'the umbrella is yang, the human is yin'
'because I want you to be ready for what's destined to be yours'
'you will be entitled as the new Onmyouji Master''
'Seimei umbrella will be your yang and you will be it's yin'
'you can do it, onee-chan!'
My both eyes are closed and meditating. l am reminiscing few memories from before. Voices travel inside my head, hearing through my ears. All of us shall have high hopes. My loved ones' support, it inspires me. I must not give up.
I opened my eyes to see my brothers struggling to defeat this enormous mollusk. It has transformed now into it's true form of an octopus. It really looks hideous and monstrous.
Itsuo and Daichi are held up in two of the monster's tentacles. Katsuki is covered in toxic black ink while Kosuke is trying to heal him. Akio and Ren they've fainted down to the ground. My brothers can't make it to fight anymore.
I breathe in then exhales the fear of losing and the worries for my brothers. I should not be scared because I am our only hope.
"Ibaraki Doji!" I shouted with the rest of my strength to call the shikigami. "Do you still have much power to hold it up?" I asked.
"Hai, master. What do you want me to do?" he said while taking heavy breaths. He must be tired, too. We didn't expect this monster to be so powerful.
"Okay, listen up. I want you to use your claws to hold him up as long as you can and I will put him down. Trust me!" I commanded to him. "Now!"
"Yaaaaghh!" he summons a giant claw of a blazing dragon from the shattered ground enough to hold the octopus. In a snap of a finger, the thrilling claw grabbed the monster immobilizing it for a moment.
And now it's my time to defeat it.
I held the Seimei umbrella on its handle and took a stance to throw it.
I can totally feel it. The magic. The power. The strength of the umbrella. And the strength of mine. We're the greatest when we are together.
I turned around then release it aiming towards the monster.
I succeeded, I made it bled of dark blue blood. "AAAAAAAARGH!" it shouted in pain.
Magical power of yin and yang, I must release you. I took a breath and let out my power,
"Shogyo Mujo!!" I yelled with all of my voice and right at that time I witnessed the real power of me, and the Seimei umbrella.
Inexplicable magic is continuously bursting out from the umbrella. It's like tons of enchanted and powerful cherry blossoms. I'm right, these are sakura flowers and lots of them. It looks so dazzling. Each flower cuts like thousands of blade draining the strength and endurance of the monster.
I teleported to the Seimei umbrella and without a split of time, another kind of power occured when we became one again. We stunned the monster out of its consciousness.
"Shogyo Mujo!" I shouted again. And for the second time, a huge sakura formed around me and the umbrella dealing another magic damage. I am amazed of what the two of us can do. Our power is beautiful.
The Akkorokamui, it's gone. It was torn up into pieces. Completely banished by the powerful Seimei umbrella,.. and me. I can't believe it.
And after that, darkness swallowed my sight and what I last remembered is I fell on someone's hand, or maybe claws.
- the next morning -
I woke up inside my room and it smells something aromatic. It's already morning I can say because bright sun's rays pass through the window.
I glanced at my table on the left and saw a hot well prepared tea with a note under it.
'Thank you for saving us, little sister. Drink this so you will feel better. - Kosuke'
Is it real? He never treated me so special. My heart flutters with love. This day started so far so good. I smiled genuinely.
"You have made it, my dear." an old voice said. I know whose it was.
I looked around and saw my grandmother beside me who was watching me rest. She smiles at me brighter than the sun of this morning. I can feel her happiness.
"You have proven me that I am right. You showed us that you sre the real Onmyouji Master. I am the very glad for you." she said proudly.
I reached her and approached her with a warm embrace. I felt so comfortable inside her hands.
"I made it, sobo. Thanks to you." I told her then releases away from the hug.
"Kagura, it's all thanks to you. I told you that your power is great with the Seimei umbrella. And with it, you saved our palace." said grandmother.
"But without your support, I know I couldn't make it." I replied.
She chuckled, "You always have my support, my love. Always remember that."
"Hai, sobo. Thanks a lot." I said.
"You should drink your tea made by your brother Kosuke while it still hot. He made it with love like he never did before. I should go." she said then she stood up and left my room with a sweet smile on her face.
I drank the tea that my brother made for me and it relieved me to peace. It relaxes my body and it felt like I was born again.
I want to see what happened to my brothers, Daichi, Akio, Ren, Itsuo and Katsuki. I want to know that they are fine, too.
I headed to my oldest brother's room. But what I heard from the outside trembled me.
"Where were you?!" It's Daichi. He must be scolding someone. Should I enter? I am terrified. I gasped and heard something again.
"DID YOU KNOW THAT WE ALMOST GOT KILLED?!" he shouted filled with anger. "WHAT KINDS OF BROTHERS ARE THE TWO OF YOU?"
