CH. 6 Reunion

After meeting with Koshirou in front of his dojo, Shin and Ikaruga was invited into the dojo to talk about their reason of meeting.

"Beautiful house I must say, Master Koshirou!" said Shin as he looks around the washitsu room, as he was sitting on the tatami floor along side with Ikaruga, who was very close to him.

"Thank you" Koshirou replied and rubs he back of his head in shyness. "So. What have you come here for?" After getting over his shyness of being compliment. Koshirou went straight to the point.

Shin smile at the straight forward question that is questioned at him from Koshirou. "Well, it seem that Master Koshirou doesn't want any stop and get to the point. I'll cut the chase then." Reaching out his hand to the teacup in front of him and lifts it up.

"Join me!" said Shin and lifts the teacup to drink. "Join you? On what?" Koshirou was slightly confused, as he kinda get the hang of what is going on. However for further insurance, he decided to ask Shin for more information.

"Please, Master Koshirou don't play dumb with me. You know what I mean, don't you" Shin answered truthfully as he believe that Koshirou knew about his action very well, but on whatever reason he pretend to be confused about this matter.

Hearing the answered from Shin, Koshirou went silent. Looking at the silent man sitting on the opposite side of him, Shin decided to explain further for a better understanding.

"Well, since you decided to keep silent. Then, I will be the one who talk." Shin placed the teacup down and look straight forward at Koshirou with seriousness.

"I am now making an organization or you could says that we are like a pirate with high goal and ambition that is specialize in various things. Assassin, killing, trade, shipping, information broker, weapon dealer, and etc."

"You know Master Koshirou. This world that we are living in now is very dangerous as we are now one legs in the coffin. And for that reason, I need a strong warrior like you, Master Koshirou." said Shin.

Hearing what Shin has said, Koshirou instantly made up his decision. "So what do you say, Master Koshirou? Do you agree? Or " as Shin was about to finished his sentence, Koshirou interrupt with a simple word.

"No" said Koshirou smile and looks at Shin. "What was that?" asked Shin as he felt that he was not hearing the right thing. "No. I won't join you." said Koshirou and smiles at Shin, before he slowly stands up from the floor and prepared to walks away from the room.

Not giving up, Shin decided to uses his trump card and shouted out loudly. "If you join us! I will revive your daughter back to life and live in this world once again!".

Instantly Koshirou stop moving and turns to looks at Shin, who was smiling and looking at him in seriousness.

Seeing that Koshirou has turned back, Shin decided to talk and gives out more explanation as he see hope in this situation. "Yes! Master Koshirou. Join me and I will revive your daug--?!!"

BAM

Not finishing his sentence once again, Shin was pushed down and lay on the floor with a sword by his neck. Looking up along the sword and the man holding it. Shin was shocked by the power and speed.

The speed was so fast that Ikaruga was not able to act and she was also pushed by a great force. Sending her away and hits the door.

'Damn! In just a second and he could have mince me into a supermarket meat mince. ' thought Shin and cold sweat slides down his head as two pair of red shining eye glare at him.

Gulped

Swallowing his saliva and putting on a bright shining smile as he looks at the man who could be called grim reaper. "Master Koshirou! I know you are angry about what I have said! But please believe me! I really can revive your daughter!" shouted Shin as he could feel that his back was like a waterfall.

"You know even if I lie! With your strength, you could have caught and kill me! So! Please Master Koshirou! Believe me!" Shin hurriedly shouted as he felt that blade was now touching his skin and almost seeping into it.

"Hmph!" Koshirou released Shin and walks away as he sneered at Shin. Feeling that Koshirou has backed away and that he was far away from him. Shin released out a sighed of relieve. 'Damn that was close!' thought Shin and turned to look at Ikaruga, who was feel guilty about not being able to protect him.

Waving his hand at Ikaruga and smile at her. Shin slowly stands up with her help and looks at the man who is holding a sword. "So, Master Koshirou! What do you think?! Do you agree!?" asked Shin as he looks at the man with fear.

No words or sounds was heard in the room after what Shin has said. It was completely covered by the shadows of the trees and sounds of the breeze brushing through the wooden door.

"If you can" After a few minutes of silent, a voice has talk and stop. "I will consider!" said Koshirou and waved the hands at them to follow him.

Looking at the man action, Shin sighed in relieve again as he slowly struggle with the help of Ikaruga to follow Koshirou as he felt that his legs was soft and there was no strength.

----------------

Slowly walking behind Koshirou, Shin was now walking toward a cliff that seems to reach out into the sea. Looking from behind, Shin could see something by the cliff.

Finally reaching the cliff, Koshirou turned and looks at Shin as he placed a small pot in front of the grave. From his glare at him, Shin knew what it mean. With a staff in his hand, Shin slowly struggle to the grave as Koshirou and Ikaruga steps back from him.

'System! Give me that Custom Call Dead Returning Ticket!' thought Shin.

"Ding!"

[Here you go!]

Suddenly in front of him a black with white line ticket appear. Reaching out his hand and grab the ticket, and throw the ticket out above the grave. Light suddenly shine out of the ticket and brighten the whole area.

"Light from above! Hear my call! Listen the pledge of the abandon soul!"

The sky around the cliff changed as it formed a whirling cloud shape. The winds starts to blows rapidly. Koshirou was shocked as he saw what has happen in front him.

"If one is burn to ashes. Renew their contract of life" Suddenly the winds blows rapidly and stronger then before as it knock the pot down and ashes spread along with the wind.

"If one is lost in death. Create the path of truth." Ashes that was carry along with the winds slowly stops above the grave and forms a human body.

"Untie the knot of fate. Revive the eaten souls and star!" Slowly the darken sky and the whirling cloud shape loosen, as bright light shines on the human shape ashes.

"Come! Walk again upon this lands of life!" White light covered the ashes and shines out bright light that shines through the islands and sea.

"Welcome back to the world of living, Kunai!" said Shin as he reached out his hand and grab a hand that breaks out of the cocoon light.

A young girl slowly walks out of the cocoon and looks around. "Where am I?" asked the young girl as she looks at Shin, who was smiling brightly at her.

"Kunai!" shouted a voice from behind Shin. Hearing the call for her name. The young girls looks at the person behind Shin, as tears slowly slides down her cheek.

"Father!" shouted the young girl and swings away Shin hands as she runs toward Koshirou and hugged him.

Feeling the warmth from the young girl in his arms. Koshirou, a man who could say to never cry, was now crying as he tighten the arms around his one only daughter, the light of his life.

"I'm home!" cried the young girl. "Yes, you are home!" said Koshirou.
