Chapter 3B: Embrace

I was just standing there while Mr. Omi came over to me, "Vivi?" I blush really hard made my cheeks all rosy like and had a face of a shy child "Don't look at it." I finally got a word out of my mouth, "There's no need to hide it, and it's cute like you're...." I stop him for saying the one thing that no one knows about, when I was 15, I found out I like boys and girls but what makes me shy about me being with someone is that someone will see my birthmark on my lower back, it's a butterfly. I went into the bath warming waters and relax, "Is this what I was born to do, kill my brother? This doesn't make sense and what does father mean I have to save myself, what does this mean" I thought, Then Mr. Omi was sitting next to me in the bath which gave me this "I need space" look but he didn't move he just sat there and then showed me his brand again "Vivi, I know this is new to you but I'm going to tell you a story...." I interrupted "Is this about what I said in your office then I should say I'm sorry how I acted" "It's ok Vivi" Mr. Omi petted my head " I would act like that if I hear something like but the story is how I got my brand...."

Flash Back: Mr. Omi

3 years ago.....

The smell of the sweet smell of cakes as I was walking down the street of mystichikari: The city of Light, I walked down the street walking away from the book store my friend owned and then my life change all around when I met this little child who was running towards me and fell to the ground "What's wrong young one?" noticed that the child stole a loft of bread form the market, the guard caught him in front of me "there's the little bugger thank you for catching him" I gave the money to the guard "here he didn't steal the bread I forgot to give him the money" I said " oh my mistake farewell then" the guard walked away. The child looked up at me and ask "why did you help me?" my answer "I may sound weird to you if I told you that your cute" The child blushed and I smiled "I'm kidding little one, where are your mommy and daddy?" The child gave no response and looked like he was about to cry "oh I'm sorry I didn't know sorry" The child looked up and smiled "It's ok no one really stood up for me before thank you oh my name is Aora it sounds girly but I like my name it was name after a dragon clan in the east long ago" I giggled " why don't you stay with me you need to be taken care of epically for a little dragon like yourself" "I'm not little I'm a 8 year old dragon hear me roar" Aora said giving his best warrior face I smiled and picked up the child and took him to my house. During the 3 months spending time with him I never felt love for him he was innocent but then one day while we were taking a trip to the mountains a bad storm hit the beaches that we were in and the waves were crashing the waters on the sand and the wind blowing the trees down I hold onto the child with all my grip but I couldn't hold on to him tightly and the waters took him away, I looked for him for hours and hours looking for him but he was gone I blame myself that I lost someone dear to me and that I failed to save him. I went back to the city all dark gloom and my eyes filled with tears that I lost him, my hand started to burn and then that when I got my brand came in.

End of flash back

We got out of the bath and dry off but for some reason I hugged him "I know how you feel were the same, the feeling of losing someone but every since I came here I always saw you as my 2ndolder brother." I said. Mr. Omi Smiled and hugged me back and dried my hair "I won't let anything or anyone hurt you, so listen were leaving tonight." I was shocked to hear what he said "its safety for the students here I don't want them to get hurt understand" I nodded and I put my new clothes on "where should I meet you?" I asked "front of the school and take this" he tossed my sword "were going to need it." "for what?" I asked "Training."
