Chapter IV Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure

Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

The monk gently started to stitch the comatose fox watching her skin fuse back together afterwards. He knew she was a Kitsune no true fox had four tails or could live through these kind of injures. He worked through the night tending to the various scorch marks that surrounded these wounds , it was tough work, she had been through quite a lot he thought. It was probably a priestess a very powerful one at that judging from the foxes current state. She tossed and turned through the night mumbling incoherently.

"Whatever happened to her must have scared her to death." he thought.

"May she have good luck and safe passage in the world of her dreams," He prayed.

Rain's dream

In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

It was dark , an eerie kind of darkness that shook at her entire being to her fiery core.

She panicked and set herself ablaze walking through the darkness clutching the hilt of her father's sword. She heard the bowstring pull , she heard it release and froze in shock. A neko blocked the arrow from reaching the foxes yelling something Rain was way to pissed to hear. Her stance was strange … for a cat …it was like shinabi ready and staff master mixed. The weird thing was that on her back was a longsowrd most demons of the cat clan used wasaki or assassin blades. The cat dressed in black and wore on her back a huge rising bird witch burn of fire. Two tails now that was rare that meant she had power or was of royal or noble blood. Her hair was black but striped of the purest silver , it hit Rain then that she was a shadow cat and she was crazy . Rain didn't even know her but could tell. She disappeared just as quickly as she appeared.

Kikyo's words haunted her over and over she heard them each time louder ,She was hit and her opponent laughed in her face. All Rain could do is run so she did trying to escape the pain when all of a sudden the geisha was in front of her arrow loaded and aimed at her face. Rain grabbed at her to stop her , some unknown force keeping her from doing so . The arrow was released.


And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
.

Real World

She jerked up screaming mid afternoon. Changing into her much more powerful form she looked around relishing she was not in the woods , but in some … sniff … sniff … human's hut. She felt fully healed and refreshed all except for one lone scare on the inside of her shoulder from where Kikyo pumped her ruthless power into her. It would be a symbol of her undying hatred!

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
.

"Can I help you?" a monk asked coming inside.

"Yes are you the one who helped me?"

"Oh you're the Kitsune… yes I did. How are your wounds?"

"Good. Thank you. I must be going now but I swear on my honor as a Gunji that I will repay your kindness somewhere down your family line." with that she turned away and walked out the door .

What sight to grace her eyes that graced her eyes was Yoko standing in all his glory on the limb of a strong tree a slight breeze in his hair , making a come over here jester with his finger. She ran to him morphing into fox form for greater speed , so did he running to her with equal longing in his eyes . They nuzzled and rubbed up agent each other severing the feel of being with each other .

"I've missed you lover." ,Rain confessed in a voice she used only with him.

"And I you my foxy lady." They stayed like that together in the summer sun. Rain glanced back at the monk who watched them under the roof of his house in silent thanks a wicked smile spreading across her lips as she took off running making Yoko give chase through the valley and woods laughing all the way.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
.

That night anyone who was awake could swear by the moon and the stars in the ski that they saw them running together chasing the moonlight.
