The next part will be on Miko Nakamura/Mikoto. I'll have a lemon version soon, but it won't be this one. Once again, this is a disclaimer. Characters from X belong to Clamp. The created characters belong to me. Oh and by the way, basically there a few clues here about names. Beyond Eternity By Ayanosuke Part 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Mysterious Memories July 12, 1590 At a village in Edo, a 17-year-old girl was running across a bridge and made her way into Ueno Park. She was wearing a blue Ninja outfit with her black raven-colored hair tied up. She made her way over to the huge Sakura Tree. From there she could see another girl raising up her sword which was facing a little boy with black hair wearing ceremonial clothes lying on the ground. He was unconscious. "Wait! Kameko, wait!" The young girl shouted just before Kameko brought down her sword on the boy. But it hit the hard ground instead. She turned to see the other girl stop and go into her fighting stance. "Don't worry yourself too much, Yoko. I didn't kill the boy. Not yet...." A smirk came across her face. Her brown eyes filled with the need to kill. "Please, Kameko, don't hurt Kurama. He's the member of the Sumeragi Clan!" There was a look of panic and worry in Yoko's eyes. Kameko could see that. "As a member of the Iwasaki Clan, I had promised to protect that boy. Please give him back to me!" The Sakurakumori kept her eyes on Yoko. They both stared at each other until Kameko broke the silence with a loud cackle. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't do that. After all, I am a member of the Sakurazuka Clan. And my job is to kill those who had witnessed me murdering my victim." "Since when did becoming a Sakurazukmori had anything to do with killing an innocent child?!" Yoko was shouting from the top of her lungs. "You were innocent once.....now you're a killing machine!" "I was trained to avoid all emotions to become an assassin. I must not disobey my oath...." Once again, Kameko raised the sword. But she wasn't fast enough as soon as Yoko came running towards her and grabbed her arm. "I won't let you kill Kurama! Even if I have to sacrifice my own life!" Both twins soon began struggling with the sword. Kameko was strong, but Yoko was much faster than her. The ninja used her other hand to grabbed the assassin's throat. She nearly choked her while her other hand was struggling with the blade. "You'll never kill me....." Kameko's voice was low as if a demon took over her entire mind and soul. "I am Sakurazukamori!" There was an evil cackle following behind her announcement. A very twisted emotion came over Yoko. Her anger went over the edge and she squeezed her enemy's throat, trying to cut off the laughing which annoyed her very much. But Kameko kept laughing and laughing as if her isanity had taken over completely. The ninja suddenly let go of her neck and backed away from her slowly. Just what the hell was wrong with this girl?! "Stop it, Kameko! Quit laughing!" Yoko was shouting at her while looking at Kurama, who was still lying unconscious in the background. He wasn't hurt so far. Her eyes shifted back to the laughing Kameko. "I said, quit laughing!" But Kameko would not stop her insane laughing. She even let the blade slip from her hand and fall on the ground. Soon, dark clouds began to appear in the sky. They were covering the sky very slowly. Yoko kept her eyes on Kameko then shifted them to the katana. Without hesitation, she ran over to it, picked it, up and pointed the blade straight at the Sakurakumori's heart. "Kameko-san.... Look at me...." Kameko stopped laughing and stared straight at Yoko. Their eyes locked almost in a strange way. "Well, Yoko, it seems that fate has brought us together....again....." "I know. I understood that part when I found out something." Soon Yoko's eyes started to soften. "That....you were born as my twin sister...." "Yes. But we were also born to become enemies..." "That's not true, Kameko!" Tears wear streaming down face. "Why do you cry for me, young ninja?" "Why shouldn't I? It's part of my way of begging for forgiveness after killing my victims. Yet I already know your clan does not weep nor show any expressions at all." "As long as you're a Sakurazukamori, you cannot cry for your victims ...." A malicious grin appeared on her face. "Did you not understand that also?" "Hai. That I did understand that part...." Yoko closed her eyes and raised the blade above her head. Suddenly, she felt severe pain and blood run out of her mouth. Her eyes widen in shock as she looked down and saw that a hand had went through her chest. "No...." Kameko chuckled. "I win this bout, oniichan--" Her voice was cut off after Yoko plunged the blade into her chest. The Sakurazukamori's eyes widen in horror as she gasped. "But.... that's impossible!" Both twin sisters faced each other. Blood was flowing out of their mouths. A smirk on Yoko's face as she glared into her sister's eyes. "Consider this a tie instead, oniichan...." In a few seconds, both girls collapsed on the ground by each other. And silence was the only thing that had followed so far. Sakura petals floated by as a loud howl filled the air. Soon angel feathers began falling from the sky. A woman with purple hair and purple eyes appeared from the sky. She wore a purple and silver dress with angel wings. Kneeling down, she picked up Yoko's body and held her in her arms. When she opened her mouth, a beautiful song was heard throughout the sky. A light appeared around here and then brighten the entire place. One hour later, Kurama had woken up and looked around the forest. "W-where am I?" Still looking around, the young boy say a girl lying in the ground. The hair and face was familiar with. "Yoko-sama?" Soon his eyes widen when he realized that there was dried blood around her entire body. He ran over to her. "Yoko-sama! Yoko-sama!" Tears were running down his cheeks as he kneeled down towards her and tried to wake her up by shaking her furiously. "Yoko-sama.... You can't be dead...." Suddenly, Yoko's eyes opened. The vision from her view was quite blurry for a few minutes. Her head felt dizzy. She could of sworn she died after being killed by her twin sister. A few minutes later, her vision cleared and she was able to see Kurama. "Kurama?" "Yoko-sama...." "What happened? Where's...." Yoko's sentence was cut off when she realized that Kameko's body was gone. Her eyes widen almost in horror, wondering if the Sakurazukamori was still alive.... "Kurama, what happened here before I woke up?" "I don't know. After I woke up, I only saw you." Yoko's eyes lowered as she began to think about the incident that happened between her and her twin sister. She remembered the day her mother told her the truth after 17 years of not knowing her true past. "I see...." Soon she got up from her previous spot, not caring if about the blood on her clothes. "Let's go back. Lady Sumeragi is probably worried about you." Taking Kurama's hand, the ninja glanced at the Sakura Tree once more and sighed in resignation. Both her and the future 2nd Head of the Sumeragi Clan went back to the Sumeragi Mansion. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure was watching them leave while in the tree. An evil smile came upon her face. "Soon, my dear sister..... We will settle this once in for all...." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Done!
