Me, my Soul, and my Heart (a Hiei story) Chapter 17

Siji~ No way…It was you?1

Tai~ Hey Lil’ Siji! How’s you doing?2

Siji~ Don’t you be changing the subject, jerk! 3

Tai~ Aww, don’t be like that. I’m just trying to be nice…4

Siji~ Cut it out with the bullshit, Tai! Now…tell me the truth. And I mean everything.5

Tai~ *sighs* oh well…the honest truth. Hmm. Well, im actually 26 not 16.6

Siji~ So the sword made you only 10 years younger?7

Tai~ Well…I asked the sword to be 10 years younger so I was able to get in the school.8

Siji~ Why in that school? Why in Gecko High?9

Tai~ *answers nervously* ‘Cause I was assigned on a mission to miss-lead you and have you killed. 10

Yusuke~ So Koenma was right…there were demons after her, even in the school!11

Hiei~ But anyone that is assigned to kill someone wouldn’t be close to them like he does.12

Siji~ If you were to kill me…why didn’t you? Why be too nice to me?13

Tai~ Well, you see-14

Siji~ Was it part of the plan?15

Tai~ No! No, its like that at all. I wasn’t suppose to be social but when I saw you, I didn’t go by the rules. And so…after seeing everyone’s face, I looked inside the envelope that was given to me that day and saw your face again. I was surprised and shocked that I had to kill someone as beautiful and youthful that I have ever seen in my life. I treasured that very picture of you and instead of luring you into a trap…I did my best to protect you.16

Siji~ So…this behavior of yours of obsession of me was actually protection?17

Tai~ Not entirely, I do have a small obsession of you. And my way of protecting you is more of a reflex.18

Siji~ A reflex?19

Hiei~ Don’t tell me this low-life is…in love with Siji?!20

Tai~ Anyway…please Siji, hear me out!21

Siji~ Enough talk. This is a tournament to fight in, not a RPG on a computer!22

Tai~ *sighs* Whatever you want, Siji.23

Tai drew out his weapon, a whip with a large spike ball at the end of it. You raised a brow on his choice of weapon but went on with it and drew out your sword. You signal Tai to make his first move and so he did. He took a step back as he wound up and lashed at you with the whip. You blocked it with the blade of your sword and Tai continued on lashing at you like a wrecking ball. You blocked and dodge his attacks then charged at him with your sword at hand. Just as you were about to slash down at Tai, he used the Sword of Enternal Youth as a shield from your attack then used the whip to knock you down flat on your back. You glanced at him and saw he was about to attack you with the whip again and so rolled back to dodge the spike ball then cartwheel around him when he used his sword. You moved up behind Tai and slash at him diagonally but he countered it with his sword then using the whip to take your sword and tossed it to the other side of the ring. This surprised you that he was able to remove your weapon out of your possession. You jumped back and got in your boxing stance. Tai charged at you with his whip and you put up your left arm in defense, having the whip wrapped around your arm. You winced at the sudden pain when the spike ball punchier your skin; now stuck on your arm. You bit your bottom to fight off the pain as Tai tightens the whip’s grip on your arm, making the spike ball slowly sink in deeper and pulling off your skin. You stood there for a while, battling out the pain and an easy way out of Tai’s grip. Blood now drips down your arm as it begins to tremble over the pressure. Your family watches you, worrying that you are going to lose your arm; even your father sits there nervously, for he knows he cant do anything to help you. While you and Tai continue on with the stand off, the crowd begin to chant and demand for blood and broken limbs. Your arm is now throbbing for ever second you waste for not doing anything about it. Tai starts to tug on his, making the pain worst and so in desperate need of release, you dashed at Tai. This surprised him seeing such a stunt being pulled off before. You run pass Tai and reached out for your sword. Just as you were to grab hold of your weapon, you were pulled away. You look up to see Tai holding the whip higher and slowly pulling you closer to him. You do all you can to gain back possession of your sword but the reach becomes impossible and so you have no choice but pull away from the grip yourself. As you tug and pull your arm from Tai’s deadly grasp, the spike claws down your arm. The pain alone was so overwhelming that you yelp in pain as more blood begins to drip down your arm. Your family, your friends, even Tai were shocked to see you go such endurance just to get your sword back. You stretch your arm as far as you can, just touching the blade of the sword and finally grab hold of your weapon and cut off the whip. The grip became loose but your arm continue to throb and so you removed the spike ball from your arm; the throbbing decreased. You got up slowly, leaving your wounded arm by your side. Tai looks at your arm then at you. He tosses his broken whip to the side and started to apologize. This surprised a lot of people but amused most of them but it didn’t amuse the last cloaked member in Tai’s team. Hiei took notice of the last member in Tai’s team and tries to concentrate on this demon’s spirit energy; Hiei soon found out who the last member is and he isnt happy about it at all.24

