Chapter III: Sorceress Suzaku PT.I
It was a sunset after noon as always in the Farplane, time always stood still in this gorgeous place of wonder and imagination. The pyroflies danced in the air as the beautiful flowers flowed from side to side with the wind. Sitting in the middle of the flowers watching the Pyroflies perform their ritual like dance was a young black mage. She sat watching them smiling and laughing as they tinkled her, flying around and rubbing against her face cuddling. All of a sudden all of them drew in on her at once, flying up to her making a sort of dome of light around her. She could feel the warmth of the pyroflies as they vibrated around her then all at once they all broke off and flew into the sky as if fleeing from something.
" Huh?" The blackmage muttered shocked when she saw the sky turn from sunset golden to dark and cloudy. The flowers died off and withered away, as the soul cracked up and harden. In less than 30seconds the Farplane went from looking beautiful and heavenly to discord and traitorous. In the black sky a giant bloodshot demonic eyeball appeared.
" Kuro" A voice said softly. Responding the blackmage shot her head around seeing a woman dressed in a crimson red dress with a black feathery collar, pale skin with black symbols encrypted on her face and arms. She had pitch black eyes with yellow pupils, long silver hair with red and black horns sticking out of her head and black angel like wings.
" Kuro" The woman said again taking a step forward. " I am Ultimecia"
The blackmage stepped back a fireball of magic basic Fire spell formed in her palm.
" Take another step and I'll blow your brains out" She said holding up her palm as the fire spell gained form.
" You cannot hurt me" Ultimecia said.
" Oh yea? Well we'll just have to see about that won't we?" Kuro said shooting the fireball at Ultimecia. The fireball splattered onto an invisible barrier disappearing instantly.
" Hmhmhm told you" Ultimecia smirked.
" Whatever lucky save big deal" Kuro said she slapped her hands together. (Author's note: Much like Edward off of FMA) then formed a fireball in between her palms. She held the fireball over her head and the ball grew ten times in size. " Let's see how you dodge this! LVL.3 MAGIC FIRAGA!" The fireball was about as big as a blimp.
" Yawn" Ultimecia cooed.
" ERR! TAKE THIS!" Kuro slam tossed the huge fireball over hand, it flew towards Ultimecia trailing along the ground and spinning like a pinball. The fireball struck Ultimecia resulting in a huge Firaga explosion.
" Phew that got her" Kuro said wiping her forehead of sweat. When the smoke cleared Ultimecia was standing there applauding.
" Kuro impressive but if that's the best you can do…" Ultimecia phased out and appeared behind Kuro. Her breasts rubbed against Kuro's back. Kuro jumped forward from her unseen speed and dodged rolled to the side. "Then you'd better give it up"
"What do you want with me!" Kuro asked in frustration.
" Your soul" Ultimecia said. " Give me your soul in exchange for all of the riches in the world"
" Sorry but my soul's not for sale" Kuro shouted holding her right and left hands up in unisons. Behind Kuro a tidal wave appeared. Ultimecia was engulfed by the tidal wave and when the wave subsided, as you've probably guessed she was still standing.
" What are you?" Kuro asked.
" I am a sorceress" Ultimecia replied with anger. " I am a thousand times stronger than any magic user" Ultimecia stepped towards Kuro phased out and reappeared right infront of her. " Kuro all you have to do is find the keyhole, that's all" Ultimecia said rubbing her cheek against Kuro's. Kuro jumped back.
" I won't do it! I won't do your dirty work you b$h" Kuro said starting to perform seals with her fingers. " I summon you… Su…" Before Kuro could finish her summoned spell she was blasted back by a dark energy blast. Kuro went flying backwards and landed on the ground… She laid motionless on the ground as if dead.
Ultimecia appeared next to her, she kneeled down beside the young blackmage and the sorceress wrapped her palm around the magic user's neck tightly strangling her.
" Listen to me you little… You will open that keyhole for me and you WILL set me free" Ultimecia said.
" Errr NO!" Kuro protested as tears formed in her eyes.
" And when I'm free… we will be one Kuro" Ultimecia said. With her free hand Ultimecia dug her left hand into Kuro's chest. Like a ghost Ultimecia's hand went straight in, dark energy began to pour into Kuro's chest as she struggled trying to break Ultimecia's grip.
"NOOOOOOO! STOPPP!" Kuro screamed. " NOOOOO!"
" Kuro! Kuro wake up Kuro!" A familiar voice called.
Kuro shot her eyes open to see Kiako at her bedside. She looked around frantically as sweat rushed down her face.
"Where…Where is she!" She asked.
" What? Where's who?" Kiako asked.
" ULTIMECIA!" Kuro said rubbing her forehead. " Was it a dream?"
" Kuro are you okay?" She asked. " You look alittle…paranoid"
Kiako ran and dove hitting the deck avoiding not to get knocked out. But amazingly Kuro didn't reply with a punch, a kick, a karate throw or anything like that. Kuro did look pretty bad she had bags under her eyes and her face had a very light shade of blue.
" Kuro? Seriously are you okay?" Kiako said curling up at the end of her bed with a worried look on her face. Kuro slowly turned her head towards Kiako and met her eyes.
