Chapter Thirteen
-------------------------------
Recap:
"This is the death of a soul!" Destiny hissed out.
"It shant be our first time!" Fate spat back.
--
"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.
--
"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?"
---------End Recap---------
Destiny reared back, as if she had been slapped.
"Nani!?" She gasped out, in horror.
"Surprised, sister?" Fate grinned crazedly. "What did you think happened to him?"
"I..iie! You…you lie! We have never killed a soul! We hurt them, but never death!" Destiny cried out, fists clenched, one at her side, the other, her chest. "We never hurt him in such a way!" She hissed, more so to herself than her sister.
Fate scoffed at her sister. "Believe what you will sister. But we HAVE hurt him…more so than one may imagine."
"Iie! You lie! We have hurt him, I deny that not. Demo, we have never KILLED his soul!"
"I do not lie, sister." Fate turned, back facing her sister.
"Sister! We never destroyed his soul! Kiyoshi is a strong one, he would not let the death of his lover destroy his soul!" Destiny took a step towards her sister, eyes blazing with a denied truth.
"Hah! Sister, did you not see yourself after the death of Cesar?" Fate grinned coldy, beginning to walk away as Destiny eyes became shrouded in the hurt of the past."
"You are not one to talk, sister." Destiny said softly. Fate faltered.
"Desi…" She whispered his name. "My Desi…"
"Our souls did not die, sister…" Destiny sighed, shoulders drooped.
"And what makes you think that?!" Fate spat out.
"You were still able to sell your soul." The curt reply struck deep into Fate's buried heart.
"I did not sell my soul."
"You became a damned. Willing to sacrifice all for your own enjoyment." Destiny's reply was so frank, Fate had no wish to deny it.
"It matters not whether or not our souls are dead, sister." She resumed her walk, walking farther away from her sister. "Besides…" Fate turned her head to look over her shoulder, eyes boring straight into that of her sister's.
"We'll just be completing the task we started eons ago…"
---------------------------
"Mama, what's going on?!" Hope cried out, eyes gritting in pain at the light her mother was emitting. Surrounded by darkness for so long, her eyes had grown accustomed to the cool dark. She placed a hand in front of her eyes, shielding it from the brightness and purity of the light.
"Shhh…Hope, darling. Mama is just making sure we won't get hurt…" Cosmos soothed her daughter, turning to show eyes shining with gentle warmth.
She stood before her daughter, garbed in a flowing cloak of white gold. Her eyes had been closed in concentration, but she had opened them to reassure her daughter. Her hands were clasped together, in a prayer pose, as she called for the power she needed.
"Close your eyes, darling. Don't worry…mama will make sure you're fine."
Hope complied without a complaint. Her mother was back, what more did she have to worry about? She would soon be with her brother again, and their family united, just as it had been before.
--------------------------
"Wha..wha..wha..wha…" Chaos sputtered, eyes wide, jaws dropped. He was the most interesting shade of purple and Harmony giggled slightly.
"Well, Chibi-Chaos…did you think your son took no notice of any girls? He is more like his father than he may like to think."
Silence ensued, with Chaos and Sol both staring indignantly at Harmony. Harmony stood, patiently waiting for them to regain their senses…and to stop sputtering such unintelligible nonsense.
"WIFE?!! MARRIED?!!" Chaos finally roared, awakening the occupants in the room, save one.
"Hai…did you expect him to marry himself a husband? Now Chibi-Chaos, you know that our Sol will not play the part of the nagging wife well." Harmony chuckled, enjoying the expressions on all present faces.
"I wouldn't know." Chaos said stiffly, and Harmony's face grew somber. A tense silence followed, to be broken by Sol clearing his throat.
"Ahem..shall we bring Hana?" He asked, looking at Harmony hopefully, and Chaos strangely. He didn't seem at all bad nor evil.
"Hai hai, but first." Harmony walked to the only sleeping form in the room.
"Onegai, Harmony-sama, what is going on?" Relena asked.
"Ah Relena-san, I shall be needing your half of Hope back, I daresay."