Tai~ I’m so sorry Siji! You told me to fight you and so I did! I didn’t expect to injure you this badly, can you forgive me?25

Siji~ Tai…?26

Cloaked Member~ Tai! What the hell are you waiting for? Finish her!27

Siji~ Th-That voice…it cant be.28

Tai~ I…ah I-I cant. I cant do it!29

Cloaked Member~ Don’t you give me that crap! Finish her, now!30

Tai~ I told you already, I cant! I love her! I wont hurt her any more.31

Siji~ Tai…loves me? That explains his happy, childish, and protective behavior whenever he’s around me. And this last member in Tai’s team, just gives me the chills…the very same feeling when Scar’s around. *gasp* Scar!32

A chuckle was then sounded from the cloaked man and he removes the whole dark outfit. Silence filled the arena as Scar slowly makes his way around to your side of the ring. And your father doesn’t look to happy about seeing him at all. 33

Scar~ My dear sweet Siji, its nice to see you again.34

Siji~ Well, I’m not to happy seeing you Scar.35

Scar~ *chuckles* Your funny. I like that.36

Siji~ Well, I don’t like you very much and you have already cause so much damage to me in my life. 37

Scar~ Heh. They are just memories sweet thing. And you, Tai, why did you go on and disobey me? You know damn well what your job is and you haven’t behave like this before.38

Tai~ Because I love Siji! I cant hurt her and I wont!39

Scar~ *sighs* What a pity. It’s a shame that I have to lose such a loyal and useful weapon.40

Tai~ W-Weapon?41

Siji~ You were using Tai all this time!?42

Scar~ The world uses people. Why not help out? *chuckles*43

Scar summoned his other weapon, Merciless, a giant sword that is meant for a giant to wield. Scar striked the ground and the sword became stuck and leaned against it. He started to chuckle and this just got you more angry.44

Tai~ I know I have been in good service, Scar but I want to end this business relationship and live out a better life.45

Scar~ A better life, huh?46

Tai~ *gulps* Y-yeah!47

Scar~ I give you strength. I give you the sword. I even protected you from those that would do harm to you. And this is the respect you give to me?48

Tai~ I thank you for such gifts but I think its time for me to move on.49

Scar~ *scratches nose* Hmph. I see. Well, I wish you good luck on your journey…50

Tai~ Huh? 51

Scar~ Its so sad that I have to take out the trash today, I was really hoping you would do it. *sighs* oh well…52

Tai~ What are you talking about?53

That very moment, Tai became stunned and held on to something on his neck. You looked around and saw Scar disappear! You turn your sights back at Tai and there Scar appeared behind him, tightening something around Tai’s throat. Tai let out a painful gasp and there you saw what is choking Tai, it was a wire. You used the sunlight your guideline and saw the main source of the wire. It was from Scar’s sword! The very handle sang such an evil song as you saw blood begin to roll down the wire. You glanced back at Tai and saw him choking his very last breathe as Scar slowly lifted him off the ground. Blood slowly flows down Scar’s hand from the wire cutting into his skin while strangling Tai to death. You saw Scar’s lips move as he whispers something in Tai’s ear and then Tai went limp and lifeless. This just made you furious and you couldn’t tolerate any more of Scar’s use of people and demons any more.54

Siji~ You self-centered mother fucker!55

Scar~ *sarcastically speaking* Ooh and I’m so hurt right now. I have feelings too, you know! *laughs*56

Hiei~ Siji! Come back! The match is over, please come back.57

Yusuke~ Yeah Siji, lets get the fuck out of here!58

Siji~ *walks over to group* I’m not leaving until I have Scar’s head on a fucking platter!59

Scar~ Oh come on, Siji. Don’t take it so seriously baby.60

Siji~ Don’t you dare call me, “baby”!61

Scar~ *chuckles* I like it when your mad. It just provokes my desires. *smirks*62

Ruby~ Oh that sick bastard!63

Coil~ He’s a monster for blood! What are we going to do?64

Venom~ Its not we…Its what I am going to do about it.65

Ray~ Dad…You don’t mean-66

Venom~ I know Scar more than anyone. Its my fault that Scar is my baby girl’s curse and I am the one that to blame for your mother’s death.67

Petals~ *gasp*68

Rose~ That’s not true, daddy!69

Venom~ Yes it is! If I haven’t been a thief and a murderer in my past, any of this would’ve happen.70

