Book One: Chapter 13: Haru Saves but Betrayed At The Same Time...

Last time, Haru went to school and met a new student named Emma Volkov and Haru said something that she didn't mean to. Haru really dug into Aoi with just words alone. His friends Emma was in fear as well. She took Aoi out to get some fresh air. Orchid said something that gave Aoi and Emma the idea to ask the question.

Haru, for a moment you said you cast away your negative emotions? Aoi asked. Yeah, it is true just like how you and your buddies been targeting my friends. Haru replied. Also Aoi I know you've been lying to me. I replied. Hey, Haru calm down, you know how you get when you are angry. Ichiko replied. I'm sorry Aoi I hope I didn't scare you. It's just a hypothesis. I replied. I sat back down at her desk. Aoi are you ok? Ichiko asked. You look a little shook up. Ichiko replied. Aoi is looking at me frozen in fear. I will take him to get fresh air. Emma replied. Aoi and Emma went out to get water. That Haru is like she could read a person's mind and tear at until they go insane. Emma replied. I never want to get her angry. Emma replied. I know Ichiko told me that Haru wasn't always nice as she is now. Aoi replied. I know right; I am glad Ichiko stopped her. She cast me away because her anger makes her known, feared, and hated. Orchid replied. I can only tell you this ask Izanami about two years ago and who caused the wounds that were inflicted on her little brother's body. Orchid replied. Orchid walked off into a shadow. That girl is her negative emotion. She is such an adorable-looking girl. Emma replied. Are you ok now Aoi? Emma replied. Yeah, I am. The way she was talking it was like she was slowing torturing me with her words. Aoi replied. Aoi walked back into class. Hey, Aoi I am really sorry if I terrified you. Haru replied. So that proves it. When she is away from that girl she becomes sweet and kindhearted. When she is near, she becomes the devil reincarnated. Emma replied. What are you talking about? The gruesome revelation I spoke of fifteen minutes. Haru replied. I'm sorry she is still angry but she talking with a smile. Ichiko replied. The bell rang we should get to class. Haru replied. Aoi you and Emma are going straight home, no socializing. Ari replied. I also want you to avoid that girl. She looks sweet, but in reality; she is a demon in disguise and you have feelings for Aoi. Ari replied. After school, Aoi and Emma went home and in the car, Aoi asked a question. Hey two years ago what happened to Master Tomoki? He was supposed to be wounded, but he shows nothing. Aoi replied. I'm surprised you don't know. Ari replied. I will tell you when we get home. Aoi replied.

When Aoi and Emma went home, they met Tomoki. Hey, can I ask you a question, Master Tomoki? Aoi asked. Yes, what do you have to ask me? Tomoki asked. Well Ari said to stay away from Haru. Aoi replied. That woman inflicted a curse on my body and only she can remove it. Tomoki replied. I didn't know Haru did that to you. Aoi replied. Yes, she did. She never came to take away. Tomoki replied. I wonder if she would if I ask. Aoi replied. Let's see the curse. Emma asked. Oh my gosh, it's like if it consumed your body little by little. Emma replied. It is because it is. Tomoki replied. If it doesn't get lifted, I will die in two months. Tomoki replied. You say it so calm. Emma replied. I pissed her off by attacking her first out of fear. Tomoki replied. I don't think she will help the guy who attacked her. Tomoki replied. Oh, buy her two boxes of strawberry jelly doughnuts with powder sugar on them from Lunar Sweets. She will be a perfect little lamb. Aoi replied. How do you figure that? Emma asked. Aoi said with a blank stare. I have known Haru since we were kids. She is a sucker for doughnuts and all kinds of cakes. Aoi replied. You really know how to catch your prey. Tomoki replied. No, that isn't it. I copied off her notes last Friday. She wants something in compensation for her services. Aoi replied. She must know how to get you to do whatever you say. Tomoki replied.

The next day.

Haru, I need your help with something? Aoi asked. Why should I help? I glared. I will buy you two boxes of strawberry jelly doughnuts. Aoi replied. And what else will you add on top of those doughnuts? I asked. Powder sugar will be on them too. Thank you for the compensation from last Friday. I replied. I really can't hurt her. She can intimidate, but she means well. Aoi thought. What do you need help with? I asked. Tomoki Ono's curse that was inflicted on him four years ago. Emma replied. Oh yeah, the guy who attacked me from behind. I totally forgot all about that I inflicted that curse on him. I can lift it but he has to come to me so it can be lifted. I replied. Maybe today after school as you pay for my doughnuts. I replied. Well, I am not buying them Tomoki is. Aoi replied. Really, you are supposed to be buying them. I replied. I pouted. Oh, my is she always pouting like that to you? Emma asked. You don't know the half of it. Aoi replied. After school ended, I walked into Izanami's house. Is that you Tomoki? I asked. Wait you are the same Higashiyama that inflicted my wound? Tomoki asked. Yes, its just that grew up from my childish actions, that are all. I replied. Where is your bedroom or any room you feel at ease in by yourself? I asked.

