Episode 10: A picture worth thousand stories

Koosuke walked down the basement. He was curious in something; eventually Himeno had a relation to 40 years ago so he wanted to find it out. He entered in the private Niwa library and tried to get the book of Guardian he read previously. Instead of looking for that particular book, he spotted a dropped book. He wondered who would go down there to find books? His son, Daisuke doesn't like old legend books. Dark wasn't interested in any books, he was not a bookworm. Himeno on the other hand, just moved there, clearly she doesn't know about the basement yet. Daiki and Emiko only went there for chanting, and the last time was when Dark appear inside Daisuke. He picked it and started thinking whether he should put it back however for some reason he had this feeling he should read and have a look at it. He turned the book page and had his eyes opened wide. "What the-?" It was album book and on it there was an old picture of young Daiki, Rika and young Himeno.

Himeno and Daisuke were walking to school quietly. Daisuke felt sorry for him and a bit mad towards Dark. Can't he understand where Himeno was at the time he scolded her? Yes Compare to Rika and Himeno, to Dark, Rika was way important to him: not a Guardian who only think of herself. Her face was pale and Daisuke wanted to say something.

He started giggling and looked up the sky, "The weather's fine today, isn't it?" He had sweat drops all over when she slowly looked up. It was silent again and he had vertical lines on his face. It was eerie if Himeno was quiet than always.

"It's gonna rain today…" She said bluntly and Daisuke crashed down. Yes by just looking at the sky, Himeno can tell what weather will come soon, she was a Guardian and for sure she has eerie powers, such as predicting. Her eyes were narrowed and Daisuke could tell she was trying to recall the memories she had with Rika. She sighed, "I haven't study for today's test!"

Daisuke crashed down on the ground again with sweat drops all over when she started bragging that she was actually a good student. She stopped and sighed. She looked to her left, smiling cutely to him, "I am sorry to worry you, Dai-chan but I am okay!" She fisted up, "See?" She showed out a wicked grin.

He looked at this masked upset Himeno with narrowed eyes. Himeno doesn't like to be worried by someone, because she don't want to be burden, it was shown clearly from her faked smile. Daisuke looked ahead and was greeted by a sound very familiar to him, thus he crashed down. He looked at the figure, "Harada-san?"

"You don't have to be surprised," Pissed Riku was above him with crossed arms and looked at Himeno. She bowed, "Good Morning, Himeno sempai." She smiled wide and Risa followed beside her, and started talking about how handsome Dark was the night before.

Himeno looked at the twins with trembling eyes. Those two does have resemblance to Rika, they are her granddaughters from her brother. Her lips started shaking, even her fingers. She looked down with a troubled look, "Good morning, girls."

They started to worry, "Are you sick, sempai?" They asked together, getting closer and a tear dropped down therefore made them surprised. "Sempai?" Immediately Himeno wiped off her tears giggling, saying nonsense and out of topic. Daisuke was sorry from behind.

"What am I worried about?" Himeno talked by herself; "Even though I didn't study for today's test, doesn't mean I have to cry." She giggled again, "I am too old cry…" Daisuke knew that she wasn't crying because of the exam, but because of the familiar and dear faces in front of her eyes. No one can blame her from crying, in addition of what Dark said that morning that hurt Himeno deep.

Koosuke ran up from the basement and stood behind the sofa Daiki was sitting. "Oto-san…" He called, puffing with sweat drops. Emiko was curious from the kitchen and walked towards his husband, concerned.

"What's the matter, Koosuke-kun?" Daiki turned and faced his son-in-law, "Is there a problem?" He wanted to know what Koosuke found for the last few minutes. He saw an old album book on his hand, "What do you have there?"

"Oto-san, you know Himeno-kun before right?" He said out loud and both eyes widened. He looked serious and Daiki started thinking, does he? It had been 40 years, it was not easy to retrieve the unremembered ones. "This picture shows it clearly!" He showed out the picture he saw previously to them. Emiko gasped just after she saw young Himeno standing just beside young Daiki.

