Sorry it took me so long to update guys. I've been really busy. So without further a due here's chapter 13.
Cry of a flower maiden
Chapter 13: Haru's memories, scent of a trap
Haru opened her eyes slightly only to see that she was inside an oval shaped tank full of water. "Where…where am I"? Haru questioned. She glanced over to the side seeing that cheza was next to her also hooked up to the tank. "Cheza"! Haru said. "Haru it is about to begin". Cheza said. (A/N: They can talk to each other through their thoughts.) "What is about to begin"? Haru questioned. "This one will wither". Cheza replied. "And so will you". Haru's eyes widened in fear. "Haru try to remember what are purpose truly was". Cheza said.
Haru let out an eerie screech as she began to feel pain in her head. It was like a thousand images kept appearing in her mind. "My memories…I remember". Haru said.
(Haru's memories)
(Some of Haru's memories are true from the show and some came from my head ok. )
"So these are the two perfect creations"? Darcia questioned, as he looked up at cheza and Haru, who were inside an oval tank. "Yes, Haru and cheza will lead me to the place I have been searching for". Darcia's grand father replied. "They will open paradise". "Haru and cheza were created from lunar flowers"? Darcia questioned. (A/N: Darcia is a little younger here.) "Yes, however, I wanted to experiment with Haru a little". "So I injected wolf DNA inside of her". Darcia's grand father replied. "She has a special ability because of that".
(A few months later)
"I see so my grandfather has disappeared into paradise". Darcia said. "So the paradise amplifier was a failure". "So it would seem". One of his servants said. Just then there was a huge explosion. Darcia looked out the window only to see Orkham's ships. "So he has come to steal the flowers from me". Darcia said.
Darcia turned to the monitors that monitored cheza and Haru, only to see that cheza was gone from her tank. Darcia frowned in anger and ran out the room. As he reached the room Haru was being held in he opened the door only to find that she was still inside. Haru stared at Darcia from the tank confused at what was happening. "You are un aware of what is happening aren't you"? Darcia questioned. "Cheza has been taken; you on the other hand must not be captured to". Darcia said. "You can sense that I am in this room but your eyes do not see me".
Darcia pushed a button on the tank that caused the water to drain. Haru coughed as the water came from out her throat. Darcia unhooked her from the tank and carried her out the room and ran out the keep. Darcia ran to some bushes and opened a small hatch and put Haru inside. "I can not let Orkham take you both". Darcia said. "I am going to erase your memories". "You won't remember any of the events that have happened". "You won't remember me, cheza, or even what you are". Darcia said. "Every memory you posses will be lost".
And with that Darcia revealed his wolf's eye and erase her memory, putting her unconscious. Darcia closed the wall opening and glanced up at the sky seeing Orkham's ship; he smirked and simply walked off.
(1 year later)
Haru opened her eyes slightly as she finally awoke from her long sleep. "What…is this place"? Haru questioned. "how…how did I get here"? Haru stood up noticed the little hatch on the wall and pulled it seeing it led to the outside. She gasped as she saw the ruins of the keep that she and cheza had once been kept in. a single tear feel down the side of her cheek. "Why…why can't I remember"? She questioned.
(end of flashback)
"I was alone". She said. "I walked for such a long time". "I couldn't remember what I was or what my purpose was". Haru said. "It was him…it was Tsume's blood that had caused me to awaken". (A/N: remember guys flower maidens react to wolf's blood.) "I know now what I was meant to do". "I…want to go to paradise with you tsume".
(Cher, Blue)
As Blue and Cher walked passed the ID sensor and up to the elevator, Blue became very tense when she heard the sensor go off. Luckily it was just a man with a fake ID. As Blue and Cher stood on the escalator, Cher sighed in relief. "Good it looks like ours are the real thing". Cher said. "The city looks a lot different up here then it does below". Blue said. "Yeah it's so clean and organized". Cher replied. "It's likely to become more dangerous the further we go in".
"Yeah but it doesn't matter". Blue replied. Cheza and Haru are in there.
(Jagara)
Jagara stood in a strange room lit up in red with servants covered in masks. (I guess they were doing some weird ritual.) "It's almost time". Jagara said. "Now I possess both flower maidens". "Nothing can stand in my way".
