‘Here have a seat Layla’, Layla was a bit worried about her
accepting the whole new quest, she just finish one after all. Layla pretty sure
she is not interested to have another especially so soon.
‘Do you know about your long lost sister and her whereabouts?’.
Layla was about to open her mouth when
the waitress approach them and ask for their order. Layla order a nice hot
chamomile tea meanwhile Shikari orders a nice hot ice tea. For the main course
both of the women decided to have the same dish.
‘I hardly know where she is but what I do know she is fine’.
Not long after, their drinks have arrive. Shikari doesn’t want to rush things
so she ask Layla to relax and just have a nice chat. ‘Well, when I was away, I
learn that a way had been developed to recreate what had been lost. To fill the
emptiness’.
‘What do you mean by that’, Layla lean closer, somehow she
is attracted towards the topic Shikari about to bring up. ‘Well…’, Shikari
drummed her fingers on the desk before she continues.
‘I’m not perfectly sure it is possible but what I know is we
need to enter the spirit realm and find the place called death chamber to
change her future’. Layla eyes become wide when she heard that, for sure
something easy she could do but something as big as that, not so much.
‘But Shikari how are we suppose to go there? Is there even a
way to do it?. Shikari is about to speak about their new mission when their food
arrive. ‘How about we eat first and talk later, furthermore you aren’t in the
rush to see him do you?’, Shikari wink. Layla face is stained with red velvet
color. Sheesh this people! Could they stop teasing me with him. It’s
not like we are meant to be together.
The waiter came and pick up their tray ‘Oh if you don’t mind
we would like a dessert please. I want that triple cheese layer cake and she
wants the triple dark chocolate layer cake.’ The waiter nod and went to fetch
their orders. ‘What was that for?.’
Shikari shrug, she didn’t drag Layla all the way here for
some not juicy information about Layla. She wants to confirm Layla’s true
desire for love or not. ‘Aside from that, let me tell you how to enter the
spirit realm. To be exact our body isn’t allow in there but our souls does’.
‘What do you mean by that actually?’. Shikari brought out a
pad and a pencil to sketch her explanation. ‘There are seven guardians of
colors, each guardian posses a powerful energy that can part a self-consciousness
from the body or easy to say soul. But we are just like a frail body when we
enters the spirit realm, there no magic so in conclusion we are worthless.
Unless we are to use the item’.
Out of nowhere, Shikari brought out a deck, she gesture
Layla to take a look. Each card represent either an equipment,
monsters or spells. Layla put down the
card, she rub her temples everything seems so blurry, she seems hard to
understand everything. ‘Are you saying to use the power inside the spirit realm
we need to use the cards you have given here right.’
‘Precisely, I had develop inter-dimensional cards that
can go through many dimension and will be very sufficient for each and every
task we are about to do’. Layla cross
her arms, that means she is in serious mode. ‘But can we really rely on this in
each and every different realm?’.
‘By the looks of it, the portion of the magic energy you put
is too little. I believe if we use it once we can hardly use it again. The
container of energy you put in here is very delicate, one rock of a card then
boom, just say good bye’, Ash put down the card and face Layla with a toothy
grin.
Both women are shocked to see the orange dundle head
there. Shikari is the first to say
something after the shocking event. ‘I believe what you just said is right.
Maybe we need another plan to enter the spirit realm’. Ash scratch the back of
his head, he just got there so he didn’t understand the whole what they are
doing stuff ‘Why do you need to go to the spirit realm so badly?’.
‘We need to bring the crystal princess inside a death chamber
to change her destiny’’, Layla pause for a moment when their cakes arrive.
There was a slight twist on Ash’s face when he heard that ‘Why do we need to
get into such unimportant things? Why do we need to bring her there? That place
sent the shivers through my spines even a doofus would know that is the last
place anyone should choose to change somebody else’s future’.
Ash stands up and push his chair ‘You know Layla you
shouldn’t be doing this shit if you trust your sister to change. Give her a
chance, she's a big girl. She knows what she is doing and what we can do is help
her from the sideline. We are not meant to interfere with anything especially
if it involves someone’s future and if it meant your own sister future’. Layla
bangs covers her eyes when her hears those words comes out of Ash’s mouth. He
sounds stern, his ego is taking over him and Layla knew it but she is too piss
off by what he wants to say.
‘You knew nothing or what she had been through her whole
life. I am willing to lay down my life for her if it meant to change her. You
know nothing about June!!!’, at the last part somehow Layla was flustered too
much she bang the table until it is crooked.
