OMG! So Sorry guys! I'm a procrastinator... Actually I got sidetracked with my old fic that I'm redoing to make it ten million times better! (Thorns or a Rose, G Gundam it sucked ass believe me I wrote it in 7th grade time for an update and makeover now that I'm a freshman in high school) Can you believe it? This fic is almost over! Only a few chapters left! Wow! I'm actually going to finish a fan fiction that'll be a first! (Really it will) I don't know what the length of this chapter is going to be like. If it's short I'm sorry I'm trying! Who knows maybe after I finish this and Thorns of a Rose: revamped, maybe I'll redo this one and improve on it. (I've been reading through "Thorns of a rose" and I'm thinking to myself... "What did I write here? AHHHHH GOTTA FIX THIS!!!!" lol. Eventually I will improve upon this fic, it will take time though! So keep your eyes peeled. But until that day let's actually get the story finished first!
Botan: Chelz doesn't own Yu Yu Hakusho sadly.... but I think it's for the better.... she doesn't know business in the end she'd probably kill us all.... Oh well Chelz does own Kari, and her family though!
Chelz: You know sometimes people don't know when to shut up....
Botan: I wonder what else could go wrong if she owned us! Hmmm I heard the last thing she owned got stolen, either that or broken...wait that's every CD player she gets...every 6 months she needs a new one of those...no wonder her parents have given up on her...
Chelz:: clears throat::
Botan: huh?
Chelz: ::smiles::
Botan: ::nervous laugh:: oh yes here is the next chapter of the wing goddess!
The Wings Goddess Chapter 19
Yusuke's Point of View.
It was two in the morning as I heard sirens blaring outside. I groaned as I got myself up and stretched cursing at the fire trucks outside for waking me. It was dark with the exception of many houses on fire throughout the streets. It took me a moment to realize what exactly was going on as I rubbed my eyes with fatigue. I yawned and threw on a jacket finding myself curious as to what exactly was happening. Outside I was joined by an equally confused Kazuma Kuwabara who questioned me as to what was going on.
"I don't know." I replied honestly.
"Man I've got a weird feeling about this. Something isn't right." Kuwabara noted
"What like someone used their spirit energy to set these houses on fire?" I asked sarcastically. I didn't expect him to say yes.
"What did you expect? Did you honestly think that some kids set all of these houses on fire? Or that this many people "accidentally" left their stoves on or something?" Hiei said with his own sharp tone as he appeared from the shadows.
"Well maybe I did. Whatcha gonna make of it Hiei?" I replied glaring at him. Kurama made his own entrance walking out onto the street stepping between us.
"Save your energy. We will need it if we are going to stop the demons. Wait no... we are going to hold back the demons until we figure out how Kari is supposed to stop this all. We don't need to waste our energy on each other." He explained
"Yeah guys come on." Kuwabara added. I sighed and let my guard down returning to the task at hand.
"So why are the demons here? Why not in America where Kari is?" Kuwabara asked.
"They are warning us. Showing us what they will do with the rest of the world once they capture her." Hiei explained
"As well as trying to rid themselves of us. With us out of the way there is no one stopping them." Kurama added.
"So you mean to tell me that if we don't stop them these demons are gonna burn down the whole planet?" I questioned. They both nodded.
"That's gonna be one big barbeque." Kuwabara said.
"Whats the point in that! There will be nothing left for them to keep!" I argued.
"That's not my problem." Hiei stated
"We need to hold them back long enough for Kari and the others to figure out what to do. She has the prophecy. We have to wait for it to come true." Kurama reminded.
"Alright then. Lets do this!" I said as I pumped my fist in the air. If it was a fight they wanted it would be a fight they would get!
Kari's Point of View
I was running with Koenma, the prophecy tightly gripped in my hands, down the halls of the reikai palace. We had come back for it in hopes that it would help us but strangely we found the palace empty.
"What do you mean it's already started!" He exclaimed
"In Japan! The Demons are in Japan! Right now they are fighting with Yusuke and the others! We have to figure this prophecy out now!" I yelled back. He pulled me into a corner and clasped his hand over my mouth. I looked up to him wondering what he was doing but then I noticed as I saw the shadows on the opposite wall of figures of large stature and long sharp teeth and claws.
" Where is she? I could've sworn I picked up a scent!" One of them yelled in aggravation.
"Look around she has to be close if the scent ends her. Besides she can't hide forever." The other one said with a laugh.
"Yeah you're right. After all it's only a matter of time before she does something or just falls asleep."
"Exactly." He confirmed. I screamed inwardly with fear making sure that I didn't make a sound as beads of sweat began to form and fall down my face. I was starting to panic as they came closer and closer to where we stood hiding. I looked back at Koenma who still had his hand over my mouth. He motioned for me to stay calm and to relax. I tried my best and even found myself trying not to breathe. I looked around for something, anything to hide under but Koenma beat me to it as he quietly led me towards the long floor length curtain and wrapped it around us in hopes of concealing us. One of the demons spun as if he saw us and made his way towards where we stood.
