Chapter Three
She listened to him go on about how they needed each other, and how the others needed her. The trust they had gained over the few months they had known each other were something they had bonded for life. Nothing could change that. Nothing.
You can change everything, Korosu.
Her eyes averted to his face as he still held her, watching her. His body was warm and the only comfort that she held in this dark place. She wanted to tell him that she couldn't, but she wanted to, so she spoke for the first time in this new place.
How? How can I change? She asked him, her body, mind and soul now gaining back the consciousness she had been once before.
You can start over again. Start a new life, with us. With me.
He replied to her question as she turned around and bore him down with her eyes. He smiled at her as he pulled her close and hugged her, taking off his shirt and putting it on her. She smiled to him, pushing herself forward and touching his lips to hers.
"Finally, it's mine!" Yokoshima yelled, his laughter ringing in their ears.
"HEY! UGLY DEMON GUY! OVER HERE!" Okashi yelled. She screamed at him as she made faces and called him stupid names from across the lake. She did this until his patience ran out and he could no longer take it. His energy was diverted to her when Mujaki knocked the crystal from his hand and gained enough power to knock him back. Okashi smiled as she disappeared in the shadows of the forest. Mujaki followed soon after wards.
"Do you really think this is going to work?" Okashi asked, whispering as Mujaki came up behind her. The blue haired girl nodded as she jumped up to a branch above her, same as the green haired one.
"I do not have the time to mess with you two!" they could hear Yokoshima yell. He was in a fit of rage when Mujaki and Okashi showed themselves, swords drawn and ready for action.
They began to advance towards him, his magic creating a red light in the palm of his hand. He reached his hand out and let it go, pushing it towards the two girls. It raced to them, cutting them in half as they disappeared.
Shadows.
Mujaki and Okashi yelled in rage as they came up behind the black cloaked figure, forcing him forward as they fought with all the magic they possessed. Mujaki's sword came out quickly with the flick of her hand as she moved to his hood, cutting just a small piece of his shoulder before he moved away. Okashi's magic flared from the water as she pushed it forward and it hit it square in the chest. He fell backwards, the crystal still in Mujaki's hands. They disappeared into the trees again, waiting for his next move.
"He won't fall for that again…" Mujaki said, trying to gain her breath. Okashi nodded in response to her comment, holding her chest to try to get her heart to stop beating so fast.
"Come out! I want that crystal!" Yokoshima yelled. His anger was rising, and they could feel it. Okashi moved then, moving enough so that he could see her from the corners of his eyes. He smiled gleefully, using silent magic and pushed it towards them. Mujaki felt this; pushing Okashi out of the way just before it hit her and would have killed her. They fell to the ground, open now to the enemy. He laughed at them, reaching out his hand as red energy began to come to his hand.
He let the light go then, let it go free from his grasp. It raced for the two young girls still on the ground. They didn't have enough time to move, not even to think. They watched in horror as the magic flared in there faces, a brilliant light that was destined for them alone, and no one else. They both closed their eyes, waiting for the small deaths that had been summoned.
Nothing. Mujaki looked up to see demons surrounding them, protecting them in front and in the back of them. The same demons that Korosu commanded, the same mark on their heads. The demons screamed in anger and rage, pushing the magic another way and watching Yokoshima gasp as he stepped back from the on coming horde of demons.
"But…you can't!" he yelled at them as they screamed, horrified. He stepped back further, watching as the demons rose and fell with each step, watching their eyes, his eyes. Bright light began to flare from inside the vines and Milliardo awoke once again. He stood up, covering his face from the light that surrounded them. Yokoshima stood his ground, not even bothering to look away from the appearing figure from the middle of all the diversion. The demons stopped screaming, beginning to retreat to the master they had known for so long.
"You still don't understand do you, Yokoshima." Korosu whispered to him, smiling.
"You bitch! I'll kill you!" he screamed.
The earth began to shake as his anger was risen, his hands reached towards the sky. Korosu stood her ground, gathering her energy in response to his. His magic was formed then, taking the shape of a gigantic ball, electricity sparking from inside and out. It raced towards Korosu as she let her own magic out, a brilliant shield protecting those behind her. Mujaki and Okashi watched her, they saw her face grimace in pain as she was cut on her side and blood began to run down her skirt. She screamed in anger, forcing his magic back, using her own body to protect the earth.
