Lady of the Fairies
by Keruseyu
Chapter 13
===
Alone...
The thought was painful... yet bliss.
If she were alone, she wouldn't put anyone in pain.
But if they remembered her... She would still worry them.
In a blinding torrent of love, pain, and sorrow, Kira forced herself to awaken.
===
Kira's eyes searched the room. There was no one to witness as she left the room through the window, which she closed firmly, running through rain that was still pounding the sodden earth of Tortall.
Dashing through the maze of gardens, she found herself in a deserted copse. Thick trees, filled in between with undergrowth, framed the small, stone-paved sphere of ground.
In the middle was a ring of unpaved grass. A marble statue stood there.
Kira came closer, gazing at the stone. "Here lies Yukimi no..." She stopped, choking back a sob of recognition. Flowers grew around the spot. Kira gazed at the statue, which was of Yukimi. She traced its face with her fingertips.
Regret, laced with pain, slammed her emotional barrier. She drew back, kneeling on the pavement, sobs shaking her body. This was nothing compared to her short weep in the courtyard of her memories.
And now, in this copse, it hit her.
All the years, holding back the ache that had plagued her, asking the painful questions she had avoided.
Who had she been in the human world? Who was she now?
And the most important of all.
Why?
Why did she agree to become a fairy? Why hadn't she remembered her human life?
Why had she caused pain... pain to others?
Within Kira, a voice spoke. She was stupid to have taken up being a fairy. She should have questioned Alice. Why did they not give her back to the human world?
They had known. She recalled the sorrow in Alice's eyes when she began to cry on her first day in Fairy world.
Not just sorrow.
Recalling the memory, she slammed a fist into the ground, shattering the pavement.
Pity, guilt, anger at herself. All these had been there in Alice's expression. Any being the fool she was, she hadn't noticed. Hadn't realized.
Kira punched another hole in the pavement. She ignored the pain lacing up her arm from her bloody and probably broken fingers.
Power flared from her body. Kira let it take control, let herself be raised by her uncontrolled magic, strengthened from emotion.
The had dared to use her. They would pay. Pay for using her, taking her from her loved ones.
They had hurt them. And she would not let that be allowed.
A giant warp formed in the sky. Her wings shot out of her back, renewed by her anger.
She flew through the warp, green eyes yellow with emotion.
She carried the power to bestow upon her enemies death... And death was coming.
===
Neal, sitting beside his window, gazed in amazement as a green-haired figure flew through the gigantic warp of power. Kira.
Grabbing his old sword off the wall, his feet carried him to the source of the light. He jumped into the fading range of her power, grabbing on with his own magic.

yaaay! New chappie!!!
