$#)Introductions$
The scream echoed through the cave as all the dragons including Suoh in his dragon and Kaida to turn around.
It was Tohru; she had come from Shigure's house to find Kaida with the others.
'My, my…what have we here? The girl that all Sohma's talk about. Toh-ru, isn't it?' Kaida asked, coolly without a hint of manners to introduce herself. She lifted herself away from her mother, Kana sat there, not knowing what was going on, and because she doesn't know who Tohru is yet, she can't exactly draw up the conclusion as to why her daughter is so angry at the girl.
'Kaida…' Tohru began, reaching a trembling hand toward her.
'Stop!' Kaida ordered, before dark black light engulfed her whole body. The shadows stretched, toward Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, Kagura, Momiji, Hatsuharu, Hatori and Kisa. As they shuffled out of the way, the shadow decreased and formed the body of a dragon.
As the shadows faded, a dragon emerged. Tohru has never seen anything like it, starting from the head; it was all shades of blue to the very tip of the scale. The main parts anyway. The mane was mainly dark blonde, but some light blonde was streaked past it, each strand longer than the other. The eyes were an icy arctic blue that shone out so brightly, it almost blinded people. The scales held the look of death, with blue mixed with green, grey and black, it created the body. The colours mixed and matched and found themselves over and over so slow you must concentrate on one scale to notice.
As the transformation was complete, some decomposed dragons lowered their head, but just very slightly. One in particular, a green, grey and black boned one, with the skeleton frame came up to Kaida's dragon form and nuzzled Kaida's chin. Its eyes, the colour of dark emerald green shone as it seemed to greet the new-comer. Every other dragon had red eyes, all decomposed dragons had black rusting skeleton bodies, while ones that are alive were of just one colour: red, black, purple, blue, brown, hot orange, dark grey, light grey, white and even blonde. All which bowed down to Kaida's dragon form.
Well, what do you want?!
Tohru wasn't sure, but with the glare she received from Kaida, she was sure of it. She was speaking right into her mind, it pained her so. It was like each word was forced into her brain. Her heart hammered in her chest, it seemed like an iron hammer was slammed square onto her forehead.
Well, don't you want to speak to me?!
Again, it hurt her so, as she looked again at her eyes, she felt like she was shot, as everyone around her began to fade away, giving way to another world. She looked around, confused and don't know what to make of it. She stared straight ahead.
There, in front of her, she was in the corner of a street, a car accident just occurred. The car was smashed, the wheels were missing. She ran over to look inside to see, none other than her own mother. She held her in her trembling hands, blood dripped down Kyoko's face from the forehead, Kyoko opened her eyes.
'Tohru…Tohru… you're going to be late for school. Tell you're father I'll be waiting for him in Heaven.' Kyoko said, her hand raised up toward Tohru's crying face, before falling down.
Then she knew, her mother never accepted the fact that her father died when she was very young, and so she forced herself to only think about Tohru, and so now it went so far that she forgotten the fact that he really died. And her concern for Tohru's education was even more important to her mother than her own life. She was in a life and death situation and she wasted her last breath to remind Tohru to go to school.
Tohru screamed into the night. Asking and shouting pleads into the sky as it began to rain hard. She didn't understand, why her mother, wasn't a father enough for her to live with in her life? Why also her mother? Why was she picked on? Why does her life have to be so unfortunate?
The scene faded away, to reveal a castle. Everything seemed to fast forward and in a second she was inside a dimly lit room with a candle. In front of that was a body, with grey hair!!
Tohru ran her feet to death toward the body. As she lifted them up, sure enough it was Yuki. But instead of the pale skin, there was blood splattered everywhere across his face. He was wearing an ancient Chinese armor but without a glove. His eyes slowly opened.
'Toh-Tohru…Kyo-Kyo has finally proven himself to be stronger than I am…' He said, a small smile forming across his face. He pulled a hand up to Tohru's face, caressing her smooth skin, 'W-why are you crying?' Tohru started crying before she realized the sting in her eyes. Her heart broke again as she looked at his taunted body and saw a wound the size of a hole in his chest where his heart would've been.