" I'm fine" Kuro said.
" Hmm are you sure?" Kiako asked again just to be sure.
" Yes" Kuro replied.
" Well come on then we have to get to class" Kiako said springing off of her bed and running out of Kuro's room full of energy.
Kuro sat in bed for about 2whole minutes before moving an inch, she stepped out of bed rubbing her eyes. She walked up to the mirror that was on the back of her closet door. She wore a white tank top and some baby blue pajama pants. Kuro's eyes squinted as she felt a nudge of pain on her neck, she felt her neck feeling a print ring around her neck. She lifted her head and looked in the mirror seeing a red print around her neck where Ultimecia had strangled her, as she viewed her neck she noticed her chest felt alittle rough. She reached under her shirt and felt her chest. She took off her shirt to see a huge black star on her chest with a black crescent moon in the middle.
" No… this-this… that was a…a…dream" Kuro said stepping back while holding her aching head. She stared at her bewildered reflection. When she took a second look there was a different Kuro in the mirror this time. She had ghost like pale skin, pitch black eyes with red pupils, black symbols on her face, a crimson red dress with black feathery collar, two red wings poking out of her back, and had long silver hair with two small flaming horns poking out of her head.
" Wha…"
Meanwhile on the way to Kuro's room
Avalon walked down the hallways with his black cape flowing and his millennium rod strapped tight to his belt.
" Hi Avalon" Kiako said as she was on her way to elevator.
" Oh hi Kiako…hey has Kuro went to class yet?" Avalon asked.
" No she's still in the dorm getting ready" Kiako said.
" Alright I can still walk her" Avalon took off running for the dorms. Avalon runs so fast when he runs past Fira and Rikku the both of them switch cloths.
" This is wrong in a lot of ways" Fira said looking down at what he was wearing.
Back at Kuro and Kiako's room.
Avalon fixed his hair and checked his breath as he stood infront of the door. He knocked three times and 5seconds after the third knock the door opened. Standing at the door was Kuro she wore her usual clothing with an extra accessory of bandages around her neck.
" Kuro I was uh sorta wondering if maybe….we…could…walk…together?" Avalon said blushing while rubbing the back of his head. Kuro walked right past him as if she didn't seem him at all. Avalon stood frozen having been shot down.
Avalon ran up beside her and placed his hand on Kuro's shoulder.
" Kuro is there…" Avalon paused right there letting go of her shoulder and letting Kuro walk. ' her body it's…cold' Avalon thought. Ignoring and losing Avalon, Kuro walked into the elevator and pressed the F2 button. As the elevator took Kuro up, she felt a pain in her chest a very sudden and out of nowhere pain. Kuro dropped down to her knees while keeping her hand against a wall in the elevator. She opened her mouth vomiting up a large amount of blood it was amazing she was still conscious. But after afew seconds she lost it, she dropped down in a pool of her blood knocked out. When the elevator door opened blood rushed out of the elevator and onto Sesshoumaru's shoes.
" What's this?" Sesshoumaru said leaning down. " The tenseiga isn't responding she isn't dead not yet anyway" Sesshoumaru gathered Kuro up and pressed the F1 button to go back down. The bus road back down then Sesshoumaru with lightening demonic speed rushed Kuro to the Infirmary.
" Whoa Sesshoumaru? Kuro? What happened" Ms.Kadawaki Balamb's physician asked.
" No time for talk help her" Sesshoumaru said walking her to a bed and placing her down on the bed.
" I'll see what I can do" Ms.Kadawaki said putting on some rubber gloves.
In class waiting for the bell to ring" Kuro…what's wrong with you?" Avalon asked looking at his palm as he sat down at his port terminal. Fira walked into the class all of a sudden.
" Hey did you guys see the elevator it's filled with some red stuff that made me queasy coming up here" Fira said.
"Red stuff?" Kiako asked.
" Yea it's all on the floor in the elevator" Fira said.
With that Avalon, Sephiroth, Fira, Kiako, Utada and Yuna went to the elevator the check it out.
"This is blood" Sephiroth said.
" Yea blood alright" Kiako said sniffing it.
" I thought she was a cat not a blood hound get it?" Fira said shoving Yuna with his elbow.
" Oh I get it Hahahahaha" Yuna laughed.
" Fira this situation is serious!" Utada said.
" Nah it's not the janitor guys can totally come and mop this up" Fira said.
Walking down the hallway by the elevator was Selphie and Kairi talking.
" I heard Kuro went to the infirmary today" Kairi said.
" Yea and Sesshoumaru took her right I hope she'll be okay" Selphie said.
" TO THE INFIRMARY!" Avalon shouted. ' No Kuro… is this…your blood?' Avalon thought as he ran into the elevator regardless of the blood on the floor. He pressed F1 closing the door to the elevator off on everyone and going down.
"What's his problem?" Fira asked.
" Didn't you hear KURO'S IN THE INFIRMY I HAVE TO GET DOWN THERE!" Kiako said impatiently. " HURRY UP YOU STUPID! OHH!" Kiako ran to go and take the stairs.
