Chapter 18 - The Girl Who Hated Humanity - Part 2
Many Years Ago
The Yasakani clan. The legend states it was one of the three clans picked to fight against the menace of the turned mad Will of Gaia know as Yamata No Orochi. Picked by the god Tsukuyomi to guard his sacred treasure... A jewel know as the Yasakani No Magatama, much is said of the reason why the god Tsukuyomi picked them, their courage, being fearless willing to sacrifice themselves, their talent to plan a strategy or their will to oppose the adversities. Whatever was the reason the Yasakani were considerated as a respetable clan in the past... But that was years ago.
The truth is that behind doors, life for the Yasakani family was full of responsabilities fallen on them being one of the two families who were in charge of guarding one of the seals, while the Kusanagi were in charge of protecting the bloodline of the Kushinada princess who Orochi wanted to use at his advantage during the infamous fight, the Yata were in charge of guarding over the main seal where the beast had been trapped after the God Susanoo had cut his eight heads and leaving him powerless for the seal of the three families to trap him, in the case of the Yasakani clan. They were put in charge by the Yata of guarding over a specific seal, after Susanoo had cut the eight heads of Orochi's original body, their spirits were trapped inside a powerful seal created by the Yata and the Yasakani, a seal that was supposed to keep them trapped and stop them from ever escape with the hopes of join back to their lord
Things marched good. Until one man dared to question the verity behind the legend of the three clans, believing this tale was nothing but a mere fairy tale, that the ancestors had made up as a way to cover up something, that there was no such thing as Orochi, the ignorant fool's name was Yakumo Yasakani.
Yakumo was the first Yasakani to question wherever the tale was truth or just a mere legend created by the ancestors, daring to challenge the elders of the clan, he went to where the infamous seal of the Hakkesshu were and opened it without any care in the world, this was Yakumo's last and biggest mistake, as a storm of spirits were freed from the seal and they made their way out of captivity searching for indicate hosts where they could reincarnate and posses them, picking what would be their human disguises as a snake that throws away his previous skin and a new one borns
The foolish Yakumo died at the hands of one of the spirits who noticing him decided to gift him with a painful death by entering in his body, the spirit eliminated any trace of life from the body of the ignorant Yasakani and took over him, picking him as his human skin... The man who came out of the cave would eventually be know as the infamous priest Goenitz.
Yakumo, now nothing more than the body of that head of Orochi by now, took advantage of the situation to blame Magai Yasakani, the son of Iori Gohyaku Yasakani who was the patriarch of the Yasakani. The truth was that Gohyaku always had a semblance of jealousy towards the Kusanagi and firmly believed his clan was the true heroes of the fight between the three families and Orochi. The man carried a thirst for power to impose his will on the all the weak and rule over the strong, with him always berating and putting his son down calling him weak comparing him to his deceased brother. Magai was used as the escapegoat by the infamous Yakumo blamed of trying to make a pact with Orochi's heads in encharge of power, being arrested and put under trial by the elders and the syndicate of the clan disappointed in his actions, despite Magai and his wife claims of innocence, Yakumo had played his cards well and proceed with the other part of his plan, to cause discord between two of the families, the detonator to what would the calamity of the Yasakani clan.
During the time Magai was put under guard for his actions, his wife Kaya Yasakani had disappeared, only for her corpse to be found near the lands where the Kusanagi lived, the Yasakani were indignant about the death of the wife of the young head of the clan, with this being taken by the Yasakani as an act of war by the Kusanagi, especially when Yakumo acting as a witness stated how two Kusanagi clan members had been the ones who kidnapped Kaya, the words of Yakumo were taken for granted and the calamity just keep growing as fueled by the anger the Yasakani would wage war to the Kusanagi, especially when the heads of Orochi made themselves present filling the heads of the family with lies and promises of power over their now rivals if they were to form a pact with them, Iori Gohyaku taking over the clan again after seeing his son as not fit to be the head formalized the pact with the Hakkesshu, being renamed by Orochi as the Yagami clan and having their flames with their sacred treasure be cursed by him and the rest was story.
