Chapter 2 : Hotaru Tomoe

'Koran...'she called her small pet.

'Miewwwww'the small demon purred in her cheek.

I lived in the same house were I leved with her.Her room is unchanged and that way will stay.People look at me strangely,but I don't care anymore.I stopped care long time ago.When you can't feel anything but hate and disgust to Life,you do that.Stop carring.My name is Hotaru Tomoe.I'm 18 years old and I live alone.My parents died years ago and my sister Yellena died 4 years ago .We were twins.The villagers said that she died by a strange deseas send my gods,but I knew.She died by broken heart.I'm her twin sister and this is my story.

'Here you go,Yellena...'

Hotaru put the flowers on the well kept grave.It was on a tall field,under a large tree with a small garden around it.The stone was maked from the most expensive stone you could find in those times and was writing in japonese : Yellena Tomoe Born: 26 march 1481 Deaceased: 2 june 1495 Beloved sister and daughter ..We will miss you but not as much as the angel of the skye missed you during your life.May you rest in peace,beautiful angel.

Tears camed to Hotaru's eyes while she read the words that she herself wrote it.This time she let them show because she was alone.Her hands were intot he earth from the grave and the tears were coming in madness.

'You know...this year Hiru tried again to ask my hand.But I did like the last year...'she tried to smile while she looked at the garden to be well kept.'I throw rocks on his head until he runed away like hell...You remember when we turned 14?He tired since then...Even after...'she let her eyes in the gorund and felt into her knees.'Even after you died...'

Rin was on the field,gathering flowers for her Lord.Them all were so pretty but she knew that something was missing.She had blue,white,red and orange but she looked after yellow.Nothing yellow.Until she saw something yellow in front of her,under a tree.

'Yellow flowers!'she smilled and runed towards it.

Soon,she stoped as she saw young girl in front of a stone,in the middle of the beautifull garden.The girl was wearing a beautiful white with red roses kimono and a long low ponytail wich reached her waist.The color of the haire was dark-violet and was so beautifull.The girl was slim and she was...crying..Rin felt sorry for her and approached and saw why she cried.Someone dear her died.She hugged her from behind,scaring Hotaru.

'Don't cry.Mommy,dady and my brother are in Heavens to...but I don't cry anymore.They are happy there..'

Hotaru turned and saw a 8 years old girl with brown eyes and medium long haire and with a ponytail on the head.She had an orange kimono with green spots.Hotaru stopped crying and smiled to her.

'Who are you?I don't remember seeing you before..'

'I'm Rin.But i don't live in this village.'

'But where?The next village is long long way...'

'I'm with Sesshoumaru-sama!'she smilled.'Come with me to meet him!'

Hotaru frozed.She said Sesshoumaru?That disgusting demon was crrying a little girl with him?

'He's coming!Sesshoumaru-sama!Sesshoumaru-sama!Come meet my new friend!'

He was coming.She wasn't ready to see him.She knew that for revenge she had to make a plan.So,she stood and runed away to the village,in a great speed.

'Don't go!'Rin yelled after her but it wasn't good for anything.

'I have to go Rin-chan!Come to the big house from the middle of the village if you wanna see me!But come alone!'

'She left..'Rin whispered to herself and turned to the stone.'Who is she?'

'Rin.'camed a cold voice behind her.She turned on her heels and smilled.

'Sesshoumaru-sama!'

Sesshoumaru looked at the stone and when he read the name his heart humped a beat slowlly.Yellena Tomoe.The name was familiar.He remembered.It was a young human girl who he met in a batlle with a youkai.He dropped Tesseiga and she gaved it to him,without esitation.For a human,she was very beautifull,with big violet,almost talking eyes.Milky skin and pink lips...The scent...He remembered her scent.So nice...But she was only human.And he hated humans.Then he read the rest of the inscription from the stone.His eyes blinked a second in surprise but his face remained the same as usual.'So,she died...4 years ago...4 days after our last encounter...She looked healthy...She was healthy...Humans are so strange...'.He saw the beautifull garden.Someone loved her and still loved her.The garden was well carried.

'Rin.Who were you talking to?'

'Nani?Ai...it was a beautiful girl My Lord.She was crying here.Poor her...'

'Crying ...how did she looked like?'

'Hm...'

'She may be one of Naraku's spions...'

'Well,she had long darh-violet haire tied in a low ponytail,a white with red roses kimono,slim and she had so sad eyes...but a strange color...violet...And the skin was so white...and the voice was like the ocean's breeze..'

Sesshoumaru frozed a little.She had described the girl who was burried there.But it couldn't be.She was dead after all.

'Lets go,Rin.'

'To the village?'she asked seeing him walking towards it,in his slow walk.

