Blood Lust: Chapter IX, Drawn From Heaven
There was light everywhere... blinding light. He almost didn't open his eyes. It doesnt hurt anymore... Where am I? Finally, small slits opened and he looked side to side. Clouds? He sat up now... He was still in his black clothes. Placing his hand on his chest, soon he discovered there was no blood to be found on his hand or clothes... "Did I really die?"
"DING DING DING!" He turned his head quickly to the sound of the voice, where a hyper active arch angel, her hair raven colored and eyes bright smiling. "Welcome to Heaven Heero Yuy, I am the Archangel Hilde."
He glared at her. Then sadly starred down at his feet," I failed them..."
"Not quite." Her happy voice ringed in again.
She stepped down from the high pillar she was sitting on and opened her palms, there a book opened," You are welcome to stay if you like Heero, however, you death was not planned, nor was it right. Well not planned by us but probably by the big guy. Anyway, since such happened, the giver is able to summon you back."
"That girl?"
She nodded," Yes... she was specially chosen for this task." The pages turned on their own as Hilde raised her hand, a feather quill came into her possession. "Will you go back Heero Yuy?"
He got to his feet and looked around...This place seemed nice... safe and warm. But that wasn't his style," Are you kidding? It's not obvious?" He looked over his shoulder at her and she smiled, "Very well... Heero Yuy, you are hereby released from Heaven."
And suddenly the light grew brighter and everything disappeared. He felt like he was falling back down to the earth.
The ball of light in Tamara's hands grew brighter, and hot with energy. Then she blew on it and it shot like the others into Heero's body. Every opening of him grew bright with the same color of white, from his eyes to the gash in his back. Suddenly, He ghasped with breath, and felt blood in his veins, coughing a bit at first. Then he caught his breath and slowly opened his eyes. The light disappeared.
Wufei stepped back," H-How can this be?" He looked at Tamara with a glare," He was dead! I am to be victorious!" And he began to run at her. She turned quickly," And you Wufei will be punished with my curse." She held out a hand and blasted him with a beam of light. He fell down landing on his back as eyes glowed the same as Honey's had.
She looked up recognizing such behavior... Duo as well. "What did she do to him?" Quatre's calm voice rang out,"...She .... Returned his soul." Honey blinked and Duo helped her to her feet. She put her hand on her chest... a heart beat... She smiled and suddenly turned hugging him tightly and overcome with joy.
With no idea, what she was so happy about he just hugged her back, blinking in confusion. "Even if Wufei's soul is returned. I have a feeling this isnt over." Duo looked towards the others then at Wufei lying on the ground.
"Instead of death in hell Wufei... You will live with a soul... and the guilt of all you have done..." Tamara stepped back, then looked to Duo, Quatre and Honey. She extended her hand as a sign that they should come over to them.
Heero pushed himself to sit up," Heero don't-"
"It's alright Relena..." He looked over his shoulder at her... then she glanced at the wound... it was healed and the blood was gone... she starred in amazement
He smiled at her and turned to help her up, eyes looking straight through her. And she knew, he was dead... but somehow, Tamara had drawn him from heaven. A new hope was alight in her heart as he wiped away tears from her eyes with the pad of his thumb. "It's not over yet Heero."
He turned and saw his sister who had gotten up and stood only a few feet away. Alarmed, he drew a dagger and held it, the tip to her throat. She didn't do or say anything... Just looked at him with great remorse in the depths of prussian blue eyes. "You have plenty right to hate me... I tried to kill you. Wufei darkened my heart when he found me and stole my soul away... but when it was given back to me... visions told me the truth of that night..." small tears began to form at the corners of her eyes.
Reluctantly, Heero lowered the blade. "I'm sorry Heero..." then she dropped to her knees, holding her stomach like she was going to be sick. Her heart fell into remorse and pain, remembering all the blood she shed and all the people she hurt. She wanted him to kill her, just take the silver in his dagger and stab her in the back like wufei had done to him.
"Get up..." Her eyes widened. Slowly she lifted her eyes to meet his. "What?"
"Get up." She waited a moment... then rose to her feet. "Terry, you were my sister once... you still are." Blinking, for the first time in her life since her child hood, she smiled. She really smiled. They seemed to have a new understanding of each other. And also a new unbreakable bond that held there.
Both turned to a sound behind them. It seemed Milliardo and Relena has made up as well. Hugging like close brothers and sisters tend to do. Relena was happy. Everyone was alive, and she had her brother back... but, Things were far from over.