Daiki's eyes widened, surprised, he noticed that he used to be close to that girl in that picture. "Could Himeno-chan be Ichi-chan?" He immediately stood up and made the surrounding silent a moment later but then he held on his chest, it started to ache.

"Oto-chan, are you all right?" Emiko ran over to him and held on his shoulders, "Don't restrain your self!" Daiki started sweating. He looked up at his son-in-law and asked Koosuke to hand over the album to him. Daiki looked the picture seriously. "You know her don't you, oto-san?" Koosuke smiled a bit, it seemed like he knew what Himeno was to Daiki 40 years ago.

Daiki nodded, "Ah… she was a Goddess to me…" His eyes trembled and remembered his old days; he didn't expect that he had actually forgotten someone who used to be valuable in his life. He shut his eyes, "Himeno…" He fisted his grips tight.

Himeno walked out from school building alone and quiet. She stopped on the entrance and looked up the sky. She was a silent in a minute and sighed with sweat drops, "I guess I didn't do well for today's test…" She started crying in chibi. She stopped and looked serious. "Don't fool me, you Guardian!' Dark's anger words repeated in her mind and she felt hatred from her 'master'. She bit her lips and held on her head after her school bag dropped down, "I am not fooling anyone…" She felt she was hurt, she can feel her heart in pieces. It was a while after the pervious family. It would have been better if she hadn't restored the powers she has. She was useless in either way; no one wants her, they hate her existence. She started shaking, why does she have to stand through that? Does anyone love her in that huge world? Can anyone comfort her?

"Himeno, I love you…" She looked up with her eyes opened wide, and her pale face. "Rika?" She whispered and felt the comfortable afternoon wind. She looked left and right, "Rika, are you around here?" "Yes, come to me, Himeno…" She can see Rika's smile in her mind. She smiled innocently; she can tell Rika loves her like a friend, a sister. Before she walked forward, a strong hand grabbed her right shoulder and she immediately turned. She saw the purple headed Dark, surprised, "Dark?" She moved two paces back. Just by looking at the serious Dark hurt her feelings hard. She looked away; she doesn't want to look this man's hatred eyes. She turned away, "What do you want?" Since they were the only ones left in the school building, it was okay for Daisuke to alter-go. Dark was wearing the school's uniform, it was a bit tight up because Daisuke was short.

"If you are going to see Rika, you have to bring me with you!" Dark said bluntly and Himeno's eyes grew wide, trembled in fear, didn't she know that it was also jealousy. Apart of her agreed but some reason another devil part of her refused. She couldn't make a decision. "Can't you hear me?" Dark yelled loud; "Proof to me that you are Rika's best friend! Show her to me! I want to see her!" It was so demanding that Himeno couldn't refuse. "I know misfortune came from love but all I want is to see my Rika again!" The image of Rika entered in Dark's face.

Daiki smiled as he looked through the window, "Ichitoki Himeno…" He recalled his younger days' memories whereas the album book was on the table. Both the Niwa husband and wife was patient to know. "She was the young priestess from the Kikyo Temple and I knew her before I altered-go to Dark…" He turned and faced the two, "She was my first love…" Daiki shut his eyes and smiled, "I never knew that feeling until Dark told me…"

Young teenage Daiki always visited the Kikyo temple after his classes just to look at the young working priestess; Ichitoki Himeno. She has long light purple hair with a serious, unfriendly look but she was usually nice to children and smile to them. The feeling towards her can make him alter-go to Dark any time and since Daiki was shy, Dark happened to end up encountering to sweet pretty Rika.

"Himeno, I'd like you to met Dark," Rika introduced a handsome purple haired man about his teens to Himeno. She looked up, with expressionless face. Dark had a wide smile and raised an arm with the word 'yo'. Rika looked down and played with her fingers, blushing, "From the look from your face, you can tell that he is the one I have been talking about…" She looked up at her best friend and smiled, "I am not trying to show off or something. But you're my bestfriend, we don't keep secrets!"

