Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OC, and the Demon Within Saga. Thank you.
Kairi sat in front of the fireplace as more rain beat down upon the city. The heavens were worried about something, and the rain reflected their fear. Yami looked out the window and noticed this.
"The Gods need our help," he whispered, picking up his sword that he received from Inuyasha, a half-demon prince. "Let's go, Protectors." Everyone grabbed their weapons, save for Kairi, that is. The fire reflected in her eyes, knowing that another memory was beginning to appear.
-Flashback-
Kairi stood in the middle of the streets, Sephiroth standing behind her, waiting for someone. Three figures stood on the other end of the street, carrying guns. A bright green light was on their foreheads. One of them had spiky brown hair and bright blue eyes; the second one had red hair and grey-blue eyes, while the last one had a muscular body, blonde hair, and dark navy eyes. Sephiroth grinned evilly, but Kairi didn't see. He walked towards the three men, greeting them by bowing.
"Well, what have we got here?" said the first one with an Australian accent, peering down at Kairi. "Why did you bring her?"
"You know why, Valon," the third man replied in a deep voice, scaring Kairi out of her wits. "You also know that Sephiroth here works with Master Dartz." Valon leaned back, crossing his arms.
"Besides, this girl here plays an important role, you two," the middle one piped up. "So, don't screw this up!"
"You'd better watch yourself, Alister," Sephiroth warned, holding his sword up to his chin. "Or else you will be taken by the Orichalcos, just like your family!" Alister stopped dead, hearing this. Sephiroth grinned wider, for he knew that Alister hated hearing about his family's capture. Sephiroth took hold of Kairi's right hand, and held it up to the third man, the palm facing the frightened girl.
"Do it, Rafael," the older brother ordered, the third man cocking his gun. Instead of a bullet, a strange symbol fired out of the weapon, and landed onto her hand. It burned in pain as the three Orichalcos wielders laughed evilly. She looked down long enough just to see what the symbol was. It was a black cross, surrounded with a mysterious aura.
"You be careful, now," Valon laughed, hopping onto his motorcycle, as did the others. "That there is very powerful magic." With a roar, the engines kicked to life, and they sped off, the cross burning in pain once again. Sephiroth just stared down at her, grinning wickedly at her pain. Tears flowed from her eyes.
-End flashback-
Kairi removed the glove on her right hand, and looked down at the cross. Around it, her skin had disappeared from the burning pain that it caused her. Although the others never saw, every time she was angered, her hand burned in pain, as though it was placed into a fireplace. She stood up, placed the glove back onto her hand, and walked out the door. Above her, a man stood on the roof of a large building, a black wing on his right side. Below, a black wing appeared on the left side of Kairi's back, and she flew off, the man scanning her with piercing green eyes.
"Fool," he muttered, walking away swiftly. "Your memories shall consume you."
Who could that man be, and what does the cross really mean? Find out in chapter four!