In the Infirmary" She's lost a lot of blood it's amazing her heart is still beating, it's next to impossible I wonder what's keeping her alive" Ms.Kadawaki said.
" Yes I too am alittle curious of your mischievous dodge of death" Sesshoumaru said staring down at Kuro. Everyone rushed into the infirmary. Avalon ran in and moved the curtains to reveal Kuro lying still on the bed.
" KURO!" Avalon said kneeling down at her bedside.
" See I told you she'd be fine" Fira said walking in.
" As a matter of fact, she's not… Kuro here has lost a lot and I mean A LOT of blood. She has only afew grams of blood in her body left she was supposed to be dead 2hours ago" Ms.Kadawaki explained.
" But that's…" Sephiroth started.
" Impossible I know but somehow Kuro is still living off of what little blood she has left" Kadawaki said as she eased into her desk.
" Well she's gonna be fine right?" Fira asked. With that statement everyone stared at the dread locked keyblade master.
" I'm not sure" Kadawaki replied.
" Well with your attitude I'm not surprised if she died right here and now" Fira said.
" Fira!" Utada said.
" How could you say something like that" Kiako said in tears.
" Because doctors should be more positive towards their patients don't you think?" Fira said. " Everybody all like what if she dies what if she dies…well what if she doesn't be more positive about the situation here, she'll pull through I know it"
"Well as much as I hat to agree with bob marley here" Sephiroth said.
" Yea your right" Kiako said. " Kuro you'll be out of here in no time it's just a scratch right?"
" Yea just a scratch she's too strong" Utada said.
Fira turned around and began to leave.
" Where are you going?" Yuna asked.
" This is all good I'm glad that we're all positive and crap now but I gotta go and get me something to eat from the café I'm starved" Fira said.
" Fira your impossible how can you think of your stomach when your friend is hospitalized" Utada said.
" Well I'm not sure how but the idea sorta pops up in my head" Fira replied.
Later that very same night.
Still resting in the bed unconscious was Kuro, Dr.Kadawaki left to go home. Suddenly appearing at Kuro's bedside was a tall ghostly woman, Ultimecia. The shadow of Ultimecia walked over to Kuro's resting body then placed her palm on her stomach.
" Ah I can feel them the spores have already hatched" Ultimecia smiled deviously. " Rise…Rise Sorceress Suzaku!"
Kuro's eyes shot open with her opening her eyes her entire figured changed from a blackmage to looking like Ultimecia's younger sister. She sat up and got out of bed, she glided across the floor without walking like a ghost.
She glided over to the door opened it and left the Infirmary she floated through the dark empty hallways as the moonlight shined down on her through window peeks.
" Find the keyhole Sorceress Suzaku" A voice said in her head.
Meanwhile Avalon had left his room in pajamas and slippers to go to the infirmary. ' I can't sleep knowing she's in there in that condition' He thought turning a corner, Sorceress Suzaku and Avalon had met for the first time. Avalon stared at her for awhile and Suzaku just stared back…
" Huh…who are…Kuro?" Avalon said recognizing her face finally. But by figuring it out he was blown back by an Advanced Firaga spell knocking him out. Avalon hit the stone wall hard then landed on the marble floor unconscious. Sorceress Suzaku then continued her journey searching the garden. She floated straight towards the monster training facility. Fira appeared out of nowhere infront of her, his eyes were closed and he was just in her face for no reason.
" Stand aside or perish" Suzaku said with no feeling in her voice she said it as if she were a robot.
" Pizza, Hamburgers and Lasagna" Fira replied. Fira was apparently sleep walking.
" Die then" Suzaku said raising her hand at Fira. Suzaku's hand transformed into a dark blade and she swung it furiously at Fira. Fira took a step back then walked past her sleep walking towards the cafeteria.
Seeing Fira was no threat Suzaku transformed her hand back to normal and continued her journey to the Training Facility. She hovered in and saw the one and only Sesshoumaru hacking up fiends for sport with his Tokujin. Sesshoumaru sensed Suzaku's presence then turned around to face her.
" Hm? Kuro" Sesshoumaru said alittle surprised himself.
" Suzaku, take him he is your knight" Ultimecia said to her.
" My sorceress knight" Suzaku replied. Suddenly a dark aura appeared under Suzaku's feet, it then started to spread everywhere the darkness consumed everything around it. Sesshoumaru jumped back as the dark aura drew near…
" Kuro what is the meaning of this?" Sesshoumaru asked as the darkness appeared behind him. Sesshoumaru pulled out his Tokujin and sliced pieces of the darkness off with his Tokujin then suddenly appearing at his sides was the darkness again. The darkness grabbed onto Sesshoumaru's legs, arms and body soon covering him a dark dome. After about 3minutes of Sesshoumaru's struggling he gave in… When the darkness disappeared from around him, Sesshoumaru had black eyes with golden pupils.
" Sorceress Suzaku" Sesshoumaru said.
" My knight Sesshoumaru" Suzaku replied.
" I will serve you for as long as I live" Sesshoumaru said bowing down to one knee.
(Author's Note: Hey I know it was too easy how Sesshy was taken over but ya gotta think though…COME ON HE'S SESSHOUMARU! He can't be controlled)