Duo, Honey, and Quatre, ran to join the others, when the whole vampire palace began to rumble. Wufei sat up, holding his head as memories of everything he had ever done, flowed back in. His heart dropped... he was a monster. A sickening feeling came over him as he heard a familiar voice calling through the halls. "Heero Yuy..." The voice was male... it called again. "Heero Yuy..." The halfling took his sword from it's sheath and walked to stand protectively. After all he had gone through to get here and get Relena back... He wasn't going to let who ever that was fuck it all up.
From the shadows, they heard the distant clack of shoes on stone. His grip tightened to the blade, anticipating what he sensed to be evil. Duo prepared as well, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead as he drew a silver dagger. More shifting around was heard as the hunter's prepared themselves and Wufei got to his feet.
It was soon, that the source of the noise stepped out; black cloak hanging down to his ankles and white hair shoulder length. Relena starred at him, but only a moment, then looked away. This man was pale as white paper, his hair matched, and his eyes were the most dreadful of red. His clothes were as black as the night and a silver sword visible to his side. A cruel grin slowly crept across his face, as he looked at Heero. fool he thought to himself with the most confidence.
Marikka looked on to him in horror... this couldn't be true, there had to be some kind of mistake. Slowly, she walked to him. Trowa moved to stop her yet she pulled free of his grasp on her arm.
Her heart was pounding in disbelief," ...but... you're... you're dead..." She raised her palm and cupped his cheek. He smiled at her," My dear daughter..." As he placed a hand in her hair, starring into her eyes. Like he was looking into her soul. Trowa stood back, a bad feeling running through his veins. Something wasn't right.
"Seems like everyone's coming back to life..." Wufei gave an untrusting stare to Marikka's father. "There was a reason I killed you Kishko..." He smirked a cruel smile, and slowly embraced Marikka," My dearest daughter... You've fallen in love..." Her eyes widened as tears came to them. She never imagined she would see her father ever again... when suddenly she heard his deep voice again," die..."
****
"THAT DIRTY BASTARD!!" Hilde was screaming as she watched helplessly from heaven, the hunters and the true king of vampires. "Calm yourself Hilde..." Dorothy said in a superior tone as Noin looked on. "It seems the prophecy has given a new twist..."
Sally Looked at the other arch angels with pleading," Is there nothing we can do to help?"
"NO! FOR THE LAST TIME!" They all shouted unanimously.
****
Marikka's eyes shot open, and a searing pain ripped right through her mid-drift. Tears spilled from her eyes as blood coughed out her mouth... such a blow would kill her, now that she was once again mortal... she became suddenly very weak. "MARIKKA!" Trowa yelled in utter horror as he dashed like the wind to catch her falling form.
Trembling, she fell back into his arms and he hugged her close, frantic," Marikka! Marikka don't you dare close your eyes!" Her breath became quick, as she starred up into the blood red eyes of her father. And he back down at her. This was the man that raised her, that mad her who she was, that taught her how to be noble and pure of heart... yet dark. "W...Why?" weakly, her voice shook as she spoke.
He merely grinned," I am disappointed in you Marikka... falling in love with a mortal...You are useless to me now... being one yourself" she starred in shock of his words. Her father was never like this. He must have come back from the very chambers of hell to act this way. And to put her in such pain.
"So it is true..." Wufei came closer. "You were resurrected by the fates... I should have sealed your ashes when I killed you."
Kishko drew a black dagger and sent it flying at Wufei. "Maybe so... then you wouldn't be dying right now." He couldn't move in time, the path of the dagger was to quick to avoid. It imbedded into him, stopping his breath a moment.
Wufei fell back, the black dagger in his chest and suddenly he could no longer feel his legs, "What sorcery is this!?"
"Vipa... Vampire poison... How dramatic, a father forced to kill his children..." he looked at Marikka, her weak expression of pain starring back at him and Trowa, glaring with a lust to kill. "One a disgrace... the other..." he looked to Wufei. "A trader." Wufei tried to talk back, but found his voice was immobile as well. He fell to his knees, unable to move. Vipa was a poison to vampires that ensured a torturous death of three days long... there was no cure besides the touch of a giver... yet, no giver would heal him.
He was scum and he knew it... Kishko looked towards Heero. "And the famed half-ling.. much has been said about you." Heero only narrowed his eyes.
"And I take it you want me dead as well?"
Kishko smiled, almost cheerfully... yet still twisted. "Your assumption... is correct." And Kishko dashed, suddenly right infront of Heero, only but a few inches away, and made a slash towards his middle. But Heero was quick as well, stepping out of the way and at the same time knocking Relena into Terry. "Get out of here, all of you!" He commanded, as he drew a sword. Suddenly a loud clang rang out, a black blade against plain silver.
