Chapter 7: Into darkness

Disclaimer: see first chapter

A/N: Okay finally I am able to see to this story. The story had been
quite depressing lately. I needed to see EVA in order to get myself to
that depressed level! The characters here are abit off character. So
expect a laughing or talking Trowa and Heero! Comments PLEASE!!!!!


The Koorime floating Isle. A place where thousands of koorimes have
lived, given birth and died. A place where only women stay. Most of
them are homosexuals with their hatred for the male side. The
exceptions love men and died because of their love. Their children a
lways twins, the male thrown off the isle into the dark Makai forest.
The forbidden children, they're called. The koorimes have power over
ice which they use kill with a single well-aimed stroke. This proud and
powerful race is now no more than a mere splash of blood on the cold,
frozen floor.

~*~*~*~*~

Wufei flapped his wings gently, making a cloud of snow fly. He landed
softly, careful not to let any koorime see him. He knew the dangers of
them being there. Though he thinks that women are weak, these Koorimes
are anything BUT weak. His passengers, Trowa and Quatre, slid off his
back. He changed back to the shape that his friends were familiar with.
The cold wind blew, bringing with it the faint smell of blood into the
sensitive noses of the three pilots. Alarmed by the sharp, subtle scent,
the headed quickly toward its origins.

As they turned the corner, the smell grew stronger. What greeted their
sights made them more than cringe with disgust. The whole snow white
field of ice was covered by the mutilated bodies of what used to be
women. Some of them were hardly recognisable. Bloody appendages that
looked like they've been torn from the body laid scattered everywhere.
The faces of the dead showed terror and anguish. Most of the women had
not died easily. This was all that was left of the race of women called
Koorime.

The three of them seperated to find any survivors. Quatre looked down
towards the nearest body. He could see that the woman had died in a
lot of pain. Her right arm was missing, her left leg from the knee
below was disintergrated off, burnt. Her face, had it not been twisted
with pain, would be beautiful. Another breath of cold wind blew. It
then became clear. The soft sounds of heavy panting. Each breath taken
in with much pain. Each breath getting shallower every time. As if
somebody was struggling to stay alive. A short moment later, the
breathing stopped all together. A sharp pain shot throughout Quatre's
body. He collapsed to his knees.

~*~*~*~*~

Wufei walked through the bodies of the deceased. Disgusted at the
dismenbered bodies that laid around. He had been shocked that this
race of women had been wiped out. All had died. Nobody lived. He
wondered who had the gall to do such a horrible thing?

Trowa looked around desperately. Investigating the corpses with a
careful eye. Hoping that none was his dear wife. The cold atmosphere
had preserved the women's faces perfectly. Though none he could see
was his wife.

Then he heard the shallow sobs. As if somebody was crying. Hoping that
it was a survivor, even better his wife, he headed towards the source.
Weaving through the field of bodies, towards the ominous sobs. Arriving
at the writhing body, he found a little girl underneath the koorime,
assuming that she was her mother. The koorime had a spear peircing her
back narrowly missing the girl.

The little girl looked up towards him, uncertainity on her face. His
paternal feelings took over him and he wrapped her in his arms holding
her tight. The girl was shocked at first but soon began to cry on his
shirt. Her sobbing soon ceased. His shirt was damp and he was freezing,
but he didn't complain.

He finally was able to see her face. She looked about twelve. She was
very pretty, with carrot-coloured hair that reached to her waist. Her
eyes were red in colour. She looked familiar to him.

<i>Kazuma-san!</i>

"That was it! The girl looked like Yukina! That must mean..." Trowa
thought fearfully. Gingerly, he overturned the woman's body afraid that
his thoughts may come true. Turning over the woman, he caught a glimpse
of her face. The face that had been plaguing his mind. The face of the
woman whom he called Yukina. The woman that he held in his arms was his
wife. Not that he thought he would ever do it, Trowa cried readily.

