~ Heed my wish, Yume Kai Gyoku! ~

Chapter 4 – The Wish to the Yume Kai Gyoku

"Heed my wish Yume Kai Gyoku! A wish that I will never regret! Now listen carefully to the words I say, and bring glory to this seemingly endless dreams." Sumi chanted as she stares at the Yume Kai Gyoku, which was floating in the air.

Yume Kai Gyoku started to glow as Sumi says her incantation. "Grant my wish! SEAL OFF THE POWER OF KOUKAI GYOKU!"

Yume Kai Gyoku unleashed a horde of different rainbow lights and the whole dream world was showered with unimaginable aura of the strongest madougu of all. "Very well Sumi, your wish, I shall grant. To seal off the power of Koukai Gyoku! Kina wanai yume wa naio! For I am the madougu of wishes! I am yume Kai Gyoku!"

Suddenly, the word Kou engraved in the enlighted world sphere disappeared and Rassen could no longer feel the curse beside him. "Nice work Sumi. I never thought of that wish either!" The madougu exclaimed. "Finally, I have granted your wish. Now, It's time for me to say goodbye." Sumi could see the faint image of Yume Kai Gyoku slowly vanishing into thin air. Soon, she heard the voices of the chirping birds as she returns her soul into the real world.

One day… two days… everyday was a new day for Sumi and her son. As everything seems to be normal for them. Rassen finally got his voice back to him and he goes to school as usual. On the other hand, in a far away mountain, where the first incident of the revelation of Koukai Gyoku took place…

"Kaa-san! Kaa-san! I brought someone along." Neon smiled as she drags a friend from outside their house and excitedly comes in. Elei stopped for a moment and turned back to see who Neon brought here. Before She could say a word, Neon had already broke the silence "Her name is Aki. She told me that she is an orphan. Can we take her in?" Elei smiled at Neon and said, "Why not? Besides, It would be better if you and Mickey had a friend to play with." Elei smiled again and introduced Aki to her daughter. Aki lived happily together with her newly found family. Believing that she no longer have her own family, she accepted Mickey and Neon as her own sisters and Miss Elei as her own mother.

Eight months passed since then, and no worries, no tears, to sorrow, no sufferings greeted Rassen and Neon. After Koukai Gyoku has been sealed, bad luck never occurs in Sumi's life again. Yume Kai Gyoku stayed mysterious and was forgotten over these months. Time has passed so quickly with Sumi and Elei never really noticed that their children are growing really fast.

It was until then that Sumi remembered one thing she wanted to ask Rassen six years ago. "Tell me again Rassen, who is your classmate that gave you your toy six months ago." Rassen smiled to her mother and said, "It was… Kirin. She really is a very kind person." Sumi smiled back at her son, then said, "Really? Can mother see her tomorrow?" Rassen faced down and said in broken voice, "I really want you to see her but, I no longer see her in school anymore."

Sumi bowed in agreement. Even still, there's no reason for looking for that girl anyway. Besides, the power of Koukai Gyoku has already been sealed. There's no reason for her to worry about it. She stood up and leaves Rassen as he plays in his room.

The good times did not last long. It was twelve midnight, in Neon's house…

"Moshure. It's you. I never did expected Soukakusai would send you here to find me. I thought you are the one guarding Tsuki No Miya." Elei said forcefully to a man in black coat wearing eyeglasses.

"Master Kurei and the gifted child of thunder is there right now. No normal person could ever match the power of Raijin. So there's no need to worry. Don't worry. I'm not here to take Neon away. She is of no use to us right now. All I need is your madougu. The Fukyu Waon." Moshure answered

Neon, Aki and Mickey ran outside of their house as their mother and Moshure stayed inside the house. Elei brings out her madougu and points it at Moshure. "You can get it if you want. But only if you can defeat the power of Fukyu Waon." Moshure stared at Elei with his evil smile. "Oh yeah? I'm scared. Don't think Fukyu Waon is strong enough to defeat my madougu. The madougu which controls the element of matter!" Soon, the battle began. Neon's house was completely wrecked as the battle took place. Elei was badly wounded and Moshure stood there without a scratch.

Determined to protect their family treasure and to save her children from death, she raised the Fukyu Waon with her hands. Lifting it up high as she begins to float. "I have no choice but to use this sealed energy again. Forgive me my children, for this is the only way to save you. REQUIEM! I call upon your powers once again. Endless mourns of the dead. Heed my words and bring upon me the screams of these tortured souls. Destroy that man, and save my children from pain and suffering." A neon green orb of light enveloped Elei as she begins to compile the power Requiem has to offer.

It was not long before she finished collecting the necessary energy to defeat Moshure. Suddenly, a green bubble enveloped her daughters. Protecting them from the destructive powers of Requiem. Soon, Elei unleashed its power aimed at Moshure. She looked at her daughters and said "Save this world from destruction. It is my life long dream…"

Moshure's madougu is powerless against the power of the sealed song. Forcing him to retreat. However, the salvation of Elei's daughter doesn't bring happiness to them but more sadness as they see their mother's body breathless as the spirits in the Requiem swallows her soul to infinity. Leaving her body lifeless.

Sad for Elei, but if she did not sacrifice her own life, she would never be able to save her daughters. Neon picked up the Fukyu Waon. "I am Neon! I shall live with our family's madougu. Together with my sisters, we shall remake this world, mother. We shall save this world from destruction. We will protect this world from evil…"

Not knowing there is someone watching them from the woods, a dark faint shadow appeared as the moon shone brightly over it. Neon did not notice the person. Then, the mysterious shadow disappeared. The same happened in Rassen's house. With Sumi completely unaware of what is going on.
