I'm SOOOO sorry for the late update! If anybody is still reading this fic, Please forgive me!
Rōzu felt a strong urge to save her best friend from the demon, something was very wrong, but she just couldn't pinpoint it, her dreams were getting weirder and weirder as the days went past, when she was little she always dreamed of the same person, a beautiful with silky black hair and long nails, she had told her mother about the beautiful lady but she dismissed it as a simple child's dream, Rōzu was seeing her again, whenever she closed her eyes, the beautiful lady was waiting for her, but now it was different, her skin wasn't perfect and untouched, it was marred, with scars scattered everywhere, her hair covered one eye and when her stomach showed there was a long scar along the bottom of her stomach which looked painful, in places her skin was pulled together in burn scars, Rōzu even glimpsed one on her hip at one point, the beautiful lady seemed to have taken a terrible beating, but instead of the kind conversations they used to have, the beautiful lady spoke more seriously, and now that Koshka had appeared, more often. Rōzu returned to her room and laid down on her couch, she wanted to talk to the beautiful lady again, but didn't feel tired at all, so she pulled out one of her textbooks, it was still brand-new, never been touched. She began to read it and soon fell asleep.
Dream: Rōzu found herself in a meadow, with rose bushes dotting the landscape, the beautiful lady was waiting in the middle of the meadow, sitting in the grass, this time her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, allowing Rōzu to see that one of her eyes was covered with a black eye patch, she looked up and smiled at Rōzu
"It's good to see you again" Rōzu joined her and knelt in the grass
"You too" the beautiful lady plucked a flower from the ground, she blew on it and the petals flew away on the wind. She looked at Rōzu with one golden eye
"I hate to ask favours, but might you do something? It is of utmost importance" Rōzu leaned forward
"Anything" the beautiful lady smiled
"I wish you to visit a graveyard" images of the graveyard and how to find it popped into Rōzu's mind as the beautiful lady continued
"Along a stone wall you will find jars of ashes, shaped as the Christian cross" more images. "There will be one with a black calla lily in front of it. I want you to steal that jar and hide it in your room" Rōzu looked shocked
"Steal a dead person's ashes?! Why the hell would you want me to do that?!" the beautiful lady remained calm
"As I said, it is of utmost importance, but you will be unable to understand before the time is right" Rōzu frowned
"Is it really that important?" the beautiful lady nodded
"Yes, it is" Rōzu sighed
"Okay then, I'll get the ashes" the beautiful lady smiled
"I can't thank you enough"
Rōzu was awoken by someone knocking on her door
"Burūmingurōzu, I need to speak with you" she rolled her eyes, only her father used her full name, she climbed up and opened the window in silence, climbing out and jumping down to the ground with a yawn, she looked at the sky, it was midday, she wasn't used to being up so late, she shrugged and jumped over the wall, moving sneakily towards the school gate. She came upon the cemetery the beautiful lady had shown her, chills ran down her spine with every step and she walked stiffly through rows, shivering, she found the rows of vases, all with roses in front of them, bar one, with a black calla lily, Rōzu murmured a quick apology to the dead person and took the vase, hiding it in her jacket, she hurried out of the cemetery and left to go back to the school, she hid the vase in her drawer and covered it with the formal princessy clothes that she never wore. Then she lay down and closed her eyes, unable to shake the terrible feeling upon her.
Dream: Rōzu was at the same graveyard as she had stolen the ashes from, the beautiful lady was sitting in place of the vase, the calla lily in her hand, she smiled kindly at Rōzu
"I thank you greatly" Rōzu nodded
"Now will you tell me?" the beautiful lady looked at Rōzu
"Not yet, there is more to this" Rōzu looked down
"I guess I have no reason not to trust you" the beautiful lady smiled
"There is a certain ritual you need to perform with the ashes" images flashed through Rōzu's mind, images describing a dark ritual, Rōzu flinched
"Why are you heaping all of this on me now?" the beautiful lady held up two fingers
"One, you are now old enough to do this. Two, I have only recently located the ashes" Rōzu sighed and smiled, opening her eyes to stare at the roof, she got up, class wouldn't start for hours, and the ritual didn't take long, from what she could gather from the images. She pulled the ashes out of her drawer and began gathering materials.
