Chapter Ten

-----------------------

Recap

"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….."

=====

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….

-----End Recap-----

"Prince Sol." Luna nodded her respect to her youngest charge.  "I had hoped to meet again under better circumstances."

"Mama…" Quatre whispered, his voice filled with horror.  "Iie…mama…MAMA!!" He cried out, spinning around and racing upstairs, in hopes that his thought was wrong.

"Prince!" Diana called out, starting to run after him.  Luna and Artemis followed her, their eyes shining with unshed tears and infinite sadness.  The others followed, confused.

----------------------

At the exact center of the universe, was a lone star.  The lone star has been there for as long as anyone could remember, and not even Fate nor Destiny could say how long it had been there.  For so long, the star had slept there, giving off a metallic blue, twinge with a silvery gold light.

'Little ones…'

The light the star had once shared with the rest of the universe began to twist around, instead forming a cocoon around the star itself.

-------------------

Destiny and Fate silently wove their tapestry, their eyes closed.

'Little ones…'

Their eyes snapped open.  They shared one fearful look with each other, though underlie it was an ancient regret, almost hidden by the deep sadness, grief and acceptance within the olden depths of their eyes.

"Has she?" Destiny was not sure whether to be hopeful or fearful by the possible awakening, and her voice seemed to crack, either from her uncertainty, or from lack of usage in hundreds of years..

"Let us see." Fate and Destiny gracefully sat up from their seats, elegantly making their way to a large fountain.

"Seirnai." Fate commanded softly, with a voice unused for hundreds of years in the tongue of a language long forgotten.

The water in the fountain seemed to shake for a moment, only to settle back down. Mist seemed to rise off its surface, forming a veil of secrecy, before the water began to show an image.

"Yurnisaro…" Destiny swore.   AN- translations will be at the end..and by the way…I made up this language^^;;

--------------------

"KAA-SAN!" Quatre slammed the door open, rushing into the room.  His eyes widened at the site of the empty room.

"Iie…" Denial shone in his eyes.  "Iie, Kaa-san, iie…"

"Prince!" Diana ran in after him.  Seeing his still form, she timidly approached him.  "Sol-sama?"  She had just softly questioned when her parents entered followed by a horde of people, most of whom were left just outside of the room.

"She's not gone.." his denial almost bordered insanity.  Artemis sighed.

"Gomen nasai, my prince.  Please, accept thi—"

"IIE!" Quatre spun around, and they all saw the tears running down his cheeks.  "SHE'S NOT GONE!  SHE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME!!!  SHE PROMISED!  SHE PROMI—" he stopped, staring in front of the vanity.  The others looked at the source of his silence, only to be met with a cherry rug.

"My prince?" Luna stepped up.

"Iie….." he moaned, falling onto the floor, sobbing.  "Iie…" a heart wrenching whisper could barely be heard from him.

A concerned, yet confused Duo turned to face an equally concerned and confused Trowa.

"Why is Q crying over a rug?" He asked.  His only reply was a silent stare.  Luna's gasp caught their attention.

"Sweet Selene, don't let it be true.." Luna's tears now coursed freely down her cheeks.

"Luna?" Artemis looked at her, confused.  In reply, she pointed to the rug, her eyes telling all.

"Would someone PLEASE explain what's going on?" Millardo was thoroughly confused.  No one answered.

"Explain." Heero was met by silence.

"Please, what is going on?" Relena was finally answered.  Quatre turned to her, his eyes red and puffy, cheeks damp and tears still running.

"Mama's dead, Hope."

--------------------------

Darkness.

Everywhere she turned, it was darkness.  Where was she?  What had happened?  What was going on?!  Why was she here?!  She should've been brought to the afterlife!

"Iie, little one."

That voice…

"Hikari…."

It was her!  It had to be!

"Hikari…doushite?"

"Sa'maa?"  Her voice was hopeful as she called out in a long dead language.

"Hai, Hikari, hai."  A white light formed in front of her.

"Sa'maa, bojinai zira da?" Hikari tilted her head, curious.

