This Lullaby
Shadows of the past
"Ha, you call yourself a mother? You're trying to kill your own daughter and you call yourself a mother? So all this time, you just wanted to use my magic for you your stupid and selfish reason and you think you still have the right to call me your daughter? I don't think so!" Kagemusha stumbled away from the woman that she called a mother. Her face was scrunched up in anger and it was all directed at Arachne. What right did she have to still call her a daughter after all that she had put her through? Even her stupid Aunt Medusa still loved her more than her own spider loving mother did and SHE was still trying to kill her!
Kagemusha just kept on walking through the streets, trying to find another way to escape her mother's intense glare that was burning a hole through her back. She had a family now, and she is a way better mother than Arachne ever was. With her two sons and a daughter, Kagemusha had never felt happier in her life, now her mother was trying to ruin that. She saw about two spiders scuttle on the floor. Kagemusha knew what this meant. Two spiders meant war. She had to fight the witches.
She spun round on her heels and glared at her mother. "I'll fight you. I'll show you never to mess with me in your whole entire lifetime." Arachne watched as her daughter was engulfed by every single shadow that was around her. She should have been proud of her, but instead she was angry and bitter that her she didn't want to become a real witch like the rest of them.
~x~
Tsubaki sat up gasping for air. She had felt the murderous intent that had practically swallowed them up. Their soul wavelengths were off the charts! As soon as she got her breathing back in check, she turned her head to look at the figure sleeping on the other side of the bed. She sighed with heavy relief. "At least he's still asleep." She yawned again. She was way beyond tired, but all of these dreams/nightmares were getting on her last nerves. She had sort of had enough of this all right now.
She lay back down, staring at the ceiling. She listened out for the multiple snores that were coming from the sitting room and she could hear Soul's soft breathing. It made her smile how Soul was breathing so softly. She kept on listening to him and she soon fell asleep again...
~x~
Arachne was breathing heavily and so was Medusa. Mabaa was barely holding out for her own too. The rest of the witches were scattered around, some dead, some on the brink of consciousness. It's a close fight and someone will have to drop soon. None of the witches had encountered such a worthy opponent before. This one was good. Tsubaki turned her head to see who they were all talking about. She saw Kagemusha, panting as well, but she was in a far better condition than any of them. Kagemusha was against three dozens of witches.
Tsubaki could see a smirk linger on her ancestors face. She seemed to be enjoying it. "Are you ready to give up now, mother?" There was obvious disgust in her voice showing how much she despised being her daughter. "Are you witches really this dumb? There is no way I would want to become one of you!" Tsubaki then noticed all of the remaining witches gathering around her slowly and nodding to each other. Kagemusha seemed to notice as well, but pretended to be oblivious to it all.
Finally, at the last minute, Kagemusha sat down on the floor. "I know what you all want to do and it won't work. Seeing as I will soon be coming to my own end, I guess it's time to go out with a bang." She wrapped her shadows around her and Tsubaki noticed that it was the same as her soul resonance. Her eyes turned black and her pupils were bright purple. There was suddenly a big blast from her soul as she removed it from soul protect.
"Kono sekai no kage ga, atsumaru Purezento o chūshi shi, anata jishin no kokoro o sodateru Watashi no tamashī wa, watashi no tamashī wa karera to watashi no rippana shison to redside o mitsukeru Kage no hon o fūin suru Tsugi no kage no senshi o mitsukete kudasai! (A/N: The shadows of this world, gather together. Cease the present, and grow your own minds. My soul, my soul, find my worthy descendant and reside with them. Seal the book of shadows. Find the next shadow warrior!)
They all gasped and tried to run forward, but it was too late. The seal had already been done. They watched as she burned out and all of the shadows grabbed her body and took their Queen back home. The only thing remaining was her soul. Before Arachne could scoop it up with the book, the soul and the book vanished in a black wisp. She growled out in anger. The only thing left was to destroy the Nakatsukasa family before they could become a clan.
