Chapter 13 : The shadow

'Reikun!'

'Sesshoumaru.'

The two lords were standing one in front of the other.Reikun didn't have time to react and he found himself pinned to a stone by Sesshoumaru's clawed hand.

'What is this,Sesshoumaru?Weren't we,friends?'

'I need answers.Now!'

'Answers?About what?'he tried to get out of the grip of Sesshoumaru's strong hand.

'4 years ago...'

'4 years ago what?'

'Did you killed two human sisters?'

'I killed many humans,I can't remember all!'

Sesshoumaru pulled out Toikjin with his other hand.

'Sisters you said?'

He received a glare.

'Hm...Yes...two sexxy sisters...Hm...to bad one of them died!'

'One of them?'

'Yes...'

'Wich one?'

'Who knows,they looked the same...'

'Who?'he said and scratched Reikun's skin with Toikjin's blade.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hotaru was walking with no direction,staring in nothing.She looked like she was crazy.Her face was calm,her haire looking fine but her eyes were...to calm...She was shaking her head and caught it in her hands.

'No...I don't want to remember...it isn't real...'she was saying all the time.

She knew were she haves to go,so she went.She left behind the forest,croassed fields but she knew that soon the truth will come out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshoumaru was running as fast as he could,using his entire power on that.he had to get there before her,and stop her.He would never thought that she was...What that filthy Reiku told him...he killed him.Slowlly.And then he ressurected him using his Tensseiga,only to kill him again.

Flashback...

'Where is this place?'

'On the Sacred Mountain...its a large tree with very good and rare fruits...'

'Reiku...before I kill you..Why did you do it?'

He smirked at me.

'It was fun...If you would see her eyes...looking at her sister...'

'Bastard!'I growled angry .

End of flashback...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'I'm here.'

That was all she said and looked at the large tree.Big fruits were hanging on his branches almost begging to be collected.She searched with her eyes all around for something that she didn't knew exactly.Then.she saw it.A grave stone hided begind some tall grass and flowers.A forgotten grave...Her heart became like ice.She walked towards it when a huge silver light came inf ront of her and she covered her eyes.

'Hotaru.'

'Sesshoumaru...'she whispered when she saw him.

They watched themselves a few seconds and when she tried to pass him,he stopped her.

'Don't.'he said.

She put her hand on his arm and pushed him gently away.

'I have to.'

'It wont help you!'

She looked at him and smilled.With one hand she touched his face and he let his cheek in the coup of her hand.

'I allready know who is there...but I have to remember...understand?I must...free myself.'

He touched her hand that rested on his face.

'Is it more important than us?'

'Us?'she said.'there can't be any us...'she said and walked away,stopping inf ront of the grave.

'Why?'

'Cause for that...'she said and read the grave stone.'I'll had to be alive.'

The grave's stone:

Roses are red,

Violets are violet,

White is joy,

Black is sadness,

Flowers are life,

Earth is death,

While she was with us,we were white

Now that she left her flowers

For the peace that rests in the earth,

Go to the light...

So we'll never be apart...

Here lies beloved daughter and sister,Hotaru Tomoe,dead at 14'th years old.May she find her path thru the light,and rest in peace.

seriously now,did you expected on that?-author's note)

Sesshoumaru approached her and read the inscription.He knew that.Reiku told him.He hugged her almost afraid that she will vanish and leave him alone.

'Stay with me.'he said into her ear.

'Everything was...a lie?I have to remember...'she said ignoring him and touched the words from the stone.he put his hand over her and he saw black all around him.Then,something like a light came and he found himself standing in his feet,staring at the tree when he heard sweet voices,laughing.He turned and saw...

'I told you,we'll find here the fruits we need!'

'Yellena,we should of not come...Its kinda late and ...'

'It won't take long!'she said with a big smile that maked her sister smile to.

'Ok,lets go.'

The two girls stopped under the tree and start collecting the fruits wich were on grass.

'Did you still see him?'

Yellena blushed and smilled.

'I take it as a yes.'Hotaru answered.

'Why are you like that?'Yellena asked.

'Like what?'

'Why don't you like him?'

'Why do you allways ask me that?'

'Cause I know what you think...as you know what I think...'

'Yellena!'

'What?Its true!Do you denie the fact you don't like his eyes...his hair...his rare smile.even if something abd happens then...c'mon.admit it!You love him too,that's why you are so much furious on him...cause he maked you...feel...'

'Stop it!'

'You dream at him...at his kisses..his embrace.'she said this and rolled on her back,hugging herself.'His touch...its what you only want...'

Hotaru blushed at what yellena was saying and hit her with a fruit.

'You think he is sweet like this fruit...and he smells so good...you want to see him naked!'

'You're a perv!'

'Am I?You were thinking it!'

Hotaru blushed even more.

'But you were saying it!'

'So,you admit it?'

'Why do you want me to admit so much?That would mean we are rivals...even if I'm not the type to fight for a guy...'

'For a man...a strong one...'

'Yell,are you drunk!'