"You used me, just like I used them. Well know you're going to see what it feels like to get hurt, to feel pain!" Korosu yelled at him after she had warded off the magic he had pushed at her. He pulled back, the water beneath him racing back as the force pushed it down and up making gigantic waves that could have covered him if it wasn't for his own magic protecting him.
Korosu looked back at Mujaki and Okashi, smiling and waving a little before whipping out her sword. She ran forward, the cloaked figure using his own sword to fight with her. The earth would rumble sometimes, pushing the earth down and creating gigantic craters.
"You can't win, child." Yokoshima yelled at her after they had just finished using magic against each other.
"You still don't understand, do you?!" Korosu yelled back, blood running down her face and her arm bloodied and sore.
"I understand that you want to kill me. Hurt me in ways that I hurt you. But you already know…you already know that you can't win…"
Korosu looked to the ground; the blood that was escaping from her head began to soak into her hair, running in streams along the black that lay there. She knew it, and he knew it as well. It didn't matter how strong she was, she couldn't beat him. Not alone, any ways.
She smiled then, to herself at to him. She laughed at the same time, thinking of what a stupid idiot she had been. She had seen it in his eyes once, that he would do this. But she decided not to think about it, to put it in the back of her mind and forget it ever happened. He had been a good teacher, and he had saved her, at least that's what she thought.
Korosu disappeared suddenly, reappearing behind him. He turned to slowly as she threw a large blue disc at him, hitting him square in the chest and pushing him to the ground. She moved to his side and picked him up quickly and punched him in the face and the stomach, forcing him back further and further. She disappeared once again, taking Mujaki and Okashi with her into the forest so that he would have to find them while she conversed a plan with them.
"What they hell do you think that your doing!?" Okashi yelled at Korosu, slapping her across the face. Korosu let her, watching her eyes move to hers.
"Do you want to kill him?"
"What?" Mujaki asked, whispering in a tremble of silence.
"Do you want to kill him?" Korosu repeated herself, her eyes soft and delicate.
They both nodded, their faces gone hard and rough, ready for anything.
"Alright then. We are going to have to use all our strength, and you guys are going to have to use your spirits to help me."
"How do you know about that?" Okashi asked, sitting down on the grass, her green hair running along the think lines of dark green.
"I feel it and see it in your eyes."
"Oh really? Then what is my spirit?" Okashi asked, her voice expressing anger.
"Yours is the spiral unicorn, and Mujaki's is the crescent serpent."
Both looked at her in astonishment. Korosu smiled at them, trying to regain their trust for just that moment. She knew it would take a long time, beckoning their trust and their hearts was going to take a long time to do.
"And, what is yours? If you even have one. . . " Mujaki said sarcastically.
"Mine is the star dragon."
They went quiet then, listening to Yokoshima yell profanities at them while throwing magic every where he thought they were. He missed every single time, but the earth moved every time that he used this powerful magic.
"We can combine our powers together, use the spirits that are contained in our bodies and use it to defeat him. If we can put all our strength into this talisman, we can destroy him and the other six talismans that he holds."
"And how the hell do we manage that?" Mujaki asked, leaning forward and listening with content.
"We'll have to create a diversion so that we can gather enough energy. Then we stand in a circle, and concentrate all our energy on this one talisman that will be placed in the middle of all of us. I can use an ancient language to divert all our energy into the crystal, and then we can use it against him, and he wont even know what hit him." Korosu finished, looking back at Yokoshima through the trees.
"And how do we know that once you've done this you won't just get up and leave?" Okashi asked, her voice cracky. She didn't even to bother to look at Korosu when she answered.
"I know that I have betrayed all the friendship that I have gained from you, and the trust. But, you really don't have much of a choice. If you don't do this, every one in this galaxy and the universe will be under his command, or they will be destroyed. Either or is fine with me, but I would rather not have to serve under him for the rest of my life."
" I say that we do it!" Mujaki said, almost too loud.
She looked at Korosu with her purple eyes and smiled delightfully, as Okashi got up and they joined together for the first time.
"What did you do?" Duo asked as he helped Milliardo stand on his own two feet.
"I'm not quiet sure. After she was put in those vines all I remember was fainting and seeing her in total darkness, just floating there."
"What happened?" Heero asked, on the other side of Milliardo.
