Thanks to people who added the story to their favorite story list!
Now for the actual chapter…
X: This chapter will focus more on Kira herself, and I'm twisting the plot a bit about the whole story behind Shishou's grandfather…
TRANSLATIONS for the part in GREEK:
(Let the elements come. The fire. The water. The air. The earth. And let the magic within the atmosphere combine. Let them come together.)
(Give me the power. Defy everything she says. Give me all of your power.)
(Turn back time. Let the spirits run free. Turn back time. Let the spirits be released. Every spirit of the zodiac, let them come together now.)
Lol... that got you excited, didn't it?
Guesthouse:
Kira lay there, bleeding on the ground for more then a few hours now. The mysterious person from the corner crept over, watching over her unconscious form.
He was regretting ever getting tied up into this, he regretted ever meeting Akito, ever meeting Kira. This wasn't how it was suppose to be, no one was supposed to get hurt but he was so desperate for it. For the money, for the love, for the drugs, for everything.
"It wasn't meant to be this way. I never wanted you to get hurt Kira… I'm sorry." he thought.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Kira…you can't hear me but I want you to know, I'm sorry…" he whispered into her ear.
"I'm so sorry. Can you hear me? Will you listen? I'm sorry… I'M SORRY!" he screamed as tears fell on her fallen form. He got up quickly and ran, leaving her behind. Leaving her behind, perhaps for the last time.
"Jake…" Kira whispered.
Sohma Estate:
Akito stormed into the main house, attracting cautious looks from the other juunishi, often a wide eye glance. He ignored them and went straight for Hatori's room.
"Hatori! Shigure!" Akito screeched, interrupting the two men.
"Yes?" Hatori asked, wincing at his voice.
"What is it Akito? What's wrong?" Shigure asked, worried.
"I want NO ONE to leave this house! NO ONE!" Akito yelled. Shigure looked shaken from Akito's tone while Hatori continued to stare emotionlessly.
"Does he know? Does he know about the BOOKS!" Shigure panicked
"All right… may I ask why?" Hatori asked quietly
"No! You may NOT! And make sure no one ventures to the guesthouse!" Akito spat.
"Oh God… Kira!" Hatori and Shigure thought.
Kira's POV:
I can't believe it. I heard you. Can you hear me? I heard you. You went along with Akito all this time. Why? Why did you leave me? I thought we were best friends. Is this what happens when you're alone?
Everything is coming back to me. It's beginning to all make sense.
The visions.
The colors.
And Kyo.
Akito.
Why are you doing this to me?
Is what you say really true?
Do you really hate
My mother?
My father?
Me?
Or am I just a pawn to your game?
A person you're using?
Just like you're using Tohru?
Just like you were using
Shishou's grandfather?
My parents?
Is that what's going to happen to me
And
Tohru?
Are we going to be forgotten?
In the end
I know I won't win
But
I know you won't either.
Akito.
You won't win.
Nobody will.
But
I won't lose.
It's silly for me to keep
Hoping for a better future for me.
For Kyo.
Whatever you do Akito,
Whatever we do,
Don't,
Don't hurt Kyo
Leave him alone.
It doesn't matter if I die
But
I want you to tell him
When I die
If I die
That I love him.
Tell Kyo
"I love you."
"Is this how I'm going to die? Without a final fight? I don't think so…" Kira thought, getting up slowly, blood dripping from her body. She looked at her palm on the left hand side; the pentagram was beginning to glow. She smirked; she would definitely enjoy killing Akito.
Main House:
"What happened? Damnit! What did you do Shigure? I knew you and Akito were planning something!" Kyo shouted as he, Yuki, Tohru, Haru, and Momiji received the message of avoiding the guesthouse from Shigure and Hatori.
"Calm down. I'm sure Kira can handle it." Shigure said but anxiety flickered in his eyes.
"Yes! Kira-san is as strong as Sohma-kun!" Tohru said slightly cheerful, slightly worried.
Suddenly there was a crash and a bang and in came Kira, stomping in. She was covered in blood but even blood couldn't even cover up her furious scowl.
