Also last but not least I'd like to thank you thank you all for staying by this story for the long haul. I know that the releases are a bit... *clears throat* ahem, not that consistent but thank you for supporting it non-the-less. By the time I'm writing this chapter we hit 50 likes. I'm happy that you guys like my story
I'm gonna wrap this little charter arch up within the next chapter or so and then start to transition to the next one.
And to celebrate this 50 like milestone I'll be hosting a Q&A\AMA with my charters (that's if I get a fair amount of questions that is) so leave your questions below in the comments for me or any of the charters.
The charters of Naruto belong to Kishimoto exept Eileen, Mikomo, and the Tsuigami clan
Again sorry for the long wait and long author's note I have a mix of working on other stories, a period of writers block and just living my life outside of this platform, I hope you guys understand
Okay that's all of my announcements onto the story
We got back to town, Neko passed out and Cas ending up hauling him back. Let's just say when we got back to their house miss Mika wasn't to glad to see our lateness. After we took care of Neko we then were forced to spill our guts to the older woman...And might I add that she is a nice lady but can be helluva beast when put off edge. She wasn't mad that we're late all too much but angered at the fact that Orochimaru ambushed their family shrine and possibly stole something important to them…Or that's the vibe I'm getting.
"Uhm, if I may ask how is this particular item valuable to you." I awkwardly said cutting the tense silence the two created.
"Ancient and unguarded doesn't make a good combination." The older woman murmered to herself "It holds our history, I don't know what he would what with something lie that."
"Could be about any reason with him." Cas muttered "Then why did he want with Neko?"
"For his little science experiment, whatever that was." he hissed in disdan
The older woman bobbled her head in agreement and then dismissed the conversation for the night but insisted I stay behind for she wanted to talk to me about something, a bit more personal.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked, sitting back down.
"Well it might be a little weird coming from me but I know a thing or two you might find inserting."
"What do you mean exactly?" I said with a tilt of my head. She gave me an analyzing look as if scanning me from head to toe "uh..." I returned a perplexed look, slightly confused at the moment.
"Oh, sorry" She replied coming out of the trance she was in. She then got up and opened a trunk that was sitting in the corner of the room then walked back with a small scroll in hand, placing on the table that sat in between "I knew when I saw those eyes that I knew you were one of them." She said making me even more confused.
"Uh, may I ask WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!...No disrespect."
"A small, almost extinct clan. They were scattered over the years and now few is known. The Arikumi."
"The What?"
"The Arikumi, just like us, a small but mighty clan" She said as if she hadn't been previously interrupted, she unrolled the scroll that, reviling a picture of a lotus flower blooming, with a treble clef above it, waves of dots lines coming from the sides of the clef making it look like some sort of sheet music and sound waves mixed into one. Another picture of purple kaleidoscope eyes, unlike mine with yellow, silver and lighter more cyan speckles the picture had dashes of red and different shade of blue in them.
'I can see the similarities.That explains the kaleidoscope aspect of my eyes. But doesn't explain the electric blue one, probably a birth defect or something like that.' I mused.
"The most striking aspect of the clan is their kaleidoscope eyes and their control over their voices, vocal genjutsu."
I raised an eyebrow "How do you know all this?"
"Because I was friends with one."
"What happened then?"
"Girl, if you keep interrupting me then I won't get to tell. Now would I?" she gave me an annoyed look like she was telling me "Stop interrupting me or else I won't tell you"
"I guess so" I shrugged unfazed "Proceed"
"They came by these mountains and was looking for shelter. We offered them a place to rest and recover. Its always a harsh time during wars; The bigger nations think they could use us smaller ones to intact their conflicts."
"That's horrible."
"Indeed" she nodded "It also causes a lot of innocents to become displaced or worse." she curved her lips into a sorrowful frown
"But that doesn't answer the question." I argued
"Well, like how anything else is acquired, by moth or of writing." she pushed the scroll towards me "As a child of the clan this rightfully belongs to you."
"And the person you've met-"
She held up her hand "I doubt that they were you mother or father, but maybe cousin of some sort."
"So is this why you wanted to talk to me?"
"When I first saw you, I knew by your eyes that by you were indeed an Airikumi; But that bright scarlet hair makes me think you are conceived with another as well."
"What do you mean?" I raised my brow
"You are more powerful than you think child."
"Okay" I just nod at the cryptic woman "Is that all?"
"Oh, yes. You should be on your way! A child like you should get some sleep. Don't want to be grumpy tomorrow, do we?" She chirped as if she didn't sound like she was possessed moments before and ushered me towards the bedrooms.
