Chapter 17: Blood that Binds Us
::The glow of the moon shines upon me
Brightening the traces of blood which tread from my eyes
Its soft silky grace caresses over my form
Giving me pain until my Heart dies
Telling me lies until I become insane
Letting the tears overflow from the years
Feeling each rip, tear, and infection
Of your malicious perfection
The glow of the moon shines upon me
Letting all who look upon me, see the mask break from my face
Watching it slowly crumble and crack under the stare
They gasp scream and cry
Telling me that I must die
The Shadow swallows me up in her arms
Binding herself with the torn presence I have become
The glow of the moon shines upon me
And only it knows of the monster I have become
Only it knows of my pain
My deadened heart filled with shame
Wondering if I could ever be the same
If I could go back and change
Would it be too strange
As the bittersweet love strikes my soul
Beating me into Oblivion::
(((made by me! )))
------------------------------
It couldn't have been true. It just wasn't true. This was a terrible, terrible nightmare from which she couldn't wake from. Her heart was breaking and she could feel each slow rip as well as the hot blood soaking her clothes. Funny, she couldn't remember actually feeling emotional blood leaking from her heart.
It was then that she noticed her wounds and her life slowly draining from her. Her mind had been focused on what he had said. The Wolf. Her former lover. Her new enemy.
Her mind threw up barriers to block this from being accepted as truth, leaving her heart vulnerable for attack. The words and void emotion stabbed without mercy at her being, her inner self crumbling quickly.
She fisted her hands tightly, feeling an untamable rage begin to stampede through her. A numbness entered her, destroying all love and happiness suceptable to intolerable amounts of pain. She tightened her jaw in last efforts to control the hatred burning through her veins. She felt the icy trail of tears tread slowly down her smooth cheeks, telling of her silent dying emotion. She could barely hear Saitoh's explanation, one which was filled with hatred and emptiness. She was zoned out, concentrating on the past, letting memories fill her mind. Letting confessions of love blind her
to the painful realization of her life. That she was never loved; only used. Used in order to get more power, more control.
Urako let loose a terrible scream, one that howled desperately through the forest and nearby towns and villages. One in which she poured her heart, mind and soul into, combining all her betrayed emotions. She felt power begin to surge throughout her body as she continued to scream, making her feel like she had some sort of electrical charge tingling her. She then noticed white blinding flames of energy roll off her arms and other tense rippling muscles as she continued to feed her anger.
She looked around for Saitoh, the Wolf, the murderer of her heart, quickly finding him bracing himself against the wind she created. She smirked wickedly, her eyes flashing again before they narrowed into slits. She screamed again, but this time it sounded more like a feral growl. She was forced onto her hands and knees by some unknown power, whimpering like a wild animal. She felt another surge of power ripple through her body, tingling her every nerve.
-------------------
"Didja hear that, Kenshin?" Yahiko asked, pulling on Kenshin's gi as he watched the forest.
"Yes, Yahiko, indeed I did. I feel immense power coming from that forest, as if there were a battle happening," Kenshin responded, his eyes narrowing towards the powerful chi signature. He had felt it earlier, but had thought it only to be Urako practicing. But now, feeling the immense waves ripping through the air, he was extremely worried for her. Her chi signature seemed to explode after it had suffered a great deal of emotional disruption. He had to do something and quickly.
"I wonder what that was...," Yahiko thought outloud, keeping his gaze steady on the forest.
"That was Urako, I believe, Yahiko," Kenshin replied gently, folding the last of the laundry.
Yahiko gasped as he turned to face Kenshin, saying, "What?! What's happening to her?! We have to help her Kenshin!"
"I don't know what is going on, Yahiko, that I don't, but we must get to her and quickly. Hurry and find Sano," Kenshin ordered sternly, fixing his gi, quickly adding, "And tell Kaoru not to worry about us."
"Sure thing Kenshin!" Yahiko shouted as he ran towards the dojo.
Kenshin thinned out his lips and furrowed his brow as he looked back to where he felt the overpowering chi. 'Hang on, Urako. Just a few more moments.'
"Hey!" a voice shouted, "Hey Kenshin!"
Kenshin quickly turned to spot Sano running up to him, concern lining his face.
"Urako..?" Sano asked, his brow creasing in slight confusion.
Kenshin nodded curtly, running towards the forest; towards Urako's chi.
"This way Sano! Hurry!" Kenshin shouted behind him.
-----------------------
"Aoshi...I feel..," Misao said aloud, confusion wrapping around the unfinished statement.