"Where's Akito?" she asked calmly but her eyes seem to glow mysteriously.
"What the HELL happened to you?" Kyo exclaimed
"KIRA! You're covered in blood!" Shigure cried out.
"This can't be good…" Hatori thought
"I thought she didn't like murder…" Haru watched in amusement as Yuki just watched wide eyed and shocked, his arm tightly around Tohru's stunned form.
"Where. Is. Akito?" Kira said through clench teeth.
"He's in his room." Shigure informed, also watching in amusement.
"I love this family… oooh the DRAMA…" Shigure sighed.
Kira simply nodded and walked up to Kyo and hugged him, kissing him on the lips sweetly. Then she ran off to Akito's room.
"What the… what just happened?" Kyo said as he watched Kira run off.
"I think Kira remembers." Yuki said
"Uh oh…" Shigure said.
"This can't be good…" Shigure thought, shaking his head.
"Come on Shigure, let's make sure she doesn't commit murder… or die…" Hatori grabbed Shigure and began towards Akito's room.
Akito's room:
"Damn… why can't you DIE?" Akito screamed throwing a chair at Kira. Kira quickly dodged it and took off her gloves, revealing the pentagram mark more clearly.
"Ahh… you have finally activated your inner power… now let's have a real fight!" Akito said, revealing his own scar, holding up his hand to her own hand. The room began to glow with the black power of Akito's and the white power of Kira's. Kira began to become surrounded by the white light and began to spin just like Akito was. Then it stopped.
Kira was completely healed, wearing a white flowy dress that seemed almost witch-like. Her eyes were glowing white, her violet pupils disappearing behind the light. A small smirk played upon her face. Akito was wearing black flowing robe and he seemed older, stronger and taller. His own dark eyes had turned into a eerie black glow. His own face matched the smirk upon Kira's face.
"Αφήστε τα στοιχεία να έρθουν. Η πυρκαγιά. Το ύδωρ. Ο αέρας. Η γη. Και αφήστε το μαγικό μέσα στην ατμόσφαιρα να συνδυάσει. Τους αφήστε να ενωθούν." Kira began to chant loudly. The ground shook and the atmosphere became tense.
Meanwhile, Shigure and Hatori were watching in awe from the doorway. The others followed when they saw the bright lights and stared in amazement.
"Μου δώστε τη δύναμη. Προκαλέστε όλα που λέει. Μου δώστε την όλη δύναμή σας." Akito yelled. Everything seemed to be shaking harder and then nothing. Everything just stopped moving.
A ring of fire appeared in the center, soon joined by one of water, then air and finally earth. They began to spin and combine, swirling and mixing. Akito's own body began to turn into ashes and mist, which swirled in the air, swirling right into the ring.
"Πίσω χρόνος στροφής. Αφήστε τα πνεύματα να τρέξουν ελεύθερο. Πίσω χρόνος στροφής. Αφήστε τα πνεύματα να απελευθερωθούν. Κάθε πνεύμα zodiac, τους αφήστε να ενωθούν τώρα!" Kira shouted.
Yuki was the first to go, fainting into Tohru's arms as a spirit resembling a rat floated out of him.
"Yuki! YUKI!" Tohru shouted, tears falling.
"Damnit! Kira! What the hell are you doing?" Kyo shouted but his words fell into the strangely noisy air.
"Tohru-kun! Calm down and watch what happens." Hatori comforted the sobbing girl. The rat spirit began to spin into the ring of elements. Soon afterwards, Haru fainted into Kyo's arms.
"EH? Haa-kun!" Shigure cried out as the cow spirit evaporated towards the ring, spinning into it just like the rat.
"First the rat, then cow… what's next?" Hatori asked.
"Oooo! I know! The tiger!" Momiji said.
"Kisa!" Tohru cried out as the tiger spirit floated by them towards the ring. Then Momiji soon fainted away, the rabbit spirit hopping out of him; falling into Shigure's arms.
"EH? Haa-san!" Shigure cried out as his stoic friend fell onto the ground.
