Chapter IV : What Sacrifice?

After a few weeks went day, Haru spent everyday coming to the village, so much so that the villager's had gotten quite used to her and seemed to enjoy to positive attitude and helpfulness, she had got to learn a lot more about the village History, and Jack had even allowed her to visit the palace, and even though they knew each other for a short while, they considered themselves good friends.

Jack and Haru where staying by the wheat field, both of them sitting on the grass, " Did you finish you book i gave you?" Said Haru, While making a flower crown, " I did, I wasn't aware that you liked Mythical creatures so much" Replied Jack.

" Its not mine, those book's are my father's, he is quite obsessed with it" Replied she while putting the crowd on top of her head, As the samurai simply nodded as an answer.

"..Oh dear I almost forgot! My parents are coming home today!" Said Haru before immediately standing up, " I'll accompany you " Said the Samurai, " Thank you..what do you think about meeting them today then?" Asked she.

" I would be honored to do so" Replied Jack with a smile, as they starter to make their way though the forest.

After a moment of walking, the finally made it to the mansion in the Middle of the mountain, but something felt strange, The door was wide open, Haru immediately stopped at the moment she saw it, immediately sensing that the situation was strange.

" I didn't leave the door open..Mother! Father! Are you here?!" Shouted Haru, As the Samurai stepped in front of her, " I'll investigate..stay here Haru" Said He.

Haru didn't have time to process what the Samurai said to her that she immediately ran towards the house, only to gasp in terror ti the horrible scene she was looking at.

The place was in ruin, all the furniture was destroyed, Glass shards from the window where on the floor as well as some paper documents, the bookshelves where emptied, and the piano she has spent Hours of her life playing on was ripped apart on the ground.

In a second Gasp on horror, Haru took a step back from the house bumping into the samurai that was right behind her, as he slowly takes her by the shoulder's to take her behind him, " I'll take care of it..you stay here okay?" Said the samurai before going inside.

Tears where coming out of her eyes, she tried herself to think rationally but couldn't help herself but imagine the worst scenarios, and the fact that she didn't have a clue was more than torture to her, and after a few minutes Jack finally came out of the House, with an Express showing both terror and engagement, as he angrily held a piece of cloth in his hand.

" What..is that?" Asked Haru, " ..Its Aku.." Replied the samurai, As she showed her the demonic symbol that was  drawn on the piece of cloth, " What?! H-How could it be! Didn't you destroy him?" Asked Haru in a rush of panic.

" Yes..yes i did, or i though so, I know this demon will do everything to come back to our world" Said the Samurai, " B-But what do we have to do with this! We where just living peacefully!" Cried she.

" I..think i have an idea why" Said the samurai, seemingly Hésitant, As he took out a piece of paper out of his Gî, " What is..this?" Asked Haru.

As Haru reached out her Hand to take the piece of paper, She found herself Horrified to read what was written on his, as her stomach tighten immediately, hand shaking uncontrollably, The Samurai slowly held her by the shoulder's noticing her reaction, " Haru please calm down!" said the samurai, As Haru couldn't hold such a shock, she ended up Fainting in the samurai's Arms, as he immediately catches her.
