Chapter 17: Free
"Phillia!" Amaya turned and ran towards her. Hatori and the others clung tight to the white beast as he gained speed. "Phillia! Wake up!" He screamed trying to fight the flames. A gush of fire shot out in front of him. Amaya reared and roared. Akito, who was sitting on the edge, fell off of him. Then from out of nowhere Dorian slammed into Amaya. Momiji and Hatori flew off of Amaya.
"Dorian!" Phillia yelled from the other side of the fire. "Leave them alone!" A stream of light hit Dorian's eye. Another light came through the fire and hit Dorian's back leg. He fell over and Amaya took the opportunity to attack him. With his powerful jaws he took the neck of the middle head in his mouth.
"Now I can have my revenge." Amaya murmured into Dorian's fur. "You'll pay for what you did to my family." With that he bit hard into Dorian's neck. His eyes were glowing red, as blood oozed from Dorian's neck. The Hanot roared and struggled, but Amaya was too strong and too angry. Phillia ran out of the fire and over to her friends.
"Are you guys ok?" She looked at each of them with concern.
"Oh Phillia.." Momiji jumped on her and hugged her neck. "Please hurry and make him go away." Phillia ran her fingers through his messy blond hair to comfort him.
"Don't worry. I'll make him leave....for good." She stood and winked at Hatori and Akito.
"Be careful!' Hatori yelled as she flew to Amaya. He still had a hold of Dorian. She knelt down and smirked at him. He started laughing, when he looked at Phillia. Her smirk disappeared and she stood back up.
"Stupid," Dorian coughed, "Hinota..." He tensed his muscles and then opened his mouth and roared. The earth began to shake and the fire quickly surrounded them. Dorians body became bigger. Much bigger. He grew at least ten times his original size. Amaya jumped off of him when he noticed that his neck didn't fit in his mouth. Amaya and Phillia watched him as he grew.
"Umm...Amaya. How are we supposed to beat him now?" She whispered to Amaya but he seemed shocked. "I'm guessing this a surprise to you too?" Amaya nodded.
"This is going to be one hell of a fight." Amaya commented as Dorian hurled his fist at them. They jumped out of the way. Amaya flew at Dorian while Phillia went above him. Amaya bit his chest, but it didn't affect Dorian.
"Annoying little mosquito." He said, laughing. He grabbed Amaya in this huge grey hands and threw him against a tree. Amaya was knocked out and hit the ground with a loud thud.
"Amaya!" Phillia was angered by this and launched a huge water/fire ball at him. It hit the back of his head and knocked him forward, but it did nothing else.
"Ouch..you singed my head." He swung at Phillia and she dodged him. She tried to fly to Amaya, but Dorian heaved his hand at her again and hit her. She landed in the water. (She sure lands in water a lot).
"No! Phillia!" Akito yelled and ran to the lake. Dorian stopped him before he reached the water's edge. He looked into the Hanot's huge brown eyes. Akito grimaced at his ugly face and started to climb over his paw.
"Where do you think you are going?" Dorian snatched Akito into his hand. "If I can't kill her with a blade, then I'll simply have to break her heart. And you'll be the first to go." Dorian squeezed Akito tightly. "I'll crush you." He scowled at the little man in his hands.
"Dorian!" Phillia flew out of the water. A large wave followed her as she flew over Dorian. The water circled Dorian's face so he couldn't breathe. In his struggle for breath he let go of Akito. As Akito was falling Phillia rushed over to him and caught him.
"Akito are you alright?" She asked as he gasped for air.
"Yes I'm ok." He finally managed to say.
"I'm so gla-."
"Phillia!" Akito yelled. Dorian had gotten out of the water and had thrown a energy sword in her back. Phillia held onto Akito, and moved under Akito so that he wouldn't be hurt when they hit the ground. Phillia got to her knees. Akito helped her up. He examined her back. The sword was gone and her wound was already healing. Amaya trotted up to them.
"Amaya! You're ok!" Phillia cried out.
"Of course I'm ok...I'm dead." He smirked.
"Oh yeah...I forgot." She laughed. Their happy moment was interrupted by Dorian's roar.
"Amaya! Get them out of here!" Phillia yelled flying up to Dorian.
"Die!" She screamed as she threw another attack at Dorian. It hit his face, but did nothing.
Nothing I do works.....