~*~*~*~*~

As Heero and Duo arrived on the isle, they knew something was wrong.
The place was quiet, too quiet. There was not a soul roaming the area
that they arrived at. They too smelled the blood that had been spilt.
Alarmed, they ran towards its source.

They found the remenants of the massacre. The bodies that laid strewn
around shocked even Duo. None of the bodies looked like they are going
to move soon. They felt, though, the different kis that was roaming the
place. The number was small and they seemed to be moving slowly, as if
they were doing a recon of the place. Taking notice the nature of the
ki, they knew that there was the youki of a shapeshifter, there was
also two koorime/fire demon/human hybrid. It was funny though, these
koorime hybrids were of opposite sexes. Then, there was a reiki. Strong
for a human. Who were these MEN?

The hanging mist of the isle lifted. They could see the vast extent of
the damage. Everywhere they looked, they saw bodies of the koorime. In
the distance, they could see someone standing. There was the human
kneeling on the ground with a girl in his arms. All the silhouettes
looked familiar.

They went to the human first. They suddenly recognised the ki. Trowa!
What was he doing here? Who was the little girl?

"Trowa..." Duo first began as they reached the crying teen. Trowa and
the girl looked up. "I didn't expect to see you here. Do you even know
where you are anyway?"

"I'm not that ignorant of my whereabouts..." Trowa began before he felt
the ki of Duo's becoming familiar. "...Chibi. I've come here to look
for my wife together with Quatre and Wufei."

"Chibi..." Duo became enraged. Nobody caled him "Chibi" and got away
with it. Trowa's ki clicked in his mind. "Kuwabara... Temee! Don't call
me that!" He took out his sword, ready to kill that baka ningen.

Something unexpected happened that stopped the unnecessary brawling.
Heero laughed! His face cracked up with a smile, a happy smile not the
smirk. The laughter was that of a happy one. "Hey Kuwabara! Never
thought I'd see you here. We came to help Yukina but it seemed that we
were too late. Have you found her, Trowa?" Heero said.

At the mention of Yukina's name, Trowa's face showed such sadness that
even Duo stopped pestering him. Duo looked closer at the body that
Trowa had been standing near. He gave out a gasp. "Yukina...No..."

Duo felt tears brimming his eyes. Trowa or Kuwabara, did not understand
why Duo was almost crying. Suddenly, it clicked in his mind. Hiei was
Yukina's long lost brother, also his...<i>Brother-in-law</i> the voice
squeaked in his mind.

"Duo, I wondered when you'd reach here." Wufei's voice came from behind
them. "I see you've found her. I'm sorry that she's dead. We have to
bury her." Suddenly, he saw the girl that was hiding behind Trowa.
"Who's she?"

"I don't know who she is. I just found her under Yukina just now,"
Trowa said trying to ignore the twist of pain he felt.


"Rei... My name is Rei Kuwabara," the girl spoke. She smiled but her
eyes showed her sorrow.

"Kuwabara, huh? Seems that you have another child, Trowa," Wufei said.

"Another child?" both Heero and Duo said at the same time.

~*~*~*~*~

'This pain... This sorrow...Hurts me so much...What's happening to me?
Kaasan help me...

'This dream again. Now it seemed that every thing's clearer now. Who's
that in the air? No! I don't want to feel the pain again...'

Quatre, on his knees, clenched his eyes shut. Refusing to open his eyes
to face the truth of his dreams. Then he felt somebody embracing his
shivering body. Looking out, he saw his mother in front of him.

"Its okay, Kaoru-chan. Let's go from here" trowa said, smiling. He
followed Trowa hoping to get off this piece of ice that held so many
bad memories for him. "Come on, they might come back. Come on,
Kaoru-chan."

Quatre's sights blurred as the dry wind blew. His confused mind told
him to follow the voice.[left foot...right foot...] The surroundings
became brighter, blocking every other thing, focusing on his mother.
[left foot...right foot] Yukina turned, beckoning him to hurry. All
coherent thoughts disappeared from his mind. [left foot...right foot]
He felt himself stepping into thin air. The brightness enveloped him...
