The Dream: Luci's Destiny Chapter Fifteen
I don't own anything!!! (But Luci) Please read and review! Enjoy!
Chapter Fifteen: Brother and Sister
Yoshiro pushed the button again. Nothing happened, and no one exploded. He smashed the useless button a few more times. Then he discovered what had happened. Suddenly, the controller was pierced by a spiky, olive green vine and broke it into a myriad of pieces.
"What!?" Yoshiro was horrified. Hiei smirked. With a sizzle, the electricity to the cell was disconnected and Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama were released along with Yukina and Luci (who fell on the ground in an unconscious heap). Kurama's vine had destroyed the controller, but how did he do it?
Wouldn't Yoshiro find out what he was thinking and thwart everything that Kurama planned? Weren't Kurama's plant powers useless?
That didn't matter to Hiei. With a punch, the screen that the fat guy was screaming went blank. Kurama sliced through the iron bars with his rose whip and then slashed a break into the cell's gateway. Luci had slowly begun to open her eyes. She was utterly exhausted but slowly stood up and tried to limp out of the cell. Unsuccessfully, She fell back down after a few steps, so Yusuke carried her on his back as they rushed into the tunnel.
Using his Jagan, Hiei led the way through the long maze of tunnels to get out of underground prison cells. They ran quickly and at the same time fought off men that attacked them. Even demons attacked them. Isn't this an all-human place? How are there demons in this place? Kurama thought to himself.
Even though she was half-awake, she could see the brownish-rot colored demons chasing them. Suddenly, something came to her mind. When she was first strapped into that chair in that room with the computer, she saw pods of water with humans inside. Their skin look like it was about to rot. Was was this Yoshiro doing? What was he doing? Was he mutating humans?
We should help them, shouldn't we? I don't think we can help them though, I mean, we should worry about ourselves first, right? Besides I don't know where they keep the humans... I don't even know if he's really mutating anyone... and they could already be dead for all I know... and care... That's too bad; I'm just too weak and hopeless to do anything. I guess I can't plan on stopping...I'm too scared... I just want to go back to sleep...I wish things could stay like this... Yusuke carrying me trying to keep me safe...He actually cares...I wish...I wish this could last forever...a tear fell down Luci's cheek as she fell back asleep.
As the days go by,
You make me happy,
Just with that smile of yours.
As the years go by,
You keep me warm,
And make me feel safe...
Yukina couldn't run very fast. She wore a pair of leather flip-flops that Keiko had given to her, and her kimono was quite long. Kuwabara had offered several times to carry her but she simply said:
"No, Kazuma, you must fight; I'll just slow you down."
Suddenly Yukina tripped. Then a hideous brown-colored fiend landed on her. She screamed and twitched in alarm; Hiei's turned his head in the direction of the scream.
Angrily, Hiei jerked the monstrous creature off of his sister and threw him at least a mile away. Then, he lifted Yukina up onto his back. He ignored Kuwabara's cries and continued sprinting forward.
Yukina, for the first time, felt her brother's love. He's so...warm...oh Hiei...I wish every day could be like this...just me and my brother...I know...I shouldn't be so selfish, but I really do wish that this day could last...forever...
You make me feel at ease,
Holding me tightly,
I can't let you go.
If only this were everlasting...
A voice echoed through the maze. "Capture the girl alive at all costs! Don't them escape! If they are not caught, I will suspend your life! GO!" Yoshiro continued blabbering.
"They're after Luci!" Yusuke yelled. Kurama formed a barrier of plants behind them, so they could have no force attacking them from behind.
A grimy hand pierced through the clay ground and encircled Kuwabara's ankle, causing him to trip. He grabbed the closest object next to him, which happened to be Luci's arm. He pulled her off of Yusuke and fell. Then a bat-like creature swooped down and picked Luci up.
Yusuke shot a spirit gun at the creature, but it dodge the blast. Then Kurama jumped up and sliced it in half with a rose whip. Another flying creature caught Luci and continued flying into the maze.
"Luci!" Yusuke yelled. He tried to catch the creature, but Kurama's wall prevented him from moving into the fortress. Yusuke angrily punched the wall causing it to disappear.
Hiei continued running out of the maze with Yukina.
"Where are you going, Hiei?" Yusuke shouted at him.
"This girl does not concern me. I have Yukina, now I'm leaving."
"What? How can you say that? After everything that has happened, how can you say THAT?"
Kurama and Kuwabara stared at the two, knowing they could not do anything to stop their argument.
"Fine," yelled Yusuke. "GO on. We never needed your help anyways. I'll go alone." Yusuke ran off.
"Wait! Urameshi!" Yusuke ignored Kuwabara's shouts and continued running in hopes that he could reach Luci, before anything might happen to her.
Part Two:
Luci was wide awake after the second creature had picked her up. "Let me down!" shouted Luci, kicking and struggling to break free.
"If I let you go, you'll drop to your death," the creature screeched. "But—"
It can talk! I'm right... I have to be...The creature carrying Luci soon dropped her from the high altitude from where she was.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Luci screamed as she fell...and fell. Plop. She landed in icy, cold water. Before she could realize what was happening, she was pushed underneath the water and could not breathe. What was happening? Oh no. It couldn't be true. She was a human inside a pod of water. Luci was trapped, and she couldn't get out.
I sense Luci's spirit, but it's growing stronger. What's happening? Damn... Yoshiro, what do you want? I swear, I'll get to you, and you'll be sorry you even dreamt of... wait a second. What's that? I can't sense Luci at all. What happened? Is she...no this can't be happening...sis...
Hiei had carried Yukina out of the fortress to the black gate. He slowly set her down.
"Hiei," Yukina whispered, "so you are my brother, aren't you?"
Hiei just stared ahead without speaking a word.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you need to keep it hidden?" Yukina asked him. I think I know why... but I don't care...I would be willing to risk my life...as long as I knew...my heart would be at ease.
"It was for your own good," Hiei finally said at last.
"But—I don't care. If you had told me so long ago... I would have...I would have been a lot better off..." What am I saying? I shouldn't blame him for anything... he's tried his hardest to be a brother that I would want... "Hiei—I'm sorry. I shouldn't be like this." She put her arms around his waist and embraced him with love. "Hiei," she whispered, "I love you. You're a—good brother...I'll be fine. There's someone right now that needs you even more though. Please, go and help a lost soul. You won't regret it."