The blonde haired man nodded his head, telling them that it really wasn't any of there business to know in the first place, but he thanked them for there concern. They watched the cloaked man go into a fit of rage trying to find the three girls that had been hiding in the forest.
They all saw them then, the shadows of the ones they had fallen in love with. Yokoshima screamed and raced towards them, his hands ready to rip them into pieces. Korosu was first, as she exploded into a fury of light, the others behind her as well. Yokoshima covered his face, noticing for the first time that they were shadows, once again. They had tricked him, tricked him in his own game. Then a brilliant blue light from the forest exploded as he turned around to see the three girls.
Heero was the first to see them, standing in a circle, holding each others wrists and concentrating on something small in the middle. It floated softly in the middle of them, hovering in between them. Their hair was blowing then, their skirts flying up and down as the energy being formed between them began to form. That's when they saw the others. The spirits.
Duo watched in awe as a Unicorn appeared behind Okashi, a serpent behind Mujaki, and a dragon behind Korosu. They gasped as different colors of light began to escape into the atmosphere, warm and caressing. Milliardo smiled at them, watching each one loose their energy but also gain it in a certain way.
The crystal between them began to glow a bright light, unlike any of them had ever seen. They could hear Yokoshima scream in anger, feeling their energy rise with the crystals help. His magic began to flare as each girl opened her eyes with a strong determination. They smiled at each other, forming out of the circle as Korosu took the crystal and held it out in front of her.
"Winds of Fire,
Winds of Earth,
Winds of Sea and Light,
Gather together,
The ancient ones,
Bring about,
Past, present and future!"
Korosu held it in midair between her palms, Mujaki and Okashi helping the black haired girl by using their own energy. They each smiled to each other once again, laughing a little. The crystal glowed once again, this time engulfing each girl, taking it into its depths. Yokoshima screamed as he disappeared in the light, six crystals being destroyed as he was. Heero, Duo and Milliardo cheered the three girls on, but they were no were in sight.
"Where are we?" Mujaki said, her voice echoing through the nothingness that lay around her. Their bodies lay cold and bare, naked in front of the other. They floated upside down in the blackness, listening for any sign they might hear.
"What happened?" Okashi asked, covering her breasts with her right arm. She looked over to see Korosu covering her own body as well, blood still covering most of it.
-You are inside of me.
Korosu looked at Mujaki and then to Okashi, seeing that they too had heard that deep caressing voice.
"Who are you?" Korosu asked, her eyes trying to search for something that might give him away.
-You are inside of me.
Mujaki clenched as cold air blew past her; she hugged herself even closer from the cold air.
"Where. . . inside…of you?" Korosu asked quickly, excitement and fear in her voice all at the same time.
-Thank you.
"For what?" Okashi asked, looking around her and to the other girls.
-You have set me free. Thank you.
"What?" Mujaki asked.
-Good bye.
"Wait!" Korosu screamed out, trying to reach for whatever and who ever he might be. With that, the black ness disappeared and they looked up to see the three men looking down at them, their shirts off. Korosu was awaken first, her eyes flickering open to see his face hovering over hers. He smiled to her when she woke up, kissing her on the forehead. She looked around to see Duo and Heero smile softly at her, and then noticed that they each at their shirts off. Her hair blew in her face as her body shivered, noticing for the first time that she was still naked.
Okashi and Mujaki woke soon afterwards, smiling at the ones that had given them warmth.
"I'm. . . sorry." Korosu said, hugging herself as she lay naked and bare.
"Don't worry about it! Of course, were not going to be able to trust you for a while, but that's alright!" Okashi said, slapping her on the back.
"Yeah, its cool." Mujaki replied, smiling to her. Korosu cried then, the first time in 2000 years. She laughed at herself, as Milliardo picked her up in his arms and began to take her to his apartment. Duo was the next to leave with Okashi in his arms, Heero and Mujaki sitting on the nearest bench they could find so that she could rest for a few moments.
"You sure you're alright?" Heero asked her as she sat next to him, her shirt over her fragile body. She nodded to him, kissing him on the cheek.
He leaned down; touching her lips with his, feeling again the warmth that he felt there. He couldn't pull away easily, knowing that he might not be able to have her forever, that one day she might leave him. She pulled away, telling him that the bench wasn't the place. He smiled at her, his arm around her waist. They sat like that for a while before regaining their strength and going to his apartment.
