Hello everybody! ready for the new chapter? be warned though, it's tragic and contains blood. Please enjoy.
Chapter 4
When Summer told Rokuro about the offer that Zenkichi gave to Rokuro about becoming an Exorcist, the young fox Faunus accepted the offer to be trained as an Exorcist. Ruby and Yang were kind of upset that their brother decided to choose the path of an Exorcist instead of a Hunter but didn't object.
Taiyang and Qrow were surprise at the news as well and congratulate Rokuro on his choice. Rokuro started his training at Hinatsuki dormitory during his free time.
The young fox Faunus got on well with the other children of Hinatsuki dormitory and he found out that foxes are said to be a lucky animal in Exorcist lore. Ryogo Nagitsuji, the boy that rescued Rokuro from the Faunus haters, was giving the task to look after Rokuro at his time at Hinatsuki dormitory, something that the blond hair boy got annoyed at first but gradually liked the feeling of having a little brother-like figure.
However, the only part that Summer worry is the training instructor, a man name Seigen Amawake, the same man that the silver eyes women saw on the same day that she found Rokuro in Magano.
Speaking of that topic, Summer kept that information a secret, knowing that if she told anyone about it such as Zenkichi or Seigen, then Rokuro might end up in danger by other Exorcists. That why she kept a close eye on Rokuro, making sure that nothing strange happens to him that will put others in danger.
Back to the topic of Rokuro's training, Seigen can be a bit harsh towards the children with his training methods, but at least they are getting results from the training.
Everyone became surprise at how quickly the fox Faunus managed to control his spiritual power, almost like it was second nature to him. Even Seigen, who doesn't show a lot of emotions, was surprise at Rokuro's skills. His family began to think that Rokuro might have come from an Exorcist family.
However, after three years since Rokuro started his training, Ryogo had to leave Hinatsuki dormitory and moved to Seika dormitory which is located within the city of Vale, somewhere close to the island of Patch.
It was a sad moment for the residents of the dormitory especially for Rokuro, even though he isn't a resident of the Hinatsuki dormitory. However, Ryogo promise to return and see everyone again when he gets the chance. The blond hair boy has change during the three years. He became more serious in his Exorcist studies and has dyed his hair black.
But, after a few days since Ryogo left Hinatsuki dormitory, a new boy appeared called Yuto Ijika. However, the new boy didn't have any interest in becoming friends with any of the children that live at the dorm. This is probably why both Rokuro and Yuto get into arguments, despite them getting along in training.
Ruby and Yang are slightly creeped out by Yuto and Taiyang, Qrow and Summer gained a foreboding feeling from the young boy. However, they never act on this feeling but kept a close eye on Yuto when Rokuro attends his training.
It's been two years since Yuto's arrival to Hinatsuki Dormitory, and tonight will be the day which will change Rokuro's world forever.
"Hey. Where is everybody?" Rokuro asked as he entered a room when Hikari Mikitoji and Chieko Izuhara are sitting at a table.
"They are all in Yuto's room. Saying something about a secret meeting." Hikari replied, causing Rokuro to frown slightly.
"I see..." The red eye Faunus said, causing Chieko to sigh, knowing what mood Rokuro is in.
"I don't see why you and Yuto can't get along out of training?" Chieko asked, looking up from her book. Rokuro sighed deeply.
"I don't know. There's...something about Yuto that I don't like about him." Rokuro replied, scratching the back of his head.
Chieko slump her shoulders before returning to her book. "When are your parents picking you up, Rokuro?" Hikari asked, causing the fox Faunus to hum slightly.
"I don't know. Uncle Qrow said he'll picking me up at this time." Rokuro replied as he looked at the clock that hung on the wall.
"You have a cool Uncle, Rokuro. Being a scythe wielder and a hunter." Hikari said, causing Rokuro to grin.
"Yeah, I know." Rokuro said in a cheerful tone of voice.
"It's a shame that he doesn't like to hang about or always keeping his distance. Do you know why, Rokuro?" Chieko asked, causing Rokuro to shrug his shoulders.