(Tsume, Kiba)
Tsume and kiba were now inside the keep looking for Cheza. (They don't know Haru's been captured.) "We've been to all kinds of places before but…" Tsume said pausing. "But what"? Kiba questioned. "I've never felt such a sense of danger as I do here". Tsume replied. "Every hair on my bodies on end". "This stupid place is freaking me out". Tsume said. "Well that's something new". Kiba said. "What"? Tsume questioned. "I've never heard you complain so much". Kiba replied. "It's a normal reaction". Tsume said. "Under any circumstances". "Well why don't you just go back then". Kiba said. "Yeah right and leave all the fun to you". Tsume replied. Tsume sighed as walked through the hall. (Haru I hope you're all right.)
(Toboe)
As Toboe ran through out the city, he realized he wasn't getting very far. "Oh man I'm going in circles". Toboe said. "There's no scent at all in this place". Sigh "I wonder if Hige and Haru went to meet up with the others all ready"? Toboe questioned as he continued to run, trying to find his way around the city.
(Hige)
Hige stumbled almost falling as he walked through the small alley. He groaned in pain as an eerie screech rang through his ears. "Dammit, what the hell is going on here"? Hige questioned. He gasped as he saw a camera attached to the side of a building. His eyes widened in fear and he began to run.
(Cher, blue)
"I thought we could find Jagara's keep if we headed for the center of the city, but all these streets are so crowded". Cher said. "Besides the fact that everything looks the same". "It's like someone's trying to get us lost". "There's about this place that doesn't make it seem human at all". Blue said.
Cher glanced over and saw an old woman and walked over to her to ask for help. "Miss could you help us"? Cher asked. "Why certainly". The old lady replied. "I'm wondering if this is a bus that can take us to the keep". Cher said. "No dear". She replied. "Do you know where then"? Cher asked. "I think you're confused there's no keep in this city" the lady said walking on the bus.
Cher glanced over to Blue who only shrugged her shoulders. No matter how many people they talked to it was always the same thing. "What the deal with all the people here"? "It's like they've been brain washed. Blue said. "Pretty close". Said a cat, standing on to of one of the ledges on a building. "The people in this city are all zombies". "What do you mean by that"? Blue questioned. "They just live there live their". The cat said. "They don't question, they don't think, and they don't feel". "Any way what do what do you wanna know"? The cat questioned. "A lot of things". "What's the truth behind this city". Blue questioned. "Come with me". The cat said running off with Blue right behind him.
"Hey Blue what's the matter"? Cher asked. "It looks like we may finally get some answers". Blue said following the cat. "Wait for me"! Cher shouted trying to catch up. They ran until they reached a book store
"I see they might have a map of the city here". Cher said as they entered the bookstore. They glanced over seeing an old man at the counter. "Excuse me; we were hoping you might have a map of the city here". Cher said. "A map"? "So you must be outsiders". The old man said. Cher and Blue became tense at this. "Don't be alarmed I was once an outsider to". He said. "I don't get many requests for maps these days". "Because there not interested in anything that doesn't have to do with anything with their lives". He said as he pulled out an old dusty map.
"O.k. we're in this area and here is where you'll find Jagara's keep". The old man said showing Cher how to find it. Cher noticed a weird looking place on the map. "What this"? Cher questioned pointed to it. "They say that's where the crucible lies". The old man replied. "Crucible"? Cher questioned. "Yes it's the moonlight crucible". He replied. "What is it I never heard of such a thing like that"? Cher questioned. "I don't know no one ever talks about it". The old man replied.
"How can everyone be so ignorant about what's happing on their own city". Cher questioned. "Doesn't anyone bother to think about what's happening around them"? "Why should we care about the things happening around us"? The old man asked. "Do you honestly believe that this life will go on forever"? Cher questioned. "If you've been outside that should be reason enough". "Didn't you see what's happening to those people"?
"Trust me once you've been living here for awhile you'll start seeing things differently". The old man replied. "Arrgh fine I'll just buy this". Cher said taking out money to buy the map. "Fine but your wasting your money, I doubt you'll need it". He said. And with that Cher and Blue left the building.