"Thank you, for everything." Korosu said as she sat down near Milliardo in front of the fireplace. She had his pants on as well as a shirt, too big for her small body. He smiled at her, laughing at how big the shirt and pants were on her.
"No problem."
"May I ask you a question?" Milliardo said after they were silent for about a half an hour.
"Yeah, why not…"
"Are you really going to start over?"
She looked at him then, his body and his eyes. Her blood raced as she looked at him, her eyes blurry now, her eyesight being lost to her. She felt his arms come to her, pull her close to him. She could feel his chest rise and fall; his muscles tighten with every breath.
"If you did start over, would you mind starting over with me?" His voice was deep and caressing, almost like a harp. Korosu smiled and laughed while her head was still against his chest, as she sighed and pulled away. She leaned forward and kissed him, her lips and his touching for the second time. This time with passion and love, heat and fire.
"Yes, I would love to start my life over with you." Korosu replied, whispering in his ear as he began to unbutton her shirt.
He took her to the bed then, buttons becoming unbuttoned, pants being taken off and their bodies nude and bare. Milliardo couldn't help but look at her, watch her move to his side, listen to her sighs. He kissed her neck, memorizing her body and her taste. He stopped once, to look at the groove between her breasts and the necklace that lay there.
"It was my fathers." She said, before pulling his head towards hers and kissing him. He opened his mouth, inviting her to taste what his felt like. She took it without thought and recognition, tasting for the first time what true love really meant.
"Okashi, I've known you for three long years." Duo said, setting her down on the bed and kissing her on the lips.
He looked down at her naked body, the way it curved here and there. Seeing it made his heart race as his hand reached her waist and held it there.
"I love you, Okashi. I love you so much, you still have no idea how much I love you."
"Yes, I do. Duo"
His lips brushed hers then, his hand feeling her body. She sighed when he touched her, feeling for any new sign that he might have. She let herself be his; she let him kiss her. Her green hair lay across the bed when he made love to her again. It was passionate, love and caring at the same time. He could barely contain himself any more. She smiled at him as she watched him sleep after he was finished with her. She would stroke his hair and tell him how much she loved him, telling that she did now how much he loved her. She feel asleep in his arms when the clouds revealed the moon as it caressed its mother below.
"NOO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!" Okashi screamed, her report card in hand. Her hair was in her normal bun, messed up and out of shape.
"Flunked again, Okashi?" Korosu asked, her college uniform blowing in the wind as she sat down near the tree that Okashi stood by.
"It's about time that school got out…" Mujaki said as she walked up to them, holding Heero's hand. He smiled at them before Duo and Milliardo made there way up to them as well.
"Hey what's up you guys!!" Duo screamed from across the courtyard, running up to Okashi. They hugged each other and pecked each other on the cheek before they both sat down next to Korosu, Milliardo reserving a spot next to her. He looked down and smiled at her, watching her eyes move to his. She smiled back to him, a reflection in the making. Okashi and Duo smiled at the two know, seeing for the first time the love in each other's eyes. He kissed her cheek passionately before putting his hand over hers.
Epilogue
"She sleeps so soundly." Yokoshima said to his servant that stood next to him. He watched the little girl that he found all alone sleep restlessly on his bed, her breathing quick and silent. He smiled at her, his face young and adventurous.
"Did you get her name, King?" The young woman asked, her long brown hair and dark brown eyes looked at the purple haired boy. His eyes were dark green, seeing through all. His pale face showed nothing of emotion, but his smile was worth a thousand lives.
"Her name is Korosu." He replied to her. She smiled back, looking back at the small girl that lay on his covers atop his bed.
"Where did you find her?"
"In the town near the Dark forest. Her town had been burned and she couldn't stop crying." He replied to his servant, watching the girl once again. He smiled to her as she slept, brushing her long hair past her face. He kissed her on the cheek before getting up and leaving the room. His servant waited for him, her body small and fragile.
"She will destroy me one day." He looked at her. Her eyes grew wide as she gasped in horror.
"But. . . "
"She will." He stopped her from saying anything more before smiling. He looked back at the closed door before heading to the closest courtiers that he found.
She will destroy me, with not only herself, but with two beautiful young women. He fell asleep dreaming of what he would become and the three young girls that gave him beautiful dreams.
