This war of Mine

Chapter 3: Regia

No-one really knows much about Regia do they? Just that he hates humans and doesn't believe they deserve to exist. Takashiro said he killed the Elders and members of the Giou clan that night by summoning duras and breaking the barrier so they could get in, he said he killed Yomi and possible did something to the Elder Alga. I've asked everyone aside from Takashiro-san now what they know about Regia and it's mostly Takashiro's opinion or a bad experience with him in a previous life, like Tskumo in this one, he could have died if it weren't for the doctor.

Yuki sits on the garden bench thinking about, the topic that continues to plague his dreams. He currently is only dreaming about things that involve Regia or Yomi.

I want to know more of what happened between me and Luka but they seem to be pushed out of the way by these memories and yet they don't come through clear at all. It seems I will have to ask Takashiro after all and he is here today I think.

Yuki stands up to go and visit Takashiro's office, when he sees Luka walking towards him. A smile spreads across his face before he can help it, Luka makes him feel better by just being here with him, and unfortunately Yuki doesn't know how to show him, how important he is.

"Heading somewhere?" Luka asks as he approaches where Yuki stands. "Yes, I'm going to see Takashiro, will you come with me Luka?" He asks, knowing that if Luka is there he will be able to ask Takashiro anything. Luka simply nods and as he turns to head to Takashiro's office he asks "Why the visit, is something wrong?" It was rare for Luka to pry but he had been curious since Sairi played Yuki up, what was going on. "Hmmm, truth be told I'm not sure what it is yet, right or wrong but one thing I know is that its real, I can just feel it... Ha-ha does that make sense?" Yuki looks at Luka, "I think so, and Takashiro will help you make more sense of it then?" Yuki nods and smiles in response.

At least I hope so.

Sitting on the large sofa in front of Takashiro's desk, Yuki remembers how much responsibility Takashiro must have even right now, 1000 years after the war with Regia began and he still helps the everyday people as it were. Scribbling away at documents here and there, Yuki is beginning to wonder if Takashiro has forgotten he and Luka are there. However an annoyed sigh from Luka quickly, gets his attention.

"Ah I'm sorry Luka was me doing my job boring you? Your welcome to do it in my place and I will watch Yuki in yours?" he said sarcastically, but Luka just tutted.

"I'm sorry, you're so busy. I can come back another time." Yuki went to leave his seat but Takashiro held up a hand, keeping him where he was. Takashiro made his way over to the seat in front of Yuki and smiled as he sat down "So what can I help you with, Yuki?".

Straight to the point, that's Takashiro, in that case I'll jump right in too I guess...

"Well... I've been having dreams of some of my past lives, mostly the second and first I think..." Yuki said glancing at Luka. "Oh is there something you need me to clarify?" Takashiro asked having guessed Yuki's purpose. "Yes, well the thing is, these memories I have are very old and quite unclear still even though I've been dreaming about them a few times..." Yuki paused "Yes that does happen with some memories, remember Yuki your memory is simple spell work not a Duras Healing the cells to keep them solid like mine".

So much for jumping in Yuki, get to the point already...

"Takashiro I'm sorry to ask so bluntly but, did we meet in a life before the war with Regia? Or maybe around that time?" Yuki finally asked but Takashiro looked confused. "I'm not sure what you mean? Your first life was a member of the branch family of the Giou clan that was mostly related to Alga the leader of the Giou clan at the time. The war with Regia had started only a year before you were born but you, by the age of 15-16 you had already found a way to protect us from some of Regia's worse summons, and God's light name came from then. As for a life before that one, I am unaware of one" Takashiro finishes and waits for Yuki to speak.

Well that's what most people said about my first life but I know I had another one... I'll have to tell him about my dreams with Regia.

"I've been having dreams with you and Regia in them, most of the time it's you two chatting between yourselves, sometimes there's the head of the Giou clan, Alga. I know it's weird but I at least know the dreams about Regia are real because some of them come through clear" Yuki was interrupted by Takashiro's question "What does he do? Does he ask for something?" sounding a little worried towards the fact that Yuki was having dreams of Regia; Takashiro let his smile slip and was straight to the point even more so now.

"Uhm... He asked me for a pen once?" Yuki said simply answering his question straight forwardly. "He is like an old fashioned Kanata... with long hair; they look the same aside from that really. Oh... I know..." "Yes Yuki" Takashiro waits to see what he has thought of. "He calls me by a name that only my close family should know; it's kept secret because it shows how close to the Giou leader I am or something?" Yuki says quickly.

"Yes that's right... royal branches of the clan were given special names at birth by the leader and then they told those they trusted, I have one and so does Regia. It seems these are memories not simple dreams" Takashiro states.

What was the name again? What did Regia call me?

"Yes, that's it... he called me I think 'Yomiyuki'..." Yuki said doing his best to remember. He looked at Takashiro expecting him to still look confused or worried but now he just looked shocked, pure shock in-fact was obviously the only response Takashiro had.

Huh? Why did he freeze up? Is Regia calling me that name a bad thing? But wasn't that my name... surely that help...

