Act IV
The blue demon
O-hatsu
"No, I didn't say that!" I said very flushed at the same time denying all possible gestures. I glanced at Roberto. The truth is that he was good-looking, something I had not noticed before, but was not the time to look at that. I took a break and sat down next to Tenkai, and I remembered everything I had lived through that time "I was Hideyasu friend from childhood, and sister of Hideyoshi's concubine..." My eyes began to moisten, recently my sister Cha Cha committed suicide with his son because of problems with the mandate. I feel the hand of Tenkai rub my back, refreshed. He has always been like a father to us, someone you can trust and who could provide solutions to complex problems.
"Are you going to continue?" I heard insist that the young and inexperienced daughter of Roberto. Despite having some physical resemblance to him was a bit impatient; something that really was not her father.
"Yes, yes, excuse me" I said lowering my head slightly.
"Don't worry Ohatsu. It's normal to yourself, your sister committed Seppuku, and something stronger for you" Jubei consoled me.
I looked at Tadataka who made me a gesture of denial with the head. He didn't want to continue, because he knew I was going to do damage. I breathe deeply and continued, "Jubei and Hideyasu continued in their quest to know what want Hideyoshi, as I blindly thought it was all for good, but it was obvious that it was not. Hideyoshi, in addition to Yodo, my sister, had Mitsunari Ishida, Yagyu Munenori and Luis Frois, Roberto's adoptive father. These people had links with Genma. Mitsunari and Luis recommended to Hideyoshi movements to do, like plant Genma trees over the Edo, to ensure more power.
"Turn back to me" I heard Tenkai interrupting "Soki and Jubei several people were looking for Hideyoshi's palace. Unfortunately, both fell into a trap, but managed to meet me ..."
"Yes, after you beat me" Jubei interrupts rather annoying.
"That is history" Tenkai is defended giggling "After I almost won, and then fight a giant Genma, we went to the house where they were Soki, Jubei and Minokichi refugees. There I told them about ..."
"my father?" I put my hand to the face when I listening to Diana for the fourth time. In that, I look that Roberto stands up a bit annoying. Takes her from the right arm and ordered her to sit. The girl is due immediately.
"Stop, stop! Are you happy now?" I said a little "I think I should tell myself. Tenkai, if I remember correctly, you were the one who knew of my existence right?" He asked to Tenkai watching him with his deep blue eyes.
"Exactly" He answered with a smile.
"Perfect. At that time, they had me locked in a dungeon. Why? I'm the son of a Spanish who had strange powers, do not know yet if they have to do with Oni, but the question at that time was that my adoptive father, Luis Frois, killed everyone I know, doing experiments. Suddenly discovered the strange power I have in my arms, which called it a treasure. I kept getting locked up as a laboratory to me... A post-mortem.
I see that the blonde girl stands exalted "An autopsy! What power!"
"Yes ... A live autopsy."
Yes, it was monstrous that this gentleman wanted to let his own son. But we now know that was under the control of Genma.
"My power ..." Roberto begins to unbutton his waistcoat of his suit, burgundy suit, western. I blushed a bit when he saw that he was shedding his white shirt, exposing her perfect body, well shaped tattoos on their arms, surrounding everything. He sighed and threw his shirt to the floor "I can kill things with my own hands ... Everything, my fists can be much more deadly than any cannonball."
I looked at the girl who was stunned. It was proven that he knew nothing about it, turning back to Roberto who watched his own hands, and immediately completely naked, putting on gloves for Oni, of the many who had gotten when I was younger.
"I think I have part of my coat in the temple. No more would do a renovation" said while clutching a Gi who was on the boxes. He put it, and really was very good "Well, continuing" He rang the bones of his hands, noticed that they had many years without being used as a weapon "Actually, these people were owned by Genma. Soki in fact, was the reincarnation of the god of Darkness, who should deal with Fortinbras, the God of Light. Yodo, Mitsunari and Luis were actually Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Cladius, three Genma calling themselves the Triumvirate. After seven days of continuous battles, Soki finally faced Hideyoshi. The latter died, but the king snake was still alive. Munenori took it with his hands and when the star was descending on the earth, and thus was born Fortinbras. After we did not know much of what happened after fight with Fortinbras. But as Jubei, Soki died, divided into thousands of stars."
"How complex" Diana said, when she finished to listen all "So, now are those shadows, as you say, threatening the Earth?"
"Yes" I said while I got up, and I went to the window of the temple "Hideyasu sacrificed his life in vain..."
"I don't think so" I heard the young monk who had not uttered a word "My name is Okibu. Sorry if I had not been presented before, is that I wanted to listen carefully to the whole story. There are many details not told me the Master Arin."
"No, certainly Arin told you from the Hideyoshi... But anyway" I sat down again "We should get some rest before a plan. You have to get energy."
We had all gone to rest. Already well into the night, but slept all afternoon, did not say much sleep. I get for a moment outside the Temple, and find Roberto sitting on the stairs of the entrance. I approach him slowly.
"Is something wrong, Roberto?" I sat next to him. The size difference was incredible.
"No, nothing. Well, yes" He replied in confusion "I don't know what to do with Diana...She keep now, should know that she are with us and would be too dangerous to return to Spain."
"I understand... I guess she was raised as a normal girl, right?"
"Yes... I thought if anything would happen, that everything would be peaceful, but… No! They have to appear Genma, and willing to turn to a wretched existence, as they did before. I don't want anything bad happen to her, I would die." He hid his face in his hands. Actually I was a little shocked, because he was not very expressive, now it was different... I heard was sobbing, crying, I could not help but feel bad to see it. I hugged him to confort a Little bit.
"Now calm down, everything will be fine. We're all in this together, we're a team" I said trying to comfort him, to hear his crying constantly, I looked in doubt "And your wife? Why Diana didn't stay there with her?"
Automatically he lifted and moved away as he could back to me... "My wife died ten years ago."
I wanted to disappear in that moment that I felt uncomfortable, "I'm sorry ... I ..." I said something broken. He looks and turned to me.
"I suppose you miss Soki." He said something resigned. Wait, resigned? Was he waiting to tell him anything negative about that?
"Yes," I said as my eyes bent "He was someone very special in my life.
"I see... I'll go to sleep again. I'm tired" Come next to me. Suddenly I hear something on the ceiling. Tadataka was who was watching.
"What happened mother? " He asked with some curiosity.
"Nothing. I was just watching the night. You should go; it's not well to being cold."
"This moment is not to be aware if someone gets a cold or not" he said while watching his arch "I'll watch a little here. You never know what you can find... Wait."
"What?" I stopped my entry into the temple.
"And that pile of butterflies that are crossing the sky?" He points to the sky, where thousands of butterflies are flying, cruising in it.
"I... I don't know" I said something strangely "Come on; can be dangerous for you stay here.
He immediately lowers the ceiling, running in front of me "Okay mother."
I knew that tomorrow would be a long day.
