Shattered soul
Well, this is one of my darker fics. When I first wrote it down I was in a bad mood but it turned out better as I thought it would.
Some into it will confuse you first to no end, but it will make sense later and is important for the rest of the story.
I hope you will like this one and tell me what you think.
Sorry for my bad English,

Chapter 4, Runaway
What will you do, when you find out pieces from a true what isn't anything you thought it would be?
Will you accept it?
What will you say, if you find yourself suddenly on top of the most wanted list?
Will you try to get away or will you stay?
What will you think when you see suddenly the dark side of your soul and find out that you like it?
Will you be terrified and scared?
What will you do, after the truth behind the façade of lies is out and you have to make up your own decision?
Will make it, or will you run away from it in order to keep your own little world in place?
(Sometimes it is harder to be a looser as to be a winner.)
Unknown person,
Around 1867
Keiko closed the door behind her and Hinagiku.
They had sitting there a long time and spoke in low tunes about everything they heard.
Hinagiku seemed suddenly older as herself so much more; it was frightening the human woman she was now a little.
But what frightened Keiko more then anything was that she had no way to escape their former friends in time!
She had wanted answers, yes.
But after this, Keiko suddenly wished she would have never gotten some!
No, that was not right; it was good she thought to know some of the real true.
But what nagged onto her inner thoughts was a tiny voice who told her constantly that this could not be all!
And Keiko had the impression that she was on the best way to find more as she bargained for!
So,
Yusuke had a wife, err, mate, she thought. And he seemed to be happy with her.
But inside her she felt no happiness for him…
Keiko simply could not bring herself to do that, not after she found out that he was it truly who broke the barrier and was so the one who broke the death to her beloved parents!
And friends!
And all the other people into her school and the rest of the world!
Keiko wished him nothing bad, but she could not bring herself to thing something good about her former friend and lover!
It had happened to much!
But when the woman tried to think about her new behave more deeply she found….
Nothing as empty darkness where once have been love.
The places into her heard where empty and barren, nothing inside was left.
It made her frantic, to find anything, some little of her old self left inside her soul, but instead she found only sorrow and hurt!
Nothing from the old Keiko was left to be finding, and that was what brought her back into the present.
She sat down after she took a shower, onto her futon.
In her lap laid a box she had not opened over the last years for one time.
Inside the simple brown paper box she hided her former life, when she was happy.
Right under the lid, there she found the same picture album she had left there.
It was filled with pictures from her friends and Yusuke.
But she throws it away from her like it was poisoned or dirty after she took every picture out of it where Kazuma and Shizuru or she was in.
Then Keiko cut them out of the pictures and the rest back into the book.
Hinagiku sit all the time quietly next to her friend.
She said nothing because it gave nothing more to say.
All the time of her live she had known the girl named Keiko Yukimura, Keiko was the stronger one in mind and soul from the two.
But after the first days right after the destruction of their both homes and lives she had found out that the strongest people could be broken!
After that all, her former friend was nothing more as a shadow, and so the two had found some peace into the presence of each other.
But since the accident into the school, Keiko had begun to change.
Hinagiku could clearly see it; it was into her eyes and the way Keiko spoke.
Her friend seemed suddenly so much harder as ever before… and so much colder.
Not against her, but against the world and the ones who ruled it!
After this day, when they had gone home, Keiko walked with an aura around her that scared the few people into their way home away from her path.
Not that Hinagiku had never seen keiko angry before, but she seemed not really angry, it was more that her livelong friend was showing the world a side of her she never did before.
A stronger side,
a harder side,
a colder side, of her self.
Her friend was not the same she was before, but was that such a wonder?
Hinagiku had talked with her a long time, it was near 00, 00 now and she wasn't tired at all.
She knew wath was going through the mind of her friend now;
Keiko set out, her new priorities in live!
What was important for her and what not.
And, her friend began late but not to late to clear her inner soul from the past that huted her more then anything!
And the first thing it seems that had to go was Keikos believe into the wrongness of the past, means her fake dream of hope that nothing of this all had happened really and that none of her friends had done anything wrong.
This was a different Keiko, indeed.
Suddenly keiko seemed to hesitate on one single picture to cut it into half.
It shows two people.
One was into black clothes and one, into a blue kimono. Both of them, where looking at each other and away from the watcher.
Keiko could not bring herself to cut the twins into half; after all she had going through the twins never hurt her.
It was the only picture from the two alone, Keiko had and they both had done nothing to harm her in any way, ever.
They where not her friends any longer in her opinion, but they where some rare people she surprisingly hold dear after this all.
Quietly she folded the picture and laid it onto a pile of pics to her side, then she took some other things out of the box and begun to take them into a back.
After she was ready, the two went to sleep.
In the next morning, some Reikei warriors opened quietly the door to their apartment, not to wake the occupants inside.
They planed to bring them quietly as they could to their destination.
With them was a single inhuman figure who remembered to a child but it wasn't one.
He looked around in the rooms of the two women with a thoughtful look.
They found nothing inside the flat as empty air.
They where gone.
The childlike figure turned around and walked out of the deserted place.
So, he thought she had decided to vanish from the world.
He had seen what the other people had not seen, the rest of the pictures inside a half open box along with some other stuff of her past.
But what had gathered his interest was one single picture he had silently taken into one of his pockets…
He looked at it for a long time, his features softer as before.
It had lain onto the kitchen table, with a single note onto it;
Don't follow me, Hiei…
When the Reikei members came out, he had already left them.
Fare away from there position, two lonely woman where walking onto a deserted old path into the mountain side outside of the town.
They had nothing other with them as two backpacks and walked quietly to a destination, unknown.
Leaving only dusty trails of dirt behind them…
