Who does she really love?

Chapter 10

Confession

Everyone just looked at Lil, she was going to die? They turned to look at Kish next, just standing there, looking at the ground. What were they missing? Was there something they just didn't know? And how did they know each other in the first place, wasn't she human?

Ryou looked at Lil and knew this was what Kish said earlier meant. He didn't want to believe it. He finally realized he loved her and she loved him. How could she run from him? It took him all this time to realize that he loved her, that she was always there for him, and now she wasn't leaving him just when he found out they loved each other.

He turned to Kish and said, "Stop her!" Kish looked at him funny, he knew that command that multiple meanings, he was curious that a human would have found love in his Lil. How were they connected?

He shook his head, "I made her a promise I wouldn't stop her, I would only back her up. I can't help you. Sorry dude, you asked too late." That was when Kish remembered the promise he made her knowing full well she asked him just because of this, so no one could stop her.

FLASHBACK

"Kish, I…have to do something before…" she dropped her head, Kish understood; he put his hand under her chin and lifted it up. He looked into her blue eyes and said "You do what you want and have to do; I will never stop you okay? Just…don't regret anything you do alright? Try not to start something that will take a long time to accomplish okay?"

Lil for the first time in a long time truly smiled, and chuckled, as she said "Okay Kish, if I need you I will call you okay? I am just going to have some fun before it…my destiny takes place." Kish nodded, promising what she asked of him, knowing full well he might regret it.

Kish could she that when she talked about her so-called destiny it made her sad, it made her the way she was before, lifeless, emotionless. Like she was there, acting, moving but not alive, he wished he would never see her like that again, but he knew that he probably would never have the time to ever make her smile like that again. For her time was drawing near, he wouldn't have much time to make up for everything that she would lose.

END OF FLASHBACK

He was right, he did regret it, what she wanted to do was hurt Ichigo so deeply, or did she? If this was part of the prophecy then it had nothing to do with her. He loved Ichigo yes, but Lil meant so much more to him; she needed him more then anyone. She didn't have anyone, but him right now and what she needed was someone to back her up to support her and that was just what he would do.

Lil was still mad with rage ignoring everyone around her. The only thing she could see the only thing she knew was that Masaya was in front of her. Like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

"You killed my brother, now I have to die because of some damn prophecy I made some hundreds of years ago. This is my way to repay you for everything you have done for me. It is the only way I can sleep at night knowing I paid you back in full, plus with interest..."

Her staff appeared and changed into a sword. With one slash, the boy, Masaya, the one that killed her brother, Deep Blue, the one that was making her fulfill the prophesy she mad so long ago, he was dead.

Silence was the only thing you heard for a while. Then a scream, which sounded like bloody murder, was heard, followed by screams of angst yelling the dead boy's name.

Then Lil collapsed, her sword/staff disappeared. Kish was at her side in a matter of moments, holding her.

"I told you, not do anything; you are still weak from blacking out earlier. Now you may not be able to move for a while. Are you okay? I don't just mean physically sweetie, I mean mentally too. Are you really okay?"

She nodded, breathing hard and fast. She looked at him and said, "Part one and two of the Prophecy is complete. Part two was to kill the murderer."

Ryou came up to her and had such sadness in his eyes that she had to look away, "So this is what you were telling me when we were kids. Some idiotic destiny you couldn't escape from, Lil. How many parts are there to this so called prophecy?"

She looked at him and said, "I owe that at least right? Part one, find the half breed that lives on Earth and goes back and forth between the worlds, one who can create a portal between worlds. Part two, kill the murderer of Deep Blue, only one who can kill him is the half breed. Part three, the ritual…"

She couldn't continue to say anymore, and buried her face in Kish's chest. Kish knew it was time to go then.

He picked her up bridal style and got to his feet. He looked at her and said gently, softly, "Will you open the gate? You don't have to walk, I will carry you okay."

She raised her hand and just moved it, without taking her face from his chest. A black light came and an oval portal was open. Kish was gone after it was fully opened. After she disappeared through the portal with him, he was carrying her of course so well he went she did as well. Once she was gone, and as soon as she was gone so was the portal it had closed.

Ryou felt like his heart was being ripped apart, he finally found someone who loved him just as much as he loved her and then he is told she has to die? What kind of fucked up world is this?
