the voice

Kawaru was sent to the Infirmary. Maki is besides Kawaru. It's been few days he still hasn't woken up. "Naniko-Sensei, will he be okay?" Yuki asked. "I don't know, but his spirit level is changing every second, visa versa. It changes from his spirit power of 250 and 100,000. But every time it changes to 100,000 it adds one more spirit power… How interesting…" Naniko replied. "How can you still come…?" Maki yelled. "Why can't I? I'm his wife…" Yuki said. "Hmph, is that all?" Maki sneered. "Yes it is, I've been thinking in the past few days, but I'm ready to face the truth. I do love Kawa-Chan. I don't want to hurt him anyway. I swear…" Yuki confessed. "Hmm, good enough," Maki smiled. Yuki was blinking. "Well to tell you the truth, I wasn't really mad at you… But I do hate your clan for what they did to us. But you're different from them. To look at the bright side, I'm engaged with Kawa-Kun," Maki stuck her tongue out. "WHHAT! That Kawa-Chan, is cheating on me… Don't talk to me," Yuki began to cry in the corner.

"No, that's not it. I made him, but no matter what we were meant to be…" Maki explained. "But, I guess I can share him, if it's just you…" Yuki smiled. "Heh, I wonder when will he wake up. It's been days already…" Maki asked. "But he will wake up though, he's not a person that would leave without saying good bye," Yuki said. "I guess you're right," Maki smiled. "But look I think he's having a dream again… He looks like he's having a fever also…" Naniko said. Yuki began to wipe his sweat. "You girls can feel it also, right?" Naniko asked. "Yes, his spirit power is increasing more and more…" Maki said. "So it's the same thing again," Yuki stated. "Same thing?" Maki asked. "Yes, it happened a week before," Yuki started to explain.

While Yuki was explaining to Maki, Kawaru was having a dream. "Ka-wa-ru," a voice echoed. "Who is it?" Kawaru asked. "Do you want power?" the voice echoed once more. "Yes, I do…" Kawaru said. "Why do you want power?" the voice echoed. "I want power to protect people," Kawaru answered. "So be it," the voice echoed. "What's this?" Kawaru asked. "I am giving you a chance to prove your worth of living," the voice echoed. "I will, thank you…" Kawaru said. "I am always here when you need me, just ask and I'll be there," "there, there, there, there…" the voice echoed.

Kawaru's condition became even worst. Kawaru's heart began to beat harder. Then Kawaru woke up yelling, "STOP!" Kawaru began to breathe hard. "It was just another dream," Kawaru laughed. "It's not funny, you had another fever," Maki scolded. "That's right," Yuki bluffed her face. "You two seem fine now," Kawaru said. "Of course, we're sisters now," Yuki said. "Guess what?" Maki asked. "What is it?" Kawaru replied. "Maki is going to live with us," Yuki said. Kawaru cracked. He became silent as if he were dead. "Kawaru? Kawaru?" Maki said. "I think he's so happy he's wordless," Yuki stuck her tongue out. "I guess your right," Maki smiled.

Kawaru's thoughts. How could this be…? Two girls in my room. It's suppose to be a great pleasure, but I don't have a good feeling about this… Sighs.

Kawaru started to get nervous. "Isn't this great?" Kawaru nodded. "You think so too?" Maki said. "Heheh, yeah…" Kawaru continued to nod. Suddenly, Maki and Yuki kissed him on the cheek. Left and right side of his cheeks. Kawaru blushed. But at the same time, Kawaru heard something. The same voice he heard in his dream. "Kawaru," the voice echoed. "Follow this voice," the voice continued to echo. "Excuse me, I have something to do. Maki, Yuki stay here…" Kawaru ordered. "Okay," both nodded.

Kawaru got off the bed, and continued to walk following the echoing voice. "To seek power, is to get over your fears and struggles," the voice echoed. "My fears and struggles? Do you mean that?" Kawaru asked. "You must know because you have heard," the voice echoed. The echoing voice was coming outside of the school. So Kawaru walked out of it. He walked and turned at the corner and there was the garden. He saw Rin. "That's Rin-Chan," Kawaru said. "Kill her, kill her to achieve power, destroy the people who has destroyed you," the voice echoed. "No I can't, no I can't… I can't hurt people!" Kawaru yelled. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

"You said you want power, release your anger!" the voice echoed. "Kawaru?" Rin turned around. "Kill her, kill her, kill her," The voice echoed. "No I can't!" Kawaru yelled. "Who are you talking to?" Rin asked. Kawaru's eyes became red and started to glow. "Shi-ne…" Kawaru said. "What! So now you're chasing me, that's good," Rin said. Rin took her nodachi out. "Where'd you go?" Rin asked. Kawaru attacked her from behind but she dodged it. "No this is different… This isn't Kawaru…" Rin said. "Gijutsu no Genjutsu…" Kawaru called. His eyes grew brighter then Rin was flashed with it. The technique that Kawaru did was an illusion. It confuses what the opponent sees. "This isn't good, I can't tell where is he. His voices are echoing also…" Rin thought. "This is going to take a while…"

"Kill her, kill her, kill her," the voice kept echoing in Kawaru. Kawaru was hypnotized with this.

"Maki, you feel it also, don't you?" Yuki asked. "Yeah I do… It's Kawaru, his spirit power is increasing little by little. But there is another spirit force, do you think they could be…?" Maki said. "I guess they are, but if Kawaru is this strong, the other person won't last," Yuki replied. "We have to stop him," Maki said. "Let's go," Yuki said. "Naniko-Sensei, excuse us," Yuki added. "Be careful!" Naniko replied.

"So it has started, Kawaru-Kun is awakening little by little…" Naniko said.

"It's this way," Yuki said. When Yuki and Maki arrived, they were confused. They see Rin standing there, and Kawaru standing there. Both were not moving. "RIN-SAN!" Yuki yelled. Kawaru's illusion technique broke. "Heh, thanks for breaking the illusion…" Rin said. "Don't fight Kawaru!" Maki exclaimed. "You're going to die, find a way to wake him than fight him…" Yuki said. "There's no way to talk him out, this is my chance to kill him… One it is my order, and my second reason is because he heard me say something no one was suppose too," Rin blushed. "I do have to admit something he's more than I thought of him from before. He's stronger than I anticipated…" Rin added.

Kawaru's heart began to beat harder. He fell on his knee. He also began to breathe harder. "Kawaru!" Maki yelled. Kawaru sweated a lot, then he collapsed. Rin put her nodachi away. "There's no point of fighting, since he's down. I fight honourably, so jya…" Rin turned around and walked the other way. "Kawaru…" Yuki called. "Let's bring him back home," Maki said. "I guess so. He is getting stronger… But I have a bad feeling about this…" Yuki replied. "I have a bad feeling too, but we have to just believe in him," Maki said. Both held Kawaru and walked him back to otoko ryo.

"This is the fear of everyone isn't it? His power is greater the honours… I fear him myself… If he has control of it then it would be good since he has a good heart, but there might has well be a Judas upon us. So what can we do, but to wait till time comes… Kawaru Ishika…" Kouchou-Sensei said.

Rin's thoughts. I would have been killed before. He wasn't attacking me at all. The real Kawaru must've been fighting him in his mind. So I guess I owe him one now, eh? Hmph…
