Chapter 16 Decisions that we make
My eyes fluttered open and I looked around the shadowed room I found myself in. I tried to move my arm, but found it to be chained to the cold stone wall. I shivered and realized my white over-shirt was gone. Well whoever did this wants me to freeze I guess. I shivered again while testing the chain that bound me. A sinister laugh came from deep within the shadows and I looked wildly around. "Come now Ixiada-chan, in your present form there is no way you would be able to break from your bindings. That voice! It's Cyrus! The laugh continued. "Of course it's me Ixiada-chan, who else would it be?" I stuck out my tongue at him. "I'm not your 'dear' so I suggest you stop trying to imply it." I snapped, but Cyrus continued to laugh. "You know what I find ironic Ixiada-chan?" I rolled my eyes. "Oh enlighten me." I sarcastically retorted.
"What fire, such a shame it was wasted in you." Cyrus muttered as he stepped from the shadows. My eyes widened at the sight. Cyrus was not as I had first seen him as, the dog demon who had dueled the dragon master Ezra, but a tall man that resembled Yoko. But Cyrus had black hair instead of silver, cold red eyes and black ears and tail. He was dressed in what resembled a thief's outfit. It was made of black clothe and leather. "Are you surprised Ixiada-chan? The first form in which you viewed me was a ruse, I had to have a non-threatening appearance for you to trust me, and now your task is done." I glared at the thought of being used by some nobody demon. Cyrus bust out laughing. "So I'm a nobody demon? How quaint. You obviously don't remember who I am Ixiada-chan." I looked at him confused, which simply proved his case.
"You wished to be enlightened am I correct? Then let me illuminate your feeble mind then Celeste." I froze at the name. Celeste? Why does that name sound so familiar? And why did Cyrus call me that? "Why would I call you Celeste? Why would I call you Celeste!? You did a great job erasing your memory then if you don't even remember your own name!" The black dog demon cried, getting angrier by the second. Fortunately he was laughing again. "Well I suppose someone with your past would want it all to vanish into the murky depths of the mind in which all things are forgotten." Cyrus was smiling now. "Well Celeste, since you've forgotten who you are, let me tell you in detail." Cyrus paused to take a deep breath before he continued.
"Once upon the age of the great spirits where gods and goddesses reigned, and before the fool Enma got control of the four worlds, there were two who quarreled often. One, a goddess by the name of Celeste, and the other a god by the name of Kuroi. These two fought often because of their different views on the spirits that roamed the four worlds. Celeste took the form of a dragon, while Kuroi took that of a noble wolf. Celeste mastered water in all its forms, and Kuroi tamed fire. The battles these two would experience destroyed much of the four worlds to a point where one was destroyed. Before the last battle the two would take part in, Kuroi learned of Celeste's foolishness. She had fallen in love with one from one of the worlds, and that he was waiting for her at the end of the battle. Kuroi found where he was and tortured him till he died, Celeste found them seconds before the spirit died. And let me tell you, when Kuroi kills one, he does a very through job, Kuroi had destroyed the soul of the one who had fallen in love with Celeste so the Great Spirit who reincarnated the souls of that time could not bring him back. Celeste attempted to kill Kuroi, but in her grief and hatred she failed and was killed. When she was reincarnated later on she must have preformed a memory erasing spell or something and killed herself after. Such a sad story, don't you agree?" Cyrus mockingly said as he glanced over at me. I glared at him with pure ice at his inappropriate remark. "You're a stupid son-of-a-bitch Kuroi." I spoke in a voice that was not my own.
"Your heart is like your name, black." I continued, but it was not me speaking. (FYI: Kuroi means black in Japanese) "What a feisty little wench aren't you?" Cyrus/Kuroi said as I heard a metallic blade being drawn from a sheath. Smiling, Kuroi put the blade's tip to my neck and barely an inch from my skin began to mockingly cut the air as if piercing my body. "But I see no reason for such feistiness for one in your position, you must be awfully confident you can break your enchanted bonds before I am able to slice you to tiny pieces." Kuroi smiled as he scratched my neck with the blade so a thin line of blue appeared and began to run down my neck. I glared daggers at him but did nothing; there was this overwhelming presence that was swelling inside of me, threatening to take over. "Oooo, I'm soooo scared Celeste, whatcha going to do, glare at me to death?" "Why not? You're so weak I can just stare at you and you'll die." Again the voice that was not mine, spoke words I did not think.
"Celeste, I was surprised by your actions with my first spy, you were always so on your toes, but he penetrated your defenses easily." I glared at him trying to think of what he was talking about. "Oh, don't remember do we? Or have you forgotten Blaze, oh sorry, I mean Kyle all too quickly?" I froze at his words. No, not Kyle, he wasn't evil, he can't be evil, he just can't! "Oh yes, Kyle as you call him was working for me the entire time. Then later as a spy disguised as your cat, Cricket you called him right? It's an amazing what the fear of death can get one to do. Come Blaze, show her!" From the darkness appeared silver haired, cat eared and tailed version of Kyle. "No." I whispered as I looked into the faint blue, lifeless eyes that were once a deep mysterious pool of dark blue. "You're sick." I said in my own words and voice to Kuroi and Blaze disappeared into the shadows once more. "You need to die a thousand painful deaths in the innermost circles of Hell, no, even that would not forgive what you've done!" Now there was no denying it, the power was surging through my very blood as my hatred for that man increased. "I'm not asking for your FORGIVENESS!" Kuroi cried as he stabbed the sword into various places on my body.
