Sei opened her eyes looking around, she was not in the cave anymore, she seen Nexus and Alex sitting in chairs "Mother?" Sei asked, Nexus looked up "Sei, thank god you're alright" She said "What happened?" Sei asked. Nexus looked down "It was a surprise attack, we never seen it coming." She said biting her lip. Alex put a hand on her shoulder "We lost a lot of members, Nagisa and Miyuki they were taken" She said softly. Sei closed her eyes "It's a bargain, me for them right" She said.
Nexus nodded "I won't do it, I can't" She said, "Shizuma where is she?" Sei asked. "She's been in rage the whole time, so close to just losing it, she couldn't' protect them, she blames herself" Alex said. Sei stood up "I will accept the bargain" She said "Sei it's a trick you know that" Nexus said. "I do Mother but it is the only way, I will save them even if it kills me" She said as she walked out of the room.
Sei walked around she closed her eyes they had Miyuki and Nagisa what else could she do. She seen Shizuma she was in full rage "Shizuma, I will get Nagisa back for you" Sei said. Shizuma turned "Sei, I'm glad you're awake" She said as she seemed to clam down. Sei nodded "I will give myself up to get them back" Sei said. Shizuma shook her head "Sei that's suicide" Shizuma said. Sei nodded "It is, but it is my duty to protect the advisor and queens" Sei said.
Shizuma broke down crying, Sei hugged her "I promise I will get them both back" She said as she held Shizuma. Miyuki was sitting in a cell she was powerless here she looked over to Nagisa she was hanging by her wrist and the cuffs were cutting into her skin. "It wont' be long till Sei comes" A man said looking at them he was tall with black hair and purple eyes "Sei is not stupid she knows this is a trap" Miyuki hissed at him.
He laughed "But I know Sei better then you my dear, Sei will come to free you and then I will take her powers" He said smiling. Miyuki growled as she rushed but the man only smiled "Your weak my dear, I need you and the brat to be in good condition" He said. "Your Sei's father" Nagisa said, the man smiled "Yes, that's right; I took my wife to the temple the Ryu had long ago and sacrificed her to become a Ryu" He said.
"Your a Monster" Nagisa shouted, he laughed "You call me a monster but I am top of the food chain" He said as she looked at Nagisa she shouted as he entered her mind twisting her thoughts her memories. "Leave her alone" Miyuki shouted as she reached through bars to try and snap his neck.
He only laughed "I wonder what my dear daughter would do if her precious Miyuki was missing an arm" He said smiling. Miyuki looked at him "You can do what ever you like to me but you leave Nagisa alone" Miyuki said. The man said as he started to twist Miyuki's mind.
Sei was sitting down in a room she closed her eyes she could hear people arguing outside it was the heads of the other clans. She got up and went outside everyone looked at her "It's her decision Nexus" A man said, Nexus looked down she nodded "I know" She said closing her eyes "I know" She repeated.
They all looked at Sei "I already told you what I was doing, I suggest everyone be ready for a fight of their life, It is time to finish this" She said. They nodded as everyone seemed to leave Nexus looked at her "You're so young though" She said, Sei smiled "I know mother but I can't let Nagisa and Miyuki stay there" She said.
Nexus nodded "We will be preparing when you are ready we will be ready as well" She said. Sei nodded as she sat went back to the room she closed her eyes she had to focus but it seemed her mind would not let her. Instead she went to see everyone gearing up they stopped looking at her.
She gave them a weak smile "Come back to us Sei" Kana said looking at her "You bet, we still have that match" She said. "Good luck out there everyone, I know we can do this" Sei said. Everyone seemed to smile "This time we will make sure the Ryu clan stays dead" Another female said.
Shizuma looked at Sei, I'm going in with you" She said. "Shizuma, how will that work? They want just me" she said. Shizuma smiled as she took a small dagger and slit her wrist "Drink my blood" She said. Sei nodded drinking the blood. "Now that you have consumed my blood once you are in I can transport there as well" Shizuma said.
"I'm so going to have to learn that trick" Sei said smiling, "Once this is over I'll teach you, unless Miyuki teaches you first it comes in handy" She said. Sei nodded as she walked around a little she seen Alex "Are you ready for this?" Alex asked. Sei laughed "I don't have a choice I have to be ready, the longer we sit the more time they have to toy with Miyuki and Nagisa" She said.
Alex nodded "You know whose behind this don't you" Alex said. Sei looked down "Yes, I seen him the night we recued Momomi" She said. Alex nodded "Who was it?" She asked softly, Sei closed her eyes "My dad" She said softly. Alex nodded "Are you sure you want to do this we still have time to change it" she said.
"No, I will do this" Sei said looking at Alex "He's not my dad anymore he's a monster a real monster." Alex nodded as she watched Sei, Nexus found them and nodded "We are ready" She said. Sei nodded as she smiled "Mother I'm going to be okay, don't worry about me" Sei said.
Nexus smiled " Stay safe my child" she said, Sei nodded as they left the building to see their Army. It was bigger then she expected. They marched up to a building it was the Ryu base she knew this place from somewhere but where. The door opened and the man walked out "Sei, I've been expecting you" He said smiling.
Sei looked back she smiled at them as she walked forward she could see the soldiers ready to fight, she closed her eyes to calm her nerves as they went inside "Where is Miyuki and Nagisa" Sei said looking at him. "This is supposed to be a happy reunion of Father and Daughter" He spoke.
