The True World
Chapter 7
Aweaking
By: ShadowsOfTheHeart
Darkness is all I see now, as I sit her in nothing and let the events run over and over in my head. Why did this have to happen? This shouldn'tt have happened, I should have been there, not at the mall. AI should have protected them as I said a figure appeared in front of me. Dressed like me, and looked like me, except there was something cold in her eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked
"You" she said in a clam sharp voice.
I just stood there and looked her over, exactly like me, but not those eyes.
"No your not, you my look like me, but my eyes are not cold." I stated in a voice that match hers.
"I'm a wear of that, this live that I have been reborn in has shown me love. Something I never felt in my pervious lives. We are the same; you are me as I am you. It's time for you to relive you past life, and for the Hogo of the Makai to walk again.
Emily was again in Kurama bed "24 hours" he whispered.
"Are you worried fox, there is only 15minutes left." Hiei asked from his place at the window.
"Should I be?" Kurama asked more to reassure himself.
"I don't know, you hear the Hogo in Koenma office, the girl does not want you dead." Hiei stated.
"I know it's just." Kurama started but was cut off but a light that was coming from Emily body.
-Flash Back-
"When the merging begins, she with glow a red-ish black color."
-End Flash Back-
"It has begun." Hiei stated glancing at the girl.
Realization struck me, as memories after memories few through my head. I know now what everything met.
I know knew who I was.
I stood up and opened my eyes; I saw the barrier I created 17 years ago with the last of my powers. I saw Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara, and Botan.
ABotan I whispered.
I watched as they hit the barrier, and try to break it down. I smirked they will not break my barrier. I looked at Botan. AShe does not remember yet. But she soon will, just in time, Where these words came from I dont know. I feel more wise, and strong.
The scene changed and now I just saw Hiei pounding on the barrier. AThey tested me. I whispered as if the fire demon could hear me.
Then I was in darkness again. But now I know what I am, and what I have to do. My duty is to the Makai, and to my friends, and to my parents.
"Know that you know, our souls will merge. You will be the same as you have grown to be, but with the memories and knowledge of what you are, and what you have to do." My other self stated as he held up her hand.
"Kurama?" I question as I remember what he did.
"It will be your choice now." She answered with her cold voice.
I nodded my head and walked towards her I placed my hand on hers as a red-ish black light surrounded us.
I woke up to Kurama and Hiei looking at me. I sat up in the bed, and let out a breath. I felt clam, not angry, you sad. Just clam. I knew that I will avenge my parent's death. In time I will, but I will need a clear head for what is in front of me. Anger and self pity won't get me there.
"I feel calm." I stated to no one.
"Emily, what do you remember?" Kurama asked me a bit of worry in his voice.
"Everything" I stated in a cold voice, in truth with I remember so did Kurama,
"Listen I'm s-" I waved a hand in front of him. "Listen, I don't care with you did in the past." I stated as I got out of bed. "Lets go." I added.
"Where?" Kurama asked.
"Sprit world, I have to speak with Emna." I answered.
Keiko awoke with new knowledge in her head. She also had a dream of the past, her pasted. AI have to talk to Emily and Botan. She said as she rushed out of bed to get changed.
Botan also awoke from a dream of her past life. AI understand she said as she took rushed to get dressed.
I walked into Koenma office, and smirk at the boy. "Haven't changed much have you" I stated.
"I see you have your memories" he stated more then asked,
"Yes, I need to speak with you father." I ordered.
Koenma sighed and was about to press a button when an Emna appeared.
I smiled and looked up at him and said "Lone time Enma"
He smiled back and patted my head with his finger. "Yes Lady Emily, I see you have regained your memories"
I shook my head then said "What about my sisters?"
"Do not worry my Lady they are on their way." King Enma spoke.
"Why do you want to know where the Emanie is?" I asked in a clam voice.
"Something has thrown the World out of balance. Yuma has called for your help; he needs his Hogos again." Enma deep voice said.
"This is not good, that must mean that the shadows has returned, and when it finds that the people of the world are gone, it will come here. We do not need a repeat of what happened 20 billion years ago." I stated as I waved my hand and my amour appeared on me.
It was tight fitting, and out lined my figure perfectly. It was reddish black and has strange marking on it that are unreadable to humans and demons alike. A piece of cloth fell from my mid drift to the floor with two slits up the sides exposing my lags. Over the cloth was a piece of light amour in front and back. My hair once mid back was now in a lone braid that reached the floor. My Arms where not covered with amour, they had blue-ish silver wrapping on them, that stopped at two silver bracelets with markings at my wrist. They where tight, and kept the rapping in place. My hands had nothing on them to protect them. I needed them free to weald my sword. Black eye make up out lined my eyes, and sparkles danced on my cheeks. Around my neck was a silver chain that held the symbol of the Hogos. All that was missing was my sword.