Himeno had her eyes narrowed and looked Dark closely, "He's suspicious." She looked irritated eyes, "I can tell that he is a pervert… from the look of his face." She judged straightly from his look and veins popped out from his head. She immediately turned and continued sweeping, "Well, that's for you to judge."

"Ho…" Dark showed a teasing and pointed look, "Are you a man-hater?" He looked away just after she stopped with a blush. He whistled in chibi, "No wonder no boys are fond to you… you may be cute and sexy but you have a bad attitude and flat chested…" He said out bluntly with irritated eyes while Rika started giggling.

Himeno blushed redder and looked down to her chest, yes her chests are flat. She bit her lips and faced angrily to the first man who said that, at least the first man who talked to her, "Just as I expected, you are a pervert!" She looked at Rika seriously, "Rika, he is unworthy of you!" Rika sweat dropped while both Dark and Himeno started fighting.

They fought again the next day, the day after and onwards. This was usually at night because Dark wanted to spend time of Rika, his love and was loved in returned. The reason he kept teasing Himeno was because Daiki liked her ever since middle junior school.

"Himeno, let's take a picture!" Rika smiled wide and hyper that early morning. Himeno had irritated eyes with a 'no' face. Rika had an upset look, "But I don't have a picture of you!" She tried to push Himeno to the picture position with Daiki and younger boy waiting.

"You don't need my picture…" Himeno looked away and had a teasing look, "You should have more pictures of your lover, that head-blunted Dark…" She walked away and continued her every day sweeping. The small boy beside Daiki ran over towards Himeno and grabbed her hand. "No Tori-chan, I will not!" The boy's eyes shut tight.

"But onee-chan…" He bit her lips with his eyes filled with tears, "I want onee-chan to be in it, with me, Rika-san and Daiki-san!" He pulled Himeno harder in chibi, "Please… please…"

Daiki blushed and whispered a little. 'Say it out loud, stupid!' Dark supported inside him, "Taking one picture doesn't hurt!" Everyone looked at him and he blushed redder, "I mean…" He wanted to have at least one picture of Himeno in his treasure. He looked down when Himeno was looking at him coldly.

She sighed, "Okay fine, but this is because you requested it!" She pointed the boy's forehead as he shut his eyes tight. He pulled her to the position. Rika smiled and Himeno just stood still. "SMILE!" The picture was taken.

Daiki stopped and looked depressed, "Despite of the night of a serious battle, something happened to the Kikyo temple…" He fisted, "It was attacked by the enemy devil of Dark…" He looked down the album book again, "Ichitoki Himeno was said killed in the haunted Kikyo Temple together with her brother and Harada Rika …"

"So Dark went insane after the death of Rika…" Koosuke added seriously and Daiki nodded, "And the same night you stopped alter-go to Dark." Koosuke started thinking, there was a reason why Himeno was around again after 40 years. She was the only one who knows what happened exactly 40 years ago at the Kikyo Temple.

"Ah… if it's not because of Miko, I wouldn't forget about Himeno…" Daiki turned to the next page where picture of his marriage with a young women who looked like Emiko. He looked up, "Miko was my princess…" Emiko had irritated eyes while Koosuke started giggling. "Miko is way prettier compare to Himeno…" Daiki shrugged innocently and paused, "But that doesn't mean my first will never end…" He started cuddling the living room pillow in chibi, "Waa! Himeno is way sexier from the way she was 40 years ago!" Emiko sighed while Koosuke had sweat drops all over.

Dark and Himeno stopped to the Kikyo temple again. Yes, the building was corrupted and unclean. "Rika, I brought you Dark," Himeno had a faked smile looking around and the wind was strong. Dark was impatient and walked forward. He sensed something and he turned to his left. He faced a dead tree and his vision altered: the dead tree had pink cherry flowers and under it, a woman he loved and dear was standing. She turned and smiled at him. "Rika!" He stretched his arm out but the vision changed back, it was the dead tree. He gripped tight and touched the lifeless tree, it contain his and Rika's memories. He mumbled.