(Toboe)
"Even from way up here I don't see them anywhere". Toboe said. As he walked on the rail of the building he glanced down seeing Quent standing on the side walked looking up at him. "The old guy made it I'm so glad". Toboe said. Then Quent aimed his gun at Toboe, Toboe sighed and ran off. "Hey hold it"! Quent shouted running up the stairs chasing after him. When he reached the top Toboe was gone
(Hige)
As Hige ran in the alley he looked up and saw a camera and continued to run. No matter where he went or how far he ran there was a camera. Hige ran through the street and glanced over seeing a camera and screamed in frustration. (It's like some horror movie lol.)
(Tsume and Kiba)
Tsume stopped walking and sniffed the air; the scent was so familiar to him. It smelt like Haru. "That scent". Tsume said. Kiba glanced over to see the he and tsume had been blocked off from each other by a huge wall. "Tsume"! Shouted kiba as he banged on the wall. "Kiba can you here me"?! Tsume shouted from the other side. Tch "Well at least we're going for the same direction, one things for sure, I smell flowers".
(Cher, Blue)
Cher and Blue were now sitting on a bench in the park were Jagara's statue was. "I'm starting to think this map really was a waste of money". Cher said. "The road's leading to the keep aren't marked at all on this map". Maybe the only ones who can go in and out of the keep are the nobles". She said. Blue sighed as she looked down at the ground. "You don't think their hurting Cheza and Haru do you"? Blue questioned.
"I know you're worried about them". Cher replied. "You wolves have such a strong affection for Cheza and Haru". "Why do you think that is"? "It's because of paradise, their going to guide us there". Blue replied. At least that's what Hige and the others say. "Wolves will open the way to paradise so the story was true". Cher said. "Whenever I'm around Cheza or Haru I feel like a really am a wolf". Blue said. "Back when I was living in Curious it never crossed my mind that I was a wolf". "Curious". Cher questioned. "It was this nice town that me and pops lived in". She replied. "Do you wanna go back"? Cher questioned. "No I can't it was destroyed in a fire a long time ago".
"I…guess I don't have any place to go back to either". Cher said. "I'll go with you". "We'll both go to paradise". Cher said. But unknown to them, they were being watched by Jagara's soldiers from across the street.
(Later on)
Cher and Blue were now walking in an alley. Cher sighed as they reached a dead end. "What is wrong with this stupid city"? Cher questioned. "Excuse me miss, are you lost". Said one of Jagara's soldier's as he along with another soldier came from the side of the building. "No". Blue answered. "What town are you ladies from"? The second asked. "What do you mean". Cher questioned. "You don't have to hide it if you have the proper identification". A third soldier said walking up behind Cher and Blue. "And as long as you're not from freeze city". (I think that's what the city is called.) "Cher gasped at this. "We're from a town called Curious". Blue replied. "Did you say Curious"? One soldier questioned.
"It's strange that you would come from there". "As I recall that town was burnt down years ago". The second soldier said. "Yeah it was the first town we attacked after I joined up". He said. Blue frowned at this. "What do you mean"? She questioned. "We burned every inch of that village to the ground". He replied. Cher gasped at this. "But why would you do such a thing"? Cher questioned. "A pack of wolves was hiding there and it was are mission to kill them all". The third soldier said walking in front of blue. Blue became very pissed, upper cutting the guy in the face. The other soldier shot at Blue who dodged the bullet and punched him. The second soldier that was on the ground put his mask on and his radar showed that blue was a wolf. (We'll just call them the first, second, and third soldier for now. Lol)
"Hey she's a wolf"! He shouted. "What"! The second soldier said pointing his gun at Blue but Cher stopped him and struggled to stop him from shooting Blue while she kicked him to the ground. Blue looked at Cher who nodded and with that Blue ran off and the soldiers chased her. As blue ran the soldiers finally lost sight of her.
(Blue)
As Blue walked through the alley she sighed. "Wolves didn't do it after all pops". Blue said. As she walked passed the corner she noticed something and looked down seeing Hige. "Hige is that you"? Blue questioned. "Blue". Hige said opening his eye's trying to get up. "What happened did someone hurt you"? Blue questioned. "You actually got out of darcia's keep in one piece I'm glad". Hige said sitting up leaning up against the wall. "Where are the others"? Blue asked. "I don't know we got split up". Hige replied. "You know I always knew we would see each other again, but never in a place like this". Blue said. "The only thing I could asked for now would be pops". "Hige I could tell him so much". She said. "That it was the soldiers that burned and attacked are city". "The wolves didn't do it".
