Chapter Eight
Disclaimer: I do not own YYH or any song that may be in this sequel.
Summary:
Many worlds, all different planets, but none connected like Earth and Silvaria. Silvaria is a small planet, just smaller than Earth itself. The planet is ruled by a single royal family, their ancestors founded the planet 1 million years ago. The Prince and his sister are the only royal blood left. Another family, one that threatens to take over the throne, is becoming more powerful. The Princess does not know what to do. Since she has awoken she has been different. She is depressed and stares out a window too much to the councilors and Prince's liking. That is, until the Princess grows her wings. Now Blaze has dreams of her koi, her Hiei. She dreams of his pain without her. No one seems to remember her at all, only one. She wishes to go back. But how? She confronts her older brother with the matter… But what will he say?
People! This is going to be in first person! In Mitsuki's eyes... Thank you and enjoy...
It's been a little over eight months since I was reunited with the gang. I missed them so much. Yes I know, I'm not really Blaze, but with her memories, her soul, and her powers, I am Blaze.
And no one seems to mind. Yes I'm the youngest in the team only being 19, but my knowledge is that of a 30 year old. I know Blaze wasn't that old, maybe her mid 20's, but she was extremely smart.
I may not have given birth to Ryuu from this body, but I myself remember everything. All the pain, the sorrow, the joy and happiness. I remember it all. I regret not being able to be there through my sons life, but he doesn't seem to mind. He was happy, he knew I was coming back. That's the power of Gin Haru alright.
I smile brightly as someone wraps their arms around my shoulders. I'm sitting in the backyard watching Ryuu and Leli play. He's 11 now, just a few days ago.
"Now that you're here... I don't have to be alone today..." Hiei didn't sound sad, only happy.
Eleven years today. It's been eleven years since I saved the world. No one would have to be sad on this day.
I leaned back into Hiei's warmth and closed my eyes. His hand fell onto my round belly. "Almost time right?"
I nod with a smile. "Yes... I want you and Yukina there for it."
Hiei nodded and kisses my cheek softly. His lips were warm on my cool skin. He watches Ryuu as Tatsu comes and joins them.
I watch Tatsu closely. He loved me, and I have a feeling he still does. But I can't help it if I'm in love with Hiei, no one can help who they fall in love with.
"Mitsuki?"
I leaned back into Hiei. "Hai?"
"Can you still fly?"
The question left me silent. Was I? I mean my dragon wings were mine, they weren't Gin Haru's... were they?
I looked down. "I... To tell you the truth... I'm not sure... I never tried that out before yet... The last time I flew was eleven years ago..."
Hiei pulled her up with a smile. "Then let's try it out now. Just because you died didn't take away the ability for me to change into a dragon or get the wings." Black dragon wings sprouted from his back.
I gazed at them with a small smile. I looked into his eyes. I'm scared to fly, I'm scared something might happen to me and the baby. And I knew it showed in my eyes, for Hiei looked at me sternly. "There's nothing that can hurt you... The Order is gone... There's no more trouble, we're in times of peace again."
I hesitated but nodded. Something told me otherwise, like I knew he was wrong, but I didn't so I left it alone. I closed my eyes and found the power within me. I urged the wings for flight, wings sprouted from the power as it did from my back.
I moaned in pain. The pain was unbearable! It felt like someone was tearing at the skin from the inside between my shoulder blades. I never felt any kind of pain like this before. I kept in a scream as the wings unfurled. I heard a flap that a bird made and heard a few gasps. I opened my eyes to see Yukina and Lina right behind Hiei.
Hiei was staring at my wings blankly. I looked behind me to see large black feathered wings. I stared at them in horror.
Why do I have angel wings? And why are they black! What happened to me being a dragon? What happened to the silver dragon wings? Is this why it hurt so much... because they weren't my wings?
Something was wrong, and again I could feel it. I shook my head and willed the wings to go away. They covered me almost from everyone's view and disappeared in a burst of feathers. Feathers fell to the ground, disappearing as they touched the ground.
I stared at the ground feeling myself start to shake. "Some thing's wrong... some thing's terribly wrong."
Strong arms wrapped around me and I instantly buried my face into Hiei's chest. "What's wrong with me? I'm not the same! I want to be the woman you fell in love with!"
Hiei's arms tightened around me. It made me start to cry. I didn't know if it was out of pity or if it was because he did truly love me.
"You don't have to be the same woman I fell in love with. You've changed. You lived a different life until eleven years ago. You've been your own person for 9 years and suddenly you're changing, becoming both a different person and yourself. But one thing is for sure... I love you no matter what Mitsuki."
I cried harder, clutching his shirt in my hands.
"Mommy... Please don't cry..." I pulled away from Hiei and looked down at Ryuu. I smiled and held him close.
"I won't... I won't cry anymore Ryuu honey... I promise..."
That's right. I have a family. I have the best husband anyone could ask for, a darling son and a baby girl on the way, all three of them my pride and joy, my life. I have to be strong for my family. I look at Hiei and know he's thinking the same thing. We both have to be strong for each other and our children.
Something burst and I fell to my knees shaking. Something wet fell to the ground between my legs. Lina and Yukina rushed to my side.
"Her water broke! We have to get her inside now!" Lina looked to Hiei. "Take her to the nursery. Yukina and I will get some stuff for her and get Kurama."
Hiei picked me up. I clutched to him, still not used to the rush I get when he runs at top speed. In a matter of 2 seconds I was on the bed in the nursery room on our floor.
Hiei stayed next to me, holding my hand. "Another baby... Our family is growing... Do you want it to continue to grow my love?"
