The Six Heavens of Mishna Chapter 6 “SUSAKI!!!!” The figures yelled. They all ran towards her, and gathered around Susaki. A male figure knelt by her side and cradle her head in his left arm as his right hand searched for her pulse. When he felt her pulse he side in relief. “Is she okay, Satoki-kun?” Reiko asked “She’s okay.” Satoki answered and he heard sighs of relief all around him. “That was a powerful blast she received.” Reiko said as she picked Susaki up and walked to the second tent where the bandage were. While the others gathered around the fire and discussed about what they experienced in their ‘dream’. “It was so weird. I was floating in the dark and this wolf like creature that was only made of lightning appeared behind me. It said something about two choices...and someone named Midi...then something about touching his forehead....and having immortality...and susaki in trouble...then a blinding white light appeared and I was back here laying on the floor. I was dazed and I heard a man’s voice talking to Susaki...and then when I was getting up I saw him throw a lighting bolt at Suki-chan...and I felt something inside me burn...and my body took over...almost like it done it before.” Koji recited the events that went on in his ‘dreams’. “That summarized what happened to me but mine was a snack...I think it was made of energy or something like that...you?” Hiroshi said. “Pretty much the same....dragon you saw it.” “The same....Falcon, it was normal....color brown and gold.” “Tiger you saw it before.” Reiko said as she came out of the tent and sat right next to Koji, who placed his right arm around her slender waist slightly pulling her closer to him. “How’s Ki-chan?” Satoki asked concerned “She took a hell of a hit and the water she stood in did not help at all. She’ll be all right but she may take a while in healing.” Reiko reported Satoki sighed in relief. “That’s good.” Hiroshi whispered. “You know I don’t get it,” Reiko said out loud and everyone faced her. “What don’t you get?” Koji asked her. “Why is an unknown enemy constantly attacking us. First, it was we; Kera, Hiroshi, Susaki and I. Then it was you guys, then I and Kera, and finally Susaki. It’s like we are not suppose to be here...like someone put us here for a reason...or like they don’t want us to know something.” She answered “I agree with her....it just doesn’t feel right, you know?” Satoki agreed. “Like I’m suppose to protect something or ones.” “But what does all this mean though? None of this makes any sense.” Kera said Frustrated by the whole ordeal. “Sure it does Kera-chan.” A young bubbly voice called from behind them. They all turned around to find a young girl five feet from the ground with her eyes closed. She had angel like wings that were spread out. Her shirt was the style of old fashion Chinese clothes. It come down to her knees and two slits on both sides. She wore pants that seems a little baggy. Black shows like ballet were on her foot. Her outfit was purple and the boarders were outlined in gold. Her pale blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail, her bangs were layered on her face. Gold earrings set off her light purple eyes. Three gold bracelets were on her right arm and a bold ankle bracelet rested on her left ankle. Her wings encircled her as she set foot on the ground and vanished. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled at the alarmed group. ‘They haven’t changed. It’s good to be with them again.’ ‘She looks familiar.’ They all silently said “Don’t be alarmed please. I’m your guide and a friend, Midi Songshi, angel from the heavens.” Midi explained to them as she saw they got in a fighting position. “I’ll explain everything to you, like the animals told you. But before that I need all six of you here. Satoki-kun could you please bring Susaki-chan?” Satoki was taking back as she spoke his name like he was a long lost friend. “How do you know my name?” He covered it up and looked suspicious at Midi. “Please, I will not harm you. Trust me when I say I’m here to help.” Midi spoke with a convincing voice. She looked at Kera and smiled. “Tell them Kera-chan. Your power of love and spirit, it can help you tell who are your foe and alley.” Everyone turned to Kera and she nodded, “I don’t know how but she can be trusted. Saki-chan you can bring Suki-chan, it’s safe.” Everyone nodded and Satoki went to retrieve Susaki from the tent. He walked back to the group with Susaki in his arms, still very much unconscious. Midi walked towards them and placed her hand above Susaki’s chest barely touching. “What do you think you’re doing?” Koji asked but Midi did not respond. A bright gold light emitted from Midi’s hand and bathed Susaki in it. When the light dimmed Midi took a step back. A few seconds later and Susaki slowly opened her eyes. Her vision blurry at first, she blink numerous of times before she could really see. “Ki-chan.” She heard a deep husky yet concerned voice call her name. “What happened?” She asked “Suki-chan!!!” Everyone else yelled with joy. Satoki set her down and held her by her waist to support her. “Suki-chan are you okay?” Reiko asked concerned. “Yes, I’m all right.” Susaki whispered. “Ahem.” Midi cleared her