Chapter 4 - The Festival Part 1

Four years ago that day my everything got changed. Whenever i remember that day, I got emotional. If i reached there soon i could save my dad or if i didn't helped that child... or i just never went to school my dad could be saved. My mother left me when i was born. My dad was the one who took care of me. When i got my powers i still felt the same because my friends were dying. It would be all nice if i wasn't even bor-

"Stop thinking so loud fool" a voice came from behind

I looked backwards it was the wind kitsune

"Whenever you are sad you sit near the river yeah, am i right ?" The Wind Kitsune said

"Yeah, you are right" Shinjiro said

"Oh! come on. Don't be sad. Do you know what's today ?" The Wind Kitsune asked

"Umm.. Thursday ?" Shinjiro said

"Yeah it's Thursday and ?" Wind Kitsune said

"Umm i don't know" Shijiro said

"It's the New year festival !" Wind Kitsune said

"Oh yeah, i forgot how another year just passed" Shinjiro

"You are annoying. By the way your friends told me that they are waiting for you." Wind Kitsune said

"Huh ? When ? Where ?" Shinjiro said

"What i will get..." The wind kitsune

"You were not like that ! okay what about a candy" Shinjiro

"Am i a kid to you ?" The wind Kitsune

"Then what you need ?" Shinjiro

"Accept the letter" The wind Kitsune

"What letter ?" Shinjiro

"Wait, do you even check your mailbox today ?" The Wind Kitsune

"No, i was in a hurry." Shinjiro

"Go home and check the mailbox." The Wind Kitsune

"But where ar-" Shinjiro

"Your friends are at your home" The Wind Kitsune

At shinjiro 's home -

"Did he even gave him the message ? He is late." Lily said

"Maybe ? I don't know" Daniel said

"You don't even ca-"

Door open "thud" Shinjiro enter the house while holding the letter

"I'm home" Shinjiro said

"Welcome ba-" Lily said

"What you are holding ?" Daniel said

"Hey, You didn't even let me fini-" Lily said

"Oh ! this, I don't even know Ozamu Takimoto send me that" Shinjiro

"Do you mean the Wind Kitsune ?" Daniel

"Ye-" Shinjiro

"HOLD ON ! Let me finish my talk. You guys are ignoring me ? That's not fair" Lily

"You should open the letter" Daniel

"Ya, I'm thinking so" Shinjiro

"Okay, if you don't care about me i'm going !" Lily left the Shinjiro's home

"Why she left ?" Shinjiro

"I don't know" Daniel

As Shinjiro started to pull the letter out of the envelope the door open again "thud". Lily peek out of door and say " Are you not coming to the festival or not ?"

"Okay okay let's go" Daniel said

Shinjiro leave the envelope at the table and move out the home with Lily and Daniel

"It's still 3 hour's left until the festival start so why you called us ?" Daniel said

"Just follow me" Lily said

In the path we saw the bulletin board saying -

Today is the biggest day the 'New Year Festival'. The event will start on 7pm. Everyone can come to the festival. but sadly because of the demon sightings our forest and spirit kitsune will be out so we only have Wind Kitsune to protect us. Some people are still trying to find the Fire Kitsune. There will be some soldier's protecting the tent from inside will be there hidden as normal people. So even if we got attack we could evacuate the people inside the tent. People are buying and wearing kimonos these days a lot. let's-

"They should not write this in the bulletin board what if a demon saw it" Shinjiro said

"What are you blabbering there? come fast we have to go" Lily said

We were just moving towards straight for 35 minutes then lily said "Okay We are here"

It was a nice view a cherry blossom tree on the top of the mountain the pink leaves. A little pond where ducks were swimming. The clouds were floating in the sky birds were singing. It was a nice view.

"It's my favorite place i like this place the most" Lily said

"Wow it's so nice" Daniel said

Lily sat under the cherry blossom tree and started to play the violin. Daniel went to the peak of the mountain and said "I'm the Kin-" Suddenly the rock he was standing on broke and then... he was falling down from 2000 meter height.

