Chapter Nine
----------------------------
Recap-
"But…that…that's impossible! Chaos is…evil and…and…he cannot be your soul mate!!" Quatre became silent as his mother turned haunted eyes at him, her lips twisted in a bitter smile. When she spoke, her voice was ironic, dead.
"And why not, Sol? Why can't your father be my soul mate?"
--------End Recap--------
"WWHHHHHHHAAAAAATTT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quatre's face turned a most interesting shade of reddish purple.
"B..but..how..no..wait..impossible…un..unthinkable..I…but…he..and..you.. and..but…how…no..but…" Quatre sputtered out, eyes wide, with the left one slightly twitching, arms shaking about. Finally, he settled for, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
A silver somewhat amused, somewhat irritated eyebrow rose at his statement.
"And how so?" Her voice was soft, but held a cutting edge.
"Because dad is Endymion, not Chaos!"
"Can't they be the same person?"
Silence.
"Huh?" Duo voiced out.
Silence.
Thump. Growl.
"Eh…maybe someone should help the Q-man…"
Silence.
"Eh..really…I don't think he'd like it if we didn't help him after he fainted…and Tsuki doesn't seem so happy he landed on her…"
Silence
"Hello? Is anyone listening to me?!!" An annoyed Duo cried out.
Silence.
"Fine! I'll get him up myself…" And Duo headed towards Quatre, muttering all the while of meanies who wouldn't listen and answer him. Before he reached Quartre, he was stopped by Usagi.
"Hey..babe..erm..well..crazy babe…mind letting me go?" Duo sent a silent prayer of thanks that Quatre was unconscious and Tsuki was stuck under Quatre, leaving both of them unable to cause him any bodily harm.
"That will not be necessary, Duo." Usagi smiled at him, though it never reached her eyes. "Get up, Sol."
Quatre stayed atop a growling and annoyed Tsuki, unconscious.
Usagi sighed. "Sol, if you do not wake up right now, I will bring forth THE picture!"
The reaction was instant. With a startled cry, Quatre's eyes flew open and he leapt to his feet, looking at his mom with large tearful eyes.
"You wouldn't, would you mama?" He pouted.
"Sol, I didn't even have the picture out. Now seat yourself so that I may answer your questions." Usagi took a seat, herself. Quatre, however stayed standing, looking at the large group of people in the room.
"I'd like to hear this…alone…mama…"
"Of course." With a flash of light, they were gone.
"….Does this mean I'm Hope?" Relena asked.
"It means we're in a house of nutcases…" Duo replied.
"My family is not a nutcase, I assure you." Everyone spun at the voice, only to be faced with a glowing Relena.
"It's that weird voice from the hospital!" Noin cried out, as the Maquanacs trained their guns and weapons at a glowing Relena, her eyes blank.
"Now now now…that's not very friendly. And especially in the house of Sol. I am rather insulted!" Relena laughed a laugh that was not her own, filled with sadness and bitter sarcasm.
"Who are you." Millardo's voice was curt, leaving no room for argument.
"Ah, yes, I remember you, little prince. Such a beautiful dream you use to have…I shall have to ask Sol what has become of it."
"Who are you, what are you doing to my sister?"
Relena's eyes stared blankly at him, yet at the same time, seeing him.
"I am Hope, daughter of Cosmos and Chaos, sister of Sol. Soon to be murderer of your sister."
-------------------
"What would you like to know, Sol?" Usagi smiled warmly, if a bit sadly, at her son.
"Everything." Usagi sighed, and leaned back against her seat, as Sol took a seat upon her bed. They had appeared in her bedroom, or rather, one of Quatre's guestroom, and upon arriving, she had immediately seated herself upon the vanity seat.