The End
Chapter Three
She listened to him go on about how they needed each other, and how the others needed her. The trust they had gained over the few months they had known each other were something they had bonded for life. Nothing could change that. Nothing.
You can change everything, Korosu.
Her eyes averted to his face as he still held her, watching her. His body was warm and the only comfort that she held in this dark place. She wanted to tell him that she couldn't, but she wanted to, so she spoke for the first time in this new place.
How? How can I change? She asked him, her body, mind and soul now gaining back the consciousness she had been once before.
You can start over again. Start a new life, with us. With me.
He replied to her question as she turned around and bore him down with her eyes. He smiled at her as he pulled her close and hugged her, taking off his shirt and putting it on her. She smiled to him, pushing herself forward and touching his lips to hers.
"Finally, it's mine!" Yokoshima yelled, his laughter ringing in their ears.
"HEY! UGLY DEMON GUY! OVER HERE!" Okashi yelled. She screamed at him as she made faces and called him stupid names from across the lake. She did this until his patience ran out and he could no longer take it. His energy was diverted to her when Mujaki knocked the crystal from his hand and gained enough power to knock him back. Okashi smiled as she disappeared in the shadows of the forest. Mujaki followed soon after wards.
"Do you really think this is going to work?" Okashi asked, whispering as Mujaki came up behind her. The blue haired girl nodded as she jumped up to a branch above her, same as the green haired one.
"I do not have the time to mess with you two!" they could hear Yokoshima yell. He was in a fit of rage when Mujaki and Okashi showed themselves, swords drawn and ready for action.
They began to advance towards him, his magic creating a red light in the palm of his hand. He reached his hand out and let it go, pushing it towards the two girls. It raced to them, cutting them in half as they disappeared.
Shadows.
Mujaki and Okashi yelled in rage as they came up behind the black cloaked figure, forcing him forward as they fought with all the magic they possessed. Mujaki's sword came out quickly with the flick of her hand as she moved to his hood, cutting just a small piece of his shoulder before he moved away. Okashi's magic flared from the water as she pushed it forward and it hit it square in the chest. He fell backwards, the crystal still in Mujaki's hands. They disappeared into the trees again, waiting for his next move.
"He won't fall for that again…" Mujaki said, trying to gain her breath. Okashi nodded in response to her comment, holding her chest to try to get her heart to stop beating so fast.
"Come out! I want that crystal!" Yokoshima yelled. His anger was rising, and they could feel it. Okashi moved then, moving enough so that he could see her from the corners of his eyes. He smiled gleefully, using silent magic and pushed it towards them. Mujaki felt this; pushing Okashi out of the way just before it hit her and would have killed her. They fell to the ground, open now to the enemy. He laughed at them, reaching out his hand as red energy began to come to his hand.
He let the light go then, let it go free from his grasp. It raced for the two young girls still on the ground. They didn't have enough time to move, not even to think. They watched in horror as the magic flared in there faces, a brilliant light that was destined for them alone, and no one else. They both closed their eyes, waiting for the small deaths that had been summoned.
Nothing. Mujaki looked up to see demons surrounding them, protecting them in front and in the back of them. The same demons that Korosu commanded, the same mark on their heads. The demons screamed in anger and rage, pushing the magic another way and watching Yokoshima gasp as he stepped back from the on coming horde of demons.
"But…you can't!" he yelled at them as they screamed, horrified. He stepped back further, watching as the demons rose and fell with each step, watching their eyes, his eyes. Bright light began to flare from inside the vines and Milliardo awoke once again. He stood up, covering his face from the light that surrounded them. Yokoshima stood his ground, not even bothering to look away from the appearing figure from the middle of all the diversion. The demons stopped screaming, beginning to retreat to the master they had known for so long.
"You still don't understand do you, Yokoshima." Korosu whispered to him, smiling.
"You bitch! I'll kill you!" he screamed.
The earth began to shake as his anger was risen, his hands reached towards the sky. Korosu stood her ground, gathering her energy in response to his. His magic was formed then, taking the shape of a gigantic ball, electricity sparking from inside and out. It raced towards Korosu as she let her own magic out, a brilliant shield protecting those behind her. Mujaki and Okashi watched her, they saw her face grimace in pain as she was cut on her side and blood began to run down her skirt. She screamed in anger, forcing his magic back, using her own body to protect the earth.
