Chapter 9: Entwined
After Sora had her moment with 'herself' she stood with the prowess of a man. She looked at both Chichiri and Tasuki and told them she was ok now. She sat herself up against a tree and Chichiri sat next to her and tapped her on the knee. Tasuki sat close by and put his arm around her shoulders. They all sat there a moment looking at the cadaver on the ground about 20 feet away from them. Sora closed her eyes and leaned her head against Chichiri. He gave her a pat on the head. She took a quick breather and she feel asleep along with her 'guys'.
As she slept she had the strangest dream! She was sitting with Kana's corpse. It sat next to her as if though it were alive and its' chest moved as if though it were breathing. It looked at her with sunken eyes and then rejuvenated back into its former self. She looked at Kana like she was looking into a mirror. She was very different. "Sora.it has been a long time since you have been in my body hasn't it?"
"Why are you talking to me.we are the same soul?"
"We are the same soul but we are different people. Listen closely. You must become what I am in order to get rid of Kurai. Do you understand?"
"No I don't! Do you mean I have to die? What do you mean!?" Kana placed her hand on Sora's.and the she woke up.
Sora jostled slightly and saw at her feet.Kana's corpse with her decrepit hand atop her own. Her eyes became wide and she began to breathe heavy as though she was having an asthma attack. Tasuki woke up with the sound of her breathing and saw the corpse at his feet. He yelled as he jumped up and kicked it away. Sora's normal tone of breath returned she got up and placed her hand on Tasuki's shoulder.
"I had a dream.that Kana spoke to me.and she did."
"What did she say?"
"I had to become what she is to get rid of Kurai."
"What did she."
"I don't know."
Chichiri stirred by their conversation.
"what happened no da?"
"Freaking corpse was making its' move on Sora." Tasuki snickered. Chichiri stared at the corpse with Sora. Sora tilted her head up and jerked to the side. On the ground where she stood was a land imprint from an energy blast of some sort.
"What the hell?" Tasuki muttered to himself. Sora looked confused.
"How did I dodge that?"
"Maybe that is also part of your power no da. I didn't sense it no da." Sora appeared frustrated and began towards the lake.
"I gotta find that bastard!" she yelled. She hopped back into the lake and began shifting her hand through the mud.
"He's in here somewhere.I know it!" Tasuki walked to the edge of the water and began yelling at her.
"What in the hell do you think your doing! You won't be able to find him! Sure you got lucky once."
"SHUT UP! He is in here somewhere.WAIT he was in the deep end!" Sora swam out and went under. Chichiri looked on with concern and Tasuki did as well.. trying to decide whether to jump in after her or stay on the.much less watery land.
Moments later Sora didn't come up. Just then though.in all coincidence.Kurai showed up. He fluttered his wings above the pond and reached his hands into the water and pulled out Sora. Tasuki grabbed his tessen.he couldn't use it without hitting Sora. Chichiri tried to send blasts from behind Kurai but he just blocked them with his wings.
Kurai looked at Sora and turned her face towards his. She spit on him.
"You bastard."
"Oh so you are more feisty in this life. I like it like that." He licked her cheek and she groaned in disgust. He leaned down close to her face and whispered to her. "I don't think your companions like me touching you.let us see how they like this." he held her rather roughly close and kisses her for a long moment. Sora struggled and whelped like a dog. Chichiri and Tasuki stood and watching in pain. Tasuki began to yell and scream at Kurai.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
"What are you gonna do about it?" Kurai laughed as he grabbed Sora's breast.
"I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Sora began to panic a little.but the waters began to churn. Kurai looked in suspicion.
"Little bitch.you are doing this.aren't you?"
"Go to hell." The waters splashed upward like hands and grabbed both Sora and her winged brother from the sky. Feathers surfaced. Kurai flew from the waters and disappeared within a second.
Both Chichiri and Tasuki jumped into the water and swam as fast as they could to where Sora had fallen. Tasuki got there first and put her on his back while Chichiri helped with her legs. As they got to land they noticed her back was swollen. They placed her down.barely coherent she mumbled. "He kissed.. but I never.this isn't..fair." Chichiri patted her on the shoulder and whisper to Tasuki "That was her first kiss no da.she must be terribly sad no da."
"Oh no."
Sora sighed a few times. "This really sucks." She tried to touch her back which was hurting her. "I wonder how I could have hurt myself there." Tasuki kneeled and touched her back. She winced in pain as a wound appeared.
"Sora.what happened."
"Hm? Oh that's odd.I didn't do anything..maybe I hit something when I hit the water."
"I'll kill that bastard.I swear." Tasuki hissed. "Well if I don't kill him first." Chichiri sat in front of Sora and handed her something to dry herself off. He looked at her with sad eyes.
"I'm sorry he kissed you no da."
"What could I do? I mean it isn't really my first kiss.wouldn't I have had to kiss him back?"
"If you see it that way no da."
"Ya know.I should have bit his lip off!" Sora laughed. Tasuki gave a slight chuckle but Chichiri just smiled. He knew this would bother Sora for some time.
"At least you used your powers again no da."
"Yeah. I think I got them figured out. I just get really pissed and it all just comes." She stared over at a rock bed and shouted at it. Rocks broke apart and flew into a few separate directions. Sora smiled at her achievement.although she deeply hurt inside.