"It's no use half-ling... you'll die here just like my children."
Heero smirked," That's what they all say." And in amazing feet of strength, threw the vampire king back. "Get out now!" He yelled at his colleges... yet none of them budged. "We're not leaving you to fight alone Heero!" Said Honey, as she loaded a silver tipped arrow and fired at Kishko.
As it was expected, the simple attack missed. But Tamara looked on... there was no way that Wufei or Marikka could fight, and Trowa would only be distracted. Milliardo was in no shape to fight either, and Quatre... she couldn't let him stay, it would be too dangerous.
She looked at him, full of worry... then her mind was made up. He looked back at her in curiosity as she kneeled in prayer," Holey father, hear my prayer, protect those I love, those I trust, take them away, safe and sound, the injured, the weak, the helpless, take them away from here, those I name, Wufei, Milliardo, Marikka, Trowa... and Quatre." A light began to glow.
Kishko looked to Tamara and found her attempt to bring the others to safety... endearing... He took up a dagger, "You all die here with me." And he threw it at the praying girl. 4 of those she had named had dissapeared, but one remained. Her magic could not be finished as Quatre dove to her pushing out of the daggers path. Both tumbled to the floor in confusion and disorient.
"Quatre what are you doing!?" Tamara looked at him and started to check for the dagger, assuming it had hit him. But the blonde just smiled and looked at her with tiring eyes," ... I told you.... I'd protect you with my life..."
Her eyes began to spill tears... She saw the dagger has ripped into his arm. It wasn't fatal if she would have time to heal it but... he was willing to sacrifice himself for her.
***
"What the!?" Trowa looked around with Marikka in his arms... home... Tamara had sent them all home. Milliardo looked around the head quarters of the hunters home. It was the same as it had been when he... died. He looked at Trowa," what happened?" Trowa at first said nothing. He gently lay Marikka down and started to head behind the front desk. He had to bandage her wounds... and he had to figure out how to get rid of the poison within Wufei. "That girl Tamara... she's a giver."
Milliardo blinked," ah... like you I take it?" Trowa ducked under the desk, pulling out a few boxes with bandages and other essential things. "No... not like me... she's a high archey one... I just heal." Then he stepped out from behind the desk over to Marikka. He held a hand over her middle, and a glow started to emit... This was why he was so pure. Why she had been so attracted to him. Marikka was attracted to light like a moth to flame.
Slowly, the gash began to heal, and close. But that wasn't all Trowa had to do. Calmly now, he found her uncontious as he wrapped the bandage around her still, mostly to reduce the chance of the wounds opening again.
He stroked her hair back... then leaned down to place a light kiss on her lips, glad that she was safe. That she would remain alive as long as he could keep her safe. Then he heard the thrashing about of Wufei's torturous death. He looked over his shoulder to the former 'vampire king'.
He didn't want to do it, but he knew he had to... Then he stood and began to make his way over to the thrashing souled vampire. Milliardo starred curiously as Trowa kneeled. Wufei was holding his head, it felt like it were splitting. Sweat poured from his brow as he rolled left and right, yelling out in pain. His body gave the illusion that his lungs were being crushed, and his gut were being ripped out with a dull knife.
The hunter slowly reached out a hand, touching his index finger to Wufei's forehead... slowly his pain started to die away. His body was obsorbing the poison. Sweat was lifted from his skin as he starred back at Trowa, still breathing hard. "You should have let me die... after all I've done..."
Trowa shook his head. Then stood and coldly said," Your right... I should have." and he sauntered away, gathering Marikka into his arms and starting up the stairs.
Ironic... the same bastard that killed his mentor, his second mother... now he was saving his ass. Milliardo looked at Trowa with a hint of laughter within his eyes. "Typical isn't it?"
Trowa smiled a little as he was walking up the stairs," what ever are you talking about?" Strangely, humor was found in this situation by the both of them. "Well we can't just stay here..." Said Milliardo, as he walked near a window," looks like hell out there."
Trowa stopped atop the stairs,"... We'll go back... but not now." and he kept on.
***
Heero ran at Kishko, bringing his hands out and in a fist of anger, yet strategy, he struck his face. Stunned he fell back, holding his face with one hand. Heero growled and brought his sword up in front of him, awaiting an assault... "This is now between you and me... let the rest of them go."
Kishko smirked," You forget... your in my world... so I make the rules." Suddenly the whole room went dark, Kishko disappeared in smoke, and the floor fell away," HOLEY SHIT!" The only words, heard, they belonging to the braided hunter, as all fell into darkness.
