A/N Thank you for all the encouraging reviews.

Whireelfelder: I cannot answer you questions for that will be spoiling the fun. I'm sure you will work it out on your own without my giving you the answers.

DarkRevei: Happy you still like my stories.

ShadowLady89: I'm glad you like the story. Yoochun is a Heavenly Ways Master. Heavenly Ways and Guardians don't get along. We will see why later. As for the destruction of his ki center that too will be seen later. It's only the second chapter going into the third.

Harry's POV

He saw the narrowed gazes of many of the elders. It was as if they were considering him. The Sunwoo clan for their part looked stunned at his declaration. They were the only ones that had any reason to want him to stay. He would not be used as a figure head though. He would not let them use him.

A snort came from am elder he recognised from the tower incident. The man said cruelly," A boy with a broken ki center. Yes that's a perfect idea. Send him to learn techniques he could never use. Does anyone have any have any real suggestions?"

Many of the disciples stood angrily on his behalf. He threw out an arm to stop them from jumping across the table. It took a few moments to recognise him but eventually he did.

The old man was Jang Mung Kwon a real master. One of the top fighters in Murim even at his age. He was also leader of the Hogi clan. His school once held the seat of the Dragon Staff. One of the nine seat of the Dragon. According to his master Goomoonryong this man along with a few others were monsters. To face them in combat was suicide.

A woman he didn't recognize who sat next to Sera Nova stood. She said calmly," Enough Ganju. I wish to hear the boy speak."

The man bowed his head in difference to her though still glaring at him. The woman was old likely even older than the Ganju. Yet the power that radiated off of her was immense. She was not someone to be trifled with.

She indicated for him to speak. So he said," You are all arguing about who to send to the elemental countries. Your worried about losing skilled members of your clan and your disciples. Still we need to find their techniques if they still exist. It makes the most sense to send the one no one would miss."

Sera said thoughtfully," We have been working with the One Moon School. We may have found a way to fix his ki center. If Shioon is willing to take the chance?"

He felt his jaw practically become unhinged as it dropped. There was a look of uncertainty in her eyes but a larger amount of determination. She could do it. She could make it to where he could do martial arts again.

A man he recognized as Hyun Won Je said absent mindedly," If he survives the first part you mean. To even think of trying this we need him to take the Il Wal Sin Dan (One Moon Divine Medicine). Let also not forget that it only works on ten percent of Murim. Otherwise they die of internal fire."

He had to stop himself from gulping. Internal fire was when someone had too much ki and couldn't use the proper distribution technique. It was a horrible way to die. Then again he really wasn't living. The ki distribution technique that his master had left with him might work. The Black Heaven and Earth technique. The most powerful ki distribution technique ever made.

He said looking them all in turn," I'll do it and i will still go to the elemental countries."

Now instead of yelling there was quiet murmurs. Ha Ill said calmly taking a knee," I, Ha Ill Gang, the Lightning Heel and one of the retainers of the Sunwoo clan will go with him. I shall protect you with my life Shioon Lee."

For a moment all he could do is blink. The other had just sworn to protect his life. His life. The useless head of the Sunwoo clan. Mun Gi Ma moved closer catching the dark haired boy's attention.

He didn't kneel but he did bow as he said," I owe you a life debt cutie. If you ever need me all you have to do is say something."

He wasn't the only one shocked by the announcement. Many of the elders were as well. Kang Sung though was smiling knowingly. It was almost as if he knew that they would rally behind him. How would he know? Never mind he didn't want to know how the man knew.

Kang Sung asked," Are we in agreement then?"

The elders conferenced before one said," With no other options it seems we are in agreement. How long before the boy will be ready?"

All eyes turned to Hyun Won Je. After several tense moments of silence he said," A week minimum. Even then he would not be able to use heavy martial arts for at least another. Two weeks to be safe."

He felt excitement bubble in his chest. In two weeks he could be using martial arts again. Then his face fell again. He would have to get through the effects of this pill he would have to take first. A pill that could very well kill him.

He was drawn by his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw Hyun staring down at him. With a tilt of his head the man indicated for him to follow him. Sera wasn't far behind them as they made their way to the elevator.