Nothing had felt so right. Nothing had ever felt so right as when he held Koshka in his arms, but at the same time, nothing had felt just so wrong. Her lips didn't seem to know how to move when they kissed, she didn't seem to remember how she would nuzzle him when he held her. It was like a different person wearing Koshka's skin. Koshka pressed harder against him and he tightened his grip, she wasn't purring. It made sense, after being burned alive, that she would be sad, he just wished he could listen to her rumbling purr again.
Rōzu finished the initial ritual, chanting, she broke the vase and let the ashes scatter, then they began to move, Rōzu fell silent as the ashes formed a shape, ash becoming bone and muscle before her eyes, a figure soon took shape, a woman, she was soon completely made, she dropped to her knees on the ground and Rōzu grabbed the blanket from her never-used queen sized canopy bed, she wrapped it around the stranger's bare shoulders as she slowly opened her eyes, she blinked once, twice. Then her face broke into a dazzling smile
"What a beautiful day to be alive" she whispered in a perfect voice. Rōzu offered her hand to the woman and she took it, holding the blanket shut, Rōzu pulled her up to stand and she took two wobbly steps, then smiled again, holding the bedpost to keep upright, Rōzu fished out a black and white kimono with silver thread depicting branches full of cherry blossoms and gave it to her, helping her put it on, the lady looked up at Rōzu, her hair covering her face
"You're a good girl Rōzu, I'm sure your parents are proud" Rōzu shrugged
"I get into a lot of trouble though" the lady laughed a laugh which sounded like it was from the heavens
"They still love you, and you are still their pride and joy" she murmured, and then stood up "I beg of you to tell no one of this" Rōzu nodded and the lady climbed onto the windowsill and she leaped out, the kimono flying out behind her.
The lady stopped in front of Koshka, then gritted her teeth
"Hündin" Koshka pulled out of Zero's arms with a smile
"So you're alive then….Koshka?"
Zero's eyes went wide, something was very wrong, there were two Koshkas! To be honest it was sort of a dream coming true, but he didn't like this, he stepped away, one of the Koshkas was mauled and injured, the same way she had been when she died, and wearing tattered black clothes. While the other Koshka had perfect unbroken skin, and both of her eyes were showing, narrowed in anger, she was wearing a black and white Kimono. The injured Koshka chuckled and began to wipe off what appeared to be makeup; she pulled the patch off her eye and grinned
"Why do you have to ruin the moment Koshka?" Zero stepped back, the two Koshkas were staring each other down, the kimono Koshka clenched her fists
"Because you're having that moment with my mate" the other Koshka laughed
"He didn't know the difference" they were identical, down to the last detail, but now that they were together, he noticed a difference in accents, kimono Koshka had that familiar strong Russian accent, while other Koshka had a similarly strong accent which sounded…German? Kimono Koshka growled
"You are low, Hündin. Show your true colours" other Koshka changed only slightly, those all-too-familiar black cat's ears grew and became golden brown, that swishing black tail shortened and became the same colour, and those deadly claws dulled and became black. Now he was sure that the real Koshka was in the kimono, and the other person was named Hündin. Koshka looked at him with those golden eyes and smiled
"I'm back…Moya lyubov'" Zero's heart swelled, this was the same demon he had fallen in love with, back from the dead. But who exactly was Hündin? Koshka looked back at the doppelgänger who chuckled
"You always ruin my fun, big sister"
O_O That's right, Koshka has a sis-ta! And Hündin's doggy appearance is based off my dog in colour because she's so unbelievably adorable!
Hündin: *Grin*
Koshka: *Glare*
Zero: *Tennis match eyes*
Me: Like and Favorite if you enjoyed!
Rōzu: Dude, wrong site
(Return of the evil brother) Altaïr (to me): Who the hell are you talking to...?
Me: I don't know! \^u^/
