Chapter 16. I think my hopes were too high for the first sex scene I've ever written. *sigh* I really didn't want to go too into the *cough* "motions" and *cough* "noises" because this is PG-13 after all…Oh hell, I'll make the next story "R". Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sona fought against her own mind to stop the changing, but it was too late. Amara has transported them into these dark woods that seemed to glow with evil.
~~~~Welcome to the Black Mage's Forest~~~~
Sona's conscience was Amara now, and she told her just to walk on.
Twigs broke beneath her weight as she treaded down the overgrown path. The air smelt of decaying tree stumps. Nothing was welcoming in this place, and when you thought you saw a bird it ended up being a bat with two inch fangs looking for a meal. Stranded in a strange world once again. It was suddenly cold. So cold.
Snow started pouring out of the sky. Quickening her pace, so she got warmer, and two foot blanket already had covered the ground. The snow fall halted, now just sprinkled down upon her head. She trudged on but stopped when her foot rammed into something. Slumping towards it, she removed the snow covering it.
It was tombstone. Her index finger dug out the snow that had filled the words. "Taei Seta ".
"Taei? Could this possibly be my father's grave?" There was no date. No phrase like loving father. Nothing.
She sat there in the freezing snow staring at her father's grave, asking him questions in here head. Buried beneath her was the man she always wondered about. When she was little she fantasized about her father rescuing her from the horror of the mansion, but he had somehow died before he ever got the chance to.
The man was a complete mystery to her. She now knew his voice because of his visit, but she didn't really know what he was like. Sona wanted to think he was a perfect man with no flaws, but she didn't even know his last name until now.
"What are you doing here?" an older woman's voice asked from behind.
Sona shot up to see the short old woman with silver hair and orange eyes staring up at her. She was about five foot, and had a pleasant face.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I was just…" she started as the woman cut her off.
"What are you doing by my son's grave?!" she demanded. A look of familiarity crossed the woman's face, and she backed up slightly. "Who are you, child?"
"S-…" Sona caught herself mid sentence and replied, "my name is Amara."
With eyes completely focused on the girl, the woman stared into her eyes. "You, you're the spitting image of him."
"Uh…" Sona sighed. Who the hell was this woman?
"Your neck. Same scar as you Granddaddy." the woman's lip quivered. "But how did you get here?"
"I brought myself here, I guess." she stared at the places where the pentacles had been.
"You've obtained your transportation ability. Your so young…how? You'd have to be completely grown up to accept your powers." The woman shook her head with bewilderment.
"I guess living through what I have made me older…" Sona mumbled.
"Oh dear, here I am going on, and you don't even know me." the woman blushed then introduced herself, "Koru Seta. If my guess is correct, you'd be my granddaughter."
"Uh…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now after talking to her Grandmother for about an hour, she began to tell her about her powers… "Because you have two different demonic forms, things will be much harder on you. Controlling your emotions, your strength, and trying to keep sense of reality. In the end it might just be easier to center on one form. At the moment you have sheer brutality, the one you said took over when you were fighting your half brother. And there is the cocky, but sharp form that transported you here."
"If you happen to call upon your powers, you might not know which side you get. I think that's why you were brought here. I can help you. I'll teach you how to control your powers, and summon the demon side of you that you wish for. But there is but one problem. One of your forms is from your mother's side. It might betray you." Her Grandmother shook her head with a doubtful look upon her face.
"You honestly think that you can help me?" Sona asked.
"We might as well try." the woman said smiling.
~~~~~~~~~~Three Days Before Sona's 16th Birthday~~~~~~~~~~~
Koenma had his people searching everywhere for Sona for weeks now, and the search seemed hopeless. She had disappeared without a trace, so there wasn't a thing to go on. As far as Hiei. He was a wreck. First she vanishes during their… "alone time"…and now there was no sign of her coming back. Every night he would stand in her bedroom staring at her bed. Longing to hold her just once more. To just say good-bye.
Little did they all know what had possessed her to leave. Why had Koenma pushed her away from the life that she had grown so in love with? Now the 16th birthday of the girl who came to Tokyo running away from the horrors of her past, loomed only three days away. The final test would come. And she would obtain a new power that no one could possibly imagine.
So far, Sona's grandmother had be training her to arm her demonic abilities. And she could change by will. Being with her only living relative was wonderful. She told her stories of her father's battles. What he was like. How much he would have loved to be with Sona. Or should I say Amara. The name was given to by her father and since he was the only one who seemed to give a damn about her, it look as if it would be the right thing to take her birth name. Yeah, she was still very confused with the whole him going into people's dreams and fucking with her life thing, but he didn't screw over her life like her mother did.
~~~~~~~Koenma's Office~~~~~~~
Hiei is leaning against the wall of Koenma's office wearing a black and red suit like Kurama usually wears. He has a look of disgust on his face while Koenma talks.
"You see, you and Sona can't be together because that's not the way Fate intended things to happen." Koenma ended his big speech.
"Are you done?" Hiei asked glaring at him.
"Uh…what do you mean?" Koenma noticed the homicidal stare Hiei was throwing at him.
"I mean are you through giving me this bull shit?! I'll be with whoever the hell I want to be with." Hiei spoke angrily.
Koenma, to put it simply, looked shocked. Hiei had never felt so strong about something. "But the Fates don't want…"
Hiei stepped forward now at a roar and said, "The Fates can go to Hell! Its my life, not theirs, and I plan on living it however I want to."
"Hiei is right." a voice says from the doorway. Sona steps in wearing a white ceremonial robe.
"Uh…" Hiei looks at her.
"Your back. How did you get here?" Koenma asked.
"Transported myself. I've been harnessing my powers, and it seems I've progressed to where I'm a pro. So, you can't keep me off Earth because of my unstableness. I'm perfectly fine." Now under the light of the office you can see that the dragon scar has almost completely disappeared. She has an ambience surrounding her, like she has matured.
"I don't believe it…" Hiei sensed her power and looked her up and down.
"I can't understand any of this!" Koenma bangs his head against the desk several times maiming himself into a dazed condition.
"It'll all be over soon." she smiled.
Hiei found comfort in her smile, and they reunited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Balcony of Koenma's Office~
Koenma decided that they would stay at the palace to keep an eye on them. Now Sona and Hiei stood on the balcony and watched the floating souls flounder around in the setting suns.
"So, your calling yourself by Amara now?" Hiei questioned.
"Yeah. Sorry to cause confusion." she directed her attention downward.
"I'm glad your back." he leaned in and kissed her cheek.
Now her head began to split with agony. She had been having head aches for quite a while now. Things were triggering it. Not that she would know.
"I learned how to touch without paralyzing while I was gone. No more gloves." she looked at her hands, going on through the pain.
He stared at her lovingly and the pain grew stronger and more intense. It hurt all over now. She couldn't hold on like this.
Gasping for air now on her knees screaming, Hiei was franticly trying to help her, but there was nothing that he could do.
Blackness surrounded her, and with one last breathe, her final test was underway.
