Just Like You
Part XII
Revolutions
Part I
Hotaru sat in the cool morning air at her captor's feet curling tighter in the blue sheets. She shivered as the chill ran it's icy fingers over her body. Her eyes drifted up to where Juu was scanning the horizon seemingly waiting for some one. The tall teenager stood so perfectly still as if he was the statue of a god. His gaze appeared to go on for an eternity. She studied him. Had she not been with Trunks, had she not know what he was capable of, had she not known what he did, she could've had feelings for him. In fact she did have feelings toward him just not the strong love and need she had toward the saiya-jin prince. Juunanagou was an enigma. Even before she had used the silence glaive on him she had sensed a great deal of sadness from him. To her it had almost felt like regret. The time he'd almost robbed her of her innocence he had told her she could be his innocence.
"You're dying to know about me.." He drifted without even turning to acknowledge her presence at his feet. "You want to know why I act the way I do."
Hotaru nodded slowly. Her curiosity was perked by the way his voice had sounded. Genuine empathy towards her captor shown in her eyes as she spoke. "I do. I want to understand everything about you. Obviously I can't though. I am just like you though." Hotaru looked at the ground quietly. "Juu.....You told me about yourself once. Before I used my scythe on you, I was informed of what you were like when younger. You told me what your father did."
"I don't want your pity! I'd rather you ran that scythe through my heart." Juu cast an icy glare at her. "I act the way I do because I am perfection. I was given a chance to get rid of those disgraceful memories. I was given the ability to kill without remorse." He kneeled down to her level. "I won't hesitate to kill you if you get in the way of my plans." He snapped his hand out and caught her chin roughly. "Hotaru, you are indeed desirable. I could easily have my way like I did before." He smothered any response he might've received from her with a violent kiss. "It isn't as fun though if you don't struggle."
His soft whisper sent a chill through her bones. Hotaru closed her eyes blotting out the mental image she got from the last time. "Juu, I want to save you." She bit her lips nervously. "I will give what I have left to heal you."
At that moment Juunanagou had never seen Hotaru look that beautiful at any time. Her soft face was burdened with the saddest of expressions, lush dark lashes rested lightly on tear-stained cheeks. Her body was vulnerable, trying to hide within the depths of the cerulean sheets. Juu's eyes graciously held her. This was the true power of a goddess. At any given time she could appear more beautiful than the first star of heaven, and her heart could be more forgiving than the world. This was indeed a true goddess. Juunanagou would have cried had he the will or the ability to. Even though she was like him in the sense of being synthetic, she had the glow of the heavens upon her.
"You can't save me. I was already offered my second chance, and my third. Leave it at that." His cold fingers brushed through her amethyst locks. "Hotaru don't get in my way. This will go my way." The cybernetic boy look almost regretful.
In that instant that he touched her, she could feel it. Waves of pain hit her crashing over her like the Tsunami caused by the great she dragon Leviathan. That instant flow of feelings and emotions rolled into one crashed against her mind and rendered her helpless. Her hand clutched at her heart. Never had she felt the pain of one who wanted so badly to die. The searing was unbearable. It hurt so much for her to feel his desire for death. It felt like the brand of a hot iron melting through her core.
"Why do you want to die?!" she yelled hoarsely. "Death offers you nothing in return. Ultimate solace. Believe me I know. I've never been alive." Her eyes filled with tears. "Once you die you can never come back because you have died in the presence of Saturn."
"Hotaru, I am not needed here. I've destroyed and wrecked lives. The ones I loved could not even hold out against the insatiable lust for power. I need to die before the yearning gets worse." His lifeless eyes seemed to hold a spark of humanity. "Please don't get in my way. This is the only way a synthetic human can be free."
Hotaru cast her eyes at the ground small crystalline tears falling freely from them like melting icicles. "You really believe that?" she whispered. "Do you really believe that death offers the only true freedom for beings like us?" Her soft purple gaze fixed on him. "You're wrong."
"And you have something to live for." He tipped her chin up. "The world can keep turning without me. In fact it's probably better that way."
For once a genuine smile crept across the teen's lips. In his hour of waiting for his demise he seemed truly happy. The responsibility he put on his shoulders now was to ensure his freedom and in some way hers too. He thought bad to the lavendar haired beauty he had ruined. Juu's thoughts went through every possible way to tell him he loved him so much that the obsession came from it, but he decided against it. Love was only to be told at the moment he would die and Hotaru whom he loved greatly for her beauty, for her forgiving spirit, and for being like him would be able to piece the life of the prince back together again. And so he waited. Eyes stretched up towards the sky waiting to see that beautiful face of his destroyer. His final flight. He waited.
A/N: okay this is the first part of the finale. Sorry about it being short. Sorry seishi for taking forever to get it up. Anyway this is the beginning of the end.