"Whoa…whose he?" Duo asked, staring at Chaos curiously. AN- Hm..i'm pretty sure I told SOMEBODY I would change Chaos's appearance…
"Master Quatre/Sol!" The maguanacs immediately cried out, and had it not been for the withering gaze that Harmony sent them, they would have jumped out of bed. Still, some did dare to jump out of bed, only to find themselves thrown up to the ceiling.
"Stay!" Harmony ordered. "You're all ruining the moment!"
"What moment, babe?" Duo grinned flirtatiously, only to be met with the unamused glare from Harmony.
"Hmph! If Destiny could only see you now!" Harmony turned her head away from a confused Duo, nose in air. "Grr…that dramatic moment when all is revealed! Do you work on being such a baka!" She glared playfully at Duo, who shrunk back. He had just come to terms to all that was happening…and THIS is what gets thrown back at him?
"…" Naturally,Trowa ever the silent one. His visible eye could be seen taking in the scene ahead of him.
"Onna, what's going on!? Who are you?!" Kiyoshi, better known as Wufei, stared at her, hiding his confusion with demands.
"Ah, Kiyoshi, the Justice. Watching you was quite heart wrenching. I must say, I am greatly saddened by your losses." Harmony watched sorrowfully as a multitude of emotions flickered through the ebony of Wufei's eyes.
"How do you know…" He trailed off, Harmony giving him a comforting, yet sorrowful smile.
"I tried to give you two another chance, here on Chikuu-sei. But it seemed Fate had other plans."
"Meiran…" Wufei whispered, his eyes clouded.
"Hai, Keiko. Seigino Keiko, known as the late Chikuu-jin, Chang Meiran of Chikuu-sei. Wife of Seigino Kiyoshi, wife of Chang Wufei." Harmony recited. She shook her head sadly and suddenly, and instantly, her sorrowful gaze vanished.
"Let us first release Hope and Hikari, hm?" Harmony looked at the prone body of pilot 001, eyes closing in concentration, her hands pulled to a prayer position, centered to her face. An ethereal glow seemed to surround her.
"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT ALL THIS TIME, HOPE HAS BEEN INSIDE OF YUY?!"
"DO YOU MEAN MY SISTER HAS BEEN IN THE BODY OF HEERO?!"
"HEE-MAN'S A GIRL?!"
A shrill scream.
----------------------
"MAMA!" Hope cried out, as her mother's own eyes snapped open, her eyes pulsing silver. A metallic light began to envelope the forms of both her and her mother.
"Hope, do not worry." She said, her voice a soft reassurance.
"Demo…" Hope faded, her eyes closing as her body involuntarily relaxed.
"Harmony…" She dimly heard her mother say, before the light finally consumed her.
-----------------------
Silence reigned in the room, as a bright light formed atop of Heero's chest, floating gently for a bit. The ball of light moved to the other side of the bed in which Heero rested, growing larger with every passing second, it's brightness increasing in intensity. When it seemed it could glow no brighter, it gave off one final blinding flash, before fading. In it's wake, laid the forms of two figures.
-----------------------
His eyes took in the scene around him. It was completely dark.
"Not a pleasant scene, is it?" A soft voice asked him. Immediately turning towards the direction of the voice, Heero's eyes widened just slightly as he took in the people.
The woman had a slightly tanned complexion, her chocolate hair pulled by in a loose ponytail. Her pea-green blouse brought out green eyes that gazed at him sadly, though pale lips were pulled into a small smile. A pale lavender skirt accompanied the blouse, and her only jewelry was the silver wedding band adorning her ring finger.
The male beside her had a tanned complexion, contrasting with his unruly honey locks. Prussian eyes stared ahead, a slight smirk present upon his lips. A silver band shone on his ring finger, contrasting to the midnight dress shirt and black pants he wore.
Immediately, upon instinct, Heero had his gun trained on the two.
"Who are you and who do you work for." It was not a question. His eyes slightly flashed with annoyance as the woman gave a sudden giggle, and the male merely stared amusedly at him.
"Do what you wish, Yuy Heero, Gundam Pilot 001 of Wing Zero." The male dared him. "You cannot harm us."
"Omae o koruso."
"Honestly, he takes after you, you realize." The female glared playfully at her male counterpart.
"Hn." The male figure hnned her.
