Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed, or Gundam Seed Destiny. Inuyasha is an idiot. Why chase after some dead woman (Kikyo) who killed him fifty years ago, when he could have Kagome? She's younger than Kikyo, and loves him as a half demon. I guess I won't know for awhile…fooy!
Chapter 4 Kitsu and Mizu
(1:26pm. House)
Kira was about to advance forward when he heard someone running down the hall. He turned and looked surprised. A young boy jumped at him and knocked him down. "You stay away from my sister!" he shouted as he tried to hit the Samurai.
Kira grabbed his wrist and sat up, a bit dazed from the fall. "Hey, stop. I didn't know, I'm sorry for upsetting you." said Kira to the struggling boy. The boy stopped when a girl about six or seven walked out of the shadows. "Kitsu," the boy said as the brunette let him go. The boy grabbed his sister's hand and held her behind him. "You can do whatever you want to me, but leave Kitsu out of it!" the boy challenged angrily. Kira sighed. "I don't want to hurt either of you, it's alright. Did your parents," the two children nodded. Kira saw the hurt in their eyes. "Well, if you help me, I can definitely help you." The boy looked at Kira quizzically. "What do you want us to do?" he asked. Kira smiled. "My friend is sick and I need some herbs, are there any left?" Kitsu looked up.
It was then Kira realized her eyes were large, and that they were a very interesting color. They were a light bluish, and were nearly white. Whereas her hair was dark brown. Her brother was the same, but his eyes were a dark brown like his hair. "Yes, do you know which ones you need? Me and Mizu know where everything is." Mizu turned to his sister. "You promise you won't hurt us?" he asked untrustingly. Kira nodded. "Follow me!" Kitsu said happily. As his sister led the boy away, he walked into the room where he had seen him come out of. He walked over to the bed and saw a girl that looked at east eight years older than his eleven. She had a pained look in her face. "Why does she hurt," he asked himself in a trance as he lifted a spirit hand and touched her fore head. He saw her dreams.
Dream
There was fire everywhere. But if you looked hard enough, you could see the shapes of figures. They were all facing her. "What? Jean, father!" she called to the closest figures. But instead, she saw them leave, seeming to disappear into the flames. "What? Wait, please don't go!" she pleaded. She turned and saw Kira looking at her with those eyes. "Kira? Please, stay with me," but he too turned away, flames engulfing him. Tears were in her eyes. She felt something in her hand. She looked down and saw the necklace Jean had given her. Lacus gripped it tightly. She also felt something hold her hand. She looked up and saw that the flames were gone and only darkness. She looked down at her side and saw a small boy with dark brown hair holding her hand. "It's alright, your friend will not leave you," he said. "What?" she asked.
End Dream
Lacus lifted her eyes slowly, and saw they boy holding her hand. She looked to the doorway and saw Kira with a little girl; he also had something with him. They boy who seemed to be in a trance looked up, and saw his sister and the Samurai returned. He stood facing him. "Samurai, what is your name? And who is your woman?" he asked. Kira blushed at the boy's last words. "Uh, she's not my woman, she's my friend, her name is Lacus, and my name is Kira." he answered awkwardly. "Hmm." was all he answered as he remembered how Lacus had a hurt expression when Kira had left her. "She only has a cold, it will be easy to treat." said the little girl. Kira walked towards Lacus and brushed her bangs from her face. "It's alright, you can rest now." the girl smiled at Kira and closed her eyes, reassured by his words.
"You do like her." said Mizu as he watched. Kira turned to him, and kneeled down to his level. "You can see into her dreams, how?" he asked. Mizu looked surprised. Kira still had a soft face on, so he wasn't angry, yet. "Well, it's just something I can do," he said as her shuffled his feet. Kira looked puzzled, but then reached over to the boy and gently pulled the collar of his shirt a little below his neck line. The tattoo was there. It was a chrysanthemum. "The boy looked down guiltily. His sister saw what Kira saw, and pulled her shirt down a little bit, exposing a cherry blossom etched in her skin. "What are these anyway? We've had them for a real long time, but we don't know why. Do you?" Kira a looked at bit silent, but then said, "No, I'm sorry." Mizu and Kitsu looked a little down but Kira still looked happy. "C'mon, why don't you help me perform a burial service," Mizu and Kitsu looked a little happy that their people would be put to rest properly, and followed.
