But I do own my OCs
Prologue Part 2
Event after event, some good and some bad. I gained a friend, well to the head house she's suppose to be servant assistant; but I will never view her as
such. Growing up just studying and practicing being Clan leader, never gave me the free time to make friends nor seeing kids my age. I was eight at the time, I
was in my room, nose in mounds of papers, reviewing lessons. My door slid open, "Miss," I looked up to see one of the older servants, behind her was
someone hiding. "Your mother has assigned you someone to accompany you and assist you whenever you need." I stared at the young girl behind her, she
seemed to tremble a bit and clenching the woman's robes. I still stared at her. She seemed to be my age, her yukata abit ragged and dirty along with the rest
of her. Her short length brown hair hiding her eyes, it was matted and dirty as well. I stared at her, slightly confused. Surround by adults, I never seen another
child like me, I was curious. But what made me more curious was why was she dirty and trembling. I nodded to the older woman. The woman gently freed the
girl's hand from her robes, "Little one, fear not. Everything will be fine." She patted her head and left. After a few minutes of silence, I slowly approached her.
"Umm...hey.." Suddenly the girl was quickly on her knees head bowed. I stared at her dumbfounded, what is with her? And what's wrong with me? I hardly
don't know how to react to a girl, I don't know to say or what should I ask. Her presence was making me uncomfortable, this feeling was hard for me to
describe. Shyness? Possibly. I looked at her, she was really dirty. After a thought, I grabbed her hand and pulled her to another room. She stiffen at the touch,
"Miss?" I opened the door, "If you are staying with me and accompanying me, You can't be dirty. Plus I'm sure you don't want to be like this." Inside was a
vast wooden tub with oils and soap, by it was a rinsing area with lots of towels and wash bowls. The girl stared in awe. "Come on, I'll take one with you" She
showed her where to undress. Once that was done we went to rinse. "Here, You may need help washing" I said as I grabbed a wash bowl and oils. I poured
the water over her and noticed the dirt running from her hair, turning a lighter shade of brown. After a couple more bowls, I poured some oils onto her hair and
started lathering. "Umm...Miss?" said the girl, I answered to showed I was listening, "Why are you so kind to me?" she said. I stopped in mid-washing her hair,
wondering about her question. She seemed to noticed my reaction, "I'm sorry, that was stupid to ask." I resumed to the washing, "What's your name?" "It's
Ayumi, Miss" she said. "Close your eyes Ayumi, I'm gonna rinse your hair" I poured the water, "And cut it out with the 'Miss' business, you don't have to call me
that. I'm not interested in a servant, but I would appreciate your help on things and your company" Ayumi turned to me, "Like a friend?" I stared at her,
"Friend? what is that?". She took the bowl from me, "I'll help you with your hair," After we swapped, she cleaned my hair, rinsed and we went to the tub to
soak. "Do you really don't know what a friend is?" Ayumi asked, I shook my head. "Well, a friend is someone you like to be around and trust. And share things
with one another, something like that" she said, "You don't have any?". I shook my head again, "I only have my mother and father, and I rarely talk to anyone
else" We stood quiet for some time, then I ask, "Why were you dirty in the first place?" Ayumi told me her story how her family were too poor and they had no
choice and sold her. She was sold as a worker at an herb farm. How she barely got by and if she didn't work hard enough, she would get beaten. So she made
an escape. Then founded by the head clan's servants, and bought here. We got out the tub and dried up. What I discovered is that Ayumi had light brown hair
instead of dark brown and she had big dark moss colored eyes. She was gonna grab her yukata, but I stopped her, "What was the point of a bath if you are
putting back on something dirty. I'll let you use my sleeping robes" We dressed and set out to the large bed. Ayumi looked uneasy, "I thought I was going to
the sleep at the servant quarters?" I stared at how dark it was outside, "Well it's late, tonight you can sleep here." We settled ourselves in and stood quiet.
"Thank you." came Ayumi's voice. "Huh," I said. "In a way, I'm very happy this happened, so thank you" I smiled and snuggled into my sheets, "You're
welcome. I'm glad too, otherwise I wouldn't have meet my first friend."