"Who's next? Kyo! Who's NEXT?" Shigure yelled to Kyo who was watching the sight before him unfold.
"How the hell am I suppose to know?" Kyo shouted back over the roaring of magic.
"The snake! It's the snake!" Tohru told them, cradling Yuki's head.
"Aaya! Where are you?" Shigure screamed but it was too late. The snake spirit slither by them towards the ring, twisting into the ring with the spirits that beat him to it.
"I never thought I would be glad to have come last…" Kyo muttered as he watched each spirit twirling in the ring, what seemed like the ring of pain, seeing glimpse of each spirit peek out.
"That's the first…" Shigure commented which Kyo glared at him for as the horse spirit came stampeding by.
Then the sheep spirit.
Then the monkey spirit.
Then the rooster spirit.
Finally it was Shigure's turn,
"So after rooster, it's either boar or dog…" he trailed off, crumpling to the ground.
"Damnit! Are we the only ones left ALIVE?" Kyo swore, moving closer to Tohru.
"EH? Everyone else is DEAD?" Tohru sobbed harder as she watched the boar spirit charge by.
"Well it's my turn…" Kyo said, sitting down, getting ready to fade to unconsciousness but instead his bracelet began to glow, rolling off of Kyo's arms, flying towards the ring.
"I'm not changing…" Kyo murmured, examining himself with wonder.
The ring finally stopped spinning and disappeared as all of the spirits came out and gather in a circle around the bracelet. Each of them slipped into a bead in the bracelet, in order starting with a rat, and ending with the boar. As the bead each filled with a spirit, it began to glow and only one was left, still darken.
Kyo felt a strange sensation running through him, a sense of life and freedom and he watched his own cat spirit erupt from his body just as everything began to go black…
Sohma Estate:
It was early, the next day at dawn. Everyone was sleeping off of what happened including Tohru. Only Kira was left awake as she sat there, Kyo's head in her lap. She had gone to check on the others already and all of them had fainted into a chair or on the floor with the exception of Rin who was outside at the time.
"This is bad… very bad… I just killed their god, I revealed my powers… but the curse is gone. The curse has been broken… but at what costs?" Kira thought as she glanced at her surroundings. The beautiful landscape and gardens were ripped up and torn and part the house was damaged. She looked back down at Kyo who was still sleeping and then looked at the beaded bracelet she had been fingering.
"Should I give it back to him? It is his bracelet…" Kira thought as Yuki began to stir next to her.
"Hmmm… this is interesting… the one with sleeping issues wakes up first…good morning!" Kira smiled at Yuki who sat up sleepily.
"What happened? Did you really kill Akito? Did you really have those powers?" Yuki asked as he looked around.
"Yeah …" Kira said as she shifted Kyo's head off of her lap and went to check on Haru who seemed to be waking up too.
"Haru!" she whispered into his ear as she hugged him.
"Hey… so you're some sort of witch?" Haru asked, sitting up.
"Yes… kind of…?" Kira watched him for his reaction and all he did was smile and commented, "Cool…" causing Kira to laugh. It felt good to laugh now, easily and calmly.
"Close your eyes." she told them.
"Why?" Yuki asked but he closed them, along with Haru.
"Just close your eyes…" she said as she slipped Kyo's bracelet back on his arm. Her eyes began to glow and everything began to swirl into colorful blurs until it finally stopped. Everything seemed fine, the landscape and the house were repaired and everything that happened last night seems to have never happened. Kira was even wearing jeans and a t-shirt again.
"Hm… I don't get it… what happened just now? I just remember passing out last night and that's it…" Haru said as he opened his eyes. He had a strange feeling that seemed to wash his brain out a bit…
"Nothing… I just woke up too..." Kira said. She had just erased everyone's memory of the past few days, including her own to make it seem fairer. Not only that, but she turned back time too, back before Shigure lit his house on fire.
"Me too… why is everyone lying around like this?" Yuki asked as he poked Kyo who woke and yelled,
"Get the HELL away from me damn rat!"
