When mom reached the house, I got out of the car. I am going back to the same house and  I know how things work, my dad is working hard in his study writing one of his new book or books of "Life of Hiroyuki". When I went up the stairs, I saw my dad measuring my room. What the hell! I was gone for two straight years, and you have measuring tape out?! I yelled. Hey Natasha, good to see you home. Jeremy replied with a smile. Rene glared at him.  I glared at him too. Old man grrrr. Natasha, please calm down, here is an heirloom that is passed down from generation to generation of Higashiyama members. Jeremy replied. If you think this is going to cover up for the measuring of my room you have another thing in mind. I glared. I think this will make you forget about your anger streak towards me right now. Jeremy replied. You need to apologize to her. Rene replied. If you listen, I have good intentions in mind. Jeremy replied. What are these so-called good intentions of yours? Rene asked. Well, you see... Jeremy replied.  I looked back at my dad and cried. After, I went to my regular hiding spot when I feel my negative emotions. I go to the highest place I can find. This time I ran and jumped from building to building. Back at the house, I felt an ominous presence looming over my father as before I left for two years. It felt like a silhouette of negative energy that cloaked or wrapped him in their darkness. My father went down to his study. Jeremy, can she pull it off? Kokuren asked. Knowing her, she will pull it off with no problem, Kokuren. Jeremy replied. Huh, I think she saw me? Kokuren replied. It doesn't matter, she doesn't know what you are as an entity. Jeremy replied. As I looked at the moonlit night, the box began to rattle. What the hell, boxes don't usually rattle. I thought. When I open the box a beautiful amulet with a thin golden thread with a purple onyx color gem. Hurry up and put me one! Murasaki yelled. Hey, don't get demanding on me. I replied. I put the amulet on. The power I felt was surging through me. Hey, what are you? I asked. My name is Murasaki no Hana replied. So your name is Purple Rose? I asked. Yes, it is. Chikara replied.  That sounds too formal for my taste, let's change your name a little. I replied. My name is fine the way it is. Chikara replied. Are you serious about that? I feel as if that name was forced on you. I replied. How about I name Chikara? I asked. Strength? Chikara asked. I feel that name fits you perfectly. I do like the name. Chikara replied. Soon as I looked at the moonlit night, I saw a woman saying something about the "Green Eyed Sorceress powers has been activated". What does she mean? I asked. Listen to me, Natasha. You need to lie low for a while. Chikara replied. Why should I, if they want me then they can come at me. I replied. I am tired of running. If I keep doing this, I will revert to my old habits. Yeah, my dad is perfect but what he did was unforgivable by shattering me one piece of happiness. At the same time, he tried to make it up by giving me you, Chikara. I replied. Other than that motivational speech I just said, who is that woman? I asked. She is part of a clan of followers who fight for justice and my power you possess is the power of darkness. It is a form of ancient Irian magic. Chikara replied. So you are telling me, that woman fights for love and justice like that one old magical girl anime. I replied. I have no clue what you are talking about. Chikara replied. The woman appeared behind her. You look like that demon in human flesh. Hisano replied. What are you talking about? I asked. So this is the "Green Eyed Sorceress" who possesses devilish abilities who can bring the downfall of humanity? Mina asked. Yes, and her buddies aren't around to stop us. Hisano replied. Who are you talking about? I asked. You will perish to the ashes like that demon in human flesh! Hisano yelled. I started to flinch. Natasha, you can take them out, but you have to listen to me. Chikara replied. Alright, you have to say these exact words, "Come forth the blades that protect me, the thorn of the *Midnight Rose! Chikara replied. Alright, whatever you say. Come forth the blades that protect me, come forth the thorn of the Midnight Rose! I yelled. A flash of purple light swirled around me. What is going on, Chikara? I asked. You have activated my power. Chikara replied. When I looked,  the swirl of lavender light went away, I dawned a black scarf and a sleeveless midnight rose colored short kimono with long black stockings. I also had dark brown sandals. As soon Hisano attacked me I summoned my sword. I wonder what kind of blade it is? I asked. Chikara, where are you? I asked. I am on your wrist. Chikara replied. A bracelet? I thought. Holy crap this is purple odachi. I replied. Stop admiring the blade and take her out. Mina, don't let her escape. Hisano replied. You don't have to tell me. I replied. I slashed swords with her constantly until I saw two girls appeared.

Stay Tuned for the next chapter!

-Chikara means Strength in Japanese. 

-Hiroyuki means Widespread happiness in Japanese.

-Midnight Rose come in Blue and Purple colors. I chose the Purple ones instead since Natasha's powers are based on darkness. I didn't want to use black rose. It would seem a little dark for her.

-Kokuren means Black Lotus. 

If you read Natasha: What Is True Love Book Two and see the side story, "Jeremy's Backstory" you will see Kokuren again.
