Chapter 12:
"Amber!" A small White Tiger Demon yelled once. Ailias as a small cub, about as small as Lee, races to a different White Tiger Demon who is about the size as Ailias as an adult. The small girl is swept up into the other's arms.
"Ailias!" The other yelled joyfully.
I miss you.
As Ailias's memories come rushing back to her, the Rekai Tantei devise a plan to save her.
"Soooo…" Kuwabara tries to comprehend. Lee smacks him upside the head.
"We infiltrate their head quarters which is located on Mt. Death!"
Miss you so bad.
"Oh… right…"
"BAKA!"
"Alright… we'll do this tonight!" Kurama informs them.
Back to Ailias's Memories:
I don't forget you.
"Nee-san! It kicked!" Young Ailias squealed.
"Yeah." The white haired demon said.
Oh, it's so sad. I hope you can hear me, cause I remember it clearly.
To another memory:
"MA! MA! I think it's time!" Amber yelled.
"Time for what?" Ailias questioned her Nee-san.
"You're gonna be an Aunt, Imouto!"
"YAY! BABY!" Everything turns back as Ailias remembers voices… just voices.
The day you slipped away was the day I found it won't be the same.
"Her name is Teedi."
"Teedi."
"Auntie Ailias!"
"Watch me!"
"Yum! Pancakes!"
"Yes, pancakes."
I didn't get around to kiss you goodbye on the hand.
Ailias is now a teenager, making pancakes for her niece, Teedi. Her sister ran into the kitchen gasping for air.
"We… need… to go!" She yelled. Ailias grabbed Teedi and ran out the back door with Amber at tow. They are swarmed by demon hunters. Amber pushes Ailias and Teedi out of the way as she is pelted with many bullets.
I wish that I could see you again. I know that I can't. I hope you can hear me, cause I remember it clearly.
"AMBER!"
"MOMMY!"
The day you slipped away was the day I found it won't be the same.
Teedi runs in the middle of the gun fire.
"TEEDI! NO!"
I had my wake up. Won't you wake up? I keep asking why?
"AILIAS! RUN! RUN IMOU-… to…" Amber said in her last breath. Ailias ran with tears blocking her vision as she was shot down, one bullet hitting her leg. She stood back up and ran as fast as she could, not another bullet hitting her.
I can't take it. It wasn't fake. It happened, you passed by. The day you slipped away was the day I found it won't be that same.
The day you slipped away was the day I found it won't be the same.
I miss you.
Ailias opens her eyes to stare at her legs, tears flooding her eyes. Her right eye stings. A gash on her leg points to the scar left by the bullet that hit her. That day, her sister and niece were destroyed, along with her mother and father. She was the only one left, as is Aaron now. Ailias's hair falls over her right eye. She won't let Lee be killed.
At the base of MT. Death:
"Are we supposed to climb this?" Yusuke questions. Hiei and Lee begin to climb.
"We'd better start," Kurama suggests.
KJ and Niki signing off!
Had to be this way. Just had to be. I wanted a song chapter anyway… and, that song seemed perfect! Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne. Yes, that's how you spell her name. One of the only things I can spell. Anywho… SEE YA!
