Chapter 11
Jiru woke up with a start. 'Man that was one heck of a dream!', she thought. She then remembered what the dream-Chichiri had asked her. "So have you had that white streak in your hair for long, no da?" Jiru had no idea what he was talking about but grasped some strands of her hair and examined them.
Nope, no white here., she said "Though there is some weird scriggly stuff in it, nope no..."Jiru didn't finish her sentence as she saw some whiteness."No this can't be right", her voice gradually increasing in volume. She found a mirror and walked up to it. "OH MY GOD...NO!" She screamed.
What Jiru saw in her reflection was indeed a white streak in her hair. She started to pace frantically but she tripped on something...more like someone, actually. It turned out that Tasuki was still sleeping (or knocked out...which ever works best.) from earlier.
Chichiri woke up from his own bed. "What a strange dream, no da." Then he heard a girlish scream. "I don't know why I know this but...Jiru finally checked her hair out, no da." He got up and walked out of the room. "Tai-yun-jun will soon shed a light on this and everything will be all right, no da." He didn't really believe what he told himself but it worked for the moment.
"What do you mean it's not going to be all right?!" cried Tasuki.
Chichiri, Jiru, and Tasuki, who had been glaring at Jiru earlier, were all assembled at Tai-yun-jun's meeting room...thing.
"What I mean Tasuki", said a rather irritated Tai-yun-jun. "is that it's not all right anymore! If Kita had been here everything would be fine but she's not, so get used to it."
Jiru looked up at hearing Kita's name. Chichiri spoke up. "If you don't mind my asking, who is this Kita, no da?"
Jiru opened her mouth to reply. "She's my..." But Tai-yun-jun had cut her off. "Kita is Jiru's sister, Chichiri." Chichiri nodded in understanding while Jiru looked sharply up at her and shook her head. "I am sorry to disappoint you, but she is not my sister. We are merely best friends who seem to have many things in common."
Tai-yun-jun sighed. She knew this was going to happen. "No my dear. It is you who is sadly mistaken. You see Kita is your sister and I am your mother."
She paused letting it all sink in. These were the reactions that she she recieved: Chichiri was shocked by ALL means. His mouth (on his mask of course) was opened so wide that one could shove a jelly-filled donut in it. (AN: I don't know how a jelly-filled donut could fit through a mask, but it works.)
Tasuki gave Tai-yun-jun a look of utter disgust. Wondering what kind of person/creature would want to have babies with her.
And Jiru, well, Jiru was pretty shocked, to say the least, but couldn't quite believe what she had heard. "That's impossible.", she said. "If you are my mother and if Kita really is my sister...then prove it." Though she didn't really know how it could be proved except through a genetic test but the era they were in seemed too ancient for that kind of stuff.
"Would you like to go back in time and see me give birth?" Tai-yun-jun replied. (AN: The Miracle of Life! )
For some reason Jiru did not doubt Tai-yun-jun's power anymore as she declined. "Ugh...no I think it's all right now, thanks anyway."
Chichir cut in. "Well, who is the father, no da?" Chichiri was way too caught up in this...(it's just like a soap opera!) Tai-yun-jun looked at Chichiri. "That's a good question Chichiri." Chichiri gave her a winning smile.
"Let's see...about twenty years ago a prophecy came up, in which it stated that in twenty years a great evil power shall return and take over the entire Universe unless two select godly Beings were to be reincarnated. Then they shall save all mankind. (just a brief description of the Prophecy.) I figured that it might have to deal with me. That I would have to give birth to these two beings.
"You see, around the dawn of time, before the Four Gods, there were three Ultimate Beings who ruled this universe together. One was Kitara who could communicate with animals and use her strength for just about anything. The other one was Jirune who could heal endangered souls, she also had many forms of communication. She would touch something or someone and could instinctively know how they would feel. The third Being was myself. We all were actually sisters."
"Some evil force came and those two sacrificed themselves to keep the peace against an evil force. Leaving me to give birth to the nations and creating Suzaku and the other gods. But before Kitara and Jirune died they became engaged. Kitara fell in love with a wily bandit with red hair and fangs. Jirune fell in love with a blue-haired monk with magical casting spells. When they died these warriors were distraught. Together they mourned and they came to me to be reborn at a later time period. I agreed. They sealed a pact and killed each other by their own hands."
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Wait just a minute hear!", cried Tasuki, letting his mind speak, which was really not a good thing. "What I'm wonderin' is who would want to kiss you..let alone marry you! Jeez you're so old and ugly!..." Tasuki paused confused. "Chichiri is it just me or do those guys resemble us?"
Chichiri, who was just as perplexed, nodded. "This does sound unusual, no da.", he agreed. "But this would also explain the mysterious happenings going on. We may be the reincarnations of those engaged warriors, no da."
Tasuki shook his head. "Heck, I'm not marrying anyone. Plus, I can't be reincarnated because that guy fell in love and became a pansy...and I am no pansy" Chichiri just looked at him and shook his head.
Jiru shook her head as well and didn't say anything. 'That's not right.', she thought. 'How on earth could Kita and I be the reincarntations of ultimate beings. Then again if this lady is my mother then that would mean that we are sisters!...Weird. huh?'
Tai-yun-jun continued. "As I was saying. I transformed myself into a more younger younger version of myself. Since most of the people of this Universe knew what this "other" form looked like." (she liked to visit the villages and the people just knew who she was.) "So I thought it would be more convenient if I found a different universe. A universe where no one knew me."