Before Tsubaki could run away from the scene, the scene began to run away from her. Her jaw dropped as she suddenly found herself all alone. The scene was vanishing slowly. "Wait, what?" A heavy wind was coming from nowhere that she had to wrap her arms around her face and shut her eyes as brace herself from being lifted up from the ground. She could hear voices, people screaming, and people cursing. Everything went calm around her. She placed her arms back to her back to her side and when she reopened her eyes, she saw a woman standing in front of her. She gasped and reeled backwards. The woman seemed to look a lot like her...
The woman smiled and held out her hands towards Tsubaki. "No, Tsubaki. It is you who looks like me." Tsubaki's brain shut down as she gave her an unintelligent look. "Wait, what? You can read my mind?" She nodded. "This is a dream after all, but not really a dream if you get what I saying." Tsubaki nodded. "Is this a fragment of my memory?" The older woman in front of her looked off to the side and nodded. "Tsubaki, I'm the original Kagemusha. It's finally time I got to see who was worthy enough of receiving my soul. I hope you're doing well."
Tsubaki felt like fainting. "Wait, you're Kagemusha? Wow!" Kagemusha smiled at her and conjured up a shadow chair for Tsubaki and herself. They both sat down and faced each other. "So as you must have noticed, I've called you here for a reason. I made you see the shadows of the past for a reason. I want you to see what happened on that night. As you must already know, my soul is in yours."
Tsubaki nodded. "Yes, I know that much. I have been reading through the book of shadows and every Nakatsukasa has to know the story of Kagemusha, our greatest grandmother yet." Kagemusha giggled and rolled her eyes. "Oh please, you make me sound old! I might be old, but didn't live as long as the other witches have!" Her face turned into a frown as though she remembered something. "Is... Is my mother- no why do I still insist on calling her that? Is Arachne still alive?" Tsubaki shook her head slowly. "No, from what I heard, a friend of mine, a demon weapon, has already eaten her soul. I think that Medusa is still alive though." Kagemusha looked thoughtful before nodding. "What about Mabaa?"
Tsubaki shrugged. "Probably. All I know is that I've never seen her before, and I don't think I am ready to see her. Her soul wavelength is on par with Shinigami-Sama's too." Kagemusha groaned as she leaned back in the chair and covered her eyes with her hands. "As if she wasn't stronger before! Now we have to deal with that? You're just lucky! Your natural soul wavelength was already strong enough, and adding mine just makes you ten times as strong! That's not want I'm here to talk about though. I've come to talk to you about the war."
Tsubaki sat still. Her body was tense all over. "War?" Her voice was quiet and barely a whisper. Kagemusha put on a serious face. "Yes, war. I didn't know what I was doing at the time, but it would seem like that book is way too important. And because I made that book using shadow magic, I can't get rid of it as long as shadows still exist. I just made it as a diary not a plan for evil! You're strong, but you're not strong enough. These witches have had over 800 years to train, while you've only had 5 years. It's not fair on you, but hey, they're witches, they were never fair. I'm just going to have to do one thing. I'll give you the knowledge of the shadows and the pain and horror. It might break you, but I hope you're ready."
Tsubaki smiled and gave her an encouraging look. "There was a reason that I was picked for your Soul right? Of course I'm ready!" Kagemusha nodded and placed her hand on Tsubaki's forehead. She pushed the remaining amount of her soul into Tsubaki, and many events went flashing right through her eyes. Some were her own; while others were from the old times. The ones that were hers were the ones that scared her the most. Memories that she had thought had been locked up for good. Kagemusha gave her a weak smile. "You're ready now..."
~x~
"Tsubaki? Tsubaki you've got to wake up! It's just a bad dream!" Tsubaki's eyes shot open and navy pools were staring at red pools. Soul was still lingering above Tsubaki. Their gazes held with each other's for a while before Tsubaki's eyes filled up with tears. "I'm sorry Soul!" Soul was confused as to why she was crying, but he gathered her into a hug anyway. He was sitting cross legged on her bed and he simply pulled her into his lap. Without even knowing it, Tsubaki pushed her face into Soul chest, sobbing and crying while repeating that she was sorry. Soul simply stroked her hair, feeling angry with himself that he couldn't help her out, while she clutched onto his shirt as though it were the only thing that was keeping her from crying herself to death.
