Chapter 2~ Shinei Dorin
RRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! The dismissal bell rang loudly, waking up Recca who was snoring through History. Today the teacher, Kagome-san, decided to teach modern Japanese culture. Recca, feling dejected at the lack of ninjas in the lesson, quickly submitted to snorting peacefully. Fuuko was sharpening her deadly quills on a polished rock, Yanagi was working on FireStar Reccaman: her comic for children. Tokiya was staring intently at a wall while Domon cracked his knuckles during pauses in the teacher's lecture. They all jumped up when the bell rang except Tokiya. He took his time getting out of his chair.
Fuuko turned and noticed Tokiya's thoughtfulness and lack of icy disposition. "What's the matter Mi-chan?" She questioned of the surprised Tokiya.
"Let's meet on the roof. Pass the word around."
Startled at Tokiya's sudden bluntness, Fuuko immediately ran to tell the others the news. When they all had assembled on the roof of the school: Tokiya pacing back and forth, Yanagi sitting crosslegged on the ground, Fuuko next to Tokiya, Recca perched on an overturned bucket, and Domon, the giant, sitting V-sit in a corner, Fuuko looked at Tokiya questioningly.
Tokiya looked slightly stressed which was unusual. Usually, no thread of emotion ever showed in his calm face. Fuuko rubbed his back and looked worriedly at him.
"Mi-chan? Something is horribly wrong." She murmured. Tokiya turned his bright eyes on Fuuko and nodded.
"What is it? I will speak for you. Calm down." She replied, soothingly.
Tokiya took a deep breath and said, "Several years ago I killed a man. He gave me reason to believe he killed Mifuyu. It ended up, as I know now, he was innocent. That is not what bothers me. I know I killed an innocent man but also, accidentally his teenage son. Again, this is not what bothers me. I swear on Ensui that I saw that boy in our classroom, staring at me. He never took his eyes off me.he had one of Kurei's Madogu" Tokiya shuddered. Fuuko looked alarmed. "I will speak to them. Drink some water or something. You always have a bottle with you." Tokiya snorted at this prospect.
Stepping in front of the rest of the Hokages, Fuuko cleared her throat.
"Something has gone horrifically wrong. A teenage boy meant to stay dead has risen. He has one of Kurei's Madogu." Leaving her words to sink in to the group, Fuuko turned back to Tokiya. "Y'ok Mi-chan?" Tokiya nodded. Suddenly, the door leading down to the rest of the school opened with a clang. A dark figure, obscured in the shadows, stepped onto the roof. It was a tall boy with red hair pulled into a ponytail similar to Tokiya's. His black eyes sparkled when he saw the Hokage. He was wearing a thick coat for it was cold out, although the snow had stopped falling earlier that day. He wore large boots and around his neck hung a prismatic object. A sigh, to small to read, was engraved into its smooth surface.
"Its been a while.Mikagami." His voice was still high with boyhood. "Shinei." Gasped Tokiya. "Indeed." Shinei Dorin returned with an icy glare. A long scar cut into his beauty like a knife, ruining its perfection. Shinei ran a long white finger along his scar. "It hurt like nothing I had ever imagined. I felt like I was melting, turning into water, pain, so much terror. Before I saw the blackness of death, I saw one thing. That picture has been burned into my memory for three years. You, your face dripping in my blood. Your eyes glaring into mine, looking into my soul. I abhorred your image, your likeness. You will die." Shinei finished dramatically.
(*Authors note* Sorry to break the lovely speech but this reminds me of a time in the anime...After finishing some sort of speech Raiha says something along the lines of "Wasn't that dramatic?" a nice finish but not exactly a Shinei-finish)
