The Wing Goddess: Chapter 16
Koenma's Point of View.
We were all relieved to receive word from Hiei that he had found the two girls and that they were safe as I, along with the others, made my way to where we were supposed to meet them. I sighed, I wasn't sure what I was going to tell Kari after what I had let happen to her, but I just hoped that she would listen to me. I didn't expect to feel this way, but I guess my heart ached in a way and it confused me very much.
"We'll we're here. They should be here any minute now." Kurama reported. And he was right because only a few minutes later the two girls and a cloaked figure, which I had assumed to be Hiei appeared from the forest. I noted how Keiko had run up to Yusuke and embraced him as she almost started to cry in his arms. I was then surprised to find a crying Kari clinging to me tightly as I gently returned her embrace.
"its ok don't worry I'm here." Was all I could mutter, even if it was the stupidest thing to say after abandoning her and letting those demons get her in the first place.
"Yusuke it was horrible! Poor Kari! They were so cruel to her and she refused to let me get involved just so I wouldn't get hurt." Keiko cried.
"What did they do?" He asked in return. I decided to listen, as Kari might not want to tell me these things herself.
"They only fed us once a week, and every day they would come and beat her because she wouldn't tell them something that she wouldn't know about unlocking the Wing Goddess' power. But I feel so bad for her because after she wouldn't talk, they only beat her even more!" She cried in his arms. I noted a look of shock from Kurama and Yusuke which quickly turned to anger and then I found myself looking down at her, feeling more guilty then I had ever felt before in my life. It was all my fault that she had been beaten like that. If I hadn't been such a child and let them take her none of this would've happened. I held her tighter against my chest as she cried put then she started to pull away. I forced her to look me in the eye.
"I'm so sorry Kari." Was all I could manage, even though there was so much I wanted to say, that was all that came out. The others thought I was apologizing about all of that having to happen, but I was really apologizing for saying all of those things and letting the demons take her away in the first place. She wiped her tears and ripped her arms from my grasp all while giving me a look that said,
'I'm sorry but sorry won't cut it.' before walking away to where Kurama, Keiko, Yusuke, and Hiei stood. I felt so hurt, but she was right, I had deserved that, especially since it was all my fault that that happened to them in the first place.
Kari's Point of View.
We returned to the Reikai palace and I was greeted by Botan's comforting arms as I started to cry again. She offered to have a chat with me in my room and I accepted as we headed down the halls. I sat on my bed next her and fell back, smiling as the mattress comforted my aching back and muscles.
"I'm so sorry about everything Kari, I know this is Koenma's fault and all but I think he feels really bad about it." She said.
"I know but what does that change? Him feeling guilty doesn't change the fact that I was treated that way, but him not acting that way might have changed that." I replied. I truly wanted to forgive him but I didn't know if I could. He told me right to my face that he would rather see me dead and killed in the slowest most painful way imaginable and now he begged for my forgiveness?
"It's all so confusing Botan." I said speaking my thoughts.
"I know. Sometimes life is confusing. But you know Kari he truly is sorry. I think if he had the choice he would give his life for you, and not because of your status of the wing goddess, but because of who you are, because you're Kari." She explained.
"Everything is so confusing Botan. I just don't get it. Especially Hiei and Koenma." I answered.
"What's so confusing about Hiei?" she asked.
"Well don't tell anyone but remember that night when I snuck out and then came back and told you about what happened?" I asked.
"That was Hiei?!" She exclaimed almost as if the whole world could hear.
"Botan! But yeah it was him. But what I don't get is that Hiei hates me! He'd kill me if he ever got the chance!" I replied.
"Maybe he just acts that way. Or maybe he's in denial about caring about you?" Botan asked.
"But didn't you just say" I stopped myself realizing that I was jumping to conclusions; she had never said that Koenma loved me, so why was I thinking that she did?
"Didn't I just say what?" she asked
"Nothing I just imagined something that's all." I quickly replied. There was a long silence before either of us spoke up again.