They had to wait for several trips to go by before they could take it. The elders were given priority over them. That wasn't surprising for their ranking within the alliance. Especially his. He was probably the lowest in ranking. He had no official clan of his own and his center was broken.

The Sunwoo clan would rid themselves of him as soon as their true head was returned. Then once again he would be left with nothing. Sometimes he wondered why he kept struggling. It would have just been easier for him to allow one of them to kill him.

Shaking himself of those thoughts he followed Hyun to one of the cars. Sera got in the front passenger while he and Hyun got in the back. It was a tense few moments of silence that they refused to break.

Unable to take it anymore he asked the blond haired man," Hyun why?" The man made a distracted sound so he continued," Why would you use such a valuable medicine on me? Isn't it worth a lot of money?"

Now he had the man's full attention. The man said rolling up his sleeves and loosening his tie," Unlike the other clans I care little for what goes on in Murim. My main focus in the medicine we create. This will be the first time we will try to recreate a ki center. You must understand that something like this has never been tried before."

So all in all. He was a freak. Again. Why couldn't he be a normal kid? That's all he's ever wanted.

As if sensing his thoughts the man smacked him upside the head and said," Don't think like that, kid. Those thoughts will only do more harm than good. It's written all over your face. Give me your wrist."

He had been through this enough times he knew the man was checking his non-existent ki flow. So he held out his arm wrist up. Without hesitation the man took his wrist and pressed two fingers into the pulse point.

They sat silently for a moment before Hyun said," It's not just broken. It's shattered. Your master did a number on you didn't he?"

That he did. The tower incident... Sungsengnim...

Flashback

He was in his knees the man that had caused them so much pain had a deathgrip on the back of his neck. If he moved even in an inch the man would break his neck. Damn it! They had won why couldn't this man just give it up already?! Sungsengnim would never give him the secrets of the Black Heaven and Earth technique.

The man said growling," Give me the secrets of the Black Heaven and Earth technique technique, Goomoonryong. Or your disciple dies. Go on brat beg your master to save your life."

He let up just enough so that he could speak but still unable to move. He shouted," Don't do it Sungengnim! Don't..."

The rest of his statement was cut off by the tightening grip on his neck. The insane man behind him grumbled something about stubborn children. He wasn't listening though. His eyes were on his teacher. Even in the holds of the Black Origin Threshold he had never seen the man so sad.

He surprised both Harry and the insane man by using Jin. It brought him right in front of them. Before either of them could react the man used inner ki strike to hit both Harry and the insane man holding him. Harry felt the strength leaving his body as the world slowly went black. The last thing he saw was his master's saddened face.

End of flashback

He jumped away from the unfamiliar person in front of him. His wand was out half a second later. The person in front of him sat eerily still. As if waiting for something.

The events of the day came crashing back to him. He was not on that damned rooftop and he was not being hunted. He dropped back into the seat dropping his head into his hands. The flashbacks were getting worse and coming in much more frequent bursts.

Hyun asked calmly," How often has that been happening?"

Looking away ashamed of his weakness he said," For about six months now. They started to intensify after the tower incident."

Hyun said nodding," I would think so especially after your master destroyed your ki center that night. You were very lucky to have survived that."

He responded cynically," Luck or misfortune. Just a few weeks before thay I had lost everyone that i cared about. I wish i had died alongside them. Then I wouldn't be so damn alone anymore."

The blond haired man said grabbing Harry's chin forcing him to look in the silver eyes," You are not alone kid. Do you think we would just pick anyone with a broken ki center?"

It took several moments for him to realize what the other was saying. This man Munju of the One Moon School was comforting him. It was strange because normally the man was stoic. There was a sense of caring in those silver eyes.

Unable to take it he dropped his eyes. The man said calmly," Don't cut yourself off from everyone. If you give up they win. If you give up everyone that has died, died for nothing."

That made him stop and think. The man leaned back leaving the younger to his thoughts. They didn't want him to give up. They wanted him to keep fighting and live. That he was no longer alone in the world.

How could he truly love though when everyone he cared about was gone? They won the war but the cost was so high. Now he was getting dragged into another war. He sighed leaning against the window of the car. Maybe things would make more sense when his ki center was fixed.