"Soul, I'm so sorry, I really am." The said man rested his chin on top of Tsubaki's head. "I don't even know what you've done wrong that you're apologizing to me for. "What was that dream all about?" Tsubaki pulled away gently to wipe her tears, but Soul still had a protective arm around her waist, as if to stop her from running away. Tsubaki looked away from his as though she were ashamed. "When you were infected by the black blood, did you ever have... nightmares? Things that scared you?"
Soul tensed and Tsubaki felt as though she had asked a private question. "F-forget that I asked that question." Soul shook his head. "No, it's alright. Just what type of things are you dreaming about?" Tsubaki leaned into his chest again as though she were trying to avoid answering him. Soul was momentarily shocked, but he wrapped his arms around her even tighter. "I guess it was about how I wouldn't be able to protect Maka and how I would just pop out of her skin the same that Ragnarok popped out of Chrona. Sometimes, I was just plain scared that I might lose myself to the madness. Man, I hated for being so weak!"
Tsubaki nodded and it tickled Soul a lot. "So, would you like to tell about yours now?" Tsubaki stiffened and then shook her head. Soul heard her murmur something incoherent. "What was that? I don't think I can hear you if you're speaking into my shirt." Tsubaki gave him a weak punch and Soul burst out into a grin. Tsubaki pulled away to glare at him. "I said that I dreamt about Kagemusha and the war of the witches in the old times. There, happy?" Soul nodded his head, white locks shaking in time with him. "I'm more than happy actually. Ecstatic."
That was when Tsubaki finally realized the position that they were in. Her usually pale skin turned scarlet red. She looked down into her lap, hoping that Soul would release her any time soon. When she waited for a while and saw that Soul wasn't going to let her go any time soon, she simply went limp in his arms. "Hey, do you know what the time is?" Soul turned his head to look at the clock. "Yeah, it's about 5 in the morning. Why do you want to know?" Tsubaki waved it off. "No, I just want to know why I still feel so tired. I mean, I already woke up once tonight."
Finally Soul released her. She crawled out of his lap as she lay back on her side of the bed as he got on his side. Soul still turned on his side to watch Tsubaki as she stared up at the ceiling. Her black hair was sprawled out all over her pillow making it as though she were an Angel. "So it's not the first dream then?" Tsubaki shook her head as she turned to face Soul. "No, it's not. Some were from the memories of Kagemusha, while some were just my fear." Soul knew not to press on with that one. He would have to wait as to if she would want to talk about it with him. She didn't.
"Well, I'm still tired right now, so I'm going back to bed." She faced the other way with her back facing Soul. "Good night." She shut her eyes and almost immediately, she fell asleep. She just about caught Soul telling her good night. She smiled as she fell back into yet another dream.
~x~
There was a lake and the sun was shining brightly while a gentle breeze cut through the air. It looked like it was summer time. Tsubaki looked puzzled. "Okay, there's a lake here now? What is this, another one of Kagemusha's memories?" Tsubaki shook her head. No, the old times were grim and, well OLD. She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a white dress that seemed to hug unto her curves. She looked shocked when she saw herself wearing a boob tube. "Okay, just what the hell is going one here?" A voice piped up from behind her. "Well, if you come over here, I might be able to tell you."
Tsubaki's eyes widened. That voice... She turned round and was met with intense red eyes staring at her warmly. "S-Soul? What are you doing here?" Soul walked up next to her and stared down at her. "Well, this is your dream right?" Tsubaki thought about it and felt a little disappointed. She had half hoped that maybe this was actually real. Soul chuckled a little at her face. He put a tanned hand under her chin and rose up her head for her to look at him. "Why are you glum Tsubaki? I'm here to repay a favor." His hand swiftly moved from her chin and he took her hand. It was the same feeling as when the real Soul grabbed her hand before.
"Where are we going?" Soul turned round as he walked and put a finger to his lips. "Shh, you'll see when we get to it." She kept her mouth shut as she led her next to the lake. She could see all kind of assorted fish swimming around in the lake and she ogled at it. "It's beautiful." Soul smiled at her. "It's not the only beautiful thing too." Tsubaki looked up at his face and tilted her head. "What's more beautiful than that?" Soul shook his head and grabbed for her hand again. "You played the piano for me, so I'll play the piano for you."
