A Long Period of Waiting of Several Months

A collection of short stories

Hikaro

They were out there. He could hear them moving around. He could feel
them too. At least part of him could feel them. Their life forces were
so small and pointless. Still they were good practice, and even a little
life force could be used as kindling to start a fire. If it weren't for
the human attachment he felt for his parents he could have used them.
NO! That was wrong. Parents were not to be used. There was a
reason. There had to be, he just couldn't think of it right now. Two
crawled out from under the door and headed strait for the plate in the
middle of the room. Cockroaches. They easily over came their suspicion
of him when faced with the odor of cooling food. He closed his eyes and
reached out for the book.
His parents would be quicker. They would provide enough energy to go
after Saotome. NO! Fine then the roaches. He let the power swell up in
him, when it felt like he was about to burst, he let a tendril of it
sneak its way down the bed and toward the cockroaches. It wound its way
toward them like a serpent, then as the thrill of its undetected approach
peaked...
crunch...crack
The life forces flowed up the tendril and into him. Their taste was
sweet. Like honey, like raw sugar . . . his parents would be much
sweeter. Oh yes, the taste of a human soul was SO sweet...
NO!!
YES! A real sorcerer would not delay in gaining power through any
channel.
Morphine didn't.
Morphine was an accident. He wasn't a sorcerer. He was a hedge mage
playing at true power.
I will not kill anyone.
Not even Saotome?
Hikaro closed his eyes, Saotome...
-------------------------------------
Saotome......he was the cause of all this trouble....if it hadn't
been for him Akane would have gone out with him for sure. She would have
fallen in love with him.. . ...Saotome . ...
The flakes of blood and ashes swirled around like demonic TV static.
Somewhere out in that dark place his hatred moved. Huge, bloated and
slow. Still it could move. Like a boulder, it was slow to start, but
given momentum it could crush anything in front of it.
...saotome....
He grinned like a mad man, his hatred found a voice.
. .Saotome....
Direction.
. ...SAOTOME!!!!
Momentum. The demon snow whipped around him as though in a great
wind. Each flake different. Each a different life. What would a human
look like?
There was something else out there. Something...He didn't know what
it was. It was old. He knew that. Very old. He could smell the smell
of age. What ever it was it was waiting. Just out of sight. He just
knew it was there. What was it waiting for?
SAAAAOOOOTOOOMEEEE
Out there in the growing storm his hatred was raging. It was starting
to worry him. What If he couldn't control that anger. What if he
couldn't draw up power when he was that mad...
NO FEAR. YOU WILL HAVE ALL THE POWER YOU REQUIRE.
Who are you?
I AM THE LAST THING ALL MEN KNOW.
I don't understand.
YOU WILL.
When?
SOON. YOUR ANGER WILL BURN IN YOU LIKE A FLAME.
Then I'll defeat Saotome!
YES. AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND.
Nothing can stop me!
MUCH LIKE A FLAME IN A WIND.
What?
It was gone. . . . no it was still there. Waiting.
Saotome....I'll kill you....I'll murder your soul....
His anger would be like a flame in the wind?
Saotome. ... .I'm coming.. .. your going to. . . .die. . . .. .I'll
His hatred thrashed around in the void.
tear your soul out.. .. ...I'll kill you . ... .....Saotome....you can't
Seeking a target.
hide. . ......its too late...Akane is mine. . . ....she is mine. . .
Finding none.
..... ..you bastard....you can't stop me. . . ...I'm immortal now . ... .
It was like a beast.
....Saotome . . . ...your . ..dead . .. . . . .and you don't even know it...
Trapped in a cage.
. ...I'm coming for.... . .you . . .and ...I'm going to.... ...kill everyone
He felt the power begin to fill him up, then there was a release a massive
release...then the pure sweetness began to fill him. So much sweetness.
....you know.... ...and then I'll...rape your dead fiancee's corpse...
There was a picture in his mind of the Tendo Dojo. Akane at the TV. Ranma
in the training hall. Time and space lost themselves for an instant.
"Saotome....I'm here...."
