Blue Eyes and Red Pools

Thank you again to RavenTay who noticed that Kaibutsu was missing!

He returns in…

Um…

Glory?

But now we get vicious.

Demons are our friends

In the East Wing

Ikari rises

And all is black and cruel is fair

This is an emergency

Don't you hide your eyes from me

(Actually…the song will be Isobel by Dido)

so there.

Normally, Ikari's voice is in italics, but they will be bold as well for this chapter.

(loving you more…)

Blue Eyes and Red Pools

Storm of Red

Thought it was funny when you missed the train

Morning hit with a different air. Storm clouds hung overhead and thunder rumbled in the distance. Ikari was alert, keeping all senses wary. She hadn't seen the behemoth in a few days, meaning he had probably been sent to the town for some other spell book or torture object. This didn't bode well for the sleeping Hylian leaning against her soft white chest.

Hearing footsteps, Ikari nuzzled Link, waking him. He stood up on shaky legs, holding onto the wall for support. Koroshi stormed into the room, grabbed the chain on Link's collar and dragged him from the room. Ikari jumped at them, but Kaibutsu, the great behemoth he was, stopped her. The door closed and they circled each other.

When I rang you at home they said you left yesterday

I knew we would fight someday…and I'm ready for you.

Kaibutsu grunted in agreement. Ikari's ice eyes darkened. Thunder rolled closer, and lighting danced in the distance. Then, they jumped at each other.

I thought it was strange when your car was found

By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around

Link's muzzle was removed and he was thrown into a small, dark room.

"Sit down and don't move." Koroshi said coldly, slamming the door and locking it.

Lightning flashed, lighting the room. Link now had reason to be afraid and nervous and tense. The light had showed him a room full of various torture instruments, everything from knives to Iron Maidens. Thunder roared, the storm now nearly on top of them. Link stood up, he wasn't going to take this. He was going to fight.

Dear Isobel I hope you're well

Ikari sank her teeth into the shoulder of the monstrosity. It howled in pain and grabbed at the great white wings that were beating at his head. Ikari quickly folded her wings at her side and dug her claws into Kaibutsu's chest. Blood flew everywhere. Ikari released and jumped back, red covering her white muzzle. She shifted her weight from her left hind leg, keeping it off the floor.

And what you've done is right

The one lucky shot had crushed the bones in that ankle. She spread her great wings and jumped at the behemoth again.

Oh it's been such hell

I wish you well

Koroshi burst into the room, her eyes glaring daggers at Link, who was not backing down. She reeled back to slap him, but Link blocked her hit. This was a different game.

I hope you're safe tonight

"Bad dogs must be punished." She hissed.

It's been a long day coming and long will it last

When it's last day leaving

"I'm not your dog."

I'm helping it pass by loving you more

Koroshi didn't see Link's foot until it connected with her head. She staggered, and Link readied himself for her reaction. She rose, eyes blazing with hatred. She picked a long, black whip from its place on a rack and turned back to Link. Link tensed.

And who he would become, all the things you've done

Ikari screeched as bones in her entire left hind leg were crushed. She jumped straight for the throat. Her teeth made it there, but Kaibutsu grabbed both of her beautiful wings and pulled. Ikari clamped down harder, and Kaibutsu pulled harder. She felt things pop in her wings, and shut her eyes and bit harder.

Would he have loved you, and not let you down

There was a horrific sound as Ikari's wings were ripped from her body. Ikari bit harder and her claws racked at the giant. His breath left him and he toppled, falling dead. Ikari's wings were released. The white rayith hopped off the corpse and stood on uncertain legs. She turned her head to clean her wounds as thunder roared and lighting flashed angrily.

And would he be stronger than his father

The whip came snaking towards the hero, who raised his arm as a decoy. The whip curled around his wrist and Koroshi pulled. Link stood firm, ocean eyes never leaving Koroshi. She growled and jerked the whip back with a hidden strength. Link stumbled, and the witch moved in that moment.

Dear Isobel I hope you're well

The whip released Link's arm and Koroshi snaked it around his neck. She dragged him over to a bloody cross and shackled him to the wood. The whip returned to her and she raised it high above her head.

"Who is your master?" She asked.

"No one." Link hissed, knowing what would happen once he said that.

And what you've done is right

A stinging pain ripped through his torso. Link bit his lower lip to keep from crying out. Koroshi asked him again, and Link answered the same. This form of punishment continued until Link's lip was pouring blood and he couldn't speak. His tunic was torn and blood seeped from minor wounds.

Oh it's been such hell
I wish you well I hope your safe tonight

Thunder roared.

Koroshi released Link, letting him drop to the floor. She bent down and grabbed a handful of his blonde hair. She pulled him to his feet and dragged him back to Ikari's room.

It's been a long day coming and long will it last

They both were shocked at the great corpse of Kaibutsu and the bloody and broken wings. Koroshi quickly incinerated the corpse and the wings, and her whip came lashing at Ikari. Ikari stood tall and fought back, jumping at Koroshi so suddenly that she released Link.

When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass by loving you more

Ikari stood protectively over Link before gently taking the collar of his white shirt and tunic, dragging him into the room before Koroshi closed and locked the door.

It was raining.

It was then that Ikari collapsed in exhaustion. She and Link slept side by side, their wounds healing slowly.

It's been a long day coming and long will it last

They would take tomorrow when it came.

When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass by loving, loving you more