That was when she noticed a white grand piano, situated right next to the lake, looking clean and untouched. It looked like the same one that Soul played the first time that she heard him. He sat down on the stool and beckoned for Tsubaki to join him. "You remember this don't you?" Tsubaki nodded, feeling dumb. "Good, because I hope that you remember this piece." As she sat down, Soul turned to play the piece that Tsubaki knew very well. It always made her cry. It was as though everything else around them was forgotten. Tsubaki just stared at the man next to while he played.
The end of the piece came too quickly came way too fast for Tsubaki. Once Soul finished playing, he lifted up her chin again. "Before, you asked me what was more beautiful than the fish and the lake. The answer is simple, it's you."
Tsubaki's mind was reeling and all of a sudden, she was awake. She sat up quickly from her lying position. She felt like crying. "It was only a dream. But I wish it wasn't!" She leaned forward and rested her head into her hands. She realized that there was no warming presence next to her. She raised her head, just a fraction to see if Soul was still there. Her eyes widened. She turned to the clock and gasped. How could it be eleven o'clock already?
She jumped out of her bed and ran out of the room. There seemed to be nobody around. She walked into the kitchen, still smelling the remains of food. There was some breakfast waiting for her, still warm. She smiled and sat down heavily and a not under the plate caught her eye. She peered at it curiously and beamed when she recognized Soul's handwriting. He had left a note!
Hey Tsubaki, I guessed that you'll still be tired, so Maka left some breakfast for you and we headed out. I forgot to tell you, we kind of work in DWMA now, and I think that Shinigami-Sama is expecting you too as well. You might want to head down ASAP though, because you'll be missing your class!
P.S I hope that your dreams have calmed down now.
Tsubaki almost chocked on her eggs. She had to teach? Why wasn't she told about it before! She wolfed down her food and ran into the shower to get ready. She was a teacher now and she was NOT setting a good example.
~x~
She had already been given her timetable of what classes she'll be teaching and when. She thought that she would have been given P.E. because of her being a ninja weapon. She was right. At least she came in some baggy trousers and a tank top. She hoped that she wouldn't be messed about today. She walked out into the open and was met with a whole bunch of kids running around the track, or doing some sort of training with their miester and weapon. Tsubaki sighed in relief. This shouldn't be too hard then...
Man how she wished she was right! As soon as she stepped onto the field, some boy turned round with a grin. "Hey guys! It's not our normal teacher! You know what this means? Fill in teacher!" Tsubaki's ears were filled with 'Whoops' and 'yeahs' as her eyes twitched. She didn't think she would have to resort to this but...
She removed her hair band and let her hair cascade down. At the same time, her hair turned into chains and she grabbed each and every child. All of their eyes almost bulged out their heads. What kind of a fill in teacher was she? She was worse than the other fill in teacher! Tsubaki held them all high up in the air, all by their legs and she dangled them upside down. She gave them all a disapproving look. How old are you all? Like what, 13, 14? Act your age. Now, who said I'm filling in? I'm your PERMANENT teacher till you leave here, you got that? Good, we should all get along with each other very well!"
One of the boys spluttered in anger. "You're not out teacher! Our usual fill in is that man with the blue hair! He works us to the core, but he is cool! We don't want a woman!" Some boys agreed while the mini perverts shut told them to shut up and look at her beauty. Some girls were happy that they had a female teacher. Tsubaki smirked at the boy. She brought in his chain closer to her. "Oh, is that so? Just to let you know, I'm that blue haired man's weapon. Black Star is MY miester. So in other words, I know his type of training very well."
She let go of the chain that held his leg and watched as he dropped head first into the floor. "I only feel sorry for your weapon though, because now the two of you have to run twenty laps around the field." The boy's jaw dropped and Tsubaki heard an angry proclaim from a girl in the air. "Oh thanks a lot Natsu! Now we are doing four times more than what Black Star-Sensei ever told us to do!" Tsubaki snorted. "Black Star only made you do five? Man he must've softened up over the years." She placed the girl down gently along with the others. "Well, get to it!"
The boy called Natsu quickly jumped up and grabbed his weapons hand to drag her around the field. Tsubaki turned to face the others. You are all going to do a little test now. I want to see your combat skills." She pulled a list out of her pocket and began to read out some names. While they all got ready, Tsubaki smirked to herself. Oh yeah, this was going to be a fun year.
