Chapter Fourteen: Bad News
Yoko carried Tara back to the village, or what was left of it. Between Ura's and Himura's soldiers there wasn't much of a town left. Most of it laid in ruins under small fires and stuff.
Yoko laid Tara down on one of the only trees left standing. "You'll be safe here until someone finds you." He whispered to her, kissing her softly on the forehead.
She moaned in pain. "No." She said half dazed and in a whisper. "I'm ok. I'll come with you."
He looked in her eyes. "No not this time. You can't come with me. You need to rest."
"B-but what if you get hurt?"
Yoko smiled. Tara always cared about others first. "I'll be fine, I promise." He got up and as he did fog surrounded him and when it cleared he was gone.
/Talk about a family reunion./ Tara thought getting up from the ground. /I don't need rest, this village needs all the help it can get./ She swayed some and held the tree for balance. She looked around. The whole town was in ruin. Houses and even some demons her father and the war he brought.
"Lady Tara." Said a soldier. She turned around. "Oh good I have found you. We've been looking for you."
"Oh well you've found me. Is the battle still going on?"
"Yes my lady and unfortunitly I inform that they are winning."
"Oh no. This is bad. We'll need more soldiers." The soldier knodded in agreement. "Anyway why were you looking for me Kenzo?" Tara asked.
He looked down. "I think you should come with me." Kenzo started to lead the way. Tara didn't like the sound of his voice and followed closely, afraid of what may have happened.
He lead Tara to one of the only houses left standing. Some of the reasons it was still standing was that is was protected by a demon barrier and it was secretly hidden on the other side of the village. The soldier held some vines back so Tara could get through and knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Asked a voice from behind the door.
"Lady Tara and Captain Kenzo." Answered the soldier. The demon behind the door seemed to hesitate for a moment and there were voices talking then finally locks were unlocked and the door was open.
"Forgive me for taking so long to open the door my lady." The door demon said when he saw Tara and the soldier walk in. "And forgive me Captain for not believing you."
"Don't worry about it, security is tight." Tara said to the door demon. "You're doing your door job well. Keep it up."
"Yes my lady." He bowed then went back to his duty.
"Maam this way." Kenzo said entering a room.
The room was big and it smelled of blood and death. There were doctor demons and nurses running around trying there best not to lose to many.
"Where did they all come from?" Tara said befaffled. There were no doctors in there village.
"They came from Spirit World. Lord Koenma sent them when he heard that terrible battles were going on in Demon World. He also sent word for more soldiers but they probably wont be hear until the battle is over."
"Lady Tachi, Captain Tokogero." Said an approaching doctor; who was covered in blood. "Have you told her yet or did you bring her here to let someone else tell her.
"Doctor." Said Tokogero. "No I haven't told her yet. I thought she should her it from an expert."
"Hear what?" Tara said getting worried.
The doctor started to talk to Tara as he lead her to a back room. Kenzo followed. "Well you see this is a tough battle..."
"Just cut to the chase please, don't coat it." Tara interupted him.
"Oh of course. We've found both Himura and Rin badly wounded. We've had our best doctors and nurses go over them and we've tried our best but..."
"But what?" Tara said unshead tears in her eyes. "Please don't tell me that I've lost them." She started to cry.
The doctor looked to Kenzo then back to Tara and stopped at a door. "You must forgive us we've tried our best. Rin is badly hurt but we've finally got him in a stable condition. However Himura was badly wounded, he lost a lot of blood and he got to us later then Rin did."
"I-is he gone?" Tara asked tears still falling.
"No he's not gone but he doesn't seem to be getting better."
"Can I see them? Alone? Please."
"I'm sure the doctor will let you." Kenzo said hugging Tara.
"Yes you can see them alone. There right through the door whenever your ready you can go."
"Thank you doctor." Kenzo said. "I'm right out side this door if you need me, ok my lady."
Tara nodded her head went to the door, breathed a few breathes and went in. Inside there was a desk, some chairs, a few nurses, and two beds with Himura and Rin laying on them.
"Excuse me but I need some time alone with them." Tara told the nurses.
"Of course maam." One nurse said. She shooed the rest of the nurses out and left herself, leaving Tara and the two injuried fox demons.
Rin was the first to make any noise so she walked over to him first. His right eye was bruised and his head was in a bandage. He was pretty beat up. He had a major cut on his left leg and a stab wound on his side.
"Rin?" She asked as she squeezed his hand. "Rin, how do you feel?"
He breathed in a painful breath and opened his eyes slowly. "I'm not as bad as he is." He said indicating Himura. "We were so close." He breathed again. "But apparently we were furter then we hoped."
"It's horrible out there. I'm sorry I wasn't there to help."
"No I'm glad you weren't out there. You may have gotten hurt or worst, and I wouldn't like that." Rin smiled at Tara. She wanted to ask what happened but Rin got to it first. "You want to know what happened out there don't you?"
Tara was going to say something when the head nurse came in. "I'm sorry to bother you but they need their rest."
Tara sighed. "Ok I'll be out in a few." The nurse nodded and left. Tara turned back to Rin. "I'll be in later to check on you ok." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead and then slowly went over to Himura. He was beat up pretty bad too. He had at least twice as more wounds as Rin did. A nurse came in and smiled at Tara then sat down at the desk. Tara concluded that she was one of those 'watch' nurses.
When Tara left the hospital wing of the building she went over to the cafiteria wing. There weren't too many people there because most were in the hospital wing, so she sat and ate alone with the exception of a few people coming and going.
"It was him, you know." Said a mysterious female voice. "The dark one with the dragon and flames."
Tara sighed. "Hm." She would have figured much. She remembers the dark one very well. He was the one who killed her sister and family. "Is he still here Katsumi?"
Katsumi raised her brows she wondered what Tara was up to.
"Well?" Tara asked.
Katsumi had a bad feeling but still consented with her cryistal ball. "Yes he is here."
"Good." Tara said opening her golden eyes which held an evil glint.
"Don't do something stupid Tara. There is something displeasing on the horizon." Katsumi said as she disappeared.
"Who was that?" Kenzo said walking up to the female fox.
"It was an old friend of mine. Listen Kenzo can you stay alert on Rin and Himura's conditions?"
"Um sure. It sounds like you're going somewhere."
"I'll be back later. Thanks." and with that Tara left out the door to go and find this dark one with the dragon. /This time he'll pay for what he has done./ Tara thought going out onto the burning land.
Finally this chapter is finished. I had writers block for awhile there, but I have finished. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed and thanks for reading. I don't know if this will be the only chapter I update because my family and I are going on a summer vacation trip before school starts on the 30th. Anyway I wonder what Katsumi said about something being displeasing? I know but do you? Plus I have put in a twist and I have been giving some hints throughout some of the chapters. You're willing to guess what the twist is but if you don't want to you can wait until I reveil. However I won't reveil my happy little twist until the sequel. Evil aren't I. lol. Well I'm sure you're tired of reading what I am writing and want to get on with the story so I'll let you go and write the next chapter.
