I got dressed and walked to my basement office as I called the general. I felt a sense of relief and confidence. Although the thought of that man actually being Rin was far more than I would like to expect, but I didn't want to speculate. I would make the general think I'm crazy and call me back home. The screen turned on to show the signa of our department and then the call was live. I took a breath and hoped nothing would drag me down.
Time Skip…
I walked out and the host club, my brothers, and Will as they looked at me with intense stares. I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.
"That reaction doesn't make me feel good." Will whispered as he looked at the hosts.
I tried to relax as I put my hands to my side. "My father does not know of my brothers, nor does he suspect any mystical magical anything that's been going on with me. I wouldn't beleive anyone sane would anyway."
I felt slightly embarrassed as I cleared my throat and avoided the eye contact from the host club.
"Now it would only seem like Sutekh is being recognized by my secret organization. My father is certainly getting anxious, but not necessarily upset. He simply agreed and nodded his head when I said that it was difficult in trying to find his location."
"What were your instructions?" Will asked stepping forward.
I looked at him and looked to the window.
"I am to stay here and wait until further notice. They want to keep me stationed here if anything happens to you guys. It seems like all of your families were more important than I thought." I scoffed.
"Well of course our families are. Clearly you should know by now Kira."
I looked at Kyoya who looked at me with an intense stare. Something about that stare, well the way the hosts were looking at me made me uncomfortable. It was probably because I knew something about them that they didn't.
I looked at my brothers and they knew what I was thinking. I had told them about my dream and they were at first shocked, but quickly were accepting of the fact that they had this power, and Sutekh had a reason on why they were being sought after as well.
"My brothers and I wanted to talk to all of you about something." I started but Orion was quick to interject. I looked at him and got a strange
Everyone looked at me with curious eyes at first and I only shrugged.
"What is it?" Answered Will.
"Not you Will, but the hosts. Will all of you come with me?"
Orion started walking to the door and turned to look at us with a curious look to his face.
"Well aren't you coming?" He said and all of us followed him to wherever he wanted to take us.
We walked to the back of my house where the large lake was and we looked at Hachi.
"Could you please take all of them with you to a good distance, but leave Haruhi.
"Me too?" I asked as I looked at Orion with seriousness.
"Oh no, you just step a few steps back when I tell you." He smiled innocently and I did what he told me.
"Are you all set up there?" Yelled Orion.
"Yeah!" The group yelled.
Haruhi looked at me puzzled.
"Do you know what's going on?" She mouthed and I shrugged my shoulders and nodded my head. I didn't know what my brothers were up to.
'What exactly could they be planning?'
"Alright Kira, now you will step back with me. When I say now, you do whatever comes instinctively. I think I might have a slight theory that will speed up this process."
Orion laughed as be began to step back and I with him. We were about 20 paces when he stopped. What he did next I was not expecting. He changed form and was quickly charging towards Haruhi at full speed.
"Orion!" I yelled as I pumped my legs towards Haruhi and I lifted my hands to move her as Orion grazed the rock making it shift and Haruhi scream.
"What the hell has gone through your mind?!" I yelled as I grabbed him by the horns and flipped him over and he quickly shifted into a human as he grabbed my arms and put them behind me. I grunted as I rolled taking him with me looking at Haruhi with worried large eyes.
I caught a slight glimpse of the host club who were extremely worried and Hachi had to switch forms to stop them from coming any closer. When Orion was about to hit the ground I opened it and trapped him inside the ground to give me enough time and get Haruhi as she looked at me worriedly.
"What exactly is going on?" She asked and I looked at my armlet and it began to glow a yellow colour and when I touched it, the end of a bow stuck out and I grabbed it enthusiastically as Orion sprung up like a daisy from the ground clean, and unblemished like he hadn't touched the ground. In his hands was a weapon of some sort. I didn't know what it was it was like a shepherd's crook but made out of pumice rock. When he pointed it towards us, I narrowed my eyes and slashed the air. I was confused for a second when a horrible eardrum tearing noise came from Orion and I dropped to the floor writhing in pain. I screamed as I could feel my ears bleeding and as I glimpsed at Haruhi she looked confused like if she didn't hear anything.