"I don't know. There's a lot of stuff I don't know about Uncle Qrow." Rokuro replied admittedly before a thought entered his head.
"I'll go and see if he is coming." Rokuro said before heading towards the front door.
"Hey! We're not supposed to leave the dorm at night!" Hikari exclaimed as she got up from her seat. However, Rokuro doesn't seem to be listing to her.
"Relax would you. Seigen and the old man aren't here. And anyway, I'm just having a quick look." Rokuro explained as he was about to open the front door.
"Huh?..." Rokuro said as he frowned at the door.
"Is there something wrong, Rokuro?" Chieko asked as she walked over to Rokuro.
"The door. It won't open." Rokuro replied as he tried to open the door.
"What do you mean? Is it locked or something?" Hikari asked, causing the fox Faunus to shake his head.
"I actually mean it. The door physically won't open." Rokuo explained as he put more force into opening the door. Hikari decided to check the door herself. As this is going on, Chieko sense something behind her. She turned her head just time to be flung across the hallway.
"Chieko!" Both Rokuro and Hikari cried out at the same time as they look at the unmoving form of Chieko.
"Hey, Chieko. Are you okay?" Hikari asked as she kneel down at the shook the girl's body.
"...Rok..u.." A voice spoke, causing the fox Faunus to turn his head to see Yuna Ataigawa stumbling towards him, her hands clutching her head.
"Yuna! Are you okay?" Rokuro asked in a worrying a tone of voice.
"Please...you need to stop Yuto..." Yuna said in pain tone of voice.
"Yuto! What has he done?" Rokuro asked, his eyes widening.
"...Kagare..." Yuna said in a low tone of voice.
However, Rokuro managed to hear her. "A Kagare!? There's a Kagare in the dorm?!" Rokuro asked in a shock tone of voice.
However, Yuna shook her head. "I...don't want to turn into a Kagare!" Yuna exclaimed just as a green square with a lines running through it suddenly appeared on her chest.
"What-!" Rokuro thought before backing away suddenly as a black aura suddenly enveloped Yuna. When the black aura disappeared, Yuna has disappeared and in her place is a monstrous creature that has some features belonging to Yuna like her long hair.
"Kukukuku." The newly born Kagare laugh as Rokuro began to back away.
"Yuna...turned into a...Kagare?!" Rokuro asked in a shock tone of voice. The fox Faunus managed to snap out of his shock state when he bump into Hikari.
"We need to run, Hikari. I don't know what is going on, but it's dangerous." Rokuro tried to tell Hikari, glancing at her, however, the girl didn't seem to hear him.
"T-this can't be...happening." Hikari said in a scared tone of voice. It was then that Rokuro fully saw what Hikari is staring at.
Four Kagares are approaching the two and Rokuro saw that Chieko has disappeared, only her glasses remained. However, Rokuro has a feeling where Cheiko has gone as he spotted blood on the floor.
"What is happening to everyone!" Rokuro exclaimed before grabbing Hikari's arm and starting to run, passing the Kagare that Yuna turned into. The Kagare tried to swipe the two children with its claws but missed.
"Where are we going?" Hikari asked, glancing behind her and saw the five Kagare coming after them.
"Finding Yuto. He's somehow involved with this." Rokuro replied as he gained a determined look on his face. After a few minutes of running within the hallways, Rokuro and Hikari arrived at a door. Rokuro kicked the door open with his foot.
"Yuto! What is going on he-!" Rokuro began to shout but stop when he saw Ami Nagoto crouching in a corner, shaking in fear. This is because a Kagare is towering over her.
"Get away from her!" Rokuro exclaimed before letting go of Hikari's arm and dashing towards Ami.
The fox Faunus managed to reach Ami, grab her and get out of the way just in time to avoid getting hit by the Kagare's fist.
"R-Roku? Hikari?" Ami asked, realizing who just saved her.