She flew higher, but Dorian caught her in his hand. She was gasping for breath for his hold on her was very tight.
"Now Hinota, you will watch more of you beloved ones die." He swung his hand at Ayame, who had the three boys on his back. He hit Amaya and Hatori managed to stay on his back, but Momiji and Akito fell off. Dorian caught Akito and watched Momiji fall.
"No! Momiji!" Phillia struggled harder but it was no use. She closed her eyes as Momiji hit the ground. He wasn't moving, but Phillia could sense that he still had life in him.
"I'm so sorry Momiji." She started crying as she felt his life force getting weaker and weaker.
"You should be more worried about this one Himako!" Dorian's voice echoed in the sky as he squeezed Akito harder. Akito cried out in pain, but his screams soon turned into chokes as he once again began gasping for air.
"Dorian stop! Don't kill him!" Phillia cried more, and desperately tried to break free of his grasp, but Dorian ignored her and watched as he suffocated Akito. "Akito!" She cried. Ayame tried to stop Dorian, but Dorian snapped his jaws at him and knocked him into a tree, knocking both Amaya and Hatori out.
"So eager to die. Don't worry..once I finish....Akito...I'll move on to him, then to that little yellow haired boy. Though, he might already be dead by the time I get to him." Dorian laughed.
"Dorian! You will die!" Phillia screamed. Dorian looked at her in his hand. He smiled then closed his hand tighter around Akito. Then Akito's body began to glow blue, and Phillia felt his life being drained. "No! Akito!" Phillia bit Dorian's hand, but he didn't feel it. Then the blue light faded, and Phillia saw that Akito had died. (Don't try to kill me just yet .;;;) Phillia fell silent and so did the world around her. Dorian threw Akito on the ground near Momiji, who was slowly fading. Phillia's eyes grew wide, as she watched them on the soft earth. Dorian stood motionless staring at Phillia. When he felt grow limp in his hand he moved his hand directly in front of his face.
"Now you will die Himako." He growled. Phillia didn't say anything but stared at the ground. Dorian shook her violently, and that brought her back form her daze.
"You killed him....." She whispered. "All those people, you killed. They never did anything. And now the people that taught me to love...who gave me hope....you've destroyed them." She began shaking, and Dorian watched her closely. A faint golden light began to shine around Phillia's being. "Now, you expect me to die that easily!" She yelled. "Well I will not rest until you are dead Dorian!" Her now blood red eyes looked straight at Dorian. The spooked Hanot began to feel something eat away at him when he looked into her eyes. Slowly, he felt his hand loosen around Phillia. She was gaining strength.
"What are you doing!?" He tried to hang onto her.
"You will die!" She screamed and a variety of colored lights shot out from Phillia's chest. She broke free of Dorian and flew a few feet above him. Her tears were gone and the only thing left in her heart was anger for Dorian. (I'm setting such a bad example). Her body transformed. She was still human, but she had teeth and her fingernails became claws. Her silver hair was streaked with black strands and below her wings she sprouted two more smaller wings. Dorian was shocked at her transformation, but that didn't stop him from attacking her. This time when he hurled his huge claw at her, she caught it and twisted his wrist. Dorian jerked his hand back and rubbed his wrist. He growled at her and she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Fine! It's all or nothing! I'm tired of fighting you! Die Himako! Once and for all!" He opened his mouth and gathered a mixture of energies...including his very life energy. He shot it at her and it kept streaming from his mouth. Phillia had gathered some of her own energy and their attacks met. Both their attacks continued like never ending streams of light. (Which is what they were) Phillia kept her attack going, but she didn't know how much longer she could hold out. Then she had an idea. She remembered her promise to Akito about lifting the curse, and she knew she had to get rid or Dorian. She would use her final attack. The very energy of her life was enough to kill Dorian. Amaya fell conscious again and stared at the two attacking each other. Phillia broke off the attack and flew higher into the sky.
"Himako!" Amaya yelled from the tree. He knew nothing about her transformation. Phillia charged at Dorian and she hit him on his forehead, before he saw her coming. Dorian fell on the dirt and the ground shook as he did. Phillia cupped her hands in front of her chest and began to gather energy. Golden lights and blue dust twirled around her hands. Dorian stood back up and tried to attack her. He used the same attack on her as he did before.
