Disclaimer: Not mine. The lyrics aren't mine either, but for the life of me I can't remember what bands song this is, part of me wants to say the rolling stones... but I'm not sure. I feel kinda bad about it actually...
'I see a red dor
And I want it
Painted
Black'
Lady Hina sat in front of her mirror, brushing her long raven hair. It fell neatly down her back, as she sung to herself a song she had heard during a trip to earth a while ago and had taken a liking to.
'Hell hath no fury...' She thought, reaching for her make up, preparing to make herself next to irresistable. 'Hell hath no fury... like a woman scorned.'
'No colors anymore
I want them to
turn
Black.'
Shuichi smiled, walking through the coridors. A newfound power and strenght flowing through him.
Ignoring stares and whispers, Shuichi headed through the maze-like castle and down towards the servents quarters.
"M-master... Shuichi?" A voice asked
Shuichi turned his hand frozen in it's elivated position to knock on Mizu's door. He looked down to find a young brunette girl straring at him.
"Yes?"
"M... Mizu isn't home."
"Huh?"
"He went... to do some errands... he said..." She continued, stuttering nervously.
"Oh..." Shuichi replied, moving away from the door, awlking away
"Master Shuichi?" The girl asked
Shuihci cocked his head.
"Yes?"
"Is it true... what the adults say about you?"
Shuchi cocked his head.
"What do you mean?"
"Is it true... that you are the Chaos wielder?"
Shuichi nodded.
"Yes."
"And... will you give tremendous strenght to Lord Kaname? And help him better rule the lands?"
Regretfully, Shuichi nodded.
"I will."
'To save him...'
"Then... you'll bring about The Darkening?"
Shuichi cocked his head again.
"The... Darkening?"
A hand reached down in front of the girls mouth, and lifted her into the arms of a rather plump woman.
"Now now dear, what have I told you about bothering your masters?"
"But--."
"No." Shuichi said "She wasn;t bothering me at all."
But the woman wasn't listening, only began to carry the little girl off.
"Talking about htinks that don't convern you. That have been forbidden by Lord Kaname, really Toshiko I thought I taught you better.
"But--."
Their voices trailed off. Shuichi scracthed his head.
'The Darkening?'
He turned around, heading back upstairs.
Kaname grinned widely.
"So, it is true." He murmered
"What?" Yuki asked angrily
"It was the same for your mother." Kaname continued
"What was?"
Kaname laughed.
"You know... Eiri..." He began "You never did take me up on that offer."
"What offer?"
"To study with me. Learn how ot fully master your power with black magics."
"No way." Yuki spat, turning to walk away
"Then how else, do you plan to master it?" He asked "How do you plan to grow strong enough, to down out that... desire... burning in your heart? The desire to kill me?"
"And you just plan to make me stronger? To help me increase my strenght knowing full well that I intend to use it to kill you?"
Kaname chuckled.
"Son. You can train with me, study for a thousand years... and you will never gain the strenght required to kill me."
"Maybe not. But Shuichi will."
Kaname's eyes widened.
"Is that why you're so afraid of him?" Yuki asked "Why you'd do anything to make sure he's on your side?"
Kaname glared at him.
"Am I right? Father?"
There as a moment of silence.
"My one-winged angel..." Kaname murmered
"I will take you up on that offer." Yuki said, apparently not hearing Kaname
"That so?" Kaname asked, turning around, preparing ot leave the room
Yuki cocked his head.
"Fath--."
The door jerked open. Mizu's head poked in.
"Pardon my intrusion... but... Lord Kaname. I think you should see this."
REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!
A.N. I hope you like this chapter. It's a bit short, but seeing as to how previous chapters have been rather long, I think we can let this one slide. LOL. I finally brought Hina back in, which is ironic because I got a request for more of her a little while after I wrote this chapter cough cough Tsuki cough cough. But I kind of like her, so expect more of her as this series goes on...
