Disclaimer: Sorry! I had a TON of school work to do! Here is the next Chapter, hope you all like it!
Nobody had beaten her before. Nobody, save one person. Oh god, Oh god. Tasuki thought her mind racing, Well it wouldn't be fair to him, but I HAVE to. Amazon laws. OH SHIT!
"I TOLD YOU, YOU IDIOT!" Talim found herself screaming at Tasuki, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CHALLENGE HIM! NOW YOU HAVE TO-TO! MAX HELP ME HERE! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO SHE'S BOUND TO AMAZON LAWS!"
Fenix and Hermonie got what was going on right away, and dissolved into laughter, "At- least- he- won't mind!" Hermonie said, unable to stop laughing.
Ron on the other hand was totally confused. Oh no. She looks pissed. I shoulda let her win. Great Ron just great! You just pissed off the best damn girl your ever gonna meet! SHIT!!!!
Tasuki was stunned. Now that she thought about it she really DID want to go through with it but- "OWWWWWWW!!!" Talim screamed as an arrow protruded from her thigh.
Tasuki swirled to see 10 Death Eaters. Not one of them was Lucius. She took out her golden sword and tessen (she already had her dragon sword, the one that was stabbed into her earlier).
"Fateor Sinus!" Yelled one of the Death Eaters, a man.
The spell was pink and hit Tasuki squarely in the chest. Tasuki's body flipped in the air, as her mind went vacant. She got up, like a confused animal on a bad horror film. She tilted her head, and her eyes were a strange gray.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" Max screamed along with Ron.
The Death Eater smirked, "I cast a spell. In a few seconds she will point out who she wants as a mate, and who she wants to kill. It will be amusing watching you suffer over her feelings. If she has any."
"YOU BASTARD!" Talim screamed, and drew her bow and arrow, and shot him squarely. He dropped down dead, surprised.
Then Tasuki got up, her eyes flaring red, "SHE'S CHOSEN WHO SHE WILL KILL!" Squealed a male Death Eater rather girlishly.
Ron's last thought was OH SHIT I'M GONNA DIE, I'M GONNA BE KILLED BY THE ONE I LOVE!
Tasuki had turned and her hair was on end. Her swords pointed at him, knives losing about her body, ready to be thrown. Her tessen flared up, and waited for those two magical words.
"YOU!" Her voice was so full of hate, and venom nobody moved. Not even the Death Eaters.
************************************************
"YOU!" she said again, then her voice changed to a soft heart melting, "You I love."
Tasuki put her weapons away, and pulled Ron into a kiss that was so deep, and passionate, you could see flowers emitting in the background.
After a while, Tasuki turned, her eyes blazing once again, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"YOU I HATE!!" She screamed at the Death Eaters.
Tasuki threw two small knives at the man who did the girly shriek first. He was only paralyzed.
Tasuki went into battle mode. Her shoulders hitched, and then became straighter, her body became its own weapon. Her hands seemed to break anything they touched. Her eyes took on a ferocious far-away look. Like seeing fire under an ice.
Tasuki held back tears, this brought back all the memories seeing them. These were some of Malfoy's friends. In vain she tried to stop the scars from reappearing. The Death Eaters saw she was weakening. They all knew her past.
Tasuki felt the tears form in her eyes. No, not yet! No, I've gotta do this! She was pleading with herself. She wanted the wolf to come out, even the Demon, anything so she wouldn't have to remember. Gods, I can't Tasuki thought desperately snapping a girl's neck. The blood, the Demon wanted out. Tasuki shoved it back, fear was greater than despair, and Tasuki never wanted anyone to know her secret, just to be an outcast again.
There was only four left living when it happened. 0Tasuki snapped. It was the man that cleaned the Malfoy's mansion. It was the one who showed her around, and gave her extra food when she was hungry.
Tasuki felt something clawing up her stomach, into her throat, clouding her mind. It was guilt. "Go, go Oscar. You can do it. JUST GO!!" Her scream resounded and everyone stopped fighting in shock. They saw Tasuki crumple up in front of a man, he looked Mexican. She was crying. Ron had never seen her cry before, and Hermonie only saw Tasuki cry twice.
