Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Stormy Skies ❯ Stormy Skies 3 ( Chapter 4 )

Last night I watched that goddamn movie for the 10th time and I cried only when Shigure died at the end.I'm quite proud with myself. When I saw it for the first time I bawled my eyes out and continued to bawl everytime I watched. I don't know whose fate is sadder - Shigure's, Gentatsu's, Toki's or Kenshin's.

I know that I'm paying too much attention to Iante, but please bear with me.She's essential to the story.

Erm, I'm cutting the crap and I'm getting down to business.

This is the next part.

Part 3

The little guy whose name turned out to be Himura Kenshin brought her to a place called Kamya Dojo.Indeed, it was quite large - big house and a big yard, both well cleaned and tidy-looking.It would probably have been a very serene place if it wasn't the sudden woman's yell:

"OI, KENSHIN!!! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!"

"Oro..."

A small yellow-dressed tigress, no woman, sprang from the house holding a threatening looking broom.

'Hn, here's one PMSing girl.' Iante thought.

But, seeing the stranger with her rurouni, Kamiya Kaoru stopped stopped in her tracks and turned questioning eyes to Kenshin, who smiled placatingly and said:

"Hello, Kaoru-dono." then he pointed Iante " This is Miss Iante Damodred, I met her in town and as she was looking for a place to stay so I invited her to stay with us for a few days."

Iante hurried to add:

"I'll pay, of course.I do not wish to impose."

Kaoru looked the strange woman - at least a head taller than Kenshin, pale-skinned, quite pretty, with black hair tinted red in the sun and steel-grey eyes.She was dressed in almost indecently tight pants, white shirt and dark blue vest. In her hands she was carrying a single bag.

" Oh, no, Miss, you're guest here, you shouldn't think about paying."

Iante squared her shoulders.

" I insist.I will not feel comfortable if I know that I am a free-loader.Please."

Kaoru had nothing to say to that so just sighed and smiled:

"Well, if you insist, then by all means, please come inside...Can you cook?"

As Iante later found out, the little 'family' that lived in the Dojo consisted of the owner - Kamiya Kaoru, Kenshin, who had been a rurouni but now lived with Kaoru (at that point Iante wondered exactly what the relationship between these two was) and a boy called Miyojin Yahiko.

The dinner turned out to be quite fun, with Kaoru and Yahiko arguing constantly and Kenshin trying to placate them only have his head bitten off by Kaoru. The girl really was a little racoon.

Iante had cooked the dinner meal, for as it turned out, Kaoru couldn't cook to save her life and Iante definitely did not want to be poisoned on her first night in Japan. They had been a bit puzzled over the foreign meal, but, after all, Iante was a good cook and so there weren't many complains.

By looking that slightly dysfunctional family Iante felt a pang in her heart.This had been taken away from her by the very man she pursued now.

Tomorrow she had to start looking for clues.

Holding the book of Necromicon in his hands the man was standning at the bottom of the bed on which lay Gentatsu's body.

Once again he looked over to the corpse.Finally.After so many efforts, so many difficulties and problems he was near achieving his goal.After he brought back the soul of this man from the world of the dead all he was going to need was a worrior girl with magical abilities.

He opened the book and looked inside, his eyes raking over the ancient inscriptions which were said to be written in human blood.The graceful fingers lovingly traced the text and he finally started chanting:

"Kryv pri kryvta, pepel pri pepelta, prah pri prahta.Vyrni se pri men, Takastuki Gentatsu.Napusni sveta na senkite i se vyrni tzarstvoto na jivite.Prizovavam te!Prizovavam te!Prizivavam te!PRIZOVAVAM TE!!!!!!!!"

Blinding, liquid green light filled the room.The screams of thousands tortured souls echoed in the small space, resonating in the stone walls.A black core of darkness appeared in the light and slowly began to take the shape of a human male.

Watching that horrific scene the man laughed, he was practically screeching with laughter.He had made it.He had finally made it.

The black shadow slowly descended over the body of Takatsuki Gentatsu, breathing life in the dead limbs.

As suddenly as the voices and the light appeared they vanished.All that was left was a bed and two men, both of them alive.

The man who was Takatsuki Gentatsu slowly raised from the bed and looked with glowing blue eyes the one who had resurrected him .The sensuous lips opened in a sly smile to uncover long and sharp fangs.

" I'm thirsty " he said in melodic and velvet voice.

" I know " answered the man.
