Legend: The Goddess of the Stars
Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to Jacque O. A life that has its ups and downs smiles and frowns; yet you always are there for me. Sometimes there are secrets held but they always become known.
Takara's face became whitish once Tsunami had finished. She had set a trap to find the new goddess, the heir of a Choushin. Everything was going Tsunami's way and soon she would know whom she really was. This wasn't good.
" What are you talking about?" untruthfulness blared in Takara's voice.
" Don't lie to me."
" Such a cold tone, Tsunami. Why are you being so cruel?"
The Goddess of Nature was tired of Takara's games of mystery. She found courage enough to grab the girl by the throat, cutting off her ability to breathe. If Takara wouldn't answer willingly, she would have to force it out of her.
" Tell me...NOW!" Tsunami pressed harder.
The young girl only let out a small cough and a fatal attempt at getting air.
" Do it!"
Takara didn't respond.
' Ryoko.....can you hear me?'
The pirate tilted her head toward the sky; someone was calling her name. The feeling was so familiar yet so new. She then realized the voice was from inside....but who was calling for her?
' RYOKO!'
It was Takara.
' What is it? You don't have to yell!'
' I don't have time for complaints; just do as I say! I need you to come into the living room and stop Tsunami.'
' What is she doing?'
' JUST DO IT!' the sudden scream echoed as the connection was cut.
The pirate raced inside the torn up domicile, wondering what the Goddess of Nature was up to. Surely Tokimi hadn't gotten to her as well. Only time would tell. Once she stepped foot in the room, Ryoko could only stare in shock. Takara was pinned against the wall with Tsunami's hand on her throat.
" Let her go!" the pirate jumped in the air, sword in hand.
Instantly the goddess released the girl, causing Ryoko to slice the floor. The pirate looked at the young girl who was coughing her lungs out, trying to breathe. Her evil glare didn't remain there for long; they shifted to Tsunami. Fire blazed through her veins as she stood up.
" Tsunami...."
The goddess gasped once she layed her eyes upon both Ryoko and Takara at the same time. They were so much alike. The face, the skin, the bangs, the way they were built, it was all the same! Tsunami knew the answer to her question even without the use of Takara.
" It's as I thought," Tsunami faced Takara. " Forgive me for my hostile behavior....Heir to Chaos."
Rain poured silently out of the night, covering everything with a wet blanket of emptiness. The face of Mikamo and Mikumo were unreadable as Tenchi concluded his story of Washu's whereabouts. It was almost an unbelievable story. Washu, Mikamo's wife had left all those she loved to join Tokimi? Even though it seemed as if she had abandoned them, he knew quite well she was being controlled.
" Damn those gems! Why on Earth does she keep those items with her?"
Tenchi only lowered his head.
" So Washu is...."
Mikumo was interrupted when a large beam of light spiraled toward the sky. The group ran toward the source; the house. Once inside the living room, they nearly fell to the floor in shock. A bright glow surrounded the mysterious girl from the future and once it dissipated, a mythical legend stood before them.
The clothing she wore was not of this world but more like a deity's attire. Her arms were covered by a dark blue transparent cloth with images of the stars scattered about. The shirt holding it together was black with a white star on the front that seemed to glow. The pants were black and merged into a dark blue as they neared the bottom, stars everywhere. Her footwear was a pair of cloth boots, the color black with dark blue stings lacing them. A golden tiara was gently place atop her head.
" Takara?" Ryoko slowly backed away.
" Silence! You are in the presence of the might Goddess of the Stars!"
" One of you is not being true to your identity..." the mysterious girl whispered.
Silver eyes scanned the area, endlessly searching. Once the gaze fell upon Ryoko, the flashed the color of spilt blood.
" You!" a slender finger pointed in the pirate's direction. " You are a defiance!"
A ball of black magic was hurled toward Ryoko. Everything was happening so fast! It was as if time itself was speeding up. She had no time to react!
" Stop!" the voice of an angel rang.
The blast disappeared and all that was left was a small trail of smoke. The Goddess of the Stars tilted her head in Tsunami's direction before shaking her head violently. The strange action was stopped almost as soon as it was started.
" Forgive my behavior. It has been a while since I've been in my goddess form and it can be a little crazy. I didn't hurt any of you....did I?" Takara's voice called.
No one spoke a word; they just shook their heads no. That was a relief. Something was still bothering the goddess; something she knew had been bothering her since she snapped out of her goddess trance.
" What is it, Tsunami?" she spoke without facing her.
The Goddess of Nature stepped forward, " Who is your real mother?"
' Stop!' a demon hissed within her.
' Tokimi?'
' Do not dare ask her such a question! If you do I swear I will kill all of you! Do you understand me?'
Tsunami smirked, ' Dear sister, you will have to fight us before we can be killed. You see, that is what I was planning!'
Tokimi's scream echoed once Tsunami was finished. This was a nightmare; Tokimi's fear was about to be realized. Tsunami was too stubborn to realize what she was doing.
The demon stood from her spot on the grass.
' Tsunami....you weren't suppose to know!'
A gust of wind blew blades of grass onto the cascading tears of a goddess who was not to show emotion. If she tried to stop her sister, it would be of no use. It would be hopeless; it would never work.
" Tokimi?" the tears startled Chaos.
" They weren't supposed to know!"
" Know what?"
" That I am that girl's....."
A/N: Don't worry....I'm updating on Thurs. if I can pull myself away from Majora's Mask! *smiles* Thanks for the game, Nat! I won't be able to update after this Saturday until January...so I'm making up for it now! Anywho, I think it was dennisud who guessed what was going to happen. My response...not quite. Let's just say the ending to Tokimi's sentence will be very unpredictable! Thanks for sticking with my lousy update times. I'm really slacking off! *kicks N64* It's too addicting! See ya all on Thurs.!
