Aspera: Alright, time for an update. I want to thank all of you who have
reviewed so far. Honestly, I did not expect so many fans. Anyway, I know
you're anxious to find out what happens next, so here goes. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I, Aspera, own nothing of Blue Seed or this story, besides Regina and a few upcoming characters.
A New Beginning. Chapter Eleven: Sacrifice.
The pain he felt in that one instant was unimaginable. There she stood, the love he was born to protect, his arm blade buried deep in her middle. He pulled his arm free quickly, catching her as she crumpled towards the ground. He gave a strangled cry, "Momiji!!"
Regina stood, as quiet as the day she was born. 'Why had Momiji done such a thing and for her no less...?' Remaining quiet, lost in indescion, she watched the two.
Her blood slipped down his cheek, warm and sticky, as it should have been. His eyes wide, he stared down at the pale Momiji in his arms. Her own eyes fluttered open as she smiled to him, reaching for his hand, whish he instantly took within his own. That sweet voice he knew was now weak and filled with love, "Kusanagi...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, not for the likes of her and yet, I couldn't let you destroy her."
Regina flinched at her words. Her eyes lowered, staring at the ground helplessly. "Am I really that bad...?" She asked it so silently; neither Kusanagi nor Momiji seemed to have heard.
"Momiji," His voice was strangled; lost, "Why? Please, you can't leave me. I'll forgive you, after some serious talks, if you don't leave. Please don't" Momiji's breath labored in her chest as it hitched slightly, "I won't... I don't know how, but I'll stay..."
This was all her fragile mind needed, she surmised, watching Momiji and Kusanagi's pain. 'I can't let her die... she saved me. He would have killed me; I know he would've. I'm just... pathetic.' When she began to approach them, Kusanagi lifted his head away from Momiji's now unconscious form, growling at her, "Stay way from her, Regina! This is ALL your fault!!"
She let her hair, eyes and nails return to normal, kneeling down by their sides. Her voice was normal once again as well, "I'm well ware of that, Kusanagi, and I'm more the willing to make amends... if you will me to do so."
Kusanagi couldn't do it, "No!! I won't let you hurt her!!" She shook her head slowly at him, "No, I won't hurt her." Regina glanced down upon Momiji's paling form and panic to seize her, "You must let me help! She is dying and she will if I do not help! Please!!"
Looking down upon his love's pale form, he reluctantly nodded to Regina, "Alright, but if she dies," His eyes narrowed dangerously, "so do you." She nodded and placed bother her hands upon the girl's pale face; one on each cheek. Her eyes closed.
A slight glow flowed around her as she murmured encouragements to Momiji, telling her to stay alive for everyone's sake. The blood stopped seeping from the wound in her middle, it sealing up silently and quickly. Regina's form shimmered, and then fell back upon the ground, trembling and pale.
Kusanagi glanced down to Momiji, seeing her healthy skin glowing, her poise returned. Then, he glanced to the younger girl. He resented her, even hated her and yet, he silently gave his thanks and thought of what to do next.
End of chapter eleven.
Aspera: Thanks again to all of you. More soon!
