Eternal Life, Eternal Hell
(Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all)
Life had taken a turn for the second time, the pain of isolation welled up inside her boiling away at her inner organ. Saya had searched everything she could before during and after the Han dynasty, the only person that was interesting was the dancer Diao Chan, it wasn't the fact that she was women who stuck by her love, but that there was nothing written about her in history. It was as if she was created from thin air falling perfectly into a tale adding romance to what has been a stale story. Saya sighed shaking her head she got up stretching her legs making up her mind that the next morning she would leave with Nathan to China. "…what you seek will be obtained, but only if your heart truly desires it." What could he mean by that, once again another enigma has been thrown into the labyrinth of her thoughts. She knew what she had to do and walked back inside leaving her room and entering the sitting room where Nathan sat a glass of wine held elegantly.
"I'm ready, when will we leave."
"Tomorrow morning, be ready by then." Saya nodded her head understanding that when he meant by be ready was that he wanted her to bid her family goodbye. She left to her room getting dressed in black leather pants and her trench coat. Her hair had been cut as it had after Riku died, to her it was a symbol of loss, this time it was the loss of her own past.
Standing on the ledge of the balcony she jumped gracefully towards the next building, those who looked up could only see a streak of blue.
----------------------------
"She's on the move towards Xiapi currently known as Pizhou City my Lord."
"You fool I already know what it's called." The man sneered looking down at the man cowering in front of his feet.
"I'm sorry my lord…p…please forgive me." He said bowing on his knees.
"Now leave me to my quarters and don't return unless with my food."
"Y…yes my l…lord." The man said bowing out of the room.
-------------------------------------
Saya had stood outside of her home, the thought if Kai and the girls flooded her mind and at that moment she would have turned and ran away, but a stronger force had pushed her forward and she opened the room to nothing more than darkness. Turning towards the stairs she walked up startled by the sight of Kira who eyes reflected her own. The young child eyes seem to bear so much wisdom, it was a wonder as to why she looked so young but spoke like a women.
"We won't ask you to stay, but you have to come back, we don't want to be alone." Her eyes were pleading with Saya's and as Kira's eyes flashed brighter a understanding had passed between the two. Saya walked towards the girl and hugged her a feeling of warmth spread through her.
"Because he knows your home, but this time he'll wait for you." Saya's eyes widened her niece had looked at her innocently as if she knew something that Saya herself didn't know. The girl had extended her hands brandishing a pale pink rosewith a blue ribbon tied to it, a smile spread to Saya's lips and she kissed the girl on her cheek taking the flower.
"I always hated this one." Saya said and for the first time in years she laughed, Kira broke into a smile and she too began to laugh she seemed to understand what the joke was.
"Auntie Saya can I tell you a secret?" Saya nodded and leaned her ear in her eyes turned huge in surprise and she looked at her niece digesting what she said.
"So you mean to say is that you and your sister have …"
"Saya?" Kai had stuck his head out of the living room Rin coming outside with her.
"AUNITE SAYA!" Rin ran towards her and flung her arms around Saya tackling her to the ground. Saya smiled righting herself and Rin up standing to look Kai straight in the eye.
"Are you here to stay?" he asked. Saya sighed knowing she would have to explain everything.
----------------
Kai seemed to be understanding he nodded.
"And I cant come." Saya nodded.
"I also can't hold you back." Once again Saya nodded. Kai frowned and got up.
"I knew this would happen one day, I just hoped that it wasn't now."
"Will you come back?" asked Rin her twinkling blue eyes glistening with tears as her hope were crushed. Saya nodded before and idea came to mind she ran into her room retrieving her sword and slowly she pulled out her adopted father's crystallized blood.
"I will have to come back this is very special to me,. But you must promise to keep it safe." Rin's eyes shone before accepting the gift and her eyes seemed to glow bright blue before returning to their normal state. Rin touched Saya's hand and Saya nodded the stood up and turned away hoping that she would return soon to her family.
-----
Upon arriving Nathan seemed to be waiting and ushered her to sit down on the arm chair. Saya accepted.
"Before we leave tomorrow I have one more thing to say, but please do not be mad." Saya nodded listening intently.
"Saya this is speculation, but I believe that your mother, well she was, her death was not unintentional." Saya froze still trying to draw in what he said.
"You mean to say…"
"She tried to get rid of herself in hopes of getting rid of you two." For Saya this came as a hard blow. After believing that she would find out about a mother who could have taken care of the two maybe even allowed Saya to feel like she did belong in the world, was really a mother who didn't even care about the well being of her own daughters.
"But she did care, she really did."
"My dearest Saya you are like my own child, I loved your mother, but even adults make mistakes."
"You're lying, mom would never betray myself and Diva, she knew we were inside her, she would never."
"She was one of the beauties you know, a creature I could never keep my eyes off, and as her sisters Chevalier did as he did she had been to sad to carry on, she tried to get rid of you two, come to think of it she never told me her intentions, but there is something so different about your mother, that's why I want you to come with me, I want to help you, I don't want you and Haji to repeat the same mistake, to follow through with the same promises."
"Promises, please tell me."
"I'm sorry, but that is one question that you must figure out on your own."
Saya sat back tears had overwhelmed her and she couldn't take it anymore.
"But this is only speculation right?"
"Yes, but it is very likely and I wanted to tell you know so that whatever you find out you will be ready."
"…what you seek will be obtained, but only if your heart truly desires it." Saya said under her breath Nathan nodded his head.
"Understand Saya that this may lead to your past, but also to your future and as I said before, do not believe what you hear."
"Nathan what was my mother's name?" Nathan smiled a genuine smile.
"I remember when I met her in Russia the day she spoke her name it made me fall in love with her instantly when ever she was outside it was a new moon, I always believed that she made it shy away." Saya waited patiently, but when he never replied she gave an exasperated groan before murmuring her name.
"One of the beauties has that exact description."
"Oh and who is that?" he said in a teasing manner.
"Diao Chan." She muttered and then she realized that, that must be the reason why there was no record of her, because she was a Chiropteran and that must have meant all records of her must have been destroyed.
"Well then Saya it is best you get some rest we leave early tomorrow at dawn and I don't fancy having to nudge you awake." Her smiled knowing that Saya knew who her mother was, but nothing about her past.
Finally Chapter four! I'll be honest with you guys I had this up and the my brother never allowed on the PC and when I went on it my file was deleted, and then I got toooo lazy to retype it again. Yes I know I'm ashamed of myself, but at least I admitted it and I have come clean, so please at least give me a 5 minutes head start before you chase me with your torches and pitchforks its all I ask for I don't do very well with angry mobs, and unfortunately my legs are already sore from running all day today so I wouldn't do very good in trying to escape!!