"This story begins long before the Silver Millenium, before the planets were born, before even the gods were born. There was nothing but emptiness…but contrary to what you may believe, this emptiness was, in fact, the universe. Oh yes, it is true that now the universe is filled with stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, but before all of that, the universe was an abyss, if you will. The universe, though empty, was very much alive, and grew lonely. Longing for company, she created for herself, a daughter. It took eons for this task to be completed, as the universe had nothing to create her daughter from save herself and her own desire. When the daughter was finally born, the universe shed tears of joy, many becoming the stars, while the rest became the seeds of life. The daughter, named Harmony traveled throughout the universe, and used her powers to nourish to seeds of life. Eons passed and eventually the seeds of life grew to be different celestial bodies, such as the suns, planets, moons, etc."
"But mama! How could Harmony and the universe exist? There was no evil nor good!"
"Hush, Sol! Did I not raise you to be more courteous than that?" Usagi chided her son gently, but his eyes continued to stare straight at her, defiance clear. She sighed. Perhaps she should have told him sooner.
"Harmony, you see, was born to be half light, and half darkness. In being born, she created a natural balance between the two forces, which now existed within her…a balance that would later grow. Constantly, she was fighting with herself, the dark wishing to destroy the very lives, or celestial bodies that she and her mother had aided in creating, whereas the light was against it. To keep both halves at bay was a very tiring task. She could never fully give into the darkness, nor could she give in fully into the light. The universe was tired, never having healed from creating Harmony, and could only watch as her daughter constantly fought with herself to keep both powers at bay. Eventually, as time passed, it was forgotten but the universe and her brothers and sisters just why Harmony was at a constant struggle.
"Her brothers and sisters?"
"Yes, though we call them the Celestial bodies, such as the suns, moons, planets, etc. At that time, no other being save Harmony and her mother knew of any negativity. Her mother, though, only knew so much, knowing only of the despair and loneliness she had felt before Harmony, and could not comprehend the depths of the darkness that Harmony was forced to battle. Harmony, however, knew of it all, and you must realize it was not easy on her.
She had no one to talk to of the darkness within her, and as she was far from stable, her brothers and sisters, and eventually, even her mother grew to be weary of her. Realizing her unstableness and not wishing to hurt her family, she fled as far away from them as possible, to the ends of the universe. Eons passed, and life began to spring within her brothers and sisters. The universe rejoiced as life sprung within her own children, and everyone soon became engrossed in the life that they held. Time passed some more, and still, Harmony did not return. Gone for so long that she became a distant memory to her brothers and sisters, and even her mother, who could no longer feel her, as she once had been able to. The reason of this is unknown, but it remains the same. Her family had forgotten her.
Harmony was very young, and very vulnerable, especially with her powers and having to battle with herself everyday. Her happiness had lied only within her family, and the times she spent away from them ate at her heart. But still, she stayed away, learning to control her powers more and more, in order to be with them once again. She never expected that her family would forget her; after all, she had given them each so much. But they did forget her, buried her in the deepest recess of themselves.
It was because of that very fact that Harmony finally lost to the darkness within her. You must understand, young Sol, that Harmony is a very powerful being. With the powers of the balance, she determines the very fate of the universe!"
"What of Fate and Destiny?"
"Ahh, we are getting there. Patience is a virtue, my little Sol."
"That is a virtue I lack."
"Indeed, it would seem. Harmony tried very hard, you must understand, to keep the darkness within her at bay, but jealousy is a very formidable foe. Still, however, she continued to fight, and as she fought, she struggled to make sure no one would be affected by her struggle, as she at that time was basically everything put into one, save the universe and the celestial bodies.
To ensure that should she lose control, she would not destroy all that she held dear, she created Fate and Destiny. The two would weave out the future of all the lives of her siblings, as well as the lives they housed. Dutifully, they did as they were told, working as one. They traveled the universe, something both found most enjoyable, and together, wove the paths of lives. It is such a shame that they did not work as one for all eternity in all causes, instead splitting in the cases they could, working together in others." Usagi sighed, and then continued.
"However, this tale is of Harmony…for now. I have told you that jealousy proves to be a formidable foe, and it proves true in her case.
Eventually, her jealousy at the contentment that her brothers and sisters found, at the attention her mother lavished upon them, the anger she held at them for forgetting her, their eldest, and the grief inflicted upon her as she struggled to keep her sanity and mourn her lost family proved to be too much. The darkness won and a new age came to be."
