The Cursed Bloodline
The Wounds of the Past

...Three days before the break-in...

Mirai tried to gather her consciousness. Faintly, he saw a dark room with various medical devices surrounding it. Where is he really at the moment?

Mirai twitched, as she felt her body submerged in water. The water that soaks his body is deep red.

Of water?

Why me-

AARGHHH! It hurts!

Why are my hands this hot?

Samar, at the end of the room there were two men talking. Mirai's body was small, soaked in a tub full of water. He could only grimace, seeing his arm hurt. Not only that, the blood that came out was even able to change the color of the water.

A 6-year-old boy, in the middle of a dark room and foreign objects surround him. Mirai looked around her in fear, not knowing what the strangers would do to her.

While trying to gather awareness, little Mirai tried to get up, she wanted to get out of the scary room immediately. But it wasn't as easy as he thought.

A weak body, as well as the pain of being unstoppable made it difficult for him to get up.

Brakkk

Mirai accidentally dropped one of the tools on which she was focused. Mirai began to pound hasty footsteps starting to get closer towards him.

T-wait. Who is uncle uncle? Cloud Coat?

There were two men in military uniforms with a red cloud emblem on his left chest. Mirai did not dare to look directly at the two men, she could only see the cloud emblem on their chests. The two foreign men began to approach Mirai, checking whether the girl was conscious or not.

"Shouldn't we just slash his veins deeper? " one of the men started to approach.

" Are you stupid?! If we do, it could kill the kid. His blood is still useful to us! "

" You're right too. But wouldn't it be if we mixed his blood with water, it would reduce the effect of his healing magic? "

" You are stupid! Our army is many. Although the effect is weak, it is still useful to increase our strength. Basic Stupid! "

The two men continued to argue, they tried to get closer to Mirai's body. They wanted to make Mirai faint again. Mirai was about to rebel but one of the men immediately grabbed hold of her body, while the other pointed a knife at her.

" Well good girl, you should give uncle a little more of your special blood. For that, you have to stay asleep here, okay? " du the man got closer, smiling wickedly.

N-no! Nay! Nay!

Mirai quickly opened her eyes, she woke up with a breath of breath. It was all Mirai's dream. But what he had just seen, it was as if it was completely real.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! What dream is this? " Mirai tried to regulate her breathing. Mirai looked at the empty room in front of her, a thin sweat pouring down her face

In the middle of a dark bathroom. Mirai who was still panting tried to sit on her bed.

Lightning flashes illuminated the dark room. Out there the storm is sweeping, the rumbling sound accompanied by heavy rain adds to the gloomy impression on Tengu headquarters.

Mirai walked out of the room, the nightmare just made her feel a little stuffy, she decided to go out for some fresh air.

What dream just now?

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

The headquarters of the Tengu Organization, a magnificent ancient Japanese-style castle. The old and creepy looking castle is located in the middle of a dark forest.

It was extremely difficult for ordinary humans to reach the area that was right at the center of that demon forest. The castle with 4 sides of the tower with a building towering to the sky really holds a lot of mystery in it.

The sound of Mirai's feet rang out loud along the dark hallway of the castle. With quiet steps, Mirai walked down the headquarters with ancient Architecture adorning along the corridor of the room.

Mirai continued dragging her feet, she was about to head to the balcony at the highest peak of the castle. Heavy rain along with thunderous roars continued to be heard from out there. At the very least, the cold air could clear his mind back.

Mirai finally reached the highest peak of the castle. His focus was sidetracked by the tall figure in the black robed. Samar, the silhouette of a man standing under the torrent of rain was right in front of Mirai. In the midst of the dark atmosphere and the flash of lightning along with the heavy rain, it was very difficult to know who the man standing was sculpting.

"Xio's? "

Mirai recognized that person was Xio the Leader. The man who was raising his head up, he just silently stared in the rain.

Mirai was astonished, why did the Leader stand up like that at midnight and it was raining like this. Mirai can see, the man is so emotional, not as he is often seen. As Mirai knew, There are two reasons why someone is protracted standing in the rush of rain.

First, because he is angry and wants to cool his body and soul, and take peace through the swift rain.

And two, then,

Hmh!No way!

The second was to want to hide the wound in his heart. Heavy rainwater makes tears that fall not visible because the water hit the face in a row. You can cry in silence, without anyone being aware of the heavy rain.

Yang Mirai knew, right now the Leader was not in a state of anger about something. The only purpose of his life was Tengu's goal, and Tengu was fine at the moment. But it is also impossible if it refers to the second reason, right?

Mirai hurriedly removed the curiosity of the Leader from his head. He also tried to get close to the man.

"The leader! "

Leader Xio immediately turned to face Mirai when the girl called out her name. Unlike Mirai's guess, Xio looked very calm. There was no meaningful expression on his face.

Dark black eyes with long eyelashes feel empty without emotion. Like piasa, the cold-faced man remained a mysterious expressionless look.

Mirai was unable to prove about the suspicion of the second reason on the leader's face because of this heavy rain.

"What's up Yuki? Why are you here at midnight like this? "

The same thing Mirai wanted to ask Xio, but he immediately threw away his curiosity.

" It's nothing. I just went out to get some fresh air. "

Xio closed his eyes, took a slow breath and turned his body towards Mirai

" Oh so."

Xio walked towards Mirai. Slowly he brought his body closer, positioning himself against the girl who was frozen in front of him. Xio started to extend his hands that were wet by the rain towards Mirai

"Would you go inside, cold weather doesn't suit you. "

Mirai was stunned, her eyes perfectly rounded when she realized what Xio was doing. The leader's cold hand gently rubbed his face. It makes Mirai sculpt.