Oscar was a handsome looking man, and had a cross shaped scar across his cheek. Oscar shook his head, tears coming from his eyes. He knew she wouldn't kill him, but she might turn him over. Oscar knew it, and so did Voldemort. He did what he was sent to. Oscar removed Tasuki's shirt with a spell. He thrust a note into her hand. And gave a half smile at her, when he saw the infamous hand mark appear on her chest.
He apperated out.
Tasuki just stayed there until everyone had killed all the rest of the Death Eaters (mainly Sirius, Remus and Fenix!) staring at her palm, where the note resided.
Ron was crying too. He had heard her thoughts, but didn't understand them, while Fenix was battling a strong set of depression that was emitting from Tasuki.
Ron moved closer to her. He carefully slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her into a sitting hug.
Tasuki was numb. I want to open this. With all my heart, I want to read this. But if I do... the trap will be sprung. I will lose him. I can't, I'm Ron's now anyways. He wants me, and I want HIM.
Tasuki buried her face into Ron's chest, seeking comfort. She breathed in deeply. His scent was soo comforting. It erased most of her doubts, and all her fears. Her mind cleared.
"I'm sorry. Did I forget to mention I-" but what she wanted to say had to wait. Max had come over, after healing Talim.
"Are you- oh shit!" Max looked mournfully at the note in her hand. "Come on, Don't leave me. If anything don't leave him." Max said pointing to Ron.
More tears rolled down Tasuki's cheeks. She nodded, pushed Ron back slightly, and the note erupted into flames.
Fenix stared. Fire proof, like me. Control of fire, anything else we don't know about you? She teased.
Tasuki looked up into Fenix's silver eyes. Can I trust you?
Fenix's eyes widened Absolutely, anything.
Tasuki smiled Don't scream, and don't tell anyone, not even Sirius, and no matter what you see, never look at me like a monster, or with pity, Please?
Fenix looked into those silvery blue eyes begging someone to help her with the pain, begging for someone to understand. Fenix would have done it in a heart beat, it didn't matter that this was Siriu's daughter, or that they both needed a friend that understood. Fenix nodded smiling.
Tasuki closed her eyes, and so did Fenix. Fenix bit her tongue to stop from yelping. It took only a second to see everything, but it felt like years.
I understand. Fenix said amazed at her history, her troubles, and her secrets. We'll talk later. Fenix thought with a smile, seeing Ron still looking concerned, he was currently looking at Tasuki to see if she was wounded. I suspect you will have to tell your new mate your okay. Tasuki heard the laughter in Fenix's mind voice.
Tasuki nodded smiling, looking better. If she had seen any pity or disgust, Tasuki would have been devastated, instead she saw pure friendship. Tasuki breathed easier. She turned to Ron and looked at him.
Meanwhile Ron was going nuts. Great, a shirt, she needs a shirt. Gods there she is looking heart broken, and I'm worried about her shirt. That hand print, it only appears when she is under a lot of pain, or pissed off, definitely NOT a good sign. What is she saying? HUH? LEAVE NOOO! She can't leave! I'll go with her! Bloody Hell! I didn't know she could burn things with out a wand. Huh? I can't read Fenix or her. What? Why is she looking at me like that. SCREW THIS!!
Ron pulled Tasuki to him, and hugged her tight. Like she was going to fall or something. Tasuki didn't mind though. Ron was whispering something like 'I love you', and 'I'm going with you', or 'I'll always be yours'.
They stayed hugging like that for a long time. Fenix started to incinerated the Death Eater's body's that weren't already gone.
Max looked slightly relieved at the sight of her burning the note. Talim and him went off into a corner to discuss something.
"R-Ron?" Tasuki finally said her voice quavering, hitching her shoulder unknowingly, as if she was bracing her self to be hit.
"Yes?" Those warm eyes just stared at her. Tasuki felt goose-bumps ripple across her arms, down her back, and at her neck. Tasuki braced herself, her other shoulder going up too, making Ron want to cry inwardly.
She gulped, and decided to jump, "Well- I- see-won-and-nothing to do-so sorry-I" Seeing his confused look she buried her face into his neck wanting to disappear, "I love you Ron." She whispered.
