Chapter 5: The Other Soul
Aki sat outside the emergency room. His dad had fell asleep after waiting for three hours.
"How irresponsible!" Aki thought. He got up and recalled what had happened just now. His hatred grew more for Tooya. He was more worried for his sister than his parents. The many times he spent with Aya were never forgettable.
"I swear that if he hurt Aya, he will die in my hands," he swore to himself.
"Get down you fucking bitch!" a voice shouted at a brown-eyed girl. The girl trembled as she struggled to keep herself balanced. She was tied on her hands and legs.
"Don't be that harsh and watch your mouth, Miyuri-san. I told you we will discuss about this in the lab. Now," he turned to the goddess "Are you ready?" he grinned with an evil smile. The look was showing that he was hiding something very secretive from her. Aya spit at the 'sir'.
"WHY AM I HERE? TELL ME!" she cried "WHAT GODDE…" but all of a sudden her mouth was glued like a sticker. Miyuri had cast a spell on her.
"Shut up. How disrespectful you've shown to Sir Kagami. Sir, would you like a handker…" but Sir Kagami pushed Miyuri away.
"No, thank you. I see that she's starting to follow us. We'll release you from the ties but you are still under the watchful eyes of both of us. No matter where you are, you can never escape," he turned away with a cold voice. Aya trembled again.
"Why must I go to the hospital kitchen? Will somebody saved me like how Tooya saved me? What's going on here? Why are all these happening to me?" thousands of things shouted in her head. And then another question popped out from her head.
"The other soul in me, could you speak to me?" she asked it in her head. No answer. She sighed as she walked in between Miyuri and Sir Kagami.
Tooya and Yuuhi were five hundred meters away from Aya and the two people with her. Yuuhi strained his eyes to see where Aya was.
"I think my eyes will popped out if I keep continuing doing this," Yuuhi spoke so loudly until Tooya have to show some sign language to ask Yuuhi to keep quite.
"What's wrong? We're just the only ones in these area," he spoke loudly again. Tooya knocked his head.
"Shut up, you doink! Who knows who will be lurking behind these trees?" he warned the golden brown hair guy. Yuuhi pretended to shut his ears. Tooya just shook his head and started to lead the way.
"AYA MIKAGE…" the voice came back. Aya woke up only to see herself in a small room full of machines. All of them were connected to her. She saw the two people and another guy with blonde hair.
"AYA…" the voice spoke again. Aya quickly concentrated on the voice.
"I still don't know who are you. I need to know more about everything else," she said in her head. The person cleared her voice.
"MY NAME'S CERES MIKAGE AND I'M A CELESTIAL BEING. I'LL BEGIN ALL ABOUT MY STORY. ARE YOU READY?" Ceres replied in a calm voice. Aya said a quiet 'Yes'. Ceres cleared her voice again.
"I WAS BATHING WITH MY SEVEN SISTERS (I don't know how many but from I read from other legends that were related to Ceres, there were eight celestial maidens altogether.) IN A LAKE NEAR A WATERFALL. WHILE I WAS ABOUT TO FOLLOW MY SISTERS BACK TO HEAVEN, I FOUND MY HAGOROMO (thanks for the help to my three reviewers! I haven't watch Ayashi No Ceres for quite a long time!) WENT MISSING. AFTER SEARCHING FOR THIS CELESTIAL ROBE WHICH IS ALSO CALL MANA (oh yes…there's another name for it…thank you to gunz, my reviewer.), I GAVE UP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, A GUY APPEARED. HE SHOWED ME THE HAGOROMO. I WANTED TO TAKE IT WHEN HE SAID THAT I'VE TO MARRIED HIM AND GIVE BIRTH TO FOUR CHILDREN ONLY THEN I CAN TAKE BACK THE ROBE. I AGREED WITH HIM (One of the legend said something like this.)" the voice paused for one moment. Aya felt something injected into her veins. She closed her eyes.
"I'm still listening, Ceres," Aya answered back.
