Chapter 11: 1000 years of pain
Fire is a dangerous thing...It tends to consume everything in its path...but should it be hated for that...It is only following its nature...yes I showed you...1000 years ago...that just as darkness takes light...Light can take the darkness...1000 years ago fire engulfed my world but it was nothing new...

Yuki opened his eyes to the sound of birds singing, beside him lay the zweilts stirring, Luka, Takashiro and Regia too. It had happened so fast but it was better to happen now more than never, Takashiro attacked by Regia on the way back was only around the corner when we got there to help and realizing Regia was caring not at all for the commotion he caused Takashiro threw the Echnotch my way to keep him away from it.
However the second it touched me I knew all the answers were about to show themselves whether we were ready or not...This place...how nostalgic...
"Where are we?" Hotsuma asked helping Shunsei up... "These are my memories from 1000 years ago...you'll see" they were all confused until they saw Takashiro and Regia standing by a scared Sakura tree. "Hmm...Well I will return before the tree blooms friend so don't worry" Takashiro spoke to Regia "I see" a rock collided with Regia's temple as children threw rocks while calling 'Monster'.
"No way is this really?" Toko asked but everyone already knew it was the past, even Regia knew. "Stop..." Takashiro went to stand in front of Regia when "That is quite enough..." Yomi spoke, the children ran because of her stern voice. "I dare say...Are you alright Regia?" she stepped close to look at the cut on his head "It is fine" Regia didn't care but Yomi said "Stay still this may sting" as she placed oil on his wound. "There all better" she smiled at Regia as Takashiro spoke "As expected of you Yomi, ever the medicine women" she laughed "I'm just good with herbs Takashiro I must look after my two favorite men after all and you two get into all sorts of trouble when I'm not watching, Men and their secrets I dare say"
"I assure you, we would love you to always join our conversations Yomi" Takashiro said with a smile on his face "right Regia? Yomi looked into the blue eyes watching her "Of course" she smiled in return.

"Yomi...is something wrong?" Regia asked Yomi who sat leaning against the wall, when no response came he tried to look into her face. "Maybe I am a fool...since when did trusting others become so difficult Regia?"
She asked her face cast down Regia followed her eye line "I don't understand what you mean Yomi...Where did those marks on your wrists come from?! Let me see them" He asked worried for they were bleeding, the zweilts and everyone watched as she slowly tried to pull her hands free. "I'm fine...you worry too much..." Yomi said simply "Yomi show me your face...Yomiyuki show me!" Regia raised his voice so she turned and then even Takashiro was shocked to see, a beaten face, cut and bruised.
"Ah...Regia I told you I am fine..." Yomi tried to protest as carried her into his room, placing her down on the futon and getting medicine and clean water, she could not look him in the eye.
"Who was it?" he asked as he cleaned them "Regia...I can't say..." Regia looked at her surprised "Yes you can Yomi...If you are worried about you're safety I'll..." but Yomi interrupted "NO! That's just it...you can't! I'm not worried about me...they'll do anything to put the blame on someone other than him...so no...You'll get hurt...no" she was crying but she was trying to hide them.
"Yomi..." by instinct alone Regia spoke "I'm sorry I'm terrible at helping when you need it most...at least if Takashiro were here..." but Yomi Shock her head and she surprised Regia when she leapt into his arms. She was now crying so loud Regia could feel her shaking; he held her close until she started to calm down, Regia wanted answers but she had fallen asleep in his arms and he had no intention of waking her.

Everyone watched the memories go by, like watching a movie or a play. "Yomi I know you are avoiding me, if you don't want to tell me that's fine but tell someone...how about Alga" She flinched at his name and no-one missed it. "Yomi you...this is to do with Alga?" she looked at Regia concerned and said "Please Regia...you don't understand what you're getting involved in trying to help me...please"

