"My... my destiny?" Shuichi spoke to the shadow in the door
"Yes. Well, more accuratly..." The figure began, stepping forwards to reveal its self as Kina. "Both of yours."
Yuki scoffed.
"Both our destinies?"
Kina nodded.
"Have a seat, Shuichi." Kina said gently "And Eiri."
He looked up at her.
"Get off my desk."
Smirking, but relenting, he nodded and stood, moving from the desk, where Kina then sat.
"Yes, both your destinies." She said softly, glancing towards the door which closed itself "Both of your destinies, your souls are intertwined." She swallowed "There's much I have to tell you Eiri. Much about yourself that you don't know."
Yuki looked up at her in rapt fascination.
"Starting with exactly who you are."
Shuichi glanced over at Yuki, sitting in the chair next to him.
"What do you mean?" Shuichi blurted
Kina chuckled softly.
"I mean..." She began, running her fingers through her dark raven hair "I have a long story to tell you." She inhaled, speaking slowly and in a soothing voice, as was her nature "I suppose... it should begin... when I met your mother."
She leaned forward, her hair brushing over her shoulders and her hands resting on the smooth cherry wood of the desk.
"It was... so long ago.. I don't even remember the year... 25 no... 50 years?" She blinked "I was hurt, after a battle... and I remember, lying in a field of rye. And then seeing her." Chuckling, she added "Maybe it was the loss of blood, but she was glowing. The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I thought she was an angel of death, there to take my soul away.
But she healed me, and cared for me until I was strong again. So, I was forever in her debt. I expected her to want some type of compensation. I expected to be a servent, or a... I dunno what. But no, she made me her companion. Her friend.
I learned that she was a goddess of... Light I suppose. She never went into great detail about it, and whenever I'd ask her...she'd give me that smile you're so good at Eiri. Flash me her white smile, and her beautiful blue eyes.. and I'd instantly forget all of my curiousities. My doubts and worries."
Yuki smiled to himself, his mind traveling back to many years ago.
'I remember now... I remember that smile...' He thought
"All was good until... well..." She chuckled "The day she met your father."
Yuki's head snapped up.
"It was unheard of. A goddess of light with..." She laughed "A demon lord." She laughed again "Oh the ridiculousness of it still makes me laugh. It was absurd at the time. Even she thought so." Calming down, she let out a long sigh. "But... that didn't stop her from loving him."
She swallowed before continuing.
"Loving him more than she could bare. She once told me that... it was as if... there was poision in her blood stream... and his lips were the only cure." She laughed again
"Okay... so we know their mushy love story..." Yuki interrupted "What's this have to do with my destiny?"
"Because." Kina continued "As couples in love often do, they made love. And created something... somewhat of a paradox."
"Me." Yuki said sofly
"Exactly." Kina laughed "And you can imagine... a goddess of light with a half demon child. "
"Must've been hell."
"She was banished from her kingdom. So long as she carried you, in her womb, in her arms... in her heart... she wasn't welcome in the light."
"So that's why we lived on earth..." Yuki muttered
"Exactly." Kina replied "I left the Kingdom with her, and for a while, we hid on earth."
"Where was my father?" Yuki asked
"Who knows?" Kina replied "He'd come and go..." She shrugged "Never was one for settling down."
"Why didn't she go with him?"
"To hell? And make his life miserable as well?" Kina asked "No. She loved him far too much to do that. So, she stayed here, amoung the people she protected. And gave birth to you. A blonde haired childed, with his golden eyes. A half god, a half demon lord. A monster in most people's eyes, but so beautiful in mine. You look so much like her it sends shivers down my spine."
Yuki closed his eyes.
"I can't help the way I look." He replied
"You shouldn't be ashamed of it." She replied "Both your parents were beautiful. Especially your mother, even up until the day she died..."
"How did she?" Yuki interrupted "Die?"
Kina chuckled.
"And her death... is where you come in, Shuichi." Kina said, not answering his question
"Me?" Shuichi asked, snapping out of his semi-comatose state
"Yes." Kina continued "She sensed a very powerful soul in you, and in her son, and knowing that she would soon die... she linked those two together. You see, you two were almost made for each other. Eiri, your mother used her power, to fuse you and Shuich's paths together."
"Why?"
"I'm not exactly sure." She replied "And what I do know... I'm not supposed to tell. But I will say this. You two are each a yin and a yang. You both balance each other out."
"That would explain that... feeling..." Shuichi murmered
"And your healing effect on Eiri." Kina added "That is your purpose. To heal him, to keep him in the light. Shuichi Shindo, you are here to be Eiri's guardian."
She then turned to Eiri.
"And Eiri. You are to protect Shuichi." She said simply
Silence.
"What?" Yuki asked
"You are to protect him." Kina repeated
"Why?" Yuki questioned
Kina rubbed her brow in annoyance.
"Because..." She sighed, her eyes narrowing and a flicker of anger showing in them "CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT YOUR MOTHER'S LAST WISHES?!"
Yuki's eyes widened, and his fingers subconsciously gripped the arm of the chair he was in.
"Yes ma'am." He replied
Calming herself, Kina continued.
"You belong to him Eiri, just as he belongs to you. You are each other's treasure. Keep each other safe."
Shuichi nodded, and after a beat, Yuki nodded as well.
"Good." Kina replied, sighing, and then her upbeat smile returning she turned to Shuichi "Shuichi, I'd appreciate it if you could return to your dorm now. I need to speak with Eiri alone."
Shuichi nodded and stood, bowing as he left.
A.N. Sorry it's been so long, but I'm glad I finally got to reveal more about Yuki's past. I've been so crazy busy that I haven't had a chance to write anything. It makes me kind of sad... Thanks for reading!
