" Time is Running Out "
Tyson chocked. His deep, ocean blue eyes were wide open. His mouth popped into an O shape. He stared at his grandfather with confused glances. ' What is he playing at?' he thought.
" Your mother, Tyson, is not really dead. She is alive, but she is set off to kill you for good."
His eyes were full of sorrow and pain. His cheeks were rosy and cherry. His voice deep, like a low rumbling. A hollowness filled his heart; an aching filled his soul. His mind was constantly plagued with the thoughts of his daughter in law. His best friend's daughter.
" He He He, that's not really funny, gramps." Tyson stuttered.
Kenji Granger looked at his grandson. Sharp, fading blue orbs caught those of vibrant, fresh ones.
" I am not joking, Tyson," he simply stated.
" Bull shit." Tyson muttered. He could not look at his own grandfather.
Narrowed eyes, Kenji's voice and expression grew angry. He expected this, but he didn't like the way his heir was behaving. " Watch you language."
" Why? So you can make up some more shit about mom?" Tyson said coolly. He grew angrier by the minute. His rage and confusion collided. " I don't think so."
Kenji was being pushed past his limit. He didn't expect Tyson to react this way, only to be silent.
" For your information, young man, your mother is alive and looking for you. But, I will never let her get her hands on you for as long as I live."
Tyson was shocked. His blue tresses covered his eyes, hiding what he was feeling. He was all quiet and sitting until he stood up and turned his back against his grandsire. He raised his head up as high as he could; anger surging through him.
" Why would you do that if my mother were still ALIVE? Well then, maybe you should die." The words were whispered quietly, but Kenji had perceptive ears. He felt tears catching at his eyes, but he too stood up. Slamming a fist down, Kenji startled the audience around them.
" TYSON LISTEN HERE. YOUR MOTHER WAS THE REASON WE NEVER TALK ABOUT HER! SHE SEALED HER OWN FATE! LISTEN DAMN YOU!"
Kenji's voice shook with powerful rage and anger.
Tyson swung around and faced his grandpa, his facial expression red with fury.
" SEAL HER OWN FATE!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? OLD MAN, YOU ARE OFF YOUR ROCKER! SO... SHUT UP!"
Both Granger men took long, sagging breaths.
They eyes each other with great anger and little patience. They were both alike in so many ways.
All at once they started screaming at each other. They bickered and fought, making their surrounding company very uncomfortable. Even Kai looked shifty.
" NO! DON'T SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY! YOUR MOTHER IS NOT DEAD SHE FUCKING BETR-"
" WHAT DO YOU MEAN? MOM IS D-E-A-D! THE POLICE NEVER FOUND HER BODY! WHY T-"
" - AYED HER FAMILY! KILLED HER OWN BEST FRIEND! SHE GOT UP AND FUCKING LEFT"
" - HE HELL CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND? HOLY SHIT OLD MAN! SHE IS DEAD! SHE'S FUCKI-"
Kenny blocked the voices from entering his ears. How can he help? Kenji and Tyson never acted like that to each other, or anyone else for that matter. He did not like the way things were behaving. " Kenny, how do we stop them?" Emily whispered. She was growing in a state of distress.
" Emily, just sit tight for now. There is nothing we can do." He said. Kenny hung is head, trying to block the distant memories of him and his father fighting before, ... his death.
" YOU AND YOUR FATHER! SHE WAS A POWERFUL MIKO AND YET SHE SUCCUMBED TO"
" - NG DEAD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD MAKE A BUNCH OF CRAP UP ABOUT YOUR"
" A DEMON! IT POSSESSED HER! AND NOW WE HAVE A PRICE TO PAY! YUMI LEFT HER"
" OWN DAUGHTER! IF SHE WERE ALIVE, WHY'D SHE WANT TO KILL ME THAN?"
" OWN FAMILY! SHE DECEIVED HER OWN MORTALITY! HER DESTINY! HER LEGACY!"
In an end, both stopped. They stared long and hard at each other in a fastidious fashion. The silence in the small room remained quiet. Tyson had stopped yelling at the last part long enough to here his grandsire's last comment.
Salima pitied him. She stared at him with care, and sympathy. After all these years, she still couldn't get him off her mind. ' What happened Tyson? Speak to me.' she silently pleaded. Tyson slowly turned to her, as if hearing her thoughts. She blushed. But kept her gaze at him.
" Her... Legacy?" Mariah asked carefully. She did not want to be the cause of another fight between this family.