"Hey what is it?" The other demon asked
"I coulda sworn I just got scent of her." He replied as he sniffed the air. At that point I was absolutely still, like a statue, I wouldn't even let a breath escape from my lips as the demon sniffed around the curtain where we were hidden. I could feel his nose against the curtain as a bead of sweat dripped down my face I wanted to gasp or scream but Koenma threw his hand over my mouth just in time to catch me.
"Nope nothing here... lets go back to where we picked up her scent and try again." He said.
"Ok, lets go, we'll catch her eventually." The other demon replied.
"Can I be the one to kill her?" He asked as they walked away.
"Now why you!" the other argued.
"I picked up the scent!" he shot back. After a few seconds their voices disappeared and Koenma sighed with relief and let his hand fall back to his side. I gulped and started breathing fast, labored breaths.
"They sense your fear the most. The more you let on that you're scared the faster they'll find you." He explained. My eyes widened, I wasn't one who could easily control my emotions but I didn't have much time to react as he grabbed my arm again and we started running.
"Where are we going? Isn't the way out the other way?" I argued as he pulled me along.
"Don't you think I know this place better then anyone Kari? There is always more then one exit." He replied as he dragged me down some spiral stairs. It only got darker with each step.
"Where is this?" I asked.
"Relax, it's the only way you'll make it through alive. This is where the corrupted souls lie. These are the ones that will devour you at any stir of discomfort or fear and anxiety. So stay calm." He explained.
"Oh you had to pick the deadly way?" I said sarcastically.
"Would you rather have to jump about ten stories into a river?" He replied as he led me through. There were purple flames every once in a while that led us towards an exit.
"So what happens to these corrupted souls" I asked trying to make conversation so I wouldn't get scared or anything.
"Eventually they are purified but only after they spend 1000 years down here. Purification is their gift, their second chance, but they don't get it until they serve their sentence." He replied realizing what I was trying to do.
"Oh." I said simply.
"It's not too much further, just up ahead there." He pointed out. I smiled with relief. We walked to the exit and welcomed to light and fresh air. He then led me a ways away from the palace to make sure that we would be safe before we sat down.
"Red sky, sun dripping blood, those who live there overrun.
The sky will turn black, during the attack of those not welcome.
Shining light must come through and spirits unite.
But die must the one in order for her to take flight.
With wings cast and tears collected.
What will happen next will be unexpected,
The unwelcome will leave and run in right.
But only with the key will the darkness turn to light." I read aloud.
"What does it all mean. Who is the one? Who is she? The one who will take flight? And what is the key?" I asked. Koenma thought for a moment.
"The first line is what is happening now in Japan with the fires and deaths. The second line as well. Normal humans can't see it, but whenever there is an event with many deaths the sky turns black, as it should from the demon attack that is now occurring." He explained.
"Ok. Shining light, maybe that is hope? Or someone representing hope? And spirits might that mean Yusuke and the others fighting the demons as we speak?" I asked
"Possibly. The rest is all blurred to me, I can't interpret it." he replied. I sighed.
"Well then lets try not to think about it. My brother always said that if you left something alone and rested and then woke up and thought about it you could get something more from it." I said.
"Ok." He answered.
Koenma's Point of View.
I sat there as she drifted off to sleep. This could be the last time I ever see her with all that is going on. I sighed as I replayed the prophecy through my head. I knew what the rest of it meant, I just didn't want to admit that it was true that it could happen, and that it would happen. So much had happened in the past few months I couldn't just let it all go, it wasn't that easy. I felt like daggers were stabbing at my heart as I watched her for what might be the last time she ever got to breathe and dream. I recalled an argument Botan and I had before. I can't remember exactly when but it still stuck in my mind.
*flash back*
"Koenma she's falling for you! Can't you see, you can't lead her on like that!" Botan cried in concern for the girl.
" And why not!" I argued.
"Koenma stop being so naïve! Its forbidden and you know it!" she exclaimed.
" So." I answered
" So you're just gonna hurt her? Let her believe that" she started
"That what Botan that I love her? I would never let such a thing happen." I answered
" You're falling for her and you know it." She said sternly.
"And so what if I falling for her?" I replied.
"SO WHAT! KOENMA ITS AGAINST THE RULES! YOU SIMPLY JUST CAN'T!!!" She yelled.
"Botan, what's the point in having everything if you can't have the one thing you want the most?"
"Koenma she's going to die!". The words stabbed me like a knife as they hit the air.
"What?" I asked
"In order for the wing goddess to reveal herself Kari has to die. If the wing goddess doesn't reveal herself we all die." She explained.
"No, no I don't believe it. I won't let it happen." I said shaking my head in denial. She shoved the prophecy in front of me so I could read the words myself, the truth sinking in, that she would die in the end.
"No I don't care!"
"Koenma you can't play with fate! Nor can you change it!" She exclaimed.
* end of flash back *
She was right that day I just wouldn't accept it. The truth is, I'm still having trouble accepting it now. There has to be another way. This couldn't be the only way to awaken the wing goddess. How could such a being that will save us all come from the death of a person. Not just any person but the death of the teenage girl sleeping with her head in my lap, ever so peacefully as if there wasn't anything in the world that could bother her or wake her up. More importantly how could such a thing come from the death of the teenage girl I fell in love with.
