Dragon tale
"Mind if I come with you and not threw the portal?" asked Sika coldly towards Botan.
"Sure, no problem. Jump on" smiled Botan who now was on her oar. Sika gave a half smile and jumped in the back of Botan. The boys went threw the portal that afterwards disappeared and the fairy girl and the dragon girl started flying threw the sky.
Chapter 3: Dragon tear
They've reached the Rekai skies and landed in front of Koemna's palace. Botan smiled and Sika just sighed. The blue haired girl started walking and the dragon girl followed her. They've reached the big oak doors of Koemna's office and Botan winked towards Sika. Sika nodded and stepped aside covered by shadows so no one could see her.
Botan entered and put fast a scared and tired face. The boys were already there.
"Koemna-sama! Sika-san was kidnapped by demons! They attacked us! We couldn't fight and they kicked Sika-san hard in the stomach and she was unconscious. I managed to escape but they took her!" Botan faked that she was coughing and a little passing out but Kurama caught her.
"What?" Koemna changed in his teenager form and walked towards his top fairy girl. "Who took Sika?" yelled the ruler of Rekai.
"I think it was the same demon….the one that wants…you know…Sika-san…for you know what…and you know who he is and you know what the whole thing is about…" coughed Botan who was pretending very good.
"Oh no!" Koemna's nerves were leaving him. All the Rekai Detectives were looking at him so no one paid any attention to Koemna's desk. Sika took her chance and went with the shadows (yeah she could control shadows and no she wasn't a shadow demon but it was kind of her gift) and sat on his desk.
Koemna looked at his top fairy who was looking so desperate. Botan was just pretending but Koemna didn't realize that.
"Botan, you think he took her to…uhm…you know…" Koemna's voice trailed off.
"To rape me perhaps, Koemna? Would that be the word?" came Sika's voice from behind. Everyone turned to see her sitting in Koemna's chair with her feet crossed and over his desk.
Botan bursted into laughing and got up from Kurama's arms. She was laughing the whole heaven and hell out of her. Sika smirked.
"You! You almost gave me a heart attack!" yelled Koemna.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. Do you think I'll let myself get caught that easy?" said Sika and got up from the chair walking towards Koemna. She hugged him friendly and next thing you know she slapped him.
Everyone's eyes, without Botan's, who knew too well, and Hiei's, widened. Koemna put his left hand on his burning cheek.
"What was that for?" he yelled at Sika.
"For sending this bunch of idiots who killed my fucking dad!" she yelled back even louder than him (if that was possible).
"They did what?" Koemna turned to the Rekai Tentei's who were smiling innocently, without Hiei who was glaring.
"Yeah…Koemna…they killed him…" said Sika kind of too cold.
"Well, Sika…which one killed him?" asked Koemna glaring at each other. He was pretty scary.
"The Jagan eye idiot" said Sika.
"Hiei!" yelled Koemna.
"Hn" said the koorime.
"I think we've talked this some other time but it seems not to get into you! What have I told you not to kill humans?" yelled a very pissed off Koemna.
"Hn"
"Koemna" said Sika and put a hand on Koemna's shoulder. That seemed to calm him immediately.
"We can't change what happened and you have part of your fault. Now let's calm down and tell me why did you send them after me?" Sika continued with a calm voice.
Koemna sighed and turned back to his desk sitting on his chair.
"Well…your little prank is almost as real as the reason because of which I called you" said Koemna.
Botan's eyes widened and Sika didn't say or do a thing.
"What do you mean?" asked Sika.
"Well…we had a little problem with our prisons and…uhm…" Koemna trailed off.
"You mean he escaped?" Sika asked in an angered voice.
Koemna nodded and before he could say a thing Sika was on her belly on top of his desk. She had in her right hand the collar of Koemna who was still in his teenager form.
"You are pitiful, Koemna. You couldn't even keep a damn demon in a damn cage" she hissed and Koemna gulped.
"Sorry…" he whispered and only Sika, Yusuke, Kurama and Hiei heard because of their demon parts.
"Koemna, sorry doesn't make a difference. You know how hard it was to catch that jerk and you also know what he wants from me although I still don't know why" Sika said.
"Sika, please calm down and don't kill me, okay?" said Koemna.
Sika sighed and let go of him jumping from his desk and landing besides Botan with her face towards Koemna.
