Hello! It's me Neh. I'm sure some of you might be pissed that I changed this. I highly doubt you even know I've changed it.
But anyway, I hope you like it. I'll be changing some of the characters a lot and adding new ones. This is just the beginning and it'll get better. Every since I started writing battle scenes I've been thinking more clearly so the chapters will come up faster, even though school's already started.
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH, or anything I wrote that comes form Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials books. I do own Gem, Raven, Ryu, and Alethia. Though she is a daemon.
4-Soul
Chapter 2- The 4 souls
I'll kill that wretch, I muttered to myself, trying not to let my aura falter.
My master's sister, Gem, was training us. We had to keep our auras up to a specific level, or a shock of pain would shot through our entire body. And I really didn't wanna feel that. Knowing Gem she would make it extra painful.
I was wearing a sleeveless silver shirt with baggy black pants. And I was wearing a dark green bandanna, and black bandages around my arms and ankles. I also had finger-less red gloves. Around my neck was a crystal flower with no stem, which was hanging from a gold chain. The flower had four petals; two were blue and two pink. The chain went through the middle of the flower.
That necklace was always hidden under my shirt, and it was so special to me that I only took it off to clean it or fix it.
"Not if I kill her first."
I glanced to my right, and saw Raven, struggling not to let his temper out. He could come out in spirit from when ever I let him; the one think he hated about it was being transparent. At least he could get out of my mind.
He was kinda like me, but a bit different.
He wasn't wearing a bandanna or any bandages. On his forehead there was a vertical cut, which looked like a scar. On his cheeks and the backs of his hands were the same scars. Raven had the same spiky hair, but his starburst was dark purple and so were the edges of his hair. His eyes were light purple. He was wearing a dark green sleeveless shirt with black baggy pants. Around his neck was a silver chain. On the chain was an eye, with a dark purple, dark green pupil. The rest of the eye was black. On both wrists there was a golden bracelet with the same eye on it.
"Your not going to kill her, am I."
I glanced to my left, and saw Ryu, my incarnate, also trying not to let his energy falter.
He was known as the Devil Dragon about 500 years ago. He was the one who beat Yoshimatsu, the demon lord who tried to take over all the worlds and who tried to destroy the Elite Realm, the realm where the true ruler of each world stayed.
Ryu also was kinda like me, but at the same time a lot different.
He had waist-length black hair, strait just like Youko's. It was in a samurai style ponytail. A white streak ran through the middle of his hair. Ryu also had red eyes like I did, and a bandanna like I did, but his was white. A cross shape scar was on his right and left cheek. Black bandages were around his arms and ankles. He was wearing a black shirt with a black sleeveless trench coat over that, and black baggy pants. Hanging around his neck was a black chain, which had a gold crystal dragon hanging from it. The crystal dragon had red blazing eyes and was in a flying position.
I sighed, hanging my head down, while also making sure I kept my aura up.
I guess I was the only one who could control my temper.
"You 2 really shouldn't think of killing Mistress Gem."
That was my daemon.
Since I doubt you know what a daemon is, I'll tell you.
A daemon is a part of you in the form of an animal. Everyone has one, even if you can't see them. They are able to turn into any type of animal, until they reach 18. That's when they pick one form to stay in for the rest of their lives. It also has the power to talk, and both of your minds are connected so you know what the other is thinking. And one more thing, your daemon will most likely be the opposite gender of you.
My daemon's name was Alethia. It means truth, but that wasn't the reason I named her that.
My grandmother, Lyra Silvertongue, was the first one to ever to be able to read the Alethiometer without the help of the books. I never knew my mother, and when I was abandoned my grandmother and grandfather took me in. My grandfather name was Will, and he controlled the Subtle Knife.
Back to my daemon. At the moment she was a snow leopard. Don't know why she likes that one so much.
"You 2 really need how to control your tempers." Alethia said nodding her head.
"Whatever, Alethia. I remember a few occasions that you gave away Moki's position." Raven said nodding toward me.
I growled out. "How many times have I told you not to call me Moki."
Stupid nickname, I thought.
"But Sai gave it to you. Does that mean you don't like Sai anymore." Ryu taunted.
I tried with all my might not to blush. In the end I just turned my head and muttered, "I never liked Sai. Anyway, she's dead." My eyes narrowed as I thought back to that day, when I lost Sai and I got Raven and Ryu.
I saw outta the corner of my eye Raven and Ryu looking down, with solemn looks on their faces.
Wow, that's something you don't see everyday, I though holding back a smile.
Alethia turned into a wolf and put her paw on my knee, as she looked up at my face.
I couldn't help but smile at that.
"But, she'll be reincarnated. So it's not that bad." I said smiling at Raven and Ryu. They were okay, when they weren't being annoying.
"Good, we couldn't have our master getting all teary-eyed on us." Ryu said with a smirk.
"Hey! I've never cried before, I may be the most child-like, but Id never cry." I shouted, glaring daggers at them.
"Whatever." Raven said then muttered, "Crybaby."
I looked between Raven's low head, which most likely had a smirk to Ryu's grinning face.
"Ah, shut up! You know for a fact that I've never cried in my life, since you have all my memories. And besides, isn't Vinodbhai supposed to be the crybaby." I said with a grin.
"Hmm. You're right." Raven thought out-loud.
"Ya he's like-"Ryu said, if Mistress Gem hadn't come in and cut him off.
"Well the 12 hours are up." She said.
Gem, who was really 45, looked good for her age. She had waist-length brown hair, which was in a braid, and long bangs on both sides of her head. Her pink eyes were very penetrating; they looked to be staring right into your soul. She was about 5'3 and was wearing a plain navy blue shirt with baggy black pants.
We all have this weird obsession with baggy black pants. We think other color pants won't look good, well unless they're jeans. I guess we're just weird that way.
"Finally." All of us sighed, and our aura faded away.
Oh, I forgot to tell you what color aura's we had.
Ryu had a navy blue-almost black and white aura.
Raven had a dark purple aura.
And I had a red and silver aura. It's kinda surprising I don't have a black one like Ryu. Oh, well.
"Well, I have to go into town for some things, I trust you 4 will be okay while I'm gone." Gem said glaring at us.
I couldn't help but grin as the other 2 were doing. Even Alethia looked as if she was grinning.
"We'll be fine." Alethia said, still in her wolf form. In her wolf form she had black and silver sleek fur.
"You better be." Gem said glaring at Raven and Ryu the most.
I couldn't help but snicker.
"That's goes for you too." She said switching her eyes to me.
"Oh." I groaned looking down.
"I'll be going now." Gem said as she left the room.
"So...what are we gonna do?" Alethia asked.
"Wanna play video games." Ryu asked.
"Fine with me." Raven said as Alethia and I just shrugged.
To be continuedI hope you liked it. I know I just left it off right there, but next chapter it'll be better, I promise. Now to write to the reviewers.
Sapphire Angel: Thank you for being my first reviewer on this story. I know the prologue was short, but I made it as long as I could. I like the Philip Pullman book's a lot too, you might see a lot more people from there.
Read this: No one reviewed whom they wanted Hiei to be paired with. If I don't get an answer for this chapter, it'll automatically be Hiei and Boton. SO PLEASE PICK!