"You are not a King but a fool !" Shinjiro said

"Daniel !!" LIiy said

I jumped down the cliff and wore the Fire kitsune mask. I started a trail of fire in my hands to boost me with speed but the wind was so heavy that my flame went down. Suddenly the violin string ?? yes the violin string came down at the speed of lightning and caught Daniel. When i looked up it was Lily wearing the Music Kitsune mask. I use my fire power to land down safely.

"Hello can you please pull me too i don't wanna walk again !" Shinjiro shouted

"Okay !!" Lily said

Lily used her violin strings to pull me up. I wonder if a violin string is that powerful to grab a person.

"You fool ! See where you step first." Shinjiro

"Oye oye I was careful but the rock wasn't. What happened to you Lily ?" Daniel

"YOU FOOL IF YOU EVER DO THIS AGAIN I WILL NOT CATCH YOU !!" Lily saying this while being the goddess of anger and music elements.

"ehhe...ehe...." Daniel Said

"We should leave now. There's only some time left until the festival starts" Shinjiro said

"Okay let's go" Lily said

We were walking down the mountain. It was nearly 7pm and the sky was black. We moved down and saw a giant tent shining with lights the door was quite beautifully decorated. I remembered those day's when i came here with my dad.

"Dad, i want that candy" kid Shinjiro said

"Okay son, i will buy you lot's of candies" Shinjiro's dad said

"Wow, You are awesome dad !"

"Hmh What a fool you were" A voice came from behind

"Huh ?" Shinjiro looked behind and saw Wind kitsune "Hey what are you doing in my mind ?"

"I'm air and i can enter everywhere." the Wind kitsune said

"Get Out !" Shinjiro started shaking his head

"Go enjoy the festival i will be protecting the place" The wind kitsune

"Are you not coming" Shinjiro

"It's my duty i can't take a break. If i told them you are the fire kitsune you would be doing the same as me so enjoy." The Wind kitsune

"Okay and yea-" Shinjiro

"I don't have time. Sorry" the wind kitsune left after saying this

"He left hmm..." Shinjiro

I entered the tent. It was like heaven. The smell of stall food it was like i'm in heaven. The people were buying stuff. Children were playing around. Suddenly a boy that had only 1 hand came to me and said "Nice to meet you"

"Do i know you ? Your face looks similar. I saw it so-" Shinjiro said

"You are the one who protected me when demon eat my hand" the boy said

"Oh ya i remember. What's your name" Shinjiro

"My name is Jiro Shimizu." the boy said

"My name's Shinjiro -" Shinjiro said

"Hey Shinjiro ! Where were you ?" Daniel came and asked

"I was just here outside and ya by the way he's Jiro i protected him at the mountain." Shinjiro said

"Nice to meet you i'm Daniel." Daniel said

"Nice to meet you i'm Lily." Lily said

"Nice to meet you both."

"HEY ! Shinjiro !" a voice came from behind

The Wind kitsune came and said "Hey ! Shinjiro there were some demon sightings nearby we should go and check out.

"Wait a minute, are you -" Jiro said

"Yes, I'm the Fire Kitsune. See ya later." Shinjiro said

The Wind Kitsune said to follow me so i followed him. We were running like a ninja our arm's were behind. We stopped at the river. I said "Where is the demon ?"

"Don't you see it ? Look in the water" The Wind Kitsune said

When i looked in the water i saw the reflection of the wind kitsune was actually a demon when i looked towards him he was a demon with a horn on his head right side. He pushed me into the water but i grabbed his leg and pulled him in the river too.

"Who are you ?" Shinjiro said

"Do i look like a bull to you ? I'm a demon !" the demon said

"Where is the Wind Kitsune ?" Shinjiro

"Oh ! he ? i just gave him some sleeping pills mixed into the water he will wake up soon.. let.. me go" The demon said

I tried to attack him with my fire but i was in under water.

"What you want ?" Shinjiro asked

"Don't worry you all be dead soon. There is a army coming towards the festival and your special guest... The Big One !"
