I got out of my cab. It seems like the meeting is being held at the Tsuchimiya compound. It's a large traditional Japanese house. Looks amazing if I may add.
I see other Vanquishers and other families that I've seen through out my years.
"Oh! I recognize that blue jacket. You've grown, Takara." I hear a male voice behind me.
I guess people remember me most for my navy blue jacket. I hold my thunderbolt knives in it for when I'm on duty, they're engraved with seals obviously or else they'll be useless against the phantoms. And why navy blue? It's my favorite color that's why.
I face the opposite direction and see Uncle Naraku.
"Nice to see you again, Uncle." I said delighted.
"Nice to see you too, Takara. You've gotten so tall. How old are you now? Twelve if I'm not mistaken."
"Haha, I'm thirteen now." I grinned.
He leans on his cane and unhappily say, "That means I'm getting older too."
I laugh a little then looked around. The only people I recognize are Uncle Naraku and Uncle Yuu with cousin Mei. Those two were already heading inside.
"Yomi couldn't come?" I asked him when I didn't see her.
"I believe she's searching for Kagura somewhere." He says.
"Kagura?" I asked. That's a name I don't know.
"She's the daughter of Master Tsuchimiya." Oh, so that's her name. He continues his talk, "Speaking of Kagura, I've decided on adopting her."
Knowing the situation and what having one parent is like, I didn't question it, and plus it's very nice that he did.
"You're so kind, Uncle." I said honestly. Though he did call my mom to get a 110% of me coming here…
I sat next to Uncle Naraku on his right with Uncle Yuu and Mei on his left. The other exorcist families were sitting in front of us.
Uncle Naraku then started speaking. "As you are all aware, our most recent task was partially difficult. It was devastating in fact, to our clan of Vanquishers and to everyone who resides among us.
Everyone bowed in respect for the dead.
After we all put our heads back up, he continued. "In the end, all of the phantoms were eliminated. But unfortunately, Master Tsuchimiya's wife passed away on to the next world."
It must've been hard for both Kagura and Master Tsuchimiya, I thought while thinking about when my mother and me tried to recover from the death of father.
"At the moment, Master Tsuchimiya is performing the sealing ritual with the spirit eater he inherited from his wife. When he completes the ritual, Byakuei will be permanently bound to his soul."
Can a person who's not a Tsuchimiya blood even survive that? I also thought.
After the meeting, I start walking around the compound. Uncle Naraku will be put in charge of looking over the branch family since Master Tsuchimiya will be put in the frontlines from now on because he has Byakuei.
I wonder when I'll get to meet Kagura. As a member of the clan, I need to do as much as I can to help her prepare for when she'll inherit the spirit eater. From what Uncle told me, she's ten years old.
"Since your father will be a lot busier now, we think you should live at our place for awhile." Said a voice outside. It sounded very familiar.
"Please to meet you, Kagura." I walk to the opened sliding door and see someone with jet-black hair. Yup, that's Yomi. She's with an adorable little girl, who I believe must be Kagura, sitting in front of the pond.
"Finally, I found you." I said crossing my arms.
Yomi turned around, then had the biggest surprised look on her face. "Ah, Takara, when did you get here?" She got up from where she was sitting and opened up her arms for a hug.
I happily accepted the hug. "Just a few minutes ago." I replied.
After our small reunion, I asked her, "And, this cute little girl must be Kagura?"
Yomi smiled happily. "That's right."
So, she's the 28th heir of Byakuei…
Yomi then directed me to her. "Kagura, this is Takara, my cousin. She is the youngest of the Isayama family."
"She?" The little girl said quietly.
Both of our faces gave a sign of surprise. Yomi laughed and I just gave a small snicker.
"I know I don't look like much, but I can assure you that I am a girl. I just didn't hit pu-"
I froze then started to blush.
"Pu-" Come on I can say it.
"Puber-, I just didn't hit my growth spurt yet." I said, changing my sentence.
Yomi laugh again at my embarrassed face and Kagura gave a smile. I would agree that I don't have much appearance as a female. My hair goes to the nape of my neck and I have no bust at all…yet. But I'm built for speed, so who needs a bust, am I right?
Hope you enjoyed. This chapter was pretty short, so I was able to upload it quicker. Speaking of chapters, I realized while making this, that my "art" that I'll be making to go a long with this story will make updating a problem. You see, when I draw, it takes awhile. So what I want to know is if you guys want me to make these "art" or just go ahead and post the chapters?