"Don't you hn me mister! I know where you live…erm..that is…" she searched for words, as the male flashed a small smile her way.
"Well..that is…I can go after you for the rest of eternity!" The female beamed, proud with herself.
Click. The safety was switched off.
"Omae o koruso." Heero stated, this time leveling his gun to point at the female. The two strangers before him exchanged an amused look that was not unnoticed by Heero.
"Odin Lowe Jr.! You can't hurt us! Now, put that toy away!" The woman looked at her male counterpart, rolling her eyes. "I'm going to have to have a lil chit chat with that crazy doctor. What a coot, teaching a young child to play with a dangerous weapon!"
Heero's eyes twitched. Mr. Blaster?! A toy?!! How dare she!
"Though I must say…Mr. Blaster and Mr. Tapper…how cute!" The female giggled, gushing.
Heero's eyes widened slightly. How did she know…? His eyes narrowed. He pulled the trigger.
And watched as the bullet went right through the female.
His eyes widened a fraction.
"I told you so!" the, in Heero's mind, insane lady, stuck her tongue out at Heero, earning an exasperated look from the male next to her.
"Chika…" The male sighed, eyes closed in slight annoyance.
The female, newly discovered to be Chika groaned. "Ooh! You're no fun, Kei!" The female stuck her tongue out at the male, who shook his head. Seeing this, the female merely laughed, and turned her attention back to Heero.
"Hey…you've grown up to be a cutie…too bad you've got the attitude of SOMEONE I know, no names mentioned. *cough*Kei*cough* Ahem…gomen about that…I seem to be catching a chill.." She smiled innocently at a glaring Kei.
"Hn.."
"You're right! We haven't been introduced!" She chirped cheerfully. Heero looked on at in annoyance, catching the sympathetic look from Kei. She reminded him of a certain braided boy by the name of Duo.
"Watashi wa Shino Chika." She smiled brilliantly at Heero, who stared back at her indifferently. Her smile faded somewhat. Turning her head to look at her companion, she looked at him expectantly.
"Hn?" He quirked an eyebrow. She scowled, glaring at him.
"Well? Introduce yourself!"
"Hm…no." The male, named Kei turned to look at Heero, gestured towards Chika, and rolled his eyes upward.
"Grr..you're insufferable!" Chika shrieked, turning back to Heero.
"This lunkhead over here is Shino Kei, my husband."
"Hn…"
"Well, it's nice to meet you too, Heero. Or would you prefer Odin? Or perhaps, you would prefer your original name."
Silence.
--------------------
Harmony's eyes slowly fluttered opened, and she gave the two figures a dashing smile as her hands fell to her sides. Stepping closer towards the prone form of Heero upon the bed, she raised her right hand, placing it just above Heero's heart. Her hand glowed with a warm light, a spark of flame seeming to jump from her fingertip and into Heero's heart.
--------------------
"My name is Heero."
"Hai, I suppose it is so now." Chika sighed sadly. "Demo, when you were first born, your parents named you Yukio."
"Hn."
"You want to know how we know this, hm?" Kei wrapped an arm lazily over Chika, giving her a tender smile.
"It's simple, really. You, Shino Yukio, are our son."
Heero made no movements, though his eyes widened at this unexpected news. His hold on his gun slightly loosened.
A bright flame seemed to burst through the darkness, its searing flames sizzling at Heero's skin, though the two made no move to signify that they could feel it.
"Ah…so Harmony is planting." Chika smiled sadly. "I'm glad…it is not your time."
------------------------
A motherly look seemed to play on Harmony's features, as she smiled softly down at Heero's prone form.
"Li'ua siya remoi, yein ni." A hand caressed Heero's cheek, seeming to calm the tense body.
"Now…come back to us…"
Harmony leaned down, her lips brushing against Heero's forehead in a gentle kiss.
-------------------------
The flame seemed to burst, spreading its light everywhere.
Despite his training as the perfect soldier, Heero's eyes widened in shock, his eyes riveting to meet the gaze of the two whom claimed to be his parents.
"You'll be watched over, even if you don't believe us." Kei gave an almost sorrowful smirk to Heero.
