~*~*~*~*~Blood Thirsty for Revenge~*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~ Haku was now lost and confused. His mind reciting all that he had learned this night and soon to be morning. Still pondering over thoughts, his heart gave a sudden ache of sadness as he remembered the deal he was making with Drake. Chihiro, I miss you, he thought.
The blue dragon slithered over clouds and appeared over the bathhouse where he was soon needed. He flew aimlessly in spirals, gliding towards the top balcony where he landed. Slowly molting back into his formal self he gave a long gaze at the room before him searching for Yu-baaba. But no, there was no Yu-baaba, only a mound of chocolate boxes and teddy bears.
A familiar thumping prickled through his ears then followed by a hurricane of screams. Haku turned in the chaotic sound's direction to see Yu-baaba's son crying at the top of his lungs. Haku glared with rage but did not care for the huge infant's cries and waited for Yu-baaba.
However, Haku did not have time for waiting. He stood up and headed towards the door.
"It wouldn't be wise to leave," said a voice followed by a dozen sniffles, "if mama found out you left me here she would kill you."
The infant had stopped crying enough to talk to Haku. The baby's eyes were red and puffy while his throat seemed all stretched and tired from the mass amounts of screaming.
"Leave me alone Bou, I have business to attend to with Yu-baaba."
"Play with me or I'll order mama to kill you Haku!"
Haku turned around and spoke to Bou.
"Such strong words coming from such a pitiful mind. I'd hoped that an imbecile like you could think of something better to say to me but that would cause you too much pain.
Before Bou could have enough time to decipher what Haku had said, Haku had already made himself out of Yu-baaba' chambers and into the bathhouse. The smell of steam and rich herbs wavered in the air. The scent of flowers, which were strategically placed in areas acting as air fresheners, lingered in many areas warming the building.
Cheers and sounds of laughter filled the bathhouse. This was most unfamiliar to Haku for he knew that the employees were to be working instead of celebrating. And celebrating what, he thought. Running swiftly down the flights of stairs, he followed the sounds of happiness all the way down to the main entrance where he saw... ~*~*~*~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
~*~*~*~*~ It was light now. The sunlight beamed onto the grassy meadows where Ebony hid trying hard to heal her wounds. A white pale light emitted from her hands as they hovered above the ripped flesh below. Time pasted idly as the dried blood eroded back into the wound while the skin reattached its sides to the rest of the body. Ebony was still shaking though. Drake could be anywhere right now so se had to hurry.
Bumble bees flew past her and hummed gently to the bird's chores. Flowers bloomed and emitted the sweet scent of morning dew and wild lilies. Ebony sat peaceful, a bit edgy but peaceful as she watched her wounds heal.
A sudden rush of birds cawing out and flying away from the forest told her she wasn't alone. Ebony cursed darkly. How did he find me so quick?
Ebony stood up and ran. Her lungs ached and protested but this was a matter of life and death. She sprinted through the soft grass and headed towards a river. Ebony cursed once more.
A shadow hung above her in the shape of a gigantic bird, which confused her slightly but didn't stop her from running. Too late now though, Ebony thought as she reached the streaming water. She turned and faced the enormous bird, which stood before her. Dropping now its feathers, or rather blanket it revealed an old lady; her appearances strict but her eyes full of wisdom.
"Dear me child, why so afraid," the elder asked.
"Stay away from me," Ebony spoke, "you're working for Drake aren't you."
"If your talking about the man following you, yes"---Ebony started backing away---"but I have come to help you. Seeing that he has betrayed me and siding with Haku, I have come to help you."
Ebony stopped backing away then started to laugh.
"You expect me to believe you when I know already you hired Drake while getting something out of it," Ebony managed to say amongst the laughter, "what was he to give you for whereabouts of mine. Emeralds? Rubies? Gold?"
"Child please, my name is Yu-baaba, you must trust me. I need you to help me to-"
"Why? After you sent him to kill me?"
"Because I didn't know what to do," Yu-baaba pleaded, "he threatened to destroy my bathhouse and my son, Bou."
"So you rather see me dead?"
"I sent a scout to look after you."
Ebony gasped then revealed the emerald that she had pocketed from the night before. Ebony held out the stone and stared in disbelief. Yu-baaba however, stared at the gem. Her eyes twinkled but were forced to stop once she had seen Ebony's face.
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing," Ebony said quickly, breaking her stare and re-pocketing the emerald, "so? What do you want?"
"I need you to go to the Aburaya, my bathhouse and wait for me there. There's rumors of strange folk coming to this region."
"And how do you suppose I get there without getting slaughtered by Drake?" Ebony asked blankly.
Yu-baaba got out some dust and sprinkled it around Ebony. Heat gushed around Ebony as swirls of golden light and orbs lifted her up. Her senses were mystified as Ebony felt as light as a feather. Before long, Ebony had found herself lifting her eyelids. Colors brightened around her forming pictures, which were soon crystal clear.
There before her was the Aburaya. Without taking second thoughts, Ebony entered the enclosure almost collapsing at the sight she saw. ~*~*~*~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
~*~*~*~*~ "Chihiro!" called out a young woman, "Chihiro its time to eat!"