"You will not return just yet, yein limai," Hikari smiled at the old term of endearment Harmony had used to address her.

"Dosi yaman na?" She asked.

"In a dream realm where your youngest cannot find…" The calm voice of Harmony came from the ball of light ahead of her.  "She is here…as is he…"

"Nai'u?"

"Your daughter…and yein yalma…" Hikari's eyes opened wide.

"You…you jest…surely, you jest!"  Her voice was painful.

"Jest, I do not…you shall stay with them for now…li'ua siya remoi, yein ni …"

"Demo…how??" The tinkling of Harmony's laughter agitated Hikari.

"Go now, yein ni." And the bright ball of light vanished.

"Ja, sa'maa…" Silence took over and once again, Hikari was surround by nothing but darkness.  Time passed by, and she held herself.

"Hikari?" She froze.   That voice.

"Cavan?" She turned around.

------------------

At the center of the universe, the cocoon surround a dead star burst opened, sending waves of energy throughout the universe, carrying with it a message for all.

'…I have come…'

And through it all, a feminine figure could be seen where the cocoon had once surrounded, standing regally, eyes closed.

'…I have arrived…' the silent statement could be heard throughout the universe, though it never escaped the lips of the figure that was its source.

All events that had unfolded since the deep sleep flashed through the closed eyes of the figure, whom silently bore the pain.  Two tears escaped tightly closed eyes, as she saw, again, the pain of her two wards, of whom she had come to think of as her children.

"It is time…"

Pupiless metallic blue eyes, with a silvery gold shine in it shot open.  Not seconds later, the figure vanished, though her silent voice could be heard, weaving itself into the hearts of all in the universe, instilling a fear of the unknown into their very cores.

"…Wazhita oi sha'ma…"

--------------------

"Quatre?  What are you talking about?" Relena's eyes shone with disbelief and confusion.

"Hope…she's gone…" Quatre murmered blankly.

"Gomen nasai, prince." Luna brought the boy into her embrace, and Diana joined in.

"She's gone…she promised…" Quatre continued to murmer to himself.

"What's going on?" A still confused Millardo asked.

"She's gone.  She killed herself with the Shi Blade…" Artemis supplied.

"Who?" But no one answered, and no one needed to.  The only intrusion of the silence that surrounded them were the sobs escaping form Quatre and Diana, though tears coursed its trail down Luna's and Artemis's cheeks.

No one else mourned, and how could they?  They never got to know Usagi, nor did they truly comprehend what her death could possibly mean.

"It's over, then." Diana whispered.

"Hai, it shant be long now 'til we feel the affects." Luna closed her eyes, sighing.

A light giggle rang across the room.

"Nani?" Artemis and many of the room's occupants looked for the source of the giggle.  A light formed in front of Quatre.

"How easily you give up…" the light died down to reveal a female with an ageless mystical air about her.

"Who are you?" Luna demanded.

"Now now, Luna, do watch your temper.  I realize it may have come as a shock to you three felines of the moon to split back to your original forms so suddenly."

"How do you know that?" Artemis took a defensive stance.

"It is quite saddening how little you have learned to use your brains throughout the millenniums…" the mysterious figure gave a mock sad sigh.  "Though perhaps you are just in denial that you have your old form, once again.  I suppose if I had been merged to form a tiger, only to be able to revert back to my original form when Hik—" She paused, and an almost pained look flitted through her pupiless eyes.

"I suppose," she began slowly, "if I had thought Usagi," she said the name almost painfully, "had died, then I wouldn't be rational either."

"You mean mama is still alive?" Quatre seemed hopeful.

"Hai, you're mother is very much still alive."

"Where is she?!"

"Now now, little prince, I cannot tell you what cannot be said.  You know where she is…"

"Iie, now tell me!

"Such disrespect you display!" Metallic eyes shone with mirth.  "I suppose you get that from your father."

"You know my father?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I?"

"Ano…how?"

"Fledglings these days, I do believe they have the curiosity of a cat." She ignored the pointed glares coming from three occupants in the room, whom had taken offense to her words.