"Hey Blue, what do you say me and you get out of this place". Hige said. "Huh"? Blue questioned confused. "We can't stay in a city like this forever". Hige replied. "The others are still alive right"? "And what about Cheza and Haru"? Blue questioned. "I don't care"! "Come on"! Hige shouted grabbing Blue's arm and running off.
"Wait Hige what's the matter with you"!? Blue questioned as she was dragged by Hige. Hige stopped running and looked up seeing a camera. "Arrgh their watching me"! He said holding the side of his head. "Their watching me again I know it". "They've always been". He said. "Hige you're scaring me". Blue said. "Hige!" she shouted as he continued to run. "We have to get out of here"! He shouted.
(Jagara)
Jagara poured some weird powder into a big cauldron shaped pot causing smoke to come out. She laughed and began to spin around dancing and continued to laugh evilly. She was leading the wolves into a trap.
(Toboe)
As Toboe walked through the alley he glanced over seeing the elevator him, Hige, and Haru came in to get to the top of the city. "That's it I know where I am". Toboe said running up to it.
(Hige and Blue)
"We have to get out of here"! Hige shouted. "But to where" blue questioned. "It doesn't matter where". Hige replied. "Would you wait a minute"! Blue shouted pulling his grasp. "We can't just run away what about Cheza, Haru, and the others"? She questioned. "Are you really going to abandon them"?
"It's too late for them"! Hige shouted. "It's all over and all of it's my fault". Just then they heard a laser shot from a familiar shield. They looked down only to see that the soldiers caught Toboe. "Toboe no"! Hige shouted. Before the soldiers could see them they ran off.
(Haru and Cheza)
Haru struggled to get out the water tank. "Their going to lead tsume into a trap I have stop them"! She shouted struggling to get out of the tank. "If I try to turn into my wolf form I'll drowned in this tank so its use less to try". Haru said. "Damn it'! Haru glanced over to see that cheza was still unconscious.
(Kiba)
"The scents getting stronger". Kiba said as he walked through the hall, he reached a door and opened it revealing at least thirty of Jagara's soldiers. As kiba ran one of them tried to shoot him with a wave from his shield but kiba dodged it, and changed to his wolf form and tackled the soldiers tried to kiba with their swords but missed every time. Kiba wouldn't give up; he would risk everything to get to cheza.
(Tsume)
"I'm close the scents getting stronger". Tsume said. Tsume stopped in front of a large door. He opened it revealing a large hall. As tsume walked through the hall he gasped at what he saw. Behind glass displays were wolves that looked exactly like Hige and had the same collar. They were stuffed and mounted like trophies. As he looked an in horror a huge cage came down from the ceiling trapping him.
(Kiba)
Kiba continued to fight but there were too many soldiers for him to handle. As they shot out a magnetic wave from their shield. Kiba collapsed to the floor, as one of the soldiers tried to strike kiba with his sword kiba jumped up and bit him in his neck, blood spilling out killing him. As all the soldiers shot lasers at kiba, kiba attacked them all at once.
When the smoke cleared you could see kiba, who was badly wound walking up the stairs, behind him were the dead soldiers on the ground. "Cheza". Kiba thought.
(Jagara)
"Come to me wolf that was chosen by the flowers. Jagara said smirking. Haru opened her eyes seeing Jagara through the glass. "Who are you"? Haru questioned. "My, such beauty beyond comparison it's no wonder that grey wolf is so attracted to you". Jagara said. Haru frowned at this. "What is that you're trying to do"? Haru questioned. "Why kidnap me and Cheza"? "I am going to open a paradise made for me". Jagara said. "Your wolf has been captured along with the other soon they will a die". Haru's eye's widened at this.
"No…Tsume". She said tears falling from her cheek. "It can't end like this…we'll find away out of this".
Sorry for taking so long guys I had writers block and I totally forgot what happened in this part of the series and making Haru apart of the part in the series was tough. Plus the fact that I needed a vacation from all this writing. Lol.
