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 5; Safe?

When you find some piece of peace after a long time of horror,

Will you believe it?

When you find a place for some time that provided you protection from you nightmares for only a wile,

Will you accept it or will you hope against hope that it will last forever?

What will you do if you find out that there is more behind the mirror of your soul you originally thought?

Will you run away in fear again or will you try to make sense out of the information's you got?

"This is the Place"

Keiko pointed her finger to the ground below her feet after she had stopped suddenly.

Hinagiku looked at her questionably.

After the two began their journey to this place nobody had spoken a single word.

Her friend had woken her up into the middle of the night, and told Hinagiku where she wanted to go.

Keiko heard Genkai telling from this place into the past, she had told the young girl back then that this was holy ground.

Nobody if it was yokai human or avatar from Reikei could cross the line around this place with bad intentions in mind heard or soul!

It was a sacred place, centuries old, an old battlefield filled with long death souls who where guarded from things older then the entire three realms.

Only those who had a pure soul and seeks for protection and brought no harm with them could cross the barrier around this old place without being harmed.

All the others who tried it where burned instantly!

The two young women looked at each other and stepped over the unseen line that build the barrier between the normal and the other world.

A tingling sensation run shortly over the spine of the woman but nothing other happened to them.

They went further into the Forrest around them.

Not looking back for only one minute

It was near noon when suddenly a black clothed figure appeared out of nowhere and stopped right in front of the barrier.

He could clearly see what the two young women had not seen.

A burning inferno that seemed to surround the entire place. Flames made out of some material not earth like burned widely right around his unnatural vision.

A single eye glowed softly into the middle of his forehead.

He knew this place.

He was here before, back in a time long forgotten.

One side of him had died here!

So, Hiei thought here had she went. The old battlefields. It was a surprise for the apparition. He did not know that Keiko knew the place. Here she was safe for the fist, which was certain.

Nobody could cross this barrier without being invited. This was the best place out of all she could go.

Long ago in time here went on a fight between two powerful forces and here it came to its end.

Since then nobody could cross the line with bad intentions, only those who seeks protectiveness and where willing to pay the prise for it, could cross it without getting harmed.

Hiei knew this all. He raised his hand up and hold it into the barrier line.

For some short moments the entire wall of red angry fire crakled dangerously around his black flames.

Then the yokai took his hand back.

It was burned black. The flames of the barrier where like his own black fire of hell not natural.

They both cancelled itself out and the barrier was stronger as his black Makai flames.

But he had not thought it would be otherwise, Hiei had awaited it.

With a shrug he looked again behind the barrier, you can not hide yourself there for ever, keiko. Not for the others, not for yourself and not for me.

With that the demon turned onto his heels and was away with an blink of an eye.

Shortly after his departure, some Reikei warriors appeared through a portal right before the barrier.

They could not see it, they only wondered why their portal had appeared here and not nearer to Ukimuras momentary place.

But they found it out the painful way after some of them tried to cross the unseen line, and turned into ash right before the eyes from their team members.
