Hey Vmp here. This chapter very interesting. An old friend comes home and a large responsibility rests on Terra and Gohan's shoulders. What will they do? Oh and for those of you that asked if this series was ending ::Smiles evilly:: It's just beginning.
Chibi-Trunks stared at his sleeping cousin thoughtfully. She had fallen asleep at the dining room table not an uncommon sight. "T-Chan?" "I think she's out of it man," came Orlando's voice. "Yeah she looks beat Trunks," said Goten. Trunks nodded, "Better wake her though. If Dad finds her like this he said he's gonna pick her up and throw her in the pool for not getting enough sleep." He then continued to wak e his cousin from her deep slumber. Terra mumbled before her eyes fluttered open. "Trunks? What is it?" Trunks beamed happily it's Christmas T-Chan!" Terra couldn't help but smile, "Yes Trunks I know that……but why are you waking me up?" Goten came up beside his friend, "Cause…….you couldn't wake my dad up with out a cannon and Vegeta would destroy us." Terra flaughed slightly, "What about your dad Orlando?"
Orlando frowned, "Dada don't understand what Christmas is and besides………I've learned not to walk into a bed room that both my parents are in alone." Trunks burst into laughter, "Lando- Kun walked in on his parents!" Orlando gave him a glare. "Trunks! Hush…..People are still sleeping!" Terra whispered. Trunks looked uo at his cousin, "T-Chan can we please open out presents?!" "Yeah Can we!!!" Orlando and Goten said at the same time. "You can open the ones I gave you…..no one else's got me." Terra said as she arranged the papers on the table. "YATTA!!" Goten and Trunks yelled while they charged into the den. Terra watched as the stared in awe at the three swords lying under a large Christmas tree. Trunks picked his up and looked to Terra, "A-A-Arigato!!! Thanks T-Chan!!" Terra smiled as her cousin studied the blade carefully.
Suddenly……
The door bell rang. Terra looked atv her watch, it was 4:00 in the morning, "Who in there right mind is even awake?" Goten looked up, "we're up!" Terra smiled, "I said 'in their right mind' Ten-kun." Goten frowned and stuck his tounge out at Terra as she walked to the door. She flung it open, but when she saw who was behing it her heart stopped. The young boy was about her age with dark eyes and jet black hair. Next to him a girl the same age with a slightly rounder face and light blond hair. Her green eyes sparkled warmly when she saw Terra. Terra smiled, "Teona-chan!? Randy-kun!?" The young male cetra smiled at his old tijme friend, "It's good to see you too T-chan." Terra beamed not having seen them since she had been two years old. That when Terra heard the third voice, "I don't get a hello T-Chan?" Terra heart stopped, it wasn't possible she'd imagined it. But she looked anyway. Standing behind Randy was a young boy with light brown hair and peircing green mako eyes. His face a mirror image of hers. Rnady and Teona moved aside letting her get a full view of him. Tears welled up in Terra's mako blue eyes. She finally broke the silence, "T-T-Tommy?" The boy nodded, "It's been a long time eh Oneechan?" Terra couldn't hold back she threw her arms arounf his neck and sobbed against his chest. Her tears atracted the attention of her cousin and his friends who were now watching from the doorway confused. That's when Gohan also decided to appear. The second he saw the small emotional scene in front of him his hair crackled gold and his eyes flashed bright green.Terra sensing the sudden sky rocketing ki turned to see Gohan glaring murderously at Tommy. "Who the hell are you!?" he snapped. Tommy looked up with a smirk, "Gee it's good to see you too Gohan……..But aren't just getting a wee bit protective of my sister?" Gohan nearly fell over in shock, "S-S-Sister! Tommy!?" Tom couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry I'm not stealing your girlfriend." Terra glared at him, "How did you know that?!" Tommy smiled, "I have my ways Oneechan."
A half an hour later…..
It had been a tearful reunion. It was only until then that Terra noticed her Unlce Reeve standing in the door way holding a small bundle. Terra walked to him, "Hey Uncle Reeve what's up?" Reeve smiled, but it was a grim smile telling Terra something was wrong. He sighed, "I really don't know ow to start…….perhapes an apology." Terra felt a sickening feeling sweep over her, "Why?" Reeve looked into her eyes, "Terra I know this is a lot to ask of you but……. Well first let me start at the beginning. I know you know hoa Randy and Teona were created. Well……Sephiroth had another child created and well," he said lifting a smallpeice of blanket from the bundle's frony revealing a small new born, "………..she's yours." Terra looked in shock at the small sleeping child. It was like looking at herself when she was an infant. The same hair and face. Sub consciously Terra ran a finger along her tiny face causing her to awaken. The baby's eyes also were identical to her own. The infant whimpered as she took in her new surroundings. Terra took her in her arms and held her gently yet tightly enough for her to feel secure. The child stopped whimpering and looked Terra right in the eye. She lifted a small and chubby hand and ran it across her face. Then she let out a high pitched giggle. Terra laughed slightly herself and then her face reverted into a serious expression looked to Reeve, "Who's the father Reeve?" Reeve, face still grim, replied, "Gohan is." Terra nodded as if she knew it. Then the infant began to wail in hunger. Terra cuddled her close whispering to her in a combonation of English, Japanese, and Sayaingo. The crying continued attracted the entire groups attention. Tommy stepped forward and took abottle out of his back pack and tried to get the shild to take it but she whipped her head away and continued to wail. Reeve looked at Terra, "She won't eat." Terra sighed and took the bottle. She stroked her hair back and murmered to her lovingly and managed to cox her to open her mouth. The infant began to feed while grabbing a handful of her mother's shirt. Terra smiled a tear running down her face.
