Hey guys what's up? Did you miss me? It sure doesn't seem like it seeing as I haven't gotten a review in like forever (ok so I got one…). What happened where are you guys? Wah! I want reviews! And I'm not trying to sound selfish it just feels like no one is reading my fic. ::goes on crying::
Yusuke: Would you quit your whining! Anyways Chelz doesn't own anything but Kari and her family. If you would like to use anything ( like the ocs) just review!
Chelz: ::still crying::
Hiei: Stupid ningens…
Kuwabara: Hey! When did shorty get here!
Hiei: Glare
Kurama: ::laugh::
Hiei and Kuwabara get into a fight.
Botan: Well as you can see the boys are quite busy now so maybe you should just go on in reading the next chapter without us. And don't forget to review!
The Wing Goddess: Chapter 20
Yusuke's Point of View:
I sighed, man was I exhausted. I have to say it only feels like we got lucky in holding the demons back though.
"Does anyone else here get the feeling that this was only the start?" I asked. Kurama nodded in agreement while Kuwabara ignored my question completely as he continued with what he called his "victory dance".
"There's most likely more from where that came from. Some demons may be stupid but any smart demon would know not to just send everything he has into one battle. It's ridiculous. Absurd and it simply doesn't work." Hiei noted
"Yes, he is correct. It is most likely that there will be many more battles like this until we unlock the powers of the Wing Goddess. Otherwise we will be at war forever." Kurama agreed.
"Hey but war is fun and stuff!" Kuwabara replied.
"Shut up you stupid ningen." Hiei snapped and he added an icy cool glare towards Kuwabara.
" Hey chill out guys!' I exclaimed trying to separate them. It had always been a problem, not a big one, but one that was always there. The fact that Yukina was Hiei's sister and that Kuwabara liked her only made it worse.
" Sadly we can't say that war is fun Kuwabara. It may sound enjoyable from the hero stories you hear but in reality it isn't anywhere near as grand as you imagine. After some time we would most likely be defeated. If we can use the wing goddess to our advantage so that we don't have to go to war then" Kurama explained
"Then we can take them out before anything can get any worse?" Kuwabara asked.
"Exactly." I answered for Kurama.
"So what do we do now just wait?" Kuwabara asked.
"Probably. Better yet we should sleep and rest up. Just in case we need to be ready for another fight like that." I said
"I think that's a good idea. If you don't mind I'm going to go do just that." Kurama noted.
"Ok Kurama, just don't you die on me!" I taunted as he started to leave. Hiei nodded in acknowledgement of the departure of his friend and Kuwabara waved with a smile.
"Yeah I think I'm gonna go too Urameshi." He finally said after he finished waving to Kurama. I bid him farewell and watched him leave. I let out another sigh, it must've been my 10th time sighing in the last 10 minutes or so. Hiei was quiet. Heck he probably wasn't even there anymore. Knowing him he left already to go rest or finish some business of his own.
"I guess I should just go home then." I said to myself as I stretched my arms above my head letting out a loud yawn signifying my fatigue.
"Yup definitely go home." I agreed as I blinked my eyes a few times.
"See ya Hiei. Even if you aren't there." I added and walked off into the distance towards my home to sleep.
Kari's POV:
We had left the spirit world and entered the human world again and I was able to convince Koenma to let me go off on my own for a bit while he talked with Botan, Yusuke, and the others. In the meantime I hooked up with Keiko, figuring that at least if I were with her I wouldn't be accused of being reckless.
"So demons attacked the other night?" I asked her.
"Yes, even though the causes were unknown to most people they had many vigils last night for the ones killed. It was quite depressing actually." She replied. My expression turned gloomy.
"Don't get down. We'll stop it. I know we will, just read the prophecy." She encouraged and I pulled it from my pocket and read it aloud.
"I think the first part might have been the other night." I suggested. Keiko frowned after reading the last part over and over.
"What is it Keiko?" I asked
"Nothing." She replied
"No seriously what." I asked again this time stopping her. She looked away.