" Her Destiny?" Marium echoed. They wore confused expressions as they pondered about the two strange words.
" Yumi Kinomyia Granger was a priestess. She was the next in line to protect the next lineage of warriors to defeat a great evil. She didn't realize though, that she was protecting them from herself."
Heads whipped around to face Kai.
His eyes were blank, staring of at a distance. His silverish-blue aura outlined his framed body. He was completely still, save for his face. It was pain-stricken. Veins popped at the side of his head. Kai's teeth were chattering. His mind was seeing something from the past. Something revealing. His face paled, draining all color from his eyes.
And just as suddenly as he was held, just as silently he breathed. Color rushed to his face, all rosy and red like. His eyes to their abnormal color. Weary lines of pain still showed across his face, but he ignored it.
" Oh my, what's happening? Kai? Are you okay?" Salima asked. Her voice shook in amazement. 'What has happened to us?' She thought.
" It has begun." Hilary said softly. She shook her head and mentally locked thoughts with a certain Red headed Russian in Moscow.
TALA!!!'
' OW! Hilary is that you? What do you want? It's nearly dinnertime.'
' Get rid of your friends. Kai has just remembered something. We're running out of time.'
' Shit. I thought it wouldn't be until he saw Boris again. Why has she given him his memory now?'
' I don't know. Yumi must have something planned for us. Quick, call Robert and Ozuma.'
' Why? Let's call up Michael and Enrique too. They need to help train them.'
' Fine. We're going to need all the help we can get. I'll meet you at the safe shrine.'
' Okay, fill Kai in on everything. He'll get mad later if he knows that I was close with you before him.'
' Hai. Just get theirs asses down there. You too.'
Hilary slapped her forehead.
" Damn, forgot to tell him to about Tyson." Hilary murmured. Her eyes wandered around the room. It seems like everyone went outside. Only Kai was in the room, insisting that he need to lie down.
A pair of hands lifted Hilary to her feet, surprising her. She quickly delivered a swift kick, knocking whoever the attacker was, on his feet. Poking the guy, Hilary used two fingers to paralyze the poor person. She applied pressure to his stomach, legs, neck, and shoulders.
" Ha, and you call yourself ...... Kai!?"
Hilary was shocked to see KAI, who was lying on the wooden floor, paralyzed. His eyes and mouth could still move. " Hilary. Undo. This. Right. Now." He mumbled. His eyes were raging in anger, but a glint showed surprise.
" Gomen." She muttered. Hilary swiftly unblocked the clogs in Kai's pressure points.
" Where did you learn that?" Kai asked slowly. He was relaxing his stiff muscles, and cracking his knuckles.
" Er.... That's not important right now. Where are the others?" Hilary asked.
Kai sighed and shook his head.
' Apparently the dumbass and his weird grandfather are arguing outside... again.'
Hilary blinked. It wasn't normal to read minds like that. Unless, Kai wanted her to.
" Apparently the dumbass and his weird grandfather are arguing outside... again." Kai said. He knew nothing of Hilary's personal powers that he could read minds too.
" Yeah.... well. C'mon, lets go join them. We have somewhere to go," Hilary said. Grabbing his hand, Hilary ignored the tingly feeling she felt. Her cheeks burned as she dragged him outside.
OUTSIDE
" Leave."
That one word hung in the air, sinking into everyone's ears.
" Kenji, the contacts are heading over to the safe shrine as we speak. There is no time. We must hurry.," Hilary said urgently. She was standing in front of the old man. Everyone was surrounding them.
" What has she got planned for you? There has to be more time left. They don't know the whole truth. They need to have more time to train. Why didn't you tell them about her. And the legends of Destiny and Legacy?" Kenji asked quietly. He searched Hilary's face for an answer, but nothing showed. She learned from Kai to well on how to wear an expressionless mask.
" I..... was distracted. My mind..... wandered off," Hilary answered. She avoided the troublesome gaze that was upon her.
" So.... It is he. He's on your mind. What about Hiruugyu? Isn't she important to?"
For sometime silence filled the area.
" I'll use teleportation, ne?" Hilary said stiffly.
Without any sound she grabbed Kai's hand - again - and dragged him into the circle their company was in.
" Hold on to each other." Hilary ordered. And as you know, everyone paired up and was touching some part of Hilary.
HILARY POV
Oh god. Why can't this end. We've already had this battle before. Why has she awoken from her dark abyss?
