Ch11 _Raiko's_Past_and_Vixen's_Fall_
___________________________________________
*Hiei's p.o.v*
I had turned off all the lights in my room,and pulled the black drapes surrounding my window closed. I had
lain on my bed,eyes shut tight,thinking about what Yusuke said. That was EXACTLY the way he felt,plus even
weirder feelings. I sighed,opening my crimson eyes to look at the ceiling. It WAS very quite and peaceful,until
I heard Botan shouting downstairs.
"Everyone,hurry!Koenma has locked on to Raiko's energy,and it's nearby!",she shouted.
I jolted upright,and ran to the door,then downstairs in a sprint. I sped into Koenma's office,finding him jumping
up & down on his desk in toddler form. He was trying to get a remote-control to find a channel on his LARGE
tracking television. It finally clicked on,showing a fast blur running,then tripping over herself. I realized it was
Raiko,in a fit of tears and bruises from tripping,and bumping into things. She was panting,her body paler than
the last time I had seen it.
"Some...body....p-p-please....he-e-elp...me...",she whispered.
My eyes grew wide in horror,seeing blood trickel from the corner of her mouth,onto her hand that lay on the ground,
steading herself down on all fours.
"I wander what happened Koenma-sir....,could you find out?",asked Botan hopefully. Koenma fidgeted for abit,before
breaking his 'bad' news,Botan recognizing this as a thing he did often,frowned.
"Afew moments ago,when we tracked her near,she was being covered by mass energy,and her own energy was
reacting as if it were being ripped apart,inch by inch,in a slow torture....",he lead off.
"Yes,then?",asked Yusuke impatiently.
"We don't know.You see,she is dead,but we found out whats keeping her alive,and causing her pain,"I quickly
cut him off,
"What?!?",everyone turned their gaze curiously over to me,Yusuke wearing a slight,knowing smirk. I was
wondering what he THOUGHT he knew,but I wanted to know of Raiko's status also.
"As I was saying,whats keeping her alive,is a force that won't allow her to die,...,her soul. Her memories are
causing her pain. You see,we found out that Raiko was put into a serious state of amnesia after her death,
she forgot even why she was killed. All she can remeber is the pain it caused her,and ontop of this agony,
there is a demon after her,forcing her to remeber everything,every tragedy that happened to occur in her
life. The only way we are gonna solve this case,detectives,is for her to come into realization with her death's
cause,and I'm afraid,that the demon got to her before we did,as you can plainly see....and none of us have
any sort of a bond with her,since she ran from us."
"Actually," Yusuke started,but quickly stopped when I glared at him.
"Actually what?" asked Koenma.
"Just whatch the screen and see for yourself..",he said,and everyone obeying,looked at the screen.
Raiko had stood herself up,her bangs darkening her face,tears dripping to the ground. She turned her
face towards the sky,murmuring softly,then to where they could at least make out what she was saying.
"H-h-hiei,where.....where are you....I'd give anything just to see you right now.....please..."
"HIEI?!?",Koenma shouted.
"Hiei,why didn't you,you knew where she was in the first place?!?Why didn't you tell us??",he asked
now really confused. Yusuke was wearing an I-told-you-so smirk,but his lightened up. I felt heat
rush to my face,but then I looked back at her figure up on the screen. Everything hit me then.
I WANTED to protect her,and still do,am still going to. I flitted from the room,and towards her location.
__________
*Raiko's p.o.v*
I was starting to give in,give in to these little voices inside my head.
'Guilty!'
'She didn't kill Vixen!'
'Raikou run,get out of here!'
Then,as my body gave in,firm hands gripped my waist. Warmth welled up inside me. I knew who it was,but
he didn't get here fast enough,it was.....happening again....
-------------
*flash-back*
"Dear,would you get something for breakfast,I would do it myself" she teased"but I can't because of my leg."
The kitsune smiled.
"Of course Vixen! Did you want cherie berries,or oran berries?",I asked playfully.
