DISCLAIMER: Stop bothering me. You know I only have a penny worth of
furniture in my house. Why the hell would I have a million dollars worth of
series to own?
Althe: I have a lot of homework people. Don't expect me to update every single week. It may take even a month.
Thanks for pointing out my mistakes. But I won't be editing any of this until I finish the whole story, k? I'll make sure the next chapters are good though!
Other than that, enjoy and review! ^^
:::Ayashi No Ceres Entering the World of Angels and Hell:::
9. Stop Running Away
*****
-It's her, Nuriko thought to himself. It's her!
But as Nuriko came to a stop where the two girls were, they were already gone.
Nuriko formed a fist with his right hand.
"Damn."-
Aya rushed after Ceres as she walked away hurriedly.
"Wait up!" she called as she pushed through the thick crowd of shoppers.
"Hurry up then!" Ceres replied briskly as she looked back at Aya.
Aya nearly tripped over a young toddler as she rushed past a merchandise cart.
"Gomen!" she said and hurried off to Ceres.
Aya paused for a second as she heard screams behind her. She turned around and stared for a moment at the blinding crowd. Who was calling?
"What are you doing?" Ceres shouted as she turned around and grabbed Aya's wrist. "We have to go!"
With that, Ceres half dragged and half lead Aya away from the storming crowds and shops.
-----
"Nuriko!" Tamahome gasped as he stopped right next to his companion.
"Did you see her?" Chichiri asked as he looked around his surroundings.
Nuriko stood there breathing deeply as the rest of the gang came hurrying towards them. As they all looked at him, he shook his head.
"Damn," Tasuki cursed.
An irritated smile appeared on his face. This was harder than he thought.
"Screw this you guys. Let's just go before more trouble stirs up."
Miaka tilted her head a bit.
"But she won't be able to get back to her own world without our help."
"So? She'll be able to figure it out herself."
"But what if that was me Tasuki!"
Tasuki stood there silently for a moment, thinking. He finally sighed and said roughly, "Dammit. Have it your way."
Miaka smiled.
Hotohori frowned.
"Which way did they go?"
Nuriko smiled at him wearily.
"That's the problem."
Tasuki quirked up his eyebrow.
"Problem?"
Nuriko looked up at the crowd.
"I don't know."
Chiriko sighed.
"Come on, we might catch up to them if we head off now."
-----
Aya and Ceres stopped outside of town where the meadows were. Aya stared at the place in awe as Ceres sat down under a big oak tree.
"This place brings back old memories," Ceres sighed as she looked around with her gleaming eyes.
Aya looked at her curiously.
"You've been here before?"
"Many times, but that was years ago."
"Who are you?"
Ceres smiled.
"What are you?" Aya asked as she walked up to her and sat next to her.
"I am you."
"Are you a Tennyo?"
"You could say that."
"But those are just fairytales."
Ceres said nothing. She just looked longingly faraway at something Aya couldn't see.
"....They are fairytales....aren't they?"
Aya continued to watch Ceres. Finally, they both stared into each other's eyes.
After a moment, Aya blinked. Ceres looked away and laughed.
"What are fairytales Aya? Are they really just made up?"
Aya stared at Ceres, not knowing what to say. Ceres got up and walked around in long circles. Aya followed her every graceful move.
"Long ago I was recarnated into a young girl's body that soon entered this world before she turned sixteen. She became a miko and journeyed off with her seven companions. When her birthday soon came, she was in a temple that sensed another being in her body. They released me and I destroyed the whole temple. She continued her journey and when it soon ended, she was devoured because of the hatred and evil corrupting her soul because of me."
"Why am I here?" Aya asked her in an almost desperate voice. "Why?"
"I originally wanted to take you back to the past when Mikage was still alive, but..."
"But?"
"But I guess I wanted to see this place one more time. I'm not sure myself why we're here, but all I know is that I wasted all my magic trying to get here so you won't be getting home soon. Stick with those friends of yours. They'll help you."
Ceres walked towards Aya and faced her.
"Be careful."
And with that, she placed her lips on Aya's and gently faded away. Aya felt Ceres's warmth enter her body.
Aya sighed.
"What do you mean Ceres?" Aya asked softly, knowing that she wouldn't answer her. "What do you mean?"
"Oi!"
Aya jumped at the voice.
She turned around and found eight people running towards her.
"There you are!" a purple haired boy said tiredly.
An orange haired boy chuckled a little and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Just DON'T run away again, OK?"
Aya nodded blankly.
Who were these people?
She spotted the cute boy she had met early and blinked. He winked at her.
"You're coming with us now," he said cheerfully.
"Huh?"
The orange haired boy nodded.
"Don't want you getting lost again now do we?"
Aya blushed and shook her head.
"Atta girl. Now let's go. We've wasted enough time here."
The others nodded. Chichiri smiled at Aya.
"I don't think we've introduced each other yet."
Aya nodded. She wasn't in a speaking mode at the moment. Her mind was still whirling in confusion.
"I'm Chichiri."
"Nuriko."
"Mitsukake."
"Chiriko."
"Hotohori."
Tamahome winked at Aya again.
"I'm Tamahome."
"Tasuki."
Miaka went up to Aya.
"Hi! I'm Miaka! Which part of Japan do you live in?"
Aya blinked.
"T-Tokyo."
"Really??? Me too!"
Aya stared at the girl. Miaka's smile widened.
"Don't worry. We'll get you home."
And with that, Miaka grabbed Aya's hand and they ran across the meadows to their next destination.