throat. Everyone turned to her to see Midi smiling brightly towards him or her. They all thanked her and told Susaki what was going on. After they introduced Susaki to Midi they were all seated except for Midi who stood in front of them. “Guardians of the six heaven of Mishna I call upon you.” Midi yelled. A burst of flames gush by Midi’s right side and a tiger was formed by the flames. A small part of the ground emerge and shaped into a golden/brown falcon. A blood red snake materialized next to the falcon. On Midi’s left side, a puddle of water surface on the earth and molded itself into a half eagle half swan bird. Next to that lightning struck the soil and a wolf made of lightning stepped out. A bright light come into sight and when it dimmed a long dragon floating two feet from the ground. The six on the ground watched in awe as the animals come to view in their own special way. “I’ll start in the beginning.” Midi sat in the between the tiger and the bird, absent mindly petting them. ‘Okay Midi make this good...she’s going to kill me when she finds out I’m lying to her....but it has to be this way until it’s time for them...I just hope she doesn’t kill me.’ Midi cleared her throat and began. “Mishna was a glorious city in the heavens. The rulers of the city was the most generous kind and loving people. Six warriors protected them. One vampyre, one dwarf, two elf and two humans. In other words you guys...” “Excuse me? Umm...who’s the vampyre?” Satoki asked “That would be me.” Everyone turned to face Reiko. “It’s not like I drink blood or anything....that’s just sick.” Reiko wrinkled her nose. “In order to become the guardians you had to be chosen by birth. None of you any of this till this day. There were other generations before you, guardians that is. Each one of you has an element for power but that those not mean, that's the only power you can control.” Midi stopped and looked at everyone with a smile. “I have been watching over you since you were born...” “But how is that possible? You’re just a kid.” Susaki stated. “Don’t let my appearance or my attitude fool you. I am more than a thousands years old.” “WHAT???!!!!” Everyone yelled in surprise. The animals seem to be smirking at their reaction, and thinking the same thing. ‘Wait till they find out we can talk.’ “How old exactly are you?” Kera asked coming out from the shock. “1,989 years old.” “DAMN!!!” “How is this?” “I am an angel. We angels are immortal, but back to what I was saying. I’ve been watching over you and other generations. I was chosen to guard over you until you were old enough to know what you are here for, then I’ll become one of you. The animals around me are like your watchers. They protect and heal you even though you don’t know it. They have been with you since the day you were born, and bonded to each other by soul. Whatever you feel, like; love, hatred, anger etc. they will feel it too. Sometimes they have a mind of their own.” Midi looked down at the falcon and it smiled sheepishly. “Mishna is what you need to find.” “Which one?” Satoki asked “The child.” Midi answered “How does he look like?” Reiko questioned “And how do we find the city?” Koji interrogated “You will know him once you see him.” Midi looked at Reiko dead in the eye “Especially you, Reiko-sam....san.” Before Reiko could asked her what she meant Midi turned away from her and began to talk. “There will be some obstacles that you need to get through before you get to the child and the city. As for where the city is? You will have to find out yourselves. I am not allowed to tell you anything aside from what you need to comprehend. I’m also here to train you to defeat the danger to come and to take you to your rightful home.” “What about the King and Queen? How are we suppose to find them if we don’t know how they look like?” Satoki asked. “Where is our home?” Kera asked “You will find out how they look like and then find them on your own. I am not to help you in that matter. And as for your home? Mishna is your home. You were born there and sent here to learn a lesson. All the generation go through that process.” Midi stood up and walked up to the snake in the beginning of the line. She looked up to the heavens. “I will now tell you the names of these Watchers and to whom they belong to.” “Hiroshi Hiroku, this here is your watcher. The god of destruction and death Shoutian.” The snake crawled to Hiroshi. Midi moved to the falcon. “Satoki Siejiko, this is your guardian. The god of the earth, Shentaru.” The falcon flew over to Satoki and perched himself on Satoki’s shoulder. “The god of fire, Shentu. Belongs to you Reiko Sabuki.” Midi said as she stepped over to the tiger. Shentu walked to Reiko and laid by her side protectively. “Shutan, goddess of the waters is yours Susaki Minoshi.” Shutan flew into Susaki’s arms. Midi walked over to the wolf. “The god of lightning and wind, Shanti. Koji Kunlu, he is your watcher.” Shanti walked over to koji with an amusing grin. “And lastly, but not least.” Midi said with a mystery as she placed her hand on the dragon’s head. ”Kera Hiroshima, leader of the Six Heavens meet your watcher, Shitian god of love and spirit.” Shitian flew towards Kera and wrapped itself gently around Kera. Midi stood in front of them with a smile, “With your guardians you will grow stronger than you are now. That’s all I can tell you, for now. We will beginning training tomorrow.” She spoke seriously. She turned to look at Susaki and smiled lively again. “Susaki-san happy 18th birthday!!! I’m sorry it was ruined for you.” Susaki smiled. “Thank you Mi-chan. It wasn’t your fault and please drop the formality. You can call me Su, Sa, Suki or anything like that is fine with me.” Susaki beamed. “Ummm....excuse me Midi-san, what about the enemy we are suppose to fight? Who are they? And what do they want? And the child? When do we start looking for him?” Reiko asked. “Who’s going to take care of him?” Midi looked at Reiko, ‘She’s changed...well I should have expect it.’ Midi focused her view. “I’m sorry but I can not answer that. You have to learn it yourself? I’m only here to train you and to point you at the right direction.” She said. Before Reiko could say anything else Koji cut in. “weren’t you listening before?” “Shut the fuck up, KOJI!!!” Reiko growled “Now why should I?” He continued mocking her “Because I wasn’t talking to you, DUMB ASS!!!! So leave the hell alone!” Reiko stood up and glared at the snickering Koji. Before she turned around she smacked him hard in the back of the head. “OW!!!” Koji yelled in surprise. Some laughed and the rest rolled their eyes at the scene. Shanti interrupted Koji who was cursing at Reiko under his breath. “If you don’t stop, you’ll find yourself eating those words.” He chuckled, he had a slight teasing voice. Startled, Koji jumped and looked at Shanti. “Did you just talked?” “And what’s the matter with talking? We can all talk, you know?” Shentu spoke with his eyes closed, which hasn’t moved from his spot that was near Reiko until she moved. “Sorry, don’t take it personal...gee.” Koji stood up. “Well, I have to go see if my little vampyre is ok.” He started walking towards the tent as he mumbled something. The others caught something, “ An elf and a vampyre? What a combination. Oh well.....” That was all they heard Midi giggled and everyone looked at her, “They are always like that.” “What do you mean?” Kera asked a little puzzled “Oh...that the pri....warrior of Shentu and Shanti in every generation they act like they get on each others nerve, but they really love each other though.” “I bet you Reiko is beating the hell out of koji.” Hiroshi said with a grin. Satoki smirked as he agreed with Hiroshi “I bet they are kissing right now.” Susaki shot back with Kera and Midi on her side. “How much do you want to bet?” Satoki asked “$100...” The girls looked at each other smirking and looked back at the guys. “EACH!” The group (without the animals) went to the tent and opened it slightly enough for them to see. They saw Reiko about to slap Koji but Koji held the arm she was about to slap him with. He yanked her gently towards him pressing his body on hers. He wrapped his free hand around her waist and with an amuse grin he kissed her passionately. Reiko no longer angry with him buried her free hand in his silver hair bringing his head lower. The group removed themselves from the tent. The girls with wide wicked grins sketched on their faces held their hands towards the men, who were cursing under their breaths. “Pay up!” The girls said in union. The animals heard them and grinned. The guys took out three hundred yen and brought it out, the girls reached for it to find the guys were holding on tightly. “Let go!” “No, I can’t.” The guys said. “Let go or I’ll cut off something you don’t want to lose.” Susaki threatened and immediately the guys let go and the girls fell on their asses. Hearing what susaki said the animals started to snicker and turned around to watch what the reaction was. Their snickering turned into a roar of laughter. ::::::::^_^::::::: “This is crazy!!! My men are dying from little punk ass kids!!!” A dark deep full of evil voice boomed from the dark room. “EVILLACHE!!!” He screamed “Yes!” A calm yet dark feminine voice called out from the darkness. “Go see what those pain in the neck heaves are doing. Report everything.” He ordered “Yes.” The voice vanished with the body in a thin light. “They will not find the child or the king and queen.” ::::::::^_^::::::: ‘I wonder how Midi is doing?’ the voice thought She waved her hand in front of her and an image of the two guys and three guys playing tug-a-war with what looked like three hundred dollars. She then heard Susaki say something and laughed at the reaction it had on guys. She saw the girls stand up from their fall rubbing their butts while muttering something under their breaths. She giggled and turn off the image. “Good! Things are looking up. Keep it going Midi and please hurry. I don’t think Mishna can stand that long.” She sighed. “Oshio!!” The woman called A male angel with black wings, materialize in front of the woman. “Yes?” “Look for the child, when you find him keep your eyes on him.” “yes.” He bowed and faded away. ::::::::^_^::::::: Oshio appeared in an alley. he closed his eyes and his body shimmer a deep red. His black wings folded and vanished. His old Chinese fashion clothes dissolve and changed into citizen’s clothes. His long ebony hair was loosely tied and his red eyes changed to normal gold ones. He walked out of the alley and began his search for the child. ‘Midi hurry up...if you can.’ he thought. ::::::::^_^::::::: “Evillache, did you find anything useful?” The deep voice called “No sir. They only show immaturity. They have started their training and a new girl with wings showed up. But other than that nothing useful.” Evillache said in disgust. ‘How can they kill my brothers? They are weak fools who know nothing of who they are and they managed to kill two powerful warlords.’ She thought in disbelieve. “Did you say a girl with wings?” “Yes, milord.” ‘Midi.’ The figure in the shadow thought silently. “Return and keep an eye out.” “Yes.” ::::::::^_^::::::: NEXT DAY: The animals had returned to their rightful owners and got back in their bodies. The Heaven had woke up early in the morning and went deep in the forest. Midi had took the training hard on them. She needed them to be ready and she was not about to be soft on them in training. They trained including Midi until the afternoon. They walked back into the camp and fell from exhaustion. “Midi are you trying to kill us or something?” Satoki asked in between his panting. “YEAH! You made us wake up at five...I mean that was too early.” Koji complained. “I need my beauty sleep, you know?” “You made us train for 8 HOURS!!! That is just ridiculous.” Hiroshi whined. “You guys are men aren’t you? SO QUIT YOUR WHINING, DAMN IT!!!!!” Reiko yelled and opened her bottle of water and drank half of it. “Yeah, I mean I thought you were the almighty kings that didn’t fear anything?” Susaki teased “That was bullshit.” Kera said as she dumped water on her to cool down. “Oh, SHUT UP!!!” The guys yelled The girls stuck their tongues out and Midi giggled. “I’m sorry we just can’t waste time.” She said. “It’s all right, Midi.” Kera said as she stood up. “It was refreshing.” Reiko said as she also stood up. “Well, If you need anything we’ll be at the river.” Susaki, Reiko and Kera walked towards river. “Midi, you can come too.” Reiko said without looking. “Don’t you even think about it, Koji.” Koji, who opened his mouth, closed it with a choked expression on his face. ‘She knew what I was going to say. I should be use to this though.’ He thought as he watched the girls leave. “Okay honey, but I’ll join you sooner or later.” “Not if I kill you first.” She shouted over her shoulder. “You know you want it.” He shouted back “Like a disease.” She yelled before she turned to the corner. ::::::::^_^::::::: In the streets of Hiwana, Oshio was walking in the busy streets looking for the child. He had checked every school and play ground there was. he was heading for the orphanage of the city. It was the last place a child would be in the city. The orphanage was called Ohigo konji. “he has to be in this one. If he isn’t I have to move to another city...again.” Oshio muttered as he entered the playground of the orphanage, where little children were innocently playing. He wasn’t watching where he was going and bumped into something or someone. He looked down to see a little boy not older than a year with long silver hair. He helped the child up and felt something. He knelt down and looked at the boy. He saw gorgeous red eyes that seem to hold an extreme amount of wisdom, for a kid. “I sowie. I not wathing wure I go!” The child said. “It’s okay, I’m sorry, also. I wasn’t watching where I was going too.” He saw the kid’s face lit up when he heard it wasn’t his fault. ‘He’s the one...he was to be. I have to watch him until Reiko comes. I hope it’s soon.’ ::::::::^_^::::::: (half a year past) “Milord, the heavens have finished their training and moving south.” Evillache Reported “Follow them.” “Yes” she disappeared ::Brother...have you find her yet.:: “No sister.” ::I’m coming soon.:: “I’ll be waiting.” ::::::::^_^::::::: ( the other half of the year past) In the orphanage a two-year-old kid was looking out the window of what looked like his room. His door opened and a young woman enters with long braided red hair and deep blue eyes. “Hey, why are you standing by the window.” she spoke softly. The child turned around and smiled. “I was j-just lo-ooking, Seira.” Seira giggled and walked over to the child, she picked him up and placed him on her left side with his legs between her waist. she spin twice and they both giggled. “You know, I don’t know your name. You look like someone I used to know a long time ago who wore the name Mishna. Can I call you Mishna?” She asked The child looked like he was thinking about for a while. He nodded and smiled at Seira and hugged her by the neck. “You want to see Konji, Mishna?” Seira asked The boy let go of her neck and his smile grew bigger. “YAY!!! YAY!!!” Yelled happily as he threw his hands up. Seira laughed and Mishna joined her as they left the room to see Konji. In the tree in front of the window, Oshio was sitting on a branch and watched the scene where no one could spot him. He smiled, ‘So Seira and Konji owned this place. It was good to see her again.’ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's going on? Who is the Mysterious person that is sending all these people after Reiko and the others?
