Witch of the Underworld

New Friends

For the next couple of months, Kazuma has been training me. It's extremely tiring, but I had to do it to protect myself. Kyoya would help me on most days by either sparring with me or giving me pointers. I was nowhere near his strength, but Kazuma said Hibari are naturally stronger than everyone. Iemitsu hasn't come home yet and it's been bothering mama. He sends letters and gifts as if that will appease us. At least I was able to complete my noise project. Iemitsu being gone was a blessing in disguise. I showed Kazuma the noise one day after training.

"What exactly is this?" He asked. The noise looked up at Kazuma.

"They're weapons."

"How?"

"They incinerate anything they touch. Essentially, their target will turn into dust."

"Even people?"

"Especially people. I perfected the formula to have them completely under my control. They'll attack or stop when I command them to." I said proudly.

"If I touch it, will it kill me?"

"Yes."

"You can't stop it?"

"It's something irreversible. Please don't try to touch them. Even I can't touch them and I'm their creator." Kazuma hummed and stroked his chin.

"If I use one of your tubes, will they listen to me?"

"I'm not too sure, but I think they'll just stand there waiting for my direction." The noise turned to me. "You can go now. Thank you." It made a chirping noise before destroying itself.

"How do you make them?" Kazuma asked. I went outside and brought in a handful of sand. I pressed my hands together and forged the formula onto them. When I opened my hands, four new tubes were in my hands.

"You made them out of sand?"

"I did. I can do anything." I said proudly.

"Can you turn lead into gold?"

"I can turn anything into gold if I wish it."

"You really are a miracle maker." I shook my head.

"I don't make miracles. I use alchemy."

"What about a philosopher's stone?"

"That requires a lot of work. Do you want one?" I asked.

"I heard it could grant immortality."

"Not really. It prolongs life to an extent, but it's more likely used to create a weapon." This got Kazuma's attention.

"A weapon?"

"Depending on how many sacrifices are made, the stone will be more powerful."

"And would someone like me be able to use that weapon?"

"I don't know. I'd be able to use it or those who come from alchemic blood lines would be able to. Tsuna and mama would be able to, but it wouldn't be at full power."

"And that would be because their blood is weak?"

"That's right. So far, I'm the only alchemist in Japan. I'm sure there are more around the world. Grandma said something about our blood containing the origin."

"What's that?" Kazuma asked.

"The origin is where alchemy was first created. My ancestor was the first alchemist known to the world."

"You're rather important, little alchemist."

"I guess I am. The dolls were made by my ancestor to protect their master whenever they were passed down to each generation."