Lacus laid in the bed, thinking of what had happened, when she reached into the collar of her dress and pulled out the necklace. Their mother had made it for Jean when she was born, he was only five, and thought it was girly, and never wore it, only at her burial service. "Mama, how could you do that? How could you all leave me here?" she asked quietly, Tori looking at her skeptically. That boy, how did he get inside of my dreams? she thought. Is it like Kira's power? Or is it a spiritual ability? What is all this? she kept asking herself.
(7:47pm. Village grounds)
Kira finished burying the last body, and wiped his brow. His light blue shirt had come a little loose and Mizu looked up at the strange boy and noticed something. Are those, vine tattoos? he asked before Kira deftly pulled his shirt back up. He smiled at the boy and girl. "C'mon, there must be something to eat around here." his smile was warm and his eyes kind. Much different than what Mizu had expected to be of a man who wielded a sword. "Yeah, there's a food shed that wasn't even burned." he walked off and Kitsu started back to the house that Lacus resided in. He followed.
That Kira, he's hiding something, but what? Mizu thought as he grabbed a bundle of food and walked back to the house. He walked in and saw that his sister was in the room with the girl, just starring at her. "You know Kitsu, it's impolite to stare." he stated. Kitsu turned around with a curious look in her eyes. "Why would she be dreaming about people walking away from her?" the little girl asked, her white eyes looking up at her brother for an answer. "I don't know, maybe she lost them." said the boy, hoping this would silence his sister.
Kira walked in then, and sat down near the bed Lacus was laying on. "So, what did you find?" he asked warmly. Kitsu pushed the bundle forward that he opened and sat with his sister, munching on a chunk of bread each. Kira reached forward and did the same. Tori awoke, and hoped over to her master, hoping he'd feed her. "Here Tori." Kira said as the bird hopped into his palm and pecked at the food. "Kira." said Mizu importantly. "Yes?" he asked. "My sister and I would like to come with you, at least until you found a village you could leave us in." the boy was expecting a no, but Kira smiled and placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "Yes, you can come, but it will be dangerous." he said. Mizu nodded happily and smiled sincerely at Kira for the first time.
After awhile, Kira looked at the two tired children. "You guys have to get some sleep. Go on." they got up slowly and Mizu laid down two pallets for himself and sister. He also left one rolled up incase the other boy wanted to use it. When Kira was sure the children were asleep, he looked upon Lacus's sleeping face, his face inches from hers. He smiled and would have turned still smiling, but saw something on her chest above the dress collar. "What?" he asked looking closer. It was faint, but he could see traces of a flower on her skin that seemed to darken after every few moments. It was in the shape of an orchid. The other rare flower besides his own. She is a Hukari descendant, he thought silently. He sat in a corner by the door incase of an emergency. His head rested against the door frame, his sword at the ready in his grip.
(1:35am. House)
Mizu's eyes flashed open and he sat up quietly not to wake his sister. She had her thumb in her mouth, and was gripping the blanket tightly. He smoothed her dark hair and crawled over to the corner where Kira slept deeply. Mizu reached out a spiritual hand and touched the brunette's fore head.
Dream
Kira was cutting down a Red Samurai and flicked the blood off. But when he turned, he saw Creuset holding Lacus again, but this time, she was already hurt, and Creuset had a twisted look in his eyes. He cut her and disappeared. Kira raced towards her and held her in his arms, "Lacus, please don't leave me." he said. Lacus ignored him. "You can't save me." The girl disappeared; instead, he was now standing in a field, with Cagalli and Athrun standing in front of him. "Kira, we need to stop this. You're different, we shouldn't be together anymore, it could put all of us in danger. See ya!" shouted Cagalli as they walked away. "What? Wait!" he called. But he fell over, and closed his eyes. The seed in his mind bloomed, but then its vines spread, and started to gray. They started dieing. Kira himself was dieing. "Lacus, wait for me?" he asked himself.