"Rat?" Kira asked.
"Um… never mind! What are we doing outside of the main house?" Kyo asked
"I don't know…" Kira said hugging Kyo. There was an exception to her memory loss; she didn't erase her memory of Kyo from last night.
"Eh…?" Kyo looked at her and put his arm around hesitantly, surprised.
"Let's go home…" Yuki said, carrying Tohru bridal style while Haru kicked Shigure.
"Sensei. Sensei wake up." Haru said, using his foot to nudge Shigure's certain private area and finally kicked it a bit harder.
"AGH! Ow… oh…" Shigure shot up, causing Kira to jump.
"What happened? Where's Akito- OH MY GOD!" Shigure screamed, pointing to where a dark figure lied in the middle of the yard.
"Oh no…" Hatori muttered as he got up, waking to the shouts of Shigure's voice.
"Is he dead? IS HE DEAD?" Shigure cried out as Hatori checked Akito's pulse.
"…" Hatori said nothing, still searching for a pulse.
"HE'S DEAD?" Shigure yelled hysterically.
"We would be better off if Shigure died too…" Yuki commented, watching his hysterical cousin.
"What do you think will happen if Akito is dead?" Kira whispered.
"…Many people will be jumping for joy and grief…" Haru said, creating puzzled looks.
"Let's just go and leave Shigure here. If we get there before him, we can lock him out." Kyo said, putting his arm around Kira, leading her away, followed by Haru while Yuki lingered behind to wake Tohru up.
"Honda-san, Honda-san wake up." he shook her gently.
"…Eh? Where are we?" Tohru asked, rubbing her eyes.
"We're going home. Come on," Yuki said, tugging her by the arm towards the others.
They all wander over to where Hatori parked his car; the keys were still in place on the door. Kira grinned, unlocking the car and got in to the driver's seat. Kyo quickly pursued the passenger's seat and Haru, Yuki and Tohru got in the back.
"You do remember how to drive this right?" Kyo asked, strapping himself in.
"Remember? You drove Tori-nii's car before?" Haru asked.
"Yep! Once when Kyo and I were younger, we were fooling around in Hatori's car when it started to back out of the driveway because Hatori forgot the keys in the ignition. Kyo got all scared and tried jumping out of the car…" Kira laughed as she fiddled around with gear until the car began to move forward.
"Shut up! I wasn't scared! WATCH OUT! You're going to drive us in to the hous-OW!" Kyo yelled but Kira quickly put on the brakes, causing everyone to bump forwards and Kyo to hit his head.
"Shut up! You're making me nervous!" Kira said.
"I think it will be safer for us to walk…" Yuki said as Kira finally turned the car around so it headed towards the street.
"Hurry up. I see Sensei and Tori-nii coming…" Haru said as he looked back to see two men running towards them.
"Kira! Go! GO! FLOOR IT!" Kyo yelled as Hatori and Shigure came closer, finally taking the wheel and using his own foot to push down on the gas pedal causing all of them move back in their seats at the speed they were going.
"You stupid CAT! We're going to side at this speed!" Yuki yelled, holding on to Tohru who was whimpering.
"Don't worry Honda-san. We won't die." Haru comforted her while watching Shigure and Hatori disappear in the dust.
"Turn! TURN KYO! AGH! You missed our TURN!" Kira shouted, peeking between her fingers as they nearly mowed down 2 pedestrians and 3 cars.
"Shut up! It's harder then it looks!" Kyo yelled back, still leaning over Kira.
"Fine! Let me drive!" Kira shoved Kyo aside, grabbing the steering wheel and turned it so they were going back.
"EEEKK! WHOA!" Tohru shrieked, holding onto Yuki for dear life.
"Why the hell are we going back?" Kyo asked, trying to calm down.
"BECAUSE YOU MISSED THE TURN!" Kira screamed as she finally turned onto the right street.
"So this is what they call road rage… hmm… interesting. Just don't get us arrested, 'kay?" Haru said, writing on a piece of paper with a black marker.
"What are you writing?" Yuki asked, peering over at the paper.
