Kwami Origin: Before The Miraculous

Chapter 3

After the event, Tiki cleaned off the makeup and took off her fancy kimono from the banquet getting ready for her leave. She was getting sick of Yamato ego and is finally glad that he left. She waits till everyone is asleep as she picks up everything she'll need for her trip. Then she pulls from her closet a rice farmer outfit. Its old with smudges but she wanted to be worn out enough so she cannot be recognized by the guards. Someone Knocked at her door it was Ming. Tiki let her in to help her with looking more like a peasant.

Tiki pov
"Hopefully no one will recognize me,"I say as I adjust on the outfit that Ming gave me.

"Don't worry they won't, everyone thinks you don't exist," Ming says as she tried to cover my face with ashes to make people think I am not from a rich family. Yeah, I don't exist.

"Oh. I wished Yamato didn't think I exist."

"Yeah, you were definitely his center of the universe next to himself." Ming giggled to lighten the mood.

"Yeah don't remind me. All he talked about how he ruffly the size of a god." Tiki eye rolled in annoyance.

"He was handsome." Ming sang in a daze.

"Well that not going to be the reason why I am going to marry him." she shakes her head, "There is no reason."

"Please reconsider about leaving. What about your father he adores you!" ming pleaded.

"It's better if I just go. He does not want me here and I don't want to be trapped behind another wall." she frankly says as she tightens her peasant kimono.

"But how are you going to survive to live in the village? Or have a home?" Ming spilled a bunch of questions until she ran out of breath.

"Ming I have to go. What wrong?" Tiki noticed that Ming had something troubling her mind.

Ming eyes watered but took in a deep breath, "I'm just going to miss you so much."

Tiki hugged her best friend, "I'll miss you too. Thanks for everything." Tiki fixed the hairpiece into place then grabbed her satchel that filled with bronze and some basic necessity. She waves goodbye and walked through the hall. Once she left Ming to let out a tear and wished her luck.

Ming pov
Tiki shuts the door behind her leaving me alone. I shed another tear then looked down in shame as I go to my quarters. I go sit on my futon and look out through the window. Charcoal black uncontrollably covered in thousands and millions of bright specks. I can see a star, after star, after star, a never-ending void of light that ancestors show with no guidance for my eyes.

But I pray you'll be my eyes great ancestor and watch my sister on where she goes on her journey.

Lead her to a place where she is safe. Guide her with your grace. Please let her find your light and hold it in her heart. Help me let go that she is in danger. As darkness falls each night please protect to so I can one day see her come back.

I sigh and look up the sky. Please be okay Tiki.

Third pov

Tiki went through the hallways while dodging some of the maids. She peeked to see her father sleeping on his futon. She sighs in sadness and pulls out her yo-yo. The one he gave her when her mother died. She thinks about not leaving it but was sure about what she was doing.

She stares at the red disk and closes her eyes to take a deep breath. She tiptoes and lay her yo-yo in hand. She whispered goodbye and left to the garden. She dodged the guards that were passing through. She went to the cherry blossom tree that leaned on the wall. She quickly climbs the tree until she can reach the edge of the wall. She pulls herself up on the top to look down to see a hay cart she took a last glance at her home and jump.

Soon after Tiki left
Her father was startled awake by a terrible dream, Tiki! He cried out.

"What wrong Saizo?" His wife woke up in a yawn like a cat.

His hand grip on the yo-yo that Tiki place in his hand. He faced turned white he quickly got his cane to run to Tiki room. The room was dark with nothing untouched and cold.

He yelled out for Tiki but there was no answer. He stood there leaning on the entrance as his heart distraught. Tiki stepmother came in with a shock expression.

"Oh no." Tiki stepmother said in an exaggerated sympathy before slumping her lip with an eye roll. "Where do you think she could have gone?"

"I don't know but I want my Tiki back!" he coughed furiously, "I'm to get to get the guards to search the village," Saizo said before going rushing away from his wife.

After he was gone from earshot. Katara (stepmother) walked around the empty room. "Oh, you think you can just fly the coop. We'll don't worry Tiki, at least you save me time on getting you out of here. I don't know how you escape you little brat. But that won't matter because you're not coming back. You can't survive out there and if you did. Well... If you did return everything will be under new control and you wouldn't even want to come back." she laughs at herself as she looks in the mirror to see a demon warrior in it.
