Could you forget about love?
"You'll be alright Rena!" She heard Hikari's voice. The environment seemed bumpy. Lights kept flashing around her.
"What happened Hikari? What happened to Rena?" She could make out a blurry figure above her.
'Kai's voice…'
'It hurts…' Her muscles ached she tried to flex her fingers only to feel pain shooting up her arm. She felt dizziness and exhaustion from every cell in the body going through each nerve.
She let a gasp escape as a great force tugged at her heart. Her whole being was throbbing. She reached out desperately utilizing all her strength in the attempt. Kai grasped her hand.
"You'll be all right!" He gasped at the pain searing through his hand. Blood trickled from the fresh wound in his hand. The sharp scaly skin had pierced through his skin. Hikari gave a concerned look at Kai who held a brave face. Rena could not help but shed a tear upon seeing a face twisted in anguish.
'Is this part of the final transformation? I shouldn't have survived and I probably should have prepared for this outcome…'
'Maybe… Everything would be better if I just died. After all everyone else is capable of looking after themselves. Hikari and Kai can look after each other, I'm sure Hilary and Tyson can work something out and I heard chief talk about someone called Emily. I bet even Max and Ray have got sweethearts waiting for them. I'm a burden after all.' Her body relaxed as she let go of her frustrations and fell back into the comfort of her own memories.
Flashback
The snow fell to the ground softly; streets were covered in the blankets of it. The streets were dark and cold. Families laughed as the eve of Christmas drew ever closer. Rena was a small but adorable wolf cub playing with the icicles that froze on the tree trunks.
Denizen tramped out on the snow away from the other cubs. The other cubs barked and romped around. His warm voice was comforting, gentle and kind.
"Young one? Do you not wish to play with the others?" She tilted her head.
"Tis' not that I don't wish to sir. I just don't wish to interfere." She pawed the ground in the shape of a leaf.
"You once told me that each and every leaf belongs on a tree and deserves to stay together, though each may fall they all rejoin within the soil which gives life."
"This cub doesn't belong within a pack as great as this one. Leader, the pack… you're so good to me, even Alpha Prettypaw! In a tree with such magnificence as yours how can I possibly dare to be a part of it?" Her head was lowered.
"I don't know what to do! I'm lost in this world! Why don't I belong?"
"Rena… I have something of utmost importance to show you." He led her to then den and picked up a flimsy cloth. He laid it before her.
"Leader I don't understand." He hushed her and asked her to take a whiff.
"It smells almost like me… But like a human… Why leader? How have you copied my scent?" She tilted her head curiously.
"This is yours you had it the day foxfire found you. You were a newborn human all pink and rosy. But your parents left you out in the snow. T'was cold and I knew of naught about looking after young humans. I was shocked out of my fur when you rolled out of the cloth and into snow. There was a banging sound and next thing I knew there was a pup sitting next to the cloth."
"I told you once about the story of those who walked the earth before humans. Those entities of great power. The Morphites." He held a serious face.
"I believe that it is time for you to venture into the world, into you're world."
Her paws were small and she felt giddy from lack of food. A young boy held out a shiny coin and passed it to a tall man who held a metal spoon. A cone was held toward the boy with an icy substance of some sort. Rena could not help but lick her lips.
She approached slowly at first, but the boy kept moving faster so she bounded to match his speed. He twisted and caught her muzzle in one hand.
"Gotcha doggy! What do you want?" she bit deep into the creamy ice-cream. It was delicious!
A loud bang caught his attention. He fell onto his rear and backed away. He began to tear. She wondered why he was so startled. She reached out to touch him. Then noticed that her paws no longer there. They had no fur or proper nails. The pads beneath them had also disappeared. The wind blew at her furless skin.
For some reason the horizon seemed further and smaller than usual. She no longer felt comfortable on all fours, so she rose. Her hair was medium length and she was clothed in a large white shirt and a small pair of pinkish shorts. Her hair was dark blue and the only thing that was familiar were the fangs in her mouth.
"Wah!" The little boy bawled loudly. The tears rolled down his cheeks in great torrents.
"I'm sorry!" her mind was muddled.
'Where did that come from? I still don't understand humans very well. Yet… I am able to speak?' her own thought were in such disarray she did not notice the boy running away.
