yell rang on the silence of the night and a loud explosion which was belongs to Merak…
Inside the guest room Giotto and the others came running…they saw Demon Spades on the floor out cold and had a hand print on his face…
"What did he do this time?..." Giotto asked annoyed…
"That moron groped my ass while I'm Taking a Hot Bath!..." Merak yelled hysterically…
Asari came to his side and pat Merak on the back…
"Maa, Calm down Sage-san I'm sure he'll get his punishment sooner or later…" He said…
"He should be or else I'll do that myself!..." Merak Barked…
Giotto really can't make this two get along together it's too impossible, if he did they'll make a good friends, then again Demon Spades will only annoy the hell out of Merak and Merak will get Spades' Head for good and hang it on his Gate wall as a decoration…
"What am I going to do to make this two become friends?..." He thought…
At midnight…
"AAAAHHH!...MY HAIR!...MAGE!..." another scream echoed in the whole mansion and this time its Demon Spades….
In Giotto's room, Giotto groaned aggravated…
"Oh lord, when will those two stop Prank each other?..." Giotto sighed…
Giotto really don't want to know what Prank Merak Pulled to Demon Spades this time and he can't even believe that Merak can do Pranks…Perhaps Merak can be a Prankster behind that cold demeanor… then again what he did on Demon Spades is a payback…Giotto Shuddered, he have to think twice before he'll mess with Merak He don't want to risk his Pride and Dignity…
In the third room in the guest room Hikari, Mizuki and Amore snickered and at the same time trying to sleep…
"Onii-san did it again…" Hikari said…
"Demon Spades had to think twice from now on before doing something on Merak-kun…" Amore said…
"They really don't get along…" Mizuki said… "But they really are having fun doing prank on each other…"
The next day, Giotto's eye twitched, Alaude huffed trying not to laugh, Lampo gawked, G jaw dropped, Knuckle was looking somewhere, anywhere but the person in front of him but his shoulders are shaking uncontrollably which means he's trying not to laugh, asari just smiled but deep inside he was laughing like hell, Hikari and Amore was rolling on the floor laughing, Mizuki snorted and look away to contain her laughter and finally Merak had a Victory Smirk on his face saying ' That's what you get for groping me'…In front of them is Demon Spades with a very thick hair and was now wearing a pagri or turban (sort of headwear in Middle east)…
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!..." he hissed…
"Yeah you're right, it's hilarious…" Merak said Grinning evilly with a very dark aura surrounds him…
"Spades you have to think twice before you do something funny on Merak…" Giotto sighed…
"I see so that's what you get for Groping him…" Asari said…
So then on Demon Spades learned his lesson not to do something funny against Merak again, because the pay back is getting worse… as for Mizuki She was still confused why Merak and Demon Spades really don't get along…
