Chapter 5: Rebirth and Justice
'Kougaiji-san, here is my story to tell. No one ever knows this, but this has been passed down in my family as a fairy tale...'
There was a cherry blossom nymph that was punished for breaking the law of being. She united with a demon out of marriage, used unclean language and that was out of the rules. Her spirit was burned and what she left behind was a demon girl who was her daughter.
Her hair was the cherry pink of her mother and her eyes were the demon yellow of her father. She didn't know who was her father. All she could do was command the petals of her mother's tree to dance. She knew what was the fate of her mother and so she tried to prove that she wasn't like her mother who broke rules. Everyday, she tried to find a way to prove that she was good and so, one day, she saw a priest who wanted to end his life by jumping off the temple. She knew it wasn't right, and so, as the priest jumped, she commanded the cherry tree to cushon the priests fall. The high priest rewarded her with a gold choker and she started to pray to Buddah.
After a few years, she found a mate who was also a demon and they brought forth children. They all followed the teachings of Buddah. They were decent and innocent, not like the nymph they decended from.
One day, people accused them of killing people. The people tried to kill the demons, but it was no use, the demon girl's prayers protected her and she convinced herself and her family that they are not demons at all. There was one human family that stayed to believe that even demons could be bodhisattvas.
One day, the demon girl died. She left her choker with her eldest daughter and she believed that her mother's spirit would reincarnate in whoever from her bloodline that would wear her choker. And so, the choker continued to go through generations and generations of our family. The story says that due to our praying to Buddah, we not need to have a limiter. But the powers of the nymph are more stronger and therefore must be weakly sealed by the choker. It stops the wearer from causing extreme havoc.
'That's the end of the story, Kougaiji-san. I don't know if it is true though.' 'It is. The seal of the choker must be weak now. It is best if the choker would be reblessed sometime around.' 'But I guess we would be meddling with her fate.' 'So we'll just let it weaken.' 'Sometime, when Sakura learns about this. She's too young to know the truth.'