Ron felt his world explode. That was exactly what he always wanted to hear. "Ummm, well that's good, seeing as I love you." Ron tried not to sound like one of those gay love lines. It didn't help. Tasuki's eyes went golden, and she looked like she was trying not to jump up and down in joy.
"There is one problem though," Tasuki said looking worried again, but one shoulder came down. "See in Amazon law, which I'm a part of, ask about it later, if a woman, or a girl gets beaten in a contest of battle, she must marry them if they are a man, if they are a women, then I must kill them. You are a man, so therefore we must marry."
"No problem with me, except do we have to get married now? Its kinda late." Tasuki laughed and kissed him.
"We only marry when we want, we just need to get married sometime." Tasuki started another sentence only to stop when Ron kissed her.
Fenix smiled and turned her back. Her mind was reeling. She was trying to get past so many things. Fenix closed her eyes only to hear, Fenix? Are you okay? She looked up to see Remus and Sirius eyes locked onto hers. "I am fine, don't worry about Tasuki and Ron, they are fine." Fenix knew she was lying, but at this point, everything seemed surreal. There was blood on her hands, she didn't even notice. Fenix doubted the Tasuki would ever be okay.
She made a vow right then and there, that she would take care of Tasuki, and Ron, and Harry, and everyone here. She would never turn her back on them, and she would always be there to help.
Fenix must have looked strange when she was thinking these thoughts for both men in front of her broke out in goose bumps.
Fenix cleared her eyes, and hugged both of them, turning to a lighter subject. "Twenty bucks says they have a wedding outside, Tasuki can't stand the indoors."
Sirius looked blank at the word bucks, as in muggle money, and Remus wondered how Fenix knew Tasuki hated the indoors.
Then what she said sunk in "WHAT!? Whose wedding?!"
They walked inside to the warmth, and accepted the hot chocolate the Mrs. Weasley gave them, Fenix explaining what buck was to Sirius, simultaneously explaining Tasuki's predicament and Amazon Laws.
Tasuki and Ron eventually went inside. They snuggled up under the blankets of Ron's bed.
Some time in the late night, when everyone was asleep Tasuki woke up. She wanted out, but Ron's comforting scent made her stay. Tasuki stared at him for a while, smiling slightly. I'm so Sorry. Tasuki unfolded her hand, there yet again was a note, but it wasn't the same note as before, this note was safe to read, just forbidden.
To my Love,
I miss you so much, nothing is the same. I just recently found that you are still alive. They have me engaged to another. She is nice, so don't raid the castle to kill her. Father is the same. He looked so mad tonight. You want to know something scary? I think he really likes you, just in his own demented way.
Bidding his time, Your Love
There at the end of the note was a heart and a drawing of the ring and necklace Tasuki wore around her neck.
If Tasuki was alone, she would have cursed, punched things and wept. Now, all she could do was remind herself there was still a way to save him, and his new fiancée. It hurt Tasuki slightly, but then she realized that there was no way to do anything but be this. She didn't even have a word for them, and it unknowingly kept Fenix up all night crying.
Tasuki had once done that, she once cried for weeks on end on a cold and lonely god-forsaken abandoned rock in the middle of nowhere. Eventually she always saved herself, going on with the rage of her past, and Voldemort to kill.
Tasuki closed her eyes, and Ron pulled her closer.
The silver ring around her neck felt warm. Tasuki hurriedly took it out from under her shirt.
Safe. Was what the inscription now read.
Tasuki willed it to say, I love you
On the other end, a guy (I can't say boy, for he is Harry and Ron's age, and he's not a man either, so ill call him guy for now.) smiled.
The ring now read, White Flag. It was a reference to Dido's song. Tasuki smiled weakly thinking the lyrics over, and agreeing to the meanings.
Met? Tasuki sent.
Not safe.
I will see you soon though right? (Tasuki)
Absolutely.
Good. (Tasuki)
I love you.

Unknown. But even as he wrote this, he sent Tasuki a mental map.
Love you. (T)
SHIT! Got to go!
Be safe. (T)
Love you.
Tasuki slipped her necklace under her shirt, and Ron woke up. "What's wrong?" he whispered.
"Just sacred."
"Of what?"
"Losing this." Tasuki admitted.
"I'll never let you go." Ron said, hugging her tight, eventually they both fell asleep.