"Well, prince, what do we do?" she asked calm.
"Uhm…first of all I'll have the Rekai Tenteis protecting you…" but Koemna was cut off.
"No" Sika simply said.
"Why?" Koemna and Botan asked in one voice.
"A fox demon, a fire and ice demon, a descendent of a demon and a simple human cannot protect me from him. They will end up dead" Sika said earning a sigh, a death glare and two yells form each member of the Rekai Tentei.
"Sika, I know he is strong but my team showed that they are strong enough to beat him if he tries to put a finger on you" Koemna sighed.
"He'll try to put more than a finger on me, Koemna. Can they protect themselves from him? I know they may be able to protect me, although I don't need it, but will they be able to protect themselves?" Sika said.
Koemna froze. He knew Sika was wise and she put others before her, but he didn't know she could think like that.
"Well…uhm…" Koemna was cut off.
"Sure we are!" yelled Yusuke. Sika turned and looked deeply in his eyes. The detective felt an odd sensation. The girl was reading his mind but he didn't seem to notice that. She blinked once and smirked.
"I see they are pretty good fighters" she said to Koemna who smiled proudly.
"But…" Sika started sadly, "Not good enough to protect themselves because they don't know what friendship really is and they aren't in your team because they want to be" she continued and everyone looked shocked. Hiei blinked two times before regaining his coldness.
"What do you mean, Sika?" asked Koemna.
"The fox and the koorime are in your team because they don't want to go to Spirit Prison. The human is here for no reason and the boy is here because he has a thing for killing bad demons. Although their reasons maybe good they aren't strong enough to make them fight at their full potential" Sika said in a wise voice.
Koemna, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Botan and even Kurama were wide eyed. Hiei disappeared from the window sill where he was and appeared in front of the dragon girl. He was just one inch shorter than her.
Sika felt him trying to enter her mind so she allowed a telepathic conversation start between them
'Why do you say that, onna?' he coldly asked looking in her eyes. He couldn't see anything. She knew how to hide everything she felt, so did he.
'I saw it in your friend's eyes and now I see it in your eyes' she answered with no feeling.
'If you think you know us that well by just looking in our eyes you are wrong, onna. The reasons are right as you said them but with each fight we learn what friendship is' he answered back.
'Maybe you are right, koorime, just maybe. But you aren't strong enough. You fight without thinking of what would happen if you would lose' Sika thought to him sadly.
'We don't think at what would happen just because it makes us more powerful…to think that we could win and when we think like that we win. It's simple. Why don't you get the point and let us protect you?'
'Because I don't need protection and I don't want to put in danger any of your lives…even though you were the one that killed my father…' Sika answered her voice being sad.
Hiei didn't like this sadness.
'How can a human be your father? I don't smell any human blood in your blood'
'My real father, died when I was just a few months old so I have no memory of him. Same happened with my mother. My father was the best dragon demon and my mother was a great fire demoness. They both died protecting me. The man you killed was the best friend of my father, and he and his wife raised me as their daughter so I call them 'mom' and 'dad' because they were always there for me' Sika cleared the situation coldly.
Silence came, but Sika could feel that Hiei was still in her mind.
'Why did you kill him?' Sika asked after a few seconds.
'Hn' Hiei said and ended their telepathic connection. He exited Sika's mind. They were still looking in each other's eyes when suddenly…
"Fine" said Sika towards Koemna but she was still looking in the koorime's eyes.
"What?" asked Koemna.
"They may protect me" she said and turned her gaze to the prince.
"Finally" sighed Koemna. "Yusuke and Kuwabara can watch after you during school and Hiei after school, okay Sika?" continued the prince.
"I don't care. As long as they keep their noses out of my business" Sika answered.
"Sika…you know that him being free and in Makai means the end of your night escapades, right?" asked Koemna.
"Yeah, yeah…" Sika said not caring a lot about what he said. Then an idea popped in her mind. "He is in Makai?" she asked Koemna who nodded.
"You sometimes are a genius Koemna!" said Sika.
"Why?" Koemna asked blinking.
"Because him being in Makai means that he thinks I'm there! He thinks everything is as he let it be! Maybe he even thinks I am as weak as I used to be!" Sika said in a cold voice but deep down she was happy.
"Don't over joy yourself!" said Koemna.
