As the little girl spoke to him, the air flooded with warmth. The snow dissipated, and the fog lifted. She smiled warmly, and danced her way over to him, giving him a big hug. “I'm happy you didn't give up on finding me, Oniisan,†she said to him, looking up from their embrace, “That means you wont give up on her either.†Meeting Masshirona's gaze, the young man replied, “Of course I wont. I swore to do everything I could to protect her. No matter the consequences, I will keep that promise.†Akimoto picked the small girl up and held her in his arms, like an older brother would a younger sister. “I cannot do it alone, little one. I need your help. I am not going to force you to help me, as that would get nothing done. I simply wish to be as one with you. To protect her as a team, rather than as a man and a sword.†His words were filled with honesty and truth, and the girl nodded slightly in response. Wriggling out of his grip, she jumped back to the middle of the clearing. “If I teach you what you wish to know, I want you to promise me something as well,†Masshirona twirled in a circle and continued, “If I help you, you have to be my big brother, and we have to play lots of games.â€
Akimoto almost laughed at the thought of her proposal. Games? He needed to help Hikari, not play games. As he opened his mouth to speak, he was cut off by the little girl. “Don't agree because you want my help. I will only agree if you sincerely want to play games with me. We are to be as one, remember? This isn't all about you.†With that, she wiggled her little fox-ears and stuck out her tongue. The student thought hard about it. She was right, he asked to be as one, not for her to lend him her power. He searched within himself, trying to find the right thing to say. The more he searched, the more he realized that he had a lot of fun while searching for his 'little sister'. Smiling widely, the young man looked at the spirit, “Of course! I love to play games with you, little one! You are already my little sister, what kind of a question is that?†Running over to her, Aki picked the girl up in a sweeping hug, twirling them around a bit. As he set her down, his eyes closed, and Masshirona spoke, “Say my name, Oniisan...â€
Opening his eyes, now out of his Inner World, Akimoto Nakamura finished the sentence of the kitsune girl.
“Awaken and guide, Masshirona Seishin.â€