Ash was shocked that he flustered the girl so much. Is it
that time of the month? Shikari who is trapped between the awkward moment mouthed Ash to go. Luckily, Ash understand without a second thought he left
the café. Shikari could see the sad eyes of the fire dragon tamer. Layla sit
down with her chest heave up and down. Tears still stained her beautiful face.
She face planted herself on the crooked table. Shikari could
hear her soft sobbing underneath, Shikari don’t know what to do except to pat
the girl on the back. The same waiter that serve their food come to ask about
Shikari companion, shikari just reply yes and they are leaving.
‘Huh, this is not what I intended to happen’, she murmurs.
The waiter give her the change and softly reply ‘I think she need emotional
support, maybe she is in some sort of a bad decision? I overheard it’s about
her little sister future. I too have a little sister and I understand what
condition she is in and I also know not to interrupt her life but what I can do
is morally support her from the background.’
‘Thanks. Can I ask
your name please Mr. Feel it all’, Shikari sarcastically ask. The waiter hand
her his card ‘Hmmm, Zeimmi Sekaii. nice name….’, when she look up the person is
nowhere to be seen. Shikari could feel something is off but before she could do
anything a soft wet hand grab her shoulder.
Which sends the package flying through the roof,
Literally. She turn around to beat the
hell out of the person that shocked her except ‘Good heavens what happened to
you Layla’, the girl behind her looks very awful, her face is drenched with
tears and her mascara leaks like a holed gutter. Gulping the extremely
disturbing sigh she pull the girl into the toilet to freshen up.
‘Layla I think what Ash said is true maybe we shouldn’t
force her to do things she didn’t want to do but we convince her’. Layla
stiffen when Shikari agree on what Ash just said, she on the other hand is
extremely didn’t know what to do.
Out of nowhere these words shot out of her mouth ‘Just which
side are you on? Are you backing me up or are you just trying to mess with my
head?’. Shikari takes a few step back, she didn’t know that Layla is this
disturbed, gulping all the fears away she ask this one important question ‘Are
you in that time of the month?’.
Layla gasps, she count the days and recount it. In just a
few minutes she nod. Shikari sigh ‘Good heavens what a disturbance. Maybe we
can talk later, after you are emotionally stabilize. Let me send you home. I
don’t want you screaming at everybody on the way back.’ Layla smirk when those
words shot out of Shikari mouth.
It’s hurt but it’s the truth, should she fight the truth. As
they we on their way back, Layla saw a glimpse of a person with another,
happily seeing through a present store. Curiosity takes hold of her mind when
she pull Shikari into a dark alleyway ‘Aiee! What are you up to now Layla’, she
low her voice when she finds out when Layla is doing.
Shikari sees as Layla grip deepens at the red bricked
building Ash will sure get a beating. After the little thought, the
building give a little sound of crack. Layla turn around, Shikari face is
white, whiter than anything she ever see. The weirdness keep coming when
Shikari shake her head like a maniac and screaming about ‘No.. it can’t be!’
and ‘she is going to do suicide!’ and ‘Dear god save this woman in agony’.
Layla takes a last glance at the intimate couple, a soft
smile spread across her face. ‘If you smile then I will too. That’s my - please
forgive me gift’, she closes her eyes and stand up to leave when a song piece
through her ears.
It hurts me to know it hurts me to see,
You love another except me,
Why…..
This world is so cruel,
Parting me and you,
I’m standing here waiting for you,
At a hill that stores too many memoirs of you,
I watch as the stars twinkle,
I wish under the full moon,
One day you and I will be together,
One day you and I will be together,
This wish may not be granted ,
Bur I do hope you know,
That my hearts yearns for your warmth,
I watch in silence as the first snow falls,
Represent the cold broken heart.
Right after the song , a snow landed on the palm of Layla, ‘Snow?’,
then it triggers her. In the song there are clues where the singer might be.
Layla frantically look around. ‘She wish under
the full moon fill with stars and memories’. She murmurs the clue again
and again.
She jump when she finally find the answer ‘Memory make hill’,
she turn around, a glimpse of light caught her eyes. ‘I knew it!’, she quickly
head for the hill, running through the cold thick snow, she put everything behind
her as her mind only have this one name.
‘Do you really think my song will bring her here Aniki’, the
hooded boy smile and brush the girl dark blue hair. ‘FYI (For your information) Your sister loves your
songs believe me she will be here within minutes.’
The smile that once gone is finally there, the girl shine
away every fear as a lukewarm feeling takes hold of her. ‘I can’t wait to give onee-chan
this’, she open her palm and a white crystal flower shine under the moon light.