"Whatever. Now I need to go back. Mom is worried and I think she cried her eyes out because of dad…" said Sika sadly but still keeping her cold mask.
Koemna sighed.
"Well, Sika, say hi to Kali from my part, will you?" he asked politely.
"Yeah sure. Good-bye" she said and turned. Koemna made a sign with his hand and motioned to the Rekai Tenteis to follow her.
The girl walked outside where a portal was waiting (yeah Koemna made it). She jumped in it and landed softly in a park. After a few seconds Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama and Hiei appeared.
"This is kind of…uhm…let's say somewhere near my home" she said and started walking. Her pace was slow and tired. Sika wanted to hear every breathe of every being. She was a dragon demon so she had the gift of tongue, that meant she could understand and talk to each and every being.
An eagle was flying above their heads.
'He escaped…our doom is near but you must take care of the three worlds! Take care and make us all proud! Me and all the others will talk about you to your parents! We will meet them after we die but you will be eternal if you defeat this time, Sika!' was what the eagle said.
Suddenly Sika stopped dead in her tracks. She could feel Kali's blood smell. Yusuke and the others stopped to. Kurama came to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
She didn't say a thing.
'If she too died I won't forgive myself!' she yelled in her mind as she started to run so fast that only Hiei's Jagan could see her. Kurama gave him a look and Hiei started after Sika.
'I can't allow her to die!' Sika yelled as she reached her house. She kicked the door open to see Kali laying on her back on the couch and a shadow demon above her with a knife at her throat.
Sika growled as she approached.
"The dragon finally comes" the shadow demon hissed as it got off Kali which was shaking. The demon walked towards Sika who was burning with anger.
"Come, dragon" he said and reached for Sika's hand just to feel something against his neck. It was cold and metal. The demon blinked and saw Hiei pointing his katana at his throat.
"You can't even take care of you, yasha. You need a pitiful demon to take care of you" the shadow demon laughed evilly.
"Get out of here, Hiei" Sika hissed.
"Hn" he said but didn't move.
"I said GET OUT OF HERE NOW" Sika growled towards the koorime. Hiei saw the anger in her eyes and sheathed his katana backing up a little.
The girl took her hands out and now they were something like 2 inches in front of her stomach. Her eyes were still opened and she found the gaze of the shadow demon.
In her open fists appeared fire and her eyes were shining with pure anger. They looked like death and only hate could be seen in them. Black and red strikes were even more pronounced. Sika put her hands in front pointing at the shadow demon. Her black and red nails were now black and red claws. The fire went out and charged for the demon. Sika smirked and the shadow thing disappeared in a blur of fire. It was burned like fried chicken.
Sika took a deep breathe and went to her mother. Kali was now standing in a sitting position on the couch. Sika sat on the couch on Kali's right and put an arm on the woman's left shoulder.
"Sika" Kali whispered. Her voice was so frightened.
"Mom….what happened?" asked Sika.
"It came…searching for you…" Kali found some courage and turned to her daughter with a stern look.
"Did he escape?" Kali asked and Sika nodded.
"Did the shadow demon say anything about him?" asked Sika.
"Only that he wants you" Kali answered.
"That's not something new…" Sika mumbled.
"Who is he?" asked Kali who noticed Hiei.
"He is Hiei. One of the Rekai Tenteis" said Sika but Kali cut her off.
"You got caught?" demanded her mother.
"No, mom, NO! What the hell! I don't get caught that easy! I went to find who killed dad and I met the Rekai Tenteis. They already killed the demons who murdered dad…they said they've found them…and then came Botan and I went with her to Koemna who told me about his escape. Koemna wanted me to have…uhm…let's tell them bodyguards…and me and the Rekai Tenteis, we were on our way here when I felt your blood and I came here running. Hiei followed me, I guess, and here we are" Sika lied to her mom.
Okay it wasn't a big lie but you know…what would the pour woman say if she founded out that the ones that killed her husband are those who have to protect her daughter?
Sika hugged her mother who felt asleep in her daughter's arms.
"Stay here, Hiei" Sika whispered to the boy who hn-ed.
The dragon yasha took her mom and carried her to her room. She placed Kali on her bed and tucked her in kissing her cheek before leaving.
"Well…I think the others should be here by now" Sika said to Hiei when she came back to the living room. Before one of them could blink Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama came. Yusuke wanted to yell something but Sika anticipated that and in a second was in front of him, her hand on his mouth to stop him talking.
