Chapter 21
6 years later…
Isuzu didn't do anything for the next several years. The only main things that happened was that she got married to Haru, who swore he'd make her feel better about the child that was killed from the curse's ritual. Isuzu even had her own little daughter, Hotaru, on the day of the murdered girl's birthday.
Hotaru was a timid girl, yet, if angered, she was scary. If someone were to be her friend however, she was the sweetest little girl ever. From around the age of two, Isuzu started feeling better and brought her to the nearby park where lots of other little children played.
There, Rin had to burn a certain image in her eyes; much as Akika's gory death had once done to her.
Hotaru walked to the sandbox where several children played, and easily joined the group. Being a responsible parent, Rin watched carefully as her child played with others, when a little boy in the sandbox caught her eyes.
He was around three or four, Rin guessed. His hair was a very light golden red. His eyes were bright gold. The horse looked around and found the mother of the child, though, she looked nothing like him. Rin could only tell that they were related because when the woman called a name, that certain little boy turned and giggled, waving happily.
Several nights later, there was a murder. A pregnant woman died from the hands of a child. Watching the news at the time after her daughter had gone to sleep, Isuzu's eyes widened. There was that same little boy she saw at the park, covered in blood, though, still alive. His golden eyes were blank with fright. Rin knew those eyes. They were the same eyes Akika had when she killed her classmate.
Turning the TV off and holding her head, Isuzu sighed, tears coming to her eyes. Who knew what fate that child had to face from now on…?
