Tsumugara Episode1 (Part B)

As she thrust the sword to her belly, she blacked out as she fell on her knees.
She opened he eyes in another world, a rather dark world.
The world was wet as drops of water fell on the floor making a slurp sound. Only when she focused her eyes did she realize that they weren’t drops of water but drop of blood – her blood.
She looked forward trying to see in the darkness. She could make out a figure in the darkness of the room sitting at a far edge in the darkness.
“Tsumugara” she spoke out
The figure did not move
“Tsumugara” she called again and yet not a reply from the figure.
Tsumuga-” she called again but before she finished calling his name the figure was no longer there In the darkness. She tried to look for it in the darkness but couldn’t move because of the cut in her belly.
“Who are you?” a rather gentle and stoic voice asked from her back, only then did she realize that the figure was at her back.
“I am---” Akinya tried to answer but was interrupted
“Where is Hiomitsu?”
“Hi-romitsu, my great grandfather” Akinya struggled to say
“Your great grandfather” the figure replied puzzled
“How long has it been” he started to say but paused then continued
“I suppose that should be true as only the sons and daughters of Hiromitsu would be able to summon me since he locked me with an everlasting seal with his blood.”
“What do you want?” He asked
“I--” Akinya started to talk but was interrupted with blood spurting out of her mouth.
“I see- so that was the reason for all the blood and why you were able to summon me”
“I need your power” Akinya stuttered as more blood poured from her mouth.
“You would have to release me and am not sure you would be able to do that – It would cost your life and that won’t still be enough”
“I can’t release you from the seal, you are too dangerous, unpredictable and most importantly a liar”
“So what do you want to do?” Tsumugara asked with a smile on his face.
Akinya raised her fist up which had been clenched all along and a black ball like chakra rose up and became bigger to a fist like ball.
“You wish to transfer me to another host.”
Tsumugara laughed this time a bit loudly and shouted
“It will kill you” but stopped shortly as his life force began to be absorbed into the ball.

As she absorbed Tsumugara into the ball she opened her eyes in the real world but this time with the ball on her right while still carrying her brother on her left.
She thrusted the ball like chakra into her brother who shouted uncontrollable and fell to the floor.
The sword shattered in her tommy as she fell on the floor. She fell on her knees first before they gave way and she fell on the floor with her head resting on her brother who had fainted from the shock and pain of the transfer. As her head rested on her brother blood spilled from her mouth and tommy freely, tears also dripped from her eyes. She had a reminisce as her life force faded within her. She remembered the running after her brother in the sun and running after him in the rain with their face full of smiles. She also remembered her mother being struck down and her father handing her the sword with which Tsumugara had originally been sealed. She remembered him telling her to make sure that Tsumugara never to be unsealed from the sword and to keep her little brother safe. She also recalled how a sword covered with chakra pierced her father from the blue stripped face man.

As her life force faded and her eyes closed she remembered her brother again smiling as she spoke very softly in herself “I had hope broher you live happy as you have always been and this world never takes your joy and happiness from you but I now that it is impossible, It will never leave you alone; I only hope you would be able to smile still in this dark and wretched world.”
