Chapter Twelve



"Stupid girl." Sapphire said coldly as the black light began to surround her again. In a flash, she was next to me, and before I could think, she had my leg in her hand.


The next thing I knew, I was screaming in pain as I heard the sound of my bones breaking. She cast me aside roughly, a broad smirk spread across her face.


I winced as my mangled leg hit the floor hard. As Sapphire slowly started to make her way across the room to me, I looked around wildly.


There must be something I can use...I can't move...I can't think...WHAT DO I DO?!?!??!


In a desperate maneuver, I pulled myself off of the floor, and balancing on one leg, struggled to focus my energy once more.


But something was wrong. Nothing was happening. Sapphire was still walking towards me with that cruel smile on her face.


She noticed my efforts after a moment and began to laugh. "Sorry dear, but that won't work again. You've used up all your energy. You may be able to pick up small objects, but nothing as powerful as me."


I furiously tried to hop away, but to no avail. She was too fast. She immediately started pummeling me in the face and in the stomach so hard that it felt like my body was being torn apart.


As she threw me down on the ground and began to kick my head roughly, she whispered, "You're a weakling. I don't why I ever saw you as a threat."


She pulled me up again and threw me against the rock wall. "You...haven't...won...yet.." I whispered, spitting blood out of my mouth.


She just stared at me blankly and then began to laugh uncontrollably. "You...still...believe...that...you...can...beat...me?!?!??!" She panted between giggles.


As her laughter kept on, my eyes began to wander around the room once more. I hadn't got a chance to before since Sapphire had interrupted me, and I felt a burst of activity in my mind as they fell upon Hiei's sword, which he had dropped.


As I looked back at Sapphire, whose eyes were squinched shut due to her excessive laughing, I knew what I had to do.


Using my last bit of energy, the sword raised slowly into the air. I aimed it straight at Sapphire, who still was oblivious to what I was doing, and like a invisible bow, I launched it straight at her heart.


As it sliced into her body, her laughter stopped immediately and her eyes grew wide. Beginning to choke up blood, she collapsed to the floor.


I crawled over to her and yanked the sword, covered in blood, out of her body, and shot her one last smirk.


"Guess you thought wrong. I won."


I then made my way over to Hiei and Shuichi. Ripping a piece of my sleeve off, I bandaged Hiei's shoulder, which was still bleeding, the best I could. I crawled over to Shuichi, and felt the tears coming back.


"I did it. I killed the one who hurt you. Like I promised I would." I whispered.


I closed my eyes and hugged him tightly. I wished that everything that was happening was just a dream, that I could go back to our long walks to and from school. I wish that I had never learned about Shuichi's other life, The Makai World, and that demons actually did exist.


But it wasn't a dream. And my life was changed forever.


Loosening my embrace, I lay my head down on the cool floor and closed my eyes, completely and utterly exhausted. I was asleep in less than five seconds...


******************************************************************************


As my vision began to clear, I could see that I was in a very familiar place...


"I was wondering if you were ever going to wake up." Lilac smirked, sitting in front of me.


Everything came rushing back at that moment. "Shuichi." I said, shooting straight up, "Where is he?"


"Okay, okay, take it easy, he's right over there." she pointed to the corner of the room where he was still asleep.


I sighed happily. I was relieved that he had gotten out with me.


"And Hiei?"


"Already left." She held up a very small slip of paper between her fingers, "But he wanted me to give this to you..."


I took the paper from her and read it...


Even though I didn't need your help, I should thank you.


Hiei


I smiled and tucked the note into my pocket.


"So," Lilac grinned, " You did it."


"Sure did." I tried to stand up, but fell back in pain as my leg hit the floor.


"You won't be walking for a while, Hyacinth. Your leg is broken." Lilac said, helping me to sit back down.


The pain I felt brought back everything that had happened, and I realized for the first time how close I had come to dying.


I buried my face in my knees, and began to cry. "Oh Lilac, it was...so.....scary...and horrible." I sobbed, rocking back and forth.


She placed a comforting arm around me. "It's okay. Sapphire's dead and hopefully, you will never have to do this again."


As I looked up at her, she smiled. "We probably need to get you and him home. I bet they have search teams everywhere. You've been gone practically a week."


"I guess I'll carry him." She hoisted Shuichi up on her back.


I grinned happily.


It's finally time to go home...
