Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 150 - Leaving Samui Island
Tired of staying dancing steps - weak and limped steps, trying to sleep but regret still comes haunting. Nagato only slept for two hours before morning, while the remaining time he used to pensively lie on the floor enjoying the stale atmosphere.
Nagato rushed to take a bath and enjoyed the sensation of a touch of cold water that entered into each pore - his porch. The coldness of the water he felt made him grit his teeth, before washing his body using the white towel provided in his bathroom, Nagato steeled his heart to keep moving forward and live a new life.
Nagato wore a white kimono and used a white cloth that tied his left waist like a swordsman from the Fuyumi Clan. His hands combed his hair after he was done dressing, then Nagato put on his waist bag and carried the white fox mask that Grandpa Hyogoro had given him, while the sword of his father's relics that still can not be separated from his sword she lives in the Moon Snow Dormitory.
Slowly walking out of his room towards the middle room of the Moon Snow Dormitory where the five of them would gather, there were four beautiful girls who had worn the same color of clothes as Nagato. A white yukata and a white cloth tied the waist to the left of the four of them.
Nagato looked at Iris who was wearing the hairpin of a blue-winged butterfly with her hair, then he saw Litha wearing the hairpin just like Hika Dan Tika, a blue rose hairpin.
"Nagato, here let auntie justify your clothes." Shirayuki's words made Nagato's face red with embarrassment, while Iris, Litha, Hika and Tika laughed at Nagato blushing in shame.
Shirayuki confirmed Nagato's dress as allowing her own son's clothes, not forgetting she also gave a warm kiss on Nagato's forehead to be given safety on the way.
"Hm ... Nagato's cute to be ashamed of - embarrassed like this." Shirayuki deliberately teased Nagato as her hand pinched Nagato's cheek gently. Nagato simply kept quiet and endured his embarrassment of being treated like a child by Shirayuki. After confirming Nagato's clothes, Shirayuki also confirmed the yukata Litha wore.
Shirayuki also kissed Litha's forehead just like she did to Iris and Nagato. Litha's face was also flushed red as she was treated like a child by Shirayuki. Not long after the door of the Moon Snow Dormitory opened, there was Emi coming with Ichiba and Oichi.
"It looks like you're ready." Emi looked at Nagato then she looked at Iris, Litha, Hika and Tika. Seeing Nagato looking handsome makes Emi a little curious about the identity of the young man, he asked Shirayuki but her first child and her biological child did not want to answer her question.
Iris kissed her grandmother's hand followed by Hika, Tika and Litha from behind. Seeing that, of course, Nagato also followed the four girls, although he had little to do.
Before leaving Samui Island. Emi tells once again to the five young warriors the representatives of the Fuyumi Clan who will attend the Kai Tiger Tournament. Emi told the five of them not to underestimate any opponents they would face later, she also explained to Nagato and the others about the three crownless young warriors and the ten genius young warriors.
Of the two names, none of them were of the same age as Nagato, Iris, Litha, Hika and Tika. The young warriors who earned the nickname of the crownless young warriors were all seventeen years old, while ten young warriors from both clans, namely the western and eastern camps, often get the nickname of ten young genius warriors, all of its members have ages that range from fourteen years to fifteen years.
Actually Iris was arguably included in the ten genius young warriors, but her young age and the first time she entered the Tiger Tournament Kai made her unknown. Iris's name is a bit famous because she is the son of Shirayuki who is very respected, although her achievements are quite remarkable for the past seven years. But Iris has to prove it in the Tiger Tournament of Kai for everyone to believe and acknowledge her.
Emi walks beside Shirayuki while trying to dig up information about Nagato, but her words are not written by Shirayuki who does not want to reveal Nagato's identity to her mother. Hika and Tika walk with Ichiba and Oichi.
Ichiba tells the story of the Tiger Tournament Kai to his two twins, occasionally he jokes a little on his twins so as not to be too tense on the way.
While Nagato was walking in the middle of being squeezed by Iris and Litha from his left and right sides, the white fox mask he had on his left hand would wear so that his face could be hidden. Nagato felt so uneasy when passing through the streets of Daruma City that too many young girls were always staring at him sharply, spoiled there were even some who deliberately blinked their eyes.
Nagato himself was not very aware of his good looks, only one thing he knew, the girls' gazes at him made him feel very disturbed.
Arriving at the beach of Samui Island. Emi continued to walk closer to the beach, while the boat that looked magnificent was different from the direction that Emi was headed. When Emi pulled out her sword and unleashed her inner power, slowly Emi's sword which had a rose-pattern look froze.
"Imperial Type Ancient Weapon: Ice Sword. That's the sword that mom held, I mean Grandma Emi." Shirayuki stood beside Nagato as her hand stroked Nagato's hair.
Iris and Litha laughed softly at Nagato who blushed in embarrassment every time Shirayuki stroked the young man's hair. His face was red again, but Nagato tried to remain calm so that the impression was that he looked cold and uncaring.
"Like Grandpa Hyo's. Does Aunt Shirayuki also have ancient weapons or holy water?" Nagato looked at Shirayuki who was taller than him, his eyes looking so curious. "I see Aunt Shirayuki and Iris can manipulate snow, ice and even cold as you please. So I was thinking that Aunt Shirayuki drank holy water..." Nagato smiled faintly before returning to look at Emi.
Shirayuki smiled at Nagato opening up to her, for her this was a pride in itself. Not long after he crouched down and whispered softly in Nagato's ear.
"The deafness of Aunt Shirayuki and Iris is not from holy water, but rather because we have the power of the snow goddess." Shirayuki whispered in her ear, making Nagato slightly goosebumps due to Shirayuki's breathing that made him cold. "Nagato also had the power of the fire god. It remains how Nagato used that power and turned it into Nagato's own power." Shirayuki added as she stood back up.
Nagato just nodded softly at Shirayuki's whisper. It was not long before Nagato who was looking at Emi was shocked, as Emi froze the ocean water and made a path out of ice using her ice sword which was an ancient weapon.
Emi poured her profound energy on her beloved ice sword, then she let out her white-colored body aura to balance her strength. After Emi stuck her beloved ice sword in the sea water on the beach, in an instant the sea water froze and formed a road.
The power of an ancient weapon beyond reason makes Nagato smile, in a world that is still a lot of mystery has not been split yet makes him more interested in accompanying the journey of Litha someday.
Emi sheathed her sword and looked back.
"Let's continue the journey." Emi invites Nagato and the others immediately rush across the ice path that is in the ocean to Daruma City.
Nagato approached Iris and lowered his head slowly to whisper in the girl's ear.
"Can you be like that too?" nagato's whisper in her ear made Iris's face turn red, then she tried to stay cool because many people were with her.
"I can do that easily," Iris replied in a cold tone and looked unconcerned. Hearing that answer, Nagato only smiled faintly and stared at Iris's face for a few seconds before she turned her face away.
