Chapter 6 - Taming the Darkness: Part 1
Last Updated:
2022-02-09 16:29:08Later that day, after completing her visit to Kai Ichatashiko's office, Miyuki went to the rest of the classes at the university. Of course, during the first break, when they sat down on "their" bench in the alley, under a cherry tree, Yumiko immediately asked her about her impressions.
- Well, I think Kai Ichatashiko is actually a good psychologist. I think therapy with him will help me get over my fear of the dark.- Miyuki replied.- That's great, but I also mean what he is like. You know, if he is as handsome as in the pictures.- Yumiko directed Miyuki to the most interesting issue, at least for her.- Ah, I don't know.- Miyuki said evasively, but seeing her friend's displeased expression, she sighed slightly.- He looks normal, like every human being. I think the photos reflect his appearance in reality very well.- she added after a moment, resigned.- So I understand that Kai Ichatashiko is attractive to you?- Yumiko asked with a slight smile.- I didn'tRelated chapters

And it happened - when the first weekend of November 2019 came, Miyuki for the first time in a long period, having a weekend off, could not spend it with Yumiko and had to somehow organize her own free time. When she was spending it with her friend, Miyuki didn't have to plan or come up with anything, because Yumiko had a lot of ideas about where to go and what to do. Even if Miyuki didn't like every idea of her friend, and sometimes was drawn to places like clubs and bars, but she still preferred to go there with Yumiko rather than having to think up ways to spend time alone, by herself.This weekend, however, Miyuki had no choice - Yumiko had to stay home with her older brother, who had every weekend off at work as he worked as a clerk. Yumiko and Harue's mother usually dropped by for a short time, an hour or two, and during the week, but this time knowing that they both had the weekend off, she probably decided to spend more time with her children. Besides, a few months ago,

Aoi and Miyuki said goodbye to each other that Saturday night outside her building, exchanging telephone numbers. Maybe it was a slightly crazy idea, especially for Aoi, but since he agreed, it meant he gave Miyuki a lot of trust, such as that she won't be selling his private telephone number online to his fans. For Miyuki, it was also a huge step, as she was just opening up to a friendship with someone other than Yumiko, and a man at that. His number was the first man's number she wrote down on her phone, ever. Yes, there had been times when a boy at college or in a bar asked for her phone number, but Miyuki would dispose of such adorers, even run away from them, and of course, Yumiko often chided her for something like that, especially if those men clearly had no bad intentions, and they were only sincerely interested in making friends with her, or something more. If, on the other hand, one of them was a creep or some kind of womanizer, Yumiko was able to defend her friend like a

When Miyuki entered the office and the door closed behind her, Kai moved towards his swivel chair, and she, too, took her place in the armchair opposite the desk.- Well, Miyuki, based on our preliminary interview at the previous meeting, it is easy to say that your fear of the dark is directly related to the fact that you were aware of the dangers that lurk within it from your childhood.- Kai started right away from the specifics, looking at her card.- Of course, your grandmother certainly did not intend to scare you, but only wanted you to be aware of those it, the more that, as a sorceress, you attract such creatures to you more.- he added.- Well, but... I haven't met any yet.- Miyuki interjected.- That's most likely because you have hidden your power deep within. It may even be a kind of subconscious defensive reaction, used precisely so as not to attract the attention of the creatures of the darkness.- Kai answered her patiently.- Because your grandmother did n

- Other dangerous beings are, of course, demons and their higher forms, Fallen Angels.- Kai said, glancing at her from time to time.- The difference between them is that the Fallen are much more powerful, look more like an angels, and rule over the rest of the demons and use them to do work for them. It's rare for a Fallen Angel to personally bother itself from the depths of Hell to the surface, so if does, it's an extremely serious matter, and then we, as wizards and sorceresses, must unite to protect the world from them. Ordinary demons also differ in rank, which makes some weaker or stronger, but you will learn about it in detail at our next meetings.- he added after a moment, then reached into one of the drawers of his desk, from which took out a rather thick book bound in a brown cover, without any title or author, which, however, looked very old. Then Kai moved it toward her across the desk.- What's that?- Miyuki asked, touching the book lightly with her fingertips, but

