''You may be Hikari's father, but not mine!'' Kurai shouted to my father as she stormed off the room. Was it possible to have a mid-mid-life crisis?
''Kurai!'', Gabrielle yelled after her, Yamato holding her in his arms as she started to sob. Whoa. He sat down slowly, letting her the time to calm down.
''Maybe I should run after her..?'' I asked, uncertain. They didn't hear me though, as Mom kept saying:
''Kurai, Kurai… My beloved child… Why? Why? Was I a bad mother?'', before she suddenly started to sob again. My father patted her back gently, saying in a low voice that it was okay and it would be just fine…
Hum…hello?
"Mom, Dad?" That's when they snapped out.
''Oh Hikari! Since when were you here dearest?'' Gabrielle asked. I looked at my father but he had the same confused look.
"Not long ago, I just arrived. Was wondering if everything was okay. Where's Ku…My sister?''
''Oh… She needed air… I do not know where she might be at the moment, sorry.'' She replied, giving me a forced smile. It was then that she looked clearly at me, frowning as she looked at my hair and my eyes. She seemed confused.
''My, you've grown in such a beautiful young woman, Kurai!'', she said sheepishly, with a sweet smile. I left the room. I was happy to finally meet my mother, the woman who gave birth to me! Guess she wasn't as thrilled as I was. Heck! Even Dad did not recognise me.
I walked slowly through the hallways, saying some cheerful 'Hello's' to the people passing by, and knowing Kurai wouldn't be far, since she had never been here before, I walked through the different hallways.
And I continued walking straight ahead, where I knew I would find my sister. Close to the dorms, where there were countless little dark corners, in which people had often curled into little balls and cried everything out.
As I was about to turn a corner of a wall when I saw her resting her back against another wall, right in front of me.
''Hello Onee-chan!'', I said with my biggest smile and my happiest tone.
''Shut up and get the hell out of here before I kill ya.''
''Ouhhhh…Onee-chan is so scawy! I must tell Mom and Dad right away!''
''Yeah, why don't you do that? I don't care. I hate both of them anyways. You as well.''
''Hate you too sister!'', I replied with my cheerful face still on. ''Kiddinggggggggggggg!'', I continued with the most childish, high pitched voice I could make. That pissed her off.
''Shut up, idiot. I'll shoot your head off again if you don't stop.''
''Wahhhh! Onee-chan is so meany! But Hikari-chan didn't do anything! Why is she so meany with Hikari?'' All Kurai could do was face palming her forehead, sighing heavily in the process.
''You are such an idiot. Just like her. Superficial, weak, useless. I'm so glad I didn't get educated properly by her. Only God knows how I would have ended up. Surely like you.''
''I do not see how that is an insult. And do not talk of someone you don't even believe in.''
''Whatever. I must be the demon anyways, right? I cannot think of a possibility that I might be the angel one! I'm the servant of Satan. Why would I respect God if I am his natural enemy?''
''Maybe you are right. But maybe you should remember where you are, '' I said as gently as possible, somewhat wanting to end this fight, even though I enjoyed pissing her off. I've had a similar feeling not long ago but weirdly, I could not remember exactly where and when, even less why. ''You wouldn't want to hurt anyone, would you?''
''Like I care.''
''Kurai, look,'' I began as I stepped forward. I could almost touch her. Almost.
''What? Don't get any nearer or I'll kill you!'' Seems it would be harder to talk then I expected.
''Damn it…Look, Mom is really sad, you should go and—''
''And! What, apologize? Please! You want me to be kind to her after she lied to me—to us, for fifteen years? Never will I get that low in my life. She is the one at fault! SHE has to apologize, not me!'' Kurai yelled with all her anger coming out.
''She did apologized, Dad as well. Onee-chan…'' I said slowly as I touched her shoulder with the tip of my fingers before grabbing it more firmly.
''DO NOT CALL ME BY THAT!'' She cried, a mix of tears and anger struggling with her voice. At the same time, she opened her arms widely, which were until then firmly tied against her chest, and hit me. All I felt was a burning sensation in my stomach and the oh-damned-solid wall against my back before my entire body finally fell onto the ground.
''I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU OR YOUR BASTARD OF A FATHER TO CALL ME 'FAMILY'!''
There it was, the same strange feeling. Something other than blood rushing through my veins, along with lots of adrenaline. An intense sensation of blood-lust got to my head, giving me the determination to stand against the one who dared to insult my family once again.
''Bitch,''I simply said as I pulled my upper-body of the ground, resting its weigh on my wrist. ''How did you call my father just now?'' I finished as I rose completely on my feet, leaning against the wall as a support even though I didn't need one. My voice was strangely calm at the moment and when I looked at my so called sister, she had backed away of a few steps.
