Fan Fiction ❯ Fate's Storm ❯ Leaving The World I know Behind ( Chapter 8 )

I sobbed into my pillow, remembering all the pain I have caused for people. Kya was dead because of whom I was, she gave up her life for me, why did she do that? No…it hurts so much.

 

“Liana?” I heard at the door, I wiped the tears off my face with my sleeve and looked carefully at the face in front of me. Marissa sat down in front brushing the strands of hair out my face that were dried and stuck to my skin from my tears. She tried to have me look up at her but all I felt was the pain and regret of being who I was.

 

“Caid, he um…wants to return to Japan, for a meeting with the rebelling groups against the war. He wants you to meet them and join them since you have killed some very important angels.” I tried to look up then, but as I stared into her face I saw the inner heart and the face of death drifting in front of her own, at any moment ready to take my friend from me. I pulled myself up, slowly not in pain but to make the moment wait, the moment where he would tell me we had to return to the place where all this started. I walked out the door, the one that had kept me in my safety zone for days and gazed into the eyes of eager faces sitting at the dining room table.

 

“I'll go Caid.” And turned to begin packing my clothes, again it would be just Caid and me on a mission again. It would be too dangerous at this meeting for the children and my friends to come. I threw clothes in careless, just wondering what it would feel like to be back there, the same place. Would Shiyou come after us again? Would these people help us? So many questions, they raged about as we hugged everyone and set off in the car to the airport. I leaned over to the window on my right and looked into the mirror to see the waving hands of four important people in my life, and I prayed for their safety.

The car ride didn't last long and the flight over was just as short, so when it landed and I felt the memories of this place sink in I gathered everything up and stepped into the terminal with a feeling of taking a deep breath. Caid held my arm and looked down knowing I was worried and deeply emotional about this place. The smells of Japan were overwhelming but we had a place where we were suppose to meet them to stay. Pushing down the busy side walks, I watched the Japanese going about life without any thought of what could be going on at this point in time. Caid tugged on my sleeve and I turned to look at the sign hanging above the door, a hostile. Similar to the one where I had first stayed, yes such a time it was, where I found Caid and found out about my abilities.

 

Once we were inside we set everything in the room and relaxed for a moment, until he suggested we go out and see the city. At first I was quite hesitant about seeing this place, but I thought for once there was something he really wanted to do so we left. I had forgotten how beautiful at night Japan had been, all the neon signs glowing like fireflies and the people walking down the streets. I snuggled against Caid and watched the people pass, wanting the moment to never end. He had us wandering all over the place and I really didn't care where we were going, and I watched as the roads and buildings became so familiar. One alley I saw the same houses, buildings and position of the moon shining down and remembered the time I saw us there holding each other as the light I felt in my heart formed. Pulling him there, he smiled as we stood in front of each other and let the moon shower us with her light.

“Remember, this is where I first met you…” I said looking into his face, he smiled and held my hand to his face.

 

“How could I forget? You were so lonely there in the moonlight and it somehow made you beautiful. Now as I stand here with you there isn't anymore loneliness in those beautiful eyes of yours.” He leaned closer to my face, our noses touching and his lips brushed against mine and we kissed softly, but soon it became more passionate and I let a few tears slip down my face as I felt his arms wrap around me and the kiss deepen.

Once back at the hostile, we kissed again, he held me at a distance and opened his hand to show me a beautiful ring with a small light blue stone, he slid it on my hand and I leaped into his arms, I kissed him forcefully and held tight around his neck. He kissed down my neck and over my collarbone, down the shirt as he pulled the cloth off and exposed my skin and let his mouth breath deeply on it. I felt a hand on my side slid up and the skirt wrapped around my legs was unzipped and pulled off. I lifted his shirt from his body and traced the body with my lips as his hand slid under my bra strap and pulled at the clasp and it slid down and was flung off. Kissing my lips his hand slid up my side sending chills through me but as I went for the rest of his clothes he pulled away from me, turning to look at the floor his hand still against my face.

 

“I can't do this…” he spoke pulling his hand away and getting up to take a shower. Stunned I sat on the floor staring at the door that was closing in front of me and tried not to cry or feel anything, but a question. Why did he stop? I scooped up my clothes and slowly slipped them over my head and watched for him to come out, but when he didn't I pulled out the blue velvet dress for this masquerade we had to go to and got dressed. While I tried to tie one of the long cords, he slipped out and grabbed the cords but I pulled away and finished it myself. We walked out to the limo the group had sent us to take us to the meeting place, the entire time we sat apart, quiet. He didn't make any move at all to anything that may have caused our problem in the hostile.

The car stopped in front of a large old building and leading me by the hand we walked into the room, where there were a lot of people dressed up. Caid was very pushy about going towards a person wearing a red and black gown. I stood in front of her and watched her eyes scan over me as if I wasn't worthy of Caid or the position I was in. I pulled my mask off and she did the same, I was met with gold colored eyes and her black hair encircled her face.

