The Wing Goddess Chapter 17
Kari's Point of View
My dreams were plagued with dark nightmares. Nightmares of the deaths of my friends and family. Nightmares of what could happen to me. This time I was all alone in a long infinite hall of tall mirrors. Each mirror held a story, or a retelling of someone who was close to me's fate. I walked up towards what looked like a door but I was frozen in my tracks at the first of the mirrors as a demon thrusted my head towards the mirror forcing me to watch. It was Christina I realized as I tried to shut my eyes to block my sight but I wasn't allowed to; my eyes remained open and focused on the mirror. She was running somewhere I wasn't sure where. But I could tell she was being chase, she was scared as she stumbled and struggled to pull herself up again. I soon found a cloud swirling around me full of some sort of gas. It was intoxicating as its contents filled my lungs, its smell sweet and refreshing, as I finally was able to close my eyes I smiled. But when I opened them again I realized that I wasn't in that hall anymore. I was Christina being chased. I quickly picked myself up and ran unsure of where to but as far away from whatever was chasing me as I could get. I ran until I could run no more and stopped for a rest after figuring that I was ok at a clearing in the woods near a river. I sighed with relief realizing that I was safe here. I noticed a small river running not far from where I sat and I got up walking over to get a drink. I knelt down and cupped my hand full of water bringing them to my mouth and letting the refreshing liquid fill my mouth and quench my thirst. I smiled as I took the water to my hands again and splashed some on my face. I looked down at my reflection in the water just out of curiosity. I blinked a few times finding something strange about what I was looking at. My reflection blurred changing to that of a face with light skin and sharp fangs. Petrifying blood red eyes were accented with dark lashes and horns protruded out from its head. I was confused and I screamed as a hand with long nails grabbed me and forced my face into the water. I struggled, as the demon held me down underwater. Most people suggest staying calm so that you could save energy but I couldn't. My worst fear was drowning and here was a demon trying to do just that to me. As I finally broke the surface gasping for air my head was forced back underwater, only this time the demon had turned me so I was on my back so that it would be harder to resurface. I struggled again, and surfaced gasping for air. The demon was getting fed up and finally just took out a knife and stabbed my chest. I screamed as I felt the blade pierce me. I had always heard that being stabbed was bad but I didn't realize that the pain was this horrible. The demon feeling unsatisfied with just stabbing me thrust my head under water one last time until I only remained laying lifeless in a blood stained river with a knife stuck into my chest. I opened my eyes again. I was back in the hall way but something was different. I noticed that it was hard to breath and blood stained my shirt. I continued on anyways hoping to reach the exit. This time I was able to pass a few mirrors until I was stopped again and forced to watch the events replay. It was Joey. Only Joey wasn't running, he stood, his blond hair swaying in the wind, in a fighting stance as a tall and slender demon approached him. I suddenly noticed the cloud again as I was unable to stop myself from inhaling its sweet gas. I now found myself standing where Joey had been, I was Joey.
"Come over here and fight me! I'm not afraid of you! You don't scare me at all!" I challenged. The demon smirked a bit as he muttered something that sounded like
"Stupid human, you don't stand a chance." Under his breath.
"What was that speak louder!" I mocked him
"I said you're weak and it won't take me long to kill you!" The demon replied this time within earshot.
"We'll see about that." I said smirking after all, I was tough, and no one was going to stop me. No demon, no human, no one. I readied myself into a defensive stance but quickly changed to offensive as he motioned for me to attack. I charged at him and with everything I had I let out an assault of punches that would have given any normal human a concussion but I was shocked as he just stood there yawning as if nothing at all were happing. I stopped with my mouth gaping in surprise and my eyes suddenly becoming full of fear.
'Laura....' I thought, I hoped that she was all right that none of this was happening to her. Ever since Kari had disappeared everything had gotten weird and I didn't know why. But this had to be the scariest moment of my life as I stood in my best defensive stance trying to act calm as this demon prepared to attack me.
"Don't you know? I bite back." The demon said with a laugh and then I felt like I was being stabbed all over my body. I fell to my knees as I watched the 'spines' return to the demons body as if nothing had happened. I could feel blood creeping up my throat as I began to feel light headed. The last thing I saw ever was a demon laughing at my face as I fell over lifeless. Once again I opened my eyes finding myself back in that hall of mirrors. I noticed that my clothes were covered in bloods as I feel to my knees and began crying. I didn't understand what was going on but I wanted it to end, I wanted to leave this place. But I was trapped for eternity.
"LET ME LEAVE!!!!" I screamed with tears running down my face. I shot up in a cold sweat shaking with fear. It was dark and I was alone. I was scared and didn't know what to do so I panicked. I jumped out of my bed and raced down the hall to Koenma's office crying hysterically and uncontrollably with fear. I became even more panicked and scared when I found no one there and then I continued racing down the halls screaming and crying out for anyone to come but no one came. I was alone.... I was alone and scared. I woke up crying hysterically in a cold sweat panicking as I shot up in my bed.
"Hey its ok, what happened?" I heard a voice say I was too busy panicking and crying to notice that it was Koenma holding me in a gentle embrace.
"The...they kill, they killed Joey and Christina! An...and I was in this hall... with these...m..mirrors and I had to .....I had to live as them when they died.... A..and then I woke up here alone and no one was here.... I was so scared..." I manage to get out between sobs.
"Shh its ok it was just a dream. Don't worry that didn't happen." He said while hugging me. He rubbed my back gently trying to get me to calm down. I just sat there crying in his arms for a few minutes before I finally calmed down to the point where the tears had nearly stopped.
"Ko...Koenma? I'm scared...." I whispered quietly.
