Kindred Spirits

Reunion

Like Shizuka, Shinimi is indeed a startling beauty. Shinimi has a lovely milky skin tone, yet it was her eyes which made the Princess stand out above all. For her eyes were a bloody crimson which took on a translucent hue when angered. Usually Shinimi wears a long flowing white and crimson kimono which is outlined in black as well. Giving the Princess a dark look about her.

The two sisters gazed upon each other. One's gaze filled with remorse and resolve to end these years and years of fighting. While the others gaze was filled with such darkness such rage it was surprising to those around them. For the darkness that spewed so much negativity Shizuka was surprised that the entire Kingdom was not coated in such dread and despair. For she had never seen such a concentration of negative energy. So fierce that Shizuka almost couldn't believe that her dear sister had even the slightest bit of divinity within her.

Shinimi stared at her sister. Laying eyes on her for the first time in years. And still looking at Shizuka's eyes filled with clarity Shinimi couldn't help but to feel her hatred boiling within her. How dare she come here? The source of her pain,did she come there to mock her? Shinimi allowed her crimson eyes to take their bloody dangerous glow. "Youve returned,Shizuka."Shinimi stated her words dripping with venom. Gritting her teeth Shinimi allowed the currupt divine aura to surround her entirely. Creating a shroud of darkness that of which even the "Queen of Celestials" had yet to see. She was no longer a Celestial Maiden. That was for sure. Now Shinimi appeared to be even more demon like. Or perhaps she could the first of them. The first of her kind. A Fallen Celestial Maiden who's negative emotions warped her mind a reason for living. Turning a once pure being to that which was tainted. A heavenly body now damaged by the humility and anger of man.

That was who she was. No more of that was what Shinimi had become. And why? All for power and the chance to have her sister's head on a pike. Standing tall Shizuka eyed her sister clad in a long towing white and crimson kimono which was outlined in black. My had Shinimi changed yes she was a strict and a tad abusive as they grew up. But she was never like this. So demented,so cynical. Was this truly Shizuka's elder sister? "I have,and I've come to stop you,sister."Shizuka declared earning the cheerful murmers of many Celestials but they we're immediately silenced by the rageful glare of Shinimi. "Stop me? From what?" Shinimi began as she gracefully walked slow circles around Shizuka and Sesshomaru whom already had his hand firmly on his blade. Prepared to strike down this demon woman before him if necessary.

"Claiming what's rightfully mine? My throne?!" Shinimi shouted angrily expecting Shizuka to cower before her,but she did not. Instead Shizuka spoke up to her sister daring her strike her if she dared. It was true that everyone was well aware of Shinimi's fall from grace. But they were not aware of how far she had indeed fallen. "The throne does not belong to you sister. Mother is the true ruler-" "Your as idiotic as ever,Shizuka."Shinimi began as ever so slowly Shinimi's body turned into nothing but a black smog which continued to cackle and linger in the air. "Your days are numbered sister. In three days time your blood will be spilt." Shinimi cackled manically as Sesshomaru swiftly sliced through her smog like body with his Tenseiga. Earning an audible scream from Shinimi whom was surprised at the sudden attack. She immediately eyed that blade in Sesshomaru's grip.knowing if she was to succeed in her plan that his weapon must be forced out of the equation.

"Over my dead body."Sesshomaru declared his voice a low and almost animalistic that it caused many Celestials to back away fearfully. Shizuka peered towards Sesshomaru who now stood before her,prepared to protect her from any and all treachery that was sure to unfold. "That can be managed,you filthy mongrel."Shinimi spat before her entire presence disappeared into the tainted air. Leaving Shizuka and Sesshomaru in the throne room surrounded by traumatized Celestials. Afraid of what Sesshomaru was capable of. After all he was a demon. Then again it was obvious that there was a demon in their midst all along.

Breaking the tension in the room,Shizuka stepped towards the throne. Where her mother sat,gaze fixed upon Shizuka and her new companion. Bowing before her mother Shizuka kept her head lowered. Feeling the overall presence of her mother. Someone she hadn't seen in what felt like a lifetime. "Mother, I have returned."Shizuka stated as she slowly rose her head to meet the azure orbs of the Queen.her mother. It was then that Shizuka was hit with the overwhelming love her mother still shared for her. And it was quite heartwarming. For a brief moment Shizuka wished she could share her most treasured secret but the fear of being rejected was far too strong. The Mother of Celestials couldn't help but to smile at her daughter despite the current situation.

"Welcome home, my daughter."The Mother of Celestials greeted her voice echoing throughout the hollow hallways where many Celestials remained silent. Wishing to see what their Queen had in store for her traitorous daughter,and the daughter that had returned with a demon by her side.