"I feel it, too, Misao. It's Urako Himura, I can feel her terrible pain. Her heart cries out as it is slowly dying," Aoshi replied, looking back to Misao with tired eyes. Misao looked back to him, her eyes full of worry and dying hope. She walked towards him tentively, embracing him as if he were about to be blown away. Aoshi wrapped his arms around her, as if he were her protective shield from the world. He stroked her head delicately whispering words of affection and care.
"Make a promise to me, Aoshi," Misao whispered, tears trailing down her face. Her tiny arms hugged him fiercely, stroking his back.
"Of course, Misao," he replied as he kissed her head.
"Don't leave me," she gently said, a tear falling from her eye to the ground.
Aoshi leaned back from her and kneeled before her, turning her chin up with his forefinger. He searched her eyes, her sad tearful eyes, with his own. He knew in his heart that he'd do anything for this woman. He loved her so much, he felt it begin to build inside him.
"I'll never leave you, Misao," he said gently, stroking her face with his fingers.
Misao smiled and hugged him, kissing his cheek. Aoshi smiled, feeling the love he had for her overflow in his heart. He brought her face before his own and kissed her lips, slowly massaging them with his own. He felt her respond quickly, pushing against his mouth with urgency and love. They'd do anything for each other. And that was true love.
-----------------------
'Fangs?' Why did she feel her teeth grow and become pointy all of a sudden? She roared in pain, feeling her mouth and nose crack and move to be positioned differently on her face. She absently heard her clothes tear as she looked down to her arms. The white blinding light had engulfed her whole body, and she saw white hair emerge in thick tuffs. She felt her fingers curl and snap, turning into paws. She screamed in pain, extending her new claws. Urako rolled her neck, feeling her back arch up, feeling her ribs extend. She clawed at the ground with her black claws, feeling her knees tighten and break, allowing the muscles to be reshaped. A ripple of power ran down her spine, pulling at the muscles and bones. Urako snapped her head back and let another roar escape her throat as she felt her tail come into being.
She slouched slightly to the ground, propping herself up by her thick furry white arms. She sniffed the air. She smelled fear, the Wolf's fear. She growled slowly, letting it bubble in her throat as she looked at his face. His lips were slightly open, quivering with fear and intrigue. His eyes had widened with wonder and amazement as he continued to stare. Urako noticed his taut form, how his muscles had tightened through her transformation. She let her giant maw grin slightly, showing off her sharpened teeth. She still felt the pang of pins and needles on her arm and shoulder from when Saitoh attacked her. She glanced over to her wound and saw her whole right shoulder covered in blood.
"You cut me. You ripped up my heart and now you've sliced my body. I shall deliver the same fate to you," she growled fiercely, feeling the energy start coursing through her again. She lifted her hind legs up, feeling them a little weak, and started to walk towards her prey.
"You're-a white tiger! How amazing this power is!" he exclaimed passionately, overriding his fear with excitement. His stance changed abruptly, letting himself become loose once again. His sword came before his slanted eyes, his deceitful eyes, and stood ready.
Urako narrowed her own, intent on ripping out his throat and heart. She quickly analyzed his stance, the tempo of the song, and what she could maneuver in this type of body. She ground her fangs, her eyes flashing brightly with ferocious hatred and unbridled energy, as she ran straight towards him. She saw his blade head straight for her unprotected chest, though quickly brought up a defensive paw, deflecting the blow. Her claws broke the blade, and she landed on him her teeth bared and waiting to taste his flesh.
She could hear Saitoh's cry as she brought her deadly jaws down on his chest, intent on ripping out his heart first.
"URAKO!!!" a cry stopped her action, making her look in the direction of the voice.
Kenshin, Yahiko, and Sanosuke burst through the bushes, though stopped, their eyes wide with fear and wonder.
Urako wanted to tell them to go away but felt intense pain run through her body, branching from her chest. She looked down and saw a small wakazashi embedded to the hilt in her chest. Blood had already covered her wound as well as her prey. She felt her eyes roll up into her head as she collapsed on top of her enemy.
"Our..blood...binds...us," she choked out before letting her eyes close. White flame engulfed her body again, returning her to her now naked, bloody, and torn human form.
-------------------------------
A/N:::I know it was short--but i wanted you guys to read it--and be left on a mean cliffie!! ---WHAT YOU THINK?!?!?!?! Urako ...oh poor lil' one....she resembles me in a way--we both suffered emotional hells. Much love ya'll!--This isn't the end, just to let you know
hugs to all my loyal reviewers, I love ya'll! Don't hurt me!
