Shōgun

Botan looked at Kai, his heart ached "Why is he shedding tears, is it supposed to be normal?".

"His parents died".

"What!.. why would you let him see that" Aoi freaked out, she remembered that night, Kai's chaos was something else just because of a trigger of his memory, who knows how worse it'll be when he sees his parents dead, "This is bad".

"I need to go back" The Hokage finally said.

"What are we going to do to help?" Botan shivered.

"Nothing". The Hokage shut his eyes, he went back into Kai's mind.

"Kai, can you hear me?".

Kai was numb, he just laid down there, flashes of how the bullet went into his mother's head were hovering around him.

"Kai, you have to snap out of it, your parents never died, what you just saw was an illusion".

The word illusion echoed in Kai's mind, a familiar voice came into his head"Release the chaos"

"Kai?", The Hokage wondered who said that because it wasn't Kai's voice he heard.

"Kill everyone, release the chaos" The voice echoed in a husk.

"Kai snap out of it".

"Snap out of what? My mum was killed" Kai's voice was combined with the strange voice in his head.

"Who owns the strange voice?" Hokage thought.

"Me?" The voice replied, it was deep and scary.

"Who are you and where is Kai?" Hokage became agitated.

"I am Kai and Kai is me, you don't what you are dealing with Hokage Shōgun" The voice snickered.

The Hokage went out of Kai's head, he breathed heavily.

"What happened?" Botan who has been standing near him asked.

"There's a strange voice in Kai's head".

Botan went numb, he remembered when Kai told him and Hiroshi about the voice in his head.

"Do you know about it?" The Hokage noticed the look on Botan's face.

"Yes".

"I'll go back".

"My lord, you can't continue...." Aoi trailed off when the Hokage shut his eyes.

She licked her dry lips, "This is not good".

"You came in again" The voice sneered.

Immediately, the place Kai stood started clamping up together.

"What are you doing?" The voice snarled.

"What am I supposed to do".

"You can't close this up, it's already open because of you, you let me free" dark smoky substances began to rise from Kai's body, and the power gauge went up immediately to its highest point and started clinking.

Electric power began to shake, lights were buzzing on and off, and everyone around the Magisterium was wondering what was happening.

At the main mage gate, the porthole was shut down, "Check out what is happening" The commander in charge of the mage gate ordered.

"What are we gonna do?" Aoi was starting to freak out, Botan didn't know what to do either, he kept staring at the smoky substance rising from Kai's body.

"Shōgun, you don't have to waste your strength, am now in control".

The Hokage laughed in midst of the pain surging around him, "You forgot who created this mind loop".

"Who cares?" The voice gave a stifled laugh.

"I care and it's time to sleep".

"You'll die if you ever do what you what to do and you know that" The voice sneered.

"Let's see about that", The Hokage gripped the arm of his chair, "Claspodiumnera", the power gauge sparked and the electric power in the whole magisterium went out, not very long it came back again.

Aoi ducked beside the desk when the electric spark. She stood up and held her ears because the spark gave a large zipping noise.

"Are you alright?" Botan asked her.

"Yeah, am ok".

Botan touched the Hokage, "My Lord, My Lord", He looked at Aoi with despair in his eyes.

"Why is he not waking up?" Aoi said with a husky and shaky voice.

Knock knock

"Lord Hokage".

Botan turned towards the door, "Shit".

"Lord Hokage?" Hunt called out again.

"Aoi, take Kai out of the power gauge". Aoi nodded, she went closer to Kai, she can't carry him and the only option she had was to teleport him to the seat.

"My lord, you have to wake up" Botan pleaded.

"Lord Hokage" Hunt was getting tired of calling him, he needed to pass an urgent message to him but entering the Hokage's office without his permission is prohibited but he had no other choice.

He swung the door open, "Sir, am sorry about entering without your... Lord Botan?" Hunt wondered what Botan was doing close at the Hokage's desk, Botan looked at him, "Hey, Hunt...um...", His voice was shaking.

"Lord Botan?... You're at the Hokage's..."

"And who said you can come in," The Hokage said immediately.

Botan's eyes went wide, he was surprised and also relieved at the same time.

"My lord am sorry" Hunt bowed, "I bring an urgent message from the magisterium society and also there was a problem with the electricity earlier, actually you don't have to bother about it because the commanders are already on it".

"Ok, I have heard you" The Hokage was trying to hide the pain in his voice.

Hunt left the office. "My lord are you alright?" Botan asked.

"Yeah, how about Kai?".

Kai groaned, "Ouch, what a mess, my head". Botan exhaled, that was a good relief, he looked at Aoi and both of them smiled.

"So what did you get? What is Kai's rank?" The Hokage requested.

Botan looked at Aoi and then at Hokage, he doesn't want to be the only person surprised.

"He's at master rank".
