Chapter 27

Gosh, I feel like an elephant is sitting on top of me, I thought as I tried to move in bed. Suddenly, I felt a burning sensation in my eyes. I realized it was the sun. Matte, it was dark just now… why is there light? Just then I heard a rustle. Who's there?

I tried opening my eyes but they felt like lead. So I decided to open my mouth… Shit! It felt like the Sahara desert.

"Don't strain yourself, Kameko-chan," the voice startled me. Yuki-Onna? I tried to move but yet again, I felt the 'elephant' sitting on top of me.

I mumbled something unintelligible and I could hear her pouring something. Then I felt an arm behind me, trying to lift me up. My back felt like it had being stabbed in several places. I winced in pain as I tried to get up.

"Kameko-chan, I'm sorry; you are still weak," stated Yuki-Onna. Is she feeling sorry for me?

This time I made a huge effort to talk, "Yu… Yuki-Onna, I'm fine… I need… water, please," I begged as I was finally able to sit up, but my eyes where still closed. I felt her placing a glass in my hand.

"It has a straw," she said. With my other hand I tried looking for the straw and when I found it, I did my best to place it in my mouth.

"Yuki-Onna, how long have I being sleeping?" I asked. I could feel her hesitation, even if it was for a second.

"You've being out for 2 days straight," she said. "Even Zen-sama came to check on your wounds, but he saw that you where ok, so he said not to disturb you… the same was for Rikuo-sama…"

"How is he?" I asked again. I hope he's doing alright…

"He's being also resting for the past few days but he wasn't knocked out like you where," I felt her sit on my desk chair.

I finally managed to open my eyes; it was all still blurry and the light was stabbing my eyes but I knew I just needed to get used to it.

"Oi, Yuki-Onna… hmm, why are you doing this?"

She kept silent, as if pondering what to answer.

"Look, I know you don't like me and I respect that…"

She interrupted me, waving her hands and saying, "I have already come into terms with the fact that Rikuo-sama is not going to love me, at least no that way," she stated. I could feel the deep sadness in her voice, making me feel horrible. I have taken away from her the man she loves… how can I be so selfish?

Just when I was about to mutter something else, she interrupted me once again saying:

"Don't feel bad for me, Kameko-chan," she giggled; I was surprised. "I have set my eyes on someone else," she giggled even more.

"Can I ask who would it be?" I could feel the tense air fading away, replaced by an air of cheerfulness.

She giggled again, "Fufu, I won't tell you… I don't wanna jinx it…"

"I understand," I giggled too.

I was feeling very happy for her. Maybe, one day, we could be friends.

I can't remember class being this boring, I sighed as I looked across the room and saw the same faces I've being seeing for the past few months. Finally nobody stared at me anymore or paid any attention to my tantrums, my fights with Rikuo and me trying to break Kubinashi and Itaku apart whenever they fought. Yuki-Onna, Yura and I were hanging out at lunch almost every day and I could feel Yuki-Onna being more cheerful around me. I was glad for that. She seemed an amazing youkai and one of Rikuo's most faithful subordinates. Rikuo counted on her for everything and I knew I could too.

I felt a tap in my shoulder and turned to the right to see a smiling human Rikuo standing by my desk.

"Class is done for the day," he said, his cute smile not leaving him for once. I was totally into my thoughts I didn't even hear the bell ring.

I sighed, "It's getting boring now, Nura-kun. No more death threats, no more fighting, besides Kubinashi and Itaku, no more instigating…. (sigh) Its not good anymore…"

"Well, after every war there's a time of peace… for sure something will spring up again, after all, this is a school for youkais… its never boring here," said Rikuo with a big smile. I couldn't but feel all the butterflies flying evilly inside my stomach.

I saw him turn around to make sure no one was there and he stole a kiss from me. Both of us blushed after we departed lips.

As we where walking hand in hand towards the library (unlike his youkai half who doesn't like to set foot on the library), people where staring at us, manly because human Rikuo is a bit shorter than I am. It is a bit off putting; youkai Rikuo is a head taller than me, when I am already taller than my female peers.

We found a nice couch to sit on and study near one of the windows that looks towards the mountains. I sighed in contentment of how peaceful it felt. I know battling is a tad more exciting but there's no meaning in going into war and protect what you love if you don't value peace.

As I continued gazing at the horizon, I felt a hand gripping mine. He gave it a reassuring squeeze and went back to his book. We sat there on the floor, with our backs to the couch (I seriously don't understand why we did that, but we did it anyways…). We continued holding hands while each one was reading their own books.

"Well, well, well… if it isn't the cute little couple…" said Itaku mockingly. A wall separated our little corner and said youkai was leaning on that said wall. My temper was beginning to rise at his remark. Rikuo only sighed and looked at him with passionate eyes and said,

"Itaku, I will prefer if you kept your witty remarks to yourself."

I turned towards Rikuo in shock, knowing that him in his human form is less cocky and more considerate than his youkai counterpart; so did Itaku.

"Look, I did not come here to cause trouble…"

"What are you doing here then, weasel," I interrupted.

"Just to give you this, Kameko," he said as he delivered a closed note. It had my name written on the front.

"Who gave this to you?" I asked as I opened it with one of my sharp nails.

"Dunno, it was at sensei's desk the moment we finished class… someone must have left it there…"

"So, it might be someone from your class," asked Rikuo.

"Probably, I don't know… I don't even recognize the writing," responded the weasel youkai. "What does it say," he continued.

"Ah, yeah" as I began to read the note:

"Do not forget the taste of fear…"

I continued staring at it, meanwhile Itaku and Rikuo shared glances. My blood quickened and I could feel the heat thickening inside me. My 'fear' flared causing Rikuo to fall to the side, trying to get away from me.

"Kameko… Kameko, calm down…" reassured Rikuo. I was growling. I couldn't feel or hear anything but my youki calling for blood… I could feel an insatiable thirst for blood… blood….

Her hair began to change: from her midnight black to silver white, pointy dog ears held high, dark purple marks graced her cheeks, while her eyes' whites turned into a deep crimson red and her pupils where a dark purple. Her growling became more ferocious and her sleek fingers grasping the note, turned into claws.

In her distant mind she could hear a boy calling her name, "Kameko, Kameko, Kameko…"

All her surroundings became a blur as she charged towards someone who looked menacing standing in front of her. As she jumped to attack the person, she caught a glimpse of another being standing probably 10 feet away from her with a bow and arrow pointing towards her. She decided to change targets and Kameko charged toward her assailant; only to hear the twang of the bow releasing the arrow… A faint memory appeared but she shoved it away… She saw a green light surrounding her as a great force tried to pull her down to the ground, but she overcame it…

Only to be struck by the arrow, piercing her chest…
