The Crest Of Death
Chapter Nine: A Blast of the Past
By: PhoniexChild
PhoniexChild – Aurelia Izumi followed the quiet Kyrie Kamiya.
"Kyrie!" Aurelia called out again, hoping the teen would finally stop or slow down. No such thing.
The younger fifteen year old caught up to Kyrie, "Okay," Aurelia took a breathe, "Where we goin'?"
"Go back home, Aurelia." Kyrie snapped.
Aurelia stifled down the counter-snap she wanted to yell out and took another, deeper, breathe. "No," she said softly, but firmly as she found her voice again.
"Ya know what, Aurelia-!" Kyrie started, but couldn't finish.
"Just shut up, Kyrie!" Aurelia screamed out, her anger getting the better of her, "No-one needs your attitude right now! Especially me."
Kyrie just stared at the red-head. The usually calm and quiet girl had just, for the first time in her life, yelled at someone else.
"Did ya just yell?" Kyrie asked, somewhat proud of her.
Aurelia just blushed embarrassedly and nodded.
"Alright!" Kyrie let out a smile, her first since they had come to Earth.
"Really?"
"Yup!" Kyrie turned around again, "Now c'mon, I've got a surprise."
"Naoko!" a young voice called from the kitchen.
Naoko got up from her bed, only after receiving less than an hour's sleep after Kyrie and Matt's conflict.
"What is it?" Naoko walked out into the kitchen where almost all of 'her' children where.
"Look," Koji handed Naoko a sheet of paper. On it was neat handwriting in blue ink.
Naoko read the letter, then it fell from her elderly hands as she whispered, "No!"
The two fifteen year olds weren't out of Tokyo yet, and not even that close really. Kyrie was leading Aurelia to a rundown building.
"It doesn't look safe."
"Course, it's safe!" Kyrie said, ignoring all the warning signs as she walked into the lobby.
"If I die, it's your fault." Aurelia joked.
"Whatever."
The teens walked up the stairs for a few floors, before Kyrie decided to stop. She rushed over to a door and opened.
Aurelia followed, though at a slower rate. As she passed the door she noticed that there was a sign on it, but there was too much dust to read it.
Aurelia sneezed an dust flew up into the stale air.
"Geez! How much dust can collect in one place?"
There was dust an inch high covering the ground.
"Seems no-one visited this place in a while." Aurelia remarked, waving dust from her face.
"Of course, no-one visited here." Kyrie shook her head slightly.
Aurelia looked at Kyrie realizing why no-one had come. "Who?"
"My dad and Aunt Kari."
Aurelia looked around at the old Kamiya apartment.
Kyrie though walked into the TV room, where pictures of her father, aunt, and grandparents stood. She found her grandparents' wedding picture and noted that Reiko had inherited their grandmother's hair. Taro must have been more of the Tachinouchi persuasion.
"Kyrie," Aurelia whispered, causing Kyrie to whirl around.
"What?"
"There's some rooms we can stay in."
Kyrie nodded and the two headed to the Kamiya siblings' old room. The room seemed untouched by age, minus the dust, from before Tai and Sora had married.
"Wow," Aurelia looked at the pictures and other small items that had once belonged to Taichi and Kari Kamiya. "You should take some of these."
"What?" Kyrie now looked at the other teen.
"I mean take some of these things. They should be yours."
Kyrie shook her head, "No. What if someone *does* come up here and notices something's missin'."
"So?"
"Aurelia, ya dun get it."
"Oh, I get." Aurelia turned to Kyrie, "Look, I never knew my parents, but I have keepsakes that were theirs." She sighed, tears threatening to spill, "I think you need something to remember them."
Kyrie nodded, "We should get some sleep."
Aurelia turned away and grabbed her bookbag.
Kyrie felt a hand on her shoulder shaking her.
"Wake up!" a familiar voice whispered loudly. It was Aurelia.
"What?!" Kyrie got up and threw off her covers.
"I found out something!"
"With what?"
"My laptop."
"Do ya net whizzes ever sleep?"
"Not now." Aurelia let out a weak smile, "But look." She handed the laptop to Kyrie.
"If this is 'bout my parents I swear I'll kill ya."
"I think I'll live then."
Aurelia was quiet as Kyrie read the entire document, which was at least twenty pages long.
"Holy shit." She whispered when she finished.
"Ditto that."
"Is it true?"
"If it didn't have a basis in truth it wouldn't be on the hard drive." Aurelia reasoned.
"What do we do?"
"Find out if it *is* completely true."
Kyrie nodded.
Okay, ch. 9 is done. Now I ask u the loyal readers dis. A vote (@ least 5 ppl need 2 vote). I cant tell ya a lot, sorry. It'll give away 2 much. So should I do a major change or stay @ the steady pace? Dats the vote. Change or stay. Please vote. I would update dis story til d'en cause I need 2 no what ya want.