"A new age?"
"The dark ages of the universe. It's a shame that for so long, Harmony worked to keep her powers at bay for her family, only for them to be the cause of her loosing control. It was actually the corruptness of her powers that finally triggered the memories of her family on who she was. But it was too late, no matter what they said to her, she was too far-gone. For eons, her darkness reigned throughout the universe."
"But what of her light half?"
"It had lost, remaining dormant within Harmony. During this time, Harmony was known as Chaos."
"But if Chaos is my father, then how is Harmony, a GIRL, Chaos?"
"Ah, but your father was not the original Chaos, nor am I the original Cosmos. In fact, Harmony was both the original Chaos and the original Cosmos, though she gave up both names to once again be Harmony. The darkness she had spread throughout the cosmos was so great, that it began to gather, and eventually, formed a child. The child was like Harmony, in the sense that the body was somewhat similar…" At Quatre's confused look, Usagi explained.
"Harmony's mother, sisters and brothers all had celestial bodies, whereas she had a body that looked like…ours. The child that came to being from her darkness was a baby, but the body was like…ours, well, when we were babies, that is. The cries of the child penetrated through the haze of Harmony's mind, and when she laid eyes on the baby, her then dormant light half immediately broke through. The dark ages ended because of the baby, who, amazingly enough, would grow to be the new Chaos."
"WHAT?!"
"It is true. Harmony took in this child, officially naming him Cavan, though he was called Chaos at all times, save when she was scolding him or such." Usagi gave a slight giggle.
"He was a good child. He had yet to take upon his duties at that time, and was actually, very innocent and…could have been mistaken for a light child, had it not been for that aura around him. Eventually, he grew lonely, and Harmony, seeing the child she had grown to love as a son lonely, allowed the light half of her to take over.
She became Hikari, and the Golden Ages of the Universe arrived. As had occurred when she was Chaos, her light spread throughout the universe and gathered, creating another child. This time, the child was a girl, whom she named Hikari.
As she did with Chaos, she took in Hikari, more commonly known as Cosmos. As they grew, the love between Chaos and Cosmos grew to be that of lovers."
"But weren't they brother and sister?!" Quatre shuddered in disgust.
"You must stop interrupting, Sol." Usagi sighed.
"Iie, you see, they were not born from Harmony, or at least in the sense of them to actually be brother and sister. In actuality, Chaos was born from the darkness that Harmony had spread, whereas Cosmos was born from the light that Harmony later spread.
As I said before, Cavan and Hikari grew to be lovers, and a remarkable couple they were! Cavan lived up to his name, and was by far the most handsome man in the cosmos, whereas Hikari, too lived up to her name, and was said to be the light of the universe as well as the most beautiful woman in the cosmos. Cavan often told Hikari she was his light.
So deeply in love were they, and with Harmony's blessings, they planned to wed, but by that time, Fate and Destiny had realized the power they held, with the ability to control the lives of the people. The power went to their heads, and believing it would show all just how powerful they were, they forbid the love between Chaos and Cosmos. Furious, Harmony ordered them to revoke their decree, but they refused.
Heartbroken, Cavan and Hikari killed themselves. If Harmony was furious before, then no word could describe what she was when they killed themselves. Beyond livid, she tore holes in the universe in her anger, which as you know, would be known as black holes, later on.
She blamed the deaths of the two on Fate and Destiny, and in punishment, she refused them eternal relief, knowing that Fate and Destiny both had loved ones in the afterlife that they would be able to join when she freed them of their duties. She decreed that they be sent to a corner of the universe, where they would forever spin out the lives of others, save three. They had never been able to spin out the events and paths that her life would be able to take, but they had been able to somewhat control Chaos and Cosmos's lives. She made it so that when they could not."
"But they did control your lives!" Quatre interrupted, confused.
"Ah, but I was not Cosmos then. Now let me continue."
"But isn't Hikari and Cosmos the same?"
