The Six Heavens of Mishna Chapter 16 Two Days Later: The group was leaving the city; they thought it would be too dangerous to stay in one place. They had paid for all damaged caused to the hotel. Cruishiru had explained to everyone why Shiroi and Ryka knew her and why she was in dept to them. When she had finished explaining Ryka and Shiroi were off punishment but the trust thing still held. "Hey look it's the guy from the week before." A girl shouted as she pointed at Shiro. "Where?!!" Four other girls screamed and looked at where the girl pointed. "Come on girls." The first girl commanded. "Not again." Shiro whined as he turned around and ran away from the approaching girls. A hand caught his wrist and yanked him back. He looked angrily at Ryka. "Let go!" "Stupid, just face them and tell them you're not interested!" "Like that's going to work! Let go." "Then lie! Say you have a girlfriend that you love very much." She sneered at him. "Fine just let go!" Shiro yelled. He turned to face the girls who were about to tackle him down. "Hey, come on I gotta girl!" One of the girls stopped which caused all of them to stop. She looked at him with her violet eyes skeptically. "Who?" That was enough to make Shiro panic. "Get him." The others couldn't help snickering trying to hold in their laughter as they saw him backing away. Ryka felt sorry for him. 'Maybe I should help him.' Putting her best smile on she said. "Shiro darling!" She grabbed his arm just when the girls were about to tackle him down. Ryka looked at the girls with a glare. "What do you want with my, <.I can't believe I'm going to say this. > Boyfriend?" Reiko and the others all bit their lips from yelling 'What?' While they looked at Ryka with wide eyes. "Boyfriend!?" Shiro yelled. "I'm not you boyfriend." Ryka let go of his arm as if it burned her. She looked at him hurt. "Y-you're dumping me?" Then anger was shown in her eyes. "Fine!" She looked at the five girls in front of them, "You can have him, he wasn't much of a boyfriend anyway." Shiro looked at the girls approaching and turned to Kyra who held an expression asking. 'Well?'. He looked back at the girls and visibly gulped. 'God please help me.' He prayed before he rushed over to Ryka. "Oh how could that have ever slipped my mind? I'm sorry Ryka." He said pleading with his eyes for her to help him. "Are you guys really a couple or not?" One of the girls asked. "Yes." "You can say that." Came at once from Ryka and Shiro. "If so then kiss." Another girl said with a slight grin. "I mean IF you are one then you won't mind kissing right?" "No problem." Ryka kissed Shiro on the cheek. "Not the cheek the lips." Another one said. Ryka and Shiro looked at each other then back at the girls with wide eyes. "Are you serious?" "We don't like to kiss in public." They answered at the same time. "Oh why not?" Shiroi asked playfully. "I think it would be cute." "Yea, I mean you ARE a couple right?" Shinjoku said. Shiro and Ryka glared at both of them. "You know what? Let's break up Shiro." Ryka said as she began to walk away. "Oh no we are not. You started it you finish it." Shiro said as he yanked her towards him and kissed her, but before he did he whispered. "Let's give them what they want." Ryka's eyes were as wide as baseball, when she felt Shiro's lips on hers. She quickly brushed the feeling away remembering the girls were still there and pretended to enjoy it. 'This is embarrassing! My parents are watching! I'm going to kill you Shiro!' Her mind screamed. "Aww, she really is his girlfriend, come on girls lets go." The girls walked away a little down. "Wow," Shiroi whispered as she stared at her kissing friends while Mishna whistled. Kera, Hiroshi, Susaki, and Satoki all blushed from the intensity of the kiss. As soon as the girls were far away from them Ryka pushed Shiro way from her and spat on the ground. Shiro wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "What the hell were you thinking?!!!" Ryka screamed. "Like I wanted to do it in the first place." Shiro shot back. "My parents were watching how embarrassing!" Ryka screamed as she turned away and ran to the near by fountain. "I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life." She grumbled as she washed her mouth. Hiroshi gave his son his small water bottle. Shiro took it and pour some water in his mouth only to spit it back out. He glared at his sister and Shinjoku. "You are soo dead." He growled pointing at Shiroi and walked away. "Where are you going?" Reiko asked "To a restaurant and ask if they have a bathroom. I think I'm going to be sick." As he left Ryka came back from the fountain. She saw all the grinning faces and blushed, as she got angry. She walked up to Shiroi and yelled at her. "What the hell were you thinking!! 'Oh why not? I think it will be cute.' You could have helped me out of that situation!" "Hey, don't yell at me! You're the wise guy that placed yourself in that position!!!" She glared at her friend. "And what was I suppose to say? 