Chapter 3
Revelation of Secrets Part 1: Tsubasa's Curse Unfolds
Normal POV
One hot and boring day at the village near the shore, 7 children are playing with the surprisingly white sand.
"Hey! Look at what I've made, a sand castle!" a nine-year old silver haired boy cried.
"Wow! It looks magnificent!" the sixteen-year old brunette replied.
"Ruka, how many shells have you collected." Our favorite raven haired boy asked.
"499 shells, how about you?" the blonde haired boy with blue eyes replied back.
"I lose track of counting but my last count was 890 shells, living and dead." He replied.
"Wow. There's so many!" Ruka exclaimed.
"So Hotaru, where could the warlords be?" the blonde haired boy with emerald eyes asked out of the blue.
"They're probably off killing many villagers far away from this village." Our raven-haired girl replied monotonously.
"I feel sorry for the villagers..." Mikan said sadly.
"…and also the curse that those wicked warlords bestowed upon Tsubasa." Koko said sadly.
"Anyway, Tsubasa looked like any normal human being, but why the heck they put a curse on him?" ruka butted in.
"I'm sorry but I think I should tell you now." The auburn eyed boy said.
"Tell what?" the brunette asked.
"Tell you everything about the curse of Tsubasa." He replied flatly.
"Ok." They all said in unison.
"Two weeks ago before you two came here…" he started.
-flashback 2 weeks ago-
The moon was shining brightly over the dimmed forest. It was such a lovely scene until...
"Kurama dear! Come out, come out wherever you are!" a fiery haired man shouted girlishly.
No response.
"Come on, Kurama dear! Don't be shy!" the fiery haired man called out again.
Still, no response.
………………………………………………Deep in the Woods………………………………………………………………………...
"But my lord! You cannot possibly do that! It's way too dangerous!" a pink haired girl with auburn eyes explained.
"But I have to do it Misaki! Even though they are like that, even though they are half-demons I don't care. I do believe that they are not cursed and it's all because of those wretched warriors. Thanks to them, my father was killed." He responded while fire started to grow in his dark blue eyes.
"You don't take a no for an answer, do you? Well, ok then, if that's my lord's wishes, then it will be done." She replied formally.
"Thanks Misaki." He replied while flashing a smile on her.
"No problem my lord. And please don't forget, whenever you're in trouble, I'll always be by your side." She said while smiling at him.
"Ok." He smiled back.
………………………………………………………..Somewhere in the Woods………………………………………………………………………………………….
Someone's POV
"Kurama dear! Come out, come out wherever you are!" a sickening voice called me. Hell, I wouldn't response or else I'll blow up the whole escape attempt I made with this silver haired boy.
"Come on, Kurama dear! Don't be shy!" the voice called out again.
Now, I was running extra fast. I don't want this child to be stuck inside the island. And I don't want to go to that deadly cauldron. As I was running, I came to a sudden halt when I heard a sound of a rattling twig.
End of Someone's POV
…………………………………..Back to Tsubasa and Misaki………………………………………………….
-insert sound of a twig, rattling-
"Did you hear that Misaki?" the dark blue haired man asked his companion.
"Someone is out there, I can sense it." His evr-ready companion replied.
They shifted into fighting stance and readied themselves. Suddenly, a fiery haired man with eyes came out.
…………………………………………………Back to Kurama and Youichi………………………………………………..
Kurama's POV
However, that twig didn't stop me from escaping. You-chan is with me. I can't afford to let him suffer in that wretched island. We badly needed to escape. No, he badly needed to escape.
He's way too young to see and experience the punishments in the mystic island. Talking about the punishments, he had been punished once. But it is way better than the punishment on me. I will be killed soon but he, he'll just stay at the island until those warlords dispose him. And I will never EVER let that happen to him.
Just as we passed a bunch of enormous leaves, there stood the last person we wanted to see.
End of Kurama's POV
Takakou's POV
"Well, look at that. Oh how fate could be kind to all of us, ne? Ohohohoho! The leader of the villagers and the two…escapees are here." I said while grinning.