"You used me, just like I used them. Well know you're going to see what it feels like to get hurt, to feel pain!" Korosu yelled at him after she had warded off the magic he had pushed at her. He pulled back, the water beneath him racing back as the force pushed it down and up making gigantic waves that could have covered him if it wasn't for his own magic protecting him.
Korosu looked back at Mujaki and Okashi, smiling and waving a little before whipping out her sword. She ran forward, the cloaked figure using his own sword to fight with her. The earth would rumble sometimes, pushing the earth down and creating gigantic craters.
"You can't win, child." Yokoshima yelled at her after they had just finished using magic against each other.
"You still don't understand, do you?!" Korosu yelled back, blood running down her face and her arm bloodied and sore.
"I understand that you want to kill me. Hurt me in ways that I hurt you. But you already know…you already know that you can't win…"
Korosu looked to the ground; the blood that was escaping from her head began to soak into her hair, running in streams along the black that lay there. She knew it, and he knew it as well. It didn't matter how strong she was, she couldn't beat him. Not alone, any ways.
She smiled then, to herself at to him. She laughed at the same time, thinking of what a stupid idiot she had been. She had seen it in his eyes once, that he would do this. But she decided not to think about it, to put it in the back of her mind and forget it ever happened. He had been a good teacher, and he had saved her, at least that's what she thought.
Korosu disappeared suddenly, reappearing behind him. He turned to slowly as she threw a large blue disc at him, hitting him square in the chest and pushing him to the ground. She moved to his side and picked him up quickly and punched him in the face and the stomach, forcing him back further and further. She disappeared once again, taking Mujaki and Okashi with her into the forest so that he would have to find them while she conversed a plan with them.
"What they hell do you think that your doing!?" Okashi yelled at Korosu, slapping her across the face. Korosu let her, watching her eyes move to hers.
"Do you want to kill him?"
"What?" Mujaki asked, whispering in a tremble of silence.
"Do you want to kill him?" Korosu repeated herself, her eyes soft and delicate.
They both nodded, their faces gone hard and rough, ready for anything.
"Alright then. We are going to have to use all our strength, and you guys are going to have to use your spirits to help me."
"How do you know about that?" Okashi asked, sitting down on the grass, her green hair running along the think lines of dark green.
"I feel it and see it in your eyes."
"Oh really? Then what is my spirit?" Okashi asked, her voice expressing anger.
"Yours is the spiral unicorn, and Mujaki's is the crescent serpent."
Both looked at her in astonishment. Korosu smiled at them, trying to regain their trust for just that moment. She knew it would take a long time, beckoning their trust and their hearts was going to take a long time to do.
"And, what is yours? If you even have one. . . " Mujaki said sarcastically.
"Mine is the star dragon."
They went quiet then, listening to Yokoshima yell profanities at them while throwing magic every where he thought they were. He missed every single time, but the earth moved every time that he used this powerful magic.
"We can combine our powers together, use the spirits that are contained in our bodies and use it to defeat him. If we can put all our strength into this talisman, we can destroy him and the other six talismans that he holds."
"And how the hell do we manage that?" Mujaki asked, leaning forward and listening with content.
"We'll have to create a diversion so that we can gather enough energy. Then we stand in a circle, and concentrate all our energy on this one talisman that will be placed in the middle of all of us. I can use an ancient language to divert all our energy into the crystal, and then we can use it against him, and he wont even know what hit him." Korosu finished, looking back at Yokoshima through the trees.
"And how do we know that once you've done this you won't just get up and leave?" Okashi asked, her voice cracky. She didn't even to bother to look at Korosu when she answered.
"I know that I have betrayed all the friendship that I have gained from you, and the trust. But, you really don't have much of a choice. If you don't do this, every one in this galaxy and the universe will be under his command, or they will be destroyed. Either or is fine with me, but I would rather not have to serve under him for the rest of my life."
" I say that we do it!" Mujaki said, almost too loud.
She looked at Korosu with her purple eyes and smiled delightfully, as Okashi got up and they joined together for the first time.
"What did you do?" Duo asked as he helped Milliardo stand on his own two feet.
"I'm not quiet sure. After she was put in those vines all I remember was fainting and seeing her in total darkness, just floating there."
"What happened?" Heero asked, on the other side of Milliardo.