Drenched in my own blood I could feel my body changing. Along my arms and legs I could feel fins with barbed points growing, a long white and blue tail with barbs down the back also appeared. "Finally, you show me your true form Celeste!" Kuroi cried as his sword's tip broke when he attempted to stab me again. "BURN IN HELL!" I cried as the shackles that bound me burst into a thousand pieces. Power was surging around me as my hair turned blue and blue triangle markings appeared on my face. "FEEL THE WRATH OF CELESTE, GODDESS OF THE DRAGONS!" To one side appeared a slivery white serpentine dragon, and to my left a winged white-blue dragon. Both turned to energy and were sent forth at amazing speeds to attack Kuroi before he could react. "THIS COULDN'T KILL ME BEFORE AND IT WON'T NOW!" That was the last I heard of Kuroi before he teleported out of danger. My two dragons returned to my side before returning to the energy I had used to create them.
I looked down and saw I was in a different outfit, I was now in a torn blue dress with matching gloves. My skin was a bluish color that seemed to be thinly powdered on over my normal colored skin. The barbed fins on my arms, legs and back all had black tips that appeared poisonous. I was still cut and bleeding, but I didn't care. I could have died right then and there and be happy. That poor spirit, Kuroi destroyed his soul just to get to me. Silvery tears ran down my cheeks as I fell to my knees. Now that the danger was over my body was changing back to my human form. A fell over and lay on the cold stone floor, freezing, and waiting for death but instead heard familiar voices. "What was all that energy?" It sounded like Yusuke. "Dunno, but whatever it is we need to get there fast, I smell blood." That had to be Kurama. After a few minutes, the footsteps got closer and were finally in the room where I was. "IXI!" Several voices cried in unison. "Get away from her Urameshi!" It was Hiei. All the footsteps stopped except for one pair.
My back was turned so I didn't see who it was, but whomever it was stooped down and threw a cloak over my body. I instantly felt warmer. Then whoever it was put the cloak on so I was wearing it and picked my up bridal style. "C'mon, lets go." It was Hiei. He shifted me in his arms and I slowly felt myself drift off to sleep while listening to the beating of his heart.
"What happened next Auntie Ixi!?" Rayden exclaimed and Chloe nodded in agreement to the question. I put my hand to my chin and looked like I was in deep thought. "I forgets, can you two tell me?" I said in a laughing voice. "No, it's your story, you're s'pose to know what happens next!" I smiled at Chloe's point. "Alright, alright." I said putting my hands up in mock surrender. "Alright then I was where Hiei was carrying me right? Okey dokey then . . ."
I lay there in darkness, silently praying I was dead, and yet hoping I was alive. My eyes opened to a dark room and I decided not to move. I was laying on something really warm and when I glanced over at what it was, I found I was using Hiei as a pillow. He was peacefully sleeping next to me with a small smile on his face. I sighed and snuggled closer to his warm body. Try as I might I could not fall back to my sleep, but not wanting to wake Hiei, I stayed where I was and took in his radiance. "So you're awake?" My eyes opened at Hiei's whisper. I nodded as I glanced down. "How are you feeling?" I sighed. "I guess I'm okay, I didn't wake you did I?" I asked him. "No, you didn't." Sighing deeply I snuggled closer to him, for some reason I felt extremely cold. Kyle, Blaze, Cricket, or whoever you are, why? I thought you loved me, I thought you would always love me, but now I see I am not allowed to love lest the one I love dies. Hiei, I'm sorry, but I can't let you die like the last one.
I waited a few hours to make sure Hiei was totally asleep, and then I slid out of the bed. I tiptoed down the hall to my room and quiet as a mouse, began to stuff things into a backpack. I put all the money I had in a locked box, a few changes of clothes, some treasured stuff and a sketchbook with pencils and various other art supplies. After changing into a new set of clothes and slipping the backpack on I softly left the house and broke into a run. This is the only way no one will get hurt because of me. This was my argument to my own sub-consciousness. Sadly I felt like I was loosing to myself. Suddenly I felt like eyes were on me and I stopped to look around. A strange clicking was coming from behind a tree and I cautiously made my way over there. "Hello?" I said as I leaned over to see behind the tree. What I saw almost made me jump out of my skin.
Ixi: Hey, ya know what? I'm having more cliffies lately. Oh well, enjoy and review. Because I'm lazy and rather tired right now I'm not responding to reviews for this chappie, but if your response would have been on this chappie I will respond next time. (Yawn) Ta.