This act also severed the relation between the Yasakani and the Yata, as Kaya herself was originally a member of the Yata before becoming a Yasakani, her marriage with Magai was the first register union between two members of the three clans. Kaya was considerated a prodigy among her clan having developed an ability independant of the mirror of Yata, the ability to read the minds and thoughts of others... The Yata were unaware of this but Kaya had technically been born with the ability that would be know in the future as Psycho power. The Yata were obviously indignant because of the acts of the Yasakani and retrieved the body of their relative from the now called Yagami clan, however they were unable to take Kaya and Magai's son with them, with Iori Gohyaku winning the custody of his grandson
The truth was that all of this had been cautiously planned by Yakumo, seeing the family giving in to the jealousy and anger against the Kusanagi was something they decided to exploit fully, leading the Yasakani to what would be 670 years of this kind of destructive life, never knowing the truth and how the ignorancy of Yakumo mixed with the dark emotions and ambition of Iori Gohyaku Yasakani made it easy for the Hakkesshu to dominate the clan fully as slaves of their master
The Present
"Bon appetit!" - Says Mizuki as her giant worm finally engulfs Iori fully starting to devour him in such grotesque way
"ARGH!" - Iori screams as the worm engulfs him with his screams becoming muffled as he falls inside the worm deeper and deeper
"Rakikiki! Goodbye, Iori Yagami! Rest in peace!" - Mizuki laughs as she sees her pet eating Iori alive
"(Grrr.. This damn beast, is eating me alive!)" - Thought Iori now deep in the worm's body as he felt his body being pierced by the sharp teeths of the worm covering his entire body from the inside approaching more and more to the stomacal acids from the beast that would desintegrate him fully
"(Is this the end? You have to be kidding me! What a pathetic way to die! A being like me engulfed by this stupid beast?!)" - Iori feels trapped as the sharp teeth of the worm keep impaling his body as he moves deeper and deeper to the stomach of the beast
"(Hahahaha!)" - He heards a couple of familiar laughs suddenly
"(You two! You two witches! What are you two doing here?)" - Iori
"(Have you forgot about it, Iori? We will always be there for you... After all, we are your only true friends in this world.)" - Vice
"(Face it, Iori. Only us care about what happens to you, the rest are going to laugh when they heard about your death. Oh to think this is the end... What a disappontment but I guess that demon in the form of a woman ended up proving she was stronger than you.)" - Mature
"(Shut up! Shut up! I didn't asked for your stupid opinion! Disappear, I don't need anyone!)" - Iori
"(Hehehe! Yagami just look at yourself, you're pathetic!)" - Iori heards the voice of Kyo suddenly
"(Do us a favour and die already, Iori! Nobody cares about a little piece of trash like you, you were always a loser thinking you could surpass Kyo.)" - Athena
"(Hahaha! If only you could look at yourself right now, Yagami! You look like a scared little child.)" - Terry
"(Hehehehe! I knew you were always weak, my son! You were never worthy of the power of our clan, I should had knew it!)" - Iori heards a old voice he hadn't heard in years
"(You! Shut up! You're dead, I finished with you years ago!)" - Iori
"..." - Iori sees how blood starts driping from his side of his body falling to his fingers
"(This is my blood! I'm bleeding!)" - Iori starts to feel dizzy as he keeps falling down the stomach of the worm, more sharp fangs start penetrating his body impaling his flesh and slowly killing him as he feels the hole in which he is trapped become smaller and smaller
"Argh!" - Iori shivers as more teeth impale him
"(Grrrr! This can't be the end of this.)" - Says Iori he finally passes out inside the stomach of the beast
"..." - Mizuki looks at her nails as she feel that her opponent has finally perished
"Even inside my dear pet, you were still trying to fight, but it is over now, Iori." - Mizuki
"Just like I told you, you only had luck that time but you were never nothing against me!" - Mizuki