Himeno's eyes trembled; either fear or sadness. Dark loved Rika more than anything. She wished there was someone out there that would eventually love an unfeminine and useless like her, would there? She bit her lips and shut her eyes tight. Why does she feel broken looking at these two? Why was she feeling jealous towards this couple? She doesn't love Dark the way Rika does. She was a Guardian, it was a death wish. She snapped a moment later and opened her eyes wide, as the tears burst out.

There was a vision somewhere in her mind that the young Rika and a small boy were attacked by a flying devil, since it was shadowy, she can't see clearly what devil was it. She saw it clashed both of the humans in pleasure and her face became white pale. The boy reached up and smiled towards her, "Onee-chan, protect… Dark-san…" Her vision changed back to the place. She looked surprised, the memory she couldn't see clearly actually happened there, at the Kikyo Temple. She looked around; the Kikyo Temple consisted of both of her sweet and bitter memories. She started shaking, "I am responsible for Rika's death…" She whispered, scared.

"You're wrong," Her eyes grew wider than before and strong arms were on her shoulders, it felt secure. A blonde mirrored Dark stood behind her, calm and comfortable, "You are not responsible for that girl's death!"

Hearing a familiar voice Dark knew well, made him turned immediately and faced another him, "Kard!" He put on a defensive position. Himeno was still surprised and her expression pale. She didn't sense Kard was behind her all the time. Will he kill her for her existence and interruptions every time? She couldn't move a muscle because the shock and sadness inside her.

Kard held Himeno tighter and her expression started to be relaxed momentarily. "Himeno, I can be with you and comfort you if you want," He whispered in her ears, "Just say you will come to me and be with me… I can protect you, unlike this Dark…" Himeno looked up, she started to think. Deep inside, she just someone to protect and be with her all the time, could Kard be 'that' someone she wanted all those years?

"Himeno, don't listen to him!" For some reason, Dark cared so much about her, either because she was Rika's bestfriend or because Kard was an enemy or even better because he actually cared about Himeno, the way he cared about Rika. Kard snorted and released a dozen sharp white wings towards him. A strong wind occurred. "Wiz!" The small white animal appeared and transformed to Dark's black wings. He flew up.

Kard was on the air with Himeno is his arms, "Since you hate Himeno's appearance that much, why can't I have her?" He held Himeno's face nearer to his, "You know I am bit envious that Himeno is your Guardian instead of mine…" He had narrowed eyes, "When I first saw her months ago, it surprised me because we aren't created with Guardians but when I discovered if one can willing to be one…" He smiled with an intended feeling, "Then it's not impossible for me to have one…" He started laughing, "Right, Dark?"

Dark stood there expressionless, it seemed like Kard found out about the Legendary Guardian and interested with it. "Himeno is my Guardian, you can't take her!" He said out loud and Kard started laughing louder.

"Are you stupid or something?" Kard smirked and Dark looked lost, "We are the same. If she's your Guardian, then she is my Guardian also!" Dark and Himeno's eyes grew wide. Kard got a point and he looked at Himeno, cuddling her cheek with his finger, "It's actually your choice who's Guardian you want to be, Himeno-chan…"

She could see his eyes were similar to Hiwatari; this was clear because she knew since the beginning that she was also destined to protect Hiwatari Satoshi too, other than Niwa Daisuke because of a reason that she was the Legendary Guardian that mostly never existed in generations. Her eyes trembled, she couldn't choose.

Dark smirked and started laughing quietly, "You are right! You are me! We are the same!" He looked directly to Kard, "But bear in mind that Himeno had devoted herself to be my Guardian and therefore I am forever as her master!" He pointed himself with confident and Himeno felt surprised. It sounded that he actually accepted her and want her all the time. She turned slowly to him. "Right, Himeno?" He showed out a smile and the ghostly form of Rika stood between them with a smile.
