Here's the long awaited chapter 10! enjoy it!
Ch 9: Overcoming the Dark
The youkai growled at Kitty, flexing its claws. She narrowed her eyes into her infamous 'Scarier-than-Hiei' death glare. The youkai smirked again, and lunged forward, its claws aimed at her.
She ducked, and punched the youkai in the stomach, hurtling her backwards. The youkai flipped, landing back on her feet with natural-born grace, the same grace Kitty had.
The youkai lunged again, but faster than before. Kitty had no time to dodge it. She tried to dodge to the right, but the youkai managed to graze her arm. She looked at her wound, but it did not bleed. 'Oh yeah, I'm dead.'
She focused back on the youkai, and finally extended her claws. They almost matched the youkai's claws, almost. She lunged forward with surprising swiftness, and proceeded to slashing at the youkai continuously until the youkai had the sense to slash her back.
She retreated, a gash on her shoulder that would not bleed. She watched the youkai carefully, getting ready to anticipate its move.
The youkai lunged once more, but Kitty was ready for her. She ducked down, grabbed the youkai's leg, and swung her into a wall that had appeared out of nowhere. 'How did that get there? Unless…this place must be controlled with the mind…to make things appear you have to imagine they are there.'
The youkai shook its head, silver hair swinging from side-to-side. Then she got up and circled around Kitty, waiting and watching.
Kitty stood perfectly still, her eyes closed, focusing on tracking the youkai with her other senses besides sight. Sight can be easily fooled, but if you know how to use your other senses, then it'll be much harder to be fooled.
The youkai got impatient and lunged forward, snarling.
Kitty turned quickly, jumping, and kicked the demon in the face, sending her crashing into a brick wall that had materialized.
The youkai slid down the wall, leaving a trail of blood on the wall as it slid down. It crumpled to the ground, unmoving. Then it faded away, along with the wall, into nothingness.
Kitty's mother appeared again, positively beaming. "Oh Kitty! You've done it! You did it my child! You can go back now! You have another chance at life! I'm so proud of you!" she said, hugging her daughter tightly against her.
Kitty hesitated, but wrapped her arms around her deceased mother's ghost, or whatever she was, and for once in three years, a true smile broke out on her face, tears running down her cheeks. Tears that had been held back for those three long years, tears of sadness, tears of joy, tears of fear, tears of loneliness, and oh so much more.
She began to feel her body fading, which meant she was soon to be back in her real body. She smiled at her mother and waved as she faded as well, drifting apart.
"Tell Evee I said well done! And remember, I love both of you and will watch over you!" were her mother's last echoing, fading words, before everything went black once again.
Evee looked towards her dead sister's body again. She had refused to bury her, hoping beyond hope she would return somehow. She wanted her little sister here with her. She hadn't said whether she had forgiven her or not. But that was of little importance to her now. All she wanted was her sister alive and well. She had bandaged up the many wounds inflicted on her, practically her whole body wrapped in bandages.
Her delicate face was now free of the blood that had stained it, little did she know, so was her heart and soul.
She stood up, finally deciding to go take a hot spring bath, hoping that when she returned, she'd find her sister alive. 'It isn't well to dwell on false hope.' she reminded herself.
She walked out, seeing Hiei up in the tree, looking out towards the forest. He had not spoken to her since he had brought her sister home. She guessed that this had really affected him much, seeing as all he did now was mope, and cry. Yes, cry. She knew that was the reason he never turned to look at her when she attempted to speak with him. She could smell the tears, the fresh and the old. Her heart ached for him, he really had loved Kitty. But in which way? As a very dear friend, or… something more…personal?
That question bothered her, for she had found she was smitten with the sexy shrimp. She had known this feeling was something, but hadn't realized what it was.
She sighed inwardly, heading towards the hot springs once more. Maybe a bath would lighten her mood up.
