Yuki: Chapter four, RR please
I do not own MP but I do own Kage Yuri Kyomi the plot Vampirious and the cat.
Chapter Three: Lost Memories, Lost Friends, Old deaths, New deaths.
Kage put another CD in and must have fallen asleep; she was stuck in a dream that was somewhat pleasant or at least more pleasant than the others.
dream
Kage was sitting outside of Vampirious on a picnic table.
"Kage?" Yuri came out, "What are you doing out here?"
She glanced at him, "Thinking," she shrugged it wasn't a big deal to her that she had been sitting out there for a few hours now.
"Thinking is that it?" He sat down next to her, "Or is there something else?" the moon light shimmered on a cross he was wearing.
She ignored his questions like normal and looked at the cross, "Why do you wear that?"
He looked down and picked it up with his hand; the cross was silver and etched into it was rope that wrapped the cross as if it was holding it together, it was tied around his neck with a leather rope. "It gives me comfort."
"Why? Don't tell me it reminds you that God is there." She glared slightly.
"And if I told you that?" He glanced from the cross to her.
"I'd tell you that you are a naïve little boy; Even if there is a God, don't you realized we are damned?" She ask turning to look at the moon.
"How so?" He put the cross inside his shirt.
"We have killed, and we both are cursed, even if we were to die our souls would probably be sent to hell, or just disappear forever." She didn't look back at him, the wind had started to blow her hair around wildly.
"I don't believe that; we are getting rid of the creatures that are truly damned; we are using our curse to help not harm. God wouldn't turn his back on us." He sounded so hopeful that he was almost making Kage sick.
end
Kage woke up to a bang on the wall, she opened her eyes. Kyomi was standing above her. She bowed, her bruises were stiffer then the night before and it was all she could do to keep from shouting in pain.
"I'm leaving for work Kage, feel free to do what you want, but stay inside and out of trouble or you will be beaten to the point you can't move, understand?" Kyomi grabbed a leather jacket from the post of his bed; Kage nodded, "Good, you are aloud to stay with Yuri for the daytime if you wish, but be back in here by nightfall." He disappeared with a shift of the world.
Kage took off her headphones and stood slowly trying not to cause too much pain. She groaned slightly. Her foot was healed somewhat so she could put a little pressure on it and walk out of the room. She hopped down the stairs looking for Yuri; She hobbled passed the kitchen still looking.
"You shouldn't be walking around." Yuri's voice came from behind her and she couldn't help but allow herself a small smile. "I mean it Kage, come on." He picked her up and carried her to his room.
"When are you going to start training me again?" She looked up as he placed her on a small pillow.
"Once you are healed enough to wield a dagger properly." He sat in front of her, "Will work on psychological enhancement until then."
"Like what? My control is still good, so is my pain tolerance." She shrugged slightly despite the small shock of pain that shot up her back.
"Fear." He glanced at her, "I saw how much fear you have towards vampires you were never that way before."
"Yeah I was, I just hid it better when I fought them. I had it in my mind that if I fought them I would be free of them forever, that I would one day be able to return to normal life with out them in it." She turned away.
"You need to start thinking that again, Kage you are never going to be able to kill Kyomi until you start thinking like the hunter you are." He sighed slightly as Kage cut him off.
"Was, like I was Yuri." Kage's eyes seemed different she was remembering the past.
flash back
"I don't believe that; we are getting rid of the creatures that are truly damned; we are using our curse to help not harm. God wouldn't turn his back on us." He sounded so hopeful that he was almost making Kage sick.
She laughed coldly, a sound that Yuri had never heard before, "He wouldn't turn his back on us? Look where we are Yuri. We are in a hunting circle that cares nothing for us, we are in a different time then we were born in. We have no family, they're all dead, we are alone. Don't you think that counts as him turning his back on us?"
Yuri looked at her, she truly thought she was alone didn't she? "What happened to your family Kage, they died peacefully didn't they?"
Kage ignored his questions and jumped off the table, "I have an assignment, I'll see you later.
Awhile later Kage returned unharmed with a smear of blood on her black pants, probably where she wiped the blood of her kill after the fight.
