¤ Chapter Six ¤
It had been a week since Momiji had last seen Kusanagi. She wasn't worried because she knew that no matter what he was still watching her. Her mother had scowled at her for moping so she went to the nearest bar for a drink. They asked her for her i.d and she produced it soundly.
He gave her a bottle of beer and she sat and drank it at the bar. It was immensely crowded and she was lucky to have found a spot at all at the bar. As the person next to her left another person took her place. It was Leis.
"Hey beautiful why look so miserable?" He asked for a beer as well. "And a beer as well? Something happened."
"I suppose I don't have to tell you considering you probably saw it already." She glared at the empty bottle in her hands. "How's life in the future going?" She asked him and he looked down at his bottle.
"It's pretty grim. But you'll soon find this out." He said.
"So tell me… does the world come to an end or what?" She asked not realizing that she was prying.
"I have my limits of travel, besides I'm not allowed to reveal anything but I will tell you a secret if you promise not to say anything at all." He winked at her and got up to leave.
"What, what, what. I promise!" She said.
"Guns love computers." And with that he was gone into the crowd.
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
He had been walking along outside thinking of his own lost love when he saw someone glowing silver from inside a restaurant. He ran towards the light and looked inside hoping to find someone else who was a silver dreamer. But it was just Momiji dressed in a red trench coat, and looking sad as ever.
He left her with those parting words thinking that maybe it would get her head out of the sappy tree. He walked along and knew someone was watching so he turned around and threw his hat in the tree. It did not return.
"Mamarou I presume?" He asked as the shape fell out of the tree and landed in front of him.
"I thought I told you to stay away from her." He growled.
"Don't worry I won't steal her heat. But I wouldn't have broken it either." He started to walk past him. Kusanagi knew that this man could find out everything if he wanted so he shut his trap.
"Why do you care." He said to his back.
"Because she is one of the more sweet and gentle of my students. I don't want to see her hurt, and you're tearing her heart to pieces." He said and Kusanagi grabbed his jacket, but just then Momiji walked out of the bar and saw the two men. Both of them disappeared in an instant. Leis into thin air, and Kusanagi jumped above and back into the tree.
Momiji walked over to the tree, a little bit more drunk then she wanted to be.
She looked up in the tree and into total darkness. "Kusak- Kus- Kusanagi I know that you're uh… you're uhh.. you're up in that tree. Coward!"
She mumbled a few more words to the tree and then started to walk off and pulled his coat tightly around her. It was too long for her and she constantly tripped on the hem of it. Just as she thought she tripped on the hem and went down to her knees. All of a sudden she had another silver dream. She clutched her head in pain as the dreams flashed by.
She could tell the difference between past present and future whenever they flashed. This time it wasn't a warning it was a call for help. The past was the little girl being eaten by the monster in the shadows, in the present she saw another little child walking along the dark street looking scared, then in the next she saw Kusanagi on the ground with a bloodied lip, she saw herself lean down and saw his lips move but unlike other dreams there was no sound. She crawled to her feet and steadied her.
I have to find that little boy, she thought hastily. If I'm right and that's the present then he's in trouble. Momiji got up and ran towards the street that she saw in her dream. She walked up it and didn't find anything… she became really worried and then felt the cold chill of the wind. She shivered and felt something glow in her mind. She looked around and she saw something glowing… silver… in the other direction. She ran towards it and saw that it glowed a bright red, not silver. She picked it up. It was the teddy bear that she saw the boy holding.
Momiji ran home knowing that she was too late.
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
The next day when the sun was setting Koume picked up Momiji at her house and drove them to the TAC building for a meeting. They walked in. Everyone was happy to see Momiji and they had tons of questions but realized that they could wait when they saw the dark circles under her eyes.
"Guys, Momiji has a very… interesting story to tell us." Koume said. She had heard it on the way over and now it was time to tell them about her little 'adventure' up north.
Momiji told them about Kusanagi, and the Puri, Leisuri. She told them of how he had attacked her only to show her true power.
When she was finished everyone stared in stunned silence. Momiji hadn't told them about the problems between herself and Kusanagi, but she knew that they wondered where he was.
"Momiji I think that I have heard of this Leis guy. He's a actually a legend that I didn't believe until now." Yaegashi said looking down at his hands.
"What do you mean a… legend?" Koume asked.
"I once read about him. He's called a Silver Seurpuri. There are many of them, but few with great power. They are kind of like vampires. They can travel back and fourth in between time. But there's something about this one, a legend. He once fell in love with a woman in his travels of the past. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but they weren't allowed to be together and he left her never to return."
"Whoa talk about research…" Koume was about to say but was interrupted by Daitetsu.
