Hi there, how's the story you think, now I will present you chapter 7, I hope you like it.


Chapter 7. The First Encounter.

In rokkaku, inside the chief's house, the chief was looking out from the window intensely, as if something would come out from there. He sighed and gulped his favourite tea, and then someone just appeared there. The chief sighed.

He thought. "Is it just me or someone really plan to always disturb my tea break."

The cause of disturbance bowed. "Forgive me for my intrusion, Chief Hanzo. But, I have obtained important information."

"So, Fuma. What kind of information?" Chief Hanzo inquired.

"I've found him," Fuma stated.

Hanzo widened his eyes. "You meet him!" He asked. "Where did you find him?"

"In Seek Valley." Fume answered.

Hanzo had a thoughtful look. "So, what was he doing there?"

"He said he was visiting his friend."

"Oh, all right, so did you get something from him?"

"Yes, and from what he told me. Maybe, just maybe, our assumption for the last 15 years was wrong." Fuma said.

Hanzo raised his eyebrows. "Why you say so?"

"Kasumi wasn't with him and he said the last time he saw her was 15 years ago," Fuma informed. "And... well... he was kind of surprise about our assumption about him and Kasumi. He said he never got involved that far with Kasumi. In order word, he pretty sure he isn't Misty's father." Fuma added.

Hanzo frowned. "This is unexpected, indeed. So, if we left out Master Tir from this, we have a lot more riddle to solve. Like, where did Kasumi go, if she wasn't with him? And more importantly who is Misty's father?"

Fuma also frowned. "We are getting nowhere. Also with Misty disappearance, this problem has become more complicated."

"Yes, not to mention Kaya is still looking for her out there and hasn't come back since then." Chief Hanzo added.

Fuma sighed. "Those girls are a handful. I feel bad for their behaviour because I didn't raise them well enough."

"You don't have to feel bad, Fuma. I know it was difficult for you to raise them especially after your wife died because of her illness."

"I will take my leave, Chief Hanzo." With that Fuma vanished from sight.

Without their knowing, a figure in black had eavesdropped their conversation. The figure disappeared with the wind without anyone noticing.

The figure went to the direction of Seek Valley. The figure smiled knowingly. "Finally, I can meet you, Tir McDohl, the so-called lover of my so-called mother."

Meanwhile somewhere else.

In a room, a boy with purple and red bandanna sat in a bed. He looked deep in thought until he heard some knocks.

A man with chocolate hair and chocolate eyes entered the room.

"So, Tir, do you enjoy your time here?"

"Sure, Futch. Give my thanks to Captain Milia for allowing me to stay the night here."

Futch laughed. "Of course, she would allow you. She respects you after all."

Tir smiled. "By the way, where have you been?" Futch asked.

Tir tilted his head to the left. "I was in grassland not too long ago."

"You were visiting Luc, weren't you?" Futch said.

Tir smiled grimly. "Yes, I keep regretting that I wasn't there that time."

Futch looked at him sadly. "It's okay Tir. It's not your fault."

"I should have been there, at least to smack him across the head to make him realize that he isn't alone."

Futch put his hands on Tir's shoulders. "Tir, don't blame yourself. This is his choice."

Tir was silent for a while until he finally said. "Thanks, Futch."

Futch smiled. "All right then, it's late. I will see you in the morning." He then left the room.

Tir lied down on the bed. He still could not forget what happened at Seek Valley. It could not be helped. After all, how many time people looking for you because they suspected that you were a father.

Tir frowned at the memory.

Flashback begins.

Tir was standing and looking around at the place where he last saw his best friend, Ted. He closed his eyes to feel his surroundings. He opened his eyes again when he felt someone approaching. He turned around and found himself face to face with a ninja in a red outfit. He looked familiar. He searched his memories and found out who was in front of him.

The ninja approached him. "Long time no see, Master Tir."

Tir raised his eyebrows. "Are you Fuma?"

"Yes, well, I had been looking for you."

"Why are you looking for me?" Tir asked.

"We, the ninjas of Rokkaku, need to confirm something," Fuma stated.

"What is it?"

"Well, for started, do you know where is Kasumi?"

Tir was not expecting that. It had been so long since he heard her name. And Tir did not plan to hear it again, especially not in Toran.

"I don't know. I never saw her since I left Toran." Tir replied.

Fuma frowned. "You sure? She has been missing for 15 years."

Tir face was expressionless, but inside he was shocked. "Is that all you want from me?"

Fuma looked hesitated. "Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask."

Tir raised his eyebrows at Fuma hesitation. "So, what is it about?"

"Well, umm... are you..." Fuma started. "It's kind of embarrassing."

Fuma approached Tir and whispered to him. Tir took some steps back after hearing what Fuma wanted to ask. He could not hide his shock.

Tir looked at Fuma in shock. "You... you... you..." He pointed at Fuma. "I can't believe it. You think I did that with Kasumi!"

Tir composure was completely gone and his face was red because of anger and embarrassment.

"I am sorry, Master Tir. It's just our assumption." Fuma apologized.

