Chapter 20

A Chapter by Weeping Willow

Soul power

The next day Haku, Risa and Aiko are getting ready for the changing interform. Risa is disappointed that she has to work hard to colour her soul.

“So what CS is Aiko?” Risa asks

“I already told you her colour, but her name is still unknown.” Haku replies

“But her name is Aiko.” Risa says picking up some wood

“We are born with two names, our given name and our real name. My given name is Haku but my real name is Pain.” Haku says walking to Aiko

“We’re already,” Aiko says sitting in the middle of what appears to be a circle. “I won’t be long,”

“Take as much time as you need, this isn’t a race you have to talk to your soul if something goes wrong.” Haku says as Aiko falls asleep, a few hours later Aiko wakes up

“What the toll?” Aiko asks

“I can’t tell you that or you may become like Blood red spider.” Haku says cleaning up, the girls help him clean as they think what the toll.

Not far away, Ai is in small wooden cabin just outside sector 26. She walks towards the window and see a spider

“So you’re still keeping an eye on me?” she says put the spider on her hand “just so you know if you’ve hurt Aiko or anyone of her sisters I’ll kill you myself. And that’s a promise.” She kills the spider and looks out the window

“Why can’t things be simpler?” Hiroshi says walking through the door, Ai looks at him

“This Risa girl is she?” Ai asks but Hiroshi intercepts her

“If so would we be talking?”

“So it’s Aiko, the girl who can’t even pick a sword without hurting herself.” Ai replies

“If I recall you can’t use a sword either.” Hiroshi says

“But I don’t need one with you and Takeru; I don’t need to use my soul power.” Ai says sitting down, the room goes silent.

“You know why I’ve always wanted a dog.” Hiroshi finally says “Because they can keep secrets and they won’t tell. I could tell a dog who I love or what I’m going to do next and he would never tell. But the dog isn’t the person I need to tell these things, it’s you.”
