Here's another chapter for the story! I hope you like it! I'm very proud of it btw. So I guess it's on to the chapter!
Chapter 7
Lost Tears
Serena's sqeal could be heard throught the temple as she gazed upon the mirror that now hung in the entrence. Grandpa thought it would be best if it was done so there. Rolling her eyes Raye stood next to Serena as she admired herself within the glass of it.
"It's sooo beautiful!" Serena said in ah of what was infront of her. "You've got to find out who this person is."
"I really don't want to think about it." Raye said waving her hand as if it was nothing. "I wish they would just stop. All these things are so expensive. And then what if this person comes knocking on my door expecting compienation for what they've spent?"
"Don't think about that!" Serena scowled looking now at the raven haired priestess. "I wish Darien could fuss over me like this person is you. They odveously know you well enough to know that your element is fire."
"That's what also scares me meatball head." Raye muttered looking down at her feet. Never in her life had she had someone so willingly give her something so expensive let alone ask nothing for it in return. Tears began to want to flow over as she realized how much she missed such an act from even a parent. Turning her head Serena saw Raye begin to cry.
"What's wrong?" She asked placing a hand upon her shoulder.
"It's nothing..." Muttering she said. "I just wish the others were here, I mean Amy could give a lot of insight on why this was happening and where they were coming from..."
"That's not what's bothering you..." Serena said almost glaring upon her friend. "What is it?"
"It's nothing..." Raye muttered again. "Who expects a fathery hug when you've never had one..." Frowning Serena gathered the girl into a hug.
"It's ok, how about this we go and get a photo album and look at the pictures? Maybe that will help."
"But Serena..." Raye said pleading with her but the blonde wouldn't have any arguments. Grabbing her friends hand she dragged her into Grandpa's study and grabbed a photo album off a shelf. Plopping down she pulled Raye with her as they began to look upon the pages of pictures of people Raye didn't even reconize being they were so old.
******************************************
The blue eyes that belonged to Darien jolted up in his bed, rubbing his head realizing he was in a cold sweat. Again with that phoenix in his dream. He feared it yet it always had some familarality to it.
"Why..." Passed his lips as he swong his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. He wasn't getting to sleep any time soon anyway. In the belly of the phoenix always was a picture of a little girl, calling out for him. Yelling that she missed him and yet he didn't know this girl, never in the orphanage was there such a child with eyes that the flames danced upon like a dancer does a dance floor. Her little hand clutched out to him through it like the baby had. "....I got to speak with Raye...."
*******************************************
Serena giggled turning the next page as they got into the present time. It was of Raye's mother. A very elegant woman she was, very beautiful and in many ways Raye looked just like her.
"Wow this is your mom?" Serena asked looking at Raye who nodded as a smile came upon her face.
"Don't remember much about her though, I mean she died right after I was born."
"O." Was all Serena said looking back down at the book. She turned the page and now it was a gentlemen dressed in a suit next to the woman that was Raye's mother and it looked like a wedding. "Awww, I hope I look as pretty as her!" Raye just chuckled at the flamboancy Serena had.
"Yah, grandpa said it was the second most happiest day of her life, besides me being born that is." Nodding Serena turned the page when something fell out from behind the wedding picture. Raye reached down to the tan envelope and picked it up examing the outside. "I've never seen this before."
"Weird." Was all the blonde said before she grabbed it from the miko's hands and opened the flap that was tucked in to keep whatever was inside inside the envelope what she found inside made both of them gasp. In Serena's hands came down a bunch of pictures; at least 15. The first of them was a family picture of her, her mother and father....
....and another kid. He looked to be a boy. "Raye do you know who this is?" She asked looking over and seeing Raye biting her lip not knowing what to think.
"I don't." Was all she said after a while. In the picture she was only a baby of maybe 1 or 2. The boy on the other hand looked about 5 or 6. He held her fathers hair style at the time and a small little suit adorned him. It was a very cute photo but Raye had never seen it in her life nor had her father or grandfather mentioned it. Serena moved that photo to the back of the pile in her hand to find a picture of Raye's mother and her father with a new born baby in blue. Then they moved it to the back to find the next one with her father and the baby boy on it. Her father was trying to teach him how to walk odveously. The little boy was all grins though. Serena set the photo down and looked at the next few, all of Raye's mom and/or dad with the boy doing something, building a castle upon the beach, painting a picture, at a small dance dancing, and one of the little boy's ear pressed against her mothers stomach with a happy smile upon his little face. The next picture was of her mother again at the hospital, this time a little girl in her hands. Raye had reconized this photo from pictures her grandfather had shown her. But the next one was with the little boy kissing the her forhead.
"I...I don't know what to say Raye." Serena said. "From what these pictures look like It looks like your grandfather has some explaining to do! I mean it looks to me like you had a brother..."
"Indeed she did." Was her grandfathers voice in the doorway making both girls heads shoot up to peer at him with questioning eyes. "Raye I guess I have some explaining to do..."
"Indeed." Was all Raye said crossing her arms over her chest glaring at her grandfather for keeping something that important away from her.
"Hey...I was just trying to save you from the heart ache both me and your father had to endure Raye."
"What do you mean?" Raye asked. Serena began to sweat drop realizing this was a very personal family issue they were talking about.
"I think I'll be going." Serena said chuckling nervously as she stood up only to be pulled down again by Raye.
"No you helped me here, you can stay." Raye said fermly.
"You did indeed have a brother Raye." Grandpa started. "Three years older then you he was."
"Ok." Raye's emotionless voice said as she glared at him more. "Why did you keep this from me and were is he now?"
"Raye...he died. Your mother never had a heart condition. Actully she was more healthy then most people at the time. Your father asked me not to tell you all this cuz it had to do with your brother. They both died. I had asked your mother to run an eron for me at a temple outside of Toyko cuz I'm not good in driving in the rain, short you know. He begged her to go along and finally she accepted and took him with her leaving you and your father at the house."
"Yah...so..." Raye said looking down at the pictures. Serena just sat there trying not to look to intrusive on this family secret.
"Her tires were old and they couldn't take the rain, the care dove off the cliff dear and both were killed. They only could find your mothers body but they figured he was so small that he got crushed and they never found any trace of him. We gave up the search after a while and had a funeral for him too." Grandpa said this with growing tears in his eyes. "Your father was so devistated he swore me to secrecy about this whole ordeal and made me burn the pictures I had of them, though I couldn't. So I hid them behind their wedding photo so I would always have pictures of my grandson and daughter."
"Grandpa..." Raye muttered standing up embracing him as best as she could cuz he was so short. "....what was his name?" Grandpa sighed grabbing the portrait and flipping it handing it to her. Raye read the little scribbles upon the back and thats when she gasped. Her eyes shot open wide as her mind went on a thinking spree.
"Raye..." Serena said standing up. "What's wrong." Tears began to form at the corners of Raye's violet eyes as she turned to Serena with a smile upon her face.
"...he's not dead..." She muttered handing her the picture. Serena looked confused but flipped the picture to its back and read the words gasping as well.
"W...what's going on?" Grandpa said. Raye looked at Serena who nodded as Raye quickly hugged her grandfather.
"...I got to go, I'll explain later." Raye said giving him a quick kiss and Serena handed him the pictures. Grandpa watched them both bolt out of the temple. Courious he flipped the picture on the back and looked at the words....
.....Darien Hino
