Chapter 9 - CH.9: Determination.

( Arata's POV )

After two days in a row, I was very sure that those dreams were not a coincidence, I also thought that Sun's mother knew something about that, but I'm sure she'll say that it's not time for me to know.

I opened my palm and tried to concentrate, but nothing happened, I let out a sigh and got ready to go to school, when I left the house, I saw Sun and Sagiri waiting for me.

Arata: Sagiri, do you live near here?

Sagiri: It's my job to keep an eye on you, that's all.

Arata: Hey, is it possible that you can give me some kind of training? My powers suddenly turning on is kind of annoying.

Sagiri was always serious, but when I talked about training, it seemed to hit a nerve, and she glared at me.

Sagiri: What are you saying after living so long without knowing anything?

Arata: It's not like I was ignoring that on purpose.

Sagiri didn't listen to what I had to say and she left for school without us.

Arata: What's her problem?

Sun: Please be considerate of her, she has been working very hard for years.

Arata: That's why I want to help.

///////////////////

Entering the classroom I saw the spiked-haired boy I accidentally attacked but he didn't seem to remember what happened the other day, he was looking at me furiously but he already had that kind of attitude before, as long as they don't bother me it doesn't matter, I have more important things to worry about.

During the break, I met up with Urara and told her that her seal had disappeared, and she had already prepared a bracelet that would keep my powers contained, she was much more cooperative so I asked her to investigate the box the scroll came in, maybe she could find a clue as to what the scroll contained.

Urara: Hey, what happened between you and Sagiri? Did you have a fight?

Arata: I don't know, I told her that I wanted to train my powers, and she suddenly got angry.

Urara put on a confused expression, but after a moment, she hit her palm with her other hand in a moment of realization.

Urara: Ohh I see, that's why, Sagiri is quite a maiden.

Arata: Do you know what happened to her, can you tell me?

Urara: I'm sorry but I can't reveal my friend's secrets.

Arata: I'm starting to hate so many secrets.

Urara: Okay, calm down, I can't tell you why she acted that way, but I can help you two make up.

Arata: Seriously.

Urara: I guarantee it, you continue your day as usual, I will call you later, and you will just have to follow my instructions.

Arata: Thanks, I owe you one, I guess you'll need my number.

Urara: Don't worry, I already have it.

Arata: Seriously, you Chuuma ninjas are good.

Urara let out a proud laugh and she puffed out her chest in joy at my compliment, at that moment images from my dream flashed through my head and I couldn't help but blush a little, she asked me if I was okay, I couldn't tell her that I had a dream about her so I told her I was okay and I left the place quickly, the rest of the day went by normally but I felt those looks from the other day but this time they were more intense.

When school ended I didn't see Sagiri at all and walked back home with Sun and Chisaki, she spent some time at my house and I introduced her to Koyuzu as my little sister, While I was at home I thought it would have been good to ask Urara when she was going to call me because I spent almost the whole day waiting, her call came at night, and she told me to head to the forest where I had my first encounter with Sagiri.

When I arrived at the place Urara caught my attention by waving her hand.

Arata: Hey, what are we doing here?

Urara: Sagiri is on an extermination mission, you have to go there and help her.

Arata: I don't know how that's going to fix my problems.

Urara: It's easy really, if you go there and help Sagiri, she will stop seeing you as someone she has to protect.

Arata: Why would she see me like that?

Urara: There's no time to explain, hurry up.

Urara put a hand over my ear and used some ninja technique, and I could hear her voice inside my head, then she pushed me into the forest, I ran for a moment, and my face collided directly with a huge spider web.

Urara: [ This time, we are dealing with an evil arachnid-type spirit, watch out for the cobwebs. ]

Arta: pouw puw, Thanks for that, what do you expect me to do, I don't know how to use my powers.

Urara: [ That didn't stop you when you helped that Chisaki girl, is she that important to you?]

Arata: She has been my friend since forever.

But I guess Sagiri has always been around but we could never talk.

Arata: ...But now Sun and Sagiri are important parts of my life, I'm going to make it clear to that stubborn girl, I'm not going to stand aside and let her do all the hard work.

Urara: [ That's the spirit, when the time comes to fight, take off the bracelet I gave you, and your powers should turn on. ]

I ran through the forest straight to the sounds of combat I was hearing, I came to a clearing in the forest and saw a group of giant spiders, I looked up and saw Sagiri jumping from a tree in her battle attire, which complimented her excellent figure.

Sagiri threw multiple shuriken a las arañas y She was able to eliminate many of them and for those that remained, I took off the bracelet as Urara instructed me, dark energy immediately came out of my hands and I jumped into the fight.