'Teacher told me about the ancient creatures of folklore but I couldn't possibly be one of them… Could I?' I don't know much about being myself anymore.
'But for some reason I think that I'll know when it happens.'
Young Rena found herself cold and alone. Constantly having to search for temporary shelter and warmth. She was forced to steal a new pair of pants when she outgrew the shorts and finding food wasn't easy especially when she realized that eating certain foodstuff's made her transform.
Being a gullible child she was tricked into doing things she normally would not do. But everything she did just left her as cold as before, ever fearful of the future.
She was able to meet Suki and felt the kindness and joy for the first time since she had left the safety of the den. She never minded all the stunts they pulled together. The green eyed girl and herself were the best of friends. But, she began to play it safe after the devastating fire that left her heartbroken.
It was then she met her parents who rejected her and despised her since her birth. They were murdered by Voltaire and Rena could never forgive him for that. She could not help but wish that the outcome had been different.
She almost threw herself off a cliff to meet the jagged rocks below. Demorhe met her and she realized that she was no longer alone. She stopped me before I took the plunge. Something no other bit beast could ever accomplish.
She began to practice hard at blading and focused on hiding her weaknesses and improving herself. Taking out most opponents was easy since Demorhe was more than capable of handling them all by herself.
End flash back
'The only thing holding Demorhe back is me. Because… I'm so darn useless! If I could just do things right the first time I would not hinder my team! People like the blade breakers don't need someone like me!' She blanked out due to exhaustion and only saw doctors gathering around her injured body before she passed out.
Kai paced along the corridor as Hikari watched him. The nurse pointed out that they should wait in the waiting room like the rest of the team, which included Mr. Dickinson and Chief who just arrived that morning. Kai snapped and shouted at the woman who was taken aback. He continued till Hikari shook her head and tugged on his sleeve.
He panted heavily. He knew that he had only yelled at the nurse because there was no outlet to lessen his own rage and self-hate. Hikari knew as well as he knew the torment of watching Rena being lifted onto a stretcher and carried away by paramedics.
She was suffering so much and it was just more than he could bear!
'Why? Why is it Rena? Doesn't she know that her pain is my pain? When I see her like that. I feel all the pain as well!' His thought circled though his head repeatedly. He knew that Hikari was feeling along the same lines as himself. After all, Rena had released her from a spell that kept her trapped for thousands of years, within the body of a really powerful creature.
'Rena how many times do I have to tell you that I love you?' Kai faced the ceiling.
"Probably until the end of time." Kai turned to Hikari. "Everyone likes to know that they are loved."
"I love you to Hikari" Hikari blushed and wrapped her small arms around Kai's neck.
"I would never hurt you or Rena." A tear slid down his cheek. She buried her head in his chest.
"Love you too Daddy."
The morning sun was high in the sky and the past events of yesterday were but memories upon their minds. The hospital itself was peaceful but something sinister was lurking. One force determined to separate Kai and Rena.
Hikari awoke to find that Kai was no longer by her side. The cold hospital hall was very empty and it gave off a lonely feeling. She pushed herself off the wooden bench and stepped onto the icy cold floor.
She trudged groggily still rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her eyes widened in shock when Rena turned a corner and ran past her tears of sorrow flowing from her eyes. Rena was clad in a hospital gown and had bandages tied around her head and right arm. She was still suffering from the effects of her transformation. The gash on her arm where she bit down was still fresh. She was also heavily injured. She should not even be out of bed!
Hikari knew why when she saw the scene. Kai was there… Only… With his lips resting on another's. She felt betrayed, hurt and felt as if she had strayed right into a trap strung with a web of lies. She traced Rena to the fountain outside the hospital entrance.
"Why? Why?" She was slumping against the fountain while murmuring to herself.
"Rena. Forget about…Him. We don't need him! Let's just go! Far away from here! To somewhere he'll never find us!" She grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet with surprising strength.
'Forget about…Him? Is it possible to forget about love?' Rena questioned herself silently.
'Sometimes running is the best way.' Hikari doubted her words but… Rena needed to leave.
They walked away from the gates of the hospital. Rena could not begin to express in words how she felt those she did know that she was breaking down within.
Rena and Hikari held each other close as the left the blade breakers forever…
Or so they thought…