"No what happened was that the woman that he fell in love with was about to be married and on the day that she broke off her marriage with her fiancé the Seurpuri left her in the past crying. She had no man left." He looked down sadly.
"Daitetsu! How do you know of the story?" Koume asked, and Momiji already knew, for she didn't tell them about…
"I knew the girl. Her name was Keiko Natsumi. She was a great friend of Keade's. She was heartbroken afterwards and left Tokyo. I believe that Kusanagi knows the man too.
"Wait a minute, you're not talking about Keiko Natsumi the singer are you?" Koume and Ryoko both coursed.
"Yeah. That's what see did when she left, she became a famous singer and she's actually touring right now." He said looking up.
"Okay okay. But what of this new monster? What is it a vampire?" Koume asked and saw Momiji wince. "Hey babe what's wrong?" she asked.
Momiji flipped her hair and showed them all the two bite marks from the vampire that she received. They gasped.
"He didn't know that I had the silver dreams and my power kind of burned him. He takes the shape of a human man, but has cold breath and hides under a coat and hat and gloves.
Yeagashi spoke up, "So what he only goes after children?"
Daitetsu answered, "See a vampire isn't what you think they are. There are very few of them, they live on human blood true but what you know of by movies or television isn't all true."
"What do you mean, that the vampires are a different species?" Ryhoko asked.
"No," He scratched his head, "Someone told the wrong story. See crosses, and garlic don't bother them at all. And the vampire slayers cannot be killed by stabbing them. Usually real vampire slayers are either white dreamers, or magenta dreamers. They like to lure their victims into the shadows or somewhere dark and then they attack them. In the movies they say that vampires are also like bats and can fly, that's all bullshit. Actually they travel through the shadows and stay away from daylight."
"Like Momiji?" Koume asked.
"Yes, but like Keade, Momiji and her were both silver dreamers. Their powers are used for well… stuff like time. Or past, present and future, but they could never time travel… well not that I knew of." He finished.
"But why attack children?" Momiji asked.
"Their blood has more knowledge in it and more youth, besides they give less of a struggle for them. Vampire's learn everything from feeding on other beings for information." After a few seconds he continued, "When they attack beings with super natural powers, like Momiji, they get burned."
"Well then." They were all flabbergasted at the new information trying to sink in.
"Okay everybody out! Go home and get some rest. This new information will need a little bit of time considering that were not used to fighting them off." Daitetsu made everyone leave the building to go home and sleep.
On the way out Yaegashi started to walk home one way while Koume looked on.
"Hey Momiji do you still need a ride home?" She bit her lip.
"No I'm okay I'll just walk. Don't worry about me Koume! I have Kusanagi watching from somewhere. I know that he's still watching." Koume looked at her sadly and then ran after Yaegashi.
It then registered on her, Guns love computers! She gasped and then laughed at their two parting figures.
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
It was in the middle of the night when Momiji had another silver dream. This time she saw only one image. It was of great importance so she woke up and sweating. She panted towards the phone while slipping on clothes. Even though this dream hurt the most she had to ignore it and go on. She picked up the phone and dialed Koume's house.
Koume was asleep in her bed not sleeping. She was glad that she finally dragged Yaegashi to her house. She invited him over for some tea and then jumped him. Just like that they had wild monkey sex and then he slept over at her house for the night.
He had fallen asleep with his arms wrapped around her and then the phone rang.
"Awe fuck." She whispered to him.
He reached for the phone across over her.
"Hello?" He said raggedly.
"Oh I'm sorry I must have the wrong number."
"Momiji?" He asked and realized his mistake.
"Oh my… Yaegashi!" She laughed.
He blushed and handed the phone to Koume, "Yeah what?" She asked a little aggravated that her great night of sex was being interrupted.
"Koume I had another – ugh – silver dream. I need to go and find the child. I see that it's going to happen; I've got to go! Call TAC and meet me in front of the Nezu Art Museum." And with that she hung up.
Yeagashi leaned over and kissed her shoulder. They were both still naked in her bed and he had his arms around her. She got up without anything to cover herself.
"Common we gotta go!" She jumped into some clothes and threw his at him.
"Where are we going? It's still the middle of the night!" He complained.
"Momiji had a silver dream about another child. Call Daitetsu and Ryoko and I'll drive over there."
"No way, you aren't going alone!" He pulled her back onto the bed.
"But Momiji is alone out there! I at least have protection." She said picking up her guns and she pointed one at him, "Let me go."
He let her go and watched her run out the door with many guns and too much ammo. He groaned, "Women."