"What's the meaning of this?" the dark haired leader of the villagers growled at me.
"Let's just say I'm going to get those escapees and bring them back to the island. And then, I'm going to sacrifice the girl to the cauldron." I said while putting my index finger on my chin.
"What? Are you out of your sanity?!!" Tsubasa is his name right? Yeah, Tsubasa screamed.
"Of course not. That's the punishment laid on the people who try to escape from the three warlords." I replied coolly.
"But that's not how my father ruled back then!" Tsubasa shouted his lungs out.
"Father? Oh! The great King Philodelfio. I wonder what power you inherit from him." I said while smiling wickedly.
"Why should I even tell you? I'm not dumb as you." He said.
"Wrong move. You had insulted Takakou!" I shouted at him. "But, I'll deal with you later."
I turn around to look at those escapees. They are whispering to each other. Another escape attempt, ne? Hell, not in front of me.
"Oh the little kids are on their Plan B. So do you kids mind if you tell me?" I said expecting an answer.
Lame attempt Takakou! I mentally slap my forehead. Why did I even bother asking! For goodness sake! They just stuck out their germ-filled tongue! I can hear Tsubasa and his companion holding their laughs. Damn it!
End of Takakou's POV
Kurama's POV
After we passed a bunch of enormous leaves, there stood the last person we wanted to see. Takakou Suoh. Shock and fear are the most visible expression plastered on our tired-looking face. Tired-looking because we ran all the way from the island up to here. And then, we will meet with the warlord? Hell no, I'd rather die!
Almost immediately, I wanted to run and drag Youichi somewhere else that will lead us father away from that Takakou. But then, fear overpowered my senses so I cannot even more a single centimeter. I'm like an unmoved statue with shock in her eyes.
"Well, look at that. Oh how fate could be kind to all of us, ne? Ohohohoho! The leader of the villagers and the two…escapees are here." The voice snapped me out at my shocked state.
I immediately wear my cold face. I don't want that Takakou to see me in this shocked state.
"What's the meaning of this?" the dark haired leader of the villagers growled at him.
"Let's just say I'm going to get those escapees and bring them back to the island. And then, I'm going to sacrifice the girl to the cauldron." The fiery haired man said while putting his index finger on his chin.
"What? Are you out of your sanity?!!" Tsubasa screamed.
"Of course not. That's the punishment laid on the people who try to escape from the three warlords." the fiery haired man replied coolly.
"But that's not how my father ruled back then!" Tsubasa shouted his lungs out.
"Father? Oh! The great King Philodelfio. I wonder what power you inherit from him." I said while smiling wickedly.
"Why should I even tell you? I'm not dumb as you." He said.
"Wrong move. You had insulted Takakou!" I shouted at him. "But, I'll deal with you later."
I took this opportunity to whisper my Plan B to You-chan.
"Listen You-chan. This is a matter of life and death situation. When I say go, hide in the darkness. I'll distract him using my power." I instructed You-chan.
"But Kura-chan! Your powers were not strong yet!" the silver haired kid whispered to me.
"I know, but it will distract him and you'll get the chance to hide." I replied.
"I don't want to leave you!" he whispered to me.
"I know, I don't want to either. But one of us must give in." I explained, hoping he'll understand me.
"Kura-chan, I don't want you to die!" You-chan said while tears started to form in his auburn eyes.
"Shh. It's okay. I don't want you to experience hell either. Plus, having the mark of the three warlords is too much torture for you." I replied while wiping his tears.
"Okay Kura-chan. I'll do what you said." You-chan declared while hugging me. I returned the embrace and kissed his forehead.
I turned to see what's happening around us. Suddenly, my periwinkle orbs met with Takakou's fiery gaze.
"Oh, the little kids are on their Plan B. So do you kids mind if you tell me?" He asked us childishly.
Who is he talking to? A little 3 year old kid? Heck, no. We're not manipulatable kids that will tell him everything that's going around us.We just stare at him and stuck our tongue. Hell no, we're not as dumb as you.