Keiko ran to Yusuke house, there she snuck into his room and took his communicator. She called Botan. "Keiko?.. What is it?"
"I remember sister, we need to go and see Enma" Keiko whispered.
"Right, Ill be right there." And in a flashed Botan was on her ore in Yusuke bed room.
Keiko got on and smiled AIt is nice to see you again sister
"They are here" I said as I turned around to see Keiko and Botan appeared on an ore.
They jumped off and ran to me. "Emily!" They yelled at they jumped me, and tackled me to the ground.
"Ok, get off." I stringed as I pushed them off.
Kurama and Hiei looked at each other "it couldn't be" Kurama whispered to Hiei.
They looked back and saw Keiko and Botan wavy their hands and they to where in their amour. They wore the same amour as me, except for one small different, the color. Keiko amour is a sapphire blue, her wrappings where silver, and her bracelets where gold. Botans is silver, with gold wrappings and sapphire bracelets.
Kurama stood wide eye and said "Botan and Keiko are Hogos as well?"
King Enma shook his head, and then said "Lady Keiko of the Earth, and Lady Botan of the Reikai."
"Emily why are Yusuke and the others looking for the Emeian?" Asked Keiko, she was always full of questions.
I smiled at her and said "Yuma needs our help on the world. Are you two ready to go back and help me defeat the shadows?"
Botan and Keiko look at each other then back at me "we will follow you any where you go" they both said at the same time.
My eyes met Kuramas, he looked so sad, and grieve stricken. He truly has changed. And I know that Botan and Keiko would never attack him, they have made friends with this Kurama not the old.
My eyes soften, he has helped me though a terrible ordeal. My parents. "Mom, dad." I whispered, I will avenge them.
"Enma, do you know how much time we have until the shadows reach the world?"
"2 weeks." He answered "whats on your mind."
"I would like it if Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama and Kuwabara joined us on this mission; we need all the help we can get." I answered.
"Yes my lady, Ill send for Yusuke and Kuwabara right now.. Botan! .. Wait I mean.." He stumbled again.
"Ill get them Koenma, Im still the grim reaper." Botan answered, she waved her hand and was back to her normal self. She then hopped on her ore and sped of to get the guys.
Keiko also changed back. "Its better if well tell him all at once. ."
I shook my head and wavy my hand and changed back, back at that robe. I rolled my eyes. I was starting to fell like my old self.
"Umm. Em?" Keiko asked.
"Yes" I answered.
"Why are you in a bath robe?" She asked confused.
I blinked then the events came in my head. I shook them away. "My cloths are unavailable at the moment." I didn'tt want her to see the pain I help deep inside
Keiko shook her head, and then took a set in one of Koenma chairs. I looked over at Hiei then Kurama. "When Yusuke and Kuwabara get here Ill explain about the world." I then walked over to where Keiko sat and also took a set.
After a minute Kurama joined us, his eyes where down cased, he was beating himself up over what happened a life time ago. It was the silver fox I was angry at, not him.
Hiei was leaning agents the wall, and Koenma was at his desk.
Botan appeared with Yusuke and Kuwabara.
"Ok binkie breathe, what do you want now, I got something to do today." Yusuke stated as he walked towards the young prince.
"Something to do? Is that how you tell others youre going on a date with me!" stressed Keiko.
The look on Yusuke face was priceless; I couldn'tt help but laugh. He looks as if someone just told him Praise Hilton was a guy. In other words horror struck. Keiko surly got him wiped.
"K-Keiko, wh..at ar..e y--ou do..ing he--re?" Yusuke stuttered out.
This made me laugh harder, I dont know why but I just couldn't stop laughing. When you cant cry, laugh.
Keiko was red in face, Kurama was shaking his head, and Hiei had a slight smirk on his face. Kuwabara was just looking confused as ever.
"What am I doing here, Im here to help! YOU JERK! I CANT BELIEVE YOU WONT EVEN ACKKNOLAGE YOUR OWN GIRLFRIEND!." Keiko screamed at him as her head went anime big.
Yusuke cowered in font of her. I fell on the chair laughing, the last time I saw Keiko get this mad was when I said she need to do something with her hair. Boy, did I ever get a tong lashing. My head was ringing for days.
"A.. I .. Well-". Yusuke stuttered.
I got put off the floor and wiped a tear out of my eye and said "You two are priceless, to bad I didn't have a camera."
"Emily?" Yusuke and Kuwabara said even more confused.
"yes?" I asked confusing them more.
"Why are you in a bath robe?"asked Yusuke, forgetting about the argument.
I sighed and said "Later, but first me Keiko and Botan need to ask a favor of you. Kurama and Hiei already know."
"And that is?" Yusuke asked a bit surprised.
"All in good time But fist I need to tell you a story." I stated while walking over to him.