Gohan stepped and looked down at the child, then to Terra, and finally to Reeve. It didn't take long for the news to travel through the entire room. Terra meanwhile sat there ignoring the whispering, the stares, the comments, she just sat there holding her close. She especially ignored the dagger like glare from Chichi, who probably blamed her for the entire incident. Gohan sat next to them and tickled the small child making her giggle happily. Cathreine and Dende watched with smiles as Terra and Gohan bonded with their only child. Terra smiled as she lifted her tiny arms to Gohan. She needs a name. he said telepathically. Terra nodded, "I know. I thought of a name but I don't know if you'd like it." Gohan looked to her waiting to hear the name. Terra looked up and whispered, "Kitonya." Gohan smiled and put an arm around her, "I love it."
Later that night….
"AERIS YOU CANT EXPECT HER TO TAKE CARE OF A CHILD!!"
"Chichi please, it's late lower your voice!"
"Hush Goku!"
"Chichi you are not being fair………how do you know she can't care for Kitonya myabe if we gave her a chance?"
"Cloud stop living in a dream world! The child needs therapy and so do you two for thinking she could handle this! When are you going to realize that your duaghter is not only emotionally disturbed but left half of her sanity back when she was 2!?"
"CHICHI THAT IS ENOUGH!"
Meanwhile outside the door, (not to the adults' knowledge) Terra stood outside the door clutching Kitonya to her chest protectively.
"The only reason you hate Terra so much is because she is teaching Gohan how to become his own person instead of following you around like a lost puppy! You're just jealous because Gohan's learning how to love someone else except you and Goku…."
"They're too young to know what love is!"
"How do you know that!"
"For God's sake Aeris she's my grnaddaughter too. I just want what's best for her. You know what would be best."
Aeris eyes clouded, "I know…….." Cloud shook his head his eyes desperate, "Aeris you can't do that to her!" Aeris looked to him, "Cloud…….she has to put Kitonya up for adoption………Sephiroth could come back…….he could…….." "NO!!!" a voice yelled from behind the door. Aeris ran outside into the hall way just in time to see her youngest child run down the hall sobbing. "T-CHAN! SWEETIE PLEASE STOP!" "NO YOU CANT TAKE HER FROM ME!!!! NOT NOW!!! NOT EVER!!!" Terra ran ouyt of the house screaming.
The rain pelted Terra face viciously. Kitonya wailed against her chest miserably. She rokced the young child back and forth trying to get her to stop, "I won't let them take you Kitty I promise." A EVIL GRIM LAUGH CAME FROM BEHIND, "How sweet……..Isn't that cute my best future warrior and her mother." Terra whirled on her heels to face the montrosity she'd come to hate. Sephiroth grinned at her insanely. Terra growled in rage but was istantly silenced by a whimper co ing from the small bundle she held. Her Sayain instincts told her to stay and fight…….but she couldn't risk Kitonya…..not now. Not ever.
So she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. The rain pelted her eyes feriously she could hear him chasing after her his digusting laugh mixing with the roaring thunder. Terra continued to run getting as far a head of him as hse could. She came to a tree with a small hole…….but it was only big enough for either her or Kitonya…….not both. Terra shoved Kitonya in gently without a second thought. The child wailed unhappily because of this and reached to Terra whimpering. "Hush chibi one. I promise I won't let any harm come to you." The whimering ceased and Terra nodded before running back towards him………she was tired of running form him……she would face her greatest fear. Terra ran straight at him and dived towards his legs tackling him. His sword flew from his grasp and stuck up straight into the dirt as it slowly turned into mud. "NO!" she screamed as he struggled to reach it. He turned his eyes glaring murderously at the child. He lifted his hand and slapped her away into a tree. Terra shook her head and with a yell of anger she emitted a bright flash. When the flash faded she stood there dressed in a 1st class SOLDIER uniform the ultima sword at her side. Sephiroth recheived his sword from the mud and turned to her, his eyes dark and insane. This was the moment she had been preparing herself for entire life……..wasn't it. Terra knew in her heart if she won this battle it would only be exactly that………a battle. In long runit wouldn't matter…..it was who that won the war would be the victor. These words were all that scrolled through her young mind….
