Brother's of Old
(I need more reviews for my chapters! Please people, I beg you to please tell other authors to read and review my fics! Thank you and Enjoy!)
Last Time, On Brother's of Old:
"I'm sorry to make you worry, but, I wanted to keep this away from you and the others."
Kyo said as he lifted Ami's face with his hands and wiped the tears away with his thumb.
"Why won't you open up?" Ami asked as she returned the embrace of her lover.
"Because… I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if you guys knew the truth you guys would leave me and fear me. I don't want to lose that." Kyo said in a crackling voice. Ami could see that Kyo wanted to cry but held it back because of his training as a martial artist.
"I guess I will tell you but I need you to call the others here also." Kyo said as he aised his hand and an opening appeared in the sphere, "Go through there and we'll wait for you to come back with the others. Be quick, understand?"
With a nod to show she understood she ran out of the opening to call the others.
Chapter 17: Kyo's Secrets part 2
Ami ran to house at breakneck speed using some of her senshi powers to get to Rei's house faster. Once back she found everyone awake. Ranma was the first to ask questions.
"Hey Ami, where's Kyo and where's that strong ki coming from?"
"It's from Kyo if your wondering and he told me to get you guys. Follow me." She said turning around and running off into the forest again, "Hurry!"
Everyone else looked at each other and all decided to follow. They ran for a good ten minutes before seeing the ki-sphere.
Everyone stopped and looked in amazement at the thing.
"Kyo? Are you there? I brought everyone here." Ami said as she walked towards the sphere. She touched the sphere and jumped back when a hole opened.
"Everyone, come to the field in the center of the sphere, and hurry because it drains my ki faster when I open a passage way for others." Kyo's voice said from nowhere in particular. So cautiously, one by one, everyone goes through the hole, and when the last person came through the hole closed up. Slowly the group walked toward the field and when they got top the edge of the forest, they saw Kyo there. Ami was the first to go and glomp Kyo with all her might… which was probably painful for Kyo because his face started to change color at a fast rate. Once Ami released him Setsuna was the one to speak.
"Mind to tell us what's going on here Kyo?" She asked with a stern face.
"That's what I called everyone of you here for. To explain." He replied.
"Well, you can start with what the hell is this thing." Nabiki said pointing to the sphere.
"This is a technique I was taught by monks with the Jusenkyo curse so they could talk with what ever spirits resided in their body."
"Care to simplify?"
"You see, by what the monks taught me, each human is born with one soul. A person with a Jusenkyo curse though, has two. This is from the fact that even though the springs gives a person the form of whatever drowned there last, this means the very first person to drown there and only the first person to drowned there. After that many more have drowned in those cursed pools and their souls were stuck there for all eternity." Kyo said explaining what the monks taught him, "But in certain special cases, if a person with a very strong spiritual connection or prowess falls into the spring, then tone of the souls that drowned there has a chance to merge into the body and act like a parasite to the host soul."
Ranma hearing this thinks about Ranko and shivers.
"And this technique was created by one of the monks to see, feel, and here from the parasite soul so they can learn from them… in most cases all they learned were martial arts techniques or how to banish demons and such."
Everyone face faulted.
"But wait a minute, didn't you say you never went to Jusenkyo when we were at the Tendo house? Then why did you learn this technique in the first place? It's not like you have another soul in you." Ranma asked with confusion plain as day in his voice.
"Who said anything about him needing other souls to learn this technique when he has us to worry about." The demonic voice said which shook Ami to her bones. She was scared of that voice, the face, and everything about it. She wanted to run away there and now but calmed down when Kyo embraced her in his arms and whispered , "it's going to be all right. I'll protect you."
(I'm not going into describing him again.) "Kyo, when did our private meeting become a social shindig?" it asked as it's demonic tongue jutted out from his mouth and licked the sides of the face plate.
"Shut up Tsumi. I won't stand for insulting my friends in front of me." Kyo said to the creature, "And you two can stop hiding, they're here because I want them to be."
Soon two more people came into view and presented themselves in front of the group.
One was glowing with white light and wore white clothing (In this case think of what black cat in the old days wore except for it was all white.) and jutting out from the back were two rod –like object that on closer inspection were made of hardened ki. The other was a mixture of a little of all the traits from Kyo, the demonic entity now known as Tsumi, and the other guy (I'll let your imagination go wild on this one.)
"Who are they Kyo?" Aino asked with hearts in her eyes staring at the second guy.
"They're me." Kyo said blatantly. There was a moment of silence.
"WHAT?" everyone stared at the two mystery men, and one demon.
"It's exactly like Kyo said." Tsumi said as he laughed, "we are the product of the experimentations Kyo had to go through. I am Tsumi no Shito (the apostle of sin), Tsumi for short. I am the face of evil, the nexus of all negative emotions that has been sent into him created me when his mind shattered."
The next to talk was the man with angel wings, "I am Mamori no shito (Apostle of protection), I am the aspect created by the strict discipline of protecting those oppressed and weak."
'Hmmm… although he may be a powerful ally, if Tsumi falls into the dead moon circus's hands, all my plans for crystal Tokyo would be in jeopardy.' Setsuna thought as she stared at Tsumi.
"I am tTsugunai no Shito (the apostle of repentance). Just call me Tsugunai, I am the combination of the other two melded into one."
