Eternal Life, Eternal Hell
(Disclaimer: I'm sick of writing the same disclaimer over and over again, so this is my last one! I do not own anything, not the characters, or the anime, or the movie, nothing at all because if I did I would be sitting at a huge mahogany desk thinking jotting down ideas for the next movie following the events of blood+)
Saya had opened her eyes, the darkness still engulfed her room and she peered at her alarm clock the numbers were glowing a bright red which read 3:00. Irritated because of the lack of sleep, and also excited that they would be leaving to China soon. Getting dressed in a long black trench coat and dark jeans she crept outside only to find that she was not the only one awake. Finally remembering that Chevaliers don't sleep she began to walk normally and sat on the opposite arm chair looking on the floor unable to speak.
"Unable to sleep Saya?" he asked forcing her to look up at him. She nodded slowly her eyes seemed to hold no emotion at all. Nathan stood up and walked to the kitchen returning with a glass filled with a deep shade of dark red liquid. Realization dawned and her eyes shone brightly before returning to their darker state. Nathan slid the drink towards her and at first she hesitated to drink it.
"You need it, so you can be strong I wouldn't want you collapsing on me." He said a hint of humor etched into his words. Saya grunted and accepted the drink drowning the liquid her throat burning for more after draining the last drop. Nathan laughed making Saya give him a questioning look.
"You and Diva are sisters after all, it seems you both share a big appetite for blood." he said once more making his way to the kitchen with Saya's glass returning with two which he place in front of Saya. She greedily eyed the two glasses and enjoyed the two drinks savoring the flavor, whoever said the blood tasted metallic was wrong because to her it tasted sweet. When finished she seemed to look intently upon Nathan waiting for him to say something.
"Now why is my dear Saya so depressed." He said breaking the silence making Saya jerk her head towards him. She shook her head not knowing herself. Nathan had an amused look on his face before looking towards the sun.
"Just like your mother, she would always go silent when one of Chevaliers is too far away, you don't feel him do you?" he asked. Saya raised a brow and gave him a questioning look. Nathan let out a hallow laugh before his look instantly hardened. Saya felt a shiver run up and down her spine she didn't speak nor did she move, she felt that if she did Nathan would lash out at her, but the silence didn't suggest either so she opened her lips to ask a question before Nathan's voice cut across her making her close her mouth instantly.
"Whenever I was gone she would send me these odd messages in my brain, I'm not implying I knew telepathy, but it was like messages of her yearning for me." He said a smile gracing his lips, but as he continued his voice grew darker.
"But then she just stopped, she never sent them out again and it was because she felt she had something else." Nathan let it sink in before something swelled in Saya's throat, she felt like she shouldn't hear what he was going to say next, but kept silent which allowed Nathan to continue.
"When I returned it seemed your mother had found herself another Chevalier, he became her favourite and for that left Russia in return to China, for she couldn't bear to be far from home or far from him as he left to China." Saya wanted to ask why she had left in the first place, but decided against it.
"And so I was her beloved first, but he was her favourite, the same way Solomon was Diva's favourite in the beginning, and how Haji yours." He paused, and this time Saya knew she would be allowed to speak.
"So you want me to try to… to send out these feelings to Haji." She asked him wondering how she could do it.
"No I want you to actually open up that connection with him, more than just words, more than just feelings open up your heart to him, then and only then you can get back Haji." Saya gave him a quizzical look and Nathan shook his head.
"I cannot tell my dear, you must learn it on your own." Saya let out a sigh, it was the same as the last time, last time regaining her memories, this time it was all about regaining her skills, so far she can wield a sword, although she was sure that that was more like muscle memory, she could run extremely fast, to hear things inaudible to the human ear, and Saya noticed that she could change her hair and a few minor parts of her body, but that was it. Now she had to learn how to get a stronger connection with her Chevalier. Saya was about to ask another question, but Nathan abruptly stood up indicating that she did so as well.
"It's time to leave." He said his positive persona returning looked outside and realized the sun was almost about to rise. With a sudden realization that they had been talking for a long time, Saya stood up and ran to the room she currently inhabited, she pulled out her sword and looked at the place where her father's crystallized blood should have been she smiled to herself and picked up her things. She closed her eyes thinking
"I will return for you Kira, and I'll come back with him, so we can all live together." Saya left the room and followed Nathan out the door they walked to the back of the building to where it faced an alleyway. The jumped out of the window and Nathan took off in a streak of blue with Saya following closely behind.
-----------------------
"Is she on the move?"
"Y…yes master."
"Good, you are serving me well for that you are relieved of all duties for today."
"Thank you master." He flung himself to the floor in a deep bow and left quickly before his 'master' changed his mind.
-------------------------------
Arriving at the docks Saya had held her sword, the person who was waiting in front of the massive boat seemed not to mind in the least to see two people arrive suddenly one carrying a sword. The man ushered them in up entering Saya heard something that sounded like a big explosion running towards the source a man or half man who seemed to be towering over then stood a look of pure malice. Saya pulled out her sword and was about to run her hand over the blade but Nathan shook his head.
"It's a futile attempt the only thing that will work is your mother's blood." Saya looked at him oddly.
"Luckily I have just that." Nathan pulled from inside him a vile that held a dark red liquid he handed it to Saya who knew what to do. Opening the vial she poured a small amount of the blood on the blade watching as it made its way down the blade.
"Saya now." called out Nathan's voice. She broke out of her trance of watching the blood and charged forwards she brought down her sword which narrowly missed and felt herself being pushed back to the other side of the dock. Saya felt deep within herself the yearning for Haji, how much she needed him and on impulse a strong feeling over whelmed her and a distant voice called out.
"Fight Saya, I'll find you soon." Saya's eyes was glowing a bright red and charged once again this time anticipation coursed through her body. The beast dodged as she expected and she swung her leg around colliding with its stomach. It groaned and she found her opening, bringing her sword around she sliced as hard as she could through the beast something hot sprayed onto her face, and then the body fell to the floor a large mark stretching from it's side up to its shoulder. She could feel its blood all over her and watched as the body slowly crystallized and hardened. Saya turned towards Nathan who seemed to be fighting off the beast with an oddly shaped dagger. It was zigzagged, but the blade itself was sharp and the tip of it pointy.
"I almost did it.' She said referring to opening up to Haji. Nathan understood her meaning and nodded they turned towards the boat ready to dock. The man near their boat seemed to be standing at the docks looking as though nothing had happened; it seemed that he knew about everything. Saya then heard someone calling her name and as she turned around saw Lulu running towards her, her hood covering her face as the gloves covered her hands. Saya smiled at the girl and hugged her. Lulu looked up knowingly and said rather bluntly.
"I'm coming too." This forced Nathan to let out a sigh and nod. Lulu turned to him and let out a gasp in horror.
"But I thought he was dead?" she got into a fighting position already brandishing her axe. Saya put an arm on Lulu indicating that she put down her axe.
"I'll explain everything, but its best we do it inside where the sun won't get to you." And with that the three of them made there way inside the boat anticipation eradicating from Lulu.
