Chapter 14: Time to get over
warning: necrophilia (16+)
I'll mark the paragraphs; don't read them if you're not comfortable with it (as a matter of fact, the necrophilia paragraphs are made to show you what is in Sai's head, not really for the sick mature content)
"She just left…"
The little koorime was running through the forest of Reikai. Weird…it was strange to see that innocent girl with mint colored hair running desperately to reach that point that would free her from that insane calling. Yes, something was calling her somewhere in that forest. Something or someone, she didn't know, but she wanted to be there, though that wish was feeling like a fake. A fake wish? Weren't creatures capable to feel their own emotions? Weren't those capable to control their being as long a soul belonged to a body?
Who knew…?
Koenma's POV
A new born baby opens his eyes to see the world for the first time. What an amazing feeling…
But I opened my eyes back then only too see again the world that I was starting to despite more and more. My vision was blurred, but I knew it would fade away quickly. I was feeling strange. The little girl that left, my own daughter, managed to wake up a new feeling inside me. Maybe it was hope, but that wouldn't help me. Determination? Or the almost dead love? Why dead? Everybody had questions. But I realized she has awakened hate. I only had to find out for whom.
I rose up slowly, prepared to see the damage she had done. I knew she left, I knew she hurt people
on her way, and I knew I had to do something. I was responsible for everything. The door of my office was opened, as well as the window that let inside the cold air. I felt a chill run down my spine and I become, easily, terrified at what the little girl had done with us…all of us. First me, then Botan, Hiei, Yukina, followed closely by all the others. She was changing lives, and I didn't want to allow it. And I still had to find out lots of things I didn't know back then.
I got out of the room and felt my knees melt under me when I saw my reaper, my little cheery blue haired grim reaper on the ground. My niece…That was the point where the damage my daughter made had starter. I couldn't be counted in, because I was holding the fault for my own wounds. I hurried towards her and bent down, turning her so she was facing the ceiling. Her eyes were closed, there was no sign of injury. She was the victim of my little girl's shock wave…what a stupid name for something so powerful. But it wasn't her power, that was not my little girl. That was her mother, Ame, that was her power, her choice of my girl's destiny, her fault. That was the moment when I realized that I was only blaming Ame so I didn't have to blame myself.
I shook the girl in my hands slightly, hoping I could wake her up. I knew she was alright. She had to be. Chiaki wouldn't kill. She had to kill her first promised victim before she would become what Sai wanted her to be. I was relying on that. I was hoping I could do something before that, and make my daughter an innocent child again. But she was innocent…just that her innocence was killing…and taking the shape of a spark flying above her shoulder. If I wanted to do something, I had to separate her from her present. But that meant killing her as well…I had to get over everything, to give up the hope of seeing my innocent little girl again, and stop everything before it was too late. Too late…everybody says that sometimes, but not everybody manages to find a happy ending…
Botan moved slightly, opening her eyes and looking up at me to see determination and hate. Her eyes were curious, and I knew she would ask me what happened. I let her remember everything, before I could take the step forward. She rose up at the same time with me, leaning on the wall for support. I couldn't wait anymore. I was anxious, and ready to get over everything.
"Botan…I need you to do something" She wasn't expecting that. Probably she hoped she could get five minutes for recovering, but I didn't have five minutes. Time…such a sadistic term. She nodded, signing me I could go ahead. "You'll go to Sai's house." I wasn't in the mood to ask for favors or to say "please". I only wanted everything done. "After you feel better, go there. But do it quickly. As you get there, stole his own sai. It's the only way…"
Normal POV
He turned around to see a baby blue-haired girl with wide eyes staring at him. He recognized her immediately as being his niece, the one whose mother he killed a long time ago. Unlike a hunted would have done, he left his pray, rising up with the same insane look Botan saw earlier at his daughter.
"You…"
Somewhere in that huge forest of Reikai, a little thin girl was sitting in the dark, under the
moonlight, under an old oak tree. The Firefly was floating above her shoulder, as her father, her real father remembered her every second of his clueless life. She was just sitting there, waiting. But waiting for what? For the one she called. And she kept staying there, looking at the obsidian sky scattered with glowing stars, until a little koorime stopped in beside her, falling to her knees.