"The great hunter returns." Yuri laughed as Kage entered the mess hall.
"Why is it that you insist on bugging me after a kill?" She grabbed a tray of food sat down and ate.
"Why is it that you insist on acting so cold to someone who is trying to show you that you aren't alone?" Yuri sat down on the table.
"Who say's I'm acting? I've had it with getting close to people, they just end up dead, that's why I work alone." She took a bite of something that looked like pasta.
"Perhaps you are acting, acting like an emotionless person who has no interest in anything but killing the one creatures that took your life from you, ripped it from your grasp." He looked down at her.
"Ugh" She rolled her eyes and left.
"What about you're food?" Yuri yelled after her before she had left the room.
"I'm not hungry, the site of your face made me lose my appetite." She left slamming the door behind her.
end
"Kage?" Yuri was waving his hand in front of Kage's face.
"Huh?" she blinked and looked his way.
"How did you become that way after you left Midnight?" He glanced at her face which showed that she had been zoning, "You alright? You look pale...paler"
"I just became that way and yeah I'm alright." She sighed leaning against the wall carefully.
"But how? Weren't you like this when you left Midnight the first time?" He picked at the subject.
"I had a few years before I joined Vampirious so drop it." Her voice was slightly sharp.
"There we go!" he smiled, "Think about the past and you will become just like you were." He laughed slightly.
Kage shook her head slightly, but said nothing.
"Come on lets get something to eat." He helped her up and helped her to the kitchen.
Kage sighed when she sat down she had never been in there before Yuri always brought her meals. Yuri left her sitting there while he went to get some food for them. Kage zoned off again, slightly pissed that her mind was focused on the past and not the present situation.
yet another flashback
Yuri walked into Kage's room, "No wonder you think God turned his back on you."
Kage turned around, "I thought we finished that subject."
"I found out how your family died, and I'm sorry." He stepped in more.
"There isn't anything for you to be sorry about nothing could have changed what happened," she motioned for him to sit down.
"How come you didn't tell me?" He glanced at her putting away clothes.
"I haven't told anyone but Marisa, and the only reason I told was so that she would let me in this circle." She shrugged slightly.
"Your father and brother were in a war?" He wanted to know more.
"A small war that wasn't even marked in history, it was a war between our village area and another." She sighed she didn't want to talk about this but she knew that Yuri would keep trying to pry for his information.
"They died there?" He kept prying hoping to find emotions in this girl that seemed so cold.
"Yes, leaving my mother and I alone in a place that women were belittled, nothing but toys to some men. If women didn't work to keep the house that their late husband had built and to raise the child he had left then they were both taken." She stopped for a moment looking down at the ground.
"Is that how you ended up in," He growled when he was cut off, she like cutting him off in mid sentence.
"Don't ask any more." She shook her head and walked out.
He followed, "I didn't mean to make you mad Kage, I just wanted to understand you more." The cross clicked against his chest as he walked behind her.
"Understand me? Why would you want to do that? I'm nothing but a pet remember?" she growled, everyone bugged her about that, something was bugging her about that now, but what was it? Yuri wanted to know but didn't ask. Kage stared at his cross, "Why do you still wear that thing?" She turned away she seemed calmed despite the fact that anger tinted her voice.
end
"Kage? Did you sleep last night?" Yuri had been sitting there for a few minutes waiting for Kage to move.
"Some," She looked down at her food.
"Some, meaning how much?" Yuri started to eat his food.
"Meaning enough," She started to eat also.
"You need sleep," He looked at her.
"I know, you can make sure I get sleep, I'm sleeping in your room today remember?" She finished already, apparently a little more hungry then she realized.
"Right," he smiled, "I'll go get your CDs and player so you don't have to go up those stairs on your ankle." He ran off.
She sighed thinking; Yuri really cared for her didn't he? She smiled to herself how can he still care after the way she treated him at Vampirious? He returned a few minutes later, "ready?" She nodded slightly as he helped her up.
He sat her down on the pillow again, something caught Kage's eye, "You still wear that cross?"
He nodded, "Not for the same reason, I keep it to remind me about the past." He held it in his hand.