*Beat* - Suddenly a heartbeat is heard
*Beat* - The same sound is heard again making Mizuki open her eyes in surprise
"ARRGGHHH!" - A beastly scream is heard coming from inside Mizuki's pet as this one starts twitching and moving like crazy for Mizuki's shock
"What?!" - Mizuki
"ARGGHHH!" - Another scream is heard as the worm keeps moving like crazy feeling as if something or someone was ripping through his innerds
*Crack* - The worm screams before finally exploding in millon of pieces like a ballon for the shock of Mizuki as a strange shadow lands hunched over on the ground
"Impossible!" - Whispers Mizuki as she sees the strange sporting this purple aura around him
For Mizuki's shock she sees a hunched over Iori Yagami standing with his arms flopping around and with the pupils yellow, looking like a wild animal with sharp teeth and this demonic vibe
"It can't be..." - In that moment the memories from Chizuru hit Mizuki staring at Iori
"The Riot Of Blood!" - Mizuki exclaims as finally the Wild Orochi Iori turns to look at her with such killer eyes
"..." - The two beings clash stares as Mizuki sees how the wounds in Yagami's body provoked by the sharp teeth of her pet were starting to heal up
"AARGHHH!" - Iori screams bending backwards looking at the sky before returning to be panting holding this breath
"ARGHH!" - He surprises Mizuki by running towards her, Mizuki is forced to move back as she now engages with the Wild Yagami in a hand to hand combat
"GRAGH!" - Mizuki is surprised as Orochi Iori punches her and sents her to crash to a nearby tree
"(That strength! What kind of power is this? This is the power of Orochi... But how he can be thtat strong?)" - Mizuki sees Orochi Iori approaching towards her like a rabid beast
Mizuki makes a giant tentacle come from her sleeve and uses it to rip the tree out of the ground grabing it to try to hit Iori with it but for her surprise Iori jumps over and walks on top of the tree until he arrives at where Mizuki is falling with her. Both enemies fall rolling out of the hills with Iori now on top of Mizuki starting to punch the hell out of her in such brutal way
"ARGGHH!" - Iori screams as he keep punching Mizuki on the ground
"KYOOOO!" - In the mind of Iori, he sees Mizuki as his hateful rival Kyo Kusanagi with the next punch
"Grag!" - Mizuki grab's Iori's arms and uses her hair to get Iori out of her throwing this one to the river with both attacking each other violently as Iori hits one of the seals that Mizuki put
"You're starting to annoy me, Iori! Your newfound senseless animalistic self is truly interesting but I can't allow myself to waste more time with you! Die!" - Mizuki moves her fingers exploding the seal where Iori was trapped
"Hmph! Not so tough now, isn't it? Rakikiki!" - Mizuki laughs only to see Orochi Iori rising from the water of the river and the wounds of the explosion healing again for her own anger
"(What? That should had killed him!)" - Mizuki
"GROOAARGH!" - Iori screams again throwing a barrage of seven Ura 108 Shiki: Ya Sakazuki towards Mizuki
Mizuki does her best to teleport dodging them, only to see Orochi Iori appear in front of her realizing this was just a bait to force to move herself and be near him
"DIEEEE!" - Orochi Iori attacks Mizuki with a powerful slash that cuts her throat, he keeps pummeling Mizuki using his 127 Shiki: Aoibana ending the attack with a 212 Shiki: Kototsuki In slamming Mizuki on the ground burning her face
Mizuki teleports away after Iori burns her face with her appearing behind sporting the face of a skeleton as the skin of Chizuru's face regenerates again
"(This power, how it can be? That this foolish creature slave of Orochi can be giving me this trouble!)" - Mizuki
"ARGGGHHH! DIE! DIE! KYOOOOO!" - Iori starts throwing yami barais like a lunatic attacking Mizuki not letting her escape, as Mizuki jumps summoning her pet Maju out of her sleeve to attack Iori
"Kill him Maju! Devour his bones!" - Mizuki
But for Mizuki's surprise, not even her pet is match for Orochi Iori as this one grabs the mouth of the demon dog in a struggle between the two beasts
