The Phoenix's Clipped Wings | Kaedehara Kazuha

Chapter 44

Breathing heavily, Kazuha couldn't help but feel a bit shocked at the sight that was playing in front of them all.

He could remember that day back at the village where [Y/n] lost control and turned into something he had never seen before.

The reason why she let herself become that way....was for her teacher not to suffer another betrayal.

That night, he remembers that she finally opened up about her life as the guardian of the village.

-

"There is something, I wish to tell you." Kazuha looks down as [Y/n] buried her face in his chest and he held her close.

"What is it?" He asked quietly as she let out a hum.

"That day back at the village, there was a reason why I easily lost control of my emotions and turned into that monster." She said softly as she felt his hand in her hair, brushing it softly. "....I was told by a friend that was close to my teacher (Sentience), of one of her memories that my teacher long forgotten."

Kazuha stayed quiet, quietly listening to her. "Many eons ago, my teacher took in seven disciples and they were all orphans. These seven orphans grew up and in the end, they all got together and murdered their master."

Kazuha's eyes widened in surprised, not expecting this as he sat up and looked down at [Y/n] who was avoiding him.

"...why?"

She stayed quiet as she covered her bare chest with her arms, "...."

Kazuha wanted to pester more but she continued, "she can regenerate any wounds, making her immortal except that only weakness she had was her head."

She sat up and stared down at her hands, Kazuha could see a distant look in her eyes as she could see something he couldn't. "It was around midnight when she arrived at the place the all home, she suspected nothing until it was too late. The 5th out of the seven dealt the finally blow that pierced her forehead and in that instant, she lost those regeneration powers and that was end of her."

Kazuha's mind stayed blank as he tried to collect all this information, "but how...is she alive and what happened to those orphans?"

"She woke up a few years after that and what fate those orphans had well...."

She looked up at him, "while all they thought was about killing their master, they forgot about the one thing that come to get revenge."

She stretched her hands, letting out a small sigh as her hands let out a few pops.

"You see, they had forgotten that their master had someone who was very dear to her. This person was with her since the start of everything and when she returned from searching for something to gift for lover. She arrived at the place to see it all destroyed and rushed over to see if her lover was alright only to see her blood all over the place. This made her snap and went to hunt down very single of those orphans, killing them one by one since all she knew that her lover was dead at the time."

Kazuha brushed a few strands of hair away from her hair and behind her ear. She sighed as she remembered it all.

She fell back, looking at the ceiling as she pulled the covers over her as she glances at Kazuha who has a familiar look in his eyes.
