Book One: Chapter Seven: Mysteries and Surprises Part Three

Last time, I met my ancient ancestor, Kaori Higashiyama.

Hey are you ok, kid? Kaori asked. Who the hell are you calling kid? I asked. We looked at each other surprised to see what we look like. I don't know who you are but, right now I need to take care of her. Kaori replied. Do you need help putting her in her place? I asked. How about I might need your help but until I tell you too. Kaori replied. Are you supposed to be taking care of me? Amphitrite asked. Kaori looked at Amphitrite and flashed towards her summoning her sword and slashed her sword. Amphitrite dodged her attack. A void opened up causing a huge crater in the ground. Hey man, you could kill someone using an attack like that! I yelled. I do as I please. Kaori replied. A monster through and through. Amphitrite replied. You can kiss it, you walking fish! Kaori yelled. The two began to clash again. I turned my head and felt that same energy signal from that guy. Chikara do sense that? I asked. Time to make your move. Chikara replied. Come forth the blade that protects me, come forth the thorn of the Midnight Rose! I yelled. What the hell, don't tell me you are the next Shadow Dragon? Kaori asked. Well, I just got these powers as a form of a welcome home gift you could say. I replied. What the hell why didn't you say this earlier?! Kaori yelled. You never asked. I replied. That guy appeared again. He was attacking from above. I summoned my sword at an excelled rate it blew him away. He got back up and we started clashing until you saw sparks. Kaori was fighting back and forth with Amphitrite causing sparks and lighting to happen as well. Kaori kicked her in the stomach. We need to leave now. Abaddon replied. Are you serious right? Amphitrite asked. Same for you kid, I don't care how strong you are. Abaddon replied. I ran over and cut his cheek. You little! Keenan yelled. So she cut your face, I feel you will see her again. Mangestu replied. Whatever. Keenan replied. That voice just now, was who I think? I thought. Get your a** back here! Kaori yelled. Hey, can I ask you a question? I asked. What do you want? Kaori asked. Are you Kaori Higashiyama, the greatest Shadow Dragon of her generation? I asked. Not the greatest now but that is my name. Kaori replied. Maybe we might meet again but on different terms. Kaori replied. As she smiled at me. I felt a sincere feeling that she meant those words. I thought. She walked away vanishing into ashes from the attacks. Well, I see you have an interesting discovery. She looks and sounds like me. She must be the reason I was brought back to life, huh? Kaori thought. After that Mariah was cornered by a woman named Suzaku. You have the face of that royal. Suzaku replied. I have no clue who you are talking about. Mariah replied. You know exactly, Princess Akurai. Suzaku replied. Suzaku snapped her fingers creating a ring engulfed around Mariah's neck. As Mariah was gasping for air, she saw two arrows flying. One popped the ring around her neck. Well speaking of the devil, she shows herself. Suzaku replied. A girl with snow white hair appeared with an enraged face. So you are after me you go after a random person. Ami replied. What will happen if I? Suzaku asked. You will always torture girls pretty than you, huh. Ami replied. Mariah stood up.

Suzaku means Vermilion Bird in Japanese.
