In Search of a lost Flame (Private)

The winds were flowing strongly as Miaka dragged her Younger brother with her. She had become quite hopeful that she may find see her sister Sherri after being separated for what was now what felt like a lifetime. Miaka had done a lot of information gathering in order to figure out where her twin might be and for once she felt as she could finally feel her close by. She listened to the whispers of the wind and leaves when they rustled. She was on guard in case of a hollow attack but she noted that the winds might be a little too strong to use her flames and that her crystals will make due in case something came up. Miaka grew annoyed as they continued walking while she dragged yoma who wasn't willing to come alone and had been complaining the entire way. She was trying to control herself and restrain herself as she didn't want any more harm to come her family but she was ready to lose it and give yoma a pounding. She had lost her sister once because of her fault she didn't to lose anyone else again so she kept herself quiet and restrained.

She then looked back at Tsui who seemed to be following with no problems this time. She was curious what he was up it was strange he wasn't trying to run away or to be lazy. She wondered what was up with him or did he finally learn that he won't be running away from this. She wanted the family to be reunited so he must come.

"So Tsui What do you have planned? i have two idiots idiots to deal with this whinning idiot and you but right now i'm not sure what you have planned but you better not be planning to cause trouble."

It was within this small clearing in the woods that the girl sat, holding the man down. Burns covered the man's naked body, and her had a fearful look on his face. Matted black hair streamed down over his face, once upon a time he might have been a really handsome person, but no longer. The weeks in torment had changed all that, and he made another attempt to escape.

"Now, now, do I have to burn you again? We don't want that, do we?"

The girl, lovely purple hair framing her face, pulled a blade from the ground. Black fire covered it, and as she brought it close, the man stopped moving, sheer terror flooding through him. Smiling, the woman placed the sword off to the side, taking off her black tee shirt in one smooth motion. Seeing that the lady had placed her sword down, the man opened his mouth, speaking with all his courage.

"You foul little bitch! Someone's going to find out about this and lock you up you know!"

Suddenly, the female's face filled with anger. She picked up her sword, the mask forming on her face, from her chin to her hairline. Her spiritual pressure flew out to its fullest, no longer did she try to hide her own power, now she let everyone around know where she was. It felt burning hot and evil, her anger becoming killing intent. Her sword flew down, cleaving the man in two, his whole body consumed by the flames.

"AAAARRRGGGHHHH"

She swung her sword randomly back and forth, and with each swing black flames flew off, shaped in the maw of a wolf. Anger, frustration, sadness, it all flowed through her, maddening emotions turning her in to a raging maniac.

Yoma was being dragged by the one who claimed to be his sister. He was still confused about his connections with the two people he was traveling with one of them was Miaka and she claimed to be his sister and a male who's name was Tsui seemed to be his brother. He wasn't sure if they were lying or not as he couldn't remember them or if he really did have any family but Miaka was sure mean. She was dragging him by his shirt collar in search of another of their siblings. They were looking for someone by the name of sherri. Tsui had given off the feeling before it seemed that he didn't want to come but from miaka held some sort of power that made him come along. Yoma had been constantly protesting that he didn't want to come along and struggled multiple times to escape. He had managed to escape the grasp of his sister a few times and ran a way but she would constantly hit him hard enough that all the air would leave his body and couldn't breathe for a few minutes. She would then drag him by the collar again and drag him much more roughly. It seemed she wasn't in the mood to be playing any games and that he had to listen to her or he would suffer the punishment she had in store for him. This all must have seemed like entertainment in tsui's view. Yoma would then continue shouting and complaining to be let go and to just leave him to do what he wished. He would continue to be dragged with no one giving a dime to him.

tsui trod through these plains, it was odd that he was actually out here, hell usually his sister could handle recruitment and retrieval alone. But right now he knew that things could go down a whole different way to what his little sister expected. For a long time Tsui had been around doing the work his grandfather had left to him, it was how things went after all. This matter was different though, it wasn't going to be nearly as simple as walking up to miaka and telling her of her heritage or searching the soul society for his little brother yoma... no this was different. Tsui had heard for a long time about a girl with the ability of "black" fire, he knew from the start this was probably a sibling of his but as time went on the stories he heard were much different to his little baby sister whom he had nothing but love for.

As he continued to walk ahead that smile brimming with the thoughts hidden beneath he looked up to his little family. Miaka and Yoma seemed to be fighting again, the 2 really did make a good mix, Yoma would squirm and Miaka would bonk him till he stop running. That was truly the Miaka thing to do, even as a small kid she was a bit rambunctious always trying to be a leader despite her being younger than Tsui. Though the distractions of old days were soon lost at the words of his little sister. Tsui had long known what coming here meant and finding the girl who had become a member of the long running monsuta meant too. though he never really wanted to admit it...

Me? planning something Mia? ya know im to dumb to contemplate ideas, i just thought a nice walk might be fun. And hell i get ta spend the day with my new favorite little brother.

