Summary: A teenage Shiori wants to do something more with her life, and everything changes when she meets a traveling pack of pacifist bat youkai, as well as a handsome demon slayer.
Next Generation: Shiori Chronicles
Chapter Fourteen: Somber Thoughts
During that evening, Kohaku becomes increasingly anxious as the darkness makes them more vulnerable for an attack. He paces around the camp, and Kai helps Shiori create a bedding for Shinta as he sleeps. Shiori admits she can still sense the dark miko’s spell over the younger wolf boy, but as she keeps the Elder’s scepter in his presence, the potency of the spell dissipates.
Sighing, Shiori looks up to find Kohaku perched on a rock, his eyes piercing intensely through the trees for any movement. Knowing how focused he is, it will be difficult for her to speak with him. Instead, she stares at the glow of brilliant moonlight over his face, and she thinks that even if Kohaku never accepts her feelings, she can at least admire him like this.
Kai bundles up next to his brother in the blankets, and Shiori stabs the Elder Scepter into the ground next to them. The movement draws Kohaku’s immediate attention, and she meets his eyes, feeling some relief in his acknowledgement.
She knows he has good reason to be distracted. He can’t look after her every moment, not that she wants him to waste his time with that. Still, Shiori will even settle for an argument if it means he’ll regard her once again.
“Kirara should be here by now,” Kohaku tells her in a low voice, and Shiori nods and glances at her scepter. “Have you put up another shield around our camp?”
“Yes, but I’m more intrigued about the scepter affecting Shinta,” Shiori answers.
Shiori is happy to see Kohaku smile again. “I’m not surprised. The scepter is tied to your desires, and you want him freed from the spell.”
Yes, Shiori thinks somberly. If only the Elder’s scepter can help her with her other desires as well.
