Author Note:
Erg... I know, I'm getting worse and worse at updating. I keep meeting writers block and schoolwork or some other infuriating disturbance. X.x Please bear with me!
Chapter Note:
This chapter is NOT present time. It's before Hiei was found in Yusuke's backyard. Also, it's sort of Mukuro/Yomi based. As in... not very juicy -.-
Okay... here's the deal. I don't like Mukuro or Yomi that much. And, I love to torture all characters... so... angst. ;x. Again.
~*~
You have taken back the promise
That you spoke so long ago;
Taken back the heart you gave me-
I must even let it go...
Where Love once breathed, it falters,
So I struggle, but in vain,
First to keep the links together,
Then to piece the broken chain...
~*~
"I've never met someone I feel so comfortable with..." She whispered, stroking his hair.
He didn't reply, his lips were pursed tightly.
"Hiei?" She stopped her caresses and looked down at the demon.
"...Hn."
"Hiei... I..." It was very uncharacteristic of her to be shy.
He stared at her intently, amber eyes boring into her one seeing one.
"I feel as if I can give myself to you completely..." She murmured into his ear.
"I think I feel the same..." He replied, after a long pause.
There was an uncomfortable silence, which was broken by her wavering voice.
"Hiei, I am afraid." She whispered again. He looked up at her, eyes filled with an uncertain concern.
"Hn?"
"Will you abandon me as all others have?" Her arm shivered as she exposed herself to him, letting him see her fears.
"Nani?"
"I am afraid, Hiei... I am afraid that once I give myself to you... Once I make you mine, you will find another. And I am afraid, Hiei... I don't think I could let you go..." He was silent once again, for a long moment. Then he parted his lips.
"Only time will tell, Mukuro..." She smiled down sadly at him as he reached up and tried to kiss her reassuringly.
"Time..." She whispered again.
"I love you, Mukuro." He managed.
~*~
"You promised..." She whispered, tears threatening to fall out of her one seeing eye.
She was leaning on her door, standing directly before it, her back on the wood, as if to keep any intruders out.
Her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"You..." No, he didn't... A voice reminded her softly.
-"Only time will tell..."-
"I gave myself to you..." She hissed, accusing the darkness, the light, anything.
-"I... I love Him..."-
"You were mine! " Her breath was coming short as a tear sprang from her eye.
-"Gomen..."-
"I told you... I told you I couldn't let you go..." She was shuddering, the door moving slightly from her desperate grasp on it.
-"The Love I had for you was different, Mukuro..."-
"Why? Why him? Why not me? " Her voice started to rasp.
-"For him... he... he is the first that makes me want to change... that makes me think it's okay to change for someone else..."-
"You're just like the rest of them... just like them... but... why...?"
-"With you... with you it was just..."-
"Why does it hurt so damn much...?"
-"It's just..."-
"I loved you... I love you..." Her eye was glinting, her fingers making indents on the petrified wood door. They left deep crescent gashes on the door, as if a curse, a warning.
-"Lust."-
"I love you..."
-"I love Him..."-
She fell to her knees, pounding at the stone ground. The stones turned to pebbles, dust in place of the earth.
"Damn you... Damn you..." Her body was shaking as the dust settled.
"Damn Him... "
~*~
"It is all falling in place, Osa." The koorime bowed respectfully at an aged Youkai.
"Good... Just as Shadow's Child said... now to recruit our bionic child..." The Osa was staring into an ice pool, tapping her fingers on her hip as it swirled. She watched contently as the half fleshed one was betrayed. As she cried and cursed Him. As she played right into her hands...
"What of the other Ruler, Osa?"
"The blind one?" She asked bluntly, watching the pool intently.
"Yes, Osa." Her lips curved into a smirk.
"He will be coming along shortly..."
~*~
Oh how wrong can you be?
Oh to fall in love was my very first mistake
How was I to know
I was far too much in love to see?
~*~
He growled.
He had never felt so... blind... since he'd lost his sight.
He felt so emotionally... driven.
His mind was pounding.
-"I love Him, Yomi."-
How clear and certain that voice had been. He growled again.
-"I will step down from being your Heir, Yomi. You have no need of me any longer. You have Shura and I have no desire for power."-
All for Him?
Even without his sight, he could somehow 'see' how serious those emerald eyes must have been. He could feel... feel how certain he was.
That there was no chance for him.
-"Goodbye, Yomi."-
Again? He dares leave me again?
-"Find someone worthy of you, Yomi. I am not the Youko you fell in love with..."
But you are..
-"He is no longer here..."-
But you are him.
-"I am sorry."-
And I can't have you...
He clenched his teeth, still biting back the urge to yell, to kill, to see blood. His fingers flexed on their own accord, his blood itched to kill something.
To kill Him.
"Damn you..."
~*~
The Osa was alone in the room now, still staring at the frozen pool. Her eyes were glimmering gleefully as she heard those words uttered by the blind Lord.
The Pendant began glowing, flashing between amber and pitch black.
The Osa smiled.
"We have most of our pieces in place..." She whispered to the Pendant gleefully.
It flashed brighter for a moment as if in approval.
"Soon... Soon our little fox will meet his Angel again... Our Shadow Angel..."
~*~
I am not a Devil from Hell,
I am just a Shadow...a mere Shadow...
But you should always fear darkness more than Fire...
For you can feel Fire...
You can escape Fire...
But Darkness...
Darkness is inevitable.
~*~
Mukuro was slumped against the wall, face passive. Her hands were cut, bruised, bleeding. The ground before her was in much worse condition.
Her mind was wandering, only intent on one thing. Only thinking of one thing.
I want him... He is mine.
~*~
Yomi tried to keep calm. His breathing was deeper than usual and he was leaning against a wall for support, his sightless eyes were wrenched in internal anger.
He will be mine. But how... how will I make him be?
~*~
The wind burst into the room, the window shattering. Mukuro's eye barely moved to it. An obviously weak Youkai stalked over to her, head bowed.
"Mukuro-sama... I have a proposition."
~*~
He felt the air moved and swerved around. His senses picked up a weak youkai, which, if he hadn't been so emotionally distressed, he would have noticed long ago.
"What is your business here." He growled. He was itching to kill whatever it was. He wanted to feel blood on his hands.
Even if it wasn't His blood...
"I have a proposition for you, Yomi-sama..."
~*~
Mukuro stood up, her sense awakening. She took her kata and glared.
"I have no business with a Youkai like you." She replied, about to slice its head off.
"Don't you want Hiei-sama?" It almost sneered as her defensive position faltered.
~*~
"A proposition?" Yomi repeated.
"Yes... it may be of some interest to you..."
"How so?"
"Do you not desire Youko Kurama?" The messenger's eye glinted as Yomi's expression changed to one of consideration.
~*~
"...I'm listening."
~*~
The Osa laughed at how easily the Rulers were following the tracks she'd set for them.
"Just a bit longer..." She whispered.
The Pendant grew darker. It seemed satisfied.
...Except for one faint glimmer of white.
~*~
End Chapter Seven.
Wow... I am evil. So much angst. (Though, considering the characters, I don't really give a damn ;x)
Egh. I cannot believe I wrote Mukuro/Hiei... I think I might be sick...
R&R Onegai! No flames!