'Drunk of him...say Hota,I won't mind to share him with you!'

Hotaru looked at her sister with a tear on her head.

'You're making fun on me,don't you?'

'No,I'm not!'

'Perv!'

'Puppy in love!'

'Stop it!'

'Sesshoumaru,come to us,we love you so!'

'I said stop it!'

'Come and stop the fire that is burning her hearts,fire of desire!'said Yellena laughing.

Hotaru jumped on her and start fighting with her.But soon,the two girls were laughing and looking at eachother. Hotaru stood and arranged her hair.

'Say,Taru...'

'Nani?'

Yellena stood and caught her sisters hands.Easy they put hand over hand.

'We will have allways eachother,don't we?'

'Allways...'Hotaru answered.

'Look who we have here...'they heard and turned only to see a tiger demon looking at them with hunger in his eyes.

Hotaru looks at yellena,and Yellena looks at her.

'Don't come any closer!'Yellena screams at him and takes Hotaru by her waist.

'Or what?'he smirked and removes his haori.

'What are you doing?'Hotarua skes in shock.

'Lets have a little fun..I was looking for a mate but I see I had found two of them...you look so delicious...I can't wait'he says and in a second he got them bouth.Yellena punches him with her fruit basket and he hits her hard,sending her into the large tree.

'Yellena!'Hotaru screams her sisters name when she stopes suddenly,feelling his hot breath on her neck.

Sesshoumaru was allready so angry that he regreted to let Reiku's dead body for the wild animals...he should of decapitated him or something...When he saw him smelling her neck and touching her like that he wanted to rip apart that shadow but he knew it wasn't real...It was something from the past...

'Sssssssssss...little one...'

Then he pushes her to the ground and she tries to run but he's faster.her legs got capture and he pulls her under him.he takes a sitting position on her.

'No,please,leave me alone!Leave us alone!'

'You'll like it...you'll want more...I can feel that you are a virgin...that's more interesting...I'll be your first.'

'Ie...ie...'

He started to untie her clothes.

Hotaru looks at yellena,who will still fainted.then she starts to hit his rapier with all her strenght.He hits her.Bad. But she doesn't stopp.He hits her again and then he takes out a long knife from his waist.He takes it in bouth hands and smirkes at her,Then he...punches her with him in her heart.Hotaru gaspes once as blood comes out from her mouth and she dies.Her head falls on her right shouldeur and her eyes are half open.

Sesshoumaru looks at her from closer,with anger and pain.Her eyes are no longer sinning.they had lost they're glitter.They are cold...lifeless...staring in nothing.

Reiku gets uo,after he licks once her cheek.

'So sweet...to bad little one...maybe your sister will be more nice...'he says and licks his wounds from his arms.

Yellena opened her eyes and sees Reiku on top of her.She screams loud and when she sees her dead sister she sees red.She looks with her hand the scissors she had for the fruits and stabs Reiku in his chest.He hits her making her faint.Tired of the two he gets up and leaves the two bodies there.

Yellena gets up after a few moments and crowles to her dead sister.She touches her face and feels the coldness of her body.

'No,Hotaru,open your eyes.Stay with me!You promised!You said allways!No!Onegai!Open your eyes for me!'

But she doesn't.

The all image dissappears and another one appears.Yellena stand on a cliff in a pray position.

'I'll give my soul for my sister,so she could live longer...Never remembering this...'

With that she drops some earth over the cliff and a small shard of Shikon it is seen in the falling earth.

In her back,a light appears and then becomes a body.Hotaru's body.No wounds,nothing on it.Not even a bruise.The shard comes into her necka nd she openes her eyes.

'I give my soul for him,so he could never feel the pain I felt...'

She drops another coup of earth,this time with 2 other shards.The shards appear into Hotaru's body.One in her heart and one in her stomach.She looks one more time to her sister and closes her eyes,falling into darkness.

Sesshoumaru sees Yellena's soul coming out from her body,by force and only a part remaines in her."So much love...for her...for me...How can exist so much love in this pathetic world?"he askes himself in his mind.Then he sees Hotaru,his Hotaru,staring at Yellena's memory.He comes to her and takes her in his arms.

'Why weren't you there?'she askes him letting her haed on his chest.

'I would gave anything to be there for you and Yellena.I'm...sorry...'

'What will happened to me?'

'You'll live.With me.'

'I can not.I am...dead...'

'No,you're not...'

'I should...take out the shards...'

'NO!'

'Why are you so afraid off,Sesshoumaru?'

'Losing you...'

She looks at him with kindness and takes him from his neck,pulling him to her.

'Aren't you disgusted,by me?'

'I'll never be...I...I...love you.'

Her eyes grow bigger and she can't say anything.Just smille.

'How can you love me,knowing what I am?'

He puts her down on the grass,still holding her to his chest.

'You are Hotaru.That's what you are.'

She smilles and let him kiss her."I love you to Sesshoumaru...I know we don't have a future,but..just for the moment...we can pretend that there is nothing else except us..."
