Sephiroth P.O.V
The moon had reached full perigee. It was almost time. All I needed was for vincent to place the spell upon my daughter.
Vincent...do you hear me?
Vincent P.O.V
I crept silently down the corridor, staying near the shadows so not to stir anyone from their slumber. I followed them that whole day. I was thankful they finally found a empty house to rest at. If they had camped out, on the other hand, sephiroth's plan would've been all for naught.
It was a silent night. Too silent for my taste. Still, the quicker I complete Sephiroth's frivilous task, the better.
I had been watching Her for quite some time now. In my dimension, she was legendary. I've often seen pictures of her growing up. My sensei said it was my duty to fight along side her. Kimiko...She was truly a sensuous women. Mainly what attracted me to her were her eyes. They were so deep and mysterious like thewater she commands. Such power...someone so beautiful but just a deadly as any man. I liked that. Her subordinates claim to know her and yet she always manages to surprise them.
I approached her room. The door was standing ajar. When I peeked inside, she was sound sleep. Inch by inch I stepped across the hardwood floor. Kimiko wore a silk nightgown that hugged aound her every curve. I had to stop fora minute and savor that moment, until...the next time we meet. I knelt beside the bed, coming face to face with her. She was even more alluring in her sleep.
That's when I heard it.The door creaked open...
Bankotsu P.O.V
I know it's probably nothing but I felt like Kimi was in danger somehow. I stuck my head into the doorway. She was sprawled out over the blankets to her bed. I guess I was worried about nothing but...Why did I feel like someone else besides me was in here?
I walked into the room and surveyed the entire area. I saw nothing but I couldn't rid myself of this feeling.
"kotsu.."
My heart jumped. I slowly turned around. If Kimi caught me in here, she'd freak. Thank god she was still sleeping.(sigh)
"Ban...Bankotsu..."She giggled into a dreamy sigh.
Ahh...so she's dreaming about me. I wonder what it was...maybe it was a sex dream?I shook my head to get rid of the already forming fantasy visual.
She's okay. I'd better let her sleep before I wake her up and...some stuff gets started.
"I guess I sleep alone tonight." I scratched my head and left the room just as it was.
Vincent P.O.V
I waited until I heard the sound of him going back into his room. I jumped down from the ceiling, landing quietly on my feet. I honestly don't know what she see's in this guy. She can do so much better than him.
I assumed the position I had before I was interupted. I sat next to her bedside. My face was so close to hers, we shared the same breath.
Vincent...do you hear me?
'yeah, I hear you loud and clear.'
What's going on?
'I ran into a delay but It's taken care of.'
Good. We can't have any unexpected surprises tonight. The moon Is almost at it's highest point. Preform the spell.
I really preferred not to do this but...I reall had no say in the matter.
I pointed my metal finger at her chest.My finger traveled across her breast, a stream of blood trailing behind it.
"Basium"
I kissed the blood away."Child Born of evil's Fire. Darkness spread."
A dark, sinister colored aura completely enveloped her body. He eyes opened slowly. I kissed her lips, not hesitating to let my tongue delve down into her mouth. The mark of the Exodius burned into her forehead as the symbols for Ruin and death streaked down over her arms and legs.
I pulled back from her,"Break the circle. Destroy the bind."
Her eye teeth lengthened. Black lined her eyes.
"Call him..."I whispered to her. She tightened her eyes, writhing her body like she was in pain." Call him!"
"Bankotsu!" she whispered loudly.
Sephiroth P.O.V
I watched the mortal sleep. He tossed and turned as if he were in a nightmare. Whispering her name time and time again,"Kimiko..."
I felt a tinge of amusement shoot through my body. It was like Narcotic to me. It was time to break the bind that holds him.
"Surgite..."my hand hovered above him, "Go to her. Hear her call for you...Make her scream for you! Feel the desire rising in your body..."
"No..." He tossed, his body jerking violently."I'll hurt her...can't control...no!" he murmured.
"YES!" I snarled, "Take her now! You are Bakajikara!"
Bankotsu dug his nails into his chest and tore his hands down his flesh.The Crimson liquid trickled from his handsto his arms;trailed over his abs down to his legs.The blood pooling intoblack symbols all over his body; the symbolsfor his Father. The mark of the Letum shining brightly into the darkened night.
"Don't fight it!" I sneered,excitement rising in my voice, "Let it become you. Let it consume you! Succumb to IT!"
Bankotsu gasped out in agony.His jet black hair unraveled from the braid, the color onyx streaked through his tresses. He was transforming...good. Just in time. The moon was almost a perigee.
I must depart if I wish for this plan to succeed."Farewell boy. We shall meet again."
Bankotsu P.O.V
I bolted up. My body broke in in a cold sweat. Oh god...my head was killing me. Why do I feel like this? My body is burning all over. I can feel so much fire, but what was so weird was that...I liked it. I'm...incomplete...I'm missiing something...I-
Bankotsu...
That voice...Kimiko's calling me.
Bakajikara...
