Chapter 13: The truth of the mysterious orange power
Kasai POV
Sesshomaru and I discuss the plan for me to sneak in through the medical office in order to get that mysterious power. Being the royal soothsayer has its purposes when Haru spare my life if his future were to came true. The plan is true but will eventually be foil by Sesshomaru and the revolutionary army if I figure out what that power is made of. I notice that while Sanyo uses to be a prisoner for Lady Tsuki she always blow that power into his face. It was a large amount dose of it enough to make him cough up blood.
Right now Sanyo is living in the Royal palace once more but no one not even the citizens knows about it. Haru and Sanyo made a deal that once he and Akame are married then Sanyo could take over the Southern Land though I highly doubt it. Sanyo doubts it as well but accepts it to protect his daughter from her own mother. Not that I blame since the advisor is very deadly toward all the women who were more beautiful than her in which she tortures them to death in the chamber. I still have nightmares just thinking about it.
Walking across the hallway seeing some of Haru men's talking how much more torturing they're going to be on us abnormal. Nothing makes me madder than hearing the word just because we're different from others doesn't make us any less different from them. Just what is wrong being different in the first place. Wonder why they have got anything to be against yokai gypsies like us. Heading out to the garden I notice all the stones and precious decoration destroy ever since Haru took over the Southern Land after murdering his father. There was bound to be a celebration where all the yokai gypsies would dance, laugh, and play music but it was a trap under Haru command.
Nothing makes my blood boil than that is when a person betray the entire family because it's hatred towards other. Surely Sanyo or Akame will be the one that"ll murder Haru-sama once and for all.
Made it to the medical office without any trouble from the soldiers or the royal guards. Surprising the office appear to be empty for once, probably because future Princess Sakura caught a terrible fever last night. Avoiding to be seen from the windows I grabbed some of the medical books scanning through them but nothing. Books after books I still haven't found anything about poison being created into power. Until I stumble upon an old purplish red book fallen from the desk. Checking my surrounding I grabbed the book scanning from page to page which is a research of different plants mixed with poisonous berries or demon blood. One particular poisonous plant has caught my interest a demonic snapdragon, highly rare flowers that only bloom every 200 years.
If the yellow demonic snapdragon power were to mix with large amount of different kinds of yokai blood if place back into the flower within the next 200 years the power and the blood will create an orange power that will cause other yokai's powers to weaken slowly along with side effects of coughing up blood and high fever if the flowers were to bloom early. Once the 200th anniversary is worth to come then...
Third POV
"It a pleasure creating the poison Haru-sama," said a voice
"I appreciate it my loyal doctor and once the poison spreads out after the day of my wedding I want every guest to drink the antidote beforehand" Haru reply
"Made it before hand my lord"
"Excellent, once every yokai gypsies died there'll be no more abnormal left on the earth"
"They'll be nothing be than dust my lord"
"What do you mean doctor?"
"When the yellow snapdragon bloom in one week the poison is much stronger and deadlier than from we been using"
"How much deadlier?"
The doctor gives a dark cruel smile at the Lord before showing an example of the yokai breathing in the poisonous power. Giving specific details if the gypsies were to breathe power from the yellow snapdragon with the mixture of different varies yokai blood. The picture was so gruesome and details showing the "lab rats" choking on air violently, crying with tears of blood, and... Disintegrating into thin air.
Kasai hanging on the ceiling nearly growl violently as his eyes caught the sight of the doctors but luckily he had the antidote for the poison. Continuing eavesdropping on the conversation Haru chuckled devilishly before exiting out of the doctor office. Only five minutes pass by , Kasai silently flips over into the air before holding a knife against the doctor's neck.
The doctor face became pale before shivering in fear by the soothsayer weapon against his neck. Cold sweat and the hair on his neck were standing up.
"...Kasai, what are you doing?" the doctor asks
"Getting rid of you from this earth" Kasai replied in cold hearted voice
"Why? If you kill me then you would be charged with treachery"
Kasai laughs lightly that made the doctor face even paler once more. The cool blade leans more on the doctor who was whimpering in fear of death.
"I'll spare your life if you give me the recipe antidote and never speak of it" Kasai bargain
The doctor smirk lightly with his fingers cross in front of him. Once the soothsayer leaves the office then the doctor can repeat the threats against Kasai. Would be good use to murder the traitor once and for all.
"Deal" the doctor replied
The soothsayer leases the doctor before taking the paper of the recipe and the boxes full of the antidote as well. Leaving the office unharmed the soothsayer disappears into thin air leaving the coast is clear. The doctor rushes out of the office unnoticing the trip wire waiting to the drop around the doctor neck. With just that one step the rope pulls the yokai neck into the air snapping his neck.
The doctor breathes his last breath of air before slowly dying his head bowing down and legs dangling in the air. The whole body now waving on the door lane waiting for someone to pass by or scream.
Somewhere in the royal garden Kasai smirk lightly knowing that he finally got rid of the Southern Land most hated yokai on Earth.
"One down...only two more to go," Kasai told himself