Orochimaru~ Dad…71

Scar walks back to his sword, Merciless, and licked the wire clean of Tai’s blood which just sicken you and Hiei. You look off to your left to see the very weapon that was stolen from Koenma’s Volt and went off to retrieve it. Your father kept his eye on you for a minute then went back to Scar and from that moment saw a blood-lusting smile plaster on his face. This just put a shiver up Venom’s spine, a feeling a snake demon gets when death is just around the corner. You reach over for the Sword of Enternal Youth and admire its blade and its blacksmith work.72

Siji~ The Sword of Enternal Youth…So this is the sword that I was accused of taking. It’s a beautiful sword and I cant see anyone NOT stealing it. Its unique design and smith-work is just marvelous. But then again its useless, this sword is just for fashion for it hasn’t had a taste of blood or a battle until now. *sighs* I guess I have no choice but return it back to its proper owner.73

Just as you were to walk back to the group, your father shouted out your name and told you to watch out. You turned around getting an ominous feeling behind you. You felt that you have seen this before and then you remembered that this was part of your dream, this very arena is going to be your grave and you cant do anything about it. You closed your eyes accepting your fate. The sound of a sword stabbing and cutting through flesh was heard. You opened your eyes slowly and to your shock, you saw your father in front of your with a large sword in through his bosom. You felt a dampness on your face and clothes and saw blood splatter all over you and the ground. Venom removed Merciless and dropped it on the ground as he held onto his wound. He looks at his hands seeing them dripping of blood, he then fell down to the ground as a pool of blood begin to form under his body. Hiei, Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and the rest of the family rushes towards the scene as you fall onto your knees beside your dieing father. You reached out for his hand and held it close to you as tears begin to roll down your cheeks. Venom felt the warmth of your hands and weakly spoke to you.74

Venom~ Siji?75

Siji~ D-Daddy.76

Venom~ You are a strong and beautiful young woman, have I told you?77

Siji~ *sniff* Dad…78

Venom~ Heh. You have grown a lot and I’m sorry that I didn’t take notice of that. I’m sorry that I held you in your own home like a caged bird. *coughs* And I’m sorry I didn’t give you a lot of love like your mother has given you.79

Siji~ Daddy, don’t say that. You both love me the same nothing more. I should be sorry for not showing my appreciation of your love and kindness and protection you given me. I’m sorry for being stubborn to you dad, I really am. *more tears roll down your face*80

Venom~ Shh. Shh. Its ok, my princess. I’m just sorry for not being there, holding you close to ease you of your pain and suffering. I just wish I was there with you, witnessing the murder of your mother…my wife. I just wish I could turn back time and fix all the mistakes I have made.81

Siji~ *sniff; wipes tear* No one is perfect, daddy.82

Venom~ Funny…your mother would tell me the same thing.83

Siji~ Daddy, d-don’t worry, you’ll be ok.84

Venom~ Don’t worry about me, sweetie. The only that matters that you are alive and you are going to live out your life to the very end. I’m happy to have you as my baby girl and so is your mother. *coughs up blood*85

Siji~ Dad! Just hang on! W-we are going to take care of you. Everything will be alright!86

Venom~ Siji…*caresses your face* I’m sorry I was just so hard on you. It’s just that you have your mother’s soft eyes and a beautiful glow on your skin just like your mother’s. And it was so hard for me to look at you, for you remind me of everything about her. *a tear rolls down his cheek* I miss her so much but soon we will be together again.87

Siji~ Daddy, please! Don’t go! I’m sorry! Please don’t leave me!88

Venom~ Remember this, Siji, I will always love you even if I’m not there in person but I’m always there in spirit and heart. *his eyes slowly closes* Be safe…my little princess.89

A light breeze blew by and it brings sorrow with it. Venom’s grip lighten up and slipped out of your grasp. You try your best to hold back your tears but they just flow down your rosy cheeks as you call out to your father, shaking him lightly. When you got no reaction from him, you folded your arms on his chest, buried your face in your arms and cried onto your father’s chest.90

Siji~ Nooo! *hic* Daddy! Please come back! *sob* Daddy, please! Come back! I love you…! DADDY! 91

Fang~ I can’t believe that he’s gone.92

Rose~ *eyes get watery* He promised that we would be a family again once the tournament is over. *sniff* That we all are going to start a new beginning, being thankful what we have for we might not never get to do it again.93

Tsume and Ray just bow their heads down, letting tears fall down their face as Coil cried his eyes out like a child. Petals hugged Skulls tightly, crying for the first time as Skulls rubbed her back and petted her head to make her relax. Ruby covered her face and cried into her hands then hugs Pearl and she hugs back. The rest of the boys went over to their father’s body and kneels down to him and prays, being thankful for having him and for all the things he did to make things happen so they can live out a happy life. Hiei went over to you and held you in his arms, kissing your head. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara also over to you and gave you a group hug. Hiei can smell your father’s blood on your hands and embraces you tighter now knowing the pain of lost will never go away. Two very important figures in your life are now gone and there is nothing that you or anyone can do to bring them back. You then wipe your tears, get up and death glared at the one person who caused all this pain and suffering in the first place. And there you saw Scar, clapping.94