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
Momiji ran down the street looking for any sign of the children that she had a picture of. There were three of them. They were crying because they had been drawn out of bed and now they had no idea where they were. She ran and then leaned against the tree. She listened for a sound. She heard a scream and she ran towards the scene.
There in front of the museum was a monster taller than anything she had ever seen. She saw the three children and ran towards them. The monster jumped from one shadow into another. The tall buildings had many so it made it harder for her to reach them without touching them.
"Children come here!" But they were frozen by shock. She ran towards them and saw the monster vanish again. She stepped into the light and felt the monster reappear next to her. She looked and he tried to grab her but she was just out of his reach and she screamed. It couldn't step into the light no matter what and she was thankful for its claws looked painful. She spat at it and then ran towards the children watching her with fear.
"Run god damnit!" She yelled at them. But they just stood. The monster vanished again when realizing that she was heading towards the kids.
She started to pant hard and couldn't catch her breath. She was only a few feet from the children but they were in the shadows.
"Common now walk towards me." She wouldn't step in the shadows and they wouldn't budge, "PLEASE!" They just stared she went to take a step into the shadows as the monster drew near.
She stepped into the shadows and just as she felt the cold was over her she also felt someone plummeted into her side. It was Kusanagi.
"God damn you Momiji! Vampires lure have you forgotten so quickly!" He held her writs in a firm grip while she caught her breath and turned towards the children.
"No- the—they--- they need my---- help! Kusanagi no! Let—go!" She struggled against his grasp and Koume screeched to a stop just as Momiji became free. She ran towards the children as Kusanagi yelled.
"Koume stop her! It's not real! It's a lure!" Koume ran towards her but she was too quickly swallowed into the darkness.
Momiji stepped into the shadows and found herself in someplace different; it was cold, and dark. Momiji shivered. She could feel the vampire coming closer but she went towards the children instead. They finally acknowledged her and cried for help. She stepped towards them, all of a sudden they disappeared and popped up by her side pulling on her skirt.
"Oh help us, oh help us pul-ese!" They weren't crying but laughing.
Momiji stared in horror at all the little vampires at her feet. She realized then that she should have listened to Kusanagi and looked back to find no way out. The monster came forward and the children held her tight. He transformed not into a vampire but something that had grown. It had fangs and metal claws. Its eyes bulged with the desire for human blood. It crawled weakly towards the sacrifice waiting for him. She felt her neck being pried to the side and was too weak to fight off the scraps of the children's teeth. They weren't biting…yet. She cried as the beast lowered its fangs dripping with drool to her neck.
All of sudden it cried out with something of pain. It leaped away from Momiji as Koume's car's headlights, and Daitetsu's lights were combined to form no shadows for the creature. Now everyone could see the creature for light wouldn't harm it, but it hid it quite well in its own world. Kusanagi leapt at it when it was formed into the light and cut of one of its claws with his blades. Momiji fell limply to the ground. She mentally cheered on Kusanagi as Koume and Ryoko dragged her over to the safety of the bright lights.
Kusanagi dodged red spitfire blades that were shot out from the vampire's mouth. Daitetsu called out to him, "Kusanagi don't let those sting you! They will burn right through your heart!" He went to Momiji's side and told Koume to get ready to shoot it. They had prepared a special poison and dipped it around the bullet and then placed it in a freezer.
Koume loaded it into her gun and got ready to shoot whenever Kusanagi got out of the way. Momiji watched with a sigh of relief knowing that he would be safe soon.
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
She pulled the trigger as planned and waited for the bullet to come Kusanagi pulled away. Nothing happened.
"Koume what the hell!" Kusanagi leapt into the air carelessly to avoid another red burning blaze.
"Oh shit."
"Koume?" Momiji whispered getting to her knees.
"When we froze the bullet I didn't realize that it wouldn't be able to squeeze through the tube. Kusanagi just hold on a little big longer!" Koume and Momiji both yelled to him.
One of the blazes almost hit Momiji but Koume and her dove out of the way just in time. Kusanagi saw the direction of the bullet and followed its path. He was angry that the blade missed her by inches and almost killed her.
He leapt after with all the remaining of his strength. One of his old wounds had opened. Koume was trying to distract the monster with regular bullets but they seemed to just blow right through him without any pain.
Kusanagi dove again as a few more blazes came out and about. The monster was looking around frantically for a way out of the light. He shot one blaze towards Daitetsu's headlights and got one. The monster realized that he could get rid of the light and aimed again only to have it strewn away by Kusanagi.
"Koume try it again!" Kusanagi yelled and dodged three more. Momiji stood in fright and sighed when she head the gun click off the safety.
Koume pressed against the trigger just as Kusanagi dove out of the way. The blade scratched Yaegashi on the hand and he just missed another. Koume turned back and yelled.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Koume yelled against the anger she felt.