The blonde haired man nodded his head, telling them that it really wasn't any of there business to know in the first place, but he thanked them for there concern. They watched the cloaked man go into a fit of rage trying to find the three girls that had been hiding in the forest.
They all saw them then, the shadows of the ones they had fallen in love with. Yokoshima screamed and raced towards them, his hands ready to rip them into pieces. Korosu was first, as she exploded into a fury of light, the others behind her as well. Yokoshima covered his face, noticing for the first time that they were shadows, once again. They had tricked him, tricked him in his own game. Then a brilliant blue light from the forest exploded as he turned around to see the three girls.
Heero was the first to see them, standing in a circle, holding each others wrists and concentrating on something small in the middle. It floated softly in the middle of them, hovering in between them. Their hair was blowing then, their skirts flying up and down as the energy being formed between them began to form. That's when they saw the others. The spirits.
Duo watched in awe as a Unicorn appeared behind Okashi, a serpent behind Mujaki, and a dragon behind Korosu. They gasped as different colors of light began to escape into the atmosphere, warm and caressing. Milliardo smiled at them, watching each one loose their energy but also gain it in a certain way.
The crystal between them began to glow a bright light, unlike any of them had ever seen. They could hear Yokoshima scream in anger, feeling their energy rise with the crystals help. His magic began to flare as each girl opened her eyes with a strong determination. They smiled at each other, forming out of the circle as Korosu took the crystal and held it out in front of her.
"Winds of Fire,
Winds of Earth,
Winds of Sea and Light,
Gather together,
The ancient ones,
Bring about,
Past, present and future!"
Korosu held it in midair between her palms, Mujaki and Okashi helping the black haired girl by using their own energy. They each smiled to each other once again, laughing a little. The crystal glowed once again, this time engulfing each girl, taking it into its depths. Yokoshima screamed as he disappeared in the light, six crystals being destroyed as he was. Heero, Duo and Milliardo cheered the three girls on, but they were no were in sight.
"Where are we?" Mujaki said, her voice echoing through the nothingness that lay around her. Their bodies lay cold and bare, naked in front of the other. They floated upside down in the blackness, listening for any sign they might hear.
"What happened?" Okashi asked, covering her breasts with her right arm. She looked over to see Korosu covering her own body as well, blood still covering most of it.
-You are inside of me.
Korosu looked at Mujaki and then to Okashi, seeing that they too had heard that deep caressing voice.
"Who are you?" Korosu asked, her eyes trying to search for something that might give him away.
-You are inside of me.
Mujaki clenched as cold air blew past her; she hugged herself even closer from the cold air.
"Where. . . inside…of you?" Korosu asked quickly, excitement and fear in her voice all at the same time.
-Thank you.
"For what?" Okashi asked, looking around her and to the other girls.
-You have set me free. Thank you.
"What?" Mujaki asked.
-Good bye.
"Wait!" Korosu screamed out, trying to reach for whatever and who ever he might be. With that, the black ness disappeared and they looked up to see the three men looking down at them, their shirts off. Korosu was awaken first, her eyes flickering open to see his face hovering over hers. He smiled to her when she woke up, kissing her on the forehead. She looked around to see Duo and Heero smile softly at her, and then noticed that they each at their shirts off. Her hair blew in her face as her body shivered, noticing for the first time that she was still naked.
Okashi and Mujaki woke soon afterwards, smiling at the ones that had given them warmth.
"I'm. . . sorry." Korosu said, hugging herself as she lay naked and bare.
"Don't worry about it! Of course, were not going to be able to trust you for a while, but that's alright!" Okashi said, slapping her on the back.
"Yeah, its cool." Mujaki replied, smiling to her. Korosu cried then, the first time in 2000 years. She laughed at herself, as Milliardo picked her up in his arms and began to take her to his apartment. Duo was the next to leave with Okashi in his arms, Heero and Mujaki sitting on the nearest bench they could find so that she could rest for a few moments.
"You sure you're alright?" Heero asked her as she sat next to him, her shirt over her fragile body. She nodded to him, kissing him on the cheek.
He leaned down; touching her lips with his, feeling again the warmth that he felt there. He couldn't pull away easily, knowing that he might not be able to have her forever, that one day she might leave him. She pulled away, telling him that the bench wasn't the place. He smiled at her, his arm around her waist. They sat like that for a while before regaining their strength and going to his apartment.