"Nothing." Haru quickly moved it so no one can see it. After that, there was silence for a while, what seemed like hours until Kira finally broke the silence,
"… Where are we?" she asked quietly.
Kyo sighed, shaking his head in exasperation, "You mean to tell us we've been driving to no where? I thought you were good with directions!"
"Everything looks different when you're driving!" Kira protested.
"We're on the highway. Take that exit." Haru pointed out
"How do you know?" Yuki asked.
"Yeah, you're the perpetually lost boy." Kyo snickered
"I've wander onto the highway once. Actually everything seems much more easier when you're driving." Haru said.
"Fine! You drive!" Kira said, pulling over and getting out of the car. Haru got out and walked over to the driver's seat while Kira stalked over to the passenger's seat.
"Get out!" Kira told Kyo, pointing towards the back seats.
"What? I want to sit here!" Kyo complained
"GET OUT!" Kira shouted. Kyo finally got up and moved to the back, letting Kira sit in the front.
"Calm down, Kira. You too, Kyo" Haru said as he started the car up again. Kira said nothing but just sunk down in her seat and pouted.
"Psh… why should I take orders from a stupid punk?" Kyo insulted. Now, Haru had been very patient throughout this whole illegal ordeal, being called stupid just pushed him over the edge.
"Because if you don't, I might do THIS!" Haru's eyes changed and he swerve the car over, into the tiny forests that lined the highway.
"Haru… calm down…OH MY GOD!" Kira screamed as they nearly crashed into a large tree but Haru quickly turned, avoiding it.
"SHIT! Haru! Calm down! CALM DOWN!" Kyo yelled.
"Don't listen to that stupid cat! Haru! CALM DOWN!" Yuki also pleaded. Tohru had just closed her eyes, trying to breathe and calm her heart rate down.
"P-p-please Hatsuharu-san… stop… please stop." Tohru begged.
Haru ignored all of their requests, continuing to drive through the woods until the trees seem to clear and it just became rocky dirt underneath them…
"Haru! HARU! STOP THE CAR! WE'RE ON A CLIFF!" Kira shrieked, closing her eyes while Kyo put his arms around her from the back seat.
"HARU! SLOW THE CAR DOWN! SLOW IT DOWN!" Yuki yelled, hitting his cousin in the head.
"I-I can't… the brakes won't work…" Haru said, calming down a bit.
The car continue to drive closer and closer to the edge until finally…
Sohma Estate:
"Well… this isn't good…" Hatori said, observing the wreckage on the streets.
"Oooo! Haa-san was stupid this time! He left the keys in the car!" Shigure laughed and danced.
"Shut up. Let's just hope they don't get arrested…" Hatori said as a vein began to throb on his forehead.
"Don't worry, if they do, it will be with YOUR license plate! HAHA!" Shigure laughed.
"You're never going to let me forget this, are you?" Hatori said, shaking his head as he began to head back to the main house.
"Nope!" Shigure grinned like a maniac.
"Right… so do you want to prepare the funeral or should I?" Hatori asked calmly.
"… I'll do the funeral with Aaya and you can look for his will…" Shigure said seriously, for what seemed like the first time in his life.
"Where do you think his will might be?" Hatori questioned
"I don't know. He never let me handle the documents. I guess we'll have to ask Kureno or Ren-san…" Shigure said
"We still have to tell them about his death, you know."
"Hmm… yeah…" Shigure nodded with a faraway look in his eyes.
"…So did everything go as you plan? Have you had your fun and amusement?" Hatori asked, watching Shigure's reaction.
"…No. I messed with his head and I'll just mess with the new head of the family." Shigure said.
"But… I don't think that the new head might be as controlling, whoever he or she may be. I always thought after he finally died, everything would fall apart and into place. The Sohma clan will fall apart…" Shigure continued.
"…No, I always thought that the Sohma clan would finally come together. That the bond he always fractured would finally heal…" Hatori commented.
"Hmm, yeah… let's just hope it heals the right way." Shigure said, beaming at his stoic friend.