Images of flowers were also in his dreams. Mizu saw the Tiger Lily of Cagalli, the Rouge Samurai, the Emerald Lily of the Justice Samurai, Athrun. And the Lotus of Kira, the Strike Samurai. The boy also saw what happened in seed mode. Cagalli's eyes turned blank, and her pupils were small, and in the shape of a silhouetted flower. As were Athrun's and Kira's. Mizu felt strange, he then saw the girl Lacus, she was holding something near her heart. It was a black necklace, with a small rose hanging from it. It was shining. The boy saw that on her chest, there were lines seeming to be traced with colored light. They then darkened into the shape of an orchid with vines tracing close to her neck. Her eyes were blank, and her expression as blank as her eyes.
End Dream
Mizu opened his eyes widely, cold sweat on his brow. He looked down, and saw that the chrysanthemum tattoo was shining a bit. "Is this my power?" he asked quietly. He looked at Kira who was still sleeping. He mustered up all the courage he had and his hand moved towards Kira's shirt. He pulled it down and saw a Lotus etched into his skin, the purple of the petals, deep and dark like his eyes, had thin vines spreading away from it, looking for something? Kira's eyes opened slightly, and saw Mizu looking at him with a frightened expression. "Mizu, what is-" Kira stopped as he felt his shirt blow softly. He looked down and saw it. "The mark of the Hukari, this village, was Sakura Village, wasn't it?" Kira asked the boy who nodded slowly.
This is Sakura Village, the third Hukari village, but what about the Snowdrop Village? Kira asked himself as he placed a comforting hand on Mizu's shoulder. "Mizu, let me tell you a story, that happened five hundred years ago," said Kira, preparing to tell Mizu of the Origin of the Hukari, about the four villages, about their tattoos, and why they had them. "Mizu, five hundred years ago, in the Dark Era," began Kira, unaware that Lacus had awoken and was following his every word.
(2:14am. Forest outside of Sakura Village)
A man with red eyes watched the figures behind him become restless. "What is it now?" he asked boredly. One stood and walked over to him. "Sir, we swore to help you get the Lady Clyne back, but she is guarded by the Strike Samurai, he has killed countless numbers of Red Samurai, he could easily slay us." the guard said unhappily. "Yeah, well that's why I have a lot of you, he can't possibly get all of you, and if he does, I'll have to do it myself." The guard bowed reluctantly. "Yes, my lord." The red eyes man turned, his dark brown hair a little longer than bellow his ears, and sticking up in some places(Sort of like Shinn's). The lord lifted his sword and brought it down through the guard. "That is for thinking treasonous thoughts. And if anybody else wants to speak their mind, come and let me know." he said with a grin, his blood red eyes gleaming like blood. Lacus Clyne, you will be back in my arms soon, you better be waiting for me. he thought darkly, as he looked up at the dark moon. It was still a little dark since the full moon two days ago.
So, how do my wonderful, lovely, handsome, creative, smart, intellectually talented, reviewing, reviewers like this chapter? I know the story feels rushed with Kitsu and Mizu, but my friend wanted them in my story, so I said what the heck. Now, I'm not sure if I want to kill the kids, or let them live, so when you review, you better tell me. I joined this club, soundclicks or something, and well, I downloaded all the songs they had on Inuyasha and Gundam Seed, and I made a CD! HAHAHAHA! But then my mom took it away after I painted a tree in the back yard blue, cause I was supposed to be painting my little brother's tree house. I thought it looked cool, the tree painted blue I mean. I guess I'll have to make another one, oh well. Here's a shout out to Alexandra because she told me so and is my other bestest buddy in the whole wide world!
Peace Out My Homies!
