Chapter 7 - pain and loss 0.2

Six: Acceptance is one of the hardest things to handle, especially at your age. A child like you shouldn't have had to witness this. It would be cruel if I just left you like this, so (stretches out his hands towards yamato)I shall save you by removing you from this wicked world

Yamato: (in a deep angry voice ) Don't you dare touch me! (stands up with heat waves coming off his body) don't you ever try to touch me!

Six: (surprised) What is this? what is this intense heat? could it be that he has powers? no it couldn't be! That would mean my info and research was wrong. But that's impossible for obvious reasons, but could it be that I was and he actually does have powers, and even if he does it shouldn't matter to me he's strong but not strong enough to beat me even if he's a new born

Yamato: (folds his hand into a fist) I won't let you get away with this. I swear I'm going to make you pay for what you did here today! I'll make that my first mission as a slayer! (charges up spirit pulse as he yells)

Six: (uses his arms to block his face) What? His spirit pulse is sky rocketing but how is it that its so high? and I mean for his age this sort of power shouldn't be assessable (thinking) Spirit pulse or more commonly known as S.P; the energy responsible for generating ones powers and the link between the body and the soul. Spirit pulse is an energy that can only be used by people with powers and is gotten from the spirit and passed through the body as ones power. More importantly it is energy that is powered through ones soul and sent to the spirit before it comes out as someone's powers . This is to say that spirit pulse is basically letting a person know that they are aware and alive by sending this energy through the persons body.

Spirit pulse is an energy that is not only provided to people with powers but also people who are alive because only those who have souls can generate spirit pulse. That is to say those who are human and are not walking dead can generate spirit pulse.

People with powers are not the only one to generate spirit pulse though , since the requirement to generate it is to be alive and a human, all humans even without powers can do it but not enough to generate powers or to even use powerful orders, just a few basic orders under that of earth. This is believed to be because the soul and spirit do not have a strong enough connection or do not recognize each other well enough to have a proper connection or flow of energy so therefore they are unable to generate no more than a little amount.

People who do have a significant amount but not enough can involve themselves in training methods to lengthen the amount of spirit pulse they have and increase their usefulness that is for those who want field jobs or working jobs as slayers or minor city and military task forces.

From the moment a child awakens, the body is already automatically set to put out no more than the spirit pulse he or she should be able to handle, the S.P nodes reduces and increases as the body develops. So for children the nodes that are opened to them do not allow them to do damage that would be above shattering a fairly sized boulder and for newly awakened since the release of S.P through the spirit nodes are so sudden its expelling of power is normally on a huge wave and can do a ton of damage, but how much damage is also depending on the physical training one partook in before his powers were made available. This too will determine the flow of S.P through out the persons body.

What a person is capable of doing with his abilities at a certain age is mainly determined by the output of S.P, so if the person has an S.P output of say that of a blacklist when only a scout, then that person is capable of really powerful techniques. What powers a person gets is not determined by S.P, it is determined by the shape of ones soul, desires and intentions of ones heart, goals and character of the person and will of the person or so it has been said....So is this why his output is so high (buries his eyes in his elbow) but still with the amount his of S.P he's filling himself up with right now eventually he's going to pass out or burn everything within the area!

Yamato: YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME BACK MY PARENTS!

Six: I'm afraid I cant do that kid, you and I know that killing me won't bring them back...

Yamato: Then I'm going to take you out. As my parents intended to, as the son of a slayer that's my duty, Its over for you! (charges an immense amount spirit pulse while surrounding himself in a ball of fire ready to explode, flashes back on happy moments with his parents) I'll avenge you both. I swear it! (feels a warm hand hug him firmly from behind and whisper into his ear saying "its all right son. You don't need to be so angry, this anger will only consume you so let it go", thinking) Isn't this voice…..Mums? (turns his head to his side and see his mothers smiling face as a tear drops from her eye) Mum...

Mira: don't worry Yamato I'll always be with you. Please don't carry this anger with you, its more than you can bare ( let's go of Yamato and disappears as she ascends into the sky)

Six: (to himself) I don't have the energy or strength to even beat this child, damn that blacklist! I'll have to retreat (jumps to the top of the house, to Yamato) I have overstayed my welcome here so I'll be gone. For now that is. But I will come back for you someday (disappears into the rain)

Yamato: (falls to the floor on his knees and cries over his mothers body) Mum! I'm so sorry, I should have listened to you. All I did was hold you and Dad back and now...(sobs)…because of me you and dad ar….are both…are both

Yoshi: (Grunts in pain) Ya…ma…to

Yamato: ( Rushes over to his father with tears in his eyes) Dad? Dad! Dad! You're sill alive. Just wait Dad ill go get help (about to step away)

Yoshi: No son wait (grabs Yamato by the arm) you're not going to be able to help me. That assassins technique is almost completely which means I'll be dead soon so just stay here with me... please

Yamato: (sobs) But Dad...

