VI The saint family.
So after she was born her parents realized what was going to become of them and their descendants, that their new plan was actually old and they didn't met by chance. Vishnu had this thought up long ago, it was him who left the book open for Hakimah to read, him who made the connections with the Tengu and the Turkish prince. Him who trained and educated Narada and him who made Narada hear about the Aka mount hermit. They were the very best humanity had to offer, the Imam and a saint at the edge of transcendence, Vishnu had made sure the right people were placed in the right places. Waiting for centuries all to get this; The Hakurei family.
Nadara accepted being called Hakurei too and embraced the name with no complains. He was the one who spoke to the humans in the village nearing the youkai lands, his words were not as disastrous as his wife's instead they were musical and soothing. He could gather crowds and fill them with his teachings too beautiful to ignore, then it was up to them to be learned, he could force them but that wasn't his style. Hakimah Hakurei was her name once humans around could pronounce her name, or at least their attempts were less monstrous. She kept on speaking to youkai since his husband's words were too soft for youkai, there were even youkai with abilities like his own. Both evened each other out and they were absolutely different from one another.
Hakimah in one hand was militant and though when it was needed, not doubting about sparing violence when the time needed it so. Narada was more pacifist and tried to solve everything in such a way any person at all would be hurt. Both did not agree with each other's methods but since both worked in one side but failed in the other, respected them.
Himiko was born a few years after their marriage. She presented many skills from the parents that were impossible to be inherited. She was a holy human like them, an attendant of god like them just at birth, something they were too but that is impossible to be passed down through blood, until then it was. Hakurei became the first and only bloodline where their genes carried a holy character in them, every member of that family would be set in part of a bigger plan.
She grew up to be smart and peaceful though when provoked she could be extremely violent much like her mother. The book of the Hundredth name was not needed anymore, the teachings of a Hakurei passed down by words would fulfill the same purpose, and like Hakimah when the time was ripe they would fully understand them. Hakurei Himiko, liked by both humans and youkai and feared by them too though she proved to tend to be more pacific, the flesh of a saint was hard to batter and so she could take on a few hits and calm her enemies down so that they would listen and solve things in a civilized manner. Only when it was very needed she prove to be just like her mother on those lines.
Himiko could use words too to freeze her enemies and call out purifying words to destroy dark beings. It was her flaw, if the attacker was not evil she would not be able to stop it at all, and she new that the world was not so simple that just evil beings would be her enemies, many times those who are against you are not evil either they just base their thoughts under different ideas.
Thus Morichika and his wife made a special orb from a heavenly crystal they had held onto. It was a piece of the very same rock Sun Wukong was born many many years ago and the stone could store energy better than any battery that would ever be made. Morichika Marisa knew how to turn information into energy so she stored all the memories of the three into the orb, it would do so for every Hakurei turning more powerful every generation. Morichika added each of the elements that made up this world into the orb, for it to work he had to use the purest form of such elements and coat the orb with it. The orb ended up having two colors from the eight elements, earth and fire dominated one side that turned black, heaven light and thunder colored the other side white.
The orb was the primary weapon of Himiko, it could attack any being against a Hakurei not mattering either it was pure good or pure evil. It wasn't the first weapon that was handed to her, the first attempt of Kourindou and Marisa was a mini magical generator. They copied the design from old temples where they had energy containers of big sizes, each side would store one type of energy, the one that made up the hold world. A bagua turned into a weapon and it could fulfill the same purpose. But to Himiko that weapon was way too inelegant and crude to use.
The orb was their second weapon battery attempt and it received a better welcome than the mini hakkero. The Morichika family held the Hakurei one very dear, and so they handed their daughter the orb when she turned twelve. The stone had been activated with the blood of Hakimah and so it would act as a rock to any other but a member of the Hakurei bloodline. It was very easy to do so, the blood of the Imam made it even easy to activate such an artifact and the safe mechanism was a byproduct of its activation which turned out to be a good feature too.
When Himiko turned twenty the Morichika family had a child, she even made the seals for the Morichika shop to keep flesh eating youkai off. Morichika Rinnosuke, when he was born he opened his eyes and looked at the world the same way an adult did, analyzing. When he grew up to be old enough to speak everyone realized he could tell the use of any object that he looked at. He was calm when Hakimah went to pay her respects but got frightened when he looked at the book she always held. The orb was just as intimidating to him as the book.
The two families expended much time together, Himiko even took care of Rinnosuke when his parents had to leave to run errands teaching him many things about the ways not the world worked, but gods behaved. Which gave him a deeper understanding about their ways and even made him capable of later on finding weaknesses on them. He understood how the orb worked and that it would attack any youkai who tried to use it, behave like a rock to humans, he was not brave enough to see what would happen if a half youkai touched it.
During those times of peace it was when they met an odd lady named Yakumo Yukari, behind her there was always a fox who was treated by her the very same way one would treat a child. Hakimah and Narada explained the future they had planned for this land, and so she left right after, leaving her servant behind for her to document what happened in this place. Ran was very weak but very smart and so it was difficult to cross her since she saw traps before they were triggered.
Yukari had left, to speak to lords of worlds she knew were in trouble, and encourage them to join this new place. It would be hard, but she could join those pocket universes together and thus make this new land richer and safer for other youkai. First Makai appeared, then Hakugyoukurou, and later on the former hell. This process was long since convincing the lords of this world was difficult, it took Yukari many years to bring those places together.