"No matter what you do, say, or think…you will always be our son." Chika wrapped her arms around the waist of her husband, smiling gently at her son, her eyes shining with a sorrowful pride.
"When you find her, don't let her get away…"
And the bright light engulfed Heero.
--------------------------
A bright light burst within the room, coming from Heero. Everyone staggered back, save Harmony.
"Come back to us…" She murmured again, this time a bit more strongly.
And the light seemed to pulse a final time, before dieing.
And cold Prussian blue eyes snapped open.
--------------------
"The task we started eons ago?" Destiny questioned, her question echoing through the room.
"What did you think happened to Harmony when her dear Cavan and darling Hikari first killed themselves?" Fate sneered, pausing to peer over her shoulder.
"She…was angry. So angry her powers consumed her."
"Her powers were all she had left…because Cavan and Hikari took with them to the afterlife, her soul!" Fate grinned maliciously.
"They did no such thing! They would never hurt her!" Destiny cried.
"Is that why, sister? Is that why you have allowed them to meet up, again and again?!" Fate cried out, incredulous. "Is that why I was forced to make them who they are now, so soon?"
"You enjoyed causing them pain!" Destiny hissed.
"They caused her to turn on us!"
"Iie, WE caused her to turn on us!"
"She was unreasonable!" Fate hissed. "We were first! Why should they be the favorites?!" Fate's eyes blazed with angry envy. Destiny's eyes widened.
"Is this what it is all about, sister?!" Her eyes blazed angrily. "All this time, all of this, because you were jealous?!"
"We came first, sister! WE should be the ones who she favors! And we were! Until they came along! They ruined everything!" Fate hissed, spinning around to face her sister.
"Heavens sister…you're going to kill her for that? She never favored us!" Destiny cried.
"Hai, she did! Did you not see how much she adored us?!" Fate's eyes bore into that of her sister's.
"All worshipped us, in hopes of gaining her favor! We were her favorites! We were daughters to her! And then they came along! They ruined everything! They became her children, and we? Cast aside as she tended to them!" Fate's chest heaved, her fists clenched, and her nostrils were flared. "They took her away from us!"
"Iie, sister! They were children! They meant no harm!" Destiny cried out. "Why have you not realized that?!"
"No, sister. Why have YOU not realize it? No, you did, once…long ago…when—"
"When I helped you…destroy them." Destiny murmured, disgust in her voice.
"Hai…don't you see, sister? Half of her soul died with Hikari and Cavan…by doing this…we will be reuniting her soul…and then…then…" Fate trailed off, eyes glazed as she envisioned her dream.
"Forgive me, sister." Destiny clenched her fist, eyes shut tight as tears ran torrents down her cheeks.
"Do not worry about it, Destiny…you are young."
"Iie, I do not ask for forgiveness for my beliefs."
"Then for what shall I forgive you?"
"You are one of the damned sister…far too gone as a damned…"
"Iie, I am a blessed one, sister. Now, what foolishness need I forgive you for?"
"Forgive me…for I am betraying you."
------------------
"Omae o koruso."
Silence.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!" Everyone flinched as the banshee cry echoed throughout the perimeter. Harmony vaguely registered the blonde blur that ran by her, clutching onto Heero as if he were her lifeline.
"Oh Heero, I knew you wouldn't die that easily!" Relena paused, placing a hand on Heero's chest. She broke out into a grin. "And I knew you weren't a girl like Duo thought you were!" She failed to notice Heero's resentful and aghasted stare as he heard that comment.
"O…om..omae..o.." Heero tried to form the words to threaten Duo, but Relena's grip prevented him from saying much, much to Duo's amusement.
Quatre, as all this was happening, was impatiently tapping his foot against the floor. When was Hana going to come? When this was over, of course! And when would this be over? Never, at the rate this was going. Many would have been shocked to see the scowl on his face, but as they were currently too busy staring at Heero and Relena, including his sister, they did not see that scowl.
A minute passed.
Still, the scene continued to play out in front of him.
Come on now, he had not seen his wife in person in centuries!
Another minute.
Grr…Hana was SO much more important than Heero at the moment…how can she not be? She's his wife!
Another minute.
