Chapter 10 - "Aquarius' Soul Within"

Arkin's P.O.V

My eyes fluttered slowly to open and adjusted at the ray of the sun shining through the window. I heard shuffling noises beside me and looked at the direction of the noise. There sat a smoking Hiroshi with his usual dark colored red yukata and back facing me. "Goodmorning." He greeted which took me by surprise. "It's not a good morning for me though". I shifted my head slowly into a more comfortable place. I heard a sigh and a tapping sound which I assume it's his tobacco again putting the light out.

"I know,are you hungry? Or anything that you may want to have?" Hiro stood up and faced me,looking at his still-weak student. I hummed in response saying, "Water please,my throat's like it haven't had water for decades". A soft chuckle came out his mouth. "You sure can talk after all that happened huh." Hiro said walking towards the door.

I slowly sat up and called out for his name and soon enough he came into a halt. "What happened exactly?" I asked curiousity in my voice. He lit up a tobacco once again and leaned on the wall beside the door.

"You were attacked by a ninja obviously, it seems to have its own mission to carry out that night and it happened to be that you're his target. Why? Since you're now the weilder of the 36th heavenly water katana,someone might recieved the notification and wants to steal it from you and also killing you in the process. The person who recieved your achievement notification is the one working under a dark guild, I assume that it is the 'Black Hacker's Guild'. Since it is the only guild who have access in black market. Your katana is quite a special item that explains they began their plot."

WOW. Didn't know my life is at stake just because I became the weilder of the 36th heavenly water katana O.o

My jaw dropped a little and I took time to process every detail he told me. "So you're saying those guys are strong?" I pointed out. "The pawns aren't, but the ones ordering the pawns are quite strong it's like they're the leader of the dark sides, all they do is just stealing anyway. But that doesn't mean you'll shrug it off,remember hackers are dangerous" Hiro stated puffing yet again another smoke.

"Okay kept that in my mind." I gently smiled at him which he smiled back. He went over my bedside, turning his back against me and crouched down
"Come on,hop on my back I'll just carry you towards the kitchen it's much safer if someone will accompany you"Hiro said. I pondered for a moment before shuffling and clung onto his back. "S-sorry I couldn't walk, my legs and body aren't just cooperating right now." I blushed out of embarrassment and hid my face at his back. He laughed while walking out of the room, carrying me at his back. "What's this? You don't look good when you're embarrassed." He said. My brow twitched, I was about to spat back but remembered that discipline comes first so I just sighed smiling at his back.

"Ne..."

We reached the ground floor of the guild and went to the kitchen. There we found a hungry eating Ranbu devouring all that's on the table. It seems that he sensed our presence because he stopped devouring the sliced meat. His gaze landed on me

"REYN! OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY?! IM SORRY WE HAVEN'T HELPED YOU LAST NIGHT! THERE WAS A SEALING BARRIER!"

I shut my eyes from the sudden outburst but opened it again when I felt Ranbu-san clung onto his brother's torso. "I'm-I'm okay now Ranbu-san..ehh don't worry." I sweatdropped since he was overreacting. "Get the fuck off me Ranbu let the person have some nice morning breakfast first before you start yelling and ruining her day." Hiroshi kicked his brother lightly but then again, Ranbu fell dramatically on the floor mouthing words that I can't hear.

After Hiro-san put me on a chair his helpers came rushing in the kitchen putting all different types of foods on the table and not long enough we started to dig in.