The next day after class at college, Yumiko again notified Miyuki that she was going on a date with Hoshi, so she will be ending work earlier again and wouldn't be able to walk her home.- Although now it probably doesn't bother you that much, when you have that mysterious knight in shining armor of yours.- Yumiko said, looking at her significantly.- Friend. I have a friend, ok? It's a male friend, but still a friend.- Miyuki pointed out clearly, slightly embarrassed by the words of her friend.- Okay, okay, I get it. Let it be like you said.- Yumiko answered with a slight amusement.- But you know, it's not that far from friendship to love. Also, a man and a woman, at least in my opinion, not too often can only remain in friendly relations.- she added after a moment.Miyuki glared at her, but Yumiko didn't care at all, besides, they reached the bar, so they had to focus on getting ready for work.~~~~~~~~~As she said, Yumiko had left an hour early to

That evening, after arriving home, Miyuki regretted doubting Aoi and his intentions. After all, she could feel the structure of his aura, right? It radiated honesty, as did his face, eyes, or tone of voice. What else did she needed to believe him? Kai had planted that seed of uncertainty in her, by scaring with tales of vampires who only cared for wizards' blood to gain power. Yes, it was true that Aoi had lied to Miyuki, but he had a good reason to do so - was afraid of rejection - and it did not surprise her, for surely not many would wanted to be friends with a vampire, especially knowing this fact, of course.Miyuki sat down at the low table in the living room and put the kick-off concert ticket that Aoi had given her on the table top. She stared at it for at least five minutes, lost in thought, cursing her foolishness. The concert was to take place in the last week of November, on Saturday. Miyuki could easily take time off from work at the bar, as she had practically neve

Miyuki walked slowly towards her neighborhood, following the route of the bus she had taken here. Miyuki felt extraordinary peace and contentment until suddenly, when she walked past the smaller street flooded with darkness, she felt someone grab her arm and pulling into this darkness. Miyuki's heart immediately began to beat quickly with fear that enveloped her again like a shroud. She tried to focus on what to do if was about to face some kind of monster, but the fear seemed to drown it all out.After a few seconds that seemed to be an eternity, Miyuki felt her back touch the wall of the building, and her eyes, gradually accustomed to the darkness around them, begin to perceive a silhouette that resembled a human, standing in front of her. Suddenly, the paralysis she felt left her and Miyuki stretched hand up and a ball of light appeared in it, allowing her to illuminate the darkness. When her eyes saw the person in front, she understood why the fear suddenly left her. Miyuki

The beginning of January 2020 pleased Miyuki, as Aoi was about to return from the tour. She texted him and talked on the phone sometimes, but nothing could replace seeing him face to face, especially that Aoi had little time during the tour and often Miyuki's phone remained completely silent for several days. She was also glad to learn to fully control her magic, and despite Kai's assurances that she should come for a few more lessons, Miyuki refused, feeling there was nothing left for Kai to teach her. Miyuki didn't know where it came from, but she was so sure about this, and it was quite beneficial, for she could slowly sort out her feelings in peace, hoping that would be able to do so before Aoi will return to Japan.Miyuki knew exactly that with Kai she wouldn't be able to concentrate and take an honest look at what she felt about him and Aoi. It took a few moments of complete solitude to clean up all the mess that had appeared in her heart. After all, she couldn't love two