"Go!" Phillia said as she saw the blast coming toward her. From the sky came and army of Hinotas. Amaya recognized them all. They were the secret thirteen warriors of the king. They jumped in front of Phillia and protected her from Dorian's attack. "Keep him busy." She said to the Hinotas as she continued to gather energy.
"Himako! What are you doing? How did you summon them?" Amaya flew up to her. She smiled at him, but said nothing. That's when he knew what attack she was going to use. "Himako you can't do this!"
"Have faith in me. I have a promise to keep." The light shined brighter and engulfed Phillia. Amaya backed away from the light. By this time Dorian had defeated the Hinotas that Phillia summoned. Each of them apologized as their spirits returned to the heavens.
"The time has come Dorian." Her voice echoed. "You will join your own kind and leave this earth." Dorian backed away from her, but his anger got the best of him and he charged at Phillia. Amaya got Hatori from the tree, and he helped get Momiji and Akito onto Amaya's back. Hatori didn't know why Amaya was so desperate to leave. He saw Dorian and the glowing ball that he assumed Phillia was inside.
"What is she going to do?" Hatori asked as they flew. Amaya didn't answer. "Amaya!"
"Hush! She's is going to get rid of Dorian." Amaya snapped. Hatori shut his mouth as they stopped a good distance away from the battle. The glowing light could still be seen.
"What is she going to do!?" Hatori questioned frantically. Amaya lowered his head.
"She made a promise to everyone. She would kill Dorian, lift a curse, and protect the ones she loved. All that will...." Amaya didn't say anything else, but Hatori understood. He looked at the dead Akito and injured Momiji.
"Phillia.." He whispered.
At the Battle........
Dorian roared and threw his whole body at Phillia. He ran into the energy ball and there Phillia launched her biggest and fiercest attack. The light grew and Dorian's life energy collided with her's. There was a huge explosion as her energy overpowered Dorian's, but he still wasn't dead.
"Creatures of this earth hear my call. I summon the spirits of all the zodiac animals! Release your human hosts and destroy this evil!" She yelled. From all around her the faint images of the many animals came crowding in. They circled Dorian and attacked him, and soon Phillia released the Hinota within her. Phillia's wings were no longer black, but a brilliant white, as the black creature struck Dorian's heart and his body disintegrated.
Somewhere in the sky.........
The bodies of all of the cursed Sohma family began glowing. They felt the animals in them being lifted and watched as the animals ran from their bodies. Hatori saw all the animals fly into the light coming from Phillia. Then another explosion took place and the light spread as the wind blew hard.
"Phillia!" Hatori yelled as Amaya flew away from the light that approached them. Soon the light faded away and small blue particles shot into the sky. Amaya flew back over to where the light originated. There he saw nothing left of Dorian, and Phillia stood alone in the middle of the clearing. She was drenched in her own blood, and she still had white wings. She heard them land and she turned around to face them. She walked over to them without saying a word. Hatori reached for her, but Amaya stopped him. He explained Phillia was not in her normal state. They watched as she took Momiji and Akito off Amaya's back. Carefully she set them on the ground and knelt beside them. Her body started to glow again, and she knelt down and kissed Akito. She then turned to Momiji and kissed him. She stood up and then kissed Hatori. The glow left her and went to them. All their wounds were healed and Akito was given back his life. Phillia then floated up to the sky and lights of every color escaped her chest and into the earth. The fires were put out, all the burnt ground was restored into green grass. Water was put back into the lake and the trees grew tall again. She restored the forest back to normal, as though nothing had never happened. She laughed, a cheerful laugh. One that Hatori and Ayame had never heard from her before. She started dancing in the sky. Amaya flew up next to her and she gave him a big hug.
"Oh Himako...." He said as she clung to his silky neck.
"We did it! We defeated Dorian!" She laughed.
"No Himako...you defeated him!"
"We all did together! Thanks to you and the Sohma's and their curse we are all able to be happy again." She let go of Amaya and kissed his nose. She then flew down to Hatori and hugged him.
"Thank you Hatori...for everything." She said.
"It was you who saved us." He smiled. "Was what you did...did you.."
"Yes! I lifted your curse. The Sohma's can now live a normal life!" She laughed. By then Akito and Momiji had woken up. Akito staggered to his feet and Momiji sat up.
"Phillia..." Akito whispered.
"See..I promised I would lift the curse and I did." She hugged Akito. Akito was speechless; all he did was hug her back.