"Iie, Hikari was the love-stricken girl, whereas Cosmos became the guardian. The same goes with Cavan and Chaos, now do not interrupt!
After seeing to Fate and Destiny, Harmony looked at the fallen bodies of Hikari and Cavan. Refusing for their lives to end in such a way, she sent them to be reborn. Forlorn, Harmony willed herself into a deep sleep, her physical body disappearing. Now, no one truly knows what happened to her at this point, though it is rumored that she melded with the order of the universe. Without her physical form in the way, Harmony was now truly one with the balance, and though she slept, she continued to keep an eye out for the two tragic lovers. They were reborn in various forms, never able to find each other, the work of Fate and Destiny, whom had grown bitter from their punishment.
I know you wish to know how Fate and Destiny would be able to control their lives if Harmony had made it so that they could not control the lives of Chaos and Cosmos."
Quatre nodded.
"When they were reborn, they were not born as Chaos and Cosmos, but rather, Cavan and Hikari, though usually with somewhat altered appearances. As Cavan and Hikari, they were susceptible to the works of Fate and Destiny, whom decided that they would never find each other in their lifetimes.
But they did. Hikari was reborn as the high Princess Serenity of the Silver Millenium, and Cavan, Prince Endymion of Earth. As in their many other lives, their physical appearance was somewhat altered. They were not to meet, but with a small intervention on Harmony's part, they met. Naturally, they fell in love, and you know of the downfall of the Silver Millenium. That lifetime, because Cavan and Hikari had crossed paths, they were to transform back into Chaos and Cosmos.
However, when Cavan/Endymion died, so grief-stricken was Hikari/Serenity that she killed herself, never transforming into Cosmos. If she had, perhaps Cavan could have been brought back with her. Queen Serenity, seeing their deaths sent them to the future, in hopes of a happier future. You know the rest of the story, now do you not?"
"Hai, though I am still curious. How is it that Chaos managed to fight Endymion before you became Cosmos?" Quatre almost regretted ever wanting his mother to explain this story. It was not only confusing, but the haunted look in her eyes was almost too much to bear.
"A thousand years after the fall of the Silver Millenium, Hikari and Cavan were to be reborn. However, sensing their rebirths would occur soon once again, Harmony called forth their spirits, in hopes that they would reunite in spirits, where Fate and Destiny could not hurt them.
She never completed it. She had only managed to bring forth Chaos, without a physical body, when Cavan was born, known as Mamoru. Four years later, Hikari, known as Usagi was born. Cosmos was dormant, after all, Chaos was not present, so she had no reason to surface in any way, shape of form.
Naturally, Chaos did his duties. As Cosmos is guardian of light, Chaos is guardian of dark. Cosmos makes sure that darkness never gains too much power, as Chaos makes sure light never gains too much. In this way, they keep the balance, and in a sense, keep the peace of Harmony. After a while, sending minions to Earth to toy with his counterpart, Mamoru grew boring. He decided to go himself, though he would need a physical body. He decided that he would complete his duty and at the same time, finally merge with Cavan again. You know of the Sailor Wars. He never did get to merge with Cavan.
Another thousand years passed, and he decided to once again, merge with Cavan. It did not work. He was Chaos, and in the end, I became Cosmos. No longer were we Cavan and Hikari, but Chaos and Cosmos, sworn enemies because of our duties. When I banished him, he was finally able to merge with his Cavan half, and become as whole as possible.
We can never become whole. He and I are two halves, forbidden to each other."
"But you said Fate and Destiny cannot control you as Chaos and Cosmos. Why can't you two just get back together?"
"Cosmos and Chaos are the warriors. Hikari and Cavan are the star-crossed lovers…do you understand? As Cosmos and Chaos, we must ignore any emotions we have for each other.
We swore, long ago, before we were first reincarnated that in thanks to Harmony, we would not let our feeling affect our duties. Forever sworn adversaries, we shall ensure that what Harmony stood for shall not fall. I am Yin, and he, Yang. We are forever fated to love each other from afar, and despise each other nearby." Tears ran down her cheeks, as Usagi, no, Hikari stared into her son's eyes.