"AH! WHAT?!" - Mizuki sees how even Maju is punched away by Orochi Iori with this flaming punch making Maju be sent covered in flames knocking Maju
Mizuki and Orochi Iori cross stares again with Orochi Iori smiling at Mizuki tasting the blood he has managed to shed out of the herald of Ambrosia
"You disgusting piece of dirt! You think you can mock me! Your pathetic creator Orochi is nothing against my dear Lord Ambrosia!" - Mizuki
"Argghhh! Hahaahahaha!" - Iori laughs after hearing Mizuki's last comment for Mizuki's own shock
"Die! Die! ARRRGHHH!" - Orochi Iori runs again towards Mizuki with the intend to kill her
Meanwhile
Athena Asamiya is seen standing in the edge of the city where the shield ends with her watching at the mess that the Mars Peopla are causing on the planet. The idol of purple hair stays silent, remembering those who had fallen with the image incluying Iori and Chizuru now
"..." - Athena opens her eyes as she holds her fist in anger
"No, no if I can't stop it." - Whispers Athena approaching the shield with determination to leave the city of Terraxia
"Where do you think you're going?" - Says a voice making itself present as Athena doesn't turn knowing this is Kyo
"Kyo-San." - Athena
"Mai told me you were acting strange, what is it Athena?" - Kyo
"... Nothing." - Athena
"It doesn't look like nothing, you know you can tell me anything you feel." - Kyo
"I said nothing. I'm alright, Kyo." - Athena
"Then I guess we can return back inside and continue with trying to find a plan to take out that thing?" - Kyo notices some hesitation from part of Athena to return inside
"I-I no. I can't return inside yet, Kyo." - Athena
"What do you mean with that? Athena, tell me what are you thinking in doing?" - Kyo
"You know what I'm thinking. Iori and Chizuru, they-they are our friends. We can't leave them behind, especially when they aren't dead yet." - Athena
"..." - Kyo looked at the face of concern from Athena with a serious face
"Listen, I know how you felt about everyone we have loss up to this point. I feel the same." - Kyo
"But this situation is very different from anything we had got ourselves into before, I told Yagami that he was free to do whatever he wanted from the start as long as he wasn't a liability for us. Athena, you need to understand that sometimes you can't just save everyone." - Kyo
"Yes you can! The Kyo I knew would never say that, he wouldn't left his friends die." - Athena
"Are you assuming Yagami, the man who has always wanted to kill me is my friend?" - Says Kyo annoyed
"He is part of our team, wherever you like it or not." - Athena
"But I should know you would say something like that, after all. You're as part of the problem as Iori himself." - Athena
"What are you saying?!" - Kyo
"Have you ever stop to think you're just feeding Iori's hatred by engaging with him in this pointless game instead of trying to talk with him, instead of trying to understand him?" - Athena
"You can't reasonate with that idiot! Stop talking like Kagura!" - Kyo
"Maybe she is right that you need to stop acting like a kid and grow up, Kyo!" - Athena
"Look! I know you worry about everyone, but by running away into the danger zone, you will make the sacrifice of those who fell from us be in vain. Is too dangerous outside, Athena. Forget about Yagami, we need to focus on the current matter at hand." - Kyo
"No Kyo, Iori isn't death. I'm tired of seeing people from our team die, I'm tired of staying with my arms crossed just watching more and more of our group die. Maybe you don't think of Iori as your friend... But I do!" - Says Athena surprising Kyo
"Athena, you can't be serious! You're going to leave us just to try to save that bastard? How do you know he is even still alive?" - Kyo
"I don't know but I'll find him, he went to confront Mizuki. He won't be able to defeat her alone, he needs our help, Kyo." - Athena
"..." - Kyo stays silent
"No, Athena. He doesn't. We have more important things to do, stop thinking about that man and pay attention to what is important!" - Kyo
"No! I see it now that I can't count with your help, fine! Stay here, I'll go alone and bring Iori back before that demon kills him." - Athena in that moment starts approaching to the shield
"Athena! You aren't going anywhere!" - Kyo runs behind her grabing her hand stopping her