"I see," She sighed slightly, "You always wore it, I don't know why I'm so surprised that you are still wearing it."
He laughed slightly, "And you always ridiculed me for it." He sat down next to her, the orange cat walked up to Kage. "She needs a name."
Kage nodded in agreement, "Let's name it after Jaguar's jaguar."
"What's the jaguar's name?" He looked at her, this conversation sounded so odd to him.
"Shayla," she smiled as the cat started purring.
"Alright the cat's name is Mini Shayla," he smiled.
"Min-Min" Kage laughed that had been the name of a girl that was in Vampirious with them.
He looked at her sternly, "How do you remember so much? Most pets don't remember anything from before they were broken."
She shrugged slightly, "I just remember some, I can't remember too much before I was taken into Midnight, so I can't remember my true life."
"But you can remember Vampirious." He sighed leaning against the wall.
"That wasn't really a life though that was something I did to stay alive but it wasn't truly living." She closed her eyes, the sun would be rising soon.
"It was a life for me, only because someone else there was like me; knowing how it was to see each decade go by but not seeing old age coming any closer then it was a hundred years ago." His eyes were closed now as well.
"I was distant from everyone except you, but when I was finally getting to know you, you left never returning." She sighed, "I vowed never to get close to anyone and when I slip up the same thing happened I lost you."
"You didn't lose me, I'm right alive and well," he smiled and laughed slightly.
She did also, "Yeah, so don't screw up and get yourself killed."
He laughed, "Rest, I'm sure Kyomi will have you running about with him at night."
She nodded putting on her head phones and curling up on the floor.
dream
A young Kage was being held back by Jaguar, she struggled against him as she watched what the others were doing. A woman was being chained to the wall by Jeshickah and the woman's master.
"Now watch closely dear," Jeshickah's voice was dripping with malice. She walked up to the woman, Jaguar made sure that Kage's face was watching her. Jeshickah drove a knife through the woman's shoulder slowly while twisting it. The woman screamed in pain Jeshickah laughed.
"Now my dear little pet, give in to us." Jaguar held Kage who was shaking at the sight of her mother's blood, and the sounds of her screaming.
Kage shook her head, her mother told her never give in, "NO!" Jaguar growled at her answer.
Jeshickah drove the dagger in to the other shoulder of the woman, still laughing. The woman screamed and her blood slowly dripped to the floor. Another Vampire came up wrapping his hand around the woman's wounded shoulder, his fingers becoming drenched in the blood. He walked up to Kage and licked his fingers in front of her face, she visibly cringed. She wasn't going to give in, or at least she wasn't planning on it; she heard an ear splitting yell she looked up, Jeshickah had stabbed the dagger through the woman's neck, yet she was somehow still alive. Kage's eyes widened as Jaguar dropped her and the three vampires went feeding on her mother, each at a different pulse spot.
end
Kage woke with a jump Yuri was sitting next to her looking down at her, "You alright? You were stirring a bit."
"I'm fine, just a nightmare, nothing new." She shook her head trying to rid herself of the memory.
"Come on it's almost sunset you need to be back in Kyomi's room." Yuri helped her up, "How's your ankle?"
"Better," she took his hand up, "I can probably walk with only a slight limp now."
He nodded, "That's good," He started to walk her back, they reached the door and he turned Kage to face him, "I've missed you Kage." He gave her a hug and moved her head so she was looking up, he kissed her. As soon as their lips met the door swung open.
"I knew it was a mistake to let you two be together." Kyomi grabbed Kage's shoulder throwing her away from Yuri. He then causally tossed Yuri down the stairs, Kage stood up grabbing a knife from Kyomi's belt while he wasn't looking and attempted to stab him. Unfortunately, Kyomi sensed her move, grabbed her wrist and threw her down the stairs. She landed on Yuri, who let out a small yelp. Kyomi suddenly appeared next to them with the knife in his hand, he threw Kage off of Yuri, her hand clenched something as she was thrown off it came with her. Kyomi stabbed the knife into Yuri's chest as the knife pierced Yuri Kage threw herself on to Kyomi trying to get him away from Yuri. Kyomi threw Kage into the wall knocking her out, and finishing his job with Yuri.
