Crystal of Love

Chapter 21

~*~*~*~*~*

They slowly crept their way into the temple, finding Mita sitting quite bored on the throne chair at the high altar of the place. It seemed as if he was watching the lint fly through the air as he waited them to come forward. He finally got bored of their stalling, and said, "Why don't you just come forward now, I knew you where there when you first entered my domain."

"This isn't your domain!" Tisha declared his voice strong with anger at the priest, one who said that his domain was the rightful place for their god of Darkness.

"Oh calm down little pup," Mita said, raising a hand and sending a blast of strong wind with just the motion of his finger to the Nark, sending him hard against the wall. Tsuki called out to him and ran over to her brother, but another blast from Mita made her to slam into the wall by her brother. "Such a waist of young, ill minded little ones who don't know how to treat their elders, or those who will one day rule over them."

"I won't let you!" Kaoru declared, her fists clenching at her side, Kenshin reached out and laid a hand on her shoulder, giving a small sense of a calming balm that settled Kaoru down a little.

"Don't you get it? I am stronger then you now—more powerfully then the small wolf goddess beside you, or your dragon lover, or your parents themselves. I am God."

"No you aren't!" Misao said, a strong spell forming inside of her hands, reading it to throw. She did so, but Mita didn't even blink as it was shot to him. He just blocked it off, the blast destroying the wall beside him.

"I told you little one!" he stood up, and casted a quick spell, one that froze everyone in their spots. "You can't defeat me, kill me, harm me, or even think bad of me when I have this power. The power I dreamed about all of my life."

He stood up and walked to Misao, hitting her across the face hard, she fell to the floor and Aoshi called out her name, wanting to rush to her but he couldn't move as the spell stuck him to the floor. Mita laughed as everyone struggled; it was so fun to see them all in pain, to see them suffer with the power that was his from this day forward. The glory of his battle, his time, it all added to this moment, the moment he would finally over come the two that had held him down all his life.

"You see it now? I have this power, it is all mine, no one else is going to take it away from me, not even you miss spawn. You, you were the one who took it all from me in the times before! But now look and see what I will do? I will take the scared Jewel of Narktan and be a god beyond even the one God himself! I will be invincible and be the ultimate ruler of all…with you, my lovely dear, by my side."

He looked over qt Kaoru, slowly tracing Kaoru's face with a finger, she tried to move away from it, only to get hit in the face as Misao had been when she had show defiance. "I would rather die then ever be with you Mita!"

"Then it can be arranged!" A spear of light appeared in his clenched hand, and he readied it to stab her through the heart, but a bright light flowing through the room stopped him. "What the hell?"

The light was coming from the Jewel of Narktan, the one treasure of all the Narks and the World below, the one thing that pieced everything from their legends to beliefs, even to the Spawn of Darkness her self. It was a gift from the gods that only the Narks could ever touch in sweet wonder. It was theirs to keep and protect them from the evil of the world above, if they could ever believe in such a thing.

The jewel itself was a diamond shape crystal, black with a red sphere in the center, on which a glow of power could be seen as if spun inside is diamond shell. It came closer and closer, all in slow motion to the owner that it choose sense the time the world was created.

"What the hell is it doing?" Mita grumbled, not noticing that the crystal had set everyone free from their tight bonds and Kaoru was preparing to jump him, until she felt her do so, slamming him to the ground hard, holding his arms back as she pinned him to the ground.

"What ever it is, I won't let you get to it!" Kaoru declared as she kept him down.

"Ha! Do what ever you wish, but you can't stop me with out turning into the immortal goddess of Narktan her self!" He used his power and sent her flying through the air and off of him, she hit the ceiling. When she landed, blood spilled from her mouth and pain came to her like nothing before. And what the hell was he talking about? What was this goddess of Narktan? And the jewel itself? What was the significance of it all…?

And then she remembered… You must form one…

That is what her parents meant! She must form one with the jewel to defeat him—everything started to get pulled to the ground as Mita used another spell. He let out this most annoying laughter as he started to the jewel after seeing his enemies getting crushed by something they couldn't counter attack.

"Kaoru…" Kenshin whispered, trying to keep his eyes open as he stared at his lover, and how she was struggling to get up, but every time she moved some what, she was pushed back down. He wished he could help her some way, but he didn't know how. Then it hit him, it was a tricky thing, but it would have to do. Summoning all his strength, he became dragon—but not the humanoid form, but a small dragon, long and small, the size of a very large snake to be exact. And the good thing, the gravity spell didn't effect him as he went over to his wife, slowly curling about her neck and giving her his power to do so.

It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and she thanked her dragon-lover as the gravity started to pull him to the ground and she laid him down softly before rushing off to where Mita was. They both went for it, their fingers going at the same time for the jewel when the light blinded them all.

Everyone in the back closed their eyes as the light flooded the room to the max. It seemed as if the light itself would destroy the world itself and end it all for them right then and there.

When the light faded, Mita was their, his body shaking as he looked on to the beauty who got their first.

But still, the fight continues next as well, and I finally made mention of a jewel in the story, which helps mix in with the words Kaoru's parents said in a few chapters before. Please review!

Momo-chan: Thank you, and yeah, he had to die at all is sad…and it makes you feel sad as well… but, alas, if you think about it, it is off in a better place then before.

Jay: shortest review from you I got, and was the description of the small-dragon Kenshin okay?
