Chapter 12: Trouble Brewing
Chihiro handed Jinsei the iyashi herbs.
"Thanks," Jinsei muttered. She was so concentrated on tending Shi's wounds that she was completely oblivious to the dark clouds forming in the sky. Chihiro, however, noticed it right away.
"Looks like there's gonna be a huge storm today, huh?"
Jinsei looked at Chihiri. "What do you mean?"
Chihiro pointed at the clouds.
Jinsei looked so troubled that Chihiro was a bit worried. "What happened?"
"There shouldn't be bad weather in this area, especially a storm. This obviously isn't a normal situation."
As if on que, a scream of pain and agony filled the air.
Jinsei shook her head. "This is a storm created out of pure anger. This is bad."
Chihiro cocked her head. "Why? It won't hurt us, will it?"
"It could. Anger is a really particular emotion that fuels up your powers. The only problem is that power cannot be controlled very well, and the power might even corrupt the spirit's thoughts completely."
"Akuma," someone muttered behind Jinsei and Chihiro. They both jumped.
Shi's eyes bored into Jinsei's. "Akuma."
"Jeez, Shi, are you trying to scare us to death? And what's all this about Akuma? I thought you 'hate her guts forever.'"
"Concentrate hard on the source of the storm, Jinsei. It's Akuma. She's back."
Jinsei eyes widened. "That means that... he... he's back too..."
Shi nodded. "And that means that trouble's coming back."
Uh oh... Trouble's coming back...
