Dawn Chapter. 4 The Crack :

" What do you mean by a crack ??.. was there a problem in our family long ago ??..", the young man asked to an adult woman who still looked beautiful In her starting twilight age, the woman has short hair with a sharp yet beautiful eyes, so charismatic yet little bossy, everyone would realized it even if they see her for the first time. She is one of the Asou core family member. A twenty-nine years old princess.. Misaki Asou.

" Oh my.. it's enough.. I just come back and don't have any chance to rest yet you asked me about nonsense thing like that ??..", Misaki said as she sit on the sofa, looked so tired. The man who is younger one, looked so handsome with the face almost same with Misaki's, the only thing which made it different is Misaki is a woman and he is a man. still glaring at her, the man waiting for another answer before Misaki took a deep breath and said again; " Alright.. just sit down and stop glare at me like that, I will tell you what I knew..", The man smiled now, followed his only auntie to sit down and ready to hear the story.

" Well.. as you know..", Misaki started her story, " Our family became famous because one of our ancestor named Dr. Kunihikou Asou created a camera which could allow it's wielder to feel, see, and catch spirits, he named his invention " Camera Obscura ", but not many people know he wasn't alone when he created that thing..", Suddenly the man cut the story as he said; " My dear auntie, I knew already that Kunihikou old man have many staff when he create the obscura, but what I want to know is about Amakura family, I just ever heard it before but I forgot already when I hear it.. so just tell me the point,".

Misaki took a deep breath once again as she closed her eyes said; " Well.. just hear what I will say Kyou.. or you will make me lose my mood and I will prefer take some bath before sleep, to tell you the truth, I am tired now..", the man who Misaki called Kyou replied lazily; " alright.. alright.. continue then..", Well, do you know the reason why our family had divided by two ??.. Misaki asked, didn't give any chance to Kyou to answer she continued; Kunihikou Asou had a younger brother who always helped him to invent the camera, his name is Yahiko Asou, together they made the Obscura's Prototype as they called "Ichi-Shaeiki", or maybe we just called it the first Obscura. But the problem started from here.

" What had happened ??.. Kyou asked curiously, Misaki looked thinking about something for a while before she started her story again; " They have different ideas about how to developed more excellent and perfect Obscura, At that time, Kunihiko Asou seems too obsessed with the camera function, he was trying to make a perfect and strongest Obscura without think about the side effect for the wielder, and Yahiko didn't agree with this, though He lost influence against his elder brother for the staff and other family member and because of that, Yahiko and his ancestor considered as Asou branch family which different with us who considered as core family because we are directly from Kunihikou Asou's line.

In the end Kunihikou Asou managed to make his dream become true, his stronger Obscura named " Heaven Obscura ". The Camera with the strongest exorcise effect. Like the one you holding now , the wielder don't need any film in order to operate it, but for the price, the wielder will become overexposure easily, it will take the wielder's spiritual power and ultimately kill it's owner. Kyou looked enjoying the story as he commented; " well.. the one I holding right now was called " The Hellish Obscura".. Surely there was a link between them .." Misaki Nodded as she answered; " Aware with this, Yahiko stole the camera, modified it and entrusted it to one of his best friend, I don't really know what his best friend's name was, but I ever heard it that his family name was Asakura and it said they family has strong sixth sense equal with our family.

" I see..", Kyou said, so when this " Amakura person appear in the story ??.. " His real name is Misao Asou..", Misaki said. " I don't know very much about him but it said he was the one who knew where the " Heaven Obscura " being hid, but rather to tell us, he hid himself somewhere in japan, Ultimately we found out that he married with a woman from Amakura family, our family managed to find them just for get another problem, he was dead, and rumors said he was spirited away to the Lost Village; one of the urban legend which famous in the area his family stayed.

" well.. thats all what I know.. satisfied ??.. ", Misaki asked as Kyou replied her with just a smile; " could you prove it that your story was true ??.. He asked back. Misaki laughed said; " Nice question, I just heard it from my father long time ago, , about the story whenever it was true or not, I don't now and don't really care..", Misaki yawned, stand up as he took her bag, stared at Kyou said; " well.. I want to rest now, still I need to take a bath, don't disturb me okay..", Kyou stand up asked her one more time; " My last question auntie, would you tell me what was the purpose that Kunihikou created " Hellish Obscura "..??..

Misaki glared at him lazily as she answered it with her lazy way too said; " I don't really know.. it said that was Kunihikou Asou next dream after Yahiko stole his first perfect invention, That Kunihikou guy may thought that one day Yahiko would back and challenge him with the camera, so Hellish Obscura created for that day, but it just my thought.. they said both of them like competed each other. You never use it right ??..", Misaki asked Kyou as her voice sounded more seriously now. Kyou smiled said; " Don't worry.. I will never take a risk to use that cursed thing, Thanks.. I will try to find more about this Amakura family..". after Kyou ended his words, he said goodbye before opened the double door in front of him and went out from the house.

Misaki still standing there, looked at a door that Kyou opened before, she looked thinking about something once again, Misaki didn't know why but she felt something bad will happen, the problem is.. her thought almost become true.. " Looks like I need to go back to Rougetsu Island once again.. " Lunar Obscura ".. I must take it from Ruka..".. as misaki said that, she gone to her room.