 

“So you are the Creation of our two nations, you who were suppose to end the world and just started it again.” She growled pointing a finger in my face.

 

“I never did anything like that! I saved people from the angels that ran amuck in New York City. So, demon, calling me the problem may not be the best choice!” Someone pulled me by the arm and I spun into someone's open arms and began dancing. I glared up at the interrupter and saw it was Caid, he was smiling while I was frowning at the floor.

 

“I see you have met the leader of the rebels, Bara. You need to get on her good side, she will be helpful if we want to survive.” He tried to make me look up and smile and of course I couldn't resist him. We flowed across the dance floor, my velvety blue dress flowing and my red hair streaming behind, that everyone stopped and let us have the dance floor to ourselves. The moment made me forget the time in the hostile, and it made me happy for that moment in time, but I knew something would come to destroy it.

 

“I see Caid can't let go of the past!” Bara yelled out as she stormed onto the dance floor and stared me down, but Caid had a concrete look on his face.

 

“I see Bara still holds a grudge, one that isn't helping anyone.” Caid said smirking and hold my gloved hand in his tightly. I smirked at her, but she stayed calm and walked up to me.

 

“I challenge you, “Messiah” to a fight!” She says pointing and turning away expecting me to back down, Caid thought I would back down too but I turned her direction and shouted back, “Bring it on demon!” She smirked and pulled her gloves off. She laid a hand on her chest and called out a few words I didn't know and went from a dress to a samurai fighting outfit. Her katana was strapped to her waist and she had a firm grip waiting for me to advance. Staring her down, I pushed my wings out and formed the sais into my hands. Taking a stance she snickered and came at me with amazing speed, but she didn't catch me off guard. I leapt into the air and soared down spinning in a circle with the sais pointed forward and struck her sword, swinging at me she grazed my face and than I went again and sliced her arm. I smirked and flew up again, thinking she wouldn't be able to follow, but a pair of black scaly wings sprouted out and she came up and we fought in the air. In my mind though I kept thinking how much I wanted to transform.

 

“Poor little “messiah” can't even transform!” She egged on and I was really getting furious with this demon, whether or not she would be of any help. I glared at her and felt the feelings she had towards me and I flew at top speed and felt the power envelope me and the dress faded away and the white linen cloth, gold headdress, gloves and foot pieces were covering my body now. I watched in amazement as the look came over her, I knew now she would believe me about who I was, but I still felt hatred, from the truth. She flew again at me but I dodged with ease and smirked as she tried over and over to hit me, finally pulling away she stared at me with an evil look.

 

“I bet Caid hasn't told you his history, especially why he even took an interest in a human.” This caught my attention and I listened as I dodged some more advances.

 

“You know you are the angel created from demon and angel, well your boy Caid was in love with her, and she loved him back, meaning you caused it all! He is in love with who you are reincarnated as!” That struck a nerve, and stunned for that moment I forgot to dodge her easy movements and just floated there letting what I had just been told to sink in. Her weapon came in contact with my arm and I felt the blood flow down, but I couldn't think of anything other than what I had just heard, my heart hurt, he had just betrayed my trust. My love, if I had any now left me as I flew at the woman in an enraged fury, the cloth going black, my eyes becoming red as blood and my hair was black. The anger, the evil flowed in my veins, storming and cursing my memories of hatred and I fought her, stabbing her continuously, her blood covered the red dress that had appeared from her power loss. I stepped down and stood next to her wounded body, the long pitch black cloth flowing like fire around me, my eyes burning still as I stepped over her and stood in front of Caid. My voice changed into that of an enraged spirit spoke, in a pitch that would have scared a mortal spoke out against him.

 

“Is it true!? Do you love me only because I am the creation! Your old lover! Answer me worthless demon!” I spat at him, my words dripping with venom and hatred. He stared back coldly, but his look softened as he began to speak.

 

“Yes you are the reincarnation of my old lover. At first yes I cared because you were her but-” Slapping him hard, I glared venom and knives at him as I turned to leave, my body going back to it's normal state, and as I left the building behind me I heard no out cry for me to stay except in my heart as my real cry came, and I left the world I was a part of behind.

 

My feet led me to only one place, a place I had left in the beginning but it would be the only way to get back at the people who hurt me, those that couldn't believe when I said I was who everyone wanted me not to be. The same door, the same manor that felt of death and destruction but to me now it was comfort from where I had just been. My arm was still bleeding and I was cold in the blue velvet dress I had on, torn from the fight. I knocked hard and waited for someone to answer, and the one who answered was the one I wanted to speak with.

 

“Liana, you have come back to me…” He smirked probably thinking thoughts that could get him killed.

 

“Shiyou, I came for revenge, on those that have hurt me, so don't think I am your weapon. I want a place to stay, and my own choice when to come and go.” He nodded still smirking, so I walked in and watch him carefully for any unexpected movements. I was showed up to the same room where I had stayed two years ago, but I wondered the mansion to find if there were any others here I could talk to.