Light & Darkness: Book 4 ~Epilogue~
And this is how the last story about Light and Darkness that I wanted to present to you ends. It was certainly an extraordinary journey, showing different stories, but at the same time touching the same topic - can two such opposing poles as Light and Darkness connect at some point? I'll leave it to your own choice, but one thing is for sure - as Miyuki said in Book 4, wanting to stop the battle between vampires and wizards - Light and Darkness certainly couldn't exist without each other. If there was only Light but no Darkness, what would be its meaning? Likewise, if there was only Darkness in the world, wouldn't its existence be pointless without trying to "devour" the Light?I think most of us will agree and love both our light and dark sides, because we, as humans, have both of these elements - Light and Darkness. It is up to us which of them we will let overcome the other in our hearts. And no matter if you believe in God, another higher power or you are an atheist, you ce
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 20 - In Harmony
In the following months of 2020, there was still harmony between the creatures of light and darkness. The news of the new sorceress, who had taken the position of defender of this harmony, spread with lightning speed, and soon Miyuki's fame and of her mighty magical power made every being, both good and evil, respectful, and no major conflicts were even thought about, at least for now. But Miyuki felt every day that wielding this enormous power caused her less and less trouble, so she was ready for any circumstance that might happen in the future. She felt more and more that was finally in her place, one where she was fully suited for and which was truly written to her. Miyuki also felt that her grandmother sorceress was watching over her, as well as her parents, even though neither of them had magical powers. Miyuki, however, could sense their auras often somewhere nearby, meaning that their souls would visit her sometimes even though she couldn't see them, as sometimes saw Grandma
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 19 - Two Brothers
When Aoi and Kai finally broke away from the long hug, Miyuki breathed another sigh of relief.- I'm also sorry to you, Miyuki.- Kai turned to her.- I was very unwise, just thinking of saving you.- he added apologetically.- It's okay, the most important thing is that everything is solved.- Miyuki replied with a smile.- What about them? This whole battle?- Aoi asked, pointing to the frozen armies of vampires, wizards and sorceresses.If the two brothers, one from the light and other from the darkness, are already reconciled, it will be much easier to stop the battle.- Miyuki replied as surely as if she sincerely believed in this and no other turn of events.- Since you say so, I have no reason to disbelieve it.- Kai admitted, looking at her with a kind of humility, as if he were looking at his leader and the most important oracle.Aoi just smiled and Miyuki returned it to him, then raised her hands slightly and instantly "freed" both factions from the
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 18 - On The Edge of War
Everything was wonderful until Miyuki boarded the ship, because on the way, Aoi informed her that in despair, he had contacted rebel vampires, opponents of harmony, and they would soon be coming to Tokyo to fight the wizards.- Seriously? And you are mentioning this to me just now?- Miyuki asked, looking at him disapprovingly.- I'm sorry... Before, I only thought about you, how I can't believe that you were looking for me and found me...- Aoi replied regretfully.- But how did you know about the clan's headquarters on the island?- he asked, suddenly realizing something.- Kai told me.- Miyuki answered shortly, looking at him closely and expecting a reaction.- Well, who else knows better where the place is, if he sent the murderers there.- Aoi said, clenching his fists.- Aoi...- Miyuki put her hand on his cheek.- I know your story and I try to understand each of your's point of view. You both hurt each other and what Kai did was horrible.- she continued, st
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 17 - Light In The Darkness
With the exact address, Miyuki was able to quickly find the ships that sailed to the island where the headquarters of the vampire clan was located, the one to which Aoi belonged from the moment he was born for darkness.It was in fact a very small island mostly covered with dense forests and mountains, with houses mostly in the valleys and near the beach, where there was a small harbor, with just about 200 people living there right now, each of whom was mainly engaged in catching fish or other seafood. Miyuki also found out that mostly people in their 30s and older were staying there, as the young ones preferred to leave island and seek their happiness in a bigger cities. For this reason, the island was deserting at an alarming rate and many believed that in a few or so years it would only be empty houses, taken back by nature. Therefore, Miyuki was not surprised that the vampire clan chose this place to build their clan headquarters here. Certainly it was standing somewhere in
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 16 - Searching In The Shadows
On early March 2020, Miyuki spent her time dividing it between studying, working in the bar and looking for Aoi's traces. Yumiko assisted her by searching for information about places where Aoi had previously been found or seen, when in the days of the V-Prince he fled on his lonely expeditions. For the first time in her life, Miyuki was taking more money from her savings than usual, to go to each of these places, no matter how far they were from Tokyo. Fortunately, Miyuki saved a considerable amount of money by living very modestly so far, so she could afford all the tickets. In addition, she had Yumiko's assurance that could count on her if necessary. In addition, her friend took advantage of the fact that she had many friends among Aoi's fans, also outside of Tokyo, so she often sent them messages asking to look around their city for traces of their idol, to which they of course agreed, happy to help in finding Aoi. Of course, Yumiko did not reveal that they were doing it for Miy
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 15 - Three Hearts In The Darkness
Throughout January and mid-February, Miyuki had loads of messages and missed calls from Aoi. Her heart ached, but she had no intention of talking to him, for it hurt even more to be treated by two brothers as some sort of trophy intended to give one of them victory over the other. Of course, Kai also tried to call her and even came to the bar several times, but then Miyuki was hiding in the back room and Yumiko was helping her without hesitation. Of course, Yumiko knew the story, stripped of some fantastic elements, of how Kai Ichatashiko made a bet with his friends that he would pick up Miyuki, which of course surprised Yumiko a lot and made her very angry at the same time, that's why she gladly told Kai, when he came to the bar, that Miyuki was not there and that he should leave her alone if didn't wanted to deal with Yumiko's anger.In the end, Miyuki had to turn off the phone, and it did not really interfered with her daily functioning, but only felt sorry for e-books, whic