At that moment Tsui had moved up next to miaka and Yoma as if a flash, thus was the way with Tsui the man was still monstrous within speed and could still prove it. Without another word he wrapped his arm round Yomas neck bringing him in as he gave the kid a small nookie. but within that second a spike within spiritual pressure could easily be felt to all. As tsui walked his smiling face to the ridge overlooking the are bellow he looked over to Miaka. Bellow them sat a girl masked as a hollow and burning someone with her black fire the purple hair freely flowing it the wind. In that second he let go of Yoma letting him stand there as he wished, hell if the boy ran there was no way he'd get away from Tsui ... and anyway he had to see this. Sitting on the small cliff, small enough to jump down off in fact and be not 20 m from the girl he spoke.

From the descriptions i was able to find that's our girl. After you little sister, then you Yoma after all we don't want ya to miss the excitement.

Finally giving up she pounded yoma once more to make sure he learned his lesson but continued her conversation with Tsui as they continued walking. He accepted the fact that he was an idiot but stated he wasn't up to anything. Tsui was now dragging yoma with his arm around his neck and which now relaxed her that she didn't have to keep dealing with him. They made it to the edge of the cliff and spotted a figure who seemed to match the information they gathered. She felt the strange she felt before but it was much stronger she looked at the one who happened to be her twin. She was left speechless she could confirm just by this feeling this was sherri. Even if she had changed miaka knew it was her. She quickly dropped yoma down the cliff and jumped down and rushed over to her twin. her twin had changed they no longer looked similar to one another. she seemed dramatically different. There seemed to be a burnt corpse what had happened to her and did she do this? this is what came to miaka's mind. The burn on the body could have only been caused by her there was no one else in the area that could have caused this. Everything else miaka ignored from her sister all she could think of
was seeing her once more.
"Sherri Is that you? Its you isn't it? Can you tell me what happened here?"

Tears were coming down her face finally she got to see her sister again it had been so long since she had seen her. She had blamed herself for what had caused her death all those years ago. she couldn't control herself and wrapped her arms around her sister and held on to her tightly. Tears continued to flow as if they were an endless waterfall that was continually flooded.

As the newcomer wrapped her in a hug, Sherri let out a growling noise. Her sword arm came up, then started downward towards the girl's back. Half the way through the swing, the blade stopped, held a few inches from striking her. She froze, as if two beings were fighting within her, one attempting to strike, the other holding her back from striking. She dropped her blade, the sword clattering to the ground. Both her hands grabbed at her head, a high pitched scream of pain coming from beneath the mask on her face. The screaming continued as memories came flowing back to her, the damage she had sustained from her hollowfication reversing. Her body wouldn't change, but her mind was, and for a couple moments, she screamed, waiting for the pain to disappear. Then the pain left, Sherri panting as her knees buckled. She looked up at her sister, her twin, a smile forming on her face as she got a second whiff of her powers, the flames that all Yazaki members had. Weakly, she raised her hand, brushing softly against Miaka's cheek. Her voice came out, soft and weak as she spoke to her twin sister.

"Miaka... your flames... they smell lovely..."

No longer did her voice sound like a combination of her voice and her inner hollow's voice, just her own, natural voice could be heard. Sherri could smell other flames nearby, but barely. For now, the only flame affecting her was Miaka's, the beautiful smell of Miaka's powers. Even without her hollow having any control over her thought process, she wanted to raise her head, lick at Miaka's skin, taste the flames that smelled so lovely. She held herself back, she couldn't do that, for that wasn't the right thing to do. Now that she had regained her senses she would need to make amends for the actions she had taken in the recent years.

Yoma felt like a rag doll being tossed around and crushed by his siblings.tsui seemed to have a playful demenor when grabbing him and wrapping his arm around yoma's regular sized neck. this really annoyed him but there was nothing he could do about it. Miaka would be much harsher towards him and possibly do more harm to him. Both of miaka and tsui seemed to have stopped at the end of the cliff to stare at some girl yoma guessed that this could be his elder sister they continued to talk about constantly. she seemed strange and also appered to have burnt the corpe of a once well human right in front of her. this frightened yoma especially the feeling he got from her so he want to keep his distance unexpectently he was dropped of the cliff and landed on his back. it had caused him a lot of pain but it gave him a reason to stay away. he was surprised to see miaka heading towards that monster like nothing. did she not feel the wave and intent that came fron her? Yoma had prepaired to make new plans to flee and escape the grasp of his so called family. No memories meant that he could claim they were crazy or wrong. it difficult to find families with in the soul socitey so this gave him a vaild stand point to prove they were wrong.

the tortured soul, a child yearing for someone to reach out and grab them ..... im sorry.
Tsui stood watching the 2 of his siblings fall down this cliff face, it was understandable to see Miaka like this, her and sherri did everything together when they were little. The baby twins, what a sight it was to see for Tsui, his family bellow finally reunited. Though he hadn't seen them all for so long, hell since they were mere toddlers and in yomas case a baby, but it brought joy to his heart all the same. and it was this joy that almost made the man near break into tears about what must come next. She spoke as if she was just waking up from a deep trance, a girl who finally embraced her sister as they hugged, at this point Tsui couldn't help but look to Yoma making sure the boy was here for this..... he had to be. And as the brimming trembling smile soon dropped Tsui wasn't going to ignore what had just happened

Sherri Yazaki, you have committed crimes against humanity and misused the flames we call sacred. For this you shall receive no mercy, prepare.