Sei glared "You are not my father anymore" She said, He laughed "So much fury, should I tell you of your fate of your mother" He said. "We went out and I found the shrine it was calling for me, I killed your mother and there I became a Ryu" He said. Sei bit her lip she had to keep her anger from rising at the moment.
"I want to see Nagisa and Miyuki" Sei said, he nodded as he led them down a hall she seen Nagisa chained to the wall she seen Miyuki on the floor her left arm was gone. "MIYUKI" Sei cried. She looked up she smiled a little "I'm alright, my arm will grow back in a day or two" She said.
Outside they could hear fighting "Now that I have you, I will take your powers" He said smiling. "Let them go" Sei said, "Not a chance you will watch them die before your eyes" He said. At that moment Shizuma appeared and cut Nagisa free and picked her up "Lets go Miyuki" Shizuma said. Miyuki shook her head "I'm not going without Sei" She said.
"Miyuki we need to go now" Shizuma said. "Go Miyuki" Sei said, Miyuki looked at Sei and nodded as she followed Shizuma and they were gone. "Your friends are gone they abandoned you" He said.
"You wish, your mind tricks won't work on me" Sei replied as she brought her swords out "Now die" She said as he attacked but he parried with his own swords. They fought each other for a long time then she felt him pierce her shoulder to the wall. Sei let out a scream. He smiled "Now I will take your gifts" He said biting into her neck Sei let out a scream.
He seemed to smile as he drank her blood, "NO" Sei screamed she felt herself getting angry and then it happened the room went dark "What is this?" He asked. Sei smiled "This is your punishment, this is the last circle of Hell, this is your punishment for killing my mother, for hurting other this is your final fate your soul will linger here forever after you die" Sei said.
He then closed his eyes his body was on fire "You drank my blood; you are the foolish one these gifts were given to me and you will die for trying to take them away. Your body will be consumed by flames your mind will be shred into pieces you will die in your own greed and madness" Sei shouted.
Sei then vanished and she was back in the mansion she went outside seeing the battle she felt sick. She watched as everyone was fighting she walked on and as she did it seemed everyone stopped looking at her. "He is dead" She said looking at everyone "This war is over" Sei said looking at everyone.
She could see the Ryu clan members back down "And what are we to do?" A man asked "Those of us turned against our will" He said. Sei looked at him "That is for you to decide, not me. I would advise you to live in peace among the humans." Sei said as she went forward she was so tired she felt so weak.
Nexus came over to her "Sleep my dear child" She whispered into Sei's ear. Sei's body dropped going to sleep. "You heard Sei the war is over but I will warn you if you attack the humans we will destroy you" She said as the Shii and the Drako clan left the battle field.
Sei opened her eyes looking around she was in Miyuki's room she felt arms around her and she seen Miyuki sleeping. Sei smiled she noticed that Miyuki had her left arm again. Miyuki kissed her neck as she got up; Sei looked up "Have I been asleep long?" Sei asked. Miyuki smiled as she pulled her close "Almost a week" She replied.
Miyuki then pulled Sei into the shower with her; Sei smiled the warm water felt great. After the shower they changed into some clothes and went downstairs. Everyone seemed to smile when they seen Sei "Your awake" Nagisa said as she hugged her, Sei only laughed "Yeah, why were you worried?" Sei asked.
Nagisa pouted "Of course my best friend has been asleep for a week and you use to say I was always a heavy sleeper" She said. Sei smiled she drank some blood and sat there "We need to destroy that shrine" Sei said. Alex smiled as she sat next to her "Already done Miyuki took dynamite to it" She said.
Sei nodded "That's good and what about the humans?" She asked. Alex smiled "They think it was a terrorist group that were brought down by the military, their lives are returning to normal we can live in peace again" She said. Sei nodded as sat there "Do you think it would be okay if I put some flowers on my mother's grave?" Sei asked. Alex nodded "I think that would be great, though you are still young you can't alter you appearance" She said.
Sei smiled "Iris added all that into my blood as well as Nagisa" She said. Alex smiled "I had a feeling then yes do go, where will you be returning?" She asked. "On the other side of Japan unfortunately" Sei said, Alex nodded "Alright, I assume Miyuki will go with you?" She asked. "I haven't asked her to go, I mean should I…" Sei was cut off "I will go if you want, I need to lay some flowers on the graves of my family and I believe Shizuma is going that way as well so we can catch a ride with her if you like"
It was a quiet drive as Shizuma drove it seemed that everyone had the same thoughts. It took two days to get to their destination but when they arrive everyone headed their separate ways. Sei had changed her appearance she was taller with longer hair and she had changed her eyes to blue the same color of blue as her mothers once were.
Sei sat the flowers down and said a small prayer "I hope you can finally rest in peace mother" She said softly. "I know I should have come and visited sooner, but I was still so depressed. Miyuki has taken that depression away, and you probably know that I'm not normal anymore" She said. "I know I didn't say it the day you left but I love you" She said. She felt arms around her and she closed her eyes.
"I'm done, and I think Shizuma is as well, its time to go" Miyuki said softly. Sei nodded as she turned and they headed back to the car, it seemed the sun was back and it seemed to chase off all the nasty rain clouds that had come from the war.
