Chapter 5
The vow and the hate
***YEAH! I've got no hate reviews yet, that means you must be liking it!***
Hikari awoke from a strange dream. She had dreamt that a red phoenix and a blue dragon were fighting over her. After a while she remembered what had happened and where she might be. She looked at her surroundings, she was lying down on what looked like and sleeping bag under her and on top of her and a pillow under her head. She tried to sit up and realized that she couldn't even do that. She moved her arm, so her cover was removed, from around her body. She saw that there were bandages all over body, including a large one around her middle. She was in her pants and breast band, and looked as if she had been put saver treatment.
Then she remembered the rest of the night. 'I lost control again. I can't believe I did that! I should be dead too, they saved me again. Why? After all I've done.' "She finally awake." Hikari looked around saw all the Suzaku warriors standing around her, all of them standing in a semi-fighting position. Hikari once more tried to stand up, but with no luck. "I wouldn't try to stand up. One more effect of my fire ball, it drains some energy." Tasuki said emotionless. Tamahome leaned over to Nuriko and whispered in his hear, "He looks almost exactly like her, or the other way around." Nuriko giggled a little.
"Oh, shut up TAMA-KINS!!!" Tasuki yelled at Tamahome, as they got into another fight. The fight was interrupted by the red headed girl's laughter. Her bowed head lifted, as she smiled, once more reviling two white fangs and light blue eyes that turned an unnatural black color and her head turning a blood red. "You think you have beat me? You can't even beat each other!" To the sensei's surprise Hikari stood up and stayed up and started walking toward them with a merciless look in her eyes. The Sensei went into full fighting position. Chichiri started chanting and a light shield came between Hikari and the sensei. "I just set up a force shield, no da, I wouldn't come any closer! Your going to only hurt yourself, no da!" But Hikari keep coming at them, "I won't let you defeat me!"
Hikari finally hit the shield, and stood there for a few seconds trying to break through it. Soon, both her and Chichiri were sweating from trying to break through and hold up the shield. The rest of the sensei could only watch. Finally Hikari flew back to the pads, that she had been sleeping on, with a scream. As she landed her hair turned back to it's normal red, and her eyes turned back to their light blue. Hikari closed her eyes and took some deep breaths. "Thank you Chichiri." The sensei were shocked when she said this, but still refused to relax from their fighting positions. "Thank you." She looked out the window and closed her eyes again, a white glow surrounding her, her symbol shining on her forehead brightly. After a while the light stopped and Hikari removed her bandages, to reveal that they were all healed. Hikari looked at the shocked expressions of the sensei and smiled even more. "That thing with my eyes and hair, doesn't happen often. But when it does, my power doubles and I lose total control of my body. I'm afraid I've done it one too many times." Hikari explained.
There was a long silence, then Hikari stood and walked to the shield. "Chikara, come." Her sword that was leaning in the corner, came flying to her hands. At this the sensei became even more raged. But Hikari just smiled, showing off her fangs and keeled and unsheathed her sword and placed it at her feet. "I accept defeat. My sword is yours, warriors of Suzaku." She bowed her head and then straightened up. "My sword and I now belong to Suzaku. I shall answer any and all questions you have about me." Hikari then smiled once more.
"Okkkk?" The sensei looked very confused, all but Hotohori, who smiled back at her. "It's the swordsman oath." He explained, "She pledges her sword to us, she is now our ally. The sword is every thing to a swordsman, no matter what." "If that's the truth who are you really?" Chiriko asked. "I am Hikari, The lost star, replacement sensei. Born to replace any fallen sensei." Chichiri frowned on this, "If your to replace one of the sensei, then why have we meet? I mean Taiitsukun sent us in this direction for a reason, other than trying to find the summoning tool. But none of us have died yet, so why are you here?" Hikari laughed a little, "I've lived here all my life, but according to my scroll I'm spouse to meet the Sieryu Sensei too. My scroll is also the way I know all of your names." Chichiri's frowned more, "What scroll?" Hikari smiled even more, "I'm sure you all know the scroll of Suzaku, and how it tells of all the sensei and their names and such. Will, I have kind of like a master copy, it has all the sensei's names, their abilities and also when I shall meet up with them.
"But of had to meet up with Genbu and the others, you would have to be..." Miaka did some calculations in her head, "At least 84!" Hikari laughed, "I do keep my age well. But in reality, I'm 423 years old! Well, tomorrow I am." The sensei just stared at her as she laughed. "Now if you think you could lower this shield, so maybe I could get dressed and let you see my scroll!" Everybody in the room blushed when they realized that she wore nothing but her loose under pants and bra. Chichiri quickly put down his shield and exited the room, followed quickly by every one else.
They all stood out side the hotel, waiting for Hikari to finish dressing herself. Tasuki stood my the front door, listening for any sound, and then there was a small pitter-patter of a body coming down the hall. Hikari opened the door and walked out, she was wearing the same thing she had when they first meet, her red hair was tied back into a high ponytail and bangs that hang half in her bright blue eyes. She had her sword strapped over her back, she wore her common men clothes, which still had rip's in them. She smiled to revel her two large fangs.
"So my house is this way." Hikari started walking down the dusty street. As she pasted by Hotohori, she whispered in his ear, so no one else could here, "Thanks for your trust." And then she started down the street again.
