Chapter fourteen
I don't own gargoyles or blue seed.
Layata was still in the building unnoticed to anyone a bright blue light was being omitted by her. Suddenly her body was being raised and her green skin was slowly changing back to it's tan state."Huh where am I is this sometimes of dream?" asked Layata confused.
"Yes and no." said a man with green hair.
"D-dad is that you." said Layata shaken. The man sure looked like her dad but his hair was green and he had cat eyes. The man then walked up to Gmx holding out his hand. Gmx just backed away from the man.
"Yes it is your father." As a woman no more in her twenties came out with her brown chestnut hair.
"Mom, Dad I've missed you so much." Layata then went up to her parents and gave them the biggest hug ever. "Oh no mom dad I'm dead now I won't be able to protect my brother I'm such a failure." Layata then got on her knees and began to sob. I should have found him soon then maybe none of this would have happened.
"Your not dead Layata." said her mother as she knelt down and embraced her.
"And you sure as hell are not a failure." said her dad helping her up.
"If I'm not dead then where am I." asked Layata confused.
"Well you did die," Layata gives a shocked look to her mom. "but your getting your life back."
"Why?" asked Layata.
"Because you gave you life up for your brother and your friends." said her dad.
"Oh, I'm going to miss you so much." said Layata as she hugged her parents for the last time.
"Why would you be missing us?" asked her mother.
"Stop joking it's not funny your both dead and I have no relatives." said Layata astonished that her parents thought they were alive.
"Oh we're not dead." said her dad.
"What?!" said Layata totally confused.
"Well we both died but then Susano-oh came and saved us and brought us back to life." said her dad.
"Susano-oh?" asked Layata now totally lost.
"Oh remember the legend." said her mom.
"Ya." said Layata lamely crossing her arms over her chest..
"He was the god and well he still lives so he thought it would be cruel if we weren't with you so he brought us back to life and now we live in Japan." said her mom.
"Why the hell Japan?" said Layata angered and trying to understand all this new information.
"Because that is your heritage and your mom and I have real names that are Momiji and Kusanagi." said Kusanagi.
"Okay." said Layata as she understood some more of the information and was getting a fuzzy TV picture.
"Oh one more thing before we leave you will no longer turn gargoyle at night." said Momiji.
"Why?" asked Layata confused they couldn't possible lift the curse.
"Because you showed your true form as an Aragami warrior and don't need anything else to complicate things." said Kusanagi sternly.
"Okay but what about my friend Brooklyn can he come to Japan too." asked Layata
"Ya of course but you will have to give this to him." said Momiji handing her a necklace with a gold chain and one blue bead.
"Why?" asked Layata as she stared at the necklace.
"So he won't be a gargoyle any more but and Aragami warrior like you. Also he has to choose if he wants to." said Momiji.
"Okay." said Layata as she felt herself fall into a sleep hearing a few murmurs as she went back to the living.
"Well are time her is almost up hope to see you in a few days." said both parents as they faded into darkness.
Layata then woke up in smoke. Layata cough as she gasped for air. She then saw an unconscious body on the floor looking over it she saw it was her worst gargoyle Demona. Stupid conscience. Grudging Layata picks up Demona and begins to head for the exit when a huge pile of debris of fire falls in her way. Damnit. Layata then looks for another exit and heads toward the window. Slowly using all her energy she uses her blue seed power and begins to float over and out the window landing down on the cement.
"Why did you save me?" questioned Demona.
"Because it was the right thing to do." said Layata. I know I'm going to regret this.
"I'm sorry." said Demona. Layata just went back three feet and began to check Demona for a temperature.
"Your temperatures fine." said Gmx sarcastically.
"What you have a problem with an apology." said Demona rather rashly.
"No, it's just weird coming from you." said Layata as she helped Demona to her feet.
"Well I better go oh and sorry again for cursing you." said Demona looking at her feet waiting for an angered Aragami warrior.
"You were that gargoyle." said Layata slightly angered.
"Yea sorry." said Demona waiting for the punch instead Layata gave her a good slap on the back.
"Hey none taken if you didn't curse me I probable wouldn't have been able to find someone special." said Layata lamely as she slightly blushed.
"Okay then." said Demona as she was about to leave.
"Hey Demona wait I think I can give you healing powers. Get back in the clan it's real easy just give these humans a second chance." said Layata hoping to change her around.
"Sorry don't want the offer." said Demona as she began to climb up the wall.
"Okay Demona if you ever want to change your mind you'll be welcomed." said Layata as she watched Demona leave.
"Yeah bye." said Demona as she left Layata in the dust.
"What do you mean my sister's gone?" asked Melvyn worried as he looked into the gargoyles brown eyes.
"She just is." said Brooklyn sadly as he hugged the boy in his arms trying to comfort him.
"Damn you guys must be pretty stupid to think I could die by some wimpy plant like that." said Layata boastfully as she approached her brother and Brooklyn.
Both ran up to her, her brother being the first to hug her. Her brother cried into her shirt.
"Hey Melvyn you can stop now okay I'm never gonna leave okay." said Layata pulling her brother off her stomach.
"Okay sis." Brooklyn then came up to her looking unsure of what to do. Melvyn just ran back to the other Gargoyles asking them weird questions.
"Come on Brooklyn I gotta tell you something important." said Layata as she took his clawed hand into hers. Slowly Layata made him climb up the stairs to an apartment building and sit on top of the roof. Wonder what she wants to talk to me about?