End of Kurama's POV
Takakou's POV
Upon receiving the sight of those germ-filled tongues, got pissed off. Now, I really have to get them by force. No matter what tricks they had on their sleeves, I will get them. I'm going on a surprise attack.
I threw a small amount of fire at Kurama but she summoned her ultimate power. The Water Dragon. It completely disabled the small amount of fire that I threw at her.
"Go!" I heard her shouted. Just then, Youichi, that silver haired brat disappeared in the darkness. Damn it!
"You're my enemy so face me!" she screamed at me. I got amused and charged towards her. Suddenly, I halted without even intending to.
"Looks like the Almighty warlord forgot about us." I turn around. I saw that Tsubasa is smirking widely at me. I struggled and struglled but no use, I can't get out of the spot.
"There's no use in struggling warlord." that brat grinned widely at me.
What could his power be? I looked down at my feet. Just then, I noticed my shadow. I sang joyfully in my head noticing his power. Oh so he has the shadow manipulation, how interesting.
"That's not very good move Tsubasa." then I produced a flame in my palm, lightening my path. I saw him flinch and shocked. "Just be patient Tsubasa, I'll deal with you after I captured this girl." I tuned back to Kurama.
She's been holding her Water Dragon far too long and made her collapse. Hmm, it would be easier than i thought it would. But that Youichi brat. I can't believe he escaped. But anyway, he'll be back soon. I samiled mentally about my cleverness.
"Now, it's your turn." I told Tsubasa with his shock-stricken expression on his annoying face. "I call upon the god of darkness, hear my request. Grant me the strength to put his power into rest." I chanted while touching below his left eye. It started raining. His companion was too shocked to move. Then, a dark blue star appeared below his left eye.
End of Takakou's POV
-end of flashback of two weeks ago-
...and that's what happened. From that day onwards, he cannot use his power anymore." Youichi finished narrating.
"Oh, so that's why Miyako told us he was cursed and it's all because of you guys." Ruka concluded.
"No, you're wrong." a voice interrupted their little story-telling.
"Tsubasa." the silver haired boy said.
"These 5 children..." he started to walk toward them and carry Youichi while patting Mikan's head.
"...are not curse. None of them is the reason why I was cursed." he finished his sentence.
"However, the blue mark below my eye, could never be erased even if one day, the three warlords will be beaten." he said with grief in his eyes.
"Takakou made it permanent." he finally said.
"It's okay, it looks kind of cool though." Koko said cheering up Tsubasa.
"So you mean to say that to make the curse go away, you must beat the warlords, right?" Ruka asked.
"Yes you're totally right. Which is very impossible to do right now because we haven't had enough strength yet. And if the warlords will not be killed immediately, Mi- Hey!" Koko was interrupted by a fallen coconut.
"Invention # 009 Baka coconut. It is usually aimed by the baka aimer to those Bakas who reveal secrets. Secrets that should be kept unknown." the jet black haired girl said monotonously.
"What will happen to Polkadots?" Natsume asked.
"Polkadots? You big PERVERTED jerk! How did you know?!" our pissed off brunette yelled at our perverted Natsume. She had been trained to be calm, but at what Natsume said, well, he crossed the line. sigh.
"I saw it when you're friends are calling you. You waved at them but you didn't notice that your skirt was lifted by the wind." Natsume explained nonchalantly. Now Mikan was really, REALLY mad. Natsume started to run.
"Hey comeback here you PERVERRRRT!!!" Mikan screamed while chasing Natsume. The otheres just sweat drooped.
"A start of love quarrels? Haha." everyone thought.
Nighttime came and they all go back to their respective places. Inside Natsume and Ruka's room...
"that tune, they are playing again." ruka said concerned about the raven haired girl and her companions which amused him slightly.
"Hn." Natsume replied. and they both dozed off to sleep.
...In the Mystic Island...
"ZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzz" Yuu snored.
"zzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzz" Youichi snored.
"ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Koko snored.
"Hey Hotaru, when will we be able to obtain the freedom?" the brunette asked Hotaru.
"I don't know maybe never." Hotaru replied monotonously. And she dozed off to sleep.
"I miss grandpa." Mikan said and dozing off to sleep too.