"Hi, Roku, Hikari. Glad to see that you decided to join us." A voice spoke, causing the both named and Ami to turn their heads see a boy with teal green hair and yellow eyes, wearing white robes.
"Yuto. What is going on here?!" Rokuro growled, glancing at the Kagare slightly. At the moment, the monstrous creature is trying to get it's hand out of the hole that it has made.
"What does it look like? Everyone is turning into Kagares." Yuto explained with a sinister smile on his face.
"And why are you doing this?" Rokuro asked, glaring at Yuto.
"I'm using the residents of Hinatsuki dormitory as ginepigs. I'm using them for an experiment into the Kagare curse." Yuto explained, causing Rokuro to raise an eye-brow, his anger retreating slightly.
"Kagare curse? What's that?" Rokuro asked in a confused tone of voice.
However, Yuto shook his head. "You don't need to know, Roku. At least not right now."Yuto replied, causing anger to explode within the fox Faunus as he charged at Yuto.
"Change the others back to normal, now!" Rokuro said in a threatening tone of voice as he held Yuto by the scruff of neck.
However, Yuto just chuckled, causing Rokuro to growl. "I can't do that Roku. From the information that I gathered about the Kagare curse, once someone undergoes a Kagare curse, there's no way you can turn them back to human." Yuto explained, causing Rokuro to glare at the teal green hair boy.
"R-Roku!" Ami said in a fearful tone of voice, causing the fox Faunus to whip his head around and his eyes widen in horror as he saw the Kagare that had its hand stuck in the wall approaching Hikari and Ami.
It looks like that your friends are in danger." Yuto said with a smirk on his face. Rokuro let go Yuto and ran towards the Kagare that was about to grab the two girls. Thankfully, Rokuro managed to push Hikari and Ami out of the way.
Unfortunately, the Kagare grabbed him instead. "Rokuro!" Both Hikari and Ami exclaimed at the same time.
"It's a good thing I kept a Talisman on me for emergencies." Hikari thought as she took out a while piece of paper from a pocket on her sweater.
"Void-rendering bullet Talisman. Wind blast bullet! Carry without delay!" Hikari announced as the Talisman started to glow before disappearing, leaving markings glowing in the air. Pieces of broken furniture started to glow before floating into the air.
Suddenly, the floating pieces of furniture shot towards the Kagare, hitting it. The caused the Kagare to stumble slightly, shifting his arm that is holding Rokuro slightly away from his mouth.
However, the Kagare managed to bit Rokuro's right arm.
"AAAAAAAA!" Rokuro screamed as pain flooded his body.
"Rokuro!" Both Hikari and Ami exclaimed at the same time, horror present on their faces.
"Hahaha! If you want to be the hero, Rokuro. Then you better be prepared to pay the price." Yuto said with a smirk on his face.
"Let go of Rokuro this instance!" Ami exclaimed before grabbing a piece of a broken chair and dash towards the Kagare. The girl slammed the piece of the chair onto the Kagare, who let go of its hold on Rokuro. Ami managed to drag Rokuro back to Hikari.
"Rokuro! Are you-!" Ami began to asked but stop as she and Hikari saw that Rokuro's right arm has been bitten off up to the elbow.
"I'm...in pain...but...still alive." Rokuro replied weakly, smiling slightly.
"We need to get out of here." Hikari said as she slung Rokuro's left arm over her shoulder. However, it was then that Ami's eyes widen.
"Hikari! Rokuro! Behind you!" Ami shouted, causing the two named to turn their heads and their eyes widen in horror when they saw the Kagare's hand reaching out for them.
"It will go and eat the both of us if we're caught." Hikari thought as she realized that they won't be fast enough to get of the hand's way. Taking a deep breath, Hikari made her decision.
"I'm sorry, Rokuro." Hikari whispered quietly.
"Huh?" Rokuro asked, being able to hear his friend. Hikari let of Rokuro and push him towards Ami.
"Hikari!" Both Rokuro and Ami shouted at the same time as the Kagare's hand took a hold of Hikari. The two watched in horror as the Kagare ate Hikari whole.