She walked up the stairs of her gigantic household and knock on a girl's bedroom door. A balding man came walking also up the stair and stood at the door as well.
"What is it Yuuko?" asked the man.
"Nothing Akio, its just Chihiro hasn't come out of her room for a long time."
"Maybe she has homework."
"Maybe."
"Don't sweat about it. I bet Chihiro is all right. Maybe she has a headache or something. Remember when she came back one day and fainted before she could get into her room?"
"I suppose. I hope your right about that."
The two walked off and returned to their daily tasks forgetting to check on their daughter. ~*~*~*~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
~*~*~*~*~ "Haku!" Chihiro spoke before running up to him and giving him a hug, "I've missed you so much Haku."
"I thought you'd never return."
"I've been busy," Chihiro answered before letting go, "school and everything."
"What's school?" questioned Haku.
"Nevermind," Chihiro spoke hastily, "I'll explain later."
At that very moment, an well-armored maiden stepped into the bathhouse and gasped. She clutched her heart and pointed in Haku's direction.
"Um Mrs." said one of the employees, "we don't open until later."
Ebony glared at Haku and ignored the employee. "You!" she screamed, "you tried to kill me! You helped Lloyd at want me dead!"
Ebony found herself screeching out bitter words of hate at Haku. Chihiro turned to Haku with a questioned look.
"Who is she?" asked Chihiro.
"It doesn't matter now," said Haku calmly.
"Burn in Hell!" Ebony yelled out, "you will bring danger to this land and bring massacre upon these spirits."
There was a murmur flooding through the air as the sound of hushed whispers spread like a contagious germ. Ebony's eyes flamed with rage and dislike. She reached for her daggers and through them into the air before catching them while ready to strike Haku. Her eyes filled with insanity as real fire started burning around her. It was blood red before fading into an ice blue. Flames engulfed the maiden and blew away enlightening the new figure.
Ebony stood on boots, wearing raven black clothes armor coated in blue flames. Her black hair flowed in the still air and blew off cinders into the background. A black cape coated her shoulders but without it, the skin would be bare. Gloves coated with silver and bladed with gold. Ebony opened her eyes. Her once hazel coloring was still there but the warmness from them had vanished. She was now a breathing example of the darkness that should not have been tampered with.
"Foolish Haku," Ebony spoke in a chilled voice, "you should have never made a deal with Drake."
Haku stared blankly back but turned fully to face Ebony. Her vibe of darkness melted away the happiness once brightened in the room. Chills ran up and down Chihiro's spine as she looked from the demonic Ebony to her Haku.
"Haku, who is she?" asked Chihiro in a very scared voice, "what does she want Haku?"
"I'll tell you later," Haku replied.
"You better tell her now before I send you in pieces to the underworld realm Haku. Any last words?" mocked Ebony.
Haku couldn't stand this insanity much longer. Slowly he approached Ebony with little knowing of what would happen next.
"Ebony calm down," Haku spoke trying to reason with the raged maiden, "Ebony please, it was to end your suffering, your pain, your depression."
"Don't lie with me Haku," Ebony uttered, "now face death and maybe I'll end your suffering a bit quicker then I intended to."
A sound of shattering glass emitted from the third floor. A black raven had broken into the Aburaya and sweep down to the scene below. The black winged raven molted its feathers off revealing a short, strict lady covered in jewelry. Her face much nastier then it was before as steamed blew out of her ears.
"ALL OF YOU!!!" shouted Yu-baaba, "GET BACK TO WORK. HAKU, FOLLOW ME TO MY CHAMBERS ALONG WITH EBONY. I WANT A WORD WITH YOU NOW!"
"No," replied Ebony, "I will not move until I have killed Haku. He- deserves-to-die!"
"We'll settle this upstairs now GO!"
Ebony glared evilly before muttering something to herself. Very reluctantly though, Ebony turned and headed towards the left staircase. She left in silence as the happiness and warmth filled the room once more. Yu- baaba then turned to Haku who had started to walk before given orders.
"Wait," said Chihiro, "Haku, I want to come too."
"No."
"Please Haku, please," Chihiro begged sounding more like a five year old.
"No, Chihiro now stay."
With those last words, Haku walked away further leaving Chihiro confused and heartbroken. Why would Haku say such a thing, she thought. ~*~*~*~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
~*~*~*~*~ Still lurking within the wood, Drake loitered and walked aimlessly around. He paced back and forth pressing hard on his shoulder, which had been cut by Ebony. Blood dripped slowly from his wound and he pressed on it even harder then before. However, he stopped and let go. A white light blanketed the wound as the blood and flesh wove back together into one.
"Damn you Ebony," he uttered before collapsing under a tree.
Drake shut his eyes, hoping rest but the horror of past memories filled his mind. First of a red dragon, his sword held out at it, then a sharp pain from his hand. Another memory consisted of a young woman weeping at his side, the pain from his hand continued. Until the last memory, the pain had stopped, in the hand's place was a claw.
Drake bolted up and realized how could he have been so stupid.
"Ebony, I know where you are, I will hunt you down and tear you to shreds," he mumbled to himself before sprinting west. ~*~*~*~*~