"She can't hear it. It works only on the opponents I'm focusing on in battle." I could hear Orion speak. He swung again as he was approaching and I looked at Haruhi and then the bow. She looked at me wide eyed and I simply closed my eyes as she took it and like instinct took her hair pin I gave to her and drew the string back as she pointed it towards Orion.
"I think that's enough." Haruhi said in the most fiercest voice I have ever heard her speak in before. The noise stopped and Haruhi rushed to my aid as she looked at me with worried brown eyes. "Kira…"
She stopped and I looked at her with wide eyes. "I understand now." I turned my head to my brother and looked at him angrily. "How could you Orion." I stood up with the ringing in my ears beginning to stop.
"I'm sorry, but Hachi and I theorized that by them being in danger with either you being the one to harm, or help, their reflexes to.."
"OORIIOON! HOW COULD YOU!" I yelled and lunged myself towards him as I shifted into a tiger. His eyes widened and pulled the same strange looking shepherd's crook out and jumped back. He swung it in my direction and this time I didn't hear anything. Now that I had an advantage I quickly dashed towards him and I opened my mouth and jumped to reach him to bring him down.
Just as I hit the floor I shifted back into my human self and got close to my brothers face touching his nose with mine. "How could you, you knew that I want to protect them with my life. I have too much going on in my mind else have the both of you planned without telling me?" I looked up and looked at Hachi with narrowed eyes. He squirmed slightly, as the hosts looked at him as well.
Both of them should have felt guilty, but I suppose they used it to their advantage to speed up the process. I got up and walked towards Haruhi who had the bow and arrow in her hand. I eyed the black and red weapon and it glimmered slightly in the semi cloudy sky. Haruhi lifted the weapon to hand it to me. I inspected it and my armlet turned the same color. It started to heat up slightly and I knew it was fire opal. "It's not my weapon Haruhi, it's yours." I handed it back as the hosts walked behind Haruhi to look at the grand weapon as well.
"How do I put it away?" She asked as she took a hold of it again.
"Your heart has to put it away." Orion said as he stood up and rubbed the back of his neck. I grunted as I looked at him from the corner of my eye and he looked away.
"Well that sounds very cliche, and not helpful at all." Haruhi said as she took her arrow and then fused it with the bow. I walked towards her and sighed with a small chuckle.
"Hold the bow with both of your hands stretched out in front of you. Then close your eyes and imagine it taking a form where you can take it out easily." I whispered and as she did, it shifted into a twisted bracelet.
"Even though this minor setback occurred that doesn't mean that I'm going to stop what I planned for today. I will keep a close eye on my brothers before they execute any other surprise attacks."
"Kira please forgive me…" I turned around and looked at my brother with a hard stare. "You will need to gain it back Orion. I would have never expected that from you. And I assume that you were never intentionally going to hurt her, but you used me. Things like trust are very hard to come by with me. So I advise you to never do anything like that again." I looked into my brothers golden eyes and I could see the hurt, but he did it upon himself.
"Now continuing with what I wanted to say. Even though from the very beginning I never wanted any of you to be exposed to any danger, but being realistic to future event's that's not going to happen. No matter how much I want to stop it. It's your destiny to help me." I took a breath and clenched my hands into fists.
"Until all of you have your weapons, my bothers and I will help you master weapons for battle, but not kill your opponent. Even though I am knowledged in weapons for the most part, my brothers have a longer history. Both supernatural and magical. That is why my brothers and I will train all of you starting today. Orion will be off limits, and will only be consoled on knowledge when needed."
The host club looked at me with surprise all but one, and that was Kyoya. "Why are we doing this all of the sudden? How could we all be possibly be connected? We have no knowledge about your family. Also, if we were connected, why haven't our parents told us anything about it?"
A cool breeze past us as the faint moan of the trees echoed through the woods.