"Hm,it doesn't really matter,just get back soon,you never know when a desperate creature will want you for
a snack." she teased again.
The younger me looked thoughtfully at her broken and bandaged leg,smiled,turned,and walked out to look for
some 'breakfast berries'.
She had only been there a few moments,looking in the bushes,before she hadda shirt full of small,dark red,
berries,her and Vixen called 'cherie berries'.
Vixen had been caring for me as her own,since my true mothers death,but my depression still scared the
top of my heart,though I never let it show to Vixen. Little me sighed and started to walk back to our normal
sleeping tree.
When I had got there,though,Vixen was nowhere in sight.
"Vixen!C'mon Vixen,this isn't funny!",little me called out. Then,I heard something in the distance,a scream.
"*gasp* Vixen!!!",I yelled,sprinting towards the noise. I came to a large cliff,more commonly known as
'Prye's Drop.
"Rinji,you foul creature,leave her alone!" Vixen cried,as she was shoved over the side of the cliff,and
was now clinging for dear life to a root that stuck out from the cliffs,soft,dirt side. She moaned in pain
as she struggled with her broken back leg.
Then,the 'creature' turned to me,a same pair of black and silver eyes turned coldly towards me,blackness
drifting around his already engulfed body,and shifting outwards like night's fog.
"Raikou,run and get out of here!Find Vulan!!",she screamed.
"No,I won't leave you!" I screamed back,sprinting towards her,bending over the cliff and grasping my
hand around her paw,trying to pull her up. She whinced in pain,as I tried to lift her,my berries rolling
from my shirt and over the cliff,to the deadly waters below.
I had struggled in pulling her,but my concentration was shot when she yelled out,
"Dear,look out!!",she cried. I whipped my head around,just to see Rinji push me over. My fingernails
dug into the branches bark,as I tumbled and grabbed. Tears welled up in my eyes,and strung over my
face like stringed bead necklaces.
"Darling,let me go,or else you'll never be able to pick yourself back up!",she pleaded me,but my grip
on her paw only tightened.
"I won't let you go!I've already lost one person I love,and I'm not losing you too,not if I can help it!!"
I realized I was about to die,but didn't care,I just didn't want to lose her.
"Isn't this cute,being a little hero,trying to save your sweet Vixen,I just have a clue for you..."he started
to whisper," Theres no such things as heros OR heroines,hehehehe."
He then grasped a long blade,and thrust it into the hand that held onto the branch. I yelped in pain,
Vixen just getting more aggitated of our helplessness. Blood flowed rapidly down my arm,and onto my
clothes,but I refused to let go.
*I am not going to let her die.* I commanded myself furiously.
"Your will is much stronger than I expected." Complimented Rinji plainly."But how strong is it?" he teased.
Then,so swift that my eyes could not see it,he cut the branch.
"Ahhh!!",I yelled out,still clinging to Vixen's paw. I thought fast,and embeded my bloody fingers into the
soft dirt holding the cliff together,stopping us in a slow pace. I yelled in pain,as my wound opened further
apart,and that pain did it. My hand slipped,sending us both downwards.
"Raikou!" Vixen shouted,pulling me down to her eye level in our fall.
"Raikou,take my necklace,whatever danger you come to in the water,or land,it will protect you!!"
"No!I want you to live,you'll die if you give it to me!!"
"Raikou,this is no time for selfless heroism!"
"I'm being selfish,I WANT you with me!" I cried
Then Vixen growled,pulling off the Fire-Fox Rose with her teeth,and just before we hit the water,throwing it
around my neck.....
___________
I awoke to Hiei's ginger shoving of my shoulder. I saw many faces surrounding me,but the only one I cared about
was his. I lept up in his arms,mine wrapping loosely round his neck. He seemed tense at first,then softened,and
tightened his grip around me.
"Its alright,your safe now,I will never let anything hurt you."
"Arigato,Hiei,Thank you so much...."