"Thank you, for everything." Korosu said as she sat down near Milliardo in front of the fireplace. She had his pants on as well as a shirt, too big for her small body. He smiled at her, laughing at how big the shirt and pants were on her.
"No problem."
"May I ask you a question?" Milliardo said after they were silent for about a half an hour.
"Yeah, why not…"
"Are you really going to start over?"
She looked at him then, his body and his eyes. Her blood raced as she looked at him, her eyes blurry now, her eyesight being lost to her. She felt his arms come to her, pull her close to him. She could feel his chest rise and fall; his muscles tighten with every breath.
"If you did start over, would you mind starting over with me?" His voice was deep and caressing, almost like a harp. Korosu smiled and laughed while her head was still against his chest, as she sighed and pulled away. She leaned forward and kissed him, her lips and his touching for the second time. This time with passion and love, heat and fire.
"Yes, I would love to start my life over with you." Korosu replied, whispering in his ear as he began to unbutton her shirt.
He took her to the bed then, buttons becoming unbuttoned, pants being taken off and their bodies nude and bare. Milliardo couldn't help but look at her, watch her move to his side, listen to her sighs. He kissed her neck, memorizing her body and her taste. He stopped once, to look at the groove between her breasts and the necklace that lay there.
"It was my fathers." She said, before pulling his head towards hers and kissing him. He opened his mouth, inviting her to taste what his felt like. She took it without thought and recognition, tasting for the first time what true love really meant.
"Okashi, I've known you for three long years." Duo said, setting her down on the bed and kissing her on the lips.
He looked down at her naked body, the way it curved here and there. Seeing it made his heart race as his hand reached her waist and held it there.
"I love you, Okashi. I love you so much, you still have no idea how much I love you."
"Yes, I do. Duo"
His lips brushed hers then, his hand feeling her body. She sighed when he touched her, feeling for any new sign that he might have. She let herself be his; she let him kiss her. Her green hair lay across the bed when he made love to her again. It was passionate, love and caring at the same time. He could barely contain himself any more. She smiled at him as she watched him sleep after he was finished with her. She would stroke his hair and tell him how much she loved him, telling that she did now how much he loved her. She feel asleep in his arms when the clouds revealed the moon as it caressed its mother below.
"NOO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!" Okashi screamed, her report card in hand. Her hair was in her normal bun, messed up and out of shape.
"Flunked again, Okashi?" Korosu asked, her college uniform blowing in the wind as she sat down near the tree that Okashi stood by.
"It's about time that school got out…" Mujaki said as she walked up to them, holding Heero's hand. He smiled at them before Duo and Milliardo made there way up to them as well.
"Hey what's up you guys!!" Duo screamed from across the courtyard, running up to Okashi. They hugged each other and pecked each other on the cheek before they both sat down next to Korosu, Milliardo reserving a spot next to her. He looked down and smiled at her, watching her eyes move to his. She smiled back to him, a reflection in the making. Okashi and Duo smiled at the two know, seeing for the first time the love in each other's eyes. He kissed her cheek passionately before putting his hand over hers.
Epilogue
"She sleeps so soundly." Yokoshima said to his servant that stood next to him. He watched the little girl that he found all alone sleep restlessly on his bed, her breathing quick and silent. He smiled at her, his face young and adventurous.
"Did you get her name, King?" The young woman asked, her long brown hair and dark brown eyes looked at the purple haired boy. His eyes were dark green, seeing through all. His pale face showed nothing of emotion, but his smile was worth a thousand lives.
"Her name is Korosu." He replied to her. She smiled back, looking back at the small girl that lay on his covers atop his bed.
"Where did you find her?"
"In the town near the Dark forest. Her town had been burned and she couldn't stop crying." He replied to his servant, watching the girl once again. He smiled to her as she slept, brushing her long hair past her face. He kissed her on the cheek before getting up and leaving the room. His servant waited for him, her body small and fragile.
"She will destroy me one day." He looked at her. Her eyes grew wide as she gasped in horror.
"But. . . "
"She will." He stopped her from saying anything more before smiling. He looked back at the closed door before heading to the closest courtiers that he found.
She will destroy me, with not only herself, but with two beautiful young women. He fell asleep dreaming of what he would become and the three young girls that gave him beautiful dreams.
