Chapter 5 The Dark Era

"Mizu, five hundred years ago, in the Dark Era, there were seven warriors known as the Hukari. They were a group of powerful Samurai. But two were special. The Lotus Samurai, for his superiority, and the Orchid Samurai for her gentleness. The seven of them wandered far and wide, they were also quite close, but the Lotus Samurai was always distant, but he was also doomed, as were the rest of them. But they lived and helped each other. They held many deaths on their hands, but they still were able to live as if nothing was happening.

But a dark force was growing within their living selves. Liorlia, the Orchid Samurai, had been seeing into the Lotus Samurai's heart. She had never seen his true feelings, except for his lust to kill, and his cold, lonely eyes. She wanted to open his soul, but he never would. The Tiger and Emerald Lily Samurai had been the closest to him, but never saw a small ember of feeling, they saw nothing. And the Chrysanthemum and Cherry Blossom Samurai were too young to understand. But the seventh knew perfectly well. The Samurai knew, that deep within them all, they were all doomed to the same fate, to pass, and never begin anew. The Lotus swordsman had never revealed his name to any of them, he had never wanted to establish any relationships, but that wasn't what the others wanted. They wouldn't accept anything like that.

They had been summoned to fight in the war that was breaking out, they had agreed to it, thinking it would be one of the many they still had to fight. But it would be their last. The Dark Era was one of the most terrible, horrific, time periods that you could imagine. Blood was seen commonly, and shed regularly. No one would ever be safe, things happened to others who never thought anything bad could happen to them. Waves of death washed over the land, but the Hukari faced it fearlessly.

Liorlia had magnificent healing powers, and when she healed someone, it would weaken her, because she gave a bit of her soul every time it was drastic, and in that Era, everything was. Mizutri, Kitri, Callgria, and Arath all took notice, but she wanted to do it. She wouldn't relent until the man took notice. She became weak, but worked hard. The battles became more serious, and healing took more out of her.

One night, when they were too weak to fight any longer, and could barely hold up their swords, something happened. Something inside of them, bloomed, and gave them strength. They all had differences though. Mizutri and Kitri's powers were more spiritual, and Callgria had become stronger, and Arath wiser. But Liorlia seemed to become a bit more distant, but knowingly. And the Lotus Samurai had exceeded upon all levels, he was like, a wave of power, not stopping, always filling. The seventh Samurai, seemed to be equal, but always sensing the desires of the others, and their fear of death.

They had been using their new abilities many times in their battles, but the after effect was powerful. They could become weak for many hours. One night, the final night of their lives, they had been fighting, and Mizutri and Kitri had been fighting hard, but they were failing, and the seed inside them bloomed. They bonded their powers and created a Spiritual Wave, dispatching many of the opposing forces. But it weakened them so much, that they fell to the ground to weak to do anything but stay together and breathe. Callgria had been using her seed from the start, and was getting tired of fighting the seemingly unending forces. She powered up her sword, and took one final sweep, causing a Power Calamity, knocking many soldiers around her down dead. But it was too much for her to handle, and she collapsed, her seed ailing. Arath ran to her side, and went into a similar seed mode, and he seemed to become one with his blade. He quickly cut down his enemies, and he felt tired, his seed had been too weak from the other battles. His took longer to regenerate because he used much more precision and was more accurate than the others. He collapsed by Callgria's side.

The only ones left were Liorlia, the seventh Samurai, and the Lotus Samurai. The seventh swordsman had been fighting valiantly with his comrades, but saw that a great power seemed to be pulling him to more drastic measures of man slaughter. It wasn't long before he realized, he had to be evil, and it was the only way to quench his thirst for despair. He sided with the other force, and was welcomed. Liorlia was fighting basically, for she was more of something else, not to fight with steel. She couldn't cut down large amounts like the others, but she fared. When she finished a squadron, she turned and saw her samurai fighting the Ruler of the Dark Emblem, a powerful force, able to control and destroy, and alter reality to fit the user's wishes. They were sent to destroy it, but the Ruler was about to cut the Lotus swordsman. "Amerian!" she shouted as she ran towards him. Amerian had widened his eyes at the mention of his name, and he nearly dropped his sword, also too dazed to realize the Dark Emblem sword coming straight at him. "Amerian, No! Uh-" she breathed as she took the blunt of the blow, totally breaking her from the back. "Liorlia," Amerian said as he realized what she had done. "Y-you saved me, why?" he stuttered. The woman had looked up at him, and simply smiled before trying to answer him. "Because I l-" but she never finished her words, for her flower, the orchid, died. Its frail petals shriveling and grayed. The leaves cracked and darkened. She could never tell the man her true feelings, and died when it was too late.

