Her Arrival
Disclaimer- I do not own Blood+
At last, at long last thirty years of waiting were a few days shy of thirty years to the day were just about over. Everyone went through every day motions. Kai and the girls returned to the Omoro along with the rest of their families. Mao and Okamaru returned with their family as well. Kaori, David and Julia, Joel, Lewis and their families returned to Okinawa and were waiting for her return. Even Loulou showed up There were many new faces in the picture as well, many new people that in due time were to be the once to take care of Saya and her nieces. Many people were there and many stories shared, and just as many questions asked.
For days everyone was on their toes, people were watching the place where she rested waiting for her to awaken, remaining vigilant for any sign. No one knew when would be the exact moment when she would return. A day remaining to the thirty year anniversary to the day that she was to awaken everyone was tense waiting. Everyone who had something to remember did just that. All who knew of Haji wondered. In the end it was decided that everyone would stay behind while Kai and the twins would go to Saya
Red shield set up a team to patrol the area of where Saya rested. Yet they all managed to miss the shadow that stood slightly darker in the sea shadows. Haji watched and waited. He alone knew when she would awaken. His thoughts revolving around her and her alone. He wondered if she would remember him and everything that had happened. He wondered if she would once again smile that smile that he loved, the smile that shown on her lips and radiated through her eyes. How he wished to tell her how he loved her. He had been able to move past the barriers that he had set for himself at the last moment. He had told her he loved her but, not how much.
With every passing second his body tensed more and more, he strained to hear the slightest noise from her resting place. His thought would wander to her possible reactions to him, and all that she was to find out. Then his thoughts would nap back and his inhuman hearing would strain once more, searching the slightest noise.
Several hours before she was due to arrive; red shield was set on high alert to wait for her to awaken. Sensors of every kind were turned on, and people patrolled the perimeter. Yet no one detected Haji's presence yet everyone thought about him and wondered what had happened, and if he would once again claim his side by the one he loved.
In her cocoon Saya's mind was trapped in dreams she could not escape, her soul cried out in agony that could be heard by no one. Finally the spell that kept her in that land broke, her body shifted slightly at first all the scanners that were set up weren't even able to pick it up. Haji straining ears strained harder, he had heard and felt something. His hiding place let him see everything, from outside but nothing from the inside. Kai and the twins were present. They were inside with Saya, where he wished to be, they noticed nothing. They were talking amongst themselves wondering what they should do once she awakened and what they should say.
In her cocoon Saya's eye lids fluttered trying to awaken, he muscles began to warm and get ready for movement her mind left the world of dreams and focused once again moving. She was completely unaware that Kai and his family were near and waiting, and that every muscle Haji had was wound tighter than the tightest spring. Kai and her nieces, along with Red Shield had decided to let her get out on her own. Haji had decided to stay back once again lest the situation require him to step in. His heart cried out in need to be near the one it loves above all else.
Her movement, at first was almost unnoticeable, and then little by little did they increase in movements. Her heart once again beat with the will to live. When Kai and the rest of what was now Saya's family as well noticed they forced themselves to step back and let her fight her way to them by herself. Many times they were barely able to stop themselves from going and aiding her on her journey back to them. Her mind was blank and numb to everything except for the need to free herself from her bindings. She writhed and squirmed unable to move her limbs, trying to free them so that she could cold once again re-enter the world. She managed to build up enough strength to move her arms and start pushing against the cocoon. She kicked legs trying to free them as well. Her movements could be seen from outside of the cocoon, everyone held their breath and prayed for her to be well in body as well as mind. Weapons were on the ready, all wary of what could happen and what did happen once before over sixty years ago.
She struggled against her bindings and little by little was she able to get some leverage to free herself. With one well aimed, yet weak thrust, she was able to free an arm, and then the other. She started free herself with slightly more ease now that her arms were free. She pulled the cocoons silky threads from her skin and shoved them away aware of nothing but what of what she was doing. Finally she was free. She fell to the floor with little impact, she turned so that she could stand but was barely able to hold herself up. She crawled to the light that shown on the floor outside of the doorway. She entered the world as she had left it, a beautiful young girl with huge beautiful brown eyes that had red flecks. She crawled to the small clearing and lay down on her stomach for a moment to regain the small amount of strength that she had.
