Chapter 4
Yurzuriha locked the doors of the café. Finally her shift was over.
"Inuki" Yurzuriha yawned "I know it's tiring but it's the only way we can keep up with our expenses...now that we're away from grandma."
Inuki gave off a woof in reply and they started to walk home. A soft breeze gave off in the air and the stars are up high. Suddenly, Inuki ran off.
"Inuki! Where are you going?!" Yurzuriha ran after Inuki. She ran through many alleys trying to find him and finally came to a stop when she saw a familiar figure. Someone with a white long coat walked past. She followed him from behind.
'FLASHBACK'
Yurzuriha is five years old, she was playing cards with her friend from the Sumeragi district.
"I win!" Yurzuriha said happily not knowing that he lost to her on purpose.
"Good job Yurzuriha, you beat me"
"Heheh! Now you will need to buy ice cream for me" p
Yurzuriha and the boy went to buy ice cream.
'Back to reality'
"Subaru kun..." Yurzuriha sped up running after him, but....it was too late, he had disappeared in the dark night.
'Sighs and continues to look for Inuki'
....................................
Inuki is sitting on top of a hill in a local playground.
"Inuki!" Yurzuriha called as she caught up to him.
Inuki turned to look at Yurzuriha, then back looking at the stars.
"Oh...the stars. We must meet Kamui and the others soon" 'pats Inuki on the head'
Yurzuriha sits down next to Inuki to gaze upon the stars.
"Mind if I take a seat?" A man asked from behind.
He was wearing some sort of uniform of green.
"Uh no...certainly" ''
He sat down next to her.
"The stars are beautiful tonight but yet they have a sense of sorrow shinning in them"
Yurzuriha looked at him Does he know about the end? She thought
"Well, I call that a night, nice meeting you" He got up "And you dog too"
'He pats Inuki on the head and leaves'
Yurzuriha's eyes widened "Did he just say..And your dog too?"
Tears of joy began to form in her eyes, she brushed them off and hugged Inuki.
"I've been waiting for this moment in all my life" sob sob "Finally someone can see you, I'm so....happy"
..............................................
Kamui stopped in front of the church and looked at his letter –Meet me at the church tomorrow night, Kamui
Signed Magami Tokiko
The church door opened, the same woman that handed him the letter walked out.
"You're here"
"Are you Magami Tokiko?"
"No, but I shall take you to her, if you please, follow me"
Kamui followed the woman in the church.
"Who are you, would you please tell me that?"
'Smiles' "I am Kasumi Karen, little boy"
'Kneels down and pray, a secret door opened from behind the aisle'
Karen led him down the stairs.
The stairs were dark but yet the air smells clean. There was no dust on the railing, someone must have used this place for quite a while.
Finally, they were down the stairs. Another woman with long black hair which was neatly tied stood inside, cleaning the surface of...his mother's urn?
She turned around and took of her glasses.
Kamui stared in shock for that woman looks like............
