Chapter 5 – The Last Dream (Disappearance
of One Mother)
The faint shadow examined Sumi and
her son sitting beside her. A blue haired man jumped down from the balcony.
He draws a sphere from his pocket with the word Kai engraved in it. It
emits a blinding light and quickly, the man disappeared into thin air.
2 minutes after… at Mori's mansion
"So you did saw that immortal Sumi?
How is the operation doing?" Kaima asked. "Hmm… She have uncursed the child
of destruction from neutral emotion. It's really amazing isn't it?" Magensha
answered. "I see." Kaima nodded. "Your mission is completed as of now,
Magensha. You may leave."
At a split second, Magensha disappeared
in the dark room leaving Kaima alone. "I see. So the legend was true. There
was a madougu even stronger than my Tendou Jigoku. The madougu formed by
my and Kokuu's dreams. Our ambitions to grant wishes have finally turned
to reality. I must have it come to me. Then, We can bring the cursed child
here."
For several months, Kaima gathered
the power of tendou jigoku to create a new madougu called Ji. Something
which magnetized the nearest madougu to come closer to it's bearer. Time
passed. Soon, nightfall arrives. Kaima prepared his final step to bring
the Yume Kai Gyoku near him. He swallowed the magnetic madougu and began
to sleep.
Yume Kai Gyoku is also a madougu. With
the power of Kaima's newly invented madougu, Yume Kai Gyoku was unwillingly
magnetized to Kaima's dream. Soon, he was transported to a different world
and Yume Kai Gyoku appeared before him.
"It was you all along Kaima. What do
you want?" Yume Kai Gyoku asked angrily. "Don't you know why? You probably
knew it by now." Kaima answered smiling. "So, about that cursed child.
Isn't it? Tell me. What do you want from that child?" the madougu asked
again. "His powers. We need it to fulfill Mori's dreams of obtaining eternal
life."
"Leave that child alone. The Uruha's
powers are already far enough for him to find your Tendou Jigoku." Kaima
smiled again and said, "Don't fool me. You know we can't do it by now,
it would take us six more years to find it. By that time, Hokage will already
be in our way. Without Rassen's Koukai Gyoku, we wouldn't be able to restrain
them from destroying Tendou Jigoku."
Yume Kai Gyoku was speechless. Soon,
Kaima spoke again, "Unseal the powers of Koukai Gyoku. I command you."
The madougu is powerless to do anything as it again, sends out a horde
of light which showers again upon the dream world. Soon, the forgotten
Koukai Gyoku was finally empowered once again. The word Kou appeared on
the sphere and the curse was brought back to Rassen.
"Darn you Kaima. If only I could seal
off my own powers back then…"
"It's plain useless now Yume Kai Gyoku.
I've already unsealed the power of the Forbidden madougu once again. You
may leave now. Worthless madougu!" Kaima spit out the madougu he swallowed
and crushed it to pieces. Yume Kai Gyoku quickly disappeared into thin
air shortly thereafter.
Sumi could feel the curse enveloped
Rassen once again as the aura of Koukai Gyoku come towering over them.
She quickly ran to Rassen and again, she saw the Koukai beside her son.
"No way!" She exclaimed as she ran to Rassen and throws the madougu away
again. "How come? I've already sealed it's power." Sumi looks down at Rassen.
"Talk to me Rassen. Say anything!"
Again, no words came out from Rassen's
mouth. Plain air. Soon, blood came out from his eyes once again. Sumi hugged
his son tight. Panicking. Worrying. Not knowing what to do. Several unrightful
words came out from his mouth. "Fuck! This ain't true you son of a bitch!
I'll kill you. Yume Kai Gyoku!"
Sumi left Rassen alone after he falls
asleep that night. Then, she hurriedly went to her bed and slept. Hoping
to see the madougu of dreams once again. Soon, her hope has came to reality
with Yume Kai Gyoku appearing to her once again. Sumi quickly lunges at
Yume Kai Gyoku. Slapping, punching, kicking. Yume Kai Gyoku couldn't prevent
Sumi from struggling and anger. It tried to dodge Sumi as it tries to explain
everything to Sumi. Soon, it was successful in calming Sumi down.
"Sumi, I'm sorry. I have granted a
wish I never wished to grant." Yume Kai Gyoku started. Sumi sat there crying
as she listens to Yume Kai Gyoku. "I was forced to grant it. It was Kaima.
The person who dug, kept, and gave Kirin the Koukai Gyoku for her to give
it to Rassen. I'm sorry. I couldn't keep Kaima's wish from happening because
I'm powerless to prevent someone's wish from ever happening once he wished
to me. Kaima's intention of making you disappear forever to bring Rassen
to them is already bound to happen. There are four more hours left before
your disappearance from this world Sumi and there's nothing we can do about
it now. Do you wish to return to your world by now and wave goodbye to
your son?"
Sumi nodded. "No. If it'd happen, I'll
let it happen. I'll wait here for the last four hours of my existence and
say nothing to my child. I'll die here without any regrets."
"I see. So this is the path you've
chosen. Then it shall be your way. I'll agree on whatever decision you
do."
It was not long before another person
appeared in Sumi's dreams. (Kaa-san… Kaa-san… where are you?) Sumi looked
at her sides, her back… But saw nothing. However, she is sure that it was
her son calling. "Rassen…"
(Kaa-san… I can't see you. Kaa-san…
I'm scared. I'm very scared…)
Sumi noticed that it was already dawn.
Five minutes before her existence be completely erased from this world,
she then saw her son in front of her. "Rassen… my son. I'm sorry. I can
no longer stay by your side. Kaa-san will already leave this place. Be
a good boy Rassen. Promise me…"
(Kaa-san!!! No… Don't leave me… Don't
leave me… Don't leave me!!!)
~ Good bye Rassen… Good Bye Rassen…
Goodbye… ~
Finally, the five remaining minutes
for Sumi has expired and here existence was completely erased in the history.
Rassen screamed in pain and sorrow, but he is completely powerless to do
anything right now. Even though no voice was heard, the dream world was
shaken and destroyed by his emotions. Yume Kai Gyoku was destroyed together
with its only home.
At the other side of the world, Kaima
grinned at his own Eikai Gyoku and smiled. Soon, Rassen will be by his
side and He will finally have one of the three forbidden madougus in his
corner.
