How many people I have kill ? And how many time I have to give the same reason ? A reason to live .

" Mist , mist . It heavier and heavier . It's difficult to breathe. Am I dead ? "
Ishiwaka is in the lake surround by trees and mist . He was looking at half moon in the sky . Suddenly he heard the voice—
"You are not dead— yet . "
The girl in the black kimino with shape rippling pattern . Her hair was covering her right eye . And her right leg were showing from the gap in the kimino . She was sitting on the big stone there . But it look like she was there for a long time watching him .
Ishikawa sigh and said ,
" I guess not . "
When she try to move toward Ishikawa and put her right leg in the lake, the whole water turn into bloody red .
" It looks like peace has make you weak ."
Ishikawa didn't answer .
" You want to go away from the bloodshed . But It look ls like more you try to become a human . The more demon inside you came to know . "
" But don't worry , We won't leave you —
She went close to him , put her hand around him —
" Kurayami ( Translate Dark hell [Ishikawa's right long sword ] ) "
Suddenly two hand around his shoulder came and said —
" Don't forget about me . "
A little girl with big scar on the face . In the white kimono wiith blue particles on them . Her hands were full of scars and painful burn .
" Karu-sa ( Translate Light Heaven ( Ishikawa 's left broken sword . "
Kuroyami said in low voice —
" We will always be with you . "
And they hug him .
Ishikawa became calm . He feel at ease . That lake was the lake of blood . The blood , of the people he have kill . Those people hatred and sorrow are still attach to him .
Thousand of dead corpse are still hanging in his body . To take him , in the place called HELL .
He open his eyes —
" Dream , huh ? "
————————————————
It been three days since Ishikawa became heal from Mr Kamo and they start their journey to Kyoto . But something went wrong —
" Ishikawa -san , Please teach me how use Shikikiri . "
" Can't . "
" Huh ? Why ? "
" Because I don't know how to use it . "
" What ? But what about the mystical sword and Yumi- chan power ?
" Yumi's power is something you cannot handle . And my two sword's doesn't contain any spiritual power . It is just a swords that I created . "
" So you can create sword . "
Ishikawa nodded .
" Can you create a sword from which I can learn Shikikiri ? "
" Can't do that either . "
" Why ? " She whined .
" Because …. Wait Do you even know how Shikkiri Jutsu works ? "
She said in kind of confuse manner — " No….
Ishikawa sighed .
" You know , what ? ... You are ….USELESS .
" Hey , Now that going to —
" You are going to attack the enemy without knowing what kind power they have ? You are …. An idoit .
" You ...
" Okay . Let's start from the first —-
What is Shikkiri Jutsu ? "
Asaki look at him with the excitement in her eyes.
" —- I don't know —
" Huh ? She said in shock .
" Yeah . And I don't think anyone in the world know about it
...….except —- Hisame [ Translate - A female devil ]
" Hisame — Asaki said in a low tone .
" Hisame Of Kyoto —- she is the only one who knows about everything in this world . What had happen , what going to happen she knows everything ….
" How do you know this — Hisame person ? "
Ishikawa pause for a second and said ,
" We just had a little history . "
" Oh , History , huh ? "
" Unless , we go to the Kyoto , we know nothing . "
" That means I have to wait untill we get to Kyoto . Thats too far . And I haven't contact to my uncle since I left Aizu . ..
Ishikawa look at her and said —
" Aren't you from some bigshot samurai sword school who teaches Shin-ryu Technique? "
" Yes but , I was never taught how to use Shin-ryu Technique because …..
She hesitated and her eyes look on the ground.
" Because You are a woman ? —
She nodded .
" I see —-
" But I know how to use gatana though . "she said . [ Translate — Short Sword which look like a Knife but easy to kill . ]
Ishikawa look at her obi . He saw the black gatana on her waist . On the case of gatana , he saw sliver chrysanthemum mark .
Just like this they were talking and moving on their journey .
Suddenly Yumi sreams — " Aaahhhhhha
Ishikawa and Asaki ran toward her . But they both saw a boy who badly injured , he have many scar . Ishikawa went near and check pulses .
" He is breathing !! " he said .
Asaki bring out a small rug bag that was given by Mrs Kino . She take out some paste and start to apply on the boy's wound .
" Is he .... little dead ? " Yumi asked in curiosity .
" What do you mean by little dead ? Huh . Let me clear you — this kid — is not dead . He is just unconscious that it . "
" I apply the medicine
Yumi just stand there looking at the boy . After applying on the wound , Asaki said , " Let him rest . "
They decide to spend the night there .
———————————
At Midnight ….
" A little girl was there . Holding hand of her parents . She was happy . Suddenly a fire lit up and her parents disappear she was crying and crying all alone …. Just like me ….
Suddenly a loud scream broke Asaki's sleep and she saw a that boy hold her gatana so close that it could pierce through her eye .
But thanks to Ishikawa who holding the knife and a boy at the same time with one hand that was cut and made hole by that knife still laughing —
" Today's Kids don't know how to be grateful …
He punch the boy on the face . The kid's flew and land on the ground .
Asaki didn't understand a think what is going on but she knows that if she didn't stop Ishikawa , he will definitely going to kill the boy .
" Now , what shall I do with you ?——
Asaki hold him from behind and said in crackling voice —
" STO—OP IT , PLE-ASE "
The boy was coughing and breathing heavily , trying to get on his feet —
" You monsters — he said
Everyone was in shocked and full of questions in their mind .
" MONSTER ? ——- Asaki said in surprised .
" Yes , You , all are monster that try to take our land ,our forest and our people —- everything happened because you people .
" DIEEEEEEEEE ! MONSTERRRRRSSS "
" Shut up ,brat . You really need to learn some manners . "
Ishikawa raise his leg to attack but suddenly—————-
At Mr . Kamo 's House ….
The blood flowing through the floor , as a woman lying cold .
" Kino , Ki,,, no —- man crying and sobbing while his hand stab between the sword .
As hearing his cries ,
" Well , why are crying ? She sitting in the table , adjust her big boobs and was about to eat red bean paste.
She has few henchman with her surround Mr Kamo house .
" You can't…. Rea—lly Understand , because you all are not …. Human … at all …..
" Huh ? That all you have say .
Now , now tell about that girl ? Where did that girl go ?
" I don't know . Even if I know , do you think I wil tell ? "
" I will give you last chance and ask you once again … WHERE DID SHE GO ? "
" I DON'T KNO...
Out of nowhere , sword come slicing his head through his ear ….. Massive blood splash on the room …
On Vice -captain Okii Miruku face too .
In disgust manner ,
" How many times I have to tell you … I really don't like blood . "
