Chapter 21: Hachis test.

"What... a fight?"

"You actually dont have a choice."

Mikuma grew long green swords on his hands and ran towards Hachi, Hachi used (ice gleamer swords), a ice sword than appeared in his hands, mikuma slashed Hachi's sword in half and made a long cut on his stomach. Hachi than jumped back.

"How are you so fast?, I didn't evens see you."

"Fast?, this isn't evens my top speed kid, but I'll show you my true power..., unknown style: vine locks!."

Glowing green vines rushed out of the ground and took ahold of Hachi before he could jump, he than struggled to breath as the vines tightened on him. Mikuma than dashed at Hachi with his sword and pierced it threw his chest. Mikuma began smiling like a demon as he watched Hachi scream.

"Is that all you got Hachi?"

"I...i..."

"Dont bother, in a few seconds you will no longer live,...you weren't evens worth my time kid."

Mikuma began walking away from Hachi leaving him in the darkness to die alone, Hachi began crying, he started see memories of him and Alina in the castle.

They were in the garden picking some fruit, Hachi saw a spider and hid behind Alina, alina laughed at him.

"Ohh Hachi its just a spider."

"I cant help it Alina, its just creepy looking."

"Ohh, so would you still be afraid and run away if someone like a bandit were to hurt me?"

"Umm I, I dont...im not sure actually."

"What?, thats your answer?, if it were you I wouldn't hesitate and protect you."

"What why, why would you wanna protect such a week person like me."

"Weak?, your not weak Hachi, maybe your afraid but im sure your really strong inside, you know I always wanted to travel the world one day and find the pearl of Ashwat, legend has it that who ever finds it will be able to talk to the dead, I wanted to use it to speak to my mom, but im not strong enough to go out there by myself Hachi."

Alina became sad, she sat there on the ground trying to hide her face, but Hachi turned her head to her and smiled.

"Don't worry Alina, one day you will get that pearl, im sure of it."

"Really?, how sure are you about that?"

"Quite sure, because im going to find it for you."

Alina huged Hachi, he fell over with her ontop of him, he started turning red, he was still and unable to move. Alina than kissed him on his cheek.

"You promise Hachi, that you will find it for me one day."

"Yess..., ofcourse."

"Okay, untill you do, you better become stronger and not die, because if you don't ..."

Hachi than came to his senses, he was back in the dark area, he noticed that he was going to die if he lost any more blood or that he will be sqeezed to death by the vines.

"I will make your dream come true Alina, I promise!"

All of a sudden Hachi's cheecks turned ice blue and his eyes began glowing blue, cold vapor than came out of his mouth.

"Ice style zero openings!"

The vines that was holding Hachi froze in an instant and as Hachi pulled out his arms the frozen vines shattered. Mikuma turned around with a surprised look on his face as he walked back to Hachi.
