The Cursed Bloodline
I'm the Mirai for you

" Who am I?" That word just came out of Mirai's mouth. The long black haired girl, just stared blankly at the reflection of herself in the Lotus pond.

Unlike Zou and Nee, Mirai is not stuck in the memories of her past. Mirai did not even realize that her soul had already been slapped deep into a space created by Tora's magic. A Mortal Realm, with a vast expanse of Lotus ponds stretching along the eye of the beholder.

Inside the space surrounding Mirai, there was only a vast pond as well as a starry night sky. The world that Tora created was known as the Soul Purgatory Lotus Pool. Only special people could reach that place. The chosen ones will be able to see within themselves. Who they really are, will be reflected in the clear water that is right under their feet. Not infrequently, their Souls would be trapped forever in a cycle, without ever finding the so-called exit.

Mirai stared doubtfully at her shadow. The figure of the woman reflected in the pool water was completely similar to her. But there was one thing that made Mirai doubtful. Wh why? Why is the look in the eyes of the woman he saw so full of regret and sadness? As Tora said before. Is it possible that the figure before him is a reflection of his future?

"Didn't that woman look so good? "

A woman's voice sounded out of nowhere. Mirai immediately circulated her gaze in all directions. There was nothing but a vast lotus pond and a dark night sky. Mirai was curious, was there anyone besides her who was trapped in that strange world?

"Who are you! Come out and show me your form! " Mirai started to stand by, he immediately pulled out a small knife from inside his equipment bag. In this kind of perplexing situation, Mirai realized she had to remain vigilant

" ha's... Ha... Ha! You ask who I am? " said the voice of the mysterious woman with a loud laugh.

Mirai could only tighten the knife in her hand while continuing to be on standby. Mirai's lavender eyes began to focus on the water that began to ripple not far from his standing position.

Slowly the water ripples began to enlarge and create a silhouette figure that resembled a human. Mirai's eyes narrowed, trying to guess who the figure that emerged from the water was. The atmosphere of silence is gripping and a little dark, making Mirai have to do extra effort to recognize who the figure in front of him.

The moonlight finally shone on the slender body of the mysterious girl. Black mane long slammed slowly although still a little dripping water

"You?! "

Mirai's eyes were perfectly rounded, when she realized who the figure was walking slowly towards her. A cold smile was engraved on her beautiful face.

How could that woman look exactly the same as me?

" right. I am you! " said the woman as if she knew the contents of Mirai's mind. It was exactly the same as Mirai. Trunk splintered in two. Their faces, bodies and even clothes look the same. Mirai who looked at the figure in front of her as if looking at a reflection of herself. However, there is one that distinguishes the two. Their eyes were very dirty.

Mirai with pale purple irises is as beautiful as Lavender flowers. While the figure in front of him, looks cold with a bright red iris.

The figure in front of me is completely different. The entire darkness energy was even lodged in his body?

"I am the dark side in you, Mirai! " so on again with a sly smile etched on his face.

" What do you mean? You said you were me? " murm Mirai slowly. He still could not believe what he saw in front of him. At this moment Mirai seemed to lose her identity. What was true that cold figure full of darkness was him. Mirai doesn't even know who she really is?

" right. You and I are one. Only I know your suffering all along! No one in the world understands your suffering as well as I do! "

The woman who resembles Mirai is a figure of darkness in Mirai (Yang Mirai/Iron Mirai). Just like the natural energy that filled the world. The human soul consists of two elements, Yang (darkness) and Yin (Light).

Two opposing essences residing in one's soul. The figure in front of Mirai is a figure who has been holding hatred, anger, suffering and all negative emotions in Mirai. That figure was also the one that housed the darkness created by Nue Magic

As Tora said before, Mirai should be able to destroy the darkness within her. In other words, Mirai had to defeat the figure in front of her to be able to get out of that strange world and take the 3rd Pillar-stone

The Evil Mirai was now glancing at the shadow of Mirai that was reflected in the pool. A sneaky smile again adorned his face

"This pool shows who you really are. Look at! The face of suffering will soon adorn your face! That is your future!

Our destiny, it was decided from the beginning. With the blood of the damned in our bodies, we will continue to be surrounded by suffering and loss like our loved ones! We are always hunted for the benefit of a few. Of course you still remember, how the cruel people treated us, right?! "

The evil Mirai extended her hand. With all his deceit he tries to influence Mirai to walk the path of darkness. If until Mirai reaches his hand, then the dark magic will again envelop Mirai's body. Taking over her and turning Mirai into a cold-blooded monster

" So Mirai! Let me take control of your body and let's avenge all our suffering by killing everyone who dares to hurt us! I'll lend you my powers.

The world? With the power we have! We can even destroy the Cursed World that has given suffering so easily!

Nah! Now you just give me your hand! " the evil Mirai said with a meaningful grin

Mirai looked at the figure in front of her doubtfully. The shadow of his childhood quickly rotated. The figure of the red Cops Member warrior, Tanuki as well as the people utilizing his blood endlessly filled Mirai's head. Mirai's hesitation makes dark magic begin to emerge from her snow Gyoku. Slowly, Mirai started to raise her hand. As if welcoming a helping hand in front of her, Mirai stared at her evil figure with a blank look

A sneaky smile was again engraved on the face of the evil Mirai "Right! Let the darkness enter your soul. The rest, you can leave it to me, Mirai!"

However,

Bughhhh.....

Mirai immediately landed a punch right in front of the figure. The body of the evil Mirai was thrown far away, striking the expanse of water behind him

" You think your nonsense can affect me! " said Mirai with a sharp look. The dark magic that originally enveloped his body slowly dissipated. This time, he activates his snow gyoku and prepares to attack the evil Mirai.