Everyone stood back, awed at what they had just seen, the girl that was talked about often. Was now back in the world. She lay naked on the floor no more than two feet of the entrance to the mausoleum she had just left. Her skin was milky white with some strands of the cocoon still sticking to it. Her hair was almost as long she was at the moment it hid parts of her naked body and her entire face. Her skin was smooth and damp from her recent struggle. Haji watched from his spot, greedily drinking in the sight of her. His heart started beating in a faster, sweeter rhythm when he laid eyes on her once more. He ached with the need to go to her, wrap her in his cloak take her in his arms and carry her away to some place were he could care for her. He kept his body in the same rigid control he had been using for over two hundred years.
Kai and his nieces simultaneously moved forward, just as she once again pushed herself and simply looked up at them. She looked at them with the curiosity of a child new to the world.
"Saya'' Kai said, going to her and taking her and wrapping her in his arms, holding her tightly, "welcome back, we missed you" He pulled back slightly so that he could see if she recognize him. She smiled softly her lips and face portraying the sweetness that lay in her heart. She smiled, yet failed to recognize him.
Haji watched her, and his mind imprinted her every detail onto his memory. He forced himself to watch as Kai held her, she would need blood soon.
"Welcome back Auntie Saya said to twin voices from either side of Kai." Sapphire eyes and eyes that were the same as hers, stared at her, unsure of what to say or do.
As soon as everyone had snapped out of the temporary spell that had been cast over them as they watched her come back to the world, preparations were started. She was wrapped in a robe and by Kai and was lifted into his arms, he turned to the ambulance type vehicle were she would have her first transfusion in thirty years. Kai didn't stop talking to her telling her about anything that came to mind, in hope that she would remember. He told her about the girls and how they had been waiting for her so that they could meet her. News and updates were passed through radios to land on waiting, and eager ears. The young doctor that was to one day take over looking after Saya's health was setting up the IV drip for Saya, looked up right as she was being placed on the gurney by Kai, in her stunned awe she stepped sideways, tripped and landed sprawled over the pole, blood slowly pooled around her, staining her white lab coat. She got up, unharmed in time to turn her head reddening face, towards the audience she had just earned herself. David stepped forward, angry at the young doctor, ready to scold her and send her away when he turned and followed her gaze, which had just fixated itself on Saya moments before.
Saya's eyes were slowly swirling into the crimson red that those who knew her and her niece were all too familiar with. She turned her head slowly taking in the sight of everyone around her. She looked at Kai and her nieces; she looked at David whom she was barely able to recognize. She saw Julia looking at her with her gentle smile on much older lips.
"Saya" Kai said as he stepped towards her. She turned to look at him and for a few moments she just stared. Then slowly said, "Kai?" As if though his name was the key to unlocking her memories she started everything in a dizzying rush. Her lungs labored and her heart sped with the memories and visions flashing through her head bringing with them the knowledge of the things that had happened before her body had surrendered her to her cursed sleep.
She started to cry over the pain that the images brought with them. She remembered Riku and her father and how both had died. And she remembered her dearest friend. That had fought with her for decades never failing her and always taking care of her. She remembered hoe he had told her he loved her, she remember how he died. She arched her back and screamed and cried in a newly awoken agony that she was unable to control. She screamed Haji's name and unable to bear the pain, slammed her fisted hands down onto the gurney that she on lifted herself of right before it was completely destroyed by her strength. Her canines grew, and her eyes darkened even more, both readying themselves for blood.
The people that had been placed at the sight by Red Shield jerkily level weapons ready to shoot. Sakura and Mizuki both with fear in their eyes forgot to ready themselves for the fight both knew would probably come.
A split second before all chaos erupted a shadow holding a unique cello case detached itself and landed behind Saya and quick as lightning turned her around and so that she fell into his arms and with his heart talking said "Saya."