What did she just call me? Bakaji-wait...Bakajikara was my-Ow(I cuffed my hand to my forhead, a searing pain jolted through my body.) God..this is killing me. I feel like I might die.
I keeled over my bed, hanging halfway off the matress."What...is," I said between breathes, "is..."I breathed, " Going...on?"
-AAAAH! BANKOTSU!-
Kimiko! She's screaming but...why isn't anyone else going to see what's wrong with her? Why won't they help her!
BAKAJIKARA!
Why does she keep calling me that? My name is Bankotsu. I am leader of the shichinintai.Right? Deep inside my mind I kept hearing a voice...a voice that said I was wrong.
Stupid, you don't know what you are
That was a lie. I know exactly who I am. I was born in Ryukyu. My mother was human where as my father was...
You don't even know. All you know is his name. Bakajikara means Bankotsu. His name is the same as yours
SHUT UP! Am I going crazy or what?
"Bankotsu..."Kimiko said weakly"I need you...it hurts..."
DAMMIT! WHERE IS RENKOTSU? AND SUIKOTSU, JAKI, MUKOTSU! Ginkotsu's room is right next to hers along with Kyokotsu! Why isn't anyone trying to save her!
You idiot! She wants you! No one else. Why are you hesitant? Are you scared you're not want she REALLY wants. That deep down, she doesn't like you at all?
No, I love her..
No you don't. How can love her when no one ever loved you. Your mother even despised you.You killed her you know. If you hadn't been born, she might still be alive. Everyone despises you. Even your comrades. It's clear they don't trust you enough to even obey your decisions.
"SHUT UP!" my voice echoed through-out the room. Damn, damn, damn, damn! I crawled out of the bed and onto the floor. I have to go to her. I have to save her."Kimi...I'm coming...just hold on a little bit longer."
-meanwhile-
Sephiroth P.O.V
"This is perfect. It's taking him a little longer than I expected,I admit it." I cast a glance at vincent. He had been in a rather somber mood since I had torn him away from my daughter,"Be calm," I told him, " She is not your women yet."
"How do you even know this plan will work?" he asked me, " She casts the spell and then what happens? There's no way Bakajikara's son can handle so much power surging through him. He'll burn to a cinder."
I laughed at him. He is so naive. Did he really think that I didn't know what I was doing? I know every possibility. I know every consequence. I know what to avoid."Naivette doesn't look good on you vincent. I am not a novice. I know EXACTLY what I am doing, for I do this all the time. When I had attacked Bakajikara's son, I infused him with Jenova cells. If he wasn't strong enough to handle the Jenova cells, his body would have burned out in a instant."
"YOU DID WHAAAT! What is wrong with you! You can't inject him with Jenova cells. Even if he didn't burn out the moment they infused with him, he'll die eventually if they remain inside his bloodstream like they are."
" Don't you think I know that! That's why It is up to my daughter to stablize the Jenova cells. Once she sires him, he'll have the power of the exodius flowing through his vains."
"SIRE!" Leviathan hissed, coughing up foul liquid and yellow bile," Ma-master, please tell me you're kidding-"
"I never kid."
Leviathan coughed,"B-b-b-but...that would mean that he will we be able to achieve the highest level of the Exodius."
"Yes...and no. It will be the exodius but his own form of it. The exodius that is imbued in My child is far stronger that his will ever be."
" Fine."Vincent said coldly," I will bear no part in it."
I watched as vincent turned on his heels and stalked out of the room. It didn't matter to me. He plays a vital part in all of this whether he wants to or not. Now All I need do is wait.
"Master...w-what...about the others...their comrades..."Leviathan hissed.
"I put up a sound-proff barrier. Whatever happens in there, stays in there."
-meanwhile-
Bankotsu P.O.V
I made my way down the dimly lit hallway. Being cautious not to wake up the others. Part of me was still mad that they hadn't came to help her.
Or maybe I was right...she wanted me. For what? I stood in front of her door...she called my name again and again. I felt so heated.
I placed my hand on the handle of the door, " Kimiko?" I said softly as I twisted the handle and entered the room, " Kimi, I heard you-"
Kimiko sat on the lead window-pane, gazing up into the starry night. She didn't move from that spot. At first I wasn't sure she heard me. without realizing what I was doing, I locked the door," Kimi?"
"I heard you." she whispered.
Words can't describe what I was feeling when she said my name. Her voice was different. More mature...just like her newly found body. There was something different about her. Something that couldn't be seen.
The air in the room thickened. Kimi slowly turned to face me. Her lightly toned skin glowing in the moonlight. She looked...normal. Still...I knew this wasn't the same women I had grown to love.
My feet started to move own their own. She drifted over to me. Before I knew it we were close. Too close. I could feel the dark energy radiating off of her body. It was toxic.
Kimi P.OV
I pressed my leg tightly between his as he held me in his arms, pinning me closely to his body. "Bankotsu..." I ran my finger along his neck, following a vein going down his spine. His breathing picked up along with his pulse. Fire burning deep in his eyes. " No..." I moaned a small whisperin his ear,"Bakajikara."
