The Cursed Bloodline
Tanuki's Curse Contract

Sresh.........

Ten cuts off the two rope blades that snare Yume's hand, quickly Ten catches Yume's body. A limp body full of torture wounds. The violet-haired girl was even unconscious. Now that Yume's body was in Ten's lap, Ten quickly carried Yume's body and carried her out of the Red Cops headquarters

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

"Hurry Hanna! " ten said hurriedly, while Hanna just followed where Ten was with a confused look, she tried to catch up with Ten and align her steps

They are now in front of an apartment. Ten hurriedly opened the door of his house

" At least explain first, what's going on here, Ten? " hanna said as she continued to follow where Ten had gone. He still did not understand why a man who was always calm and rational thinking like Ten suddenly panicked and did not even explain what happened to him

Until Hanna found someone who was lying in bed, in a state of severe injury. Hanna had only first seen a weak figure before her

" W-Who is Ten? " hanna said as she looked at Ten confused, she demanded an explanation from her best friend. However Ten did not answer his question, he simply held Hanna's hand tightly with a look of despair

" Let me explain Hanna! I'm begging.... Please heal him! " said Ten ririh

As Hanna approaches Yume's body, she checks on the girl. He swiftly placed his hand against Yumme's body, and drained his Kenkou. Ten who was standing behind them, continued to pay attention to Yume's Condition with a worried look. Blood still dripped from Yume's wound. While her pretty face, was covered in alarming bruising scars

"You wait outside Ten. I need to examine her body more thoroughly! "

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

Ten who had been pacing back and forth in the middle room of his apartment was still waiting for the results of Yume's examination. If something happens to Yume, Ten can't even get on with his life anymore. Yume is the only reason Ten Lives and becomes a military soldier like Tanuki would. For that reason, Tanuki easily controlled Ten to spy on Zen directly. Yume becomes a threat to Ten to betray his friends. At the same time sharing secret data that he obtained through White Cops. Even Ten's duties include the eradication of illegal crimes committed by Tanuki in secret

Hanna came out of her room and approached the restless Ten. Ten who noticed Hanna's arrival immediately asked Yume's condition

"How's it going? "

" The wound was deep enough, he lost a lot of blood. But you don't have to worry, I've treated him, he just needs to rest" Hanna said with her pale face. He uses too much of his Kenkou magic. His body also turned pale along with the depletion of his body's energy

"Thank God, thank you so much Hanna! "

"Don't thank me Ten, if you may know, who's that girl? " Hanna was still curious as to who the woman she was treating was. What does that woman have to do with Ten?

" He's my friend, I'll accompany him. Sorry to bother you, later I promise to treat you in return, okay! " said Ten leaving Hanna just like that. Hanna was a little disappointed. After everything he did, it was only a reply from Ten. He didn't expect more, but at least Hanna's expectations of the man he had been appraising from a long time ago glanced at him a little

"What look Ten, I've never seen her with that worried face, who exactly is that woman? "

Although filled with curiosity, Hanna also left Ten's house. Even though something was breaking his heart

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

Inside the room, Ten continued to hold Yume's hand tightly. Although the girl in front of him was only asleep, her face could not escape from worry

Yume slowly opened her eyes, the first look she saw with both eyes, was the worried face of the man who was now holding his hands warmly

"You've woken up Yume? Are you okay now? Is your body still hurting? "

" I'm fine Ten, where am I now? What about Mr Tanuki? " Yume spread his eyes. He knew he wasn't in the hospital. A neatly arranged restroom around her really looked foreign to her. He guessed this was room Ten.

" You're still thinking about the person who made you like this? I beg Yume! Stop acting like you owe him! " said Ten with a slightly raised tone. He was so upset, the girl who had even been tortured this cruel still worried about his father

"I'm indebted to him Ten, my whole life! " say Yume slowly. If there was anything Yume could call home, it was Tanuki's Red Cops organization

"He's just using you, Yume, you can't give your life to someone like that! "

Ten stared at Yume's hand, the hand that still left blisters everywhere. On Yume's ring finger, there is a black striped Tattoo, which circles her finger

"I should have put this pretty ring on your ring finger, but the person I call dad, is putting a curse on you! "

"At least, with this sign. I can keep seeing you, Ten"

...****************...