"I know Nabiki, Kasumi, and Ranma already heard my talk about my time while he learned the neko-ken." Kyo said looking over to the three, "I guess it'me I told you the parts I left out."
He took a deep breath before continuing, "During the time I was being experimented on, I was trained in all aspects of war. Guns, swords, knifes, tactics, assassinations, everything. In the end they trained me to be the perfect soldier. A soldier that doesn't feel pain, can never die in battle, has no emotions what so ever."
"Wait a minute there! You say they made you have no emotions right? Then how can you be happy? Sad? You showed us these emotions and you say you don't have any? explain that!" Nabiki said in her usual emotionless tone.
"Well, like anything, humans aren't tools. So they couldn't completely cut off my emotions so they decided to pump me full of chemicals and implant microchips to my brain that helped suppress them." Kyo replied, "After a while my mind couldn't take it anymore and my psyche shattered. As anyone who understands psychology, to protect the welfare of one-self, our brain creates alternate personalities to protect its-self from the outside influence. Usually the mind may create hundreds or thousands, but amazingly mine created three. Each one probably came from my emotions during the time of my mental breakdown, all my negative emotions, my memories of the strict martial artist's code on killing, and a little mixture of both. I personally took out those suppression chips after I, or I should really say Tsumi, slaughtered and destroyed the place with every other person in it when I woke up out of there."
Everyone was speechless, what could they say? In some aspects, Kyo's life was a bigger hell than Ranma's. At least Ranma's could be resolved with some planning, but Kyo's could never be reversed.
"Can we get on with this? I want to get our conditions known before Kyo runs low on Ki." Tsumi said.
Kyo got on a stern face, "Fine I'll give you the conditions. One: I'll let you three out at least once a month. Another words I'll let you one week then another will come out one day the next day. That's one day for the three weeks in the month. Two: You will not harm any innocent people, and try to keep them safe when fighting in a crowded area. Finally, three: if I let all three of you out at one time, for a period of a month, you guys will stay inside until that time is up or an emergency arises."
"Fair enough conditions. I'm in."
"Ditto"
"I don't like the conditions too much, but I'll take it." Tsumi said as he hung his head at the fact that he won't be out too often as he liked.
"So we conclude this meeting and we'll talk at another time." As Kyo said this the Ki-sphere shrunk into his body and disappeared into his chest. Kyo let out a sigh before slowly falling.
Ami caught him on time and set him down gently as she laid his head on her legs and caressed his hair.
"Don't worry he's just asleep." Ami said as she heard everyone sigh in relief.
"That technique must have taken lots of ki to maintain and we didn't help it any." Minako said as she slumped down.
Setsuna looked over to Ranma, "Could you tell us more about your brother here?"
Ranma sighed and he began talking about what Kyo explained to him.
30 minutes later
Every single one of the senshi now wanted to obliterate everything that was Saotome Genma.
"How could he do that to his own flesh and blood as well as an innocent child!" Minako said with a fiery red aura surrounding her.
"In the name of the moon, we can't allow such a beast to go unpunished." Usagi said with tears in her eyes as well as untold blinding fury.
"Well, we'll talk about that later, but…" Ranma was interrupted by a rustling in the bushes. Everyone gets into a fighting position. Suddenly from the bush bursts Xian Pu with Elder Ku Long.
"Xian Pu finally find airen!" Xian Pu shouted as she tried to glomp onto Ranma, who expertly dodged her at the last moment.
"We've found you Son-in-law! You can't escape the Joketsuzoku so easily." Ku Long said as she threw chains and ropes as well as other binding items using Mu Tse's technique of the hidden weapons. Ranma dodged as many of them he could but with the shear number of them he suffered from minor niches and scratches coming from the weighed items at the ends of the said items.
"Ha is that all ya got ya dried up mummy?" Ranma boasted as he maneuvered around. After a while his body started to slow down, soon he could no longer move a muscle, "huh? What's going on? what's ya do to me you old bag of bone!"
"I already know you aren't going to come peacefully so I dipped everything I threw at you with paralyzing agents. You're too valuable to our tribe and must be brought in no matter what." The elder answered. She was about to go get Ranma when the others stood in her way.
"What do you whelps think you are doing?" She asked in a mocking tone.
"We won't let you take our beefcake!" declared the four senshi who were going to try and capture his heart, "He has had enough trouble from you and the others from Nerima and he's going to stay here."
Xian Pu took out her bonbori and dropped into a fighting stance, "You obstacle in Xian Pu's way to get airen, and obstacles must be destroyed." She started to run at the senshi, who unfortunately didn't have the time to transform so had to fight without their magical counterpart's powers. In this case, this was very bad. But before Xian Pu's bonbori could hit any of the targets, a hand covered in darkness stopped it. Xian Pu as well as Ku Long stared wide-eyed a the new arrival (at least in their view. Ne?)
"My, my, such a lively bitch we have here." Tsumi said as he smiled with glee as he gut punched her sending her flying through three trees and finally crashing into a boulder.
Xian Pu was out cold.
"So you didn't listen to my warning eh?" Ku Long's eyes-widened. Tsumi suddenly disappeared, the elder in a split second cane-hopped from where she stood to see Tsumi create a ten ft. crater where she previously stood.
"Wh-what are you?" she said as she got into an ancient stance.
"I'm Tsumi no Shito. A personality of Kyo, Ranma's Blood-brother!" Tsumi declared as he shot forward into battle.