Regia was worried about Yomi that was one thing but he had no idea what was going on and he hated that. Knowing she had more bruises this late afternoon made him decide enough was enough he'd threaten to call Takashiro back who defiantly get it out of her if she didn't tell him. He walked to the barrier room, Yomi's last job of the day was to check on it and he knew she would be there; he was surprised to hear Alga's voice coming from the gap though, which he looked through.
He was shocked to see Alga corner Yomi into the wall, her grimwore landing with a thump to the ground "Ah... Alga be careful, the Echnotch is not a simple book...you can't just throw it like that!" Alga just replied to Yomi with a laugh.
"Like that is your problem right now, be honest you couldn't care less about the book what you want is for me to move" He smiled getting closer to her. "If you understand then why are you still standing there?" Yomi asked a little angry "Ah...now I apologize I didn't mean to upset you Yomi, I just thought the request is taking a lot longer then I hoped to start? I know you're not keen on the idea but surely you understand by now, my family need to keep the Giou clan strong you see" Yomi looked down more annoyed.
"There are other ways, you just tell lies to accompany you're greed for wanting more power. I have told you before and I will tell you again I have no interest in being your wife and I have no interest in carrying children for you to you as power tools, now move" Yomi shoved passed him and reached down for her grimwore hoping that the conversation was over but, it wasn't.
The next thing everyone knew Yomi was on the floor, her clothes ripped off down the front, she blinked to have Alga hold her arms down against the floor. "Don't worry Yomi if you're good and don't resist much I won't hurt you I promise. Ah...I can smell the God's power flowing through you Yomi, just give me a child already and I'll leave you alone" he says laughing as she wriggles to break free, he bites down hard on her chest "Ahh..."
"Stop it let go or I swear..." he laughs again "Or you'll what do nothing like last time? Without your Grimwore Yomi you can't even push me off you. Oh let me guess...instead you'll cry for you precious Regia to save you?" he laughed when Yomi froze at Regia's name. "You really think I didn't notice how worried he has been over you? Or how scared you are that I'll hurt him somehow? You have fallen for the half-demon haven't you, lucky him"
Alga started to force himself into Yomi despite her protests "Ahhhh...That hurts get off of me...huh?" Surprised Yomi blinks and in anger Regia threw Alga off Yomi and picked Yomi up despite her concerns for being too heavy.

He placed her down on his own bed, Yomi could tell Regia was angry and didn't want to make it worse. "I'm fine Regia so..." but Regia ran up and pinned her to the bed. "No...No you are not fine Yomi...If I hadn't come to see you do know what he would have done?" she looked away sad and Regia went numb.
"Yes you do because he did it before didn't he?" he asked angrily, She looks up at him "That's I'm sorry he..." but Regia interrupted her "How far?"
"Huh?" She looked shocked but she knew what he was asking "Regia that's...you don't want to know that..."
"Yomi...tell me because right now I'm not in the mood" her face went pained again, "Did he rape you?" Yomi's tears feel when he finally asked.
"Yes...I'm sorry..." Yomi answered crying but didn't move from Regia's hold, he leaned in and started kissing the tears away. Yomi had never said her feelings but she now had apparent pink cheeks making Regia realize Alga wasn't wrong. He went to move away, however Yomi saw this as a chance perhaps and kissed him on the lips so he returned it gently then more passionate.
When she broke away to take a breath, he looked over her and saw the cuts and bruises on her inner thighs, "He hurt you, I'll clean it" Yomi went to stop him but was surprised to see what he meant by clean. She arched back involuntarily as Regia began licking and sucking on her sensitive skin, "Mhmm...Ahh..." she moaned despite herself.
"If you want me to stop tell me now because otherwise I won't be able to" Regia asked looking down at Yomi serious. She shook her head, and in answer kissed him as he lent in.

"Why didn't you say?" Regia asked her while they lay in each other's arms, she smiled "I thought you'd have no interest in me like that and I didn't want you to feel awkward around me" Regia ran his fingers threw her hair. "I've always loved you Yomi but I thought you loved Takashiro" Regia said this and she looked surprised "What gave you that idea?"
He smiled "I'm not sure, he loves you though" Regia replied, "That's...I never noticed wait won't he be a little shocked then?" she asked and Regia laughed "Maybe more than a little but you know he'll smile after that"
"You're right; he always talks about you being happy you know Regia" she says lying down on his chest "Yes I know, he worries too much" she laughs at what Regia's said and says "You're one to talk...it's only been a week and you are worried already aren't you?"
He looks at her curiously "How did you know?" she tilts her head knowingly "You told me he is important to you Regia I know that much" She places a hand on his cheek "Kiss me again?" she asks and he leans in "As many as you want"

Regia sits with Yomi under the Sakura tree and Regia opens his mouth to speak "So if I'm following all of this right, Alga wants you to have his child because you are the Giou angel right? He wants his child to have your power too" she nodded "Yes but please understand my body only appears human because I'm weak"
Yomi looks at him "What is it?" she asks and Regia asks "Why are you weak?"
"That's a long story, hmmm...basically I have been weak since I helped the Giou clan seal the King of Duras away, and this form helps me keep energy" she answered.
"So I am dating an older woman?" Regia asked with a smile and she laughed "You have no idea" Yomi looked up at the tree and said "Time really does move slowly".
"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? You'll be able to keep yourself safe if I'm not around and he is" Yomi looked at him. "There is only one thing that makes and angel heal quicker Regia and it's not something that should be given lightly because if the volunteer they get it off is simply offering to help with in fact malice...they will die and the angel feels all their pain" she look sad "we turn the negative emotions into positive ones, as we in turn gain energy from this, but if all they offer is malice then we can't help them"
"How do you do that though a spell or something?" she smiled at that and leaned over him "Shall I show you?" Regia nodded and she moved to his neck. "Yomi...Ah" she bit Regia gently but deep, he heard her swallow and knew she was drinking but he felt calm, in fact he hadn't felt this safe in forever and it was strange.
Yomi pulled away, her eyes glowing gold slightly right in front of Regia's and he kissed her so she would know he wasn't going anywhere.