"I don't think I should be the one to tell you this." She insisted.
" Keiko, I can take it. I won't be mad at you. I promise. Just tell me what it means." I pushed. She looked down.
"K…Kari… if I'm right…and I hope I'm not but…Kari you're gonna die." She said.
"W…what? I.I mean its ok but-" I felt my bottom lip start to quiver and she wrapped her arms around me in a comforting hug before pulling away.
"I just want you to know, that in the short time that I knew you, you were one of the greatest people I could have ever met in my life. And I don't want you to give up." She looked me in the eye with such a gaze that I couldn't turn away that I just had to stand there and look back at her, letting her words sink in. I finally nodded
"I…I.I have to do some things." I managed before slowly walking backwards at first and then turning and running as fast as I could.
***
I sat there, phone in hand dialing down every single person I knew. They found it strange but I had to do it, and they would eventually understand. But the thing that would kill me the most would be to not be able to say goodbye before I died. Despite my longing to I couldn't tell my friends, not even my family about what was going on at all. They would go into denial, and they'd try to stop the inevitable. I hung up the phone for the last time and just sat with my head hung low as I thought about what exactly was going to happen to me. Was it going to be painful? Would I die in my sleep? Would it be in vain? Was it really true? I suddenly felt tears trace my cheeks. All I knew that if I was going to be scared I had to be scared now, while I was alone.
Unknown Person's POV
It was almost depressing sitting there watching her call all her friends and everyone she knew, telling her family how much she loved them, her friends how much she cared about them, and how she would never forget them. Some of them she told them to remember certain things. With some of her friends she joked about what would suck the most if they died the next day. Things like not being able to see each other, not getting to listen to their favorite bands, not doing their favorite things. Somehow not getting married and not losing their virginity got mentioned but I believe the last one came from one of the guys. Others like her brother she told to go to her room and read through things she had written. For her mother she left her to read her diary, though she didn't say it outright, she told her that after she got off the phone or anytime after that to go to the drawer next to her bed, and read the black book that was inside. She even talked to her dog, telling him everything, which amused me quite a bit. How she could trust a dog with her deepest darkest secrets I didn't know and the fact that she actually talked to the dog made me wonder. And then she stopped. The realization sinking into her mind, she did what she wanted, told the people the things she wanted them to know and the only thing left for her to do was to accept it. She started to cry as the streetlights began to flicker signaling the start of the night. I jumped down, deciding to take a risk. She was going to die soon wasn't she? Maybe she deserved to know who I was.
Authoress' Note: all right. I left a cliffy I know but I had to. There was just an urge and I had to so I did. He he he. For the most part this wasn't a very action packed chapter but I had to cover this side of things some time. I mean honestly, who doesn't think about death at least once in their lives. It kinda made me think of the things I would miss even if things aren't exactly going great in my life right now. So even though this is the end of this Chapter I have to dedicate this to Christina. You know who you are. Without you, I wouldn't be here right now and I thank you for the blackmail of which I am still under. I have a feeling you'll make me make a list of the things I'd miss the most if I'd died the next day. And then every time I get down and depressed you can make me stare at it, and explain every single one to the point that I realize how much I really would miss. So this goes out to you Christina. I'll have that list for you next week (lol look what I got myself into)
Preview of the next chapter: Well, well, who would've thought that I would finally get to do one of these at chapter 20? Yeah its me the unknown person who some of you may have found out. But unlike some of you Kari hasn't. To tell her or not to tell her? I'm not sure what to do at the moment but this will be my last chance seeing as once she regains her composure she's sure to confront some people on the matter at hand. Uh oh looks like I'd better go I have to prepare. But don't miss out on the next chapter of The Wing Goddess.
Yusuke: Would you quit your whining! Anyways Chelz doesn't own anything but Kari and her family. If you would like to use anything ( like the ocs) just review!
Chelz: ::still crying::
Hiei: Stupid ningens…
