Next Generation: Shiori Chronicles
Chapter Seventeen: Familiarity
As the night rolls into a new day, Kohaku’s group seems to be biding their time, waiting in fear for the dark miko’s strike when they least expect it. As Kohaku’s watches and waits with anxiety, Shiori goes to Shinto and checks his health from her Elder scepter. Kai hovers behind her, worried for his brother’s recovery.
Shiori bends down, inspecting the young Shinto who is still sleeping peacefully. He’s doing much better, and he hasn’t cried or growled in his sleep since Shiori’s scepter took effect.
Grabbing the scepter from its spot in the ground, Shiori rises to her feet and turns to an anxious Kai. “I don’t sense any of the malignant energy from the miko anymore. The scepter has cleansed him of it entirely.”
Kai sighs with relief, his expression awash with gratitude. “I can’t thank you enough, Shiori-san. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know how I would have cured him, if at all.” He frowns, looking at the ground morosely as his dark thoughts still loom over him. “I couldn’t bear to lose my brother…not like that, not like them.”
Shiori senses his pain, and she reaches out a comforting hand and rests it on his shoulder. He looks up, surprised by her touch. He stares at her intensely with his clear gray eyes.
“You don’t have to worry about any of that now. Shinta is safe,” Shiori says.
“Shiori-san,” he says, his hand covering hers. He takes her hand and squeezes lightly. “Please, I’d be honored to call you… Shiori-chan.”
Shiori feels flushed, and she turns to Kohaku who is watching with some interest. He seems intrigued, but she doesn’t sense anger or disappointment from him. He’s not even jealous?
“I…” she stammers, and Kai is waiting nervously. “Of course; I’d like that.”