"Mom sleeps. Shut up" she whispered threatening. Yusuke nodded so Sika let him go.
The boys sat on the couch, except Hiei who was on a window sill. Sika went in the kitchen and brought some tea cups, after that she told them what happened.
"Who is this 'he' we heard about?" Kurama asked calmly.
Sika sighed and sat down in an armchair that was in front of the couch. She crossed her legs and started her tale.
"This 'he' is a stupid youkai who doesn't want to let me fucking live. He is a wolf youkai and he has this stupid possession problem. He thinks I am his fucking woman. He is powerful, strong and all the crap, so it was pretty hard to catch him, but when I finally did I threw him in Spirit Prison but with Koemna's stupidity he escaped" Sika told in a calm low voice assuring herself that she won't wake her mom.
"And what is so threatening about him?" asked Yusuke.
"It is not about him, it is about his friends. Almost all shadow demons are on his side. I mean those that aren't on mine. He has connections with almost every kind of demon, so he has a pretty strong army of youkais that is on my tail" Sika answered.
"And why is he on your tail?" asked Kuwabara. Sika sighed.
"Because, baka, he thinks I'm his!" yelled Sika in a whispered voice.
"Oh" Kuwabara finally got the point.
"I think we'd be better get going now. Hiei will stay with you, okay?" said Kurama. Sika nodded and he, Yusuke and Kuwabara left.
"Well, let me show you your room, okay?" Sika asked Hiei.
"Hn. Onna, I don't sleep inside" he answered and disappeared outside.
"Baka…" whispered Sika and went upstairs to her own room.
She opened the door and went to her desk. Sika sat down on the black chair and opened a drawer. She took out a black book and put her left hand on the front cover. On the book it was written with red: "Sika's dragon tale".
The dragon girl sighed and opened the book. Kali and Mike gave her this book when she was 5 years old. They said to her that it was from her father. Sika loved to read the stories in it. In the book was the life-story of her dad and mom. She loved it so much. Usually she read it again and again and at night, she would dream about it. Sika knew how her parents looked from the pictures that were in the book. She sighed and opened the book turning it to the first page.
Meanwhile Hiei was searching for Sika's room window. When he founded it he sat in a tree branch that was exactly outside of it. He heard a sigh from inside and turned to see the girl opening a book.
'What's this onna doing?' he asked himself.
Sika was reading again how her parents met and how her dad (the book was told by her father) felt lost in her mother's crimson eyes. She smiled sadly when she saw the picture of her younger dad looking surprised to see a girl with fire hair and fire eyes.
"Dad…mom…" she whispered as she touched the picture. Her eyes were teary but she would never let the tears escape.
She turned the book to the last but one page. The picture was sad and made Sika feel the pain of her parents. Her father was running, with the book in his hands. Her mother was in front of him with her like a baby in her arms. She turned this page too and saw her dad pushing her mother, her and the book threw a portal. On that page was written with crimson letters: I had one last thought…but I couldn't write it to you…Sika…
"What thought dad? What did you want to tell me? What?" she asked nobody but Hiei heard her. Her voice was teary and he knew how she felt.
Sika was looking at the last picture and a tear came down her cheek. When it reached the edge of her face the tear became a ruby gem.
That was a dragon's tear.
"A dragon's tear becomes a ruby when the dragon is sad…it becomes a diamond when the dragon is happy…it becomes a pearl when the dragon is…" she trailed off.
Sika didn't believe in the last word. The last word was 'love'. Yeah. The tear of a dragon became a pearl when the dragon was loved. But Sika was never truly loved. It was true that her adoptive parents loved her very much, but it wasn't that kind of love that would make a dragon's tear turn into a pearl.
"No…the last part isn't true…a dragon's tear never becomes a pearl…at least mine will never become…" she said as she got up from the desk, closing the book. She took some pajamas from her wardrobe and went into the bathroom. She took a very hot shower and than got dressed in those black and red pajamas. When she came back, Sika slipped under her covers and one last tear came from her left eye. The ruby was laying on her pillow sleeping near her.
-I know this is kind of sad at the end…but I had to make it like this…that is what I felt in that moment…gomenasai…and I think it's a good moment to end it, right? Please read and review! I really want to know what you think about it! if you read it please review! ja ne-