"Now we can all live like normal human beings! Phillia can be my big sister!" Momiji said, but then noticed the sad look on Phillia's face. "Phillia? What's wrong?" Phillia backed away from them all.
"I'm afraid I can't live with you all. You see, me right now....I'm just a ghost." Hatori, Akito and Momiji gave her confused expressions.
"What do mean?" Akito asked.
"To do something I did took a great deal of energy. It took my life to save everyone. My wings now are angel wings. Himako left my body. We were both set free."
"No! You can't be! You can't leave us!" Akito yelled grabbing her wrist. Momiji hugged her waist, and Hatori was too shocked to move.
"Himako-....I mean Phillia..." Amaya walked up behind them. "Time to go home." He said looking to the sky where two clouds had parted. The sun rose over the horizon, and revealed a new day. Soon, Akito's hands went through Phillia's wrist, and Momiji fell through her.
"Why didn't you let me die! Why did you have to sacrifice yourself like that!" Akito yelled as Phillia jumped on Amaya's back.
"I made a promise. I always keep my word." Phillia said quietly.
"Please Phillia! Don't leave us!" Momiji cried.
"Stay with us.." Hatori stuttered. Phillia smiled at them, and crystal tears fell down her cheeks.
"I will be with all of you forever. Someday we'll see each other again." Amaya jumped into the sky, and Phillia waved at them. "I love you!" It was the last thing she shouted before her and Amaya disappeared into the sky. Hatori, Akito and Momiji were crying.
"Phillia!" Akito shouted at the sky. Momiji whispered a sweet goodbye and Hatori smiled at the clouds. As the clouds joined together, they all turned around and walked home in silence. The wind blew hard and carried the sounds of nature as it cried for the last Hinota was gone.
............................................................................................................................................................
One month later..........
Hatori sat quietly at his desk working on some of his paper work. Momiji was outside playing in the garden, and Akito was with Shigure at the store. One month had passed since the battle. The Sohma family now lived at peace with the rest of the people. They received hugs from everyone and were excepted into society. They no longer feared, being exposed. A couple of them even got into relationships, and Akito was as healthy as ever.
Momiji walked inside of Hatori's office. The first thing he saw was the little picture frame of a silver haired girl. It sat next to Kana's picture.
"Hatori...can we go visit Phillia's grave?"
"I'm busy at the moment Momiji."
"Ok well then, I'm going to go by myself." Momiji skipped out of his office and ran out of the Sohma estate. He hummed a familiar tune as he walked on the sidewalk to the graveyard. It was a pretty sunny day, and the atmosphere was cheerful. Momiji entered the graveyard and stared at the little temple at the entrance. Then he continued on his way. He stopped at a large gravestone. It sat by itself under the shade of a sakura tree. Momiji ran his fingers along Phillia's name. The wind blew hard all of a sudden a chill ran up Momiji's spine. A couple of the sakura blossomsfell onto her grave. Momiji placed them neatly in a pile in front of her name.
"Afternoon Phillia." He said in a cheerful voice. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine and you?" A small voice said from behind. Momiji jerked around and saw a slender girl with long silver hair standing in front of him.
"Phillia? Is that you? Or is it your ghost?" He asked.
"Give me a hug and find out!" Momiji smiled and threw himself into Phillia's arms. This time he didn't go through her.
"Phillia! It's you! You're back! How?" He looked into her eyes.
"Well they decided as a human it wasn't my time. Plus they didn't a human hanging around with a bunch of Hinota's. So with a little help from Himako and Amaya I've been sent back." She smirked. Then she knelt down to Momiji's ear. "Just between you and me....I kept my wings. So we can go fly." She giggled. "But they don't know that." Phillia winked. "So did you come alone?"
"Yes I did. Nobody wanted to come with me."
"Well I feel so loved. Come on Momiji. I'll go teach them to not visit my grave."
And Phillia and Momiji journeyed back to the Sohma estate hand in hand. I guess this is where I say...they lived happily ever after...together.
Well what do you think? For my first fan fiction? Bad? Good? Blah? I thought about having Phillia just flat out die...but then I didn't want to do that. Anyway...I'm glad that is over with! I'm trying to post some pictures of my characters. Most my stories, I use an OC. Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed what they read! I hope you'll keep reading my stories. Also if you have any suggestions in something I should write e-mail and let me know!!!