Then after that, my parents discover something. My bloodline continued in me. Quite a shock for everyone, double for my mother. I was practicing with my
father in the garden, intense it was, I was putting my all while my father hardly broke a sweat. As I was focusing my energy to a final low kick and strike,
something felt unusual. Like a renew energy and strength flowed in me. Finally I launched my attack, it all happened too fast. Water from the pond in the
garden flowed by me, my low kick turned to a small wave that made my father lose balance, and my strike to stomach was followed by a small pillar of water. I
gasped as the water fell around the garden, "What was that...what did I do?". My father stared at me, "...t-the bloodline.." I looked at my father, "What?" He
pulled me into house and found my mother, "Kyouko, our daughter.." he began. My mother stared in confusion, "What Ren? And why are you drenched?" My
father said in a serious tone, "Kyouko, she can use the bloodline" Silence followed by eyes staring at me."Be serious, it's not possible..." my mother began,
"You know it is true, you know this bloodlines history very well and know there's a small probable chance girls can inherit this, your father told you this" My
mother seemed uneasy, "How did you find out she can use this". It was my father's turn to look uneasy, "Well, we were sparring..." My mother's eyes
widened, "Sparring?! Ren what's the meaning of this?!" I stepped in this time, "It's not Father's fault, I begged him to teach me" My mother shook her head,
"Do you realised the trouble you will be if this is found out, it's Law" I looked at her, "I know, but I wanted to learn, it's something I love" My mother sighed,
"No more sparring, but you need to learn to control your new power. We have records of teachings to help you use it, so you need to study it" I nodded. My
mother was getting ready to leave, "I'm needed at the Head Council, we are not to say a word of this nor have a repeat" So Father and I stop our lessons,
"It's okay, you pretty much learn almost everything I know, so it was bound to end." I sighed, "I guess," My father ruffled my hair, "At least you will learn
something new"
Few years laters, we traveled to the edge of the island to visit my Father's brother. My parents, Ayumi and I settle into the home while my uncle informed us,
"Brother, a small part of the clan been acting peculiar." "How so?" said my Father. My uncle eyed me and Ayumi, "It's quite a delicate subject, perhaps we,
along with Kyouko, discuss this in the other room" My parent's got up, my father smiled at me, "We'll be back" and left. I was left with Ayumi and decided to
explore the other rooms. "Who's this" said Ayumi, I saw a picture frame at the table she was staring. An old woman smiling in the picture between my father
and uncle. "That's my grandmother, she still lives outside the island, sometimes visits us. I hardly remember her, but I met her." We wander outside to the
beach that was close to the home, playing by the water and collecting shells. "So are you controlling your bloodline pretty well?" asked Ayumi, wiggling her
toes in the sand. I stared at the ocean, "Better than before, so accidents won't happen again, but I practiced a few things that could be useful," Ayumi
nodded, "It"s crazy, the bloodline to control water in their three forms, that's could be powerful" I managed a half smile, "Only if I was allowed to," Ayumi
patted my shoulder to comfort me. "I'm alright," I smiled at her. As we made our way back, Father was waiting outside. "Ayumi, could you help Kyouko, she's in
a bit of a bind" She nodded and disappeared to the house. I stared at my father, "What is it?" I asked, "It has to be important if you sent Ayumi away," My
father sighed, "We been having some riots out here to change the Law, it's spreading. But you know the Head Council will not hear this, it will always be this
way like generations before" I crossed my arms in thought, "That is troublesome, but the Head Council should take this as a sign for change, Everything out
there is changing while we stay the same, it's not fair. Father even you wanted to promote this change." My father gave me a reassuring smile, "I do, but I am
an outsider, I can only accept their ways". "Then what's going to happen, what are we going to do?" I asked as Father got up, turning to return to the house.
As he was going to answer, a loud explosion was heard on the other side, my mother's scream was heard and I heard Ayumi, "KIRA!"
Alas, her name is revealed. Her full name is Kira Takashima from the Takashima Clan. I'm proud I wrote a lot more than the last one, on a side note, she was
11 when she discover her bloodline passed in her, and above is 14. I'll post the next one in awhile, Thanks for reading. Reviews please, show some love! Or
whatever you like, to know if I should keep writing.