'No he's my boyfriend!' Please don't even go there." She exclaimed. "Hmph, whatever!" Ryka folded her arms. "Where is the idiot anyway?" Mishna grinned. "Why you miss your boyfriend?" "Shut UP!!! He is NOT my boyfriend!!! Why in the world would I want to go out with him? He is such an airhead, arrogant, egotistical---" Ryka started as she glared at her friends. "Nice," Shinjoku interrupted. "Nice---Shut UP! He is the most annoying person I have ever met! No way I would go out with him no way possible. And besides he's a year younger than me." Reiko grinned. "Looks like someone has a crush." She said slyly. "God, no!" Shiro said as he came back and stood away from Ryka. She turned to him with a dangerous glare. "Why did you do that!?" "Hey, you started it, you finish it." He yelled back. "And besides it was either tackled by five girls and being pulled around or you." "Yeah right!!! You knew you wanted too." Ryka spoke. "Hah, not even in your dreams." Shiro shot back. "And why on earth would I dream of you?" "And why would I want to kiss an older person?" "Who are you calling old Baka?" They stood there glaring at each other for a while before they turned their backs to each other and nose in the air. The group behind them roared in laughter. "That's rich." Satoki and Hiroshi said. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "Cruishiru." "Yes, Kaishiaru?" "The rest of the week will be dangerous for the group especially Shiroi. She's having doubts and shows a great deal of vulnerability towards Shimori. He will do anything in his power to turn that poor girl to his side. He will use her to kill each and every one of the Guardians and then the Queen King and Prince. Don't let it happen Cruishiru." "Yes, Kaishiaru." Cruishiru whispered. "Oh and Shiru, Shiroi will fight her mother let her fight." Cruishiru's eyes widen. "But-" She bowed. "Yes." She whispered and vanished. Kaishiaru sighed. "The city is almost gone. Hurry up Reiko, for the sake of your kingdom hurry up." She waved her hand in front of her and an image of Susaki laughing appeared. "My daughter, How I miss you." She sighed a sad smile as she continued to watch the woman inside the pool of reflection. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "That stupid fairy!" Shimori yelled as he walked down the path of the hallway. "I would have had her if it wasn't from that surprise attack!" He opened a door and walked in the beautiful room. "I have to get her away from them or I could find a spell and cast it on her right in front of they're eyes." He stopped and looked down at his twin sister's dead body that was lying in a casket. "My dear sister." He fell to his knees. "If you had patients you would be alive now, I will revenge your death. I'll kill Reiko but I'll start with her friends, and what else? Well, the person who will kill them will be one of their own. Isn't that sweet?" He asked the dead body. He began to cackle manically and turned to leave. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ In the forest the group made camp for the night. Cruishiru materialized in front of them and sat besides Midi. "Where did you go?" Shinjoku asked. "I was summoned, it looks like I'll be staying with you guys for a while. Don't worry though I won't bug any of you. I usually keep to myself so you won't notice I'm here." Cruishiru said as she took a bowl of soup from Susaki. "Why, do you need to stay?" Shiroi asked curiously. Cruishiru snapped her head towards Shiroi. "I----I---- I believe it's not for you to know." She stumbled with her words. "Well, that was discreet." Midi whispered as she rolled her eyes and took a sip from her soup. Cruishiru turned to glare at the grinning Midi. "Shut up or I swear I'll shove this knife," She grabbed the knife from Akira, who was holding it as he ate. "Up your jerk hole!!!" "Oh yeah, I like to see you try you little miss suck up! Or better yet, I'll shove this stick up yours!!!" Midi yelled as she picked up the stick. Midi and Cruishiru growled at each other. "Bitch." Cruishiru snarled. "Slut." Midi mocked. They both turned their backs to each other and resumed eating. Everyone around them developed a raindrop on the back of their heads as the blinked numerous times. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Later in the night, Shiroi sat at the edge of the pond in the forest. Her boots were by her side, her pants her rolled up and her feet dangled in the fresh water. "Shiro, he always got more attention than me. Mama prefers him to me. I feel so left out." Shiroi whispered to herself. She pondered, 'Do they even love me? Mother is sweet and kind but I don't feel her love. Father, he spoils me rotten but I can feel he's forcing himself to do it. Maybe I'm wrong.' She sighed. "Shiro, the idiot. Maybe they are showing it and I'm to blind to see it, but how can I tell if I don't know what love is.' Shiroi closed her eyes and sighed. "Why is Shimori after me? I thought he would be after Reiko." She wrinkled her nose as she said. "This guy is twisted beyond understanding." "What's wrong?" A voice asked from behind her. She saw Mishna's reflection on the surface of the water in front of them. "You okay?" She slowly shook her head no as she closed her eyes. "No," She whispered. "I was just thinking of something." She turned to him as she opened her eyes. "D-do you think mama hates me and