"If he thinks I'm buying it he is wrong" Yomi was trying to calm down an angry Regia who had just finished talking to Alga, who was arranging an engagement party form them. The Elders said they would let them be together on the condition they got married within the month so they said yes.
"I'm sure he just knows there's not much he can do now were engaged right?" Yomi tried to reason with him however Regia lent in close "You wouldn't be forgiving him already would you Yomi?" she shook her head and said "No of course not it's just he'll have to be careful right, it's fine Takashiro will be back before the wedding anyway he-he, he really will be surprised"

"Yomi it's okay honest...do you want me to call the doctor?" Regia was asking her worriedly. "Uhm actually Regia it's not like I'm sick-sick you know..." Regia looked at Yomi confused and she smiled awkwardly "Well thing is...I think I'm pregnant"
Everyone even Regia went quite, the only one thinking was Yuki.
That's right...it all happen so fast...this is what I made you forget...the feelings...the good and the bad...because the idea...that you would remembered what happened next was too painful to let happen...
XXX
Time moves...as we wait for Takashiro to return...to tell him all the happy things...and let him laugh at us in turn...
For...he will tell a joke of how he can't leave us alone...and yet he will be the happiest one...oh if only that could have happened how much more simple life would be...I guess we'll never know...
Fire burns strong...but holy fire...that is even worse...it scars the earth to its very core...
They all said to wait for you Takashiro...orders will come...but I'm sorry...I panicked...Regia was gone...I ran to the barrier room searched everywhere...but only fire no Regia...Duras yes...but no Regia...
I found the problem...someone had broken the seal...so I began to fix it...but as I rose to my feet I felt a sharp pain and saw blood spatter threw the air...my blood...my unborn child's...I feel unconscious which is why I didn't scream...but not before I saw him there staring at me...
Regia must have made the same choice as me...find Yomi...together we'll know what to do...but what he found was his future wife and child...lying in a pool of blood...he was about to help...give me some blood but...another fight began...Regia knew all of me...all my secrets but one...
The one I sealed...the soulless being they called King of Duras...Lucifer...my brother stood in Alga's form...the soul consumed that's for sure...
Regia knew who he was...but not that he was my brother...told this...Regia finally understood...run I screamed...but he wouldn't leave me...Regia was hoping you would show...just hold him back he thought...but it was no use I knew...for he had drank his fill...
I watched as he wore Regia down...barely fighting now...so I did the last thing he and I thought I ever would again...I sunk my teeth into my brothers neck...and got just enough back to do...you're most hated spell...of all...
I sent you back from where you came...and dragged myself to my dying beloved...turned back the clock of memories...he won't remember the real me...but alive you will be...I will be gone but you'll be fine...at least I thought so anyway...
Did the clan really not see how much you cared and had done? No they do...they just lied and said it was you...Takashiro will believe you though so...tell him before its too late...No don't leave him...then you'll both be alone!
Please Takashiro notice...they don't want to admit Alga did it...so there blaming him...I made him forget...I took away the pain...but I took the joy also...and now both you're times are frozen...
I had to make it right...I heard you cast the forbidden charm to bring forth god's light...so reborn fate is a funny thing...no memories...just pain I can't explain...I'll end it, this war one day...I have to no matter the cost...if I must die...then so be it...but I'll be damned if you're insanity we'll take those I Love too brother!

Everyone aside from Regia awoke in the twilight mansion, at first the zweilts and Luka panicked but they found Takashiro watching him in the garden, he holds the Echnotch and was looking up at the sky when Toko called out.
"Yuki-Chan..." she looks worried but none as much as Takashiro.
He walks up to Yuki and asks "Did that really happen?" in reply Yuki nods his head "I sent him to infernos, I think he'll need time to think don't you?" he smiled at Takashiro. "Did you really die? Having just watched you're unborn child stolen from you..." he asked watching Yuki's reaction and his smile faded. "The Giou clan survived that night because I decided I was okay with dying if you and Regia were safe also...but I won't lie my choice to die came from mostly the feeling of being tired of losing important things, I just wanted to rest my eyes, I guess" Yuki looked down at the floor.
"Yuki..." Takashiro reached out for him but Yuki spoke frantically "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm...I'm so...so...sorry...I'm sorry...I'm..." however Luka pulled him close from behind "You have nothing to be sorry for Yuki, calm down...you've remember a lot today its bound to be too much to deal with in one day" Yuki turned and wrapped both arms around Luka and said "It hurts Luka...it hurts..."
