Chapter 17 :The end of it
Sesshoumaru looked down at Hotaru's body and turned to leave when he felt her energy again.He looked back and saw her symbol on her forehead shinning pale.He smilled.
'Take care of her Saturn.'he said
Then he continued his way and stopped in a small clearing.He then drew Destiny and her blade shined already knowing her master's wish.A white gate appeared and Sesshoumaru walked inside her.He was now in a very large place,fulled with drarkness and there were two huge statues guarding a big gate.
'Open it'he demanded coldly.
One statue opened her eyes.
'Lord of this World and the Next,you wish to pass into the World of the Dead……….you may pass but remember….'
The other one opened her eyes.
'Don't say to her who you are,even if you're desperate……If you fail now,you'll lose her forever.'the other one said.
'I will not say anything.Now open.'
The gates opened and he walked into the intense light.He found himself on a huge hill,with green grass and beautifull flowers.It was such a shinny day….He saw a large tree close and under his branches,a girl,with long raiven hair standing there,writing something on a piece of paper.She weared a white dress with blue skye flowers.
'Hotaru.'he said and approached her.
The girl rised her eyes from the paper and saw him.And he saw her eyes.She smilled and he recognize her.
'Yellena.'
She stood and approached her.
'Hy Sesshoumaru.'
He didn't said a word.What could he say?He looked at her and felt feelings long time hidded coming back to surface.
'Your looking for Hotaru,don't you?'she asked kindly.
'Hai.'
'She's at the lake.'
'The……..lake?'
'Yes……..the place were you first met us……..she loves that place………'
She brushed away a lock of haire from her face.She was…….beautifull………
'I…….'
'There's no need to talk Sesshoumaru.I know.Try not to change to much……..I love you the way you were and she loves you the same……..'
'You…still……..'
'Forever I shall.But I love my sister too and I want her happiness.I want you to be happy with her.So go….'
He turned slowly and then stopped.
'Tell me Yellena……..'
'What?'
'How can humans give up to the one they love like you did?'
'But I didn't gave up……..I just stepped aside……My love is to big to be able to interfere…….Be happy my Lord……..Be happy as I wished you to bee………'she said and let the paper from her hand disappear.Then,she smilled and he knew is good-bye time.
'Good-bye,Yellena,and forgive me…..'
She disappeared and few words were heard in the wind.
'I choosed this way……you choose better……There's nothing to forgive………Just……be happy………'
He looked at the tree one more time and recognize it.It was the hill were Yellena was buried.She could finally rest in peace….She had told him what he needed to know and what she needed to say.
He turned again and walked towards the lake.But he looked at his hand and saw that his stripes disappeared.Then,his claws.He drew Toikjin and saw that he has black ahire and blue icy eyes.No sign to be demon…….He was………..human……….Then he heard a sweet voice coming from the bushes.He pushed them away and saw Hotaru,a 14 years old Hotaru,with her feets in the cold water,playing around.
'Hy.'he said and maked her stop.
'Hy!'she said and looked at him surprised.
'What are you doing?'
'I try to catch a fish……….but they are to small!'she said laughing.
'Nice……can I talk to you?'
'Why?'
'You're remembering me of a girl…..that I had lost……..'he said sadly.
She became serious and got out of the water.
'Sure……..'
'What's your name?'
'I'm Hotaru.You?'
'I'm Se…..I'm Serefin..'
'Strange name……'she giggled and maked him wanting to hugg her closely and kiss her all.
'It is……tell me……..do you have a sister?'
'Yes…….Yellena……..why?'
'Just curiousity…….'
'You?'
'Inuyasha.And his very stupid.'
She laughed again loudly.
'Were do you live?'
'There's a village close by….'
'I see…….with your parents?O……they are dead………my family told me.'he said.
She shoked her head.
'They are alive……..its a mistake…….'
'Are you sure?'
She put her hands on her head,because it was hurting her.
'They are alive.'
'Hotaru,they…'he was saying when he heard a familiar voice inside his head."Your time is almost up….hurry……….."
He looked at her and knew what he was going to do and say but it was his last chance.He stood,after her and wrapped his arms around her,scaring her.
'Its me Hotaru……The girl I search…is you………can't you remember us?Can't you remember our fights and your love?Remember Hotaru……Remember ME!'
She turned to him and her eyes were full with tears.
'No….don't say it……..'she said in a whisper shaking her head.
He hugged her back.
'I'm Sesshoumaru.'
Then he kissed her but in that second he felt himself sanking in the grass,losing the grip of her hands.She hold him by the hand but was still confused.
'Don't let me go..'she said like she was in trance.
'Hotaru…'he said again and lost her hand into darkness……………….
If...I...
Should ...stayed...
I would only be in your way...
And so I'll go...
...and yet I know...
That I'll think of you...
..each step...off my way...
He opened his eyes and saw grass.He looked around after her but she wasn't there anymore...he was alone...back to reality...he looked at his hands...It was him again...His eyes turned sad.
'Hotaru...'he said looking at the hands that just hold her and touched her delicate body.He remembered her confused eyes and he knew that she wanted to say something.The reason she didn't returned to him...
And I will allways love you...
Will allways...love you...
Bitter-swwt..memories...
That's all..I have...I'm taking...all...with me...
A cold tear wet his face and he knew that he had failed her...Failed...Sesshoumaru had failed...He couldn't bring her back...He was alone again...Maybe he was cursed...All the ones he loved and who loved him had died...First was Sara...Second...Yellena...Now...Hotaru...
Goodbye...please don't cry...
'Cause we both know that I'm not...
...what you need...
I will allways...love you...
Will allways...love you...
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all...
That you ever dreamed of...
Oh, I do wish you joy...
And I wish you happiness...
But above all this...
I wish you ...love...
I love you, I will always love...
He stood from the place he was and turned to walk to the place he had let her body.He had to take care of her..."I love the way you hold me...I feel safe..."her words returned to him.Yes..he will hold her one more time...one last time...For one last time she will feel safe...she will not be alone in darkness...he will be there to hold her...And so he walked thru the woods,back to the cliff...where she was waiting for him...
"They say that when you hate so long time you can't love...but its a lie...you can love...I did...I hated him so much...But now I love him as much as I hated him...I had to let him go...He desrves better...If I would return...the past would of affected us...sooner or later...you can't run from it...So I died...And I left him...I can feel his arms around me...Makes me feel so good...his so warm...I love the way he makes me feel with a simply touch...I will allways love him...And maybe...just maybe...one day...I'll rebirth...And we shall find eachother...Hate will be let behind...And there will be only love...We shall not be haunted by that shadow...that SHADOW OF...THE PAST...My name is Hotaru Tomoe...I have 18 years old and I lived to tell you this story...the story of how you can give up on hate...for love...My name is Hotaru...And this was my story...Mine and Sesshoumaru's...Sayonara..."
