Eternal Snow
Chapter Two
Last Unicorn's Curse
Sesshomaru picked up Fiona with his one arm and walked to his study setting her down onto a futon. He grabbed the scroll he had been reading before. He had a hunch that this had to do with the curse. He searched for where he'd stopped:
...When safety is near, it will stop.
Many years later, an evil demon who often manipulated the lives of others, placed another curse upon the unicorn demon. The most distinct feature of them, the horn, was the weapon. When it is touched, its victims pasts thoughts, memories, and actions transfer to the unicorn demon's mind. In other words, it's similar to mind reading...
He stopped as he turned back to Fiona. Her breathing was heavy and fast. She had just experienced over sixty years of a persons life in a split second. She knew his secrets, his feelings, his weaknesses; everything.
Fiona's lips began moving without noise again. Tears formed in her eyes again. He kept his eye on her as she slowly began to talk.
"Your life... so, sad. So... painful. Jealousy over your brother... hate for your enemy... and deep affection for the little girl who you look at as if she were your daughter."
He had to strain his ears to hear her voice. It was almost a whisper. She spoke slowly, but clearly. Everything about her seemed to be innocent.
"You've... felt love... once, toward a neko, *neko youkai, Kouran. It was... short. Not, not exactly romantic... you... didnt love her after... after the war... began."
He felt anger rise up at the thought of those wrenched cats.
"Are you finished?" he asked coldly. Fiona sat up leaning slightly forward. Her iridescent hair spilt over her shoulders. Her eyes trembled as the green glow on her spiraling horn grew. She suddenly fell over and held her left arm tightly and screamed.
Soft though her voice was, her scream made his heart ache. He realized she was experiencing his past pain.
He turned back to his scroll reading on. A few minutes later she had stopped. Rin cracked the door open with tears in her eyes. She walked over and dropped her kimono making a few apples fall.
"Sesshomaru-sama? What is wrong with Fiona-sama?"
Sesshomaru set his scroll down and replaced it with an apple.
"Se-"
"*Urusei."
He stood up and turned around.
"I do not know what is wrong with Fiona *Hime."
"Hi... me?"
"Yes."
Fiona sat up slowly holding her arm still.
"So much pain..." she whispered.
Sesshomaru watched as she stood and limped toward him. AS she lost balance she turned her head so her cheek hit his chest not her horn. She began speaking in a language he didn't know. She placed her soft hand on his left shoulder as her tone quieted.
She slowly stopped as a green glow emitted from under her hand. The next second the whole room flashed a bright green. Rin screamed and ducked her head.
As quickly as it had come it was gone. Fiona fell limp as she slid to her knees. Sesshomaru took her into his arms before she hit the ground.
"*Nani?" he asked himself while looking at his arm. The arm he'd lost. He looked back to Fiona as the glow left her horn.