'Hai.'was his answer.He had to be sure.Not for some special reason...just for him to be sure.

'I can feel her rage...her hate...'

'If she awakes...'

'It will be the end...We have to find her before that Michiru.'

'We shall.'

Hotaru stepped into her house and close the door behind her.He was here.After all this time.How could she revenge?Power,she didn't have...

'It has to be a way...'she whispered and runed up on th stairs.

'Lady Hotaru?'she heard one of her servants call her.She stopped and turned.

'Yes?'

'Your medicine...'

She glared him and turned back.

'I told you months ago to destriy it.I don't need any.'

'But,the doctor said...'

'No but.It is my will.'

She runed into her room and locked herself there.

'It's no use...death is in me allready,I can feel it..'

'Miewwwwww...'

Hotaru turned and saw Koran next to her,on the ground.

'You came after me,Koran,that's a good girl...'

'Miewwwwwww...'the little kitten purred.

'Rin...I hope you'll come,but alone...alone till I find a way to kill him...'

'Miewwww...'

'I know you don't aproove that Koran,but...'she let her face into the kitty.'There is not other way for me to release miself of all this hate.Even if...even if sometimes I feel that not even seeing him dead won't save me.I think I lived to much with all this hate and pain in my heart...'

She tooked out a nice night outfit and changed herself.

'I still dress like her...hm...I think I miss her much more than I admit it.'said her looking in the mirror.She released her haire from the onytail and brush it carefully.

'Knock,Knock...'

'Hai?'

'You have a visitor miss...'

'At this hour?'

'Is a little girl Milady.'

'Rin...'Hotaru smiled honestly.The servant looked at her in shock.It was the first time in years when she smilled like that.Hotaru turned and runed out of the door without taking anything else on her.In her run,she rised the bottoms of her outfit so she could run faster.The house was pretty big and that's why she runed so fast,happy that Rin came.The night outfit was black,maked from silk,expensive one and was quite a nice view to see her in it.She saw the stairs and stopped suddenly at the top of them.Her smile soon dissappeared when she met two golden eyes staring at her ,directly into her eyes.

'It...It's her...'he thought and looked at her attentif.Then he saw the cahnge in her look.The happiness dissappeared when she saw tooked place in her eyes and on her features.

'He looks confused a little...the eyes are betraying him..hm...maybe its not that hard to ...'she thought and forced a fake smile on her face.

Her private servant came and gaved her something to cover herself more.Hotaru walked to them and gaved Rin a hug.In her ear she whispered.

'I told you to come alone,Rin...'

Rin giggled and whispered a sorry.

'Sesshoumaru...'she glared him.

Her look hit him and surprised him.Very rare humans were so...so cold.She asked them into the huge living room.

'We don't stay much.'

She looked at him with an ironic face and tooked Rin's hand.Together,the 2 girls sat on a big and fluffy couch.On the wall behind the couch was a big paint.Rin thought it was Hotaru,cause she looked like her,a little younger,dressed into a gorgeus white dress and she smilled very beautifully.Sesshoumaru entered and when he saw the paint he almost lost his breath for a second.

'Is that you?'Rin asked.

Sesshoumaru looked at her,expecting the answer.Hotaru turned a little sad and she looked at the paint.

'No...She is Yellena...my sister...'

'Yellena...'Rin repeated and looked at her .'Is the...'

'Yes.She died 4 years ago...by broken heart...'she said and glared again the silver demon.

'Broken heart?Is that a illness?'

'No Rin.Its not.You see,to die by broken heart means to die of love...'

'Love kills you?'Rin seemed confused.

'She does,when its not responded at it.I would wish for her to die from a illness...that way she wouldn't suffer as much as she did...Yellena died in a few days but she died with a smile on her face and still hoping...'

'Hoping?'

'Yes,Rin...but that's enough...I do not wish to discuse about this again...But you see...the differences between me and the other people that were next to ehr during those days is that I felt everything ...every paine,thought,desire,hope...'

Sesshoumaru was still in the door,far away from them.The thoughts were claming his mind.

Flashback...

'I told you allready.The answer is no.'

'Please...I love you...'she said and tooked him by his left arm.He pushed her and she felt in her knees,crying.He looked at her with a eye and saw her look.So much pain...Then he left,leaving her there,on the field.

End of flashback...

It was the last time he saw her.Now he saw her grave and he still didn't feel anything.Or he did felt but he denied it.

'Rin.'

'Hai,Sesshoumaru-sama!'

'We are leaving'.

With that he turned and walked out of the house.Rin hugged Hotaru and followed her Lord.Hotaru remained in the same place and looked at the paint.

'I promise you again Yellena...This won't remaine like that.He will see how is to be alone and empty inside.'
