Chapter 6 Time Tells The Truth
"Has he been there since morning?" Manta asked tentatively, watching the ex fire shaman sit at the porch staring into the oblivion. Yoh closed his eyes and nodded, "Mmhmm, normally he would have been teasing Ren by now. Where is Ren?"
"Still sleeping." Kita replied as she walked into the kitchen. "Anna is making you do lunch?"
Manta grinned sheepishly, "Yea, Tamao went with Horo Horo and Pirika back to the mountains. Horo Horo wanted his father's approval for his engagement. So I'm in charge of cooking and house chores." Yoh sighed deeply. Kita looked at him amusingly, it was obvious that Anna wanted Yoh to continue his training today, although the Shaman Fights were to happen again in five hundred years, it was as though Anna was convinced it would begin soon. Amidamaru appeared by Yoh's side. "Yo, what's up?" He greeted, Amidamaru frowned deeply, "Spirits in the graveyard are acting strangely today, even the Pilot was flying far too near to the ground, he almost collided into several ghosts." He bowed his head, "Even I, am not feeling like myself." Amidamaru sighed deeply.
Kita narrowed her eyes, frowning. She almost ran out of the room and up the stairs. "Kita where are you going!?" Yoh began to follow her, when his fiancée appeared in front of him. "Where do you think you're going?" Yoh pointed after the retreating shadow, "Kita is acting strange, after Amidamaru said that he felt not like himself and so are the ghosts in the graveyard." Anna arched an eyebrow and crossed her arms firmly, "Well it certainly has nothing to do with you so you might as well go run some laps today I want you to run the usual but add 10 more kilometers to it." With that, Yoh dragged himself out of the room. "Honestly, is a grown man suppose to act like that, he should have been training automatically everyday by now!" Anna muttered fiercely as she walked up the stairs. Manta could only watch and do his chores.
Kita heaved herself onto the roof and closed her eyes calling out to Dragon and Phoenix with her spirit. Almost at once, they both appeared by her side. "We need to go flying." She required firmly.
Ren woke up and looked out the window, it was around noon or even past noon. He frowned to himself, normally he never slept so late. He slipped out of his covers and headed for the kitchen.
"Hello Ren, had a good sleep?" Manta asked cheerfully, tossing food into a frying pan. "I'm sorry if you're hungry but it's almost lunch so, can you wait?" Ren nodded groggily. He slumped himself into the chair before noticing something. "Where's Bason?" Amidamaru appeared by his side, "He's at the graveyard, he said he needed time alone…he felt unhappy. But all the spirits are acting strange so don't worry." He added as Ren frowned once more. How can he not worry?
"Tanma where's Kita?" A voice suddenly inquired. Hao stood up from his perch at the porch. Ren instinctively bristled, "What has that got to do with you?" Hao shrugged and pushed past the Chinese man. Manta seeing that the fight was about to brew, he quickly intervened, "She went upstairs, I think she may be on the roof." Hao smiled at Manta before quickly walking up to the stairs.
Kita was about to take off, when she felt a warm hand wrap around her wrist effectively stopping her, Dragon and Phoenix in their tracks. "Wait." Kita looked back, finally annoyed at Hao for the first time, "What do you want?"
"The presence is bothering isn't it?"
Kita stopped and stared suspiciously at him. /Interesting on how I know isn't it?/ Hao smirked,
"Kita? Is Hao there?" Ren's voice called from the attic below. /Why does it involve you?/ she asked. Hao sighed deeply, as Ren's head popped out from window. /I can't tell you exactly,/ Hao answered carefully, he himself had some faint idea but he had to make sure. /But I know it's bothering both you and Anna./
"Anna too?" Kita gaped, Ren stared between them, for the whole time he watch them look at each other in silence, obviously something was going on, but no one was telling him anything. "If you get Anna here, I will be of assistance."
"I am here." Anna announced coldly, Hao smiled at the itako, getting a very icy stare in return. Judging by the tense silence, Hao continued, he reached forward for Phoenix. The reaction was instantaneous. The fiery bird jerked awkwardly backwards with her head, while the reptile shot forward threateningly. He was cut short as he saw his jaws going for Kita's instead of his intended victim.
/Stop. Right now./ Kita commanded.
Dragon could only look on in horror, not once had he ever heard Kita order him so forcefully before. And in front of his enemies.