"Would you want to tell your child after generations of waiting for someone that they might not come in your lifetime? That's why I'm here. That's why all of us are connected." I looked at them seriously and held out my arm.
"I'm not sure when Sutekh is going to come, or his brother, if he is alive."
"Wait. He has a brother?" Yelled the twins.
"Unfortunately." Answered Hachi.
"And before you say anything Ootori, I am full aware of all possible consequences that can happen. But all of you have qualities that make all of you better than anyone out there. But, then even my brothers and I have very limited knowledge on all of this. But why all of you are even here in the first place is because of one thing. All of you are destined, and connected with my family as guardians." I touched my face and disguised myself into the renowned Spirit.
As I did, my armlet glowed, and so did the hosts', and Will's jewelry. Behind the mask I was smiling wide and the shocked looked on everyone's faces was utterly priceless. Once the blue toned glow was gone I changed back and Kyoya spoke up first.
"So you have to be involved in regards to us receiving our weapons?"
Hachi spoke for me. "We think that might be it, but you on your own could discover your own weapon, or the weapon might choose you."
"That does not make any sense, but I suppose nothing really did since the beginning." Haruhi said sheepishly.
"Now to prove to all of you that all of you are connected, I need to have a talk with your parent's." I smirked but suddenly lost my balance.
"Kira!" I heard them yell and was grasped by Will who looked at me with concern. "I'm sorry. I felt a little weak there." I said grabbing my head. "Let's go inside. We can talk about this later." Will said to everyone and I agreed. We walked and then that's when I had the urge to throw up. I leaned against the tree and threw up...blood.
I gasped and started to feel the world turning black.
When I woke up, I felt cold. Almost like if I was back in the organization's testing lab.
When I opened my eyes there were various people around me. I couldn't see them properly, not could I hear what they were saying. As my eyesight started to clear up, they looked like scientists and my eyes widened. I shot up and started to scream.
I was detained as I clearly started some serious commotion. I threw one of them against the wall and they fell to the floor unconscious.
"Get me out! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I yelled even louder. "I don't want to be experimented on again! Please! Some one! Please!" I felt something sharp on my neck and I stopped moving and my actions were unresponsive, as well as my breath started to slow down.
The door opened to see Kyoya and my brothers accompanied with Will.
"What the hell are all of you doing?" Yelled Kyoya. "My father only instructed a simple diagnosis of the patient, never did he order any other tests!"
Will took the needle and his face darkened. "This is pancuronium bromide! They're trying to kill her!"
"But not fast enough!" "Administer the potassium chloride!" Another one yelled. I was frightened and then that's when it happened.
Kyoya brought out his weapon with a glow of purple light, but by then my eyes closed.
"KIRA!"
….
I had a vision.
It was my brothers and I. The hosts were behind us and there was a flash of light. It felt like something was being taken from me. Something precious, but it was for a good cause. Their voices echoed and told me to wake up.
I opened my eyes to see an empty room but in the corner of my eye I saw someone. I turned my head and I saw Will asleep by the window, most likely recharging with the sun.
There was a knock at the door and Will woke up instantly unaware that I was awake and watching him.
Mr. Ootori walked in with a clipboard in the crook of his arm and Will closed the door behind him.
I closed my eyes to pretend that I was asleep and continue to listen to the conversation. "She's been out for the past 3 days, but other than that the toxin in her body is gone. I'm not sure how, but it's a miracle that she's alive. I had no idea that my best researchers, surgeon, and group of nurses were all along working under that blasted rouge had been working for me for years, and were waiting for her to come here. The fact that they all made it this far will make me be much more aware of who I higher from now on."
I opened my eyes and just as I did the door opened. "Excuse me father, Will, mother and Fuyumi wanted to visit and...She's awake."
Both men looked at me and I tried to recall the events that happened but I couldn't remember.
The whole room felt strange, and the three guests walked inside the room.
I recognized Kyoya's sister her and clearly she remembered me.
"You're the one who saved me!" She then looked to her mother and brother. "You're the one who saved me. The boy who saved me a long time ago, I..thank you so much!" She started to tear up as her father sharply called her out.
