Temple Grounds
chapter 8:plenty to go back to
::telepathy:: "speech" //thoughts// /lyrics/
Ko-Enma blinked, looking at Yusuke with a look of confusion stamped on his face.. "Who?"
The raven haired tenn rolled his eyes, "M.A.R.U. Maru, the guardian? You know from the temple?"
"But..." The demi-god fell silent.. He then jumped up shouted to George who was standing nearby, "Ogre! Go get the file that was on my desk!"
Beedy black eyes tossed a confused look, "Which one?"
"The black one you idiot!"
"Oh, the Missing People file?"
Ko-Enma answered with a death like glare...
George needless to say was out ond in with in the two minute mark.. Holding a rather sad and crumbled looking file... "What's that thing?" Yusuke asked. "Ogre, look and see if there's a file on 'Maru'?" Flip.. Flip... Flip... "Sir... Yes but the case is almost 17 years old.." George said handing the folder to Ko-Enma, who began reading the page... With short sentences aloud..
"Mother-unknown, Father- Togasha Sayushi... Missing shortly after birth.. red-gold eyes, brown hair, red bangs, marks across back..." Ko-Enma stopped, "That Maru?"
Yusuke and Kuwabara were speechless.. However short lived that may have been. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````
"My lord, may I ask why you wish to dispose of one so young?" Grey eyes flashed but he fixed a bland look on his face.. "Because of the trouble's that 'child' can cause." He answered bitterly.. He ignored the small bundle clutched in the old woman's arms.. Her hawk yellow eyes bright though her features were worn by time..
"Surely she could be taught.." The old woman began but he cut her off.
"NO! I won't have a worthless half-breed knowing who her parents are. It's best if she just vanish and..." He fell silent, grey eyes flarring in anger.. But his wrath only prevented him of speech.. But nothing else..
"Have her die? Disspear? Or be killed? You are her father, and as for the mother.. She isn't here anymore to take care of her.. Though I doubt that exuses you from even carring for her for Sarania's sake!" The old keeper was giving him an ear-full.. Though little good it did..
"You want me to care about that thing because I slept with the mother?!"
That.. Was..Wrong...... Everything... It was all wrong...
The keeper was vivibly ruffled.. Her priestess clothes not hiding it.. "It's people like you.. That Cause the Anago Temple to have to deal with such things... Though I had hoped I could save atleast one child.. But you only see a strong and heathly baby as a burden.. So you're sentencing her to death.. Or atleast of life of it!"
"If that wretch that gave birth to her were still alive it would be different!" He roared back.. Not carring that round, frightened, red-gold eyes were watching him intently.. Not aware of the deep pain that was knawing at her.. He didn't care...
"Would be different..." She shook her head.. "I'll leave.. But remember.. Should the time come when she begins to understand more of the world which you're silencing her from.. She'll know that all you had to say just came out of your mouth.. That you'll willfully kill your own flesh and blood.. And just when I had come to tell you what the Telellu thought of her..." The old woman turned on heel and started to walk out of the great hall..
He blinked, "What did that dragon say, Suna?" His voice was heavy.. Was there remorse there? Keeper stopped, thinking, then she said in her old and ancient voice as she walked out.. "'She will be a great person one day Suna.. Perhaps greater then the seed that bore her.. But she shall have a troubled path.. That she will..' That's what the very power of the god's said about your daughter.. What she said about Maruka Sayushi.." And that name woke Maru up from the dream.. ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Red-gold eyes opened... She stiffly tried to rise... Biting back the internal urge to vomit.. The Telellu.... The thing that had left the marks on her back.. Maru knew what was there.. Two black streaks.. Just along her shoulder blades parallel and going downward.. Each about 10 inches or so long.. The keeper or Suna had said that several years ago..
//So that's why.. He must have sent the wolf to kill me, kill Suna, distroy the temple, to do everything to stop me? But from what? What am I that scares him so badly.. // She looked along the darkened sky as she stood.. Then walked fore a few minutes until she reached the stream.. She crouched there, removed the happi coat.. then splashing water over her skin and the strap that served as a bra, began to think..
What was going to happen now? She had to get to see this Ko-Enma.. Maybe he knew who this Togasha Sayushi was.. Then, she'd kill the bastard herself.. Her mother had died either after or maybe durring her birth.. And he had called her those things and talked as if she were a thing.. A simple item he'd had a 'romp' with.. It would figure.. But then again she had been right.. She was the product of two mates.. But she had assumed both were still alive.. And had disposed of her in either an agreement, or mayhap the mother's choice.. But go figure it was her father.. And a lord or something at that.. Wasn't life just peachy?
//I swear.. What happened to simple paths I had to follow to kill tresspassers...? Or what about the old lessons..// Maru smirked, good old Suna always had had a lecture ready and waiting for the never listening guardian.. But what the hell that had been life.. Fighting day in and day out so she could survive and proetect those very grounds.. The same ones that Suna had called, the lands that shall bind thy power forever.. But it hadn't.. Not in reality.. Maru was here, outside those lands, outside the life she had gotten so used to.. She was free....
"We all have our single place in this time.. It can be anywhere we feel a strong connection to.. But no matter what the reason or circumstance-we have that place.."
//Those words again.. I wonder.. I wonder if that's one of Suna's saying's.. Sounds so much like her...//
"Anything wrong?" It was short dark and handsom again..
Maru shook her head, not bothering to look for him.. "No.. Just.. Thinking over what I'm going to do.."
/The moonlight
Shines down in stellar beams.
And the groove tonight
Is something then you've ever seen./ "Hn?" Maru gave one long sigh.. "I've only got so many choices now.." She laughed a small tired one and looked at her reflection.. The mark burning on her right cheek.. "It's weird how in a way.. I've got nothing to go foreward to.. But plenty to go backwards to.." ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````` Okay.. I have no idea what was wrong with me when I wrote this so please hold any questions.. I'll try to answer them I promise...