The heat had intensified within almost an instant, the area around them was hot ... indescribably hot. The heat exuded from Tsui his hands clenched and no longer a smile on his face but a true frown. With a small step he had almost "jumped" the entire distance to stand in front of Sherri and sit beside miaka within only a mere second. The mans extremely long zanbatou sat within its sheath in the mans hand and with a small flick he shot the hilt out of the sheath into miakas ribs with enough strength to send her flying into the cliff face. not enough effort to really hurt her, but he needed room for what was to come next and knew he didn't want his little baby sister to be near this. The blade of the zanbatou sat on sherris neck as Tsui spoke, this girl would do well to listen too.

You have killed a man in cold blood, burnt his body to a char and within your time in the "monsuta" have done things to make you a criminal of even the gotei 13. give me one reason not to kill you right now ?

Tsui would stare into her eyes, the usual demener of the man was quite exceptionally kind, but at this moment he was doing his duty as a protector of the Yazakis and as an elder brother. He hated this, to his own little sister too, the girl who at a young age he'd give piggy backs too, the same girl he checked room for monsters at night for her. he wanted the answer and as the heat increased to horrific levels even melting some of the landscape, he expected to get them.

Miaka had forgotten her original reason her and Tsui came to search for Sherri in the first place. Both of them were in charge of maintaining the family and to retain the honor of it. Because the disappearance of their grandfather they were required to have a much stricter policy towards any incidents within the family. They were also required to search for any possible Yazaki member and allow those who had lost their families or were permanently separated become part of this one and becoming a Yazaki. They were responsible of maintaining the code of their family. Sherri had been misusing the Yazaki Flames and for that there was a price to pay. Miaka could not allow the expected punishment to take place. She was suffering from the guilt of the past which caused the loss of Sherri. It was all her fault that day. She had been conflicted at the task of punishing her that she alienated her task. Her guilt ate away at her. It was her fault for the death and she was one the one who had to make up for it.

She had been forcefully knocked away from Sherri as Tsui continued with the punishment. The blow given to her by Tsui had very powerful as she had been knocked back into the cliff but it had no effect on her. Even now Tsui didn't want to harm her and held back but was prepared to punish Sherri with all his strength. Miaka quickly got up and looked at what was going on, the heat with in the area had quickly risen and the blade was at the neck of Tsui's target, Sherri. Miaka had to stop him she was the only one who could do anything right now. She felt Yoma's presents so that she knew he was alright. She quickly unsheathed her Zanpakutō and quickly used a flash step to quickly appear in front of Tsui and hold of him off to protect Sherri.

Miaka was starting to release her heat from her body and at conflict with Tsui. She knew this was against what they have to stand up for but she had to allow herself to break this once to protect Sherri.

"Stop Tsui we can not do this! Please there must be something we can do! Please if you do not back off now I will fight you right here right now. Sherri is our sister she died a long time ago and we are finally together. DO NOT FORGET THAT WE STILL NEED TO FIND THE TRUE MEMBERS OF THE YAZAKI AND ALLOW THE FAMILY TO EXPAND!!! WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO KILL ONE OFF!"

A river flowed down the pale round face, Miaka cried as she prepared for the worst. The strength she contained was nothing compared to Tsui but she was going to stop Tsui if she had to.

As Miaka was knocked away, the smell of her flames left Sherri's nose. Replacing it was the smell of Tsui's flame, one whiff of it affecting her. Fear filled her to the brim, her face filled with fear. Her body shook as extreme fear took hold of her, her eyes unable to break away from Tsui's face, held in place by fear. Then Miaka was back, and her flames once again reached Sherri's nose. Her body sagged as she returned to normal, no longer affected by Tsui's flame. However, she couldn't let Miaka get in a fight with Tsui over this. She reached out, placing her hand on Miaka's shoulder, and pulled her out of the way, a steady hand guiding her to stand or sit next to her, a sad smile on her face. Then she looked up at Tsui, responding to his question as the hollow mask disappeared from her face.

"Tsui Yazaki, I wish I could give you a reason to spare my life, but there is no excuse for my actions. I have killed people for no reason, and abused the Yazaki flames granted to me. However, before I die, can you grant me the following two wishes? My first wish is to see my brother Yoma."

She sniffed around, able to smell another flame nearby. Raising her voice, she called out.

"He's over near that cliff, isn't he? Please come here Yoma Yazaki."

Then her voice lowered, and she addressed Tsui again.

"My only other wish is that you let Miaka be next to me until the very end. Please, I want to be myself until the very end."

She looked up at Tsui, tears streaming from her eyes, begging him to fulfill these two wishes for her.