I felt a familiar tug at my waist. Like a pair of hands, pulling me back. Dizziness filled my head as my body floated.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kenji. He was greatly troubled. Nii-chan will have to comfort him.
" Let's go." I whispered.
Whoosh.
In a blink of an eye, coldness numbed my body. Great, we're here.
" Everyone here!?" I called out.
A few mumbles and mutters could be heard, so I accepted that as a yes.
" Okay, pair up to warm yourselves!" I ordered. God, I love being mischievous.
" What's with Kai?" Emily asked me.
I glanced around and saw Kai pacing about, muttering incoherently and throwing a string of colorful words.
" I'm coldddddddd." Tyson wailed. Salima did the unthinkable and wrapped her arms around him.
" There you go," Max said cheerfully. Tyson blushed and wrapped his arms around Salima.
" Now if you don't mind, Hilary, why the fuck are we here?" Kai asked crisply.
Oh. Oh. Not a good sign. Damnit.
" A contact is supposed to meet us here." I said nervously.
Damnit Hialry! You're letting him get to your head! How in all hell, did you let him past your barriers?
" Answer me Hilary!" He growled. His eyes were an unmentionable shade of blue.
He gripped my arm, bruising it I suppose.
" We are waiting here for Tala. Let go." I said through gritted teeth.
" Oy! Hilary! I came as fast as I can!" Tala said.
Why couldn't I sense him? I turned to find Tala standing behind me, easily towering over.
Tala Volknov's red hair swayed in the wind. His piercing, blue eyes captivated me. A dark, black cloak encircled his lean, well-built body. I noticed a parcel in his hands.
" What's that?" I asked.
" Cloaks. Hand made by Iris." he said.
Iris. Iris Raff? Odd, that name ringed a bell.
" Iris Raff, our old nanny and the head village woman?" Tala smirked. He had read my thoughts.
Shit. This is like the second time that someone has gotten to me. What is wrong with me?
THIRD PERSON POV
" Tala."
Kai had stepped out from behind Hilary.
Tala's smirk had faded, but a genuine smile appeared.
" Kai!" Tala exclaimed.
" In case you haven't noticed, we are freezing OUR ASSES over here!" Mariah scorned. She grabbed the parcel from Tala. Ripping through the rope, she produced a beautiful pink cloak with a ruby fastener. Mariah swiftly threw it over her cold shoulders.
" There is some for everyone!" Hilary said.
Hilary drew out a perfect silver cloak with a glinting diamond fastener. Throwing it over her body, Hilary felt a gush of warmness coat her.
" Michael? What are you doing here?" Emily asked. She glanced at him quizzically.
" Nothing. Tala and Hilary invited me to their beautiful home." Michael shrugged.
" THEIR beautiful home?" Kai growled.
It had taken a lot of persuading from Hilary to convince Kai to actually come.
" What's his deal?" Marium had asked her earlier.
" He's back home." Hilary had answered her.
The Bladebreakers and company had been surprised to be ushered into a sophisticated home. Ancient rugs and colorful decor filled the home with coziness.
" So uncouth of you to arrive late." Robert frowned.
" And so uncouth of you to be here." Tyson said airily.
Hilary touched everything in her path. She remembered the last time she was here.
" THEIR beautiful home?" Kai repeated. His eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.
" Yes, Kai. Their beautiful home," Enrique stated. He rolled his eyes.
" Yes, we know that. But why THEIR beautiful home?" Salima asked.
" Because Tala and Hilary used to live together." Ozuma popped in.
" LIVE TOGETHER!?" Screamed Kai. He nearly fainted.
" Yeah, seems they go way back. Maybe as far as you and him," Michael said.
Kai remained silent. Contemplating to himself silently, he walked to his room.
A beautiful, gorgeous, spacious room awaited him. He had shared it with the guys, but he kept top himself.
Lying on his bed, Kai shut his eyes and thought.
" What's their connection?"
" Guys, I suggest you go to bed. You've got to get up early tomorrow; we got some training to do." Hilary commanded.
A few mumbles were protesting, but her glare quickly shut them up.
" Hil' why didn't you tell Kai? He looked like he was going to murder me back there," Tala said.
He walked towards her and pulled Hilary into a tight embrace.
" I don't know. I just- I held feelings for him once, and I don't want to relive them." She murmured.
Tala smiled sadly. He could distinctly remember Hilary's complaints to him when they talked mentally from time to time.
Hope: How was that? I think that was pretty long...
Tala: Yeah. Yawns
Hope: Review!