"GOOD. NOW, I'LL CONTINUE. AFTER I HAD THREE CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND, SHISO MIKAGE, WAS TORTURED BY A GROUP OF GUYS FOR NOT PAYING HIS DEBTS. BY THAT TIME, HE WAS NEAR TO DEATH. MINUTES BEFORE HE DIED, I KEPT ASKING THE SAME QUESTION FROM THE DAY I MARRIED HIM. THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT WHERE HE KEPT THE MANA. HE REFUSED TO TELL ME, BUT I BEGGED HIM TO. HE PITIED ME AND TOLD ME THAT HE USED THAT MANA IN A GAMBLING GAME AND GAVE THE MANA TO THE PERSON WHO WON THE GAMBLING GAME. HOWEVER, THIS WAS HARD TO FIND BECAUSE HE NEVER SAID THAT PERSON'S NAME. I WENT ASKING PEOPLE AROUND WHETHER THEY HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ABOUT MY CELESTIAL ROBE. THIS NEWS WERE SPREAD AND THE PERSON WHO HAD THIS MANA MUST HAVE USE IT FOR HIS OWN PURPOSE AFTER FINDING OUT HOW USEFUL THE HAGOROMO WAS," Ceres spoke. Aya understood her mission but the next thing Ceres was talking about didn't make Aya believe what she had heard.
"MY GENERATION WAS PASSED DOWN. THE PERSON WHO HAD THE MANA MUST HAVE GIVEN TO SOME PEOPLE AND THEY ALL HAVE THEIR OWN GENERATION WITH EACH DESCENDANT HAVE A MAGICAL POWER. HOWEVER," Ceres paused and felt quite uneasy saying the next line "YOUR MOTHER IS NOT YOUR REAL MOTHER. YOUR FATHER DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE YOU WERE GIVEN BIRTH AND YOUR MOTHER DIED A FEW DAYS AFTER SHE GAVE BIRTH TO YOU. SINCE HER SIR NAME WAS MIKAGE AND YOUR FATHER DIED BEFORE YOU HAD YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SO YOUR SIR NAME WILL BE MIKAGE. YOUR MOTHER IS MY DESCENDANT. YOU WERE LATER GIVEN TO YOUR FATHER'S BROTHER TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.YOUR MOTHER TOLD THEM TO NEVER TELL YOU WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU IN THE PAST AND CHANGED THEIR SIR NAME TO MIKAGE."
Aya couldn't believe her ears. She thought Ceres must be kidding but from Ceres's voice, she had to force herself to take this as the truth.
"But Aki's hair has the same hair colour as mine since we were born! He couldn't have dyed his hair because you can't dye your hair at a so tender age!" Aya fought back. Ceres continued to speak in a calm voice.
"YOUR BROTHER HAD THE SAME HAIR COLOUR LIKE YOU, HIS BROTHER AND AKI. I HAVE TO STOP HERE NOW. TELL LADY SUZUNO I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS," and nothing was heard from her. Who is Lady Suzuno? Aya questioned herself. Aya suddenly felt like her body was floating.
"She seems to be talking to somebody in her, Sir Kagami," the blonde hair guy spoke. Miyuri and Kagami gave an evil smile.
"Aya must be communicating with the goddess. What a good help for us and how stupid she is," Miyuri laughed.
"What do you hear Tooya?" Yuuhi spoke to the red hair guy as they sneaked into the Mikage Building. Both Tooya and Yuuhi had defeated the bodyguards outside.
"I heard someone laughing. A very evil laughter. It sounds like it's coming from the left corridor. Hurry!" Tooya whispered to Yuuhi. Yuuhi gave an 'okay' sign.
Lady Suzuno sat in her house as she faced the window. The moon shone brightly at her. She kept praying to the sky hoping only for the best to Tooya and Yuuhi and hoping they will take Aya back to her house safely.
A few minutes later, her handphone vibrated. She was shocked to see the message. Aya was in the experiment lab? Ceres and Aya will be in a critical mode!