"Fuyumi, I will not let you make Ms. Alexander uncomfortable."
She straightened herself quickly as Will offered her his handkerchief and she took it gratefully then looked at me in shock.
"You're a woman? But...how?" She said with a gasp.
"Fuyumi!" Her father spoke again and she cringed. "I apologize, please excuse me. I just wanted to apologize once again." Without a second thought she left and I couldn't do anything.
"Yoshio, dear, that was a little excessive." A fair looking woman with her hair pulled to a bun said as she walked closer to me.
"I think all of them are old enough to know. You smothering them isn't helping them my dear wife." Mr. Ootori said with a glare to his glasses. I thought he was going to strike her but she smiled and looked at me with a curious face.
. 'I feel like I've seen her before but don't remember where.' I thought as she spoke.
"Sorry for the trouble we have brought you my dear. Just so you know, my son talks fondly of you Kira dear."
"Mother please." Kyoya said and as I looked towards him he avoided eye contact. He acted strange, and wasn't acting like himself.
"Please feel better soon my dear." She then touched my hand and I suddenly had another flashback.
In her arms was a baby tiger as dark as the night. She was crying and her husband looked stoic in the situation. "My son, it seems like you were chosen, but I won't make you wait for someone that might not come in this lifetime. I will tell you stories, but you will negate them. I won't make you suffer." She kissed her baby on the forehead and began to speak in the same tongue as my brothers.
"Seal him from his duty. When the Divine Guardian returns may he know of his duties, but until then, cage the beast, and when it is time for them to pass on the gift may them do so, and let the sequence repeat until they all return make me forget about my past, and this family about our curse, but if the guardian so happens to be alive, let me remember and offer what we can. "
She then turned into a tiger and blew a lavender colored light to her son and when she did she morphed back into a human. With a tiny sneeze the baby produced a large blinding purple light and then the vision was gone.
I looked at her and words came from my mouth.
"Ittuak pragmattah (Unbind the seal)." I said as her eyes lit up and my armlet glowed a lavender color.
Kyoya's mother transformed into a tiger and so did Kyoya as they roared, and Mr. Ootori stood paralyzed in fear. Will was quick to stand out the door ashe dealt with the drama outside.
"I'm finally here." I said to her as she shifted back into a human.
Her outfit consisted of a large beautiful kimono which was dark on the bottom and lightened a little to resemble the night sky and her hair was tied back into a half pony tail bun.
She looked at me with wide eyes as they filled with tears and she looked at Kyoya who seemed to struggle and was clearly frightened.
"Kyoya." She said and extended her hand towards her son. He froze and his chest rumbled and he too shifted back into a human. He did not have an intricate outfit like his mother he just shifted back into his normal clothing.
Mr. Ootori was silent and took everything in calmly as Kyoya spoke a little frightened thus making him laugh as he spoke.
"What just happened? Mother please explain this!"
She smiled as she looked towards me and took my hand. "You look just like your mother. Never...I'm sorry I lost faith in you...the royal family." A stray tear fell from her face and she took a deep breath.
"I am known here as Ootori Annaisha. But my real name is Mahett Annaisha first born, 6th descendant of the tiger guardian of Nymaane. Honorable champion, and lady of the Mahett Nation. Fought alongside my beloved Queen Akemi,while King Masun and the noble princes fought as well."
"Thank you. I…" I was interrupted as my brothers barged in the room out of breath. "Kira...we felt something…" My brothers looked to my left as they saw Kyoya's mother who was also surprised.
"The...princes…" She whispered and my brothers stood straight.
"Lady Mahett...it's been a long time." My brothers spoke as they looked at her with a smile.
"It's been too long my princes. For all of us." She spoke and looked at her son with a serious face.
"Kyoya, you have a lot to learn from them. All the knowledge that was given to you, you know the reason why you were chosen. Tell me Princess, who else has awaken?" She looked at me and I breathed in deeply.
"He is the first one of the guardians to be awakened Lady Mahett. Now we need to call the others and try to awaken them as well."