/I need either the dragon or the phoenix for it to work./
/For what to work?/
/The passage to time, it will be a risky journey but it can give you the answer./
/Why can't you just tell me!/ Kita shouted in frustration, feeling as though her head was going to explode any moment. /You remembered everything didn't you? Didn't you remember everything including your past lives?!/
"I've forgotten." Hao lied smoothly, Kita looked at him and sighed, "Phoenix…" Reluctantly, the bird stretched her head towards the fire shaman and trembled slightly as he placed his hand on her neck, the reptile rumbled with buried anger, while Ren could only watch in pure confusion. Hao closed his eyes as he summed up ancient magic that was as old as he. Kita and Anna felt the tingling current of furyoku as the area around them became uncomfortably thick. "Reptile, get ready." Dragon growled low in reply, training his eyes onto an unseen target.
"Kita, what is happening?" Anna demanded, her teeth gritting as the prickling turned into irritating. "What the hell is happening?!"
"Wait for it." Kita answered, her eyes narrowed at the same place as Dragon in the air. "Kita…" Ren began, "Wait for it."
"Kita!"
"Wait!"
"What are we doing!?"
"We're going to oversoul with Dragon." Kita explained hurriedly, her tone now urgent. Anna frowned, " One soul cannot enter two bodies."
"Yes, but with the proper training, two souls can share a body."
"What?!"
"Now!" Kita grasped her sister's hand, her other grasping Dragon's mane. Anna felt a painful jerk inside and found herself free of her body, her wrist still clamped in her sister's hand. /Prepare yourself./ Dragon rushed forward towards an opening in the air that she had not seen before,
"OVERSOUL"
And she was in the dark.
/That went well?/ Dragon questioned amusingly, Kita growled /Shut up, I haven't done this before, you know it was important./
/…What?/ Kita felt her sister's presence shift slightly /We're…inside Dragon./ She led Anna to his eyes, through it, they speculated things that no living being had come across before. Everywhere golden threads joined, burst apart, thinned and thickened; there was no end or beginning to them. Anna rebuked slightly as the threads passed through Dragon's body. He purred slightly at the contact.
/Where is it!?/
/What is it, Kita?/ Anna questioned.
/I didn't say anything./ Kita replied confused.
Dragon slowed slightly, and Kita searched and saw the reason for Dragon's slowing. She reached out to touch a particular thread turning it a startling white/Anna, that's our line, our timeline/ Dragon followed the line, swerving the lines and followed, Anna could only see the line as it thickened and burst apart, but Kita saw a different story.
She saw through the eyes of her past life, the story of her childhood, her lover, whose face remained unseen. She felt the familiar sensations of her companions, a cat, the weakness, the love, the marriage and wept the death, felt the pain. She was eager to see who was her love in her past life, but just as his face finally unblurred, she sunk once again back into darkness.
Anna watched the line braided with a fiery red and silvery blue lines joined with another thread that split soon after, she understood that the red and blue lines was Dragon and Phoenix, she knew the joining of another thread was perhaps a lover. It moved upwards into a pair of entwined threads, her parents, the thread parted into two, the braided one separated, Kita, and an normal golden one, her, but then she noticed just before the line reached her parents' one, a small tendril had unwound itself, only help on by the forever braiding of Dragon and Phoenix.
/What is that?/ Anna asked, her curiosity growing, she reached her hand out cautiously and slowly towards it. Kita felt her sister's presence shift even more and turned to look, she noted to what Anna was reaching for, peered and felt the sorrow of her past life. /This is not normal./ Dragon warned/That's……Oh no./ Kita looked even closer and was awashed with anger and sorrow, she then saw a frail hand reach out and a body heaved itself out of the thread, it moved towards Anna's outstretched hand. Her eyes widened, this was not suppose to happen, what had cause this abnormality?
/Let me out! Don't leave me here…/ An unfamiliar voce whispered, for some reason Kita found it….residing deep into her soul. It was then she knew who it might be.
The Hand grabbed Anna's and pulled her out of Dragon's body replacing her soul with it's own. /NO! ANNA!/
Desperately, Kita reached for Anna's soul just as she felt an awkward pull /Kita we're being pulled out of the passage./ With time no longer on her side, she saw Anna's eyes widen in fear, and she reached out even more, just as their fingers touched, they burst out into the living world again.
Her soul crashed into her body and her world went to black.
