Break Me, Shake Me

"It is…or it could be…there are ways to alter fate…but do you really want to? You were born to rule…don't you want to?" Youmi queried her, putting a hand on her shoulder.

His hand was quickly removed when he felt heat swell up beneath it. The trembling figure before him was filled with fright, and now unable to control her emotions. She was confused, not knowing what to think or do. She stood there, no longer who she once was, but someone now broken up into different people…

"You…you…" She muttered to Youmi. "You shattered…me…" She said, feeling a bubbling rage inside of her, about to burst.

Huyana turned to face Youmi, looking up to him, glaring, her eyes frost bitten with hatred. She started to feel her power over take her, wanting to be let out, wanting to gain control. Her power got the best of her, making her glow a new rainbowish color, a new feeling binding to her body.

Youmi felt himself becoming twisted inside, his mind tying into knots, feeling as if it were going to explode. Huyana's eyes burned with resolve. Fury built up inside her, she felt her powers growing beyond their limits. She grasped Youmi's conscious into her hands, making him black out, quickly running out.

"I don't believe this…I didn't…I can't believe what's happening to me…" She ran quickly, not caring where she went.

"Huyana…you confuse me in a way that I've never seem to known…I see your beauty flaring…your eyes burning with such resolve…incredible…why do you flee?" Youmi's voice rang in her head.

She stopped, clutching her temples, falling to her knees. She felt something tying her back, she couldn't move further. She could feel chains attached to her body, yet did not see them. He had her ensnared, and doubted he planned on releasing her. Her invisible shackles held her tightly, and began to pull her back towards the palace.

"You can deal with games of the mind…how about this? Can you over power your own imprisonment? You can only break the shackles if you face your fears and except them…pull yourself back together…I can help you, what do you say? But you'll have to give me something in exchange."

"N—Never…you…bastard…" She said trying to stand, but was unable to, her shackles kept her to the ground.

"You won't make it out on your own…Let me soothe your pain…make you whole again. You won't be shattered into so many places anymore if you choose to trust me."

"Go…to..hell.." She replied.

"Not the answer I was looking for…"

The shackles tightened, cutting into her skin. She cried out in pain, loosing her consciousness slowly, she felt her mind being shaken, her soul being broken, but he was unconscious! How could he cause her so much pain? Before the girl slipped into unconsciousness, she heard her name being called, but by who?

"HUYANA! WAKE UP, YOU LAZY BRAT!"

That voice, so familiar…Huyana opened her eyes, she was in her bed! What? How? When? She sat up, back in her regular clothes, looking to her hands, she no longer felt chained. She got up, walking out of her room, downstairs. Hiei sat in the kitchen, drinking some coffee, Yuka and Youko also awaited there.

"W—Wait..you guys are dead!" She said, her eyes widening.

"What of it?" Hiei said.

"How..are you here?"

"You're dreaming. Lets just say it was easy to access your mind while it was open. You finally gave into Youmi's control…You were weak, and now you're going to be trapped forever in Youmi's grasp. But I suppose that's what you deservee for being a weakling. The weak deserve to die, and the strong live on." Hiei glared to her.

"I—I'm not weak…" Her voice trembled.

"Then why did you let Youmi gain control?" He said softly, his voice stale and cold.

"Don't you ever accuse me of being weak…Hiei…you know that I'm not…" She said, her voice remaining to tremble.

"Ha…Weakling." He laughed.

"Shut up…you know I'm living with a ton of regret right now! JUST SHUT UP!" She said, feeling the onrush of pain approach her again.

"Its your own fault. Don't blame others for your own problems, deal with it! Prove you're not weak!" His voice faded.

"I will, Hiei…I promise you…" She drifted back to consciousness, her eyes snapping open.

She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath, still feeling as though she was shackled. She dug her fingers into the soft earth, pulling at her invisible chains, and standing. She felt herself breaking, this was too much to handle for such a tortured soul. But she wouldn't, she would not let Youmi break her further.

"Its time I stand up on my own two feet… No more help…Youmi will not keep me imprisoned any longer…its time to break my shackles of doubt..hate..fear…and regret. I must face this head on, and stop this maddness…gain control this power once and for all…"

She ran as quickly as she could back to the palace. But not to her surprise, there Youmi awaited, smirking. He seemed so dark to her now, like she could sense a stong evilness from him. He had no soul anymore, he was an empty soul. His heart now over taken with darkness.

"I knew you would return…you couldn't resist, you need my help…" He smiled.

"I didn't come back to ask for your help…" She clenched her fists. "I came to kill you…"

"I..see." To his displeasement, he frowned lightly.

Her powers increased dramatically, but she had the control this time. Her shackles released her, allowing her to fight him. She felt heat arise in her palms, energy grew into a gigantic flare of fire and ice blended. Youmi felt a cage of crystal hard ice surround them, a chill moving up his spine.

"Prepare to die…" She held her hands slightly apart in front of her, a massive energy flowing from them.

Youmi formed his green energy shield around him, yet he still felt unprotected. He still felt that chill running up and down his spine. Huyana's eyes, not burning with resolve any longer, but now with confidence. She would not lose, she refused to.

She finally assaulted him, using all she had. Breaking through his shield, through his defenses and pierct his heart, brining him to the ground in a quick swift move. She continued to beat him head on full force, getting in any punch, kick, or hit she could. She finally had full control of this power, and would not let it go.

Youmi was beaten around, for what seemed like an eternity to him. She wouldn't stop, nothing could make up for what she had done. Nothing. She killed the three she loved the most, and nothing could wash her of that feeling…

Er…not much…but this was all I could muster up for right now…not that good…kind of weird…a lot more will be revealed in the next chapter or two. I'm working on other stories and pictures…you can see most of the picts here. www.huyana. well minna, check y'all later!