"But..how..if.."
"The night you were conceived?"
"Hai." Quatre gave a sheepish nod. Hikari smiled, peaceful with the memory.
"It was the work of Harmony. Chaos and Cosmos was left behind, and in their place, Cavan and Hikari. We…uh…" She blushed. "We.." More blushed. It was easy to tell where Quatre got his blushing problems from at this time.
"I don't need to hear this!" Quatre's eyes were wide, his face as red as his mother, though while his mother's expression was that of a long-ago contentment, his was of current disgust.
"Well..you asked for it!"
"Ewwww….." Shudder.
"Well, if it wasn't for that night, you wouldn't be here!"
"Why didn't you tell me all of this earlier?" Resentment shone in his voice.
A deep sigh. "You were too young."
"SHIMATA! I AM NOT TOO YOUNG NOR HAVE I BEEN TOO YOUNG FOR THE PAST CENTURY OR SO!" Quatre exploded.
"ENOUGH! DO NOT SPEAK TO ME IN THAT TONE!" Usagi turned blazing silver eyes to her son.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME! YOU MADE ME GROW UP HATING MY FATHER!"
"I LET YOU GROW UP AS FAR AWAY FROM MY PAIN AS POSSIBLE!"
"YOU WERE THE CAUSE OF YOUR OWN PAIN! YOU AND YOU DAMN SELFISHNESS! YOU DIDN'T WANT HOPE AND I TO HAVE A FATHER! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A SELFISH PERSON WALLOWING IN THEIR SELF-LOATHING! HOPE AND I USE TO WISH WE COULD MEET OUR FATHER, BUT YOU TOLD US HE WAS DEAD! WE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HE WAS LIKE, BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU HAD JUST SEEN PAST YOUR OWN PAIN FOR ONCE! WE HAD TO GROW UP WITHOUT A DAD!" Quatre inhaled, still feeling the anger as strong as ever. For so long, he had believed his father dead, only to find that his mother had lied to him, and his sister their whole lives. Their father was alive….he was mother's enemy….he was THEIR enemy. The anger built up once again. His mother had deceived him his whole life!
"I use to think you were the greatest mom, but now, I know…you're the worst mom! What other lies have you fed us?! What other betrayals have you committed?! What other sins have you committed because of your selfishness?"
"Sol—"
"IIE! YOU LIED TO US! YOU LIED TO US OUR WHOLE LIVES! DOES HE EVEN KNOW ABOUT US!?! OR DID YOU LIE TO HIM TOO?! NO WONDER DAD CAN SO EASILY PRETEND TO HATE YOU! HE PROBABLY DOES, HEAVEN KNOWS I HATE YOU!" A shaken hand covered Quatre's mouth as soon as the words escaped. He had not meant for that to happen, to say all those horrid things…he had not meant to..to..
But the damage was done. Her back facing towards the man, her son, Cosmos mustered the strongest voice she could.
"Leave."
"Demo—"
"Leave." The voice was the same she used on her previous enemies…it was the voice she used before going for the ultimate and final blow.
"Demo."
"Leave." It was the voice of a stranger…no, not a stranger. She had used that tone before, as she would say the final words her enemy would ever hear. It was the tone she used AS she was making her final blow. Quatre, no, Sol, left.
And Cosmos gave way to Hikari, as she crumbled to the floor, sobs racking her body.
"C…Cavan…"
----------------------------
Leaning against the door, Sol looked up towards the ceiling, his eyes glassy with tears. He heard the heartbroken sobs of his mother, and closed his eyes, turning his face to the side.
"C…Cavan…" and louder, harsher sobs made its way to his ears.
'Gomen nasai…I didn't mean it…' He thought silently to himself, and made his way back downstairs, to where the others were.
'Mama…gomen nasai…forgive me…'
------------------------------
"Hikari…." A lone figure sat in the middle of darkness. "Hikari…aishiteru...."
In the distance, weeping could be heard. The figure looked up towards the sound, a sad bitter smile making its way onto his face.