''Afraid are we not, huh?'' I whispered as I licked the blood on my lips. I could not recall how the liquid got there, or why my body hurt so much, though the pain was quickly disappearing, leaving an enjoyable sense of renew behind. I felt all my strength in my arms and in my legs. My prey could try anything; she would never escape from me.
I said something and well, she did do something. She clapped her hands together and summoned a gun. The exact same one she had back then in the forest and on the roof of the building back in her world. She aimed and shot. I just tilt my head to the side before catching the bullet and throwing it away. The bullet left a small burn on the fingertips of my right hand, but as I watched, it faded away as fast as it appeared.
Kurai took that opportunity to punch my cheek. She looked surprised tough, as I barely moved from my emplacement. But in my head, it felt as if something smashed against my skull making me snap out of my blood lusting state. My vision was blurry for a second but it came back as neat was it was before.
''Thanks Kurai,'' I whispered slowly. She didn't say a thing; she only leaned against the wall and slowly slides down to the ground and hid her head in her arms.
''Sorry I guess,'' she replied finally.
''You really don't want to see Gabrielle? Not even tell her where you are?'' I asked.
''She can wait,'' she simply answered rudely. Okay…Note to myself: Do not bring up the subject again.
''Hai…Now come on.'' I said as I reached for her hand to pull her up. ''Wanna clear your head off under cold water?''
"That would be helpful."
"Follow me then!" I shouted as I stepped out of the corner and into the hallway, stepping forward to the first door there was.
"And where exactly are we going?"
"See that big hole you made when you smashed me against the wall?" She looked slightly away. "Behind that is my room."
"Oh…"
As I entered the room I saw that a few things had fallen on the ground, like little frames of me and Yamato, or me and Lavi and Allen…
"Ah lala…," I whispered as I picked up my massive mirror, somehow intact. Everything seemed fine though…The room wasn't even messier than usual.
I pushed Kurai in the bathroom.
"Wait, wait!"
"What would you like to wear," I asked her, as I changed myself into new clothes. I just putted on a black corset over a pair of black jeans and black small boots. I finally had a white and short leather jacket over all and tied my hair to the side in one loose braid.
"Well I don't know! My own clothes!"
"Pff! No way!"
Realising that my clothes would be wayyyyyyyyyy too big for her petite body, I ditched her and ran to Lenalee's room. Being as kind as she is she immediately passed me clothes and I thanked her before returning to my room.
"Oh…hum…Hello Kurai..!" Ed greeted cheerfully. Allen looked away, blushing, as my sister stepped forward, wearing one of Lenalee's black corset and her mini-shorts with a large and long fabric belt around her waist. She had her red alchemist coat over and had tied her hair into a high ponytail.
"Hello," she replied as rudely as she could, death glaring me. "She forced me to wear those." I could only grin. That was the time our parents chose to enter the cafeteria.
"Hi Dad! Mom!" I waved at them before Kurai rammed her elbow into my side.
My father nodded at me, his traditional smile spread on his face while Gabrielle smiled warmly at us.
"My, Kurai, last time I saw you, you had blond hair." She said as she caressed her hair. She didn't back off this time.
"What..?" It was my turn to hit her side. I would have to explain to her later about our Mom's sudden moment of craziness earlier today.
"Hum?" Mom really did sound innocent.
"Never mind her..!"
Edward Elric coughed a little. "I believe we did come here for another reason then a family reunion right?"
"The Philosopher's Stone." I nodded. "Come with us." I then looked at Lavi, who just nodded as well.
"If you would pleaseeeee follow me."
He leaded the way to I don't know where, because I wasn't looking. Kurai and Edward had simply followed him, Allen guarding behind them. I didn't really want to see either. All I heard was Kurai screaming: WATCH OUT, before the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
I contoured around my parents, directing my steps to the Training Room.
"Where are you going?" Yamato asked me.
"I better be ready when Kurai wake up."
"But wait—"
"No time!" I said as I started to run.
But suddenly, Yamato Kuroshi was in front of me, Gabrielle as well. She had appeared with a white halo surrounding her, while I saw a small flame dancing on his ear before suddenly vanishing.
"Then you might want to start your special training as well…"
Oulalalalalalala!
Who'S what huh?
By the way, as Kathy didn't understand a thing the first time she read, here's a little explanation!
Gabrielle did had her moment of folies, as she thought Hikari was in fact Kurai, because she didn't wish to see her at the moment.
At the end, Lavi leads Kuari and Ed to some weird room, where the Philosopher's Stone is supposed to be. In fact it's a trap! :O Ed and Kurai collapsed.
And NO, THE CHAPTER WAS NOT RUSH! I was just rly into it...
