I don't own FY
Sorry for the outrageously late update! I'm currently in college and the work load does get a bit cumbersome and I have to share my computer with my roommate (one of them moved out the end of last week). I'm going to try and update every three weeks from this week on, but I can't promise anything.
Thank you for reviewing:
Booma-Chan– Oy, I had assumed that my readers had seen the OVA's. Sorry. They made up in one of the OVA's, but I don't want to ruin it for you if you haven't seen it, the episode it a must see though! It's sooo good. It's one of my favorite episodes. Lol. Yes he was :)
Crimson Firefox - I'm evil like that. Lol. It's fun to make things like this. It might make you want to smack me, but it makes the story more fun. Sorry for the late update
Pil-Z– The way I pulled it off wasn't how I would have liked it to be, but it all makes sense before the end, you'll see. Hmmm. Lily croak gets an odd look for the main character 'I'm not a toad' Lol. Yes, doesn't it suck to notice things so late. How will I make things work? Or not work?
Chichiri's Wanderer– Lol. Yes you were. They definitely feels awkward, that's for sure. I suppose you do have to feel sorry for the monk, but no where near as much as in Silent Hope. Lol. I was just plain evil in my last update of that. As for Hikou, yes he is completely in the realm of the living.
ElfPrincessKitty – Lol. I'm a horrible person when it comes to cliff hangers XD Thank you! I'm really glad you like it and I hope it'll keep you until the end. Thank you again :) And Lily will be fighting Fenrir where she goes. If she will defeat him, die trying or die to defeat him will remain unknown until the right time comes is feeling evil
Akari kitsune– Ah, yes I did. Sorry, it's taking longer than I thought, but that'll become clear soon, promise. And thank you. I'm glad you're liking both stories.
You know what I just realized, I'm really mean to my main characters -.-;; Especially my heroine from my original story (the bottom of my bio will have link to my deviant art account in a few days if you want to see the picture referring to what I mean, be warned that if you do wish to go through the link that a vast majority of my things aren't on the site because they're at home XP I have to see it this site accepts having the link though. I changed my bio, but it has yet to show the change)
Chapter 15
It seemed as if everything had suddenly swirled away from her and she was being pushed through a turbulent space where vibrant colors pierced an otherwise dark space. There seemed to be no air to breath, yet she had no problems doing the function regularly and she floated as if in space, yet there felt to be some form of gravity locked onto her.
Over all the phenomena of traveling to the land of the gods was a strange one, one she doubted she would ever be able to explain.
'Genrou….'
vvvv
Tasuki gripped his tessen tightly, so much so that his knuckles began turning white. His jaw was clenched tightly, his fangs glistening slightly in what light filled the room, and his eyes shown with a ferocity that hadn't been found there since the war between Konan and Kutou had broken out two years before.
Chichiri stood next to him, holding his staff firmly, ready to cast a spell as soon as it was necessary. His reddish-brown eye shown with anticipation and uneasiness as he looked into the darkness just beyond the chamber they occupied.
Hikou stood with his front facing the monk but his head facing the entrance, an agitated look was evident on his face, but he was ready to fight. While he bore no weapon the moisture on the stone floor and the pool of water scarcely seen at the back of the room, the vast majority of it disappearing beneath the wall into an underground river, shifted about slightly. It was as if it knew it was to become a weapon within moments.
"Remember you two have limited use of your powers now," Hikou told the two seshi's.
"At least until Suzaku is freed," Chichiri said.
"But we don't know how long that will take," Hikou pointed out.
"I 'ave faith in Lily," Tasuki said between his teeth. He wasn't angry at them, he was simply geared up for the battle about to commence.
Chichiri nodded, "We all do."
The sound of claws scrapping on stone came to meet their ears. The creatures were not far away now and would soon be upon them.
"Any idea how many we're up against?" Tasuki asked.
"Not a clue," was the response he got from Hikou.
"Heh, doesn't matter anyway," the bandit smirked. Shifting his feet he made himself ready.
Glowing eyes of different shades came into the view of the three fighters. Loud growling and hissing greeted their ears along with the scratching of nails.
"Ready yourselves," Hikou half commanded as he crouched deeper into his knees to further ready himself for the action to come.
