Arc 1- Chapter 5: End of the Beginning.

The Colossus release an pressure it can blow anything away but it slow us down. And the moment we get closer we get sucked toward the colossus. Each swipe of a tentacle destroy a sckycrapper and the orb swallow everything, I am not programmed to fear dead but the pressure keep built up. Moving forward and die is what my mirror reflect Shiro mind. 

"I am so scared, it is hopeless, what happen if this is a god bring judgement down to us."

"You are not alone Shiro."

"Don't forget we are god too, humans create gods, the sacred artifact we carry, they are gods all except me."

"Sousuke... Raku... I understand now, I can be brave as long as you guys stay right next to me. Let's do this, restore Shinjuku and go back home."

We attack the Colossus, its attack is furious, I use my power to turn myself into a decoy, I leave the finishing blow to you guys, Sousuke and Shiro. Even they seem hopeless or give up, I will be your inspiration, let's me be the hope for you guys. 

"No... don't touch him."

But it is too late, the colossal know it and swing to tentacles to them. I dash toward them and cover three of us with glasses, I can relieve the impact but the attack is too powerful so I start to lose conscious.

"No Rake, we have made to this far we will take back our city, our friend and our future. 

Role of the Gatekeeper

Rule of Ressurection"

"Role of the Wanderer

Rule of Rending"

"Cosmic Terror"

"Boundless Tail"

All I see left is a light, the light and Sousuke kissed Shiro, and again the feeling of falling down.

"The creation is perfect, no error detected."

"You may speak."

"Good day I say, Creator."

"Marvelous, start the memory wipe and prepare the paper."

I wake up and we made back to Shinjuku Station. 

"Is everything back to normal? What happened to everyone. Wait my phone has a call."

On Shiro's phone screen is Ryota.

"I finnaly got through! What've you been up to all night? It's already morning!"

"Mr Motoori! Sousuke! And Raku! Staying out overnight is an inexcusable offense"

"I'm glad you're okay. Now hurry on back!"

And not just Mr jinn and Mr Triton but Mr Mononobe too. 

"Hurry back all of you three should be prepared for a little scolding."

"I thought you were just some irresponsible brats... but you managed to right your own wrongs. Hand over the phone."

"And why should we, if you threatening them again, I will cause an Exception can swallow all of Tokyo and erase it from the map. You shouldn't test my temper deary child. Even if the life of million people in danger but they correct your error so give them a chance."

"So another incident happen. This will be a warning."

I whisper into Toji's ears.

"Don't worry you should beware the lady on the stage."

The sun rise again a new day in Tokyo began again a new day with new hope, Sousuke and Shiro holding hand but we should get back now and something strange I see it now Shiro's smile.

                                   Bonus: The mirror reflect the love of a Canine Warrior.

I will always keep my promise, 2 days after the Shinjuku incident is the duel with Moritaka, I promise to myself that i will wake up sooner than any normal day. A sound from the dorm no behind the dorm but in the dorm all i can heard is absolute silence, maybe there are some snore but other than that not even a small sound of whispering. All i can do is follow that small sound until I can find I end up in a strange hill, but the hill is surrounded with bamboo so it is pretty scary because I heard stories about people get lost in the bamboo forest. The closer I walk to the louder the sound become.

"Sei!"

I wonder who could this be, maybe another kendo club member. Along with the voice is the sword swung with great strength and passion. In the middle of the bamboo forest wear a kendo uniform is Moritaka after all, after 10 times like that, Moritaka start to let out a big breath and put his shinai.

"I didn't see you there Raku-dono how long have you been here?"

"Shake."

"Woof woof. I did that again even I am not dog..."

"So I guess this is apart of your training right ? You work really hard."

"Oh, of course. It is my mourning routine, wake up then run along the riverbank and do 100 swing. It was my childhood routine so I cannot calm down if I am not do it everyday. And what about you Raku-dono, why are you getting up so soon."

I quickly sat next to Moritaka and pull him down and start to play with his ears when we talk.

"I still remember our our promise about a duel so I want to prepare for it, I don't want to let you down."

"Woof... don't do it so hard, my ears are sensitive. But what about your wound from 2 days ago. I heard from Sousuke that you get hurt really bad."