"I'm sorry Yuki but that's just not possible..." Takashiro coughed out eventually when Ibuki, Yuki's aunt asked him if he was alright. "Uhm... why not?" Yuki asked confused and wanting answers had perhaps made Yuki a little impatient. "Yomiyuki was the Alga Birth-name for one Yomi Giou, Do you understand? Yomi passed away the night Regia betrayed the Giou clan, He killed her himself" he stated. "I know but..." to Yuki surprise Takashiro's smile came back "Since Regia is half-human there was always a chance her soul survived but, even if it had done it would have taken years for her to reincarnate and her soul could go anywhere and be anyone. She wouldn't remember what happened and would most likely be living a normal life; I like to hope that is the case".

Wow I feel like I've been shut down completely... but he is right, if I was born as Yomi I wouldn't be able to be reborn now unless...

"Could I, I mean could Yomi have used a Spell to be reborn sooner or something? I mean or maybe left her memories to my soul?" Yuki had no idea what he was saying now but he had to figure something out because he felt like he'd beaten Takashiro up and was leaving with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Takashiro smiled and said "I have to admit I don't know where those memories came from and if you remember anything else based on Regia please let me know but for now, I'm afraid your dreams will have to wait Yuki. The Elders want me to perform a ceremony earlier than planned just because it's noisy or something? Anyway my point being I don't think you should worry unless the dreams we know now are somehow memories, become nightmares. Do you understand Yuki?" Yuki nodded his head and smiled at Ibuki as she helps Takashiro into his coat.

He is probably right... I've told him what else can I do now? It's not like there is anyone else I can ask. I guess for now I'll have to rely on myself, and take the doctor up on his sleeping pill idea.

"Regia... I know I asked you before but are you sure about this? If the Elder Miko finds out you know... well"

"She doesn't like me, I know since when is that different from the rest of the clan?" Regia states simply.

Surrounded quietly by the night sky, the hidden lake near the base of the hills, named the pure hills, Yomi had named the lake the pure waters, which suited its healing properties.

"I always thought you would hate me" Yomi says simply. "Sorry did you say something?" Regia mumbled back not really listening anymore.

You have every reason to after all. I mean I could have said something, anything... to let you know you weren't alone... instead I... was scared that even you would be afraid. Maybe that man was right, maybe I spread pain, I should always be alone!

By this point Regia had long noticed his companion, Yomi was acting weird. Though she had warned him not to touch her if she seemed strange, he did so anyway knowing something bad would happen if not. He had took hold of both her arms, expecting her to resist but she simply looked up at him in surprise, tears streaming down her face. Without thinking Regia did something surprising them both, he hugged her tight to his chest, to the point she could barely breath and he said "I told you Yomiyuki, you don't have to hide from me anymore, so it's fine... don't think you are causing me anything I wouldn't have lived through otherwise".

That's right... Regia you always know what to say... even when we were children and I should have been the one helping you... a adult soul in a child human form. If it wasn't necessary to stay alive I probably would have never meet you or Takashiro and yet you say I am helping you, everyone...but I caused this, all of it is my fault...

Yomi looks up at Regia who has loosened his arms "I know you are worried what Alga and others will think, so I won't tell them but at least if you need to complain, you can now complain to me right?" Regia half asks half orders. Yomi moves so fast and quietly that he questions if what happened actually did or he would if it weren't still for the feeling left on his lips. A quick peck, full of her feelings and to show him how grateful she is "Thank you Regia, I love you" she finishes as Regia kisses her back but much more passionately.

Whoa!

Yuki has not only awoken from a strange dream but also is on the floor, looking up at a very confused Sodom who is flying above him to check what he is up to. "Owwie... My back" Yuki said as he sat up, Luka walked in surprised to see Yuki on the floor he ran over to him in seconds. "Are you alright Yuki, what happened?" "Ha-ha, yeah I'm fine sorry Luka, my last memory was that confusing I went flying ha-ha" Yuki continued to laugh and leaned his head on Luka's shoulder.

I don't know what me and Regia were talking about in that dream but what I do know is, I am her I am Yomi. I don't know how or why Regia and Takashiro don't even know... but I'm going to find out and if Takashiro is too busy to help, then...

Yuki looks up at Luka and smiles but with one look lets Luka know he is about to ask him something important. "Luka can I ask for a favour, it not easy moreover it'll probably be dangerous" "Ask, what is it Yuki?" as far as Luka was concerned it was already a yes.

Okay well...

"I need you to take me to Regia, but I also need the general class that follow him distracted" Yuki spoke seriously and just as he thought Luka didn't even ask why, he trusted Yuki knew what he was doing. "I will ask that girl and the zweilt with the gun to help, they can distract for the longest, I'll also ask the hot-head" This made Yuki laugh, Luka knew their names but still called them by nicknames they hated to annoy them, especially Toko. "If you have to tell them say I'm asking, and make sure they don't tell anyone what we're doing or well it won't happen, Takashiro will be mad at me but I have to do something" Yuki said.

Luka left the room to talk to the zweilts, he thought would best be as General duras chow as he put it, worrying Yuki slightly as he got dressed.

I know he'll have no reason to listen to me but maybe if I tell him what I told Takashiro maybe he will know more... or at least want to know more. I'm asking a lot of Luka and the zweilts but if I don't act on my instinct what else do I have right know? I'm going to find out what these dreams are about and if that means asking Regia, so be it!

Ha-ha so should have action in the next chapter, but lots of Regia so if you like his character chapter 4 will be one for you :) see you next time!
