Chapter Twelve
---------------------------
Recap:
"Cavan…it is about time we join…again." And Chaos laughed, though it was not as evil nor cold as it once had been.
'Hikari…Cosmos….wai'nai-ne…'
Chaos could not explain his own thoughts, and would deny ever thinking those words.
--
"How did you even manage to go near them? To go near them, you must sacrifice some— sister…what did you sacrifice?" Destiny looked at her sister, her eyes a tearful horror.
Fate looked up at her sister, a twisted smiled on her face.
"My soul, sister."
------End Recap-----------
"MAMA!" Hope cried out, her voice hoarse. Not far off, Hikari nearly flew towards the sound of her daughter's voice.
"Hope! Mama's coming!" She cried out. "Hold on, Hope, just hold on!" Her chest was heaving now, her legs burning but she would not stop—could not stop. "Hope…" She whispered happily, as she saw her daughter.
"Mama?" Hope looked disbelieving.
"Hope." Her arms were wide opening, beckoning.
"MAMA!" Hope shrieked in joy, running into her mother's arms.
"Hope, my little Hope…shh..mama's here. Hope…My little Hope…"
-------------------------
In his unconscious state, the boy twisted and turned, in an unfitful rest.
"Yes….rest…" a quiet voiced hissed. A black mist filled the room, and when it vanished, the body of Wufei stood, staring blankly at the figure lieing on the bed.
"…Sleep…" That said, mist surrounded the body of Wufei, as he became part of the mist, entering the boy's body.
"Cavan…."
---------------------------
"Cavan…" Cavan's eyes widened as he spun around.
"Kiyoshi?" Cavan's eyes held confusion. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?"
'Kiyoshi' smirked and chuckled evilly.
"Foolish Cavan…did you think we would part for long?" He asked, eyebrow quirked. Cavan's eyes widened, and his eyes held disbelief.
"Iie…"
'Kiyoshi' once again chuckled.
"Oh yes…don't worry…this won't hurt a bit…"
--------------------------
"Mama? How did you get here?" Hope asked. Hikari smiled gently down at her daughter.
"Harmony sent me."
"Harmony, okaa-san?"
"It's a long story, mesume. Now rest…I imagine your father must've kept you quite busy…" Hikari's eyes held a pained look. Hope's eyes widened.
"My…father, mama? Demo…he's dead…" Her eyes shone with confused innocence. Hikari's eyes widened.
'Cavan…never met her?' She thought to herself, puzzled.
"Demo…he is very much alive, Hope. He brought you here…are you saying you never met him?"
"Hai, mama…I've been alone all these years."
"Oh Hope…" Hikari embraced her daughter.
'Cavan…I don't understand. You took my daughter away from me, but never approached her. Didn't you want to meet her?' Hikari's eyes widened in realization.
'Our daughter, Cavan…oh heavens…Cavan…Oh heavens. You just wanted to meet her…meet your daughter. Oh heavens Cavan, how could I have been so blind? Forgive me, koibito…forgive me.' She rocked back and forth, Hope still in her arms.
'How could I have been so cruel? So heartless? Oh Cavan, what have I done? She is your daughter too…you have every right to see her. Oh Cavan, why didn't you let me know? Why did you stay so far away, doushite? Doushite?! Cavan…your daughter…Hope..and your son, Sol. You would be so proud of them, I know it! Oh Cavan, doushite? Why can't we be together?
Doushite? Why did they have to break us apart? Cavan…' Unbidden tears sprung forth from her eyes.
'Cavan…I understand now. How you felt all those years when you were forbidden to see your children…I understand now. Demo, doushite, koibito? Doushite?
Why did you have to take Hope away from me like that?
You could have let me know…put me at ease. Doushite? Why did you let me feel that fear, that torture of not knowing where my dear mesume was? Doushite, Cavan?
I would have understood! Cavan…you hurt me so badly…but I hurt you just the same…oh Cavan…onegai, forgive me…' And, as she held the peacefully sleeping form of her daughter, Hikari allowed herself, for the first time in thousands of years, to cry over her forbidden love, her shattered heart.
--------------------------
"So…okaa-san, Hope, AND otou-san are all in the same place?"
"Hai, young Sol."
"And they're all in someone's dream?"
"Hai, young Sol."
"And I know this person's whose dream they are in."
"For the last time, HAI!" Harmony's pupiless eyes shone with annoyance. "By the highest, you fledglings these days dawdle so!"
Sol's face was indignant, but then became serious.
"Demo, whose dream?"
A sigh.
"I cannot tell you that."
"Onegai?"
"Iie."
"Onegai?"
"Iie."
"Onegai."
"IIE! Ask one more time and I won't bring Yumeno Hana here!"
"Yumeno…Hana?…HANA?!"
"Hai. Yumeno Hana."
"You'll bring her here?" Sol's face was nearly glowing with hope and elation.
"Hai hai." Harmony waved him off. "Shall we check on our guests?"
"Hai hai! When will you bring Hana?" Sol was glowing with delight.
"Soon."
And they made their way upstairs, Quatre/Sol practically skipping.
-------------------
"Nani? I must've heard wrong, nee-san. I thought I heard you say—" Destiny was cut off.
"I sold my soul." Fate repeated. Destiny stared at her sister, horror etched across her features.
"Doushite?"
"For us, sister! Don't you see? With this," here, she gestured to the thread of metallic blue light she still held cup within her hands, " we can regain our freedom!"
"Nee-san, at what cost?!" Destiny's eyes were wide, disbelieving. "At what cost shall we gain our freedom, sister?"