Tasuki clenched his tessen tighter. 'Take care of yourself Lily.'
vvvv
Before she knew it she was standing in a brightly lit stone chamber. White flamed torches flickered in a breeze she did not feel. The room seemed bland in décor, yet it held an aura of power, as if some great being had visited the place in the past.
"Where am I?" she asked herself aloud.
"In the home of Byakko of course," a mysterious voice said from behind her. Whipping around she came to see a translucent woman in her late teens looking at her with a soft smile. Her long hair was done up in a high ponytail and soft eyes glistening in the torch light. "I've been waiting for you."
Lily pointed to herself, "Me?" When the young woman nodded she asked, "Are you Kou- Kour- ah what did Hikou say your name was?"
The young woman laughed gently, "Kouran."
"Oh, right. Sorry," she apologized, giving a nervous smile.
"It's alright," Kouran told her, "But come, we have much to do."
"And not a lot of time to do it in," Lily added as she followed Kouran through a large pair of wooden doors. "Genrou, Hikou and Chichiri have to fight a mass of creatures on the other side to keep it safe for my return."
"Oh my," Kouran gasped, "Than we really must hurry. Fenrir will be unrelenting upon them." Her eyes showed a pain unrelated to that however, something she wished to try and hide.
"Did I say something wrong?" Lily asked.
Kouran looked at her in shock, but quickly realized she had let her emotions be seen. "No, it's alright."
"Does it have anything to do with Chichiri, or- what was his other name- Hojin?"
Kouran laughed once again, "Houjun."
"Sorry," she apologized again, "I'm so bad with names sometimes."
"I think everyone is," Kouran smiled.
Silence befell the two women as they walked down the corridor, the torches acting as their only light source. It seemed strange that a god would have such an ordinary way of lighting his residence, but then again torches usually weren't blue in color, which meant they had to be enchanted in some sort of way.
"Do you think he knows I'm here?" Lily asked, her voice sounding anxious. She played with the tail of the belt nervously as she awaited an answer, not sure if she really wanted to hear it.
Kouran did not answer right away. "I would not doubt it."
Lily sighed and placed her hand on her head. If she thought her headache had been bad before this was by far worse. It felt as if an explosion had ripped across her mind, but instead of destroying what was in its path it was torturing it horribly. She had been trying to ignore it, but with the powerful aura and knowing of the great strife to come very soon the feat seemed impossible.
"Are you alright?" Kouran asked while looking at her from over her shoulder.
Lily shook her head and closed her eyes, trying to will her migraine away. Her eyes snapped open when she walked into something. That something turned out to be Kouran, who was now facing her.
"What's wrong?" the worried ghostly woman asked.
"Really bad headache," Lily replied softly. She then realized something, "You're not surprised I bumped into you?"
Kouran gave her a confused look, but quickly smiled, "No, I supposed I figured a hero of gods would have such an ability."
"I'm no hero," Lily softly said, hand still clutching her head.
"Hero is merely a term given to those who do tasks others are unable or unwilling to do," Kouran smiled. "And it is best when those with the title do not desire it, it means they are not over confident, or ego bound."
Lily gave a small smile, "I guess."
Kouran motioned forward, "Come, let us keep moving. Perhaps the fresh air will make you feel better."
"Right," Lily said as she followed Kouran once more. 'She's so sweet,' she thought. 'No wonder Chichiri loves her.'
Sighing she placed her hand back at her side, 'I have to do this.' Her headache seemed to think otherwise, but she could not run now, especially because of a headache, even if it hurt her greatly.
'Stay alive all of you,' a tear rolled down her cheek, 'Stay safe Genrou. 'With one finger Lily removed the tear from her face and with a flick of her hand it was sent flying behind her.
The tear sparkled brightly as it flew through the air. It seemed as if the tear had a power of it own giving it light, as not even the torches could have eliminated it so. As it hit the ground it let out a ray of light, momentarily filling the area of the corridor with artificial sunlight.
It was such a miraculous thing, but not a soul gave witness to it.
As one battle begins another in on the brink of doing so. Does the tear mean anything? Will the boys be alright? Will Lily make it back alive?
Find out as the story progresses.
Please review.
Thanks!