So let me remove the curse. I replied. Tomoki sat on his bed. I summoned her sword and Tomoki looked at me as I summoned the sword that cursed him with. You will feel intense pain so get ready. I replied. What? Tomoki asked. I slashed the curse and it went away. Is there a wound from your swords slash? Tomoki asked. No it only thing that it cuts Shadow Dragon attributes attack. I replied. Also to give your bodyguards the heads up. "If you are curious to why I inflicted that curse on you was because of your bloodlust and hatred you have for me being a Higashiyama grew to where the curse was feeding on your bloodlust and hatred towards me it was feeding on you." What are you trying to say? Tomoki asked. Her eyes just now they were sharp and her blunt voice. In actuality, I plagued you with that before I did that to you. I replied. Those doughnuts should be in compensation. I replied.

I'm sorry for the way I just spoke to you. I have a tendency to turn blunt when I use my Shadow Dragon weapon. It is like I revert to my old self. I replied. She just smiles, as if she is so carefree. Tomoki replied.

Aoi walked into the room and I was walking out happy with the doughnuts. I want you to keep tabs on her, Aoi and Emma. Tomoki replied. Why would you request that? Emma asked. That girl is actually deceiving you with that kind of act. She is really cold-hearted and savage. Tomoki replied. She just spoke in a blunt tone. Tomoki replied. Don't come back here you damn demon. Ari replied. Izanami walked in the living room. What is that little monster doing in our house? Izanami asked. You don't have to worry. I could have beheaded everyone at once, after all, Izanami you have seen what no, my family swordsmanships is capable of? I replied. Well, I am sorry for saying. I really do convert to myself when I use my powers against my father wishes. I replied. I smiled and walked out the door. That is the wolf and sheep's clothing that you have feelings for. Ari replied.

As I was walking on the way to Megumi's Dojo. As she was on her way there, Megumi walked up to her. Hey Megumi what is your problem? I asked. You went to Izanami's House. Megumi replied. That is true but remember that bastard Tomoki who I put a curse on him. I replied. Yeah but now Tomoki is going to have people watching you. Megumi replied. I know how guys like him work. I replied. Are you ok, Haru? Yoshi asked. I'm alright, it takes a lot to hurt me. I replied. If they are having people watching you, they will use that friend of your name Aoi. Natsumi replied. I know but not just him that guy named Sayuri too. I replied. Haven't you really fought him, have you? Natsumi asked. You are right about that but I have a feeling he won't pull that move he pulled last time with that void of his. I replied. I know how that demented boy thinks. Megumi replied. What do you mean? Natsumi asked. Let's say he will get his revenge. Megumi replied.

Later that day, I was still thinking about Sayuri and what revenge has to do with it. When I got home, I rushed upstairs and got on her laptop and looked up the meaning of Sayuri. What the hell? Orchid asked. So someone named them after flower meanings. Sayuri means hatred/revenge. Botan means bravery. Hyakunichisou means loyalty. Lastly, Bara means to silence and devotion. I replied. The girls should be told about this tomorrow. I replied. I kind of caught on to that, but I thought it was about Hanakotoba or Language of Flowers. Orchid replied. As Haru went to sleep that night, Sayuri (Aoi) was spying on her as Tomoki asked him too. Well, that bastard actually listens to someone. Orchid replied. What is going on? I asked. Just go to sleep alright. Orchid replied. I have no damn clue about who he is trying to get revenge upon? Orchid thought. What a lapdog. Orchid replied. Is he spying on me or something? I asked. Yes, he is and what should we do about it? Orchid asked. We'll find out tomorrow. I replied. The next morning, I went to school and Aoi walked past me. Oh good morning Aoi, how are you doing today? I asked. I'm doing great today so far. Aoi replied. That is good to hear. I replied.

As the school day ended, I rushed to Megumi's Dojo. Megumi, I did a little research on Izanami's Elite squad and how the traits are the same a the flower they after. I replied. Wait are you telling me that there are meanings behind their actions? Natsumi asked. So you figured it out on your own? Megumi asked. You knew their names derive from Hanakotoba or the Language of Flowers. I replied. When I fought Hyakunichisou, she had an intense loyalty to Izanami. Bara showed immense devotion to Izanami. Yoshi replied. You are right, that is what their flowers' names meanings. Megumi replied. Well no actually, I feel he has no loyalty in the slightest. I replied. I have a quick question? I asked. Let me guess it's about Sayuri? Megumi asked. Yes, his flower means hatred and revenge. I replied. Now that you pay attention to his actions, he is angry, and he is trying to vent out someone. Natsumi replied. Soon as Aoi ran after I, he came into the Dojo, he paused in shock. You are right; he is trying to vent out on someone, but, he doesn't want to hurt that person. Orchid replied. Excuse me, Haru you left your jacket in the classroom. Aoi replied. Thank you, Aoi. See you tomorrow. I replied. As Aoi walked out the door, Megumi came up to him. You know if you keep deceiving her, she will never trust you ever again. Megumi replied. Aoi froze in fear again. See you later, Aoi. Megumi replied. Aoi walked away and ran into Emma.

What does Megumi mean by revenge?