The heat of the battle,
The taste of defeat.
I close my eyes,
Seeking refuge from the world.
But what I see
Is the dark angel that lives inside of me.
Its Emerald green eyes burning for eternity.
My heart, My soul
The only key,
To rid the evil that lives inside of me.
I open my eyes,
To find myself back in Hell.
Shall I live? Shall I die?
Only God can tell.
The same green eyes stare back at me.
Watching my every move.
Then he growls,
"What have you got to prove?
Why do you fight?
Why do you refuse,
To see the light?
You'll never win.
You'll always lose.
So again I ask ,
What do you have to prove?"
His words echo in my mind,
And once again I feel I'm blind.
My brain tell me to run to flee.
But there is a burning passion inside of me.
My heart. My soul.
They tell me to stay.
To fight. To live.
To give all I have to give.
I close my eyes.
The green eyes have disappeared.
I now look at what I have always feared.
My eyes now burning bright.
The world, once dark,
Now is light.
I hold my head high,
And say with my eyes burning so bright,
"I will not run!
I will always fight!"
Gohan ran through the wood the rain stinging his eyes…..but he didn't give a damn. He hated his mother fr what she'd done…..he hated both of their parents for this. The four of them they just couldn't understand how he and Terra felt! He ran past a tree feeling for his mate's ki. A whimpering stppoed him from growing any further. He looked in a small hole to find his daughter. She was cold, wet, and frightened. He removed her from her hiding spot, "Kitty-Chan! Poor thing…….Kitty where's your mother chibi one?" Kitonya only answered with a whimper. A battle cry brought him back to reality. He placed her back into the hole, "I'll be back Chibi-Kit……I promise. Then Gohan ran to where he could hear the sound of the battle.
Terra felt burning pain spread through out her body as he plunged his sword into her raw and mangled shoulder yet again. She refused to cry out and instead brought her knee up to his gut. He gasped for air givinf her the chance she needed. She plinged her sword intohis shoulder just barely missing his chest where his black heart beated. He knocked her away with the broad side of his sword and prepared to plunge it straight through her heart.
"NOOOOO!" Sephiroth let out a blood curdling wail of pain. He whipped around to reveal Gohan with his sword Piccolo had given him plunged right into his spine. He slapped Gohan away causing him to fall next to Terra. Sephiroth lifted his head to look at the young couple. He let out a long and insane luagh. "I might die tonight Strife……but I'll be back…..and…….I'M TAKING YOUR CHILD WITH ME!" And with his final last once of strength he threw his sword at the tree where Kitonya hid. "NO!" Terra wailed as the sword sailed to the tree. "SHUKON IDOU!!!" Terra yelled teleporting herself in front of it. The sword cut through her stomach mercilessly. Sephiroth fell to the ground dead. Terra fell against the tree her eyes closed in unbelievable pain everything was slurred. "T-T-TER-ER-TER-A!" Gohan's voice seemed to echo. Terra sank to the ground and then everything was black.
When Terra awoke she was immediately aware that she was moving. She looked at her suroundings realizing she was in the back of their truck. She sighed, she knew this meant the Shinra had found them. Rhen she saw something different. The Son's and the Daimino's stuff was packed along with theirs. "They're coming with us……" she whispered. A small giggle interupted her thoughts. Terra looked to her right to see Gohan sleeping in a chair with Kitonya grinning at her uin his arms. Terra smiled and picked her child up from his embrace. She cooed and settle into Terra's arms. Terra began to sing to her softly, "I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky I'll be there. I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there. Through better or worse till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart. I swear." Tewrra sighed and sat back on her cot. She looked at her watch to see that she'd been out for several days. She sighed and leaned against the wall of the truck wincing slightly at the pain it cause her bandaged stomach. She then walked to where her box of belongings lay. She opened it up and pulled out a book and pen. On the cover two swords were carved and the words: The more we prepare during peaceful times…
The less we bleed in battle were also scrawled across it. It was her diary. She opened it, looked to Kitonya who had by now fallen asleep against her and then began to write…
Tiny blue eyes,
Stare me through.
Tiny blue eyes,
So much like mine,
The same color and hew.
A face like mine,
So tiny and fragile.
Framed by hair so fine.
A maternal feeling of warmth,
Spreads over me.
This infant is mine,
It's so plain to see.
My love for her,
So pure and strong.
Her giggle, her coo, and even her cries,
All seem to be beautiful lullabies.
Who cannot love this beautiful child?
Her giggle her laugh,
Her tiny precious face.
This child will grow up in my grace.
I will love her, teach her, and give her a name.
One that will suit her and compliment her the same.
I have a name,
Better than any by far.
Her name is Kitonya,
Which means in my native tongue
My Precious Star.