'Heh, I still remember the night you told me more about myself than I ever knew that I were, you said my kindness was like in a shape of a candle,' he pointed to the candle that gave the room its light, Tohru carefully entrusted her eyes to leave Yuki's face and look at the candle, 'Whenever I'm there, I always seem to bring a little more light into the room. But right now, I seem to bring more tears than I do with light. Look at what I'm doing to you right now?' He carefully wiped a tear away from her face. Tohru held onto it, more tears forming with every second that past by which Tohru had to endure looking at Yuki's pain.
'Go off now, you can't stay with me here forever, but there is just one thing that I thought that one day I could tell you but I must now, or I'll never get the chance,' He smile his sincere and caring smile, 'I love you. More than anything in the world. You didn't mind my transformation, you seemed to care about me and understand me more than anyone in the world ever did.' With that, his head tilted and his eyes closed. His hand dropped down.
The familiar pain of loss spread through Tohru's whole body.
'Tohru!' She heard.
'Tohru! Wake up!!!'
That voice…so…so close…so familiar…
When Tohru opened her eyes, she was stunned to see Yuki starring down at her, his eyes showing concern and worry. She jumped up from wherever she was and embraced Yuki, as his face became an expression of shock and amazement, he transformed with a poof.
'I'm so sorry, but I was so scared!' Tohru cried to the tiny rat.
'It's alright…' Yuki said as a rat as Tohru cried non-stop.
'What did you do, sister Kaida?' Kisa asked, hiding behind Hatori.
'I simply allowed her to see, the death of her loved ones is all, and she seemed quite shocked…' Kaida sneered, her voice quaked the cave, and she looked to the side, refusing to face the others.
'That's horrible Kaida!' Hatori scolded.
'Ha! Like you are the one to talk. You did something much worse than just allowing someone to see a part of their past that isn't real for a minute is much better than forcing someone to loose all rights of a human being for their entire lives you know, Father.' Kaida said to every living creature in the cave. Suoh, drifting next to Kaida, gave a small roar of agreement.
Kana still seemed scared that Hatori was the father of her child; she had her left hand over her mouth. Hatori, still thinking that Kana was already married noticed she didn't have a ring on her ring finger. At that moment he didn't know what to think, so was she or was she not married? Hope seemed to burst into his heart while helplessness was still dangling around his mind.
'No Father, Kana isn't married, it was all a trick. She's still deciding.' Kaida told her father her eyes closed for a second or two.
'Come back Kaida, I may've been the worse fake brother on this planet, but please, come back…' Yuki asked, pleadingly.
'What should I do back at Shigure's house huh? I haven't been to school for so long already, I won't be able to catch up, even if I do…' Kaida said, her eyes sad but her spirit strong.
'By the time she does, it will be time for her to be executed.' Suoh filled in for her.
'There must be something we could do! I don't know who made these rules but they must be stopped! There…simply must be something I could do.' To started to sniff at her own words, 'I don't believe that someone like you, would have to end their life so quickly and not get any reward for all the pain you've been through to allow us to live more happily.'
'What can you do? You weren't capable to lift the Sohma curse.' Kaida lifted her head toward the ceiling, looking longingly at the top of the lair, 'I, Kaida Ryu Sohma the one cursed with the burden of all hatred from the Sohmas is to be saved by you, the girl all Sohmas talk about? I'm not so sure about that.'
'But there simply must be a way. Just please! Come back with us!' Tohru pleaded.
'Oh fine, just stop your nagging. Suoh, C'mon.' She looked at Suoh, his eyes glowing with red and his teeth chattering in anger and hidden fear, 'It's alright, I won't let them do anything to you. We'll still have our martial practices.' Kaida promised in Suoh's ear her eyes softening.
Suoh's eyes became a dull maroon. He lowered his head, some of the bones in his dragon form began to crack as he transformed back with his back turned. White, dull light engulfed him as he changed. He picked up his clothes from deeper inside the lair, and began to put them on.
Tohru couldn't believe it, but somewhere she could see that the real Kaida at that moment would've been smiling or at least have a curve upon her mouth.
As Kaida was once again swallowed into the colour of darkness as she transformed, she went deeper into the dragon lair and took her clothes as well.
It now seems that the hard part was finally over, but the game hasn't even begun…