"You can stay with me tonight ok? And then tomorrow we'll take you to your hometown to visit your family and friends ok Kari?" he replied gently. I nodded as I got out of the bed still clinging to him tightly as he led me to his room. His room was painted a dark royal blue with dark wood furniture and a bed to match. I was surprised that it was just a normal bedroom and nothing extraordinary like you saw in celebrities' homes. He tucked me in and wiped my tears.
"Don't worry I'm here for you." He whispered as he kissed my temple and I fell asleep. He got into the bed with me on the other side and wrapped his arm around me just to make me feel safe. And it must've worked because I didn't have any more nightmares that night.
***
I woke up to find myself empty in the bed as I rolled over to see what time it was.
"11:30 in the morning" I mumbled and started to fall back asleep.
"11:30 IN THE MORNING!" I exclaimed as I shot up in the bed. Had I really slept so long? Koenma said we would visit my family and friends today and I already wasted half of it. I shook my head in disbelief as I made the bed and hurried to my own room. There I showered and dressed, not bothering to do anything with my hair, just letting it dry naturally. I headed down the hall, trying to act like I wasn't excited or in a rush and ran into Hiei.
'Great just who I wanted to see.' I thought letting my sarcasm slip into my expression as I glared at him and rolled my eyes.
"What's your problem ningen?" he asked of my attitude
"It's staring me right in the face, something short with black spikey hair." I snapped
"Hn." Was all he said.
"If you got something to say then say it to my face!" I snapped at his lack of response.
"You're a weak ningen, who complains, and whines, and who can't even get through a nightmare without crying for her mother." He replied bluntly.
"What did you say?" I asked him, my attitude was flaring again.
"You heard me." He said quietly. That was it, I had had enough of his criticism and rude remarks about things he didn't even know of. I lunged at him and punched him square across the face, leaving a good mark.
"Is that all you've got ningen? You're weaker then I thought." He mocked as he hit me a few times and then sent me crashing into a wall. I got up and rubbed my head gingerly.
"HIEI!"I exclaimed and with rage marched up to him. I picked him up by the collar and he just laughed at me. I wanted to kill him right then and there. I glared at him angrily and then set him down walking away towards Koenma's office with some bruises and a very unhappy demeanor. Despite of what had just happened I walked into Koenma's office smiling and happy as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry about over sleeping Koenma sir. I didn't mean to. I left the room clean." I said with a bow.
"Its ok don't worry about it. But please don't call me Sir Kari, you know it's not like that between us." He said as he looked up.
"So if you don't mind my asking, when do we leave?" I asked
" In a few hours. I have some work to do, and Yusuke and Keiko met with your mother and friends. She says your brother is coming home from college and your friends are coming over as well. Though they think you were just in Japan this whole time." He said as he continued to stamp his stacks of paper.
"Ok, sir. I'll come back later. Thank you for doing this for me Koenma sir." I said
"Kari, you really need to kick, the sir habit. You're the first person who has actually done that to me naturally who has no need to." He said with a sigh as he lifted up his head to look at me.
"Sorry si... I mean sorry. I'll try harder not to do so." I answered. He was right it had become habit for me to refer to him as Sir, or Koenma Sir, and not just Koenma. I laughed in the back of my head, remembering that it was also a nervous habit of mine as well.
"What happened to you Kari?" he asked of me. He must have noticed the bruising from Hiei.
"Nothing, I just tripped. I'm not a morning person... even at 11:30 I'm still clumsy." I replied smoothly.
"Ok, take better care of yourself, you don't want your family to think that your getting beat up all the time?" Koenma said with a smile as if he knew I was lying. I felt guilty, but Hiei was my own problem to settle, it had nothing to do with anything else. I decided not to let him attempt to dig any farther and bid my farewell for the time being. I headed back to my room. I decided to take a bath and then afterwards I could bandage the few of my wounds where Hiei managed to draw blood and or cut my skin. I turned the faucet for the hot water and let it fill as I gathered a towel and some clothes to change into after I was finished. I finally stripped of my clothes and folded them to the side and then got into the tub of warm water after turning of the faucet. I just let myself sink until my hair was wet and my head rested on the back edge of the tub. The warm water felts so comforting against the sore spots on my body as I closed my eyes drifting off to sleep without even realizing it. For the first 15 minutes or so I seemed relaxed, and everything felt fine. Until I could feel myself slowly being pushed further and further underwater. Figuring I had just slipped I tried to bring myself up so my head was above the water again. I just barely got there before I felt my body being thrusted under the water and held down as I struggled to break free from whatever it was that was holding me down. I could feel myself loosing air, and consciousness as my sight began to turn black. I couldn't hear much anymore and I felt my lungs tighten from the lack of oxygen. I honestly thought I was going to die until I heard the door open. I quickly sat up gasping for air as I realized that whatever it was that was holding me had left right when that person opened the door.
"Are you ok Kari?" Botan asked of me.
"I'm fine, everything's alright here Botan." I said as I was still trying to catch my breath
"Ok then, Koenma says he'll be ready in about 15 minutes." Botan added
"Thanks Botan." I said with a smile
"No problem, I'll see you in a bit." She said and left me to be on my own again. No sooner had she left was I draining the water and drying myself off. I wasn't going to take any chances, whatever that thing was, it tried to drown me, and I didn't want chance that happening again. I sighed hoping that it was just my imagination as I dressed and fixed my hair into a ponytail, and then clipped it up with a hair claw. I took one last look at the tub before turning off the light, shutting the door and leaving. I was never going to take a bath again. Shower maybe, but no more baths.

"Nothing, I just tripped. I'm not a morning person... even at 11:30 I'm still clumsy." I replied smoothly.
"Ok, take better care of yourself, you don't want your family to think that your getting beat up all the time?" Koenma said with a smile as if he knew I was lying.