"Don't worry too much about it. My skull really tough I won't break that easy. You know why I am always like doing this to you. Because I guess I can say I like you, not the type of like like Kengo likes to duel with you."

"You mean... love. But you are and I am..."

"I know that but I can't help but feeling like this."

"I am really lonely when I have your duel request I am really happy, I felt something inside me too. Before our duel let's have breakfast is that good."

"I think you must be tired."

We go to the cafeteria for a breakfast, moment like this I think I want to listen to dateless bar old adam, it sound really great for moment like this, actually a track in it old bar adam is the best. But for a moment Ryota come in the cafeteria I guess he is a part of here too.

"G'Morningh... so sleepy... Huh? There's something you don't see everyday. "

"Good morning, Ryouta-dono. "

"Today breakfast is grilled salmon but I guess something else is better for me, I guess I will take an European breakfast. It mean I have to make it myself."

"Grilled salmon sounds good. Cooking rice in the morning's too much work."

"Ryouta-dono, you have too much white rice again..."

"We have duel today so I can't eat too much."

"A duel with Raku if i remember so you guys are going to do that today !"

"Yes. Raku wants that too so we should get going."

We walk out of the cafeteria and we head to the dojo. We train till noon.

"Whaa..!"

"What's wrong. mind to share it with me."

"I forgot the lunch I prepare. I left it back in the dorm room."

"Please share the lunch with me, I won't feel bother."

"But I can't do that it would be bothersome to Raku-dono."

"If you don't share it with me I will be really sad."

"If you say so then I will do it as long as you are happy."

We share the lunch, the portion I made is not called big but it is enough, but is just perfect.

"Raku I want to tell you about my old world. It is called the land Wa, it is a place where the border of life and death really thin. War happen everyday, when I arrived to this world I wasn't care about the act of know about someone but everyone is so kind to me so I want to protect them. Not for me but for Yoshiro who passed before me, and for Father who give me his last word and his sword. Father's last word is: "This is a sword you shall devote to the lord you will serve." So I will become a samurai to serve the person I called as a lord."

"Draw your sword, to understand each other it is the best way, I maybe not the lord you are looking for but I will always love you no matter what. That is my answer."

I use rapier and Moritaka take out his sword or his sacred artifact so I am on the weak side now but I remember one thing even a little man can slay the giant so why I can't. Battle with grace and skill, I believe I can win. Find all the weakpoint of my opponent and strike that is the basic of fencing, the duel last longer than ever I still have more stamina because the basic of fencing is keeping stamina. But before a sacred artifact my chance of winning is so low, I have to bet. Moritaka's sword start to shine up with blue light, this is my chance go all or go home.

"Devourer of demons, Frozen Ice Sword!"

Moritaka slash down a wave of ice is direct to my spot but this is the bet I take because he use the scared artifact so his guard is down.

"I think I win this game Moritaka."

"How?"

My rapier point right in front of him. This game is too risky and I almost lose.

"You are really good but when you unleash the ice sword your guard is down and you didn't notice that attack hit an illusion and from that I attack."

"That movement and that mind, you are truly graceful and resolute."

The dusk come when we open the dojo door, the sunlight paint the horizon red and all I see is crimson. Me and Moritaka walk back to the dorm.

"After all that, I never reached a conclusion. And I have been too idle today. What excuse would I have to my parents in the other world? I must fulfill their wishes as soon as I can. Tomorrow, tomorrow..."

"Don't think like that, parents wish is to see the smile on their children face not the burden they carry and just take it slow, you just can't go too fast on something like this. I may not be the lord you are looking for but I am sure one thing, I will be stay right next to you to cheer you on. If you are in trouble just come to me."

"Raku-dono."

"Please just Raku is alright."

"Thank you for help me settle my mind, It shouldn't be forced. It still need more training before I can find a lord. If Raku become my lord no it shouldn't be like that..."

"Good boy, Moritaka."

"Woof woof... I did that again.... But please I want to be next to you too."

Moritaka and I hold each other hand we walk in the dusk and the sunlight paint the world in crimson at least on this Tokyo I can't find my dream or my future but I know one thing. I can have hope.
