Chapter Two
Forgotten memories restored
Like a knife sinking into her stomach Momiji looked at her granddaughter with sympathy.After all this time she was going to tell her the truth. How her mother passed away and what happened to alter her fate so many years ago. Preparation rolled down her beautifully lite face even with her age she still held the glow of the loveable sixteen year old Momiji. Inhaling a deep breath she began...
"Nakoami, my child you must realize that I wanted to protect you not harm you with my deceit. My love of you is all that kept me from telling you the truth." Tears rolled down her face, hanging her head low, she sighed. "Forty-three years ago on the day of Matsuri, I unleashed a powerful flow of negative energy that cause a mass mutation of something... The thing was, the remains of Morokumo. Whom at the time was Orochi, the leader of the Aragami. When the Matsuri ritual was completed the Aragami went into eternal sleep. However the mass storage of negative energy that was released took over the body of Morokumo. And thus a new stronger version of Orochi was born. A version of him that was untouched by the affects of the Kushinada. However being undeveloped as he was the creature to went into rest... Never to be seen again. I thought it was over but I was wrong..." She sighed deeper letting the words sink into Nakoami's fragile mind. Waiting to see if she should continue or if she would have questions to answer from Nakoami.
"Continue grandmother, what happened, how did this monster contact me and what did I do to it why is if after me?" She cried in frustration.
" I will my child I will. When I was twenty-seven a strange message was sent to me, by my sister. She told me that what we thought was over was just beginning again. Orochi was back in a form unmistakable as Morokumo. However his appearance was the same his power was greater then ever before. She told me to be careful that he would soon discover a way to escape out of his prison, and would return to hunt me down... I should of believed her but I didn't it took another 18 years and eleven months before the realizations set in... The day that you were born your mother went into premature labor...
"Your birth left a gateway into this world in which Morokumo escaped... Neither of us are sure how it happened but we know it did... Kaede followed after him with the matured version of Susano-oh and began to fight him off. However the duty of your mother was to be used as well. Three days after your birth she went to help Kaede and Susano-oh fight off this demon. She was killed in the fight and left this world. However with her sacrifice she left all her power to you." She watched as tormented shadows rolled over her granddaughters face. How she wished it was her that was to suffer this fact and not Nakoami. But her power, still there within her however most of it went into her daughter and now her granddaughter.
"My mo..ther died fighting off this monster, and all these years you have kept it from me why? Why would you do such a thing why... Wait does this mean that you have lied about everything? That all this time I wanted to save her because she died in birth yet she lived three more days... What else have you lied to me about?.."
" Kusanagi, as well he is not dead my child. He is alive and well. Not here with us as you can see but he is alive." She let out sobs..
"What do you mean it can't be possible, I saw him being buried, I saw his face, when he died... Why do you lie so much grandmother trying to make me feel like all my life is one big LIE!" Nakoami stood shaking in rage...
"Nakoami! Please you have to listen to me I did it all to protect you. Your grandfather thought it best to keep you out of this as well the whole experience you had was staged.. He didn't die the coffin in which is buried is empty. He did this to protect you, and me... When you were four the voice that called you out gave us the realization that he was to powerful for us. We had to fight him off we had no other choice. Do you understand... Please listen to me the thing that you killed when you were born was a part of him that kept him from transforming into Orochi... The one thing that can keep him from being able to kill you completely... Do you know the birthmark that you hold on your chest the one that is shaped like a nine..."
" That is his eighth mitiama! The one thing that he needs to destroy you. That is why he is after you. The passing in between these two worlds, the gateway created with your birth was the way he escaped. But some how your premature birth took away his chance to escape whole. The birth mark you carry is the only thing that saved you. In order for your birth and his passage into this world you had to live and to live you needed something from him. As he needed it form you!" She breathed deeply allowing her body to catch up with her mind. That was racing with images of all the things she had kept from her. The slaughter of her daughter, and the fake death of Kusanagi. She looked into the horror stricken face of her granddaughter. She watched as she shook her head in disbelieve.
"This can't be why, why, why. Would you tell me such lies, why should I believe a thing you say...Why?" ... she shouted at her grandmother something she has never done before.
"I am not, Nakoami, look inside your heart you know this is the truth. That all the things I have said to you before is not real. You know for a fact that your grandfather could not die by such a common human way. You know that your mother did not die at birth, and that Morokumo is calling to his lost soul. You can feel it, you sense his presence because he is a part of you... You know the truth and, now we must decide, I mean you must decide what to do." Momiji'sface wasswollen with tears that cascaded down. Her dim green eye's simmering with water, and her face was red with dread... Nakoami looked into her frail grandmother's face and realized that she was telling the truth...
"I... understand, this is why all these years I lay in bed and dream about monsters destroying the city this is why, I have seen such horrendous sights in my mind. Men, woman, and children being slaughter, this is what I have been seeing. Now I know why, because I am a part of this creature. I am his only means of survival as he was mine so many years ago... But if he is destroyed how will if affect me?" The question was innocent and in so many ways hurtful..
"I am afraid my child that we don't know. We can not figure out what will happen if he dies or if you do? That is why we have not told you in so long. We know that with your death, he will perish, but what if he dies first. That is why we have been protecting him and you for so long. We need to test you. To find out the absolutions to our questions." When she finished speaking powerful cries of pain washed out over her being. Nakoami knew these cries, for so long she thought that they were shed because of her grandfathers death. Now she knew the truth, all this pain and torture from her grandmother was because of her...
"Grandmother,"she spoke weakly.. "I know my path, I must fight. Even if my death is certain either way we will find a way to kill Morokumo, once and for all. The studies you were talking about to discover if the bond between us is, deadly or not. Who will be conducting them and when do we go?" She asked fired up, not matter what fate would throw at her she was reading if not for her sake, but for the sake of the people she has seen die...
Next Chapter Three. How will Nakoami deal with the new TAC. And who will protect her like Kusanagi did her grandmother... By the way I know it is corny so far but please be patient I am writing this as I go lol I promise it will get better. Read and Review :)