Yoshi: (smiles weakly) look Yamato. First I need you to bring your mothers body, let her lay next to me please

Yamato: (drags his mums body over to the tree where his father lays) I did it Dad, all right? I did it so now let me go get you some help

Yoshi: Yamato, please just wait and hear your old man's last words because I won't ever have the chance to say these things and that's why the first thing I have to say is I'm sorry. Sorry I was unable to protect our family, sorry we didn't get to celebrate your birthday and you getting your powers, sorry we have to leave you at such an age and most of all sorry we won't get to watch you grow up

Yamato: But Dad it isn't your fault. It was mine, I came back even after mum told me to stay put all because I wanted to help but all I did was hold you back (sobs). If i hadn't been here you both wouldn't have lost

Yoshi: Look at me son. Nothing was your fault and you did nothing wrong, that spirit of wanting to help someone no matter what you were told is one of your greatest qualities. You're going to become a hero, a great one who fights against injustice, a strong one who will stand for good. It won't be easy but I know you can do it, because you're my son. don't be angry about what happened here today, don't go on living a vengeful life, don't make hunting that man down your mission because revenge isn't the way, it won't make you happy

Yamato: But dad how can you say that? how can you expect me to not avenge you both? how can you just expect me to be okay with something this bad happening to you both? You have to let me find him Dad please (rests his head on his fathers chest and beats it with his right hand as he cries)

Yoshi:(chuckles) Yamato, I want you to keep pushing and insisting just like that. Continue to fight and never give up, and any time you find a wall that has you stuck (grabs his hands) smash through it with these hands because only you have the power to!

Yamato: Dad I'm not understanding. There's just to much you need me to….

Yoshi:(holds yamato to him tightly) Son, I want you to understand that bad things happen to good people and sometimes it's without a reason. The world is just like that sometimes so please don't hate the world, that's the only thing I need you to understand, never forget and always keep that with you . Even if I and your mother aren't going to be with you physically to help you through the tough times that are ahead it won't mean we aren't there. Never throw away your values and become a man that keeps to his principles and a man that can keep his promise but most importantly never stop being my son because I know the boy I raised. And the boy I raised always wears a smile so go ahead (let's Yamato off of his chest) show me that smiling face of yours

Yamato: I cant do it dad! I cant do all of these things, I can't become all these things you want me to be and I caynt smile after all this has happened

Yoshi: (Grabs Yamatos head and places it against his own) Son, when you choose to do something and stay true to that thing, there is nothing you cannot do not until you say to yourself you cannot do it. And that's the one thing the people in our family do not understand. The meaning of the word 'cannot'. So Yamato Toshido can you be my son and smile for me?

Yamato:(looks up to his father with tears streaming down his face) yes Dad (he smiles and chuckles a bit as he cries) I can

Yoshi: That's good then, I don't need to worry to much about you (lays flat on his back and turns to Mira and rubs his hand gently on her face) it's okay Mira, our son is fine I'll be joining you soon enough Goodbye....(looks towards yamato as a tear drops from his face)....my son

Yamato: Dad, Mum please don't leave me alone (sobbing) I can't be left by myself…I need you guys please, I'll do anything! just don't leave me! (flakes of fire start to come off of his body and spreads through out the backyard burning everything it touches) I won't be….I can't be anything if you two aren't with me.

Just then, the flames burn most of his parents bodies as they burn with smiles on their faces

Yamato: (realizes what is happening) nooo!….noooooo!….nooooooooooooooo! (screams as a fire charge goes up into the air, falls on the floor)I…really am…weak...

My name is Yamato Toshido, and on February 19th during the Eto period both my Father Yoshi Toshido and my Mother Mira Toshido were murdered by an unknown assassin. His motives,Identity and even the people he works with /for are unknown as well. all of the information about who he was died along with my father. The only thing that could be identified about the assassin was the red coloured eye with an 'x' drawn across it that was on the hood of the assassin and nothing more.

But there is one thing I learnt that day, the true meaning of pain and loss, something no child should ever have to learn at such a young age. When I woke up I saw Karin's face over mine and I could tell she was worried but as she spoke to me it was like the world was tuned out or I had gone deaf but it didn't matter, maybe I was still in school and just woke up from a nightmare, I looked around and saw Dax, Miss Keen and myiss Murakami then I noticed a tear run down her cheek as she looked at me and said she was sorry, I was able to make out what she said somehow but I didn't try to understand how. I turned to my right and I saw my parents bodies laying underneath the tree and parts of them were burnt. I was shocked and then realised none of it was a dream. I would have cried but I had already cried so much that I had no more tears left. I tried to reach my hand out to them but all of a sudden I felt sharp and unreasonable pain in my arms, the pain was so intense that I blacked out and as I did the last thing I heard was the sounds of sirens as I shut my eyes again.
