Chapter 21
Last Time
Aria looked at Yamamoto. "Old man, he is by far weaker than me. Why do you think he hid all those years?" she said as she turned and walked into the woods, heading towards where she knew Fuego's room was. He was gonna pay.
This Time
As she was walking through the woods, Aria was mentally beating herself, ignoring the fact that everyone was following her. I probably ought to tell them to stay in the woods until that man is dead. "Guys, you probably ought to stay here. I don't want to risk you getting hurt in the cross-fire," she said, turning behind her. There was no movement behind her. She nodded and started walking towards and she heard the leaves rustling again. She rolled her eyes. Their dumbness. She kept walking and came to the clearing where Fuego's house was. She walked up the stairs and went in. "Uncle Fuego?" Aria said timidly. "May I talk with you, privately?" she said, walking up to him. He was sitting at his desk. He looked up.
"Of course, my dear," Aria cringed inwardly at that as he signaled to the guards to leave, "what would you like to talk about?"
Aria waited until the guards left to speak. "I want to talk about my coma. What happened to make me go under anyways?"
He leaned back. "We are not really sure what caused it, we know though that you were in a coma," he said casually.
He is a good actor, Aria thought disgustedly. "Ok, thank you Uncle Fuego."
"You are welcome, Aria. Sleep well," he said, smiling smugly.
She smiled sweetly. "You too, Uncle," she said as she left.
After she walked out aways from the house, she stopped and looked backed towards the house. She looked forward, into the woods. She saw everyone faintly, watching. She closed her eyes and said, partly to them and partly to herself, "Watch, and be afraid; see, and fear death," she said as she opened her eyes. They were dragon like and seemed as if a fire was raging inside. She whirled, her sword in hand. "Fuego, feel Saishū-tekina Ikar!" she shouted, raising her sword and pointed it towards the house. Flames rushed out of her sword and weaved around the few trees in the courtyard, through the door and into the house. A scream came from inside the house as flames engulfed the house. The guards came rushing and shouting. Suddenly, they stopped, shook their heads and looked around. Where were they? Aria turned and walked towards the soul reapers. Her job was done here. "Ready to go?" she said as she walked past them towards the Seireti. They looked at each other, shocked, and followed her.