At the age of 10, Yume was taken by Tanuki to Sora. As a victim of war, he no longer had a family or a home. Tanuki brought Yumme small because of his potential, he was included as part of the Red Cloud Cops. He was trained and raised with the Red Cops system, which is tampa have the slightest emotion. As his main mission at that time, he was given the task of guarding their Son Master in secret

Tanuki has a magic curse, which is given specifically to people who owe him a favor, or willingly surrender their allegiance through a curse as a contract

The curse was different from the seal he had on each Red Cops. Especially, the curse like a contract symbolized by the tattoo coiled on the victim's ring finger has a function like a sneak that binds the promise between Tanuki and the Victim

With the Curse contract, Tanuki is able to control the body or mind of the person in the contract without exception.

The mission makes Ten and Yume understand each other's feelings as time passes. The loneliness they experience makes them bond with each other and ends up growing into love

Of course it was strongly opposed by Tanuki, but the scheming man took advantage of Ten's feelings towards Yume, in order to control Ten with Yume as his weakness.

...****************...

"I'm so grateful to be able to meet people as good as you. Do you remember? You didn't even want to go to the academy in the past, out of worry, I followed you to the rain while watching you from the outside" Yume smiled as she reminisced about her past.

In his memory is still very clear, little Ten who likes to play with his peers is willing to skip school. It was raining very hard at the time. As a secret bodyguard, Yume must follow where Ten is going without anyone knowing where he is. The mission required him to survive in extreme weather. Seeing children his age laugh cheerfully in a warm classroom while Yume has to endure the coldness out there. That made Ten moved.

"I don't want to, the girl I noticed was sick from my father telling you to look after me 24 hours. You can't even sleep well or eat well! "

"I can eat and sleep even in the middle of my mission, all because you gave me your food. You went to bed early, so I can rest well, right? "

They remember their past. The relationship that used to be only a guard and master, now turned into a pair of people who pay attention to each other.

Yume now rose from her sleep, with Ten's help she sat down and looked at the man in front of her. Yume stroked Ten's head gently, though,

"Even though my life is in the hands of Mr. Tanuki and vows to be loyal to him. Seeing you I had a dream for the first time........

I want to see you for the rest of my life, that's my dream. However, the dream was impossible for me" Yume said

Tears kept dripping, soaking her pretty face. Yume relentlessly stroked the head of the person she loved the most. Ten stretched out his hand, gently rubbing Yume's small hand that was still perched on her face. An idea passed through Ten's brain. Even though he knew, what he was thinking was a free thing

"Are you going to run away with me? let's live in a remote village far from here. We'll get married and live like normal people without getting involved in this magical world"

Yume just smiled, she knew it was just an impossible thing for her

"Even imagining it makes me happy. But, if that happens. I may not be able to see you much longer

Even if I get out of Mr. Tanuki's reach, he can kill me at any time. But what scares me more, he could hurt you, Ten. As with my first mission, I promise to protect you! "

They were trapped in a room with no way out. Tanuki's defeat, makes the two people must give up their happiness and sincere love. If they are desperate to escape, their lives are at stake

"Kotrak curses? No Yume, I promise I'll make you take off that curse. Have patience with Yume, and trust me"

Ten held Yume's hands tightly together, the man's gaze so fixed that hope emanated in his eyes

"I've always believed in you Ten" Yumee said

Yume was indeed smiling, but her tears were unceasingly dripping. He opened his arms wide, intending to give the man in front of him a warm embrace

Yume hugged Ten tightly, as well as Ten, she hugged the girl she loved while stroking her long violet hair

"Despite having to sacrifice my life, I promise Yume, I'll take your entrapment away from my father, whatever I do"
