Next Generation: Shiori Chronicles

Chapter Fifteen: Shiori's Plea

When Shiori rouses in the early morning, she realizes that Kohaku hasn’t had a wink of sleep. She rises from her bedding to approach him, but she feels movement from her side. Kai is awake, and he looks away embarrassed when Shiori catches him staring at her.

“Sleep well?” Shiori asks with a light smile to relieve his awkwardness. Kai nods, and he returns to his brother’s side, still sleeping peacefully. Before nightfall, Shiori recalls Shinta having a pained expression on his face. With the Elder scepter next to him all night long, Shiori is relieved the magic does its job and has began to heal the awful spell that stole away the boy’s sanity in the first place. She only hopes her scepter is the more powerful tool here, and that the boy is fully released from the spell without the miko ever controlling him again.

She stands up, walking toward Kohaku as he finally notices her presence. “Good morning,” she says, and he bows lightly, though still slightly distracted.

“If you’d like to get some sleep, I’ll wait for Kirara-san and Shippou-san,” Shiori offers, and Kohaku sighs, beginning to mull over the idea in his mind. Shiori knows it won’t be easy for him to agree and move from his protective post.

When he doesn’t say anything, Shiori bravely rests a hand on his shoulder. “Come on,” she says, and finally, he meets her eyes and doesn’t look away. “You’re no good to us tired. If that miko comes, I am certain you’ll wake up the second we’re in danger. Until then, you should rest.”

He opens his mouth to protest, but Shiori stops him. “We both know I’m right, that you do need some sleep.”

Furrowing his brow, Kohaku nods with a heavy sigh, reluctantly abiding her.