Scar~ Oh bravo, bravo! What a show you put up Siji. My favorite part was when the sword pierced through Venom’s body and a whole lot of blood came out. *laughs*95

Siji~ Shut up, Scar! You had your fun but now you have to pay the price with your own blood!96

Scar~ Ooh, I would love to see that happen. *smirks*97

Scar then put his hand out in front of him and Merciless levitated back to him and strapped it on his back. Scar then started walking towards you with the same smile on his face.98

Scar~ But I do wonder, whose blood would be shed first? Mine or your family? *chuckles*99

Siji~ *clenches fists* You’re not going to be shedding anyone’s blood but your own, Scar!100

Hiei~ *draws out his sword and dashed towards Scar* You’re DEAD!101

Siji~ Hiei, no! This isnt your fight!102

But it was to late, Hiei slammed his sword down on Scar but he dodged it and ran out of the arena. Hiei followed while you went after him and everyone else went along as well, to an end and to put some sense into Hiei’s head. You have chased out back of the arena and saw Scar run right around the corner. You had a bad feeling about this but Hiei just kept on going after him. Once you made it to the corner, you were shocked to see Hiei making out with some girl. And this got you pissed off.103

Hiei~ *brake away from the kiss* This is not what you think it is, Siji!104

Siji~ Oh I know completely what it is, Hiei!105

Hiei~ Siji, please hear me out!106

Jazime~ Just listen to him, little girl. Your man don’t want a scrawny little brat for a girlfriend. He wants a elegant, mature person like me.107

Siji~ You are more like a tramp to me you bitch.108

Jazime~ What? Excuse me little missy, for your information…I am-109

From that moment, you punched the girl right on the side of her face, knocking her down. You then said, “You are nothing more but a whore to the world.” That angered the girl, making her pounce on you and start pulling onto your clothes.110

Jazime~ Listen here, little bitch! I’m no whore! Jazime Comoto aint no whore!111

Siji~ Oh, so your name is Jazime huh? Well, Jazime Whoreto, get the fuck off of me!112

You can say a cat fight broke out and there was hair pulling and scratching at each other’s face. You then push Jazime down and started to deliver punches to her. Hiei then grabbed you and pulled you off of Jazime. Jazime got up and ran off into the woods. You were so angry at Jazime and now to Hiei.113

Siji~ *gets out of Hiei’s grasp* Why the hell were you kissing her?!114

Hiei~ Listen to me, Siji. Its not what you think.115

Siji~ Ok. Ok, tell me what happen then. I would love to hear it!116

Hiei~ You know damn well, I was chasing Scar! Just as I made that corner, that bitch grabbed me and started to kiss me! I didn’t kiss her back, none of that shit!117

Siji~ Oh, so if you werent kissing her back, why did you let her kiss you?!118

Hiei~ ‘Cause she kissed me the very moment you went around the fucking corner!119

Siji~ Rrrr! So why the fuck did you stop me from killing her?!120

Hiei~ I stop you from killing Jazime so you wouldn’t kill our baby!121

Siji~ You do have a fucking thick skull, Hiei! I told you already, we are strong yet you dought it and go on being soft with me! What happen to the Hiei I know that would understand the situation and would join in any fight to end it clean?! Huh?! Where did he go?! I even told you that Scar is my fight! I am the one that’s going to kill him yet you just went off after him yourself!122

Hiei~ I didn’t want to lose you like you lost your parents!123

Siji~ That’s the problem with you, Hiei! You worry to much even though I tell you not to! 124

Hiei~ You know what…I don’t care! *begins to walk away*125

Siji~ Tell me, where did the Hiei I know and love go?126

Hiei~ *stops* He left trying to think over the choice of being with you is the right one…127

Siji~ *gasp* W-well, you know what!?128

That’s when you took something off your finger and threw it at Hiei as tears rolled down your face. “I wish I would’ve stayed dead so I wouldn’t have met you!” You said sadly at Hiei and ran off to the docks of Hang-Man Island. Your brothers and sisters followed behind as Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara stood there stunned over the argument and understand that you and Hiei broke up. Hiei picked up the item that you have thrown at him and saw it was the engagement ring that he has given you on the very morning of your birthday. He squeezes the ring in his hand then puts it in his pocket. Hiei begins to walk off to the docks as well and the gang followed close behind. That whole time as Hiei and the others walks back to the boat, Hiei sheds one tear over losing you and that your paradise will never be complete…ever again.
