Chapter Seventeen
She slid through the dark forest air. Everything was silent. She stopped briefly and touched a near by tree. She smiled and began to walk slowly. Glancing around the deep dark she tried to find it.
I hold my breath as this life begins to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
Normally any human would be lost forever in Tamashii Forest, but not for Yoru. Not for someone who walked the forest so many times, when even the sun dare not bring itself to touch this forbidden ground. Then Yoru let out a delighted squeak. She had found her! Oh she thought that this was going to take forever! Yoru bent over and turned the limp body before her. So this is what she looks like? There's nothing special about her! Hard to believe that she holds vast spiritual powers, she looks no younger then sixteen or seventeen. Yoru brushed a strand of blacky red hair out of her gray eyes. Opening a small pouch in her black belt she lifted her fingers out of it and embedded in her slender fingers was a silvery gold mixture. She blew it over the body and waited patiently. Soon, slowly the body began to stir and it rose.
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I achieved
And I...
Yoru skipped around the body and grinned at it. Then Yoru stopped. Her gleeful smile became a scowl as she stared into its cold empty eyes.
"You were barely alive, I saved your life," Yoru stalked around it
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
"Then I must thank you, but I have unfinished business elsewhere," it limped away painfully each stepped reminded it of its last battle. Painful memories edged their way back into its mind. Yoru stared at this very bitchy half dead woman stalking away from her. Yoru huffed after her and blocked her way from continuing. The girl tired to go around her but Yoru only blocked her path again.
I'm longing to be lost in you (away from this place I have made)
Wont you take me away from me?
"Why do you stop me child?" the woman asked annoyed
"I am not a child! I am a sorceress, and the one who saved your sorry ass from the messengers of Hell!" Yoru folded her arms across her chest and glared at the woman.
"Then how old are you if you not a child?" the woman shot back and her hands disappeared up her sleeves.
"I have reached my thirteenth year!"
"You are still only a child. A better question-..."
"My name is Yoru not 'child'!"
"Don't interrupt me girl! Now get out of my way! Or I will be forced to kill you!" The woman frowned at Yoru, but Yoru proceeded not to move. "What part do you not understand?"
"Where are you going? You hardly look like you could do battle. What's your name anyway Shrine Maiden?" Yoru softened her look at the woman
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
"I need to settle a score with a few people. I feel find to do battle and my name is of no importance to you," the woman dropped her hands to her side and felt tears sting her eyes. They both will pay dearly for what they have put me through. Mainly her...Now if only this girl would get out of my way. The woman attempted to shove Yoru out of the way, but Yoru only moved to prevent her path once again.
"I can heal you, I already told you I'm a sorceress, I make you better, add power to you! If you want that?" The woman thought at Yoru's words and then smiled slyly. With that power and defeat them!
I can't go on like this...
I loathe all I've become
"Alright girl, give me the power you speak of!" the woman grabbed Yoru's shoulders and eventually let go. Yoru stared at her, gray eyes wide with shock.
"Okay then, stand back," Yoru dipped her hand into her pouch pocket and emerged it with black powder shoved into her hands.
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I've created
I'm longing to be lost in you
She blew it into the young woman's faced and she blinked. Yoru danced around her, her very short black dress creasing as she twisted her body.
(Away from this place I have made)
Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live
The woman suddenly felt alive, power surged through she and she gasped at its velocity. She felt well, well enough to do battle. Yoru watched as the Shrine Maiden glowed brightly for moments the dimmed and returned to her former self. The woman folded her hands in prayer and bowed before Yoru.
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
Yoru stared not knowing quite sure what was going on but she accepted it and watched silently as the woman walked away into Tamashii Forest.
I'm longing to be lost in you (away from this place I have made)
Good Luck Lady Kikyou...Destroy all in your path for peace My Lady. Yoru danced around the darkness.
Wont you take me away from me?
Her black red hair flowed behind her and to the side. She giggled and smiled. Today was going to be a wonderful day for bloodshed and death.