"Mind your manners, you three.  'Tis not polite to glare, remember?  Now, dare I believe you wish to know of my identity?" She turned her eyes, shining with a golden and silver light to Quatre.

"Hai, and please, I would like to know where my mama is, and how you know my…father…"

"You're mother is safe, in your realm.  Though I do believe you cannot access this part of your realm, such a shame it is too.  Ah…to be so hurt that you would block your own powers." She sighed dramatically.

'She's enjoying this way too much…' went through everyone's minds, and she only smiled a secretive smile in response.

'It's good to have a body back…' She thought to herself.

"What?  I did no such thing, Miss…" Quatre trailed off.

"Oh, you did do such a thing, young Sol.  So affected were you by the disappearance of your sister that you involuntarily blocked yourself from this area of your realm."

Quatre's confused look was priceless.

"I….did?"

"I have no reason to lie, little Sol.  But fear not, your mother is safe with your father."

"Wait…isn't his father that Chaos guy?  The one who took control of Wu-man or Kayoshi or whatever?  Does that mean she's with the Wu-man?" Duo butted in.  The stranger sent a disapproving look his way, and he felt himself looking down, ashamed, feeling as if he was a child being scolded by his mother.

"Such manners you lack, child of Earth." She chided him softly, before turning to stare at the blond boy before her.

"Your mother was deeply wounded by yourself, and might I add, I am greatly displeased by your actions."  She gave a pointed glare at Quatre, who looked at his feet, ashamed.  "She called for my blade, once again, and tried to kill herself, knowing it to be futile.  Now, I could not let her die, if only for a while, so I intervened and saw to it that she be sent to be with Cavan.  It is such a shame that they could not fully merge, that I must say.  They would be so much happier…so much more powerful, if only they would be as one."

"Mama and…Chaos?"

"Of course not, Child!  Though it is they I speak of, yet at the same, not the way you may believe.  Hikari and Cosmos, as much as she may deny it, are one and the same.  Cosmos is her front, Hikari her inside.  The same goes for Chaos, quite a shame too.  So serious did they take their duty, that they themselves created another form of them.  The form that have now been called Hikari and Cavan, though it is false.  I see you are confused, as I believe it is only right.  This shall clear when the time comes."

"Must you always speak in riddles, Miss…" Quatre was confused.

"Ah, how very rude of me.  You must forgive me, I have not had much contact for eons.  Please to finally meet you face to face little one, I have watched you through sleeping eyes for so long."

"I am pleased to meet you also, though I wish I could place a name to my guest."  Even in such a strange time, Quatre could not put off his duties as a polite host for long.

"Harmony.  I am Harmony."

--------------------

"Hikari…" Cavan murmered, hugging Hikari's sobbing form tighter.  A single tear made itself known at the corner of his eyes.

"Cavan…I've missed you…" Hikari clutched him tightly, as if he would vanish.

"As I have you…as I have you…" he murmured, heart clenching.  What would she think when she found out?

How long they stayed in each other's embrace does not matter, for even if it were for millenniums, they would still believe it had been too short a time when they parted.

"Hikari…what…how?"

"Sa'maa…"

Cavan's eyes widened.

"Sa'maa?  How is she?  Is she back?  Can we be?"  His questions was interrupted by the soul shattering kiss from Hikari.

"She sent me here…to you." She huskily murmured when they finally parted, snuggling deeper into his arms.

He couldn't tell her…yet he couldn't NOT tell her…

"Cavan…I've wished to be held in your arms for so long.  Every second of every day, I wished for you to be by my side…if…if it wasn't for Sol and the thought that you would have died too, I would've forsaken my duties the day Hope disappeared."

Goddess…why did this have to end so soon.  He had to tell her, the hurt in her eyes, and her heart as the result of her daughter had to leave…but…what would she think of him?

"Hikari…I wish we could be together for eternity…" He murmured into her hair longingly.

"We are together now…"

"Iie…you will hate me."

"Nani?  I could never hate you!"

