2. Back in time

Grim takedo a very dangerous man who could get away with almost anything was Standing in-front of Yamamura leaving him in a state of uneasiness. Grim began to walk to the window facing his back towards Yamamura, "how was the car ride here tamotsu? Did it accommodate you well?" Yamamura swallowed his fear while hesitating to answer the Ominous aura was still forcing him into a state of fear, " y-yes Mr. Grim" grims emotionless expression could be seen in his reflection in the glass windows that covered his office. "Can you keep secrets tamotsu?" Grims reflection stared into yamamuras eyes Yamamura was even more afraid than before it was as if he was staring into the eyes of the reaper, "y-yes Mr. grim" grim started to dust his shoulder and a smirk could be seen in his reflection, "there is no need to be afraid I can sense such things, relax tamotsu, I ask again can you keep a secret?" Yamamura began to relax only a little and replied with courage "yes I can I only wish to find the truth behind our history".

Grim smirked again as he turned toward Yamamura he reached for a document and slide it towards Yamamura, "that's a very simple contract it states the rules of revealing what I'm about to tell you today and the consequences, a fine, jail time, etc. you only need know that you have nothing to worry about, please sign here" grim points towards the dotted line. As Yamamura stares back at grim he feels he must sign the document, reaching his hand towards the pen readily going to sign he thinks of what this could intail but he's come to far to stop now he must finish what he started he must know what grim wants from him, he begins to sign the paper noticing a grin on Grims face. "Welcome to Grim tutor industries tamotsu." Grim grabs yamamuras hand and begins to shake it vigorously.

"Let me explain what you have been called here for." Yamamura grows eager and silent "we here at grim industries want nothing more than to advance the worlds knowledge of our past history and to do this we need your help tamotsu.

Your father was a historian that not many knew he embodies still today what a historian should look like, you look just like him, what we need from you is your aura tamotsu. Can you help us?" Yamamura began to grow confused, his father? What was the reason behind mentioning his connection with him?, he needed answers he had heard of individuals possessing auras after the war that was held in America in the late 2020's but knew nothing of how there worked there was even stories of people who could lifts heavy objects and those who could even soar through the skies.

The story of auras goes back to the past years when a huge war broke out between America and Russia bringing not only chaos to Japan but all of the world sending radial pulses that would awaken certain individuals but that was rare even today. Yamamura was in his head "Me? Have an aura? I need to figure out what he's talking about why would he mention my dad?", grim reached for the contract pulling it from the view of Yamamura "tamotsu, I believe it's time to start the research before I begin do you have any questions?" Yamamura had one thing come out of his mouth "what do you mean by my aura? I've never been awakened in my life. I would've developed some kind of ability at this point?", "I'm afraid I cannot tell you because while that information is classified my assumption of your having an aura is only an assumption based on your fathers research of aura awakenings, but I brought you here to test my theory if it succeeds you will be the key to grim industries future." Yamamura grew wary, what does he plan to do with him, he started to wonder to himself "do I have an aura?! I still don't understand what doesn't he mean research?!" While Yamamura was clearly in shock grim slowly began to disappear from his vision but he paid no mind to it for he was still in a frozen state of fear and confusion. "We need you to awaken so that you can change history for me and shape it to my will." Yamamura started to feel faint as if the life was leaving his body " I won't do this even if I was a so called awakened!" Yamamura shouted "that violates everything my father stood fo —" he slowly opened his eyes after closing them to hide his fear and frustration he then lifted his head and in the reflection of the windows he stared chairman grim in the eyes as he was pulling the dagger he had thrusted into Yamamura's heart out.

"Thank you for your contribution to my research Mr. tamotsu, hopefully your mother will not morn too much. I had hoped to have you as part of the team it appears I must resort to keeping this a secret". Yamamura drifted away.

Yamamura felt nothing he was in a dark place alone with no senses and nothing to listen to but his own thoughts. Then he began to feel himself being pulled towards something and all at once he awoke bursting forward in a sitting position staring at his hand as he pulls it from clenching his chest he stared for what seemed like minutes frozen in fear.

"Did I die? Was I just stabbed?" Yamamura began to think to himself as he looked around his surroundings, he couldn't recognize any of it the snowy plains that lay before him or the trees and sky that was filled with falling snow he spoke "where am I".

Yamamura started to pull himself up placing his hand in front of his face "is this Siberia in Russia? I have to find someone or I could die out here in this freezing cold luckily my adrenaline was enough to accelerate my bodies heating process." Yamamura had remembered what he learned in his college science class about the raise in body temperature in moments of extreme distress because in this moment he realized that his fear was what kept him from freezing to death raising his temperature enough to help keep him just above the point of freezing.

He began to move around the snowy fields getting colder and colder with every step his new tennis shoes were getting wetter from melted snow and his Jean where not preventing a lot of cold from lowering his bodies temperature. He had to find a way to reach someone, anyone.

Yamamura had be wandering for some time when he arrived at a breaking point his body was begging to shut down when all of a sudden he fell to his knees at the sight of something huge right in front of his vision. Yamamura quickly realized that he was not dumped here to hide a body he himself had actually traveled back in time almost a millennium because right before his very eyes was a giant Scaled white dragon taller than the Empire State buildings he'd researched in America it was then that it hit him. This was his aura the ability to travel to events in time but what he didn't realize was that this very creature was about to notice that it was no longer alone while devouring its large mammoth meal.

Yamamura began to slowly step away as if to not alarm the large beast although he had his guesses as to what it was he did not want to find out. He could tell from the scorch marks and claw marks on the ground what he was dealing with but his mind was in shock forcing him into denial he quickly thought he must be dreaming and began to run as fast as he could in the opposite direction not looking back even for a second. As he approached a tree-line he was hesitant to look back at what he thought might be pursuing him but to his relief he noticed that the beast was still devouring its meal and saw him as no threat. "That was a- no it can't be those haven't existed for over a millennium I have to wake up this has to be a dream!" Yamamura was begging to go mad. "NO get a hold of yourself you need to find a way out of here I can think about this later!" Yamamura was thinking to himself as a man approached him "come with me. You won't make it if you don't trust me right now." Faced with the death he didn't hesitate to take the mans hand and follow him. After feeling warmth and ease knowing he wasn't alone he then realized that the man in front of him was mochizuki kichirou the man who would be know as the first aura to awaken in the history of the world.
