The Cursed Bloodline
Bad Memories ll

Tanuki brings Mirai's body to a medical center. The place filled with various research subjects was Tanuki's secret laboratory under the Red Cloud Cops. He put Mirai's body on an operating table, then called some of his men

"If it's true that you're a descendant of the Snow Clan, then you have the ultimate power of the 3 Pillars of Protector! " murm Tanuki

Tanuki saw the appearance of little Mirai, he mirrored Mirai was a boy

"But why is he a boy? Isn't it just women who can inherit the power of the Snow Clan? " Two soldiers approached Tanuki

" You call us Mr Tanuki? " said one of the men wearing a Red Cops uniform

" Aren't you the doctor in charge of this lab? Quickly check the state of this boy. I attacked him with my sword. Look whether he's hurt or not! "

The man approached Mirai, he checked her pulse. There were no significant injuries on his body

"He's fine, sir. Where did you meet this little girl? " Tanuki's eyebrows twitch in wonder. A gal?

" It's none of your business, but what do you mean this brat's a girl? "

" Even though he disguises his appearance as a boy. A girl's pulse can't be hidden, sir"

"Is it? ...... Basic Kizuna! All this time she lied, that Yukio gave birth to a son, she even hid well for the past 6 years to avoid me" Tanuki glanced at Mirai meaningfully.

"Sure I have to test this kid's strength.... "

Trassss..........

Tanuki pulled out his sword, he quickly slashed the chest of the doctor beside him. Fresh blood flowed from the Doctor's wounds. The other Tanuki's men trembled in fear, seeing their Cops leader even have the heart to slash at his own comrade.

The man could only hold his chest, blood started pouring out from inside his uniform. Tanuki only looked at the men he hurt without caring about him

"Let him in bed, quick! " Tanuki's orders, immediately the other men move the doctor's body.

Tanuki then held Mirai's hand. Magic energy flowed into his sword which was still covered in blood. He slashed Mirai's hand, causing Mirai to forcefully draw her blood. Unlike blood in general, Mirai's blood seems to sparkle, and has a brighter color than normal people's blood. Even some of the people around Tanuki could feel the aura of powerful magic power coming out from Mirai's blood

Tanuki took out a small container, and held up drops after drops of Mirai's blood. He then carries Mirai's blood to the dying Doctor's body, then drips Mirai's blood into his wound

Slowly, the wound on the doctor's chest begins to close. White smoke came out from the wound that began to heal completely, even within seconds the incision wound on the body of the doctor was perfectly closed. Tanuki smiled with satisfaction, it was like he had a miracle.

"The strength of his blood, even exceeded the strength of Yukio's blood. The Snow Clan that generally requires a gyoku seal, it seems that he has truly inherited the true power of the Yuki Clan! "

The doctor who had just whimpered in pain, was now recovering as usual. Tanuki orders his men to take care of Mirai

"Sound all of you! I order you to look after the little girl, she is the source of our Military power. So don't let you get him killed or let him run from here! "

"Good Mr. Tanuki"

Tanuki looked at the Doctor in front of him. The doctor swiftly sat down and gave a respectful attitude even to the person who had just slashed at him

"You must have known, how to use the girl's blood, right? "

" Of course sir! "

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

(This story corresponds to Mirai's dream in Chap. 4)

Now Mirai's body is immersed in a bath full of water. His arm that had been injured by Tanuki continued to bleed, until the water in the tub turned a deep red color

He felt a great pain in his hand. Mirai began to come to her senses from her stupor, with a frightened face, she looked around

"Where is this? Acka! My hands hurt so much! "

Holding her arm, Mirai began to try to stand up. Because of the incision wound, Mirai endured the excruciating pain, so that her body could not maintain its balance

"Dad..... Where're you? " Mirai started crying in fear

A branggg.......

He accidentally touched the medical device next to him, fell down and made a noise that made the guards aware

Frightened, he looked at the two men heading towards him. The man in the Red Cops uniform was complete with a picture of a red cloud on his vest

The two men were arguing. They quarreled over whether to kill Mirai and draw all her blood

Mirai who heard that also trembled with obedience. He wanted to run away from that horrible place, but the two men were now getting closer

"Well good girl, give your special uncle more of your blood! "

"T-spa....... Fathers..... Help me....! "

Amidst Mirai's cornered condition, suddenly someone kicked the trash can and made a ruckus.

Brakkkk.....

Quickly, the man pecked at the lamp in the room. Makes 2 Red Cops overwhelmed by it

Mirai only saw Black shadow fighting before him, sparks clearly visible in the middle of that darkness, sparks coming from the friction of the sword of the person fighting. The fight was short. It is hard to know who the winner is between them.

Someone turned the lights back on. Samar, Mirai sees a child heading towards her, wearing a white cat mask, in a uniform similar to the two men. The only difference is the color of the clouds in their uniform

"Come! I'll distract them! " say the boy

With her legs still trembling, Mirai started to open the window. However, the jemdela was protected by a powerful magic barrier. Aware of that, the masked boy also destroyed the magic dingding with the blue-colored fire power of his sword

Trangggg.......

"Now! Quick run! " command. Mirai heard footsteps approaching her room

"What about you? "

" I can handle it. Run away! Save yourself!" say the boy

Mirai grabbed the window in front of her and tried to stay away from the place. With all his strength he ran despite not wearing footwear. Mirai slightly glanced back she still saw the masked boy who was helping her busy fighting. Whoever he is, Mirai is very grateful for his help. Mirai continued her escape with a heavy heart.

" Dad...... Waitme! I'll be home soon...... Fathers.......... "

Mirai continued to run towards her village, more precisely towards her home. Without caring about the sky that began to darken or his legs began to peel because they continued to run barefoot.

The sky was cloudy, now it was pouring down quite heavy rain. Despite the pain and soreness, Mirai continued to run in the midst of the torrential rain. His body was cold. Alone, break the dark forest. Mirai felt an incredible pain running through her arm. So did the wounds that kept on spitting out fresh blood

" Cih...... Why does my arm hurt so much? Usually if I get hurt, the wound will be closed soon. But why does it hurt so much now? My hands are burning! "

Mirai now arrived in front of the village gate, it had been almost 3 hours Mirai continued to run towards his house.

The rain seemed to be falling. Puddles of water mixed with mud accompanied Mirai's tired steps. However, how surprised Mirai saw the state of the village which is now only the remains of building debris. He immediately rushed to his house in the corner of the village

His body is getting weaker, making him unable to run any further. He can only walk slowly while paying attention to the state of his village

His village turned into a terrible place, the corpses of villagers lying along the road. They were all killed by the sword

When Mirai finally got home, she remembered her father's message telling her to wait for him. However, due to the chaos, Mirai decides to return to her home. He hopes to meet his father there

"Dad.....? "

Mirai began to enter his house, the items in the house seemed scattered.

He could not see his father in the dark house. Mirai decides to start entering her father's room

Chequek..........

Mirai opened the room door. He stepped his foot into the dark room. Mirai's body stiffened. Just a step into the room, his feet felt something thick flowing down the floor

"What'sthis? "

He also checked it. Mirai extended her hand to the floor to reach for that lumpy thing. Mirai was surprised, what he was holding was blood

Faintly he saw someone's body lying on the floor. The dark atmosphere caused him to not be able to see who the owner of the body with certainty. In a troubled mind, only one was in Mirai's mind. Tears just dripped down his cheeks. His body trembled violently at the thought of the person who might be lying on that floor.....

"A-Dad......? "