The Samurai had stood up, and raised his sword high, and brought it down into the man in front of him. He had fallen, but the Dark Emblem sword continued to glimmer its power. Amerian looked on, a glazed look covered his eyes. The others, except for the Seventh Samurai, found the strength to stand and walked towards the standing Samurai. They stood next to him, tears in their eyes. "Callgria, I love you." Arath whispered, looking at the Tiger Lily Samurai, with tears in his eyes. Knowing this would be the last time he would ever see her alive. They shared a kiss, and the group's flowers began glowing. They started to gray, and the leaves of the flowers darkened. The younger ones of the group, Kitri and Mizutri were the first to fall, holding each other's hands. Arath and Callgria stumbled, and the man hugged her tightly, before leaving. The blonde woman looked up to the man named Amerian. "It was an honor, to fight along side you, I hope. We can see, each other, again." she cracked out with tears running down her cheeks, (So are mine!) before death consumed her. Amerian had tears running down his face, he never could tell any of them how he felt, he had enjoyed their company, and though he was cold, they were still friends with him anyway. Why did it have to end this way. "I promise, it will end right." he said as he destroyed the Dark Emblem, and fell to his knees, the task complete, and the prophesies fulfilled.

The leaders of Japan came together to give the Samurai a proper burial. They saw it only fitting that Liorlia and Amerian be next to each other. And Callgria and Arath next to each other, and Kitri and Mizutri were next to each other. At the burial, the four leaders of the Samurai's home villages were there also to announce that the four villages will be known as Sakura Village for the brother and sister, Lily Village for the three first Samurai, Orchid Village for Liorlia, and Snowdrop Village for the final Samurai, though they didn't want to because he had turned on them. It was also to become tradition within the villages to pass down the flowers, and use them as prophesies. And to be shown across the upper chest bellow the neck, what flower they had. And of the first three villages, we are the only ones left."

The young boy looked up at Kira, a confused expression on his face. "Kira, does that mean I'm going to die?" asked the young child. Kira smiled. "You will, but not from this prophecy, you can trust me." Mizu smiled lightly. "Thank you for telling me, but what are your special abilities? Kitsu and I have spiritual powers, and Miss Lacus has healing powers, they just haven't kicked in I guess, but what are yours?" Kira had a goofy smile and he kind of had a distressed look upon his face. "Uh, well, a few things. Like reading minds, seeing into minds, reading dreams, sort of like you, but I can maintain it longer. And I have my enhanced fighting skills, and my ability to bloom my seed faster."

A thought raced through Mizu's head. "Hey, why haven't I gone into seed mode before?" Kira thought for a moment. "It may be because you're really quite young and never had a reason to. Lacus hasn't opened hers ever, so it may take an emergency. But don't worry about it; you should get back to sleep." And with that, the dark brown haired boy got up from his sitting position, and tip toed back to the pallets he and his sister were sleeping on.

Kira was going to fall asleep too, when he heard movement from the bed. "Kira?" he heard his name called by the gentle lull of the young woman's voice. "Yes, Lacus?" he answered back. "Tell me, how long will it take to get to Junius City?" Kira silently sighed from relief. "A few more days, if we don't have any more interruptions." he stifled a chuckle that was about to escape his throat. Lacus made a chuckled noise. "Kira, what do you plan to do, to carry out your prophesy?" she asked quietly. "I'm probably going to end the Red Samurai, then, I don't know." Lacus sat up and slid off the bed, and sat down next to Kira. "Well, I want to help you. I would rather be with you, than anyone else. You make me feel safe." A light blush had fallen over her cheeks. She didn't know why she just told him about her feelings towards him, and didn't like not knowing what he'd think. "Lacus, I feel powerful when I protect you, and, I enjoy your company as well. It would be nice to keep you and the others as I travel. And, I also think," a small blush had escaped onto his cheeks, and it became harder when he realized that he was blushing in the first place. But as Lacus looked up into his eyes, she heard a noise from outside, and watched as his eyes narrowed and became cold. "Lacus, wake up the kids and run out through the back. I'll deal with this over here." She nodded, and woke the kids up. "Mizu, Kitsu, wake up, we have to get going!" Mizu woke quickly, but Kitsu was tired and had to rub her eyes. Lacus picked her up in her right arm, and held Mizu's right hand in her left and ran outside. "C'mon, and be quiet!" she whispered.