"It matters not." Fate closed her eyes and the metallic blue thread disappeared. "As long as we are free, imouto."
"Shimata, nee-san! Have you no sanity within your head?!"
"I am perfectly fine, Destiny! Don't you understand?! I'm doing this for us, for you!" Fate argued.
"Sister! You speak of murder!"
"What difference does it make, sister?! We have murdered before! Every time a lifeline is cut, every time we snap a thread of life, we kill! How shall this be different sister?!"
"This is the death of a soul!" Destiny hissed out.
"It shant be our first time!" Fate spat back.
------------------------
"Cavan..come on…join me again…" Chaos, in Kiyoshi's body murmered.
"Iie! Hikari—" Cavan was interrupted.
"Hikari has left you. You stole her daughter away from her. You of all people should understand her pain. For centuries, she was without knowledge of the well being and location of her daughter…her hope. Do you honestly believe that she could love you? Could forgive you?!" Chaos hissed. His voice, strangely, did not sound as if he himself believe what he had just said. Cavan, however, was deaf to this.
"Hikari.." And her last words towards him echoed in his head.
'You killed us, Cavan…' His eyes hardened. "Hai, I'll do it."
"Excellent…" And black mist covered the two, and when it faded away, neither was present.
------------------------
Harmony and Sol had just made their way into the infirmary, in which all the unconscious bodies were being held. Just as they stepped foot into the infirmary, a black mist began to surround and leave one of its occupants, lieing unconscious on the bed.
"Nani?!" Sol gasped.
"Ah…so they finally join…again." Harmony enthused dryly, though her eyes twinkled with delight.
"Nani?" And a flash of light erupted, to be replaced by two figures.
----------------------------
"Cavan!" Hikari's head snapped up, and she turned towards the direction she had last seen Cavan.
"Cavan…what's going on?"
"Nani?" Hope woke up, yawning.
And the broken dream world they were in began to collapse into itself furthermore.
-----------------------------
"Kiyoshi!" Sol started to run towards Kiyoshi, but was held back by Harmony.
"Chaos." She said aridly, her eyes holding no emotions.
Chaos, still in Kiyoshi's body, as well as Cavan spun around to meet her gaze.
"Okaa-san, they both said in unison, scratching the back of their heads and grinning sheepishly. "Ano…what are you doing here?"
"Am I not wanted?" Harmony's voice was laced with warning, her arms folded, one foot tapping the floor.
"Ano…of course you're wanted, kaa-san…" Cavan looked at Kiyoshi, inhabited by Chaos, who in turn tried his best to smile innocently at Harmony. Unfortunately for him, Harmony had raised him and it would not work on her.
"Cavan Delano Ignatius Hadrian Chaos! What have you to say for yourself?!" Harmony sent a reprimanding glare to the two sheepish forms.
"Ano..gomen?" Both offered weakly. Harmony growled and both blushed ashamedly, looking down at the floor. Sol stared, amazed, surprised, and amused.
"Excuse me?! I must have heard wrong!" Harmony glared reproachfully at the two males.
"Heh heh…um….gomen nasai, kaa-san. I'll let go of this host immediately!" 'Kiyoshi' said, looking for all the world as if he had just been caught stealing cookies from the cookie jar right before dinner.
"Hai, kaa-san. Gomen nasai." Cavan muttered, preparing himself for the rejoining with Chaos.
Kiyoshi's body slumped onto the floor, unconscious as a black mist arose from him. The black cloud seemed to hover above him a bit, but an unamused glare sent towards him by Harmony caused him to immediately rejoin with Cavan.
"Better." Harmony stated, eyes lighting up.
"Ano…Harmony-sama, why do they call you kaa-san?" Sol asked. Hadn't she said she wasn't their mother? Harmony read his thought, and smiled gently at him.
"Hai, I did. However, I cannot seem to break them out of the habit of calling me mother." She smiled at Quatre, before turning to Chaos before her.
"Now, chibi Chaos," at this point, Chaos's face turned red in embarrassment and he sputtered, trying to spew forward words of protests, much to Sol's and Harmony's amusement. "Don't you have something you wish to say to him?" She gestured towards Sol.
"Hai. Who are you blondie?" Sol's eyes widened in indignation. Harmony slapped a hand on her forehead.
"Oi…and I wondered where Sol had gotten his stupidity from…" She groaned, earning another indignant look from Sol.
"Well, are you gonna answer me or stand there like an idiot?" Chaos stared hard at Sol, trying to place why he looked so familiar, and thinking of ways that he could make sure the boy revealed to no one his full name…or the scene that had taken place between Harmony and him.
"Chaos Chaos Chaos Chaos…haven't I raised you smarter than that? Don't you recognize him?" Harmony asked.
"Iie."
A sigh from Harmony. 'I raised an idiot…and he passed on his genes!' Harmony thought, not shielding the thought.
"HEY!" Came the indignant response. Harmony giggled slightly.
"Chaos, meet Sol, your son. Sol, your father. Now Sol, how about we bring Hana here?" Harmony gave neither the chance to respond to her introduction.
Chaos's jaw dropped, his eyes widened and bulged, and he was currently thanking all that he did not need to breathe, for his face could not change shades of red and purples from lack of oxygen. It did, however, turn red from shock and embarrassment, as well as hurt, at not recognizing his own son.
"HAI!" Sol enthused, his attention on Harmony.
"NANI!?" Chaos finally roared. Harmony turned innocent eyes to face her "son".
"What? You don't want to meet your daughter-in-law…your son's wife?"
