I've decided til the end of this fanfiction I won't be posting the disclaimer. It's on almost all of them and it's annoying, right? Anyways I apologize once again for the very LOOOONG delay.

This chapter will have a flashback to Ivil's childhood. ENJOY! ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you want from us Rolan?" Haias eyes were blazing with eternal hatred for Rolan, seeing her mother and dad suffering........but what was his objective? Why was he persisting to kill Ivil off? Is there something else connecting this very large puzzle?

"From you Haia? Nothing." Rolan paused as he looked towards Ivil with caring eyes that turned immediately cold and with a burning desire for revenge. "But from your mother..........death will suit me just fine."

Both Ivil and Hiei's eyes widen then quickly narrow. Hiei started hacking up splotches of blood and he could see speckles of the powder in it; that wasn't good. Rolan seemed pleased that the powder was taking effect. Hiei tried to hide it from the kids so they wouldn't worry but it kept coming as he tried to stifle the continuous hacking.

"Why do you..." Ivil started to say as she too started to hack up blood containing the lethal powder. ".....*hack*.......want my.....*hack*...death so badly? I don't......*hack, painful cough*....remember doing any--*hack*--thing to make you loathe me li--*hack*--ke this."

"You don't remember Ivil?"

"*hack* REMEMBER WHAT?! *hack hack*"

"Think back a couple years before the 1000 year mark of the Anakari clan."

Ivil flashed back as Rolan reminded her of her forgotten past.

"You had just turned 16 and were eager to travel and your senses were at their peak. Including your telepathy. But there was a problem with your telepathy; it wasn't completely harnessed and that presented a problem to me. Because I belonged to the Manihari clan secretly, I felt you listening in on my conversations unintentionally when I was miles away from the camp but only bits and pieces. I figured you would tell the leader as soon as you heard this.....but you never did. I heard you saying one time in your sleep that you thought you were crazy and that 'Rolan couldn't do that."

"It was a year later, just days after you turned 17, and you got full control of your telepathy powers. You could listen on to the full conversations I was having now but you were still doubting yourself and were hesitant to make that accusation that I was a traitor."

"It was a week after your birthday and a few days before the big celebration. I couldn't let you tell the leader before the celebration because I wouldn't be able to get everybody in one place without arousing suspicion. So I kept you busy with preparations for the celebration and to keep the leader as far away from you as possible. Later on that night when everybody was eating and celebrating, you saw me slip out and went to find the leader. But you couldn't find her in time; I issued the ambush and slipped back before you suspected anything else."

And that's when Ivil remembered when Rolan got shot be three arrows to the heart by Manihari bowsmen. But little did she know it was all an act.

"You remember seeing me get shot three times to the heart by arrows. But it was all a setup. I had a protective vest on so it only looked like I was dying and in pain. Oh, you looked so pitiful...."

"SHUT UP YOU *hack* FUCKING BASTARD!!! *hack hack hack*" Ivil was furious at what she just heard.

"Why did you do all this?!" Hiei hacked more blood, darker than before and he leaned his head against Ivil's right shoulder, feeling lightheaded because of so much blood he lost..

"Why? It's simple really. So that a prophet's prophecy wouldn't come true."
