Crystal of Love
RK and YYH don't belong to me.
AN: Hi everyone! How has your morning been? Well, min, okay, if puking on water counts… it was very strange feeling… any way, after getting off from some strange subjects, I have a new chapter, meaning one more after this one! Everyone cheer!
Chapter 22: Meeting of the Gods, or some of them
~*~*~*~*~*
No one could really explain what the saw as they gazed at the same beauty before them. But, nothing had changed; just a bright light seemed to cover the whole room in a tight hold. It was magnificent yet scary at the same time. "You really are scared of me now, aren't you?" Kaoru said, holding out a hand—the one that wasn't holding the crystal—towards the trembling Mita as he looked on in horror. "But, alas, I'm not the one you should be afraid of."
"She has a point," added a new voice, from a beautiful woman with a soft smile. "For I am the Goddess of Narktan, and will be until I retire."
"Then how can she hold—" Mita tired to say, but the smooth point of Kenshin's katana against his back made him stop. The dragon was back, as the gravity spell was lifted from the room.
"She has the power of love, as the reason the jewel was made. My husband, the god you have been defying, made it for me, as a symbol of our love. You could never control it, let alone place a single piece of your hair on it as long as you didn't love."
Mita didn't know what to say as the goddess gave a signal to Kenshin to do whatever he wished to the man who had killed him long ago. But Kaoru made quick eye contact with him, pleading silently for him not to kill Mita… he knew she had something on mind. He raised his sword and hit Mita beside the head, the man crumbled to the floor with a thud, unconscious.
"Such a considerate man, unlike some one I know," the goddess said, pouting, as she looked at Kaoru and Kenshin embrace, the dragon's wings some what folding around them, as if creating a barrier between them and the world.
"Oh, let us not get into that again." In a flash of black fire, a man appeared, his skin a dark tan, his hair long and black held back in a samurai knot, and his dark blue man's kimono half on and half off. "We have this fight on and off for countless of years!"
"Yes, because you forgot," came the goddess's response.
"One stupid anniversary!"
"Our one-hundredth anniversary! Dears, listen, don't let your husbands forget that date in your lives, it's very important."
"Yumi!"
"Ha! Don't you dare 'Yumi' me hon! I know your games!"
"Yumi!"
"Now dear, is this how you want to act in front of your new family?" Yumi motioned to the small group of four that included two red heads and their wives. "Sessh, you can be so inconsiderate." She turned to her daughter with a smile, as the girl did so in reply.
"We're your new in laws, nice to meet you," said the male, looking closely at Kenshin for a moment before looking away. "But, this place isn't right for talking, don't you think dear?" She nodded her assent and he snapped his fingers. The next thing they all knew, they were back in the world above, Yahiko and Tsubame with them as they sat about in Kaoru and Kenshin's living room. They were all stunned, but Kaoru's parents weren't at all, they just simply sat their drinking tea as they waited for the rest to regain their senses.
"It all begun in the past," started Yumi after everyone had settled down, "When I was living in my village and feel in love with this annoying, forgetful ma—"
"Yumi!"
"Alright, alright, when I met Shishio, and feel in love. We married, but the war started and he had to leave. I gave birth during that time to my child, and life went on until our village was attacked. During that night, I had died, after hiding my child deep with in a safe spot, hiding with her the Jewel of Narktan, which was made by my husband for me as a gift of his love. Even then we were the gods you see before you, but with small changes that all gods have to go through to live in the mortal world as a mortal human. And that s why we died as we did—me in my village, and he in the war. Caught on fire to be exact." She sent him a sly look, humor glittering in her eyes.
"Don't you start that up again."
"Alright, anyway, our child went for revenge and you got the rest from Kenshin when he spoke to you before. And that is were I end."
"But what about the destiny that Kaoru was supposed to go through?" Tsuki asked.
"That was made up by Mita, he had the intent to marry her when he got her power," answered Shishio, oddly enough, looking a little green. "Who would be mad enough to marry and mate with their own daughter?"
No one answered to that.

AN: I am finally almost done! The next chapter will be the epilogue, meaning that I am really done with my second fic! Everyone cheer once more! Sorry if the fighting scene was shocking, but…*remembers pink bowling balls with a shudder* it could've been very worse. And the scene between Y&S, well, I hope was funny as well as strange to some extent, though, this fic isn't very much on the horror side… oh well. I hoped you like it anyway.
Jay: Kenshin got to knock Mita unconscious at least, which is better then nothing, right? And don't use such big words…I had to look up that word, and even after getting a definition, I was still lost! I know, pathetic…but my vocabulary isn't very large. ^.^
Eliz: Instead of Kaoru turning into The Goddess of Narktan, the goddess appeared instead, for it's her mom. Did that make any sense? I hope so.
I hope you liked this chapter, and see you all tomorrow when I update the last one for CL!