"You will, because I am a monster."

"Iie, you are not a monster!"

"Hai, I am, and you shall hate me when you find out what I did…how I hurt you."

"Nani?!  What are you talking about?!" her large eyes looked at him, pleading with him.

"I…" He stepped away from her, backing away as she stepped forward towards him, and felt his heart tear when she looked at him with hurt eyes.

"I don't deserve you, Hikari, not after what I have done."

"What did you do, Cavan? Surely, it was not that bad!"

"Iie…I…I hurt you, Hikari?"

"Iie, you didn't!"

"Hai, I did…I..I.."

"You could never hurt me, Cavan!" Her voice was confused, yet, determined.

"But I DID!  I DID hurt you, Hikari!  I never meant too!  I just wanted to see them, and then, she…but I never…gods, Hikari, I'm sorry!  I never meant too!"

"What are you talking about Cavan?!"

"I did it, Hikari." His voice was dead, his eyes, emotionless.

"Did WHAT?"

"I took Hope away from you."

----------------------------

"She won't be happy…" Destiny looked worriedly at Fate.

"I know…she'll ruin everything!" Fate glanced towards the direction where their tapestry laid.

"Maybe…" Destiny looked at the form of Harmony, and gave a regretful sigh.  "Perhaps it is better that she awakens…"

"What are you talking about?!" Fate spun around, and grabbed Destiny by her shoulders.

"Face it, Fate.  She's the only one who can free us from this..this..curse!  She's the only one who can give us freedom!"

"Destiny!  She WAS the one who placed us in this curse, who took away our freedom!"

"But it was our own fault!" Destiny cried out, staring defiantly at her elder sister's eyes.  "WE let our powers get into our heads, WE disobeyed her, and WE…we…we hurt them…" tears streamed down her cheeks.

Fate solemnly let go of her younger sister's shoulders.

"It's our fault, Fate…we were so selfish…and now look at us.  We didn't want them together because WE couldn't be with our loves…and we paid the price for being the cause of their deaths." Destiny looked at her sister's eyes.

"So perhaps…perhaps it is better this way.  They deserve to be together, can't you see?" Destiny sighed.

"You always were the soft one, Des.  Always trying to get the two together…"

"And you were always trying to prevent them from ever seeing each other…"

"Let's get back to work." Fate's voice was cold, emotionless.  She spun around, and headed to her tapestry, Destiny's voice echoing in her head.

"…because WE couldn't be with our loves…" her sister had said.  Had they truly been so blind, so selfish?  Did they truly deserve this curse?

"Desi…my Desi…"she murmured to herself.  What had happened to her love?  She had felt him reborn, but that was it.  Something kept her from feeling him any other time, from seeing him, again.  She knew that anyone of the people's fate she wove could be his incarnate, but she could not tell whose.  Many of the faces of whom fates she wove she could see, but just as many, she could not.  Her heart twisted at the thought of him, again.  How she longed to see him, his emerald eyes shining at her as she played with his russet hair.

"Desi…my Desi…" Destiny heard her sister's voice murmur the name of an ancient lover. 

"Oh Fate…" She looked at her sister sadly.  Then, looking back at the fountain, she let her own tears fall.

"Cesar…" She whispered the name of her own lover, of whom she could not see. 

"Cesar…come back to me…" One final tear drop, and a wistful smile appeared upon her face as she pictured the lover she had not seen in eons, with his twinkling indigo eyes, and chestnut hair.  Then, she too, left to her loom.

The water in the fountain shook once again, and when it stilled, an image of a woman with long wavy platinum hair with silver highlights that turned red at the end appeared.  The top half of her hair was pulled into two heart shaped buns on the side of her head, with the rest left down in gentle waves appeared.  Her complexion was fair, her nose small, but pert, and her full lips a natural rose color.  Her metallic eyes, with a silvery gold twinge held no pupils and shone with sadness.  When she spoke, her voice came out of the water, and echoed softly around the empty room.  No one did hear her when she spoke.

"…It is time…"