"Give me a good reason to not leave! I don't plan to listen to you anymore, Kyo!" - Athena turns to see Kyo angry as she uses her psycho power to push Kyo back
"Athena wait!" - Kyo sees how Athena with a serious face teleports outside the dome
"Don't worry about me, I'll be returning with Iori safe and sound. I now see that my dear friend Kyo has changed alot. Truth to be told, you used to be a inspiring force once Kyo. But now I see clearly that you haven't been that since a long time ago." - Athena
"Athena, come back here! Listen to me, you can't just go away and give yourself up to these invaders for that man!" - Screams Kyo
"I don't plan to keep listening to someone who refuses to grow up and abandons his friends. Now I see that the last time you inspired someone, was when everyone thought you were dead." - Says Athena with a cold tone surprising Kyo who feels that last comment twitching of anger
"Athena! Come back here! You won't survive out there! Listen to me, you-" - Kyo stops totally angry as he sees Athena disappearing in the horizon running towards where Iori is as Terry, Nakoruru, Seirah and Kaede stare at Kyo seeing Athena decided to leave
Meanwhile
"ARGGHH!" - Iori is seem striking Mizuki with all his forces slashing Mizuki's chest with his last flaming slash
"You damn pig! I'll have your head for this!" - Mizuki attacks sending a shadow to attack Iori but this one moves back faster dodging all the slahes of Mizuki, with this one reacting at doing a very impressive jump landing next to Mizuki
"Dodge this!" - Mizuki opens her mouth using her tongue to hit Orochi Iori as strange needles come from her tongue hitting Iori in the face with the needles of her tongue full of spikes making Iori bleed as this ones impale his eyes
"ARGHHH!" - Iori screams being blinded as Mizuki strikes using her hair making it large and full of spikes hitting Yagami pushing him away
Falling to the nearby river Mizuki sees Iori getting up using his hands to remove the spikes incrusted in his body and face with the angry Orochi Iori screaming at the sky before once again preparing to run towards Mizuki
Mizuki teleports behind Yagami as both interchange hits with Yagami spitting purple flames out of his mouth to keep Mizuki at bay
"(Damn idiot! How he can keep standing after such attack? How he can be this resistant?)" - Mizuki blocks the attack with her becoming enraged enough hitting the ground with her tamagushi provoking a earthquake as multiple pillars of flames appear
Iori runs towards Mizuki again dodging the pillars of flames but he ends up being burned by them with such fiery power that he feels his skin almost burning
"ARGH!" - Iori screams as he is pushed back by the pillars of flames
"ARGGHHH!" - But refusing to fall back, Iori grabs on to the group with him counterattacking by creating a shockwave of purple flame capable of cutting through Mizuki's pillars of flames
"WHAT?!" - Mizuki sees this shockwave approaching her cutting through her flames
"No! You won't win this!" - Mizuki keeps slamming the ground making another group of pillars appear, this time more bigger than the last ones
The struggle between the two continues with both screaming as Mizuki uses all the chi that she had still to overwhelm Iori
"ARGHHH!" - Iori is hit back and sent to the river again after Mizuki wins the clash
*Panting* - Mizuki approaches the defeated looking Iori lying on the river standing before him
"I told you, you're not match for me, Iori. Not in a millon years, disgusting slave of Orochi!" - Mizuki
"I don't know how you managed to keep becoming an annoyance for me, but I better finish you off. One down out of 23! Rakikikiki!" - Mizuki is about to kill Iori
*Crack* - But arm stops her as Mizuki is surprised seeing Iori getting up managing to stop Mizuki's slash
Both stare at each other with anger and hate as Iori manages to get up grabing Mizuki's arm
"What are you-ARGH!" - Mizuki is surprised as Iori uses his other hand to hold her neck tighter, he pushes Mizuki's hand and now uses both hands to hold the infamous demon from her neck
"Stupid idiot! You really think this will stop me?" - Says Mizuki as Iori holds her from her neck