He felt nothing was going to catch him... no fear was in him because of the fall... the fact they were all being separated again is what scared him most. Suddenly his back slammed onto something hard. Floor? Blind to the darkness like a bat, he sat up opening his eyes. There was nothing to see, a cold laugh surrounding him. He rubbed his head... that fall hurt like hell no matter how much he hated to admit it. "Fuckin' vampire spells..." He muttered to himself.
"Heero?"
He blinked... a familiar voice," Relena?" He moved, but his body ached as he did. "Yeah.."
"Where are you?" He asked the black. He heard shuffling around "Relena?"
Then a scream. He got to his feet and in a heartbeat began running. He couldn't see a thing, and relied on all his senses to avoid objects in his way. He followed her, the sound of her voice and her scent. "Heero!" Not again... DAMMIT NOT AGAIN! IM NOT GOING TO LOSE HER AGAIN!
He drew his sword, not holding it in front of him but to the side. His heart was pumping with fear of what had happened to her, was she being hurt? Was she sick? One of the first times he had experienced true terror.
***
"Ugh...." Honey sat up holding her head," fuck that hurt..." She leaned into her knuckles, cracking her back. She opened her eyes... then blinked twice. She still couldn't see anything. "Oh shit I'm blind!"
"That would make two of us, shut the hell up..." She growled, hearing the all too familiar voice of Duo.
"Alright, so it's just really REALLY dark... where are you Duo?"
"In your dreams my precious!" He said only trying to push her buttons.
"HOW CAN YOU JOKE AROUND IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS YOU STUPID SUNNOVA FUCK!"
"RELAX! Yeash..."
Duo lit a match, alighting the room... They could see each others faces now. "You know... if we live through this... you're a dead man." Honey grumbled at him. She smiled toothly," Yeah, I know." The bickering two got to their feet looking at their surroundings.
"Looks like were in some kind of cave..." Duo said, lifting the lighter to look around.
"Yeah... wonder where the others ended up..."
He shrugged and turned around coming face to face with another person. But this wasn't a person... A skelington? "IYAGH!!!" Duo dropped the lighter, having been scared by the collection of bones.
"YOU IDOT YOU DROPPED THE LIGHTER!"
"Oh sorry..."
They were amazingly quiet now... "Hey Honey?"
"What?" She snapped back at him. Then he reached out finding her hand and pulling her towards him," We wont be lost for long..." For some reason. He couldn't quite tell... but she was smiling at him.
***
She stirred in her sleep, back acheing... just getting her heart and soul nack and she was already threatened with death. "Heh... figures..." She mumbled to herself, pushing to sit up. She held her head and looked around... There was no dark around her... She was in a room with silk pillows and sheets. It looked like a Arabian palace. "How? Where am I?"
In her few years living in this world, she had never been here... "You don't remember this place do you Terry?" She whipped her head to look to the source of this cold voice. "Kishko..."
He stood from a plush throne and starred eyes of blood into Terry. "Do you remember? The day you came here..." She glared at him. "You all told me my brother had left me to die..."
He nodded and started to walk towards her. "And do you remember what you told me?"
"Those vows are dead Kishko... I am new again... I'm free." She stood up getting into a fighting position, drawing one leg back and fist up. "Why take me away from my brother Kishko? Why us?"
The king of the undead merely stopped before her... smiling. "Because... Your brother was the chosen one of the prophecy... I not only wanted to destroy him... I wanted to drive him mad... All the mind games I have set for you two..."
"NO MORE GAMES!" She screamed at him and thrust her fist to hit him. Yet he merely moved aside, and punched into her stomach. "Now now, be calm young one... That poor dirty soul will drive you to your point soon enough."
Her eyes twitched with pain... she was human again, such a blow hurt very much. "Then why don't you just kill me..."
"Silly, silly girl... what would be the fun in doing that?" He let her drop. Then walked away from her. "Why separate us again..."
He turned looking over his shoulder at her. "What?" like he hadn't expected that question.
"Why separate us again?" She didn't look at him. Just held her injured stomach, laying in a heap on the ground.
Another smile of malice formed. And Kishko continued walking away, "You find strenth together... And you all have a weakness... love... Your brother will die Terry as well as your new found friends... but you.... heh... you will not be given that luxury... " He looked back at her," Your sanity will betray you once your alone... I won't forgive you for your treason."
Terry brought herself to sit up, still holding the pain of her gut... "I hate you..." She muttered, coughing a little. "Bastard I hate you..."