Baka Relena for being that obsessed girl she was…baka Heero for being so…stalkable by Relena…baka Duo for egging Relena on…baka Trowa for..well..staying silent…baka Kiyoshi for doing nothing but muttering about weak onnas…baka Millardo and Noin for doing nothing…baka maguanacs for not figuring a way to unstuck to the ceiling….baka kaa-san for just staring at Heero and Relena, amused…baka father, for laughing his butt off at the scene right now…baka Hope for clinging onto mama and not helping Heero…and most of all…baka Harmony for FORGETTING TO BRING HIS HANA TO HIM!
Had anyone read his thoughts currently, they would certainly be surprised.
But hey, how would you feel if you hadn't seen your soulmate in centuries, meeting only in dreams, and even then, that was not enough to satisfy your needs. Why..the last time Sol had seen his dear wife Hana was…well, months ago! Those agonizing months! And then, that had been in dreams.
Sol glared at the scene ahead of him, and one could, think that he and Chaos had switched personality, as Chaos was currently blushing abashedly as Harmony scolded him for laughing at "the poor mortal boy who has an insane banshee cutting off his air supply in a sad attempt to murder the unfortunate boy" instead of helping him when it was his fault that "the poor boy is as he is because SOME baka decided that he would have to destroy a dream to see one of his children when all he had to do was ask the mother of his children but he couldn't do that because he was such a dense imbecile" and to make matters worse, he "had unfortunately spread his dark and idiot genes as his son was currently sulking over not having Hana over because of the scenes taking place when he should stop it himself, but he didn't realize that because he had received Chaos' brainless genes, was an idiot, and was now currently—"
"HEY!" Sol cried, indignantly huffing at Harmony. "I AM NOT BRAINLESS!" Harmony merely rolled her eyes.
"Suuuure you aren't…look at your father…" She shook her head sadly. "I have no one to blame but myself…perhaps if I hadn't let him peer over the edge of the cliff and fall down when he was just a babe…or perhaps if I had gotten him down that tree branch when he so stupidly disobeyed me and managed to get himself tangled within the branches, hanging by his under—" Harmony was cut off by an embarrassed Chaos.
"KAA-SAN!!! NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THIS!"
"I do!" Hope cheerfully cried out. Hikari smiled, remembering the story. Sol would have wanted to hear this story too, honestly. But, he also desperately wanted to see his wife.
"ENOUGH!!! RELENA! GET OFF OF HEERO BEFORE I MAKE SURE THAT PINK IS NO LONGER A COLOR!"
So he couldn't actually make sure pink wasn't a color…but hey..SHE didn't know that!
Relena immediately let go of Heero, who while trying to regain his breath, flashed Quatre/Sol a quick thankful gaze.
Everyone else stared, surprised. Sol took several deep breaths, feeling a headache hit him full force.
"Harmony-sama…" He turned to look at Harmony, his eyes pleading.
"Onegai…Hana…" He trailed off as Harmony smiled understandingly at him, her eyes amused.
"Of course." She closed her eyes in concentration.
Once again a bright light filled the room.
And once again, when the light died down, a new figure was in the room.
She was average height, though her aura demanded attention. Regally, she stood proudly in the room, though her striking green eyes showed her confusion. Silky pale blonde tresses, shades paler than Sol's own hair, fell to her knees in waves, adorned with pearls. The pearls met at her forehead, where they formed a large ring to embellish the sides of the large emerald that rested at the very center of her forehead, where her forehead met her hair.
She was petite; her slim form covered in a pale apple green gown of satin, the puffy gauzy sleeves ending at her wrist, where small white pearls formed intricate designs up to her middle finger. A chain of silver and pearls, with two emeralds on both shoulders kept up a flowing silk cape. Around her neck, three chains of pearl were pulled tightly together, and a drop tear emerald rested between her collar bone. A slim hand raised to her throat, as she let out a startled gasp.
"Sol?" She questioned, her voice wavering. Sol stared back at her, eyes watery.
"Hana…HANA!" He rushed to her, picking her up and twirling her about, her regal demeanure dropping as she shrieked with joy. He finally stopped, placing her down, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I've missed you." She whispered in his ear.
"And I, you." He whispered back.
"Hey Q..er…Sol..whose the babe?"