~x~
Soul flopped down in the staff room. His class was an easy class. All he had to do was look after the gifted and talented and in his spare time, he would just teach others about the stupid 99 soul rule. It was an easy life. Maka passed him a coffee and settled down next to her weapon. Maka had more or less taken over Stein's place, only she didn't dissect things. Stein had to come in personally if that was to happen. "So how's your class doing?" It had been a while with her just casually talking to her weapon. She usually spent all of her time with Kid.
Soul took a sip of the hot drink and shrugged. "They're doing fine, but if you just want to ask about how I am, you should just ask." Maka smiled. Her weapon knew her too well. "Fine then, how are you?" Again, Soul shrugged. "I'm doing fine. I just wonder if Tsubaki managed to wake up alright. She was sleeping rough last night." Maka raised an eyebrow as she took a gulp of her drink. "Oh? What was wrong with her?" Soul shifted on the chair. "She had dreams about the witches and stuff like that. Sort of like me with the black blood."
Maka fell silent. Soul's had been a really bad case, and if Tsubaki was to permanently have a witch soul within her, it was going to be something very hard. "That bad huh?" Maka watched as he nodded. "I think that we should take her to go and see Kim. Kim would know what to do. Kim might have even heard of Kagemusha." Soul's head snapped up at Maka suggestion. "It might work, but I'm not sure if Tsubaki wants people to know." The boor opened and in came Liz wearing a sort of white lab coat who nodded at the two of them with her miester right behind her. Liz was their new school nurse who took an interest in nursing right after Medusa was found out and Kid was just taught anything. Whatever he felt like teaching that day, that was what he would teach.
His yellow eyes scanned Maka and Soul. "Something important I'm guessing," and Soul just nodded. "We're just talking about if we should Tsubaki should talk to Kim." Liz looked skeptical as she grabbed some juice out of the fridge. "Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure that she would want people to know about it. Do you honestly think that a teacher would want to go and see a guidance counselor? It might be worth it though." Kid only grunted as he flopped himself down next to Maka. Seeing as it was still school hours, they weren't allowed to show their public affections.
They all heard shouting down in the hallway, but it soon died down. Tsubaki burst through the door smiling. "Wow, I can't believe that I'm a teacher! It's so funny!" They all watched as she was twirling around the room until she ended up flopping into a seat. She had a dreamy look on her face. Kid looked up. "I'm guessing that you like it then." Tsubaki nodded furiously. "I love it! I have such an interesting class! That boy, Natsu and his partner Luna remind me so much of how Black Star and I used to be when he was so rash about things! It's sort of funny too."
She held up her hand and Liz threw her a bottle of water, which she drank happily. "So why didn't any of you tell me that I was a teacher now?" Liz leaned on the counter and smiled. "We wanted it to be a sort of surprise for you. We didn't know how you would take it if we told you then." Tsubaki nodded and looked out of the window. "It's cool. Just feels sort of funny coming back here as a teacher. Seems that I missed out on a lot of things." She leaned back in her chair with a smile. "So, I heard that you all wanted me to go and see Kim."
Their eyes widened and they gulped softly. Maka looked at her coffee. "How did you know that?" Tsubaki looked at her with mock shock. "Oh so you did? Really, I was just guessing but it turns out that reverse psychology works out best in times like this..." She laughed at the looks that she was getting. "Okay, okay! I could hear you all talking through your shadows. I heard my name, so I wanted in. I don't always listen in on people." They all sighed with relief and Liz threw her bottle in the bin. "I need to get going now. Who knows who would've gotten hurt in the short amount of time that I've been gone?" Tsubaki gave her a sheepish and guilty look. "Erm, Natsu?"
Liz roller her eyes playfully and walked to the door. "It's nothing new. I just don't like him coming because he likes my big bouncy watermelons. Little pervert." She swiftly moved out of the room. Kid's eyes rolled over to look at the clock. "Well, I'm teaching history today, and I think there's something to do with a mash up class with you Soul." The white haired man slapped his forehead. "Crap, I forgot! Yeah, yeah I'm coming in a minute." He stood up and gulped down the rest of his coffee. "Ready. Bye you two." Kid simply bent down to place a kiss on Maka's lips and he nodded at Tsubaki.
