Chapter 17- Dangerous Encounter: Consequences
Lana's eyes shot open as she awoke. Looking around at her surroundings, she realized that she was in her bedroom. 'How the hell did I get here?' she thought, feeling her head ache for some unknown reason. Lana groaned as she sat up. Her body ached, no she was in flat out pain. She brought her hands up to massage her temples as she attempted to recall what had ended her up in bed.
'Okay I was just going to bed...and then...Naraku!' She gasped and her eyes widened. 'That's right! I had attacked him! But...what the hell happened afterwards?' Her mind went blank. She couldn't remember. Had she defeated Naraku? She had snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed that Kimiko had entered the room. She had a sad expression on her face, and Lana had wondered why.
"Kimiko?"
Upon hearing her name being called out, Kimiko's head snapped up abruptly. "L-Lana? You are awake at last!" she squealed excitedly. She quickly ran towards Lana but was hesitant to embrace her for her lord did say that she may be in pain. "Are you in much pain my lady?"
Lana looked at her as if she had two heads. "Yes I am. What did you mean by me being awake at last?" 'How long was I sleep?' Once again, Kimiko's face saddened and she frowned. "You have been asleep for four days my lady." Her eyes began to water. "We were all in fear that you would not make it."
Lana saw the pain in Kimiko's eyes she became worried. "Not make it? What the heck happened Kimiko!? Answer me!" she shouted. She was scared. Something happed after the incident with Naraku. She had slept for four days? "Where is Sesshomaru?"
Kimiko lowered her head. "My lord is meeting with Lord Leviathan in his study. The dragon lord had just returned after assisting several other lords in the search for the evil hanyou and young Prince Ifrit.
Lana's eyebrows forrowed and she bit her lip at Kimiko's words. "So...Naraku is...alive?" The words were almost too hard for her to say. The young girl beside her noted the disappointment in her voice and was reluctant to tell her the truth. "Forgive me Lana, but it is true. Naraku continues to live."
Lana looked own at her lap, her hands fisted in anger as she clutched onto the silk sheets. 'Lucky bastard! I was sure I killed him.' She looked back up at Kimiko. "So you say Sesshomaru is in his study?" Kimiko nodded and Lana quickly got out of bed. She screamed in pain as climbed out of the bed and ended up on the floor.
"Lana!" Kimiko cried out as she went to help her up but Lana shook her head. "No. I'm alright." she said with a smile. She stood up to her full height. "You stay here. I'll be right back." Kimiko nodded and Lana left the room.
Down the halls, everything was silent. So silent in fact that Lana could hear voices of to masculine voices in conversation. When she got to the end of the hall, she recognized the voices as Sesshomaru and Lord Leviathan. At first she was going to just enter, but then decided to listen in on what they were discussing. This would easy due to the fact that the door was slightly open. She put her ear to the door and had just heard Sesshomaru talking....
On the other side of the door......
"So how was the search? Any leads as to their whereabouts?" Sesshomaru asked.
Leviathan shook his head. "Not one. Those cowards!" he shouted as he slammed his fist onto the wood desk. "How are you holding? Has she awakened yet?"
Sesshomaru looked at the dragon demon blankly for a moment, but Leviathan could plainly see the worry and distress that shown within the depths of his golden eyes. "I've just checked her thirty minutes ago....her condition has not changed." Sesshomaru paused in thought for a moment. What would he say to Lana when she did awaken? He drifted as he recollection the incident that occurred four days ago....
Flashback
Sesshomaru made a move towards his mate but was blocked by a barrier. He felt a brief pain as he was thrown back. Leviathan quickly ran to him with worry on his face. "She must stop Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru looked at him with concern. "If she keeps this up, she will not only succeed in destroying Naraku, but herself as well." Sesshomaru averted his gaze back to Lana. "Then I shall revive her with my sword." The dragon demon frowned and shook his head. "By destroyed I mean obliterated. Her powers will purify her because she has demon blood. There will be nothing left of her to revive my friend." At these words, the dog demon became frantic with worry for his mate and unborn child. "Lana! Stop this at once or you'll die!" he shouted, but his words were unheard.
Lana's other clawed hand rose as she bent her arm back ready to strike. She knew that Sesshomaru was saying something but she didn't want to hear it. She was in control. She had the ability to end it all hear. All of the pain and suffering that he caused would be avenged by her. She flexed her claws as she aimed for his heart. "Stop this! You can't! I-I beg you to stop!" Naraku pleaded. A toothy grin formed on Lana's face. "That's funny. I wish the others were here to hear you beg for your LIFE! You pathetic scum! You don't deserve mercy...only painful death." her grip tightened around his neck and he growled in pain. "And that is exactly what you will get when I rip out your heart from your chest!"
