Chapter 7
The
Truth
Haruki had been told everything about the laws of the 3 worlds. He learned of Reiki, the strange energy that gave life to good things, and Youki, the evil energy that gave life to dark things. He was then told a bit of Yusuke's adventures as a detective. Haruki thought it was all some kind of well thought out joke. But then what had he seen back on the hill..?
"Whatever. Like I'm going to believe something like this". Haruki jumped to his feet and headed toward the door. Suddenly he was stuck in place. He froze and suddenly slipped and fell onto his back. Yusuke walked over and looked down on him.
"Come with me Haruki". Suddenly Haruki could move again. He got to his feet and followed Yusuke outside into a nearby bog.
Gee, sure brings back memories... Yusuke was deep in thought now. In this bog he had once fought Rando, a demon who had killed 99 reiki masters to learn they're techniques. Yusuke had won the fight after Rando's reduction charm backfired and shrunk him to the size of a mouse.
"Ok, why am I here?" Haruki finally asked when they stopped walking. Yusuke pointed to a nearby boulder.
"I am going to show you something. This is a very simple yet powerful reiki technique."
Yusuke extended his index finger and withdrew the rest, shaping his hand like a pistol. He then pointed it at the boulder. A whistling noise began, ringing slowly and then very quickly.
"Spirit Gun!"
Haruki's head suddenly hurt a lot. He stumbled back as a blast of what seemed like blue fire shot from Yusuke's index finger. It collided with the boulder and blew it to pieces.
Spirit Gun: A focused blast of energy. This is a very powerful technique and also very easy to learn. Because of how much energy it consumes, few can use it more then once a day.
"Holy crap!"
Yusuke turned and faced Haruki, who had fallen over again. His head stopped hurting suddenly.
"The fact that you can see it proves something. Your sixth sense is powerful. You saw those demons for what they truly were as well..."
Yusuke looked across a pool of water at another, smaller boulder.
"You try."
"Are you crazy? I can't do that!"
"I think you can. You obviously have powers. You just haven't found them."
Feeling stupid, Haruki pointed his index finger at the rock.
"Picture in your mind all of the energy flowing in your body focusing in that one finger. Then pull the trigger in your mind."
Haruki
did. To his utter surprise he suddenly felt energy drain from his
body. A small blast of blue fire shot from his index finger and hit
the rock, breaking it into 8 small pieces.
Haruki is
discovering that he has strange powers. How do he gain them, and what
will he use them for?