BOOM!
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
Koume was thrown back into Daitesu and Ryoko as the gun went off. Momiji saw the whole thing in silver as the bullet headed towards the monster and at the same time she started to run towards Kusanagi. He was looking at her and standing weakly. He didn't noticed the three bloody red blazes that escaped from the vampire and headed towards him. He turned just in time to miss the first one, he fell to the ground and missed the second one, then to avoid the third he tried to leap in the air but fell sideways and down just as the third blaze hit him square in the chest.
"NO!" Momiji ran to him and the monster exploded leaving them all in a purple oozing playground.
Momiji slid on the pavement to Kusanagi's side and reached him just as he fell.
"Kusanagi no." She whispered and picked up his head and placed it in her lap. She placed her hand on his neck trying to find a pulse and when she found one that was barely there she started to sob and his cat-like eyes opened.
"Kusanagi no. You fool. I told you not to protect me, why didn't you listen!"
She was sobbing and she lifted him so that he leaned against her and his lips were close to her ear.
Yaegashi and Sakura helped up the three that had fallen and they walked slowly to the pair sitting on the ground in a small pool of green blood. Koume winced. The gun had knocked the air out of her. She was going to feel pain, but not as much as Momiji was right now.
"Why Kusanagi! I told you not to protect me! Why!" She sobbed against his chest.
They all watched and Kusanagi smiled and tugged n a piece of her hair and pulled her down to say something to her. They could all see the pain and the burning that he was feeling inside, it showed in his eyes.
They could see his lips moving by her ear but then he stopped and his grip fell and he was limp in her arms.
"KUSANAGI!" Momiji couldn't believe her ears she had come so far and had lost so much. "Kusanagi no. No.. no…" She had he fists clenched in his shirt.
They all watched sadly.
"Momiji…" Koume said.
"No…" She was sobbing uncontrollably. She looked at her love and flicked out the hair that was in his eyes. In his shirt pocket was the picture of them at the movies. This only made her cry harder as she clenched over him.
None of the team members knew what to say, even Sakura was speechless.
All of a sudden they looked up and heard soft footsteps coming near. The monster had been destroyed and Kusanagi was dead. They looked up at where the sound was coming from… and all of a sudden the sound was accompanied by a shadowed figure. It was a man with silver wings. He walked towards them and stopped at where Momiji laid her head on Kusanagi's chest.
The team stared at the angel before them. But it wasn't an angel it was Leis.
"Leis." Daitetsu murmured.
But he ignored them all. He had only eyes for the weeping girl in front of him. She had reminded him so much of Keade. He held out his hand then.
"Kushinada… come." Momiji looked up at him with her tear streaked eyes. She stood up and walked over to him. He wrapped her in his arms as she weeped against his chest.
Daitetsu was going to demand where he was taking her when Ryoko stopped him and shook her head. "He's going to help Daitetsu."
Leis wrapped his silver wings around the both of them and looked up towards the sky. All of a sudden a silver light and wind seemed to come from the ground. His hair whipped out of it's ponytail and the black shimmered all around them. Momiji held on tighter as she felt her soul being ripped apart.
The team sat shocked as the light got brighter and they disappeared into thin air.
.·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·..·¤**¤·.
"You will not have much time Kushinada. Don't let the path of the bullet touch you either." He didn't look down at her but continued their path through the sky.
"But what about you? Are you allowed…" She started but he stopped her.
"Don't not worry about the consequences, that is for me. You just need to follow your heart back to earth and save him as he's saved you."
The next thing she had landed. She saw Koume blow the bullet and in slow motion it slowly streamed forwards towards the monster who blew a blade at Kusanagi.
She looked back her silver winged angel and he nodded with haste.
She ran forwards and stopped surrounding the bullet curiously and then headed towards Kusanagi. He couldn't see her and she saw the blade inching closer. She stepped in front of him too happy to see him and he saw her.
"MOMIJI!" It was like a faraway yell but he couldn't push her out of the way.
She threw her arms around his neck.
It was still slow and she pressed her lips onto his ear as he did and whispered to him, "I love you too Mamarou Kusanagi."
And with all her heart she kissed him like never before. She could feel time starting back to normal pace and she felt her heart glow silver with the love she felt for him. Time relapsed back into normal motion and the blades missed twice and then the third one struck. Kusanagi wrapped himself around the woman in his arms as he awaited the impact of the burning blade.
But it never came. The team watched wide-eyed as the silver grew over both their bodies and engulfed them with a silver fire. The blade slammed into the silver and a bright light took over, everyone shielding their eyes from the blinding flash.