Bankotsu P.O.V
I felt throbbing in my lower part. My herat pounded so fast I thought I was going to pass out. What was happening to me? She bit her lip and giggled a little. Like this was all a game to her. I wanted to leave...but there was a part of me that would'nt be denied. That same part that had wanted her before...that had wanted to hurt her. I felt myself breaking away...Suddenly nothing else mattered to me anymore...All I wanted to do was take her and make her mine. And only mine.
Sephiroth P.O.V
Bankotsu's fangs slid from their sheaths. His eyes burned a scarlet red. What was left of his humanity was shredded. Just as the prophecy predicted. It is Time!
"TAKE HIM! DO IT NOW!"
Kimi P.O.V
My father's voice echoed inside my mind. Before I could even register the words, "Take him" I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Bankotsu Had sunk his fangs deep into my skin. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Power welled up inside me. I plunged my nails into Bankotsu's back. I felt him shiver in pain but he didn't let up.
Sephiroth P.O.V
They're transforming. This was too perfect.
The symbol on Bankotsu's chest that once bound his powers shattered. The Mark of the Exodius(II) faded and started anew. Bending and twisting until it formed the thrice(triquirta)sign. Level two of the Exodius: Dark Renewal.
"Yes...this was all too perfect." I howled with laughter.
It wasn't enough for me. I needed more."I say we make this more interesting." I snapped my fingers...
Jakotsu P.O.V
I awoke with a start."What the..." I yawned. " Dammit. Why did I have to wake up. I was having such a good dream about me and Aniki."
-meanwhile-
Kimi P.O.V
Dark angel wings sprouted from my back and Bankotsu pulled away. My wounds and his healed in an instant. My mind had stopped functioning right. Everything that just happened didn't make sense. And I was starting to panic.
Then a sharp pain seared across my chest. MY heart felt like it might explode. I clutched my hands to my chest.
"Ahh!" I cried out in pain. Why was this happening to me!
Sephitroth P.O.V
Vincent stormed into the room," ARE YOU CRAZY!" Despite what he said, He knew exactly what had been happening between my daughter and her lover. I could tell by the frenzied look in his eye.
"No, I am not Crazy." I told him calmly.
" Do you realize what you've done! Now she'll die!"
" You're forgetting who it is you're speaking to! Despite his new transformation, Bankotsu will not let her die."
"What're-"
"Just watch. Listen." I ran my hand over the mirror of senescence. The haze cleared away as my daughter and Bankotsu came into focus. Vincent stared hastily into the mirror, almost like he'd jump into it if he had the chance.
Bankotsu's thick, onyx hair tumbled down his back, covering the symbol for 'Annihilation' on his back. The symbol for his father. My daughter clawed into a corner, trying to get a handle on what was happening to her...
Kimiko P.O.V
I slipped onto the ground. What had I done? Was I going to die? No...I can't. Not here. Not now! I-
Suddenly a figure overshadowed me. I whipped around and Bankotsu stood over me. HE was frightening, but beautiful. Fear consumed my face. This wasn't my Bankotsu. He glared at me,the flame of his desire rising in his eyes.
He walks towards. Growing larger and larger as I shrink back into the corner. I was trapped. All this did wasfan the flame of Bankotsu's desire. Then he did something unexpected.
Bankotsu knelt down beside me, scooping me into his arms. My heart pounded, my breathing, shallow. I thought I was afraid, but I wasn't. He held me tightly, yet gently as he carried me over to my bed.
My wings spread out across the blankets as I felt the futon beneath me. A cool sweat trickled down my neck and over my breast. Bankotsu eased his body onto mine, kissing the hollow at my neck. My arms tied around his waist, roaming up to his shoulders.
Our eyes met. His were soft, just like mine.
"Bankotsu-"
He cut me off with a kiss. " You ache. Let me cure your pain..."
-meanwhile-
Jaki P.O.V
I tip-toed down the hallway,past ginkotsu's room. I couldn't believe Aniki wasn't in his room! Where could he...?
The door at the end of the hall opened a bit, standing ajar as a sliver of dark blue light shot out into the corridor. I know I should probably check on Kimiko. We may not get along but hell...we're still comrades.
I hurried(quietly) down the hall and peeked into the bedroom.
"Wha..." I spotted a mane of thick onyx hair. A tan hand reached up and pushed it Back and I saw "Aniki?" What had happened? He was so different. Had he transformed into a demon again?
More importantly, why was he in Kimi-chan's room?
That's when my heart shattered. Kimiko lay underneath him, one of her hands tangled in his tresses. Bankotsu's lips pressing against hers, over and over again...
Kimiko's nails clenched the blanket that covered them...
He's kissing her! Then...and They're sharing a bed? Then..that must mean...they're having...And he...and she...
Oh god. I felt sick. I broke away from the door and bolted down the hallway, tears bursting from my eyes. I tried to stop crying but I couldn't! It wasn't fair! I've known him longer! I was his friend first! I was the one! me!
I slammed the door behind me as I lunged onto my bed, sobbing into my pillow. I couldn't believe he'd do this to me! After all we've been through!
I thought he loved me...
