Chapter 10: To Keep the Peace; Sacrifices


HealerVenus looked around and made a face. "Blech...this Olivia doesn't have much taste in decor...."

Wolf sweatdroped and all the other senshi fell over. "Well duh, baka Cheetah-chan. Shes a bad guy... Shes not supposed to have good decor sense."

HV glared at her. "Oh come off it Keiko."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grim, Wolf, HealerVenus, and Liam were walking down a dark corridor of the palace. The senshi had thought it best to split up. Grim, Wolf, HealerVenus, and Liam in one group. Moon, Fighter, and FighterMoon in another. And Healer, Maker, MercuryMaker, Hawk, and Tiger in another.

HealerVenus shivered. "Ohhh...theres a wave of foreboding around here....." An evil voice sounded in their minds.

"Don't worry Sailor Senshi, I will get to you soon...but I will take care of some of the others first...Hm....how about Healer, Maker, MakerMercury, Tiger, and Hawk to be first.....See you!"

All four looked up sharply. "NO!" HV screamed and ran back. "KAORAN!!! OTOSAN!!!"

"KAELA!!! WAIT!!!!" Wolf cried.

"ITS DANGEROUS!!!!" Liam shouted.

But she kept running

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Healer peeked around the corner cautiously. "Its very strange that we haven't encountered any youma yet...."

Maker nodded. "Very strange...."

Tiger swiped her sword around a few times. "They're just afraid because the Master Swordsman, Kaoran the Great, is here!!!" she struck a pose similar to Minako on a volleyball power trip.

Hawk hung her head. "Yare yare....Kaoran really is Aunt Minako's son...."

Maker winced as MercuryMaker moved around on her back. The young celestial senshi, after being through so much, had finally gotten tired.

"Hiisssss......ssssay your prayerssssss ssssenssshi....."

Tiger and Hawk looked at each other, nodded, and leapt infront of Healer and Maker. "Who are you?!!"

A youma dropped from the ceiling above them. "I'm your death ssensssshi!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wolf looked up at a loud scream. "That was Healer!"

HV paled. "OTOSAN!!!" she ran faster.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ototsan!!" Taiger screamed, cutting the vine, holding Healer by the neck, in two with her sword. Healer dropped to the ground gasping for air. After cutting the rest of the vines Tiger knelt down beside her. "Are you alright Otosan?"

Maker looked over from the youma she, Hawk, and MercuryMaker were fighting and her eyes widened in horror. "YATEN!! KAORAN!!! LOOK OUT!!!!"

Instinctivly, when Tiger heard this cry she shoved Healer away from herself.

The razor sharp vine plumeted down and went stright through Tiger's back, where her heart was, and came out through the front of her body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HealerVenus stopped dead in her tracks and fell to her knees, eyes wide and filled with tears. Wolf knelt down beside her. "Kaela....? Are you alright? You're really pale."

HealerVenus swallowed very hard. "Kaoran......my-my link....to...to Kaoran.....its gone...."

Wolf's eyes widened. "Kaoran....." she whispered.

By then Liam and Grim had arrived. Hv burried her face in Liam's shoulder and started to cry. "Kaoran...." she sobbed. "Kaoran...he's dead....Kaoran..." Liam put an arm around her and stroked her hair gently, whispering comforting words to her. While Grim could only watch helplessly as Wolf fought back tears for her fallen cousin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"KAORAN!!!!" Hawk screamed in horror. But she had no time to morun because she had to grab the youma's claws before they sliced her in two.

MercuryMaker shook her head and looked up from the dehenshined body of Kaoran. "I'm sorry.... He's gone....."

Healer clentched her fists and choked back tears. "K-Kaoran......" she whispered. She glared at the youma. "MakerMercury...stay here."

MakerMercury looked at her like she was insane. "Demo--!!!"

Healer cut her off by standing after glancing at Kaoran's body once more. She turned to MM. "Stay here. I"m not going to let Taiki's younger daughter die like Kaoran did..." and with those words she ran over to the fray where Maker and Hawk were fighting off the youma.

Maker doged a claw while Healer leapt over a vine shot at her. Hawk ducked under a swipe as well. "I don't know how long we can keep this up Yaten!" Maker said as she ducked under a claw. "We aren't getting any hits in!" She turned to her teammate. "We aren't getting anywhere!"

Healer however was looking behind her comrade in horror. "TAIKI!! BEHIND YOU!!!"

Maker half turned, too late. There was no way she could avoid the attack.

Hawk gasped. "OTOSAN!!!" she ran forward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wolf stopped running. "Oh Kami..."

Grim and the others stopped and looked at her.

Wolf bit her lip. "Locke...."

The other three looked at her in horror.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MercuryMaker was crying now. "Locke!! LOCKE!!" she could only stare in horror at her brother's body.

Maker, close to tears, glared at the youma. "I don't think....we were meant to get out of this Healer...."

Healer took up a stance next to her sister. "I think you're right. But we can atleast take this monster out with us."

Maker looked over her shoulder. "MakerMercury....you can get out of here now, but only now. So go!"

MM shook her head, she knew what her father and her uncle were going to do. "Iie Otosan! I"m going to stay and fight! You'll need my power to destroy him!" she ran up next to Maker and smiled at her. "This is my mission! This is OUR mission! As senshi, we were born to do this! To protect our world!"

Maker ruffled her hair. "You're right. This is our mission. You're a brave little girl you know that?"

MM smiled brightly. "Lets do this right Otosan, Uncle Yaten!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HealerVenus and Grim stumbled when an explosion rocked the ground while Wolf and Liam braced themselves against the wall. The passage infront of them collapsed after a smoking object bounced around over to them, coming to rest by HealerVenus. The girl bent down and looked at the object with tear filled eyes. "It's...it's Kaoran's sword.." she whispered. She bent down to pick it up but jerked her hand back, it was white hot.

Wolf lowered her gaze. "Healer...Maker....MakerMercury..."

HealerVenus collapsed on the ground. "I just...felt...Otosan's shine die away....and Uncle Taiki's..and MakerMercury's....they're...they're all gone..." Wolf knelt down by her.

"Kae-chan...listen...I know how you feel but--" HV slapped her away.

"YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW I FEEL!!!" she screamed. "YOU'RE PARENTS AND SISTER ARE STILL ALIVE!!! YOU HAVE YOUR FAMILY!!! MY BROTHER AND MY FATHER ARE DEAD!!! MY MOTHER MIGHT BE!!! AND YOU SAY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL?!!! HA!!!"

Wolf's eyes went flat and she slapped the other girl across the cheek, despite Liam's cry of protest. HV blinked and put a hand to her cheek. "G-gomen...I..I don't know what came over me...I..I lost control of myself..."

Wolf stood and started to walk the way they had come. "You should keep in control more then." the tone of her voice sent chills down Grim's spine. "Because HealerVenus, I DO know how you feel. My mother has died countless times before she met my father, my father is still dead if you recall, just a ghost. And my sister faded away when father was hurt, at the same time Mamoru-san was being controled by Nehelania. So don't tell me I don't know what it's like to lose my family. I"ll know better than you ever will." with that she walked off, face set in stone, hands clentched into fists, leaving HealerVenus, Liam, and Grim staring after her with bewildered expressions.