Tir tried to calm down. "Fine. Please, tell the chief that I never got involved that far with Kasumi."

"All right, Master Tir."

Flashback ends.

Tir sighed. "That was unexpected. Who would have thought something like this would happen."

Tir mused over his last meeting with Kasumi 15 years ago when she tried to stop him from leaving. "What happened to you, Kasumi?"

Tir continued to think about Kasumi until he fell asleep.

Tir found himself in his old room at McDohl's Mansion and he found a young man with long onyx hair lied down in his bed.

"Hi Tir, you have a nice bed. Don't you want to come back here again?"

Tir looked at him grimly. "How many times have I tell you NO, Souleater!"

The man laughed. "Don't know. I lost count at my 37 attempts to change your mind."

"Forget about it, I won't change my mind."

"You sure?"

"Yes, so, whose appearance you use now?"

"Oh, you mean him" The man pointed at himself. "He just someone that Ted met long times ago."

Tir sighed and sat at a chair. "What do you want to talk now?"

The man smiled. "Well, I am just wondering. Are you really sure that you don't have a child with that sweet girl."

Tir glared. "You and I know Kasumi and I never that close."

"Oh really. Have you ever wondered, that I might control your body when you are asleep and did it with her?"

Tir eyes widened. "You're not..."

The man laughed. "Ha ha ha, look at your face. Don't worry, I never control your body. Even if I did I will use it get her soul."

Tir glared at him.

Suddenly, the man glowed and then he stopped laughing.

He smiled. "Look, who we got here."

Tir paled. The souleater only glowed when it near a soul it likes.

Tir opened his eyes and he was back to the room in Dragon's Den. He looked around, he could feel someone present. He grabbed his staff.

He blocked a kick to his left shoulder. He saw his attacker, a figure with a black hood. The figure then tried to scratch his stomach with claw.

Tir stepped back to avoid the attack. He was shocked to see the claw. "That was Kasumi's weapon." He thought grimly.

Tir managed to grab the figure hand after the attack and slam the figure down to the floor head first hard. But the figure managed to scratch his right hand in the process.

The figure was out cold. From the feature, Tir could guess the figure was a girl. Tir removed the hood to see the girl's face. Then, he stepped away from the girl with a shocked face.

"Ka... kasu... mi." He muttered.

Tir looked at the girl's face intensely. The figure had Kasumi's face with long onyx hair and Kasumi's pink scarf as a bandanna.

Tir was frozen in place until the girl woke up. And he found himself staring at Kasumi's teal eyes. But, in her eyes, Tir saw something he never saw in Kasumi's. It was hate and anger.

The girl stood up quickly and studied Tir carefully. They continued to stare at each other for a while.

Then, Tir saw her smiled slyly, another look he never saw in Kasumi. Slowly, she walked to him, while Tir stepped away from her out of confusion. Suddenly, she took a fast step and pushed him backwards.

Tir landed on a soft cushion, which he later realized was the bed. But, he did not have time to ponder on that because suddenly the girl was in front of him. Her right hand was on his chest while her face just 5 inches from his face and she kept getting closer. He was in a panic.

Just when Tir was about to try to get out from that position, the girl withdrew her face but kept her hand in his chest.

"I understand it now." She told him.

Tir was confused. "What do you mean?"

"Master Tir, do you know who am I?"

"After my meeting with Fuma, I think I can guess who you are."

She smirked. "I know, and I take advantage of that."

"I don't understand."

She then moved her face closer to him. "You do realize what I was trying to do a few minutes ago, am I right." She whispered in his left ear. "Or if you don't know. I will tell you that I was trying to seduce you." She then withdrew her face again.

Tir was blushing madly. She smirked at his expression.

She continued. "Of course, I wouldn't think that the great Tir McDohl would fall for such an attempt." She moved closer to him. "Unless, Tir McDohl is madly in love with the temptress, at least at who the temptress lookalike."

The girl withdrew from him. "But, how did you know my feeling?" Tir questioned.

"I heard rumours, but of course rumours can't be trusted." She stated. "You think why I put my hand on your chest."

She looked at his confused face. "You know, there are some things that cause the heart of a healthy person to beat faster and harder than normal, it was either because of anxiety, panic, or love." The girl moved her face towards him. "You think which one is the cause of your fast heartbeat."

Tir looked away from her. She smirked. "Of course, it was an easy guess, right, Master Tir."

Tir did not answer. He kept looking away from her with an expressionless face. The girl then put away her hand and moved away from Tir, which made him felt relieved.

Tir then looked at her. "What are you doing here?"

"I was seducing you, remember." She replied.

Tir was red. "All right, so what is the purpose of that?"

"I was eavesdropping Fuma conversation with Chief Hanzo this morning when they said that you aren't my father. I was just want to confirm if that true or not" The girl explained.

"Then, what's that have to do with you seducing me. Don't you ever hear about talking!" Tir almost lost his temper.

She said. "I can't risk that you might be lying." She continued when she saw Tir was about to retort. "But you won't be able to lie if I seduce you."

Tir looked confused. "What!"