"I took her…but I was never able to look at her….."
The weeping continued to echo around the darkness, and the bitter smile turned into a mournful frown.
"Aishiteru, koi…forgive me….."
-------------------------------
The fallen body of Relena stayed, slumped at the center of the room. Crimson red dripped from a thin trail on the side of her cheek.
"Gods, Heero, did you have to shoot her?! You could've hurt her!" A close to hyperventilating Millardo glared, his gun trained on the perfect soldier.
"Hn"
"No offence, Hee-man, but that was uncalled for. You didn't even let her explain…"
"Hn."
"What do you think, Trowa?"
"………"
Tsuki growled at the man who attacked her mistress…well, the body that part of the spirit of her mistress was occupying.
"That was a bit rash, Heero. You frightened her to…a faint. I, for one, would like to know what she meant by Relena's murderer!" Noin crouched beside Relena, wiping away the blood.
SOON to be murderer." Rashid corrected.
Relena's eyes fluttered open, the dull look gone.
"Wha…what happened?"
"Hee-man shot you…but that was when you were possessed by that spirit thing again!" Duo chirped up. Hey, why shouldn't be chirpy? It was either that or go nuts…personally, there were enough psychos in the house to build a…well….he didn't know..but he knew there was more than enough nuts in the house.
Speaking of nuts…where was Quatre…boy, the nutso gene must run in that family. With his mother, him, and even Tsuki..though Tsuki wouldn't be family though, would she? He turned to the said tiger.
She was looking back at him, growling and glowing as always. He turned his attention back to—WAIT! Let's do a recap.
Tsuki was looking at him. Check
She was growling at him, possibly thinking of several ways she could torture him, then use his bloodied carcass as a scratching post, and all because he had hit on the babe…who happened to be the mother of her owner. Check.
And she was glowing. Check.
Hm…well look at that. He wasn't going all crazy, Tsuki really was glowing. Isn't that nice? Tsuki was glowing.
Please excuse while he point that out.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!!!!" yup, that caught their attention. Immediately, all attentioned diverted from whatever it was on before, to Duo, then to Tsuki.
Tsuki continued to glow, until she split into three balls. The balls floated gently in the air before growing into three figures.
The first figure was a tall male, with white hair and a medium complexion. His eyes were closed, so it was impossible to tell its color. A golden crescent moon was on his forehead.
The second figure was a tall female, with long wavy dark purple, almost ebony hair, almost reaching her knees. The top half was pulled back into two buns on either side of her head. Her eyes were also closed, and like the male, a golden crescent moon graced her brows.
The third figure was smaller than the other two. Her hair was pulled back into heart shaped buns on either sides of her head. Like the other two, she also had a crescent moon set between her brow, her eyes shut.
Instantaneously, their eyes snapped open.
"Majesty…" They gasped out, before falling to the floor.
Click.
Click.
Click.
And even more clicks.
Anyone who held a gun in possession now held it in their hands, training it on the three figures who had at one time, been Tsuki, a large tiger.
And were now three human looking people, if you didn't count certain facts…especially the tail of the smallest girl.
"Luna…Artemis…..Diana…." Quatre's voice gasped out from the entrance of the room, before a look akin to realization seemed to hit him.
"Kuso….."
---------------------
Upstairs, an empty guestroom lay open for inspection. It was immaculately clean, and if you looked in front of the vanity, you would find a crimson rug that stood out against the otherwise white background of the room.
On a closer inspection, you would find a note, with only one thing written on it on the vanity.
Cavan.
The closest scrutiny would reveal tearstains marring the paper and wetting the floor.
What you would not be able to figure out, unless you had gone into the room earlier, was that the crimson rug was supposed to be creamy beige.
And unless you were well trained in the arts of magic, you would not be able to sense the magic left behind by an ancient blade, with an unknown origin.
And perhaps, if you were extremely well trained, or had an extremely keen sense of sight, you would be able to see the silver sparkles floating in the air, slowly fading at of sight.
But one word would echo throughout your mind, though you may not understand it.
Hikari….