wished I was never born?" "What?!" Mishna asked. The question caught him way off guard and surprised him a great deal. Shiroi sighed and turned back to face her reflection. "Never mind. It was a dumb question." "No, what did you say?" Mishna asked. He sat next to her and removed his boots, placing his feet into the water. "Forget it. You know I think Cruishiru-san is hiding something. Every time I ask her why she's staying she changes the topic." Shiroi sighed as she changed the topic. She bent over and rested her folded arms on her knees as she looked down at her reflection sadly. She slowly reached for the water and twirled her index finger in the water. Mishna looked at her confused she was acting so strange and he didn't know why. "Shiroi what's---" "Mishna, What's love?" Shiroi asked as she cupped water in her hand and brought it up. "What?" "What's love?" She repeated her question as she tilted her hand downwards and whatever was left of the water descended gracefully back among the rest of the water. "Love," Mishna whispered. He took his feet out of the water and brought it to his chest, hugging his knees. "Is a beautiful feeling that feels you with joy and warmth. When you give it to someone, they cherish it and protect it as if it was newborn baby. I don't know I can't really explain it." "Hmph, they never told me they loved me not---even once." She whispered. But Mishna heard her clearly. He looked at her. "My parents, actually no one said that to me. Shiro, I feel he gets all the attention---I have nothing against him, it's just that----just that, mama and papa prefers him to me." Shiroi closed her eyes not wanting the tears to escape. "Just, just forget about it." She drew in her legs out of the water and stood picking up her boots. "Forget we had this conversation." She ran back to the camp leaving a shocked Mishna behind. "Shiroi." He whispered. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Two days later Between the days passed, every time Mishna came near Shiroi to talk to her about what they talk about before she would turn away from him. Shiro had sensed his twin's feelings and talked to her but she wouldn't tell him anything. "Is everyone ready to go?" Hiroshi asked the group. They were moving to another location towards their destination. "Yeah, ready." The group chorused. "Aren't you forgetting something?" A deep voice called from behind the group. They all turned around to find Shimori standing there, by a tree. Before any of them could do anything he yelled out a spell and dark clouds circled Shiroi. She screamed over and over in fear as she shut her eyes closed. The group tried to get her out but they were only thrown violently to the ground by a great force. Shiroi wrapped her arms around her upper body as she felt herself being changed. "Mother!!!" She screamed helplessly. "Shiroi!!!" Kera got up from the floor and ran to her frightened daughter. Hiroshi quickly held her back fearing for her own safety. "Hiro let go!" "No, Kera. It's dangerous." "My daughter is in trouble let go!" "Kera!!!" He yelled at her. "She is my daughter too! I also want to help but right now there's nothing we can do." Shimori laughed hysterically as the clouds were absorbed into Shiroi's body. Her Lilac eyes took a strange black color. She stood up straight; her head fell low covering her face from their view. "Shiroi, you will obey my commands only. Do you understand?" Shiroi slowly raised her head up. They all gasped at what they saw. Her face that was so gentle was now replaced by evil. Her now black eyes radiated so much hatred and anger that it scared all of them. "Yes." She whispered. This was not the voice they used to hear all the time, not the same sweet soft voice but a twisted and cold voice. Tears sprang in Kera's eyes as she watched Shiroi. The gang all gathered around the parent and brother as they looked at Shiroi with sympathy and sadness. "Good," Shimori smiled proud that the spell worked. "Kill them, all of them." Shimori looked at Kera and grinned. "Starting with her." He disappeared. Her eyes flashed red and turned back to the strange black color. A sinister smile grew on her lips making her look even more evil. Shiroi parted her legs a little and nodded. Immediately Shiroi lunged at Kera and a dagger appeared in her hand. She swung it at her. Kera immediately jumped out of the way and landed behind her. Shiroi landed next to Hiroshi and Shiro crouching. She slowly stood up and eyed both of them before attacking Kera again. "What are we waiting for? Let's go." Shiro yelled. "No, it's not your fight!" Cruishiru said stopping them from running ahead. She stepped in front of them. "Sorry but you are not allowed to interrupt." Hiroshi became angry with her. "Who the hell do you think you are, telling us what's not our fight?" He growled. "You have no right to say or stop us." "I have all the right in the world." She sneered. "You'll not interferer with this fight. I am more powerful than you can even imagine. If you want to fight I'll be your opponent. Do you really want that?" Cruishiru spoke seriously. "I'm sorry, but this is what I was summoned for and I cannot allow you guys to interferer even if I wanted you to. Please accept my apology." They turned back to look at Shiroi battling her mother. Shiroi kept attacking but Kera refused to fight and only blocked, unfortunately, she couldn't block all of them. "Come on Shiroi. You're stronger than that spell. You can beat it." Hiroshi whispered. "Shiroi, mother." Shiro whispered as he looked at the fight. 