I Will Break You By Rizukiyatchan Kou Irvine
Chapter 3 Venganza
"You mean you don't remember who did this to you, Healer?"
"Iya, gomen nasai.. I don't remember a thing."
"I don't want to put pressure, it is said that doing that reduces chances of remembering... But if you do remember anything, please inform me. The culprit must be apprehended."
"Hai, wakateru. I will keep that in mind, Princess."
Yaten stood up off of her right knee, whirling around rapidly before walking out of the room. Kakyuu watched her, sighing worriedly. She obviously didn't believe her silver haired bodyguard, she knew she had to have some memory of what happened. But what Kakyuu didn't know was why Yaten refused to say it. She couldn't understand, because it could happen again and this time, Kakyuu was worried that Seiya and Taiki wouldn't be able to find her.
Just as Yaten walked out of the room, Seiya and Taiki popped up from beind the doors, immediately moving up so they were both walking beside her. "So, what did she say, Yaten?" asked Seiya.
"Just questions ne? Don't push her too much, Seiya," said Taiki.
"Just questions, exactly," replied Yaten, rubbing the back of her neck. "I rather not talk about it."
Seiya and Taiki stopped in their tracks, blinking at the figure of their friend as she continued to walk along the hallway. "Y-you don't care?? Yaten, the person could do it again.." Seiya started walking a bit faster, to catch up. "And normally you'd be furious and would snap at us or something."
"Is that what you want me to do?" Yaten turned around, putting her hands on her hips. "You want me to yell at you and be all angry and something because I blacked out?"
"No.. That's not.." Seiya sweatdropped, trying to think of the right words she wanted to say.
"It's that you're not acting like yourself, Yaten. And whether Seiya knows or wants to say it or not, we're worried." Seiya nodded rapidly to Taiki's answer.
"Ah? So what is normal for me?"
"Yaten.." whispered Seiya, walking over to her. "We're just worried.. Do you really mind it that much..?"
'Shit,' thought Yaten, 'I hate it when she gives me this pouty tone.'
Yaten sighed, shaking her head. "No, I don't. There's just nothing to tell. I don't want to worry either of you over nothing."
"Yeah... well... I rather you say that than not saying anything at all." Seiya shrugged. "You're troublesome."
"Oi, what's what supposed to mean?!" Yaten felt her cheeks grow warmer.
"There's just nothing to tell!" Seiya winked, placing a hand on Yaten's shoulder for a moment as she walked past her, a grin plastered on her face.
"SEIYA! What the hell is that supposed to mean?! This is just revenge for not telling you isn't it?!"
Taiki chuckled, talking past Yaten with a small smile on her face. "Don't bother, Yaten. She'll have you playing this game of hers for hours."
"And you're in on it too, aren't you?!" Yaten grumbled. "Some family [1] I have."
**********
"Kakyuu-hime, do you need anything?"
"Iya, arigato, Yoshi-chan."
Yoshi nodded, moving strands of green away from her eyes as she stood up straight. "Call if you need anything, Princess."
Kakyuu nodded to Yoshi's comment and dismissed her, watching the girl scurry off out of the room and out of sight. Once she made sure she was gone, Kakyuu stood up, walking in the direction of the parlor. If her bodyguards nor one of her allies knew anything of the actions that took place, then she would find out for herself. She didn't want to wait around as if she couldn't do anything, because she knew and the rest of the planet knew she could do whatever she wanted for herself. She just wished she knew where to start, as she headed down the narrow hall.
Yoshi hurried up the stairs, going toward the third floor. She decided she'd make it look like she was looking for clues, when in reality what she was doing was trying to figure out how to strike next. Now that she already made the first move, striking from behind would be a give away, and Yaten would catch her in the act. And Yoshi couldn't have this.
"Hm.. Maybe I could incorporate those visions of Fighter-sama's into this.." she thought aloud as she made it to the top of the staircase. "But to do that I need to actually know what the visions are.."
"Yoshi?"
Yoshi skidded to a halt, feeling her heart quicken in its pace. That was so definetly Seiya's voice. Even if she couldn't recognize it, her heart would. She turned around and placed a hand on the banister, forming a smile on her lips at the sight of the leather-clad Senshi who came up the stairs behind her. "Fighter-sama! Why are you henshined, is something wrong?"
"Eh, don't consider it something wrong yet. Consider it something wrong when I find out who's responsible."
Yoshi felt all the colors on her face disappear, and her heartbeat quickened even more. 'Does she know?!'She gulped, blinking. "What do you plan to do?"
"Don't know yet. Figure my anger will take over from there, ne?" Yoshi just nodded nervously. "And I figure I could pick up traces better like this.. And gives me a head start on payback. But what are you doing up here? I never see you on the third floor or higher."
'Why is she so protective of Healer-san so suddenly?' Yoshi's eyes narrowed. 'It isn't like she loves her or anything. They're just allies..... Right?' "I'm also looking for clues. I feel as though I let you four down. And not I must make up for my let down."
"Heh, it's as much my fault as anyone's."
"N-nani..?" Yoshi felt the heartbeat quicken more, if it could.
