It was Sun rise as you and Kiriko arrived back at the Village. They were on edge because of the explosions that echoed throughout the night. The two of you arrived back at the Village as youse were approached by Tsukiko.
Tsukiko: We heard explosions! Do youse know what it was?
Kiriko looked at you.
(Y/N): It may of been me...
The whole crowd looked at you as Mayuka spoke up.
Mayuka: I thought you were just scouting the place out?!
(Y/N): I may have seen a few fuel tanks and shot them.
Kiriko: Now we don't have to deal with the local Renegade group now and the White fang wouldn't dare enter the forest as their too busy in Mountain Glenn.
Ria ran down from the temple and spoke.
Ria: The Elder would like to speak with youse.
(Y/N): Sounds like we're in trouble.
Kiriko: We shouldn't keep him waiting.
You both walk up to the temple where he stood angry.
Daigoro: Don't Speak.
He spoke trying to hold back the anger.
Daigoro: Dou youse know what would have happened if youse failed! Not only would the Village have been attacked but youse would have died!
You both stood with your heads down.
Daigoro: So give me one good reason why youse thought it was appropriate!
(Y/N): Sir. It was my fault. I dragged Kiriko into it. I just wanted to protect the Village and I had the best opportunity to do that last night.
Daigoro: So you risked your life, your cousins life, and the village's life! So you could protect us?!
Kiriko: Grandfather. I'm to blame as well. I willingly followed him and engaged the enemy in combat.
Daigoro: Silence!
You both stepped back as he spoke again.
Daigoro: I should be even angrier at you both but right now, I'm happy youse are safe. Go rest up both of you. I'll inform the Village of the situation. Tomorrow night we will organise a feast. Think of it as an official welcome to the clan.
You both bowed down as you and Kiriko spoke.
(Y/N)/Kiriko: Thank you Grandfather.
The two of you turn and walk to your rooms. You sat alone in bed looking at photos on your scroll. Photos of your team and more importantly photo's of Selena.
You looked at a photo from the dance of youse dancing then turned your scroll off before going to bed.
To be continued...
The next chapter will be short then soon we will be back on track with the main story.