Do I? Did I want this family of ours to continue to grow? Do I want more children? I'll be getting the boy and girl that I've always wanted... Do I really want more? What am I saying? We're both demons, we have years to live, our family will continue to grow.
I smiled at Hiei. "As the years pass, the number of times we make love will not determine how many kids we'll have. In the future we will have more children but... for the time being, let's stick with just the two."
Hiei nodded, his eyes glistening. "Yes... We'll stick with the two for now..." He leaned towards me and kissed me, searching my mouth with his tongue. Just as I was about to react the way he wanted someone opened the door.
We pulled away and looked at the door to see Kurama, Yukina and Lina.
They came in and instantly the long labor continued.
Six hours later...
The sound of a high pitched wailing came to my ears. My hair was plastered to me from the sweat, my body shaking lightly. Kurama handed me a small bundle of red. I held the bundle in my arms, Hiei sitting next to me, nursing his hand.
Inside the bundle was a cleaned up and beautiful little girl. She had blue black hair and bright green eyes. She was slightly pale, but I knew that as she grew up her skin would get darker.
She was crying until I started to sing.
"Hush little baby don't say a word, momma's going to but you a mocking bird... If that mocking bird doesn't sing, momma's going to buy you a diamond ring... If that diamond ring turns to brass, momma's going to buy you a looking glass... If that looking glass gets broke, momma's going to buy you a billy goat... If that billy goat won't pull, momma's going to buy you a cart and pull... If that cart and pull turns over, momma's going to buy you a dog named Rover... If that dog named Rover doesn't bark, momma's going to buy you a horse and cart... If that horse and cart fell down, well you'd still be the sweetest little baby in town..."
The small bundle was quiet. I smiled and she pulled at my shirt, pushing my breast. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.
Hiei kissed my neck. "No need to be shy, love... You've done it before... There's no shame..."
Why the hell was I blushing? I mean Hiei only saw me stripped naked!
I unbuttoned the first few buttons of my night shirt and pulled the left shoulder down so that the little girl could eat. Her small mouth clasped around my nipple and she started to suck.
I look at her with a smile. "How about you give her a name Hiei?" I look at him to see that he was staring at me in slight shock.
"Why me?"
"Because she's going to look like you when she grows up..." His eye twitched and I laughed. "I'm only kidding!" I looked back down at her. "She'll be just like Ryuu... He has your eyes and appearance with my hair... And she'll have my eyes and appearance and your hair, only it won't stand up like yours..." I looked at him again and saw him looking at me.
"Ai..."
I blinked. Love. I smiled at him. "Her name? Why Ai?"
He leaned in closer. "Because she's another addition to our family, she's another symbol of our love..." He kissed me.
He pulled away and looked at the baby girl that was feeding. "Doesn't that hurt?"
I looked at him with a smile. "Sure... But we don't complain... unless she develops her teeth early... Which she better not..."
There was a knock on the door and Yusuke walked in. "Hey... How's the little brat doing?"
Ismiled brightly. "She's doing great..."
"I was talking about Hiei." He gave a wide grin.
Hiei gave him a cold glare. I chuckled. "He's doing just fine... Still trying to get over the fact that he's a changed man and won't show that in front of everyone else."
Yusuke smiled. "Oh... we know he is, no matter how much he tries to hide it."
Hiei glared and looked away. I leaned against him while Ai continued to suckle on my breast.
"So it's a girl? What'd you guys name her?"
I looked down at the small bundle with a loving look. "Her name is Ai..."
Yusuke nodded and left, going to tell the others none the less. I guess Kurama didn't tell them when he left the room.
Ai stopped suckling and pulled away, falling asleep instantly. Hiei pulled the sleeve back up so it covered my breast. "Mitsuki?"
I looked at him to see he was looking at me with so much love in his eyes that I thought I would drown in it. "Yes Hiei?"
He pulled me into a deep kiss. I melted and leaned closer into him. He pulled away slightly. "Aishiteru..."
I smiled slightly. "I love you as well Hiei..." I opened my eyes and stared into the crimson pools I loved oh so much. All of his pain that I used to see before was no longer there, there was no more signs of a killer, but I knew it was still there. But I didn't care, at least I knew that if I couldn't protect myself and our children, my love would always be there.
Something tugged at my senses. Something evil was going to happen and I knew it. But it wasn't strong.
Over the next twoyears the evil continued to grow, but at a slow pace.
As Ryuu became 13 and Ai 2, I felt the evil grow rapidly.
I am currently in the back yard of the 4 story house looking at the sky. Ryuu was with the others in training. Ai was with Yukina who was making lunch. I was alone as I stood in the large back yard and stared at the sky.
The blue sky started to get this evil tint. A shiver ran down my spine. "Why do I feel this? How am I the only one that feels it...?"
"Blaze? Blaze is that you? Oh dear Gin Haru it is you!" A man's voice rang in my head. The image of what was my brother on Silvaria appeared before me. I blinked.
"I am sorry Brother... I am no longer Blaze... I am Mitsuki, a double of Blaze but still Blaze herself along with my own self."
The man shook his head. "You are still Blaze, but under a different name. I don't have much time. The elders here have foreseen the troubles that are brewing... There are doubles of all the two families of Silvaria on Earth. They are the making of the Order! You were the first, but to them you were a failure, a mistake!"
I nodded. Now it was all falling into place. The reason I felt so drawn to the evil was because they were like me, I could feel them, but I wasn't drawn to their plans.
I nodded. "I understand... I will take care of it... Don't worry brother I'll be safe..."
He smiled. "Good... Just contact me when everything is safe... when you're safe. OK?"
I nodded. "Got it..."
His image dissappeared.
I looked at the sky yet again. "There's a great evil coming... And... They're looking for me..."