"Don't you see, Master Tir. If you're my father then you must have done it with Kasumi before. But you clearly haven't." She continued. "Because if you have, you won't be so shy with my advance, let alone panic." She snickered while Tir face was redder.

Tir really wanted to shout at her but restrain it because he did not want to alert the dragon knights. He was pissed with this girl. He could not believe that this impudent girl was Kasumi's daughter. She was nothing like her except her look.

"Can you leave now?" Tir requested or ordered.

"Why should I? We were having fun." The girl stated.

Tir eyebrows twitch. "You're the only one who is having fun." He thought.

The girl did not seem to want to leave anytime soon since she decided to help herself and stationed herself on a chair.

Tir sighed and decided to sit on another chair. "What do you want now?"

"Can I sleep here tonight?" She said it with a tone that made people did not want to argue.

But it did not work with Tir. "No." He said firmly. "Why don't you go home?"

"Maybe you don't know, but I run away from home a week ago."

Tir raised his eyebrows. "You do realize you just repeated what Kasumi's done."

"Really? Have Kasumi seduced you before?"

Tir looked annoyed. "Don't ever mention about that again." He said in a dangerous tone.

The girl looked as if she did not hear him. "So, what do Kasumi look like?"

"The last time I see her she looked like you but her hair is shorter. But her personality was nothing like you." Tir answered.

The girl looked grim. "Don't compare me to her. I don't want to be like her. You think why I threw away the name Fuma gave to me!"

"What the name he gave you?"

"He named me after her, Kasumi." She said the name as if its poison.

Tir looked at her sadly. "What will you do when you meet her?"

"Isn't it obvious, I will make her pay for leaving me? She will regret the day I was born because I will kill her for it."

Tir looked shocked. "Do you think you will feel happy after you kill her?"

"No, nothing will make me happy now." The girl stated.

Tir narrowed his eyes. "I will stop you."

The girl looked at him intensely. "Then, I will kill you too."

The dangerous atmosphere then vanished when the girl said.

"So, can I sleep with you?"

That sentence caught Tir off guard and fell down from the chair. It could not be helped, after all, how many girls said they will kill you then their next sentence were 'Can I sleep with you?'

Tir was on his feet abruptly. "No, leave now." He restrained himself from screaming.

The girl stood up. "All right, good night, Master Tir. I hope the next time we meet isn't in battle."

The girl was about to leave but Tir stops her. "If you don't want to be called Kasumi, so what should I call you?"

"Call me Misty." With that, she left.

Meanwhile in Gregminster.

Two figures were walking around the town. It was a man with blond hair and mint eyes and a girl with silver hair and rosewood eyes.

"So, Sierra. Can you feel any rune nearby?" The man asked.

"Not yet." The girl named Sierra answered.

The man sighed. "Just what kind of rune Harmonia wants me to investigate this time?" The man said. "Maybe I am should retire. I am too old for this."

"Quit your whining, Nash. At least I am helping you. So, just stop talking that you're too old for everything." Sierra snapped at him.

Nash said. "Anyway, why don't we looking for an inn, it's already midnight."

They walked to an inn and entered it. They walked to the innkeeper.

"Do you have a room?" Nash asked.

"I am sorry sir, we are full." The innkeeper said.

Nash frowned at that. "Huh, what now, Sierra, this is the only inn in this town. And I don't think my old body can't stand another night in the forest."

"What do you expect me to do? You want me to kill one of the visitors." Sierra stated nonchalantly.

Nash sweat-dropped at that while the innkeeper looked scared and shock.

"She was kidding, don't worry," Nash said to the innkeeper while dragging Sierra out from the inn.

"Seriously Nash, do you really want me to kill a visitor?" Sierra said after they were outside.

"Of course not, you're crazy." Nash sighed. "It looks like we will go through another night in the forest."

But Sierra did not hear him and looked at a mansion. "Why don't we try that mansion? Maybe they will let us stay the night."

Sierra went to the mansion without waiting for Nash's replied. "Sierra, wait."

Sierra knocked on the door. And she was greeted by a woman with blond hair.

"What can I help you in the middle of the night?" The woman said.

"Can we stay here tonight? The inn is full." Sierra said.

The woman raised her eyebrows. "Fine, come in." The woman said. "I am a servant here. My name is Cleo. Welcome to McDohl's Mansion."

"It's a pleasure for us," Nash said. "My name is Nash and this is my wife Sierra."

"Nice to meet you, I will show you to your room," Cleo said.

Cleo led them to a room in the left corner. "This will be your room for tonight. We don't really have that many rooms. I hope you enjoy your night here."

"Of course, thank you, Lady Cleo," Nash said.

"Well, then, good night." Cleo then went back to her room.

Nash and Sierra then entered the room. Sierra sat on a chair while Nash threw himself to the bed.

"Finally, a real bed. Let's sleep together, Sierra. It's not every day we get to sleep on a bed."

"Go ahead, I am not sleepy."

"Of course you are not," Nash said. "Whatever, Goodnight, honey."

Sierra closed her eyes in concentration and felt a rune at southwest, not just any rune but a true rune.

She smiled. "I found you, Tir McDohl."