"Hikari...why?" The fox Faunus muttered as the Kagare focused it's attention towards him and Ami.
"Come on. We need to get of here." Rokuro said before grabbing Ami and made their way out of the room.
"It doesn't matter where you hide, Roku, Ami. You still going to become part of my experiment." Yuto thought, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
Rokuro and Ami managed to find safety in the training room. "I think...we'll be safe here...for now." Rokuro said as Ami started to find the medical box.
"Don't speak, Rokuro. Save your energy." Ami said as she started to get the bandages out of the medical box.
"We need to find a Scroll and call help." Rokuro explained, causing Ami to nod her head as she started to put the bandages on the fox Faunus's arm. It was then that Rokuro began to laugh bitterly.
"Is there something wrong, Roku?" Ami asked in a confused tone of voice.
"It just that the foxes are supposed to be lucky animals. Look at the nightmare we're in." Rokuro explained, causing Ami to giggle slightly.
"Well. We're still alive, are we?" Ami asked, starting to smile. Rokuro started to smile.
"Yeah. That true." Rokuro replied in a thoughtful tone of voice.
"I wonder what will happen to us? do you think that we might be staying at Seika Doritory to continue our training?" Ami asked, causing Rokuro to hum slightly.
"Possibly. We can see Ryogo again if that happens." Rokuro said, causing Ami to nod her head.
"Yeah. that would be gr-" Ami began to say but stop and her eyes widened.
"Ami! What's wrong?!" Rokuro asked, becoming extremely worried.
"It looks like that...I won't survive the nightmare." Ami replied and Rokuro's eyes widen in horror as he looked down to see a green square on Ami's chest.
"No...Not you too." Rokuro said in a scared tone of voice.
"Don't...worry. I'm...not going to be...turned into...a Kagare." Ami said in a pain tone of voice as she started to make her way towards a table where a Exorcist sword and a Talisman lay. Rokuro began to realize what the girl is planning to do.
"Ami! Don't!" Rokuro exclaimed as he dash towards Ami, who already activated the Talisman.
"I'm sorry, Rokuro. But this...is the better...option." Ami said in a sad tone of voice as she held the glowing blue to her chest.
"Please, Ami. Please don't." Rokuro pleaded as tears threaten to came out of his eyes. Ami's skin started to produce a black aura and turning into a blackish colour.
"I Want to say that I have crush on you. Goodbye, Rokuro." Ami said as tears started to come out her eyes. Before Rokuro could say anything, Ami stabbed herself with the sword and her body started to disintegrate.
The crimson eyes fox Faunus started to cry.
"Ami..." Rokuro muttered as his tears fall onto the ground. It was then that the door that Rokuro and Ami barred burst opening, revealing the Kagare that use to be Rokuro's friends.
Rokuro glare at them with tear stained eyes. "AAAAA!" Rokuro roared before grabbing Ami's fallen sword with his still intact arm before charging towards the Kagare.
"I wonder if Ami's transformation was a success?" Yuto thought from his place outside Hinatsuki dormitory, the building now being destroyed and flames licked the ruins.
"I should probably get out of here soon. This pace would be overrun by the Grimm." Yuto thought before an idea came into his head.
"Maybe a I could use the Grimm as my next subjects. I wonder how powerful a Kagare/Grimm hybrid will-!" Yuto began to thought before seeing a figure coming out of the burning ruins.
"Hmm? Who's this?" Yuto muttered before properly seeing the person.
"Roku! Glad to see that your still alive. How's Ami?" Yuto asked with a smile on his face. However, Rokuro glared at him.
"She's dead. And all the Kagare have been exorcised." Rokuro replied in an angry tone of voice as Yuto noticed the state that Rokuro is in along with the sword.
"Impressive. You managed to exorcise the Kagare with one arm." Yuto commented whilst clapping his hands together.
"YUTOOOO!" Rokuro roared before charging at Yuto.
The teal green hair boy managed to duck under the sword swing that Rokuro was aiming at his head.