The trio ran into the woods, and Lacus helped Mizu get under a large tree that had fallen over many nights ago. He and Kitsu could barely be seen unless you poked your head right in there. "Now don't come out unless it's me or Kira, got it?" she asked in a rushed whisper. She turned and was about to go back when she spotted a figure with a sword at his side coming towards her. "Kira?" she asked as she ran towards him. But she stopped and widened her eyes when she realized who it really was. "No, it-it can't be, you're" "Dead?" his chilling voice asked, a mock smile on his face. "Why Lacus, you don't look very happy to see me alive and well," he said coldly as he took another step near her. She was frozen to the spot. How can he be alive? He died the night of the burning, and so did Jean, she thought to herself as new tears fell from her eyes at the remembrance of her brother. "Hey what's with the tears? You don't need to cry. Especially since you'll be mine again." he said as she turned away from him and he grabbed her waist and right wrist. Lacus didn't know what to do. He was her fiancé, but he was supposed to be dead, so she was off the hook. It was a political engagement anyway, so did it really mean that much to him? Maybe it did, but what about Kira! I can't leave him, she screamed in her head. She began struggling against the man's grip on her, but he only tightened it. "Now, you listen to me. If you don't come with me willingly, I'll kill those kids over there! Got it?" he hissed into her ear. How could he, Lacus thought angrily in her head, before becoming still. "That's a good girl, now c'mon. I don't want your friend to catch up to us." he said, pulling her along with him. When she hesitated, he glared at her. "Don't get me angry Lacus," he sneered venomously.

Mizu gave up on waiting for Kira to come and save Lacus, so the young boy scrambled out of the hiding spot, and ran at the dark brown haired man. He fell to the ground, and quickly pushed Mizu off of him. "Ugh, you little brat! I'm going to put you out of your misery!" The man raised his sword, and deaf to Lacus's cries, brought it across the chest of the boy. "Mizu!" shouted two feminine voices of his sister, and the girl.

(Few minutes earlier)

Kira stood and ran out the doorway, Tori perched on his shoulder. He raised the Strike, and brought it down on a man clad in a green samurai outfit. He fell to the ground, and Kira began running down the hall, exterminating any soldiers in his path. As he neared the exit, he found five soldiers standing uneasily in front of it. "Let me pass, and I wont kill you." he said in a chilling voice that reminded them of their Lord. "Take him down!" shouted a soldier. Kira quickly cut him through, and started hacking away at the others. Tori had flown off to try and find the others. When she found them with the Lord, she chirped excitedly, and flew back a few meters to where Kira was now coming from. She perched on his shoulder and told him what she had seen. "Lacus," he said quietly as he raced to the scene in time to see the Lord's sword cut through the eleven year old boy's flesh. "Mizu!" cried two feminine voices of the boy's sister and Lacus.

(Present)

Lacus starred at Mizu on the forest floor, clutching his deep wound and breathing heavily and wide eyed. He fell over onto his side and his breathing stopped. Lacus saw with her mind's eye a small light blue seed crack and shake until it finally opened, and bloomed into an orchid. The petals were light blue and purple and the stamens were dark blue. Her eyes became blank, and her pupil in the shape of a silhouetted orchid. She fell to her knees in front of the boy and her hands went to his wound. They glowed light blue, then spread to the youth's chest wound, also making it glow a paranormal blue light. It then faded, and Mizu's breathing began starting up again. Lacus's eyes returned to normal, and she looked up at the Lord with deep anger. "Wench!" he shouted whiling pulling her up off the ground towards him by her wrist. "How dare you look at me like that!" he shouted as he was about to hit her. Kira's cold voice broke the silence. "Don't. You. Dare. Talk. To. Her. Like. That." he said dangerously. "And what're you gonna do about it? Huh? She's my fiancée if you must know, so that makes her mine!" Lacus looked at Kira sadly, then turned to the Lord. "I am no longer yours, Darien."

Sooooooo…How'd you like it? Now, for anyone who has ever watched Sailor Moon and feels greatly offended by the Lord's name, please reassure yourselves that I wouldn't do that to him.