Naraku's eyes widened in horror as he watched her claws descend from the air........
......then....Lana's hand halted as a painful cramp was felt in her abdomen. Her claws were only a millimeter from Naraku's chest. The blue glow in her eyes had faded and the air around her no longer held the violent energy as before. Her gray eyes looked up into Naraku's red ones with fierce determination to finish what she had started. But her body gave up, it could not withstand the intensity of her own powers. Her hair clung to her face as sweat trickled down her body. She was gasping for air and her grip on Naraku's neck loosened.
The pain was unbearable, she didn't know how long she'd be able to continue to stand. With heavy eyelids she managed to look at the evil half-demon straight in the eye. "Damn you Naraku..." Lana let out a painful scream and released her grip from Naraku's neck as her arms wrapped around her waist and she stumbled back a few steps. Naraku looked at her form in disbelief for a second before seeing this a s his chance to escape.
Sesshomaru saw Naraku retreat into his dark portal. Lana had dropped to her knees and the barrier had decimated. In the blink of an eye he was at her side and was able to catch her before she hit the floor. He held her protectively in his arms as he turned her face up towards him. Sesshomaru stifled a gasp as he looked upon the woman in his arms. She appeared so broken and pale, so fragile. Her gasped for air were that of a person who was once drowning. Lord Leviathan had already sent other lords to go after Naraku and had ran over to Sesshomaru's side to aid him. "Quickly. We must get her fever down and hydrate her immediately. She could die Sesshomaru...not even your father's sword may save her if she does........
End Flashback
"Actually..." Sesshomaru's flashback was ended by Leviathan's response. "I have found out information as to what happened to Lana. You see, Lana's powers as a miko were too strong for her demon body. Further proof as to why a demon and a miko as one should not be. Her powers had come into it's full potential as she became enraged, they increased her strength as a result. However, they became so powerful, when she tried to purify Naraku....she almost succeeded in completely purifying herself."
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow. "You said that she almost completely purified herself. Please, explain."
Leviathan nodded. "It is obvious that the only reason why she is here alive and...whole, in a manner of speaking but I shall get to that in a moment...is because she was not completely purified. She did, however, purify her demon blood. In other words my friend...Lana is now completely human."
On the other side of the door Lana covered her mouth with her hand to suppress her startled gasp. Human? All of demon blood gone? But this news was nothing compared to what she heard next.
Sesshomaru turned his view to look out at the window. A few moments passed before he spoke what was on his mind. "So then...what of our child." he asked emotionlessly.
Lord Leviathan frowned at his next words. "I am deeply sorry my friend. The child was too weak to also withstand the intense power seeing how its mother miraculously survived herself. It was purified."
Sesshomaru's jaw tightened. "I see." he said with same tone of voice as before.
"You and Lana both have my condolences my lord, but please...do not blame Lana for your loss." said the dragon demon, his voice full of sorrow. "It is...quite hard to lose a child...for both parents."
Sesshomaru slowly turned around to face his friend. "I do not blame Lana. I blame myself."
Leviathan looked at him in confusion upon noticing Sesshomaru's seriousness behind his words. "Why would you do that?"
A loud thud was heard outside of the door. Slowly the door opened to reveal Lana on the floor with her back up straight against the wall. Sesshomaru ran to her. "Lana you are awake." He knelt in front of her and gazed into her eyes. Her eyes did not meet his, she simply stared into nothingness. "Lana." he called out. Her mouth was moving, trying to utter something. For a moment she came back to reality and turned her face to her mate.
"I-I-I w-w-was...p-p-pregnant?" she stuttered before passing out on the floor.
Lord Leviathan looked on and made a silent 'oh' upon realization. How could he forget? Lana did not know.
A/N: sorry if the chapter seemed too short compared to others. I wanted it to only introduce the outcome of the whole incident in the last chapter. Ok so I'll have the next out soon hopefully, but it won't be as short as this one so it won't be up as fast either. GOMEN! Yeah so prepare for some extreme drama and Naraku was just humiliated in front of all those people...I'm sure all he's thinking about is revenge. And poor Lana will never be the same...for now Newayz.
Ok then C U L8Tr Dudes– I may name a future chapter Blvd. Of Broken Dreams b/c that is like my new favorite song GREEN DAY rulez! And I'm from the bronx new york so people think im weird but who cares! I luv all music! Except country...lol.
