Love That Guides Us
Chapter 8
Change of Heart
Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to Nicole. Mysterious and unpredictable and so much like myself. I can never guess what your thinking, but we always aid in each other's quest.
The rays of white light filled the room, blinding the young girl the shadows were so afraid of. Once the light had diminished, they were gone. The one soul sat alone in the darkness, tears streaming down her face.
" Don't go...."
The demon spirits had not heard a word of what she spoke. The continued there journey to Ishikawa. The two spirits finally arrived on the deserted planetary abode, each painted with the Devil's smile. A slow walk was started but was full of everything but silence.
" Washu, stop thinking of her," the heartless woman hissed.
" Then you must be to know I am."
Mutiny rang in her ears as she heard Washu speak.
" Do not talk back to me! I should just take your power and dispose of you!" the goddess powered energy into her extended arm.
Washu placed her fingers around the demon's wrist, " Admit it, you were afraid of her power. Fear 'tis an emotion, dear sister. Emotions are forbidden," Chaos hissed.
" That girl was nothing but an image of the power I shall posses."
Tokimi turned her back toward her sister.
' Still, such power coming from a mere child; a child I have yet to learn the name and origin of.'
" Surely you know of her, correct?"
Tokimi's eyes focused on Chaos, " No."
Both demons continued their walk through Ishikawa. One fact tugged at the back of Time's mind.
' Interesting, they look so mush a like.'
He fell to his knees, covered with sorrow. Her story had told him more than wished to know. His heart ached with pain at the thought of her betrayal. Tears fell from Tenchi's eyes.
" Why? How is it possible?"
Takara sighed heavily, " I can only think of one possible answer."
All eyes focused themselves upon her. Tenchi and Ryoko weren't the only ones listening, the others had appeared from behind. It would seem that they had regained their consciousness in time to hear the tale.
" The Gems of Chaos have a large flaw within them. Chaos is never complete, so it is possible to control them. Tokimi must have seen this and used it to her advantage."
" Is there anyway to."
" No, there is no way to reverse it. If there was, I would have done it the second I saw her possessed eyes."
Silence infected those around Takara as she finished her last sentence of sorrow filled words. It didn't last as long as expected though, a noise outside disturbed the souls of many. Slowly, each individual slipped out of the burnt room and into the rain of the night.
What was before their very eyes socked them to the soul. Mikamo and Mikumo stood before a blue lit goddess. Tsunami was ignited with flames of blue as she raised her arms to the sky. Beams of energy shot out from her palms and caused the sky to mutate its color into a metallic type.
" What's she doing?" Ryoko whispered into Takara's ears.
" N.nothing," Takara suddenly felt ill. ' I can't let her continue this, I'll be revealed!'
Ayeka was the first to notice the pale color of Takara's face, " Are you alright?"
" Y.Yes.I.I just need to." Takara faded into the house before she finished.
The Masaki collapsed upon the remains of the living room. Blood trailed from her mouth as she forced her eyes to remain open. Her fingers became anesthetized and her sight unfocused constantly. She cursed Tsunami before her eyes closed.
A blue light filled the area where she lay as Tsunami's silhouette appeared. The Goddess knelt before the dying child, whispering words of regret and realization. She placed a hand on Takara's face, wiping away the blood falling from her eyes.
" Such a response to the blockade. I never suspected you to be her."
Tokimi and Washu shot their head in the direction of Earth. A sudden fail in energy had disrupted their meditation of the planet Ishikawa. Someone, or something, had lowered the power of the one who frightened Time to such a miniscule level. It was hard to tell if the power source had died or not, but it was likely.
" It would seem that our sister has destroyed your fear, Tokimi."
Eyes of fire glared upon the soul of Chaos. " Quiet! I have had enough of this mockery!"
" To think the big, bad evil one is afraid of a spirit the pure one is able to defeat. What would Tsunami say if she heard of such a ridiculous turn of events?" Chaos laughed hysterically.
" If you value life, this ridicule will cease!"
" I don't, Tokimi."
The Goddess of Time stood in disbelief. How was it possible to not value life? Even she did. In Tokimi's eyes, Washu was mad, insane, and stupid. Life was to be treasured no matter how horrible it is for many. Was it truly possible for Chaos to be blind to that fact?
" You truly are.." Tokimi stuttered.
" Insane!"
The metallic sky returned its color of overcast and rain at Tsunami's command. Takara's strength was soon revived and the blood upon her face and the floor dissolved. Life was brought into her fingers and limbs, giving her the strength to stand and glare at Tsunami.
" You nearly killed me!" Takara hissed.
Tsunami kept her composure as the young girl scolded her for her wrong doing. True, the blockade would have killed the spirit she was searching for, but she never knew Takara would be the one. Was it possible? The only way for it to be true was if Takara was.
" Takara?"
" What is it now?" irritability was shown within her words. " Do want to try killing me again?"
" I do apologize, but..."
" But what? Out with it!" Takara burned with rage.
" You are the descendant of a Choushin Goddess aren't you?"