Soon, it was only the two women left. Tsubaki sighed as she stared down at her water. "So...do you really think that I should go and talk to Kim about it?" Her voice was quiet, almost as though she was scared of people finding out about her. Maka smiled softly at her friend. "Only if you want to. It's only because Kim would be the only one to understand what being a witch means. If you want it to be sorted out, then you should just talk to her as a friend." Tsubaki looked up and her sad eyes met bright emerald green ones. Maka was always so brave. She sighed in defeat. "Okay then, I will. It's my free lesson." Maka sat back smiling even bigger. "Sure, I'll find you later okay? Right now I've got a class."
The two of them walked out and nodded to each other as they went in opposite directions.
~x~
Tsubaki stood outside the office. She found it so funny how a teacher would need some counseling. She took in a deep breath and turned the doorknob. She pushed the door and saw her pink haired friend sitting in her seat looking at a bunch of files. As soon as she heard the door open, she was greeted by her friend who had left five years ago. Kim beamed as she moved up from her seat. "Tsubaki? Wow, it is you! Wow how are you? It's been five years since we last saw you!" Kim laughed and Tsubaki couldn't help but giggle too. Kim was always the cheery one, but she was still serious. Tsubaki made sure as to shut the door behind her.
She took the set in front of Kim and looked around the office, trying to stall. Kim frowned a little. "Tsubaki, is there something bothering you?" Tsubaki was startled by her voice and almost jumped out of her skin. There was no point lying now. "She sighed and face the pink haired woman. "Kim, I came here to ask you for some help." Kim looked troubled. "What? What had happened?" Tsubaki looked up to see a worried expression pass through Kim's face. "Kim, you're a witch, so I came to ask you for help. How do you deal with it?"
From worry to confusion, Kim was struck dumb by the question that she had been asked. "Huh?" The raved haired woman looked at the wall. "Kim, I'm a witch too. Just how do you deal with it?" Kim gasped. "Tsubaki... You? How? Why?" Tsubaki started from the beginning, from the point of when she found out all the way to her nightmares. By the end of the explanation, Kim sat back, rubbing her temples. "So you're the legendary Kagemusha? That's pretty intense you know?" Tsubaki nodded and Kim looked thoughtful.
"You'll just have to embrace it." She took in Tsubaki's puzzled look and elaborated. "What I mean is that you have to look at it as though they are your own memories. You're so scared that you're trying to push this all back onto the original Kagemusha, when technically she's dead. You can't push your responsibility on a dead person can you? You have to face the fact that this is what you're going to have to do now. That's all I have to say to you. I know that it would be quite hard, but eventually, you will come to understand it and it won't be an edgy memory in the shadows."
Tsubaki sat back. "Wow, you are good you know." Kim smiled. "Of course I am! But from what you're telling me, it seems like you're trying to hide your unwanted memories into the shadows. Tsubaki, a witches magic is there for one thing, but there are some certain things that you can't do. The shadows aren't letting you hide your secrets. Kagemusha is Kage no Joo. She's not letting that happen. You have to just face it I guess." Tsubaki paled. She knew that she was right, but she just didn't want to remember them.
"Are you sure that there is no other way?" Kim shook her head and Tsubaki gritted her teeth. "I guess that I'll just have to get over it this way huh?" Kim gave her a nod of her head and waved as Tsubaki got up to leave. "Oh yeah! Tsubaki?" She waited for the blue eyes woman to turn round to give Kim her attention. "It's not good to keep the fact that you like Soul inside of you!" Tsubaki's eyes widened as she blushed deeply. "S-shut up Kim!" The woman laughed as Tsubaki burst out of the room, red as Soul's eyes.
Kage no Joo= Queen shadow
So did you enjoy it?
I would love to send my love to Aku12. You review on every chapter and you were the first to review too! Just forget about the guy! I hope this chapter was good enough for you!
Then there's Witch-of-the-forest. You said that I wrote maturely. I really can't get over that! It seems so unlike me, but it's still touching to know that! I just want to say thank you! I hope this chapter was up to standards too!
Please don't forget, rate or hate, flames or floods!