"Earlier at the practice. Let my guard down there. And I was the last one with her before she disappeared. I let my guard down there as well."
"Yeah, well.. She can take care of herself."
"Maybe so, but I've said it a billion times. I'm Sailorstarfighter. It is my responsibility."
'She look so adorable when she's serious..' Yoshi bit her lip, leaning in a little bit closer. "Wakateru. But, uhm, Fighter-sama?"
"Hai?"
"This is rather off topic.. But how would you feel if you knew someone had... attractions toward you? I mean, I'm not talking about you I just mean in general. If you overheard someone saying 'oh I like Seiya-san' or something. How would you react?"
Fighter raised a brow, that was truly off topic. She shrugged. "It would depend on who it was that said that, I guess."
"Ah, I see." She nodded.
"Why?" Fighter grinned.
Yoshi blushed deeply, swooning internally over that simple little grin Fighter had. 'I cannot stand it. I need to make a move, I need to do something.. I might combust if I don't. And, Yaten-san isn't around...' "Because I wanted to know, like, what would happen if.."
"I'm sorry, Yoshi-san, but could you hurry? I don't want that happening to anyone again.."
"I wanted to know what you would do if someone did this to you!" Yoshi leaned in, wrapping her arms around Fighter's waist before pressing her lips roughly onto the other girl's, trying to make it as passionate and as 'real' as possible.
Fighter's eyes widened and for a moment she couldn't move, she just kept seeing Usagi's eyes, and Kakyuu's and --
"It will be your downfall!"
Yoshi's hands traveled up and down Fighter's back, just memorizing every line and curve of the girl's body. She found herself playing with Fighter's long ponytail and the back straps of her top before they came around and started caressing her stomach and hips. it was then that she realized what she was doing, and her eyes opened wide in shock.
Fighter shook her head, snapping out of her daze before she placed her hands on Yoshi's shoulders, pushing her back. "What the hell..?!" she screamed, out of breath. She couldn't erase the feelings of Yoshi's hands all over her.
"A demonstration..!" Yoshi placed her hands over her mouth in shock. "It wasn't meant to go so far but I wanted to see if you'd react the same way as me!"
"Well.. You didn't--" Fighter's eyes widened, and her breath got caught in her throat. Behind Yoshi was a transparent figure.. with white hair and pale lilac eyes.. a tiara on her forehead.. "Y-you're.."
Yoshi blinked, seeing the fear etched in Fighter's midnight blue eyes. "Fighter- sama? Fighter-sama what's wrong?!" Yoshi reached out in fear that her 'one-sided- lover' would fall down the stairs. But it was too late.
"Tsukino Usagi will be your downfall!"
"FIGHTER-SAMA!!!"
Fighter couldn't hear Yoshi's screams as her eyes rolled back and she collapsed down the long, marble fight of stairs.
"Fighter-sama.. Fighter-sama.. FIGHTER-SAMA!! Kakyuu-hime!! Taiki-sama!! Yaten-sama! Somebody!!!"
Yoshi ran down the stairs as fast as she could, feeling herself trembling violently in fear. The girl she had pined for was lying at the bottom of the stairs, motionless. No sights of anything broken or any blood, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure of this. She finally jumped down the last five stairs and bent down beside Fighter, not wanting to touch her in fear of the slim chance that the girl could have been rendered paralyzed from the fall.
"Somebody onegai!!"
Before Yoshi could start screaming even more, Maker came running up the stairs with Kakyuu right behind her.
"Seiya..! Yoshi what..?!" Maker bent down beside her fallen ally.
"I don't know!! We were talking then she went pale like she had seen a ghost.. I don't know if it was random or if there was something behind me but.. Oh God!"
"Yoshi-chan, please get help from the infirmary!" Kakyuu commanded, trying to hide any signs of worry from her voice.
"As you wish, your highness!" Yoshi cried, standing up and rushing down the stairs.
"Fighter.. Fighter can you hear me?" Kakyuu's calls came out as whispers, and her hands genly caressed her Senshi's cheeks, as if to remind herself that Fighter was still there beside her.
"Let me see.." Maker got up, running up the stairs to the third floor. Once she arrived at the top, she looked down both sides of the hall for anything that would have freaked her friend out so badly. She turned back around to find Kakyuu looking at her hopefully, but Maker sighed, shrugging. There was nothing.
"Where the hell is Healer.." Maker hurried back down and bent down beside Kakyuu, trying to see if Fighter was bleeding from anywhere.
A dimly lit hallway was toward the right of where Maker and Kakyuu kept vigil on Fighter's motionless body. This hall lead to the music rooms, but Fighter kept putting off the idea of changing light bulbs in that specific hall. Silently, secretly, Healer stood there, leaning against one of the walls. Her eyes were narrowed and her hands were by her sides in fists. "Revenge is necessary."
********** Yoshi ran down the hallway that led toward the infirmary, tears pouring out of her brown eyes. She felt responsible for Fighter's sudden fall. Was it her kiss that freaked her out enough to cause her to fall down the stairs? Nothing else made sense..
Suddenly, just as fast as she began running she stopped, mouth frozen wide open in a silent scream. Temporarily. "H-Healer-sama!"