"Oh I know that being strangled wouldn't be enough. How about we add more pressure!" - Iori
*Splash* - Iori uses all his strength to slam Mizuki on the ground sinking her on the water of the river for Mizuki's shock as she is now being holded under water by Yagami who sees her face of struggle from the surface
"ARGGHH!" - Mizuki starts to become nervous deep in the waters, a horrible sensation comes to her... One she hadn't feel in ages, in her pupils the traumatic memories of her being a baby and dying drowing in the river comes to her, the same sensation that she was now experimenting
"(NOOOO! NOOOT AGAIN!)" - Screams Mizuki in her mind being dominated by a incredible terror, she starts moving her legs and arms like crazy as Iori holds her underwater
"(I must get out of here! I must get out of here! ARRGHHH! This sensation is horrible! NOOOO! NOT AGAIN!)" - Screams Mizuki starting to become desperated
Iori in that moment can't help but pay attention at the face full of terror of Mizuki as she is being strangled underwater, for Yagami this was something he never thought he would see, the face of desperation of a demon... In that moment Iori realized that even demons were capable of feeling fear and terror in their hearts, without knowing it, Iori had now cornered Mizuki fully. Putting her in a awful spot as the face of Mizuki was the one of a scared child now trying to push Iori back to get out of there
"(Curse of the mo-)" - Mizuki
"No! You won't do that again!" - For Mizuki's shock, Iori seeing a spiral starting to form in Mizuki's pupils decides to sink one of his hands in Mizuki's chest
*Plack* - Iori extracts the mirror of Yata out of the scared Mizuki and tosses it away out of the river with him now keep holding the terrified Mizuki on the water
"(NOOOO! NOOO! HOW I CAN GET OUT OF HERE! I'M DROWNING!)" - Mizuki screams in her mind moving her legs and arms like crazy
"(AMBROSIA-SAMA! PLEASEEE SAVE ME!)" - Screams Mizuki with her heart full of terror as Iori keeps strangling her there
"DIE!" - Iori
"(ARGGGGHHHH!)" - Mizuki's eye pupils start to become smaller as Iori drowns her, she is super terrified to fight anymore. Regressing to feel like a scared child again and losing her focus seeing herself as a child again
Mizuki is totally trapped on her mind feeling like a indefense scared child again drowning in a large ocean, she shivers trying to fight one last time but is useless, fear has totally taken her fully
"(THIS IS HELL! I CAN'T MOVE ANYMORE!)" - Mizuki realizes she had been beaten
"(Goodbye Chizuru.)" - Iori
Iori sees how Chizuru's eye pupils move in fear as she sees the image of Yagami strangling her, with her rising her arm so weakly and shivering
"Huh?" - Iori is surprised as he sees Kagura's hand touching his chin in a soft way, she isn't struggling anymore and she lets go of her hand dying for Iori's shock as he sees Kagura dying but something isn't right
"(What happened? I don't feel the chi of that demon anymore?)" - Iori is confused staring at the corpse of Chizuru
"Rakikikiki." - A laugh is heard as Iori becomes totally frozen feeling a bone hand grabing his shoulders
"ARGH!" - Iori is stabbed by this shadow as this one approaches him revealing to be a skeleton of black hair... Mizuki's real form
"YOU! How?" - Iori
"Oh Iori, you should had know better to not piss me off, look what you did, you killed my latest host. Poor poor Chizuru, but that's what she gets for being a weakling, isn't it? Rakikikikiki!" - Mizuki now looking like a skeleton laughs as she forces the stabbed Iori to see her
"But forget about that stupid witch, let us dance together! After all, someone will have to replace her!" - Mizuki seals her and Iori's fates by kissing the red haired fighter as a light covers both
Some moments later
A shadow running desperated makes her way to this forest, the shadow sees the river in the distance and decides to run like crazy seeing a hand coming out of the river
"NO! I arrived too late!" - The shadow now revealed to be Athena Asamiya sees the outcome of the fight being nothing more than the corpse of Chizuru Kagura lying there on the middle of the river