" Cih! You want to fight against yourself?! Please! Let's see who loses first! "

The evil Mirai resurrects, activating the snow Gyoku in her hand. Two exactly the same forces were created. They created an incredibly powerful ice storm. None of them are superior or weaker. Several times Mirai's body crashed due to the attacks he used to paralyze opponents. There was almost no weakness, however the two people who fought were a unity

......................

Mirai's breath began to clash. For two hours he fought against the dark side of his soul. Both the strength, fighting skills and tactics he used could be read by the enemy easily. Moreover, the magic power that the enemy used so exactly with him made Mirai a little overwhelmed. All the fighting seems to be in vain.

"Well! Huh! Huh! Our strength and all our fighting styles are exactly the same. It's very hard for me to knock it out, even with all the effort I've put in so far.

Damnit damnit! What am I supposed to do? " murm Mirai slowly. He stared at the figure in front of him sharply.

Not much different from him, the evil Mirai also felt the same exhaustion effect as him. A cold smile was re-engraved on the face of the evil Mirai

" You! You will never win against yourself! " he said with a breath

Hearing that, Mirai's hands clenched firmly. So upset, he even hit the pool water that had been frozen due to his fight. Mirai realized, no matter how hard he fought he would never be able to defeat the evil Mirai. After all, it is part of itself.

"You are not me! I will never allow a monster like you to live inside me! " cried Mirai growled

" Monsters? Aaa.. So I'm just a monster for you?! " said Mirai evilly did not believe. A moment later he only showed a laugh before Mirai

" If I were a monster. What mention do you give to the people who have been tormenting us all this time?!

They expect healing from our pain. You forget, when all those assholes look at you like a medicine that came down from heaven!

They're laughing! They celebrated healing the painful wounds on their bodies!

Then what happened to us? Boomerangs, their pain is actually sent to us. The incision wounds fill our bodies! There is not enough food! There is no warm shelter! No one cares! As long as they are healthy, they will never care about our pain!

If you call myself a monster. I wonder what name you gave Tanuki and everyone who has taken our blood forcibly! The mirai!

The hatred that you have been so damning for, has created me deep in your soul! "

Hearing all that, Mirai just bowed weakly. His hands trembled, Mirai's evil speech re-routing the trauma within him. Mirai reached her arm slowly. Although there was no wound in his arm, he somehow still remembered every pain he had ever received before. Everything the figure in front of him said was true

"The world gives us this cursed blood. Ever since we were born, we have never felt happiness. Who's our mother! Why was Dad killed! And why do we have to live such a cruel life even when we are so young!

All this world's fault! Why are you trying so hard to save a world that has been cruel to you? " the evil Mirai's words again poked deeper into Mirai's heart niche

" Everything you say is true. The world that gives this cursed blood and the people that enjoy our pain. It was worse than a monster!

Everything you say is true! " murm Mirai slowly. Clear circles began to drip through his eyes. The evil Mirai smiled in satisfaction at hearing Mirai's words.

" But-" said Mirai confidently. This time he directed a straight look towards a figure that was so similar in front of him

" I believe there is still light that illuminates this world! There is still Aora! Yora and all the friends who made a Mirai survive in this cruel world!

My hatred and anger are strong, but you forgot one important thing! "

The confidence in Mirai began to grow as memories of those around her filled her heart.

Aora with her love. Yora was always there for him. Hanna and Rou, Sora's two friends who are always worried about her. Hotaru is always silly. Nee and Zou, there's more. The faces of Mirai's friends fill the doubts within Mirai.

With confidence, he stepped forward towards the figure of darkness himself. There was no suffering, no regret in the look in his eyes. There was only a sincere smile etched on Mirai's face. All of that seems to be erased along with the sweet hit that people around him bring.

"W-what do you want to do?! Your anger and hatred you can't get rid of that easily! " The evil Mirai begins to see a change in Mirai. Changes that even made his legs limp. He finally knelt down before Mirai

Mirai stared at the figure of darkness inside her, extending her hand she gently rubbed the tip of the head of the evil Mirai

"You're right. Only you in this world can understand my suffering.

Therefore, I thank you.

Thanks to you, I was able to get through all my suffering. I realized you weren't a monster hiding inside me. But you're the one who really worries about me.

You're just another part of me, where I hold all my anger and hatred about the world. Without you, I might not be able to get through my life well!

Thank you for taking all that pain for me! You've been working hard, Mirai! " say Mirai softly

Mirai stroked the evil Mirai's head. Exactly the same thing his father did when he fell first. A soothing touch, as well as warm words that are able to melt a block of ice as hard as anything that shackles the heart.

Mirai's warmth, capable of annihilating all hatred. Highlight the evil Mirai eyes filled with a reflection of anger, now began to fade. Now two pairs of eyes as beautiful as the exact same lavender flowers throw gentle gazes at each other. A sincere smile was engraved on those two beautiful faces

"It's time for you to rest. From now on, let me handle all your suffering. Despite the bleak future that may be waiting for us. We are still Mirai (The future is bright) according to the meaning of our name......

For that, I will be Mirai for you.....Trust me, Mirai! " mirai said on the dark side within her.

Tora's magic begins to envelop Mirai's body. After she reconciles with the dark side of herself, Mirai gets a symbol of soul balance on her forehead. A beautiful purple colored diamond-shaped symbol is engraved.

The symbol created after a chosen one gets the purification of the soul in the Lotus Pool. Pure magic power broke and raised Mirai's body up. Slowly Mirai began to disappear from that place.