"The universe where I was born." Jiru said calmly. Chichiri noticed how uneasy Jiru was despite her serene exterior, and put his hand on her shoulder for comfort. Normally he would just give a kind word to someone he had just met. But this...this was different it was like he knew her...hence the reincarnation connection.
Tai-yun-jun nodded. "My transformation was that of what I used to look like. Around the age of twenty with snow white hair. Once there I had to quickly make my move because I had exactly one year for this body to survive in this place."(it's the atmosphere...it kills).
"In other words." Replied Jiru "You had to find a mate."
"That's just like a woman for ya." Tasuki stated. "Always coming out and takin' what they want!" With a flip of Tai-yun-jun's had Tasuki was flung against the wall.
After glaring for a moment at Tasuki, she looked back at Jiru and nodded. "That's what we heavenly beings do. When we feel that we are endangered...we create more gods. Plus my blood was needed to give a rebirth to my sisters...they and now you are the only ones who can kill it off."
Jiru hesitated before speaking. "So does that mean we are the true essences of these past goddesses?"
"Oh no one is my child." Tai-yun-jun responded. "You are half-mortal, demi-goddesses. Though there may be times when you will get a flashback every now and then, which will allow you to experience your past life. The same goes with Chichiri and Tasuki here. They may be reincarnated as well but they are not the same, though they may look the same."
Jiru nodded, now thinking back on Chichiri's question. "So who is our father?"
"Well since there are no gods in your universe I had to find a random man with strong spiritual powers. Well I found him, we met and..."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! We don't want to get into any details here!" Jiru was practically freaking out. Tai-yun-jun looked up from her little reverie. "Hmm?.. Oh yeah...shortly after...you know what...," Tai-yun-jun was now twiddling her fingers. "he died. Which was to be expected because I needed his spirit energy to pass on to you girls even though I knew you were going to inherit some power. You two needed a little extra energy that's all."
Jiru looked down, ashamed at having been born by an unknown father and having him die for her and Kita's birth."
Tai-yun-jun tried to comfort her. "I know it sounds awful but it had to happen for the sake of saving all of the universes. This evil was spreading at a quick pace. I still feel bad for using him like that."
Jiru understood what she was told. "I know...it's just hard for me to grasp that's all."
Tai-yun-jun nodded. "Now during the nine months that I was pregnant I slept in the back room of a church in order to gain more energy for you two."(AN: Wow! inherited energy and given energy all at once?!...these chicks must be pretty darn powerful!) "I woke up right when I came in labor and gave birth to you two. I name you Jiru, after Jirune, and I named Kita after Kitara. My body died from the exhaustion and I left you and Kita with the care of the nuns who put you in a foster-home, while my spirit went back to this universe.Don't worry I didn't die completey...Goddesses can't die."
Jiru had always wondered why all of the nuns were gathered around her whenever she used to go to church. She stopped going because they kept freaking her out. She shuddered as she remembered them bowing down to her...and giving her fish...Why fish?!
"Is that clear now?" Tai-yun-jun looked around and saw that both Chichiri and Tasuki were asleep.
"Should I wake them..Tai...er..um...mother?"
"No, it's alright dear." Tai-yun-jun grabbed a hammer and banged it against a gong. Chichiri jumped up with a chibi start in the air. Tasuki grabbed his Harisen and was about to attack.
"W-What happened, no da?!" Tai-yun-jun glared at the two. "You fell asleep during my speech."
Tasuki was irritated. "Well if you hadn't talked for so long we wouldn't have slept! Wouldn't we Chichiri?" Chichiri didn't acknowledge him...he fell back to sleep. Tasuki started to shake the stuffing out of him. (that's right! he has stuffing). "Wake up you idiot!"
Chichiri woke up and yawned. "Daaa?" He immediately realized that he had just ben sleeping. "Oh! Daa! I am so sorry, no da. I just got so sleeeepy."
This was all ignored when Jiru asked Tai-yun-jun a rather serious question. "Just where exactly is Kita?"
Tai-yun-jun looked at Jiru gravely. "I am afraid my dear old friend, Tenielle has taken her. To his old kingdom of Shabang. (AN:../giggles./) Though it's not really his kingdom. I met him after his father's reign fell."
"If he is your friend..." started Jiru.
"Then why did he kidnap Kita, no da." Chichiri finished her sentence for her.
"Tai-yun-jun answered. "He's probably still mad that I refused to marry him and did not have his children."
"What?!" This coming from the whole group with a "no da?!" at the end.
"Oh yes..he used to be a good friend of mine but ever since he discovered the Prophecy he had it in his head that Kitara and Jirune would be reincarnated through him. That way he would use their powers for revenge of his lost kingdom." Tai-yun-jun looked down."That is where this evil originates from...greed, hate, and revenge. That is why we need the powers of the goddesses to stop it...I didn't want to have evil counter-parts running around so I left."
Jiru understood completely. "So now since he has Kita then that means he can use her ancient power to take over the Universe!"
"That is correct." Tai-yun-jun replied. "But there are two of you...One Light (Jiru) and One Dark (Kita)...this shall be the battle of the century." She noticed that Chichiri and Tasuki were getting distracted so she finished it off. "Now that you all know the story. I want you to go to Shabang and bring Kitara...I mean Kita back to the Light Side."
As they were sent off Jiru's mind was only on Kita. Entirely forgetting about the whole reincarnation deal, not so much as herself being reincarnated but forgetting about Chichiri and Tasuki as well who couldn't get it out of their heads.