Quickly Athena steps in the river dragging the now dead Chizuru in her arms bringing her to the shore
"Chizuru! No! This can't be!" - Athena checks the pulse of the priestess but she realizes there's nothing, Kagura had been left there dead for one and a half hour
Athena starts performing CPR on Chizuru trying to save her, she pushes with all her hopes and faith
"Come on! Come on! Don't leave me!" - Athena with desperation keeps pushing using her psycho powers as she heals Kagura but isn't enough
"Grrr! No, I can't give up!" - Athena makes aside her sadness to focus on trying to revive Chizuru there
"(You're not dead, Chizuru! Please! React!)" - Athena keeps pushing as a small tear falls on the chest of the Yata but is useless
"(Don't die! Don't die!)" - Athena keeps performing CPR using her psycho power trying to bring Chizuru back
"Arghhh!" - Athena screams in desperation
"Athena..." - Suddenly Athena hears a strange voice full of echo as she feels a hand touching her on her shoulder
"..." - Athena turns at her right to see the ghostly figure of Chizuru
"Is alright, if it has to be like this, I'm fine with it. Please don't waste your energies, my fate was sealed the moment Mizuki took over my body. Just do me a favour, take the mirror of Yata with you and reunite with the rest. There's nothing you can do for me now." - Chizuru
"My last will is for you to save the legacy of my clan, that's all." - Says Chizuru looking down
"..." - Athena stares at the ghostly image wondering if this is real or an hallucination of her desperation
"Iori was right..." - Says Athena surprising Chizuru
"You really have become a shadow of your former self, you're pathetic!" - Says Athena with a serious tone shocking Chizuru
"You think you're the only one who suffers here? I had to see three of our friends die before arriving here. You have no idea how I much I wish I could had saved Jeanne, Galford or Rosa. They died quick and without even having a chance and you tell me to give up?" - Athena becomes annoyed
"You're accepting this? You the guardian of the mirror, the heiress of the Yata clan are accepting this as if nothing? Your ancestors and sister would be twitching in their graves if they could see how pathetic you have become, Chizuru!" - Says Athena putting her two palms together
"What are you saying, Athena? Don't dare to bring my sister into this!" - Chizuru reacts
"Then don't tell me to give up, because I'm not gonna do it. I'm tired of seeing those who I care about dying! I'm not gonna let you go like this, I could never forgive myself if I let you die like this!" - Says Athena as now with her palms overcharged of psycho power Athena pushes athem against Chizuru's chest with her restarting the CPR
"If you think your life needs to end here, that's you. But I personally think you're still have alot to life for and I won't let you go!" - Athena's charge of energy makes Kagura's body react as Chizuru's spirit disappears when she turns back to look at her for a moment
"You're coming with me! You're not going to die here! Chizuru Kagura!" - Athena charges her hands again using this charge to affect Chizuru's body making her hands start to move reacting
"ARGH!" - Athena uses three more charges on Chizuru making the priestess of the Yata's body start to move again slowly but miraculously suddenly Athena sees Chizuru's mouth reacting and a small beat is heard
With another two charges, suddenly and for Athena's own shock, Chizuru starts moving her eyes again
"(What is happening?)" - Chizuru reacts finally opening her eyes and sitting
*Cough* - Chizuru coughs expulsing the water that was on her lungs breathing reacting seeing herself on the arms of Athena
"A-Athena... You did it. You saved me." - Chizuru is totally shocked as she moves her hand realizing this isn't dream or the afterlife, Asamiya Athena had done the impossible bringing her back from the verge of death
"Chizuru! I-I couldn't let you die after what that cruel demon did to you!" - Athena hugs the priestess of the Yata as both women shed some tears with Chizuru turning to where the mirror was toss by Yagami
"(Iori... Forgive me.)" - Chizuru thinks looking at the shining mirror of Yata in the distance as she hugs Athena
To Be Continued...