"Heh. Your dead set on fighting me, despite the state that you're in." Yuto said before punching Rokuro in the stomach, causing the fox Faunus to stumble backwards.
However, that didn't stop Rokuro from attacking the teal green hair boy again. However, Yuto kicked the fox Faunus in the waist before disarming him.
"I would love to prolong this fight, but this place will soon be swarming with the Grimm, and I don't fancy dealing with the Grimm now." Yuto said as he kicked Rokuro, sending him flying backwards towards the flaming building.
"Seya." Yuto said before starting to walk away.
"Where are you...going, coward?" Rokuro asked as he slowly got himself up off the ground.
"I've already told you, didn't I?" Yuto pointed out before sighing.
"You know. I was planning on letting you go, thinking that you will be entertaining in the future, but I changed my mind." Yuto said before taking out a cut-out person made out of paper. Rokuro's eyes widen in horror as he realizes what Yuto is planning as the teal green hair boy started to chant.
"Don't-" Rokuro began to say but stop as a searing pain erupted in his chest.
"Gah!" Rokuro exclaimed as he fall onto his knees.
"Is this...how...I die?" Rokuro thought as he gritted his teeth together.
"I guess that I won't be seeing my family again." Rokuro thought as tears started to leak out of his eyes.
"I was hoping to find information about my real family when I was older." Rokuro thought, thinking how Yang is doing something similar with finding her biological mother.
A thin black aura started to came out of Rokuro's body. "Let see if your change into a Kagare like the others, Roku." Yuto said with a smirk on his face. As the pain became to much for Rokuro to handle, the fox Faunus started to glow red.
"What the?! Is that his Aura?" Yuto thought in a confused tone of voice as he started at Rokuro.
"It doesn't matter if he unlocked his Aura. That won't protect Rokuro against the Kagare curse." Yuto thought, getting over his confused tone of voice.
However, it was then that Rokuro's red Aura started to glow white and the green square in his chest changed into a Seiman pentagram (a star symbol).
"W-what is happening to me?" The fox Faunus thought as started to realize that the pain is slowly disappearing.
It was then that Rokuro started to feel a strange sensation on his right side, causing the fox Faunus to look at his right arm. Both he and Yuto became shock when they saw that a new arm is forming.
"W-what!?" Yuto exclaimed in a shock tone of voice before noticing the new arm. The arm wasn't a human arm, it was a Kagare arm which is red in colour and has scales with yellow markings.
Both boys started at the arm before Yuto began to laugh. "Yes. Yes! After so many failed attempts, I've managed to successfully turn a human into a Kagare without losing their humanity!" Yuto exclaimed in an excited tone of voice.
With Rokuro, the fox Faunus is flexing the finger of his new arm.
"What...is this?" Rokuro muttered as he examines his new Kagare arm. However, the curiosity that filled Rokuro started to disappear and filled with hate as the fox Faunus began to glare at Yuto.
"Why didn't I fully change into a Kagare like the other?!" Rokuro demanded as Yuto looked at him with a small frown on his face.
"I really don't know, Roku. I guess you got lucky. Heh. It makes sense since you're a fox Faunus." Yuto replied as Rokuro started to growl.
"Why you!" Rokuro roared before charging at Yuto.
"Seriously? This getting a bit boring." Yuto said as he prepared to punch Rokuro again. However, the teal green hair boy became surprise when Rokuro quickly disappeared and appeared behind him.
"What the-?" Yuto exclaimed as he turned his head, just in time for Rokuro to punch him right in the face. This cause him to be sent flying into the burning ruins.
"So much...power." Yuto thought before disappearing into the flames. Rokuro panted heavily before collapsing onto his knees.
"Is it...over?" Rokuro muttered before losing conciseness and falling onto the ground.
And there we have it, the Hinatsuki tragedy. For those we have read the manga of Twin Star Exorcists, I'm sorry if I haven't written it accurately. By this point, I believe that Rokuro is eleven, I think. Anyway, please comment and until next time, everyone.