Wasn't Duo SUCH a SMART boy? And yes, there IS suppose to be sarcasm in that…
Sol growled, and Luna, Artemis, and Diana AN-didn't forget about them, didcha? , whom had sometime during this whole fiasco reverted back to Tsuki, growled. Hikari sighed and slapped her forehead, as Harmony smiled amusedly. Kiyoshi, too, smiled, though his seemed to glint with a depraved amusement.
"Duo…." Sol turned to Duo, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Y..yeah?" Dup eeped, slowly backing away.
"When you see Saturn, tell her I send my greetings…"
"S..Saturn..that…person who..uh…is the warrior of rebirth?" Duo asked nervously.
"Hai…and the keeper of Death…you've always associated yourself with Shinigami…now meet the real Shinigami, or…Saturn, the SHINIMEGAMI!!!" Sol lunged for a petrified Sol.
"Sol!" Hope cried out. "Violence is not the answer!"
"SOL!" Hikari's voice did nothing to cut Sol out of his stupor.
"Sol-sama! Cut off his braid!" Kiyoshi cheered.
"KICK HIS BUTT! TEACH HIM NOT TO TALK LIKE THAT TO YOUR WOMAN! OH MAN! MY SON!!" Chaos cheered, jumping up and down. He quieted and looked down as Harmony sent him a withering gaze. "Erm..that is…um…gomen nasai, kaa-san?" He offered meekly.
Harmony sighed.
"Sol-koi!" It was his wife's voice that stopped Sol, his arms just millimeters from completely closing around a pale Duo's neck.
"Onegai…stop this…" she pleaded with him. Immediately, Sol let go of Duo, who then found himself face to face with an angry Tsuki, as Sol rushed to his wife's side, apologizing profusely to her.
Harmony took this scene all in, a slight frown on her face.
The frown deepened as she noticed Chaos disappear.
'Where are you going?' She sent the telepathic message.
'Back to my post.'
'Hikari…'
'Has made it clear she despises me...onegai, kaa-san…'
A mental resigned sigh.
'Hai, Chibi-Chaos…but you must face her, someday.'
'I have all eternity…' And the link closed.
The frown worsened, even more so as Harmony noticed Hikari's despondant gaze.
It lifted slightly as she saw Sol and Hana together.
And worsened again as she noticed Hikari slipping out of the room…or, in truth, teleporting out of the room, with a final sad gaze towards Sol and Hope. She could have sworn she saw a gleam of light shimmer at the edge of Hikari's eyes.
A teardrop.
A tug at the back of her mind.
….Destiny…
….Pleading for help…
…..Wazhita oi sha'ma……
-------------------
"Betray me?!" Fate asked, incredulous.
"Hai…it's for the best…perhaps one day, you can see that." Destiny replied, void of all emotions save sorrow.
"Stop speaking such nonsense sister! You have no power to—" Fate stopped, her eyes wide as her sister began to glow with an aura not totally her own. Destiny's aura was usually a pale lavender, but this glow was mixed with a metallic color.
Fate's eyes narrowed.
Only one person in existence had a metallic aura.
…Harmony…
"Forgive me…perhaps one day…retribution will be found for your lost soul…"
A large wave of lavender surrounded by metallic silvery blue and a hue of gold was sent towards Fate.
"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS, TRAITOR!" Fate hissed venomously, before collapsing to the floor, darkness evading her mind.
"If it is for the best, then I can live without your forgiveness…sister…" Destiny replied sorrowfully, tears coursing down her cheeks.
Then she, too, was enveloped in light, and when it died, she was gone. A final thought was whispered into the room.
'..,Perhaps now…peace…freedom…'
----------------
The night was quiet. Everyone was tired, and on Harmony's orders, went to bed.
Any questionings would be answered tomorrow. All inhabitants of the house were in bed, Hope having her own room, Hana rooming with Sol (to many's amusement and confusion), and Hikari and Harmony also with their own room.
Slowly, the night gave way to the day.
Harmony stared up at the sky, as the final star twinkled and vanished, the heavenly rays of the sun overpowering it.
Metallic blue eyes flashed.
And a shrill scream erupted, echoing within the building.
----------------