"Don't 'Healer-sama' me," spat Healer, sending a kick to Yoshi's face. Yoshi screamed loudly, closing her eyes tightly as she awaited the impact of Healer's kick. It never came. Yoshi opened her eyes slowly and she froze, seeing the high heeled boot centimeters from coming into contact with her face.
Yoshi felt herself trembling more as the tip of the boot hit her gently on each cheek.
"I-I didn't do anything!"
"Hmm?" Healer brought her leg down, her eyebrow twitching in anger. "Oh, no. 'Course not. First you decide 'oh let's knock Yaten unconscious and see what happens!' THEN you decide 'oh let's kiss Seiya passionatly even though she doesn't want it and see what happens!' THEN you nearly paralyze the girl by somehow causing her to fall down a flight of stairs, then you have the NERVE to say you didn't do anything when you know damn well you did!" Healer sent a quick punch to Yoshi's face, and the girl didn't expect it so she was it on her right cheek, and stumbled backwards.
"I don't KNOW why she fell down the stairs!! She just did!"
"Ha! You think it's 'cause you were trying to take off her clothes?!" Healer sent out another punch directed at Yoshi's left cheek, but this time the girl dodged, barely.
"I was not!!"
"Don't lie to me! I know the truth. 'Oh, Fighter-sama's so sexy, she has a body to die for and I'd to anything to just ravish it!' Don't say you were making up that bullshit!" Healer's voice was shaking due to her anger and how loud she was screaming as she sent two, three, four more punches in Yoshi's direction. The girl cartwheeled out of the way, wincing due to the pain in her face.
"Please!"
"Don't please me! You didn't listen to me before so why should I listen to you?!"
"I was doing it for your own good!" Yoshi snapped.
Healer raised an eyebrow, bringing her arm back in preparation for another punch. "Do you have any idea what you're saying?"
"Yes I do!" Yoshi stood up straight. "After all those jokes and fights and all those beatings from earth, after those days where she sat down a bit depressed and stressed out, heartbroken, you decide 'oh I'm going to just fall in love with her!' LOVE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY!" Yoshi sent a high kick to Healer's face, but she dodged it. "You can't just love someone out of thin air, that's not love! That's PLAYING WITH THEIR EMOTIONS!" Another kick.
"And you shouldn't be talking!" Healer screamed, tying in a mix of kicks and flips and punches to try to throw Yoshi off. "I would NEVER TOY WITH HER EMOTIONS AFTER ALL THAT'S HAPPENED!" Another punch. "Who are you to judge me?! You're a maniac!"
"The only maniac around here is you! I thought you were clairvoyant, couldn't you save her from all this?! Couldn't you save the PLANET FROM WHAT IT WENT THROUGH?!"
Healer's eyes widened and she stopped her kick in midair, unable to reply.
"Ha! I knew it. You WANTED this to happen to Kinmoku. You wanted Fighter-sama to be heartbroken so you could take her while she's vulnerable, you wanted to put Kakyuu-hime out of the picture and the only way to do it was by not paying attention that fateful day!"
"You're a bitch.. You're making this up!" Healer screamed, visions of the events of the day Galaxia attacked refilling her head.
"You're going to let Fighter-sama down the same way you let this planet down.."
"Shut up."
"You're going to kill us all."
"Shut up."
"You don't deserve to be a Senshi."
"SHUT UP!!!!" Healer sent punch after punch and kick after kick to Yoshi who expected the girl to crack not snap. Yoshi did her best to dodge, and by doing this she began to walk backwards, trying to find an opportunity to make a run for it. She never had the chance.
"Take back everything you said and everything you've done.. You've yet to realize that you should NEVER MESS WITH ME!" Healer sent one final punch to Yoshi which hit her in the stomach, causing her to lose balance. She coughed, the air going out of her throat as she stumbled backwards -- oddly down the flight of stairs which led to the first floor.
Healer took a breath, eyes wide. She wiped her forehead and just stared at Yoshi's prone body before she felt a hand on her shoulder, whirling her around.
"Healer! What has gotten into you?!"
"P-P-Princess!" 'Oh no. She only caught my side of the onslaught didn't she.'
"I expected better from you! Where were you when Fighter was knocked down? Yoshi-chan was sent to get help and this is what happens?!"
"No, wait a second!"
Kakyuu put a hand on her cheek, she hated yelling at her Starlights. She absolutely hated it. But she couldn't let this go by. "Healer.. I'm sorry. You're dismissed for the time being."
"N-nani?!"
"Gomen nasai," Kakyuu whispered as she hurried down the stairs to check on Yoshi. Healer didn't feel upset or betrayed.. She felt.. angry. Terribly, insanely angry. She slammed her fist into the wall and stomped down the hallway toward her room, eyes narrowed. "The revenge is far from over. But am I risking Kakyuu-hime's trust on this?" She pulled open the door to her room and slammed it shut, locking it as she slid down the door onto the floor, trembling in anger. "Damnit. Just..damnit."
My world keeps changing without my say
And these things better not stay that way -- 'cause I'll
I take back everything I've adored
To say I'm sorry is the hardest thing so
I'll learn to fly
