CHIZUKI

CHAPTER 3 - Mother's dream

RECAP

(While he was unconscious, a man appeared from the darkness.

"So this is the boy dear Chiyo was talking about..")

END OF RECAP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The man then picked him up and carried Rin on his back on a different path over to the mans house.

"This poor boy.."

8:00 AM

Rin then wakes up in an unfamiliar bedroom. He looks around confused and then realizes all his cuts, scratches, and bruises are all bandaged up. He feels his stomach growl as he realized he hadn't ate since yesterday evening. He struggles to get up from the pain in his legs but he manages to stand straight. He slowly starts to walk over to the kitchen, where he saw the man cooking breakfast. The man turned his head over to Rin.

"Hello sweet child. How are your wounds feeling?"

He said, with a calm sweet voice, along with a gentle smile.

"Who are you?"

Rin says, confused

"I guess we are changing the subject then! My name is Osama, i am also your mothers friend! She had talked about me to you a couple years back! Unless you don't remember."

Rin stares at him while also trying to remember what he was talking about. He finally remembers that moment a few years ago when his mother mentioned a specific "friend" of hers that would end up training him one day.

He nods

"Well great! Here, i just finished breakfast. Go eat! I know your hungry, Rin!"

Osama smiles brightly and hands the food over to Rin.

Rin takes the plate of food and looks at it, he smiles faintly

"Thank you, Osama."

Rin went over to the dining table and sat down while putting the plate infront of him. He picks up the utensils and started to dig into his food. He was quite hungry so he finished it quickly.

"Now! I want you to go rest since your wounds are still quite bad right? You're so young to be getting such bad wounds.... cmon now!"

Osama then went over to Rin and helped him walk over back to the bedroom. He lays Rin back down into his bed and leaves the room.

A MONTH AND A HALF LATER, APRIL 1ST 1899, 10:27 AM

"Unfortunately you have many scars on your arms and legs, but thats okay! That just shows you've been through a tough time!"

Osama said, along with a soft smile

"Well, im aware that all of your family members had passed away, is that right? Im sorry for bringing it up."

Osama says as his smile turned into a slightly nervous look.

"It is okay. You may continue what you were saying."

Rin says, with a soft, faint smile.

"Alright. Well, as i was saying. Do you have anyone else alive that you may know?"

Osama said, questioning

Rin then shook his head no.

"I haven't really ever had any friends, usually most people were jealous of me because my family was rich and maybe i was pretty i guess. Mother told me being pretty was a good thing, but i don't think having good looks is anything good."