'Shiroi, change back before it's too late. They do love you, Shi-chan. I love you.' Mishna said silently. Shiroi blasted Kera back, she screamed as she slammed into the ground. She tried to regain her breath as she tried to stand again; she almost fell down because of the fatigue but the desire to get her daughter back kept her from falling unconscious. She panted heavily. "Fight me!" Shiroi yelled angered. "Why don't you fight?" "I won't fight you, Shi-chan. You are my daughter, I won't fight you." Kera firmly spoke. "Huh, I really don't know why you call me your daughter.' She said as she looked at the surprise Kera. She shrugged. "You always preferred Shiro to me. Never even told me you love me, but then again I'm used to living in my brother's shadow." She glared at Kera. Everyone but Mishna looked surprised as a gasped escaped they lips. "That's not true!!! I love both of you equally Shi- chan. Would die for both of you." Kera whispered as tears gathered in her eyes from the pain her body was emitting and because of her daughter. "I'm sorry if you thought I didn't love you, but I do love you, Shi- chan please." "Save the pity talk for someone who cares. Good-bye mother!!!" Shiroi released a powerful energy ball that grew every passing second. Kera looked at the massive ball heading her way, panic struck her. Her mind yelling for her to get way but her body froze in terror. She shut her eyes closed and braced herself. "Kera get away!!!" Half of the group yelled "Shiroi stop it." The other half screamed Something in Shiroi snapped and before the ball hit Kera she stopped it. Her eyes flickered back to her normal ones. "Mother help me, plea," She said before the spell took over again. Kera raised her head as she opened her eyes and looked at Shiroi. "Shi-chan." She whispered, before she dodged one of Shiroi's punches. 'Mother help me' ran through her mind repeatedly as she tried to think of away to get her daughter back. "Will you just fight me?!" Shiroi screamed as she lashed out. "No!" Kera said as she jumped out of the way. "I had enough of this. Time to end this game." Shiroi spoke as she stopped. "Dark star…inferno!!!" She screamed in rage. Her hands brought up to face Kera. She twirled once and a black beam unleashed from her hands. Kera gathered her strength to leap out of the way of the attack that was heading for her in a fast speed. The beam bounces off a huge rock and headed for Shiroi. Shiroi surprised that her mother managed to jump out of the way in a blink of an eye didn't have the time to move as she realized her attack was coming right for her. She blocked her face with her arm in an 'x' position, waiting for the attack to hit. Kera scared for her daughter began to run literally like the wind. She pushed Shiroi out of the way right when it was about to hit her and took the hit herself. She felt her every part of her body burn as if she was surrounded by fire. She closed her eyes tight and screamed in agony. She fell to the ground motionless, and barely breathing. "Kera!!!" "Mother!!" Everyone yelled worried for their fallen friend and mother. Shiroi slowly stood up on her hands and knees, she shook her head as if to clear it. She looked up and saw her mother on the floor; She knelt there in shock, then suddenly her eyes started flickering; from lilac to black. She held herself as she bent over, her eyes closed as tears escaped from them. "Aaahhhhhhhhhh!" She screamed. They all watched something shot out of her body and disappeared. Shiroi collapsed tired and fell unconscious. "It's all over." Cruishiru whispered. She watched as they all ran towards the two fallen women. Hiroshi and Shiro checked on both Kera and Shiroi. Cruishiru looked up wards towards the sky, she sighed. 'Kaishiaru, it is done.' 'Good. They are both alright?' 'I don't know, Kera took a dangerous hit and Shiroi fell unconscious.' She closed her eyes. She no longer felt Kaishiaru's spirit around her and she sighed. 'When will this stop? When will all the suffering stop?' "When Shimory is defeated." Cruishiru snapped her eyes opened and looked at Midi surprised. She smiled a little and looked behind Midi. She saw Kera and Shiroi being taken care off. She looked back at Midi. "I wish…I wish none of this happened." She whispered. "Our parents, our planets, The City of Mishna, everything. I wish it all went back to the way it use to be." She broke down crying. Midi immediately went to comfort her. "It's ok Shiru. Everything will be fine----in time." Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long I got stuck once again. ^^;; So what's happening? Is the question that is probably running through your mind, right? Yea! You're also wondering how the hell Cruishiru and Midi are sisters, right? Well, you will have to wait! I know you love me. But that's about it. Bai!