" Go to your room. "

Xio again continued his steps, leaving Mirai alone who was still idly fixated. It was not usually that Xio was so emotional like this.

"Wait Xio! " Mirai regained consciousness. Xio stopped his steps, he immediately turned around.

" What's up? " and so did Mirai, now they were facing each other.

There was no answer from Xio, it meant that Mirai could continue what she wanted to ask.

" That day. When you stretched out your hand, and invited me to join Tengu, why did you seal my memory. What is it with my past? "

The cold-faced man did not respond to what Mirai asked, Xio turned to his back.

" There's nothing. It is precisely if you remember your past, you will be slumped in suffering. " Xio looked at Mirai with the tail of his eyes,

"You don't have to suffer anymore given your dark past, Yuki. Because here in Tengu I will make a future for you. " Xio began to continue his steps, before completely disappearing he continued the previously cut ucaoan.

"And protect you too. "

"But Leader! "

" Don't bring up the matter again, whatever it is, it's all for your own good. You better focus on the mission I gave you, as you planned, you'll be sent to Sora Village.

You better get ready. Zou will prepare your identity perfectly, I entrust this mission to you. "

It was seen that Xio's shadow began to disappear in the darkness of the castle hallway. Mirai was still silent on the spot. He was still asking, what is the 'past' and what is the meaning of his dream.

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

A beautiful morning in Sora Village. Community activities began early in the morning. The merchants began to open their trade and the mothers prepared to go to the market.

In the middle of a simple apartment Mirai was sleeping in her sleep, sunlight entering through the window slit began to wake her up.

Due to the affairs of the Administration entered the village, and of course the act of a tour guide annoying who yesterday with him, making Mirai tired and immediately fell asleep upon arrival at his service home.

Mirai rushed over. He also combined his morning ritual with a bath, until the noise began to interfere with his beautiful morning

Ting! ..... Tongs! .... Ting! .... Tong!. .... (silence).

TING! ...... KEG! ..... TING! .... KEG! ..... TING! ..................

Who would dare disturb my sunny morning? How dare! hitting the bell is like declaring war! If it's not on a mission, I've sucked out all of his soul!

TING! .......... KEG! ...........

"Wait on! " Mirai clucked in annoyance, while opening the door of the person who wanted to suck his soul.

Mirai had guessed. The one who had upset him from yesterday, was the same person who was declaring war in the morning.

" What's the matter, early in the morning you're bothering me? "

" l-it's. "

Aora pointed slowly towards Mirai. With slightly blushing cheeks, and eyes that are certainly round enlarged.

Conscious. Mirai followed Aora's direction. Damnit damnit! He was just wearing a white towel wrapped around his slender body.

" Close your eyes! You idiot!" Mirai immediately slammed the door. Aora froze in place.

"Is it my fault? He came out wearing only a towel? You strange woman! "

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

" What's up early in the morning? "

Mirai was now sitting on the floor folding her hands to her chest, a sharp look she pointed at Aora. Mirai put a glass of water on the small table.

" This is breakfast for you! " Aora who was sitting in front of him langsunh placed a large parcel in front of Mirai. Even though his face was pointed to the side in shame.

Aora was aware of her red face. He wanted to hide it from Mirai. Yep. Half of it is covered in masks.

"Well!" Mirai sighed softly.

" It should be, you're not so excited about hitting my doorbell, just to give me breakfast. And what's that face you're hiding? Basic Perfumed! "

" B-not so! I was just surprised at the horrible sight before me! Ck! There is nothing to see! "

Aora tries to hide her clumsy feelings by mocking Mirai. To be honest, Aora had seen Mirai's seductive curves. He was ashamed to admit it.

" A-What did you say? Nothing to see ?!" mirai said in disbelief, elbows visible on her forehead. He tried patiently to suck his stupid soul as wise in front of him.

" Bother! Here I bring you breakfast, haven't you eaten anything from yesterday? " aora added and success made Mirai stop her anger.

"Normally a girl wakes up in the morning gracefully? Not giving a terrible look to this considerate neighbor? "

"Grove! "

The successful speech made Mirai throw an object in the reach of her hand to resuscitate the Fool in front of her.

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

In front of the apartment, they were preparing to head to where Mirai was on duty. Aora as the person in charge of Mirai was about to deliver the girl to her workplace. Of course after Mirai enjoyed breakfast and Aora who was still stroking her head due to the throwing of the object earlier.

"Where are we now? "

" Before our destination to Sora Hospital. But I got a message, We have to go to the uncle in his office. " Aora is still stroking her bumpy head

"Ck! But, before that. I was told there was a mission for us, the details are still unknown to me, you just come with me! "

"Mission? Don't you want to take me to the hospital, where I work? "

" There was a sudden change of plan, you were assigned to an important mission with me. "

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

Aora knocked on the door, and began to enter the chairman's room with Mirai. Just as he entered the Sora building, his attitude changed abruptly

Hmh! There is still some civility as well! Fuck up!

Aora and Mirai begin to face Zen's leader. Not forgetting they bowed and said hello to the number one person in Sora.

"Mirai, how are you? I hope you're comfortable living in an apartment. Did Aora trouble you?

"Good chairman, hopefully the chairman is also healthy. The apartment given by the Chairman was very comfortable, I think I am getting used to this village. And- "Mirai turned to the person beside her

" Yes... She was a little troublesome indeed, but everything was fine "reply Mirai with a smile and of course she got a sharp gaze from Aora

"Thank God........

About the mission I gave you this time. " Chairman Zen poked his words. He looked seriously at the two people in front of him

"I need your abilities as well as Aora to succeed the mission this time around." said the middle-aged man with a serious face.