"Botan....." I began nervously
"Yes dear?" she asked in that tone that she always had towards me, as if I were her little sister.
"K....Ko. Koenma..... does he you know.... Like me in any way?" I asked with a shaky voice.
"Not that it matters of course I was just wondering." I added quickly so she wouldn't suspect anything.
"Aww now I know why you're so confused! You love him! In fact you love both of them but you aren't sure what to do! How cute! Oh and of course, I think he likes you, actually I think he's quite taken with you if I may say so myself." She replied with a smile
"I don't know really.... I like Hiei but it just seems strange, and not in that way. It just seems like a fantasy or something like that you know? Something that won't happen and never should. Kinda like all the crushes you get on the celebrities when you're a teen." I answered.
"I see what you mean. And I understand what you are getting at. I kinda think that he might feel the same way you know? Not that he doesn't care but, it might be something like you're feeling. That you think you love him like that, but maybe your heart is playing tricks on you." Botan replied. I nodded in agreement.
"I'm not gonna say anything though about that kiss. Instead I'm going to act like I didn't know it was him. I don't want to hurt his feelings." I said quickly.
"I think that's a good idea. Well Kari I have to get going. But you should rest up when you get the chance; you never know when we'll need you." Botan said with a wave.
"Ok, bye Botan.... Oh and thanks!" I yelled as she walked out of the door with a smile acknowledging that it was no problem and that I was welcome. I sat for a few minutes before Koenma entered my room with his head held down with guilt as he sat at the chair that faced my window.
"I know you probably won't accept this Kari. But I really am sorry for what happened but mostly for the things I said and did to you. I was being really childish when I said those things and I regretted them the moment they left my mouth and those demons had taken you away. I wish I could have gone back and changed it all so I would have never said those things, and instead saved you from those demons. But I guess I learned that I made the wrong choice and I think that that wrong choice just may have cost me what I longed for most. I'm sorry Kari." He said as he started to get up to leave.
"Wait.... Koenma, wait." I said as he turned around. I patted the spot on the bed next to me for him to sit and he did as I asked, though still with his head held low in guilt.
"Koenma, I think I owe you an apology too. In a way I deserved those things, maybe not all of them, but some of them. I was being very rude and selfish when I ran away. And then I just spat at your face with so many disrespectful remarks when you came to bring me back. You had every right to do what you did after I said those things. So Koenma.... Will you forgive me if I forgive you?" I asked hopefully. He thought for a moment.
:"Of course. But Kari I still feel bad about everything. You know that don't you?" he asked me.
"I know but I'm ok. I'm here now and that's what matters the most isn't it?" I asked
"Yes it is, you're right." He replied as I saw his face lighten up a bit as he brought his eyes to meet mine. In my head I was thinking
'Kiss me you fool.' But of course that wouldn't happen, that would just be like a little wish I had that wouldn't come true just like every other wish I had. I was caught by surprise when I felt his soft, gentle lips against mine. It had been as if he had read my mind as I wrapped my arms around his neck and he rubbed my sides lovingly all the while letting his tongue explore my mouth. I thought I was in heaven, this time for real as he placed small soft kisses along my neck and when he got close to my ear he whispered,
"I love you" just so only I could her before her continued to kiss my neck and then returned to my lips. They tasted so sweet and I lingered for more but then I stopped realizing what we were doing. I pulled away slowly saying,
"Koenma we have to stop."
"Ok. I understand. I have some work to do anyways. You should get your rest." He said placing one last soft kiss on my temple and then he exited.
I had a bad feeling that I had hurt him, as I realized that he had told me that he loved me but I had said nothing in return as I fell asleep for the first time in two weeks in the soft sheets of my bed.
Authoress' note: all right, please review! Another thing that wasn't quite planned but I figure Koenma deserved it seeing as he doesn't get as much love as he deserves! PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
