Chapter 70 - THE CURSED CHILD (3)

Jackie

"Welcome to your new home... Little kid".

The house was small from which Shimi lived in... but it had freedom...

More to say... the house is in an alley... which is impossible to be spotted.

Jackie says to Shimi...

"This house is small... small from which you lived in".

Shimi replies cheerfully...

"But... it's still got me my freedom".

Shimi's naive smile made him happy...

"Now onwards you are my little sister... Shimi".

Shimi nodds happily...

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT THE OLD WOMEN'S HOUSE...

Jackie gets mad...

"Leave her... old hag"

Old women

"What... pay respect to your elders".

Jackie...

"I said leave her...."

Jackie screams...

Jackie tears on of his nails... and sent it towards the wall...

Boom!....

It blasts...

Jackie'sface changes...

"My devil is not happy".

Old Women gets scared...

She leaves her grip of Shimi...

Jackie gives the old women a cold shoulder...

"I'm taking her... her elder brother".

PRESENT...

Shimi...

"I want to know big bro...".

Jackie is doing his chores...

Jackie...

"What do you want to know... ask me".

Shimi doesn't hesitate this time...

"How did you blasts your nails... and ... are you not hurt while washing your hand right now?"

Shimi had so many questions to ask him...

But Jackie only had one answer for her...

Jackie...

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you about this when you will become the age to understand this".

Shimingets puzzled about this...

But still she carried on with her life... with her big bro.

She was bullied at school...

But Jackie scared them away...

And now she is not bullied anymore...

Everything is now going fine after Jackie took her in... she never felt this happy in her life before... she thought this was unachievable for her...

But in her life... happiness doesn't last long...

3 YEARS LATER...

SHIMI 15 YEARS OLD (JUST TURNED).

A MORNING...

Coughs! Coughs!.

Jackie...

"Why am I coughing so hard... and early this morning as well"

Shimi...

"What's the matter big bro... I heard your sound of coughing".

Jackie replies...

"It's cold... maybe that's why".

Jackie looks at she....he suddenly remembers...

Jackie...

"You are joining Highschool right after this right?".

Shimi...

"Yes... I guess".

Jackie...

"What guess... you are... and now a big girl".

Shimi's face is disappointed...

"What about money".

Jackie...

"Have I ever told you I am out of money".

Shimi looks at Jackie...

Jackie...

"I'll get it... cause it's easy".

Shimi...

"Are you a robber or something... cause everytime you go for work and comeback... you have a handful of money".

Jackie spits some water...

"Isn't that a good thing".

Shimi...

"What?... My elder brother is a robber".

Jackie gets pissed...

"No... but I make a handful of money".

Shimi sighs...

"Whatever... I am leaving... I got to attend part time job".

Both bids farewell...

SOMETIME LATER... POURING STARTED...

Reporter...

"I'll be raining in some parts of Tokyo for a very long time... so please bring umbrella..."

Shimi is seeing this news...

Shimi...

"Have big bro brought an umbrella with him... when he went to work".

Meanwhile at a place...

Jackie sneezes...

"Here's the hitlist for Today... you've definitely got a money shortage right".

Jackie...

"Money?... well I didn't needed it... but my younger sister needs money to join high-school you know".

Unknown...

"You had a little sister?".

Jackie...

"Oh!... Sorry I haven't mentioned it to you".

Jackie leaves the office...

Meanwhile at workplace...

Shimi...

"Mam... I need to leave early".

Mam...

"Why?.. do you".

Shimi...

"I need to go early... because I need to go buy uniforms today with brother".

Mam...

"Okay you might leave".

SOMETIME LATER...

Shimi...

"It's still raining".

Shimi hoping...

"Please brother have an umbrella".

Suddenly!...

Jackie...

"Shimiii!".

Jackie screams...

Shimi embarrassed...

"Why are you shouting... I'm right here".

Jackie grabs Shimi's hand...

Jackie...

"Where is that store... the one you told that gives you uniforms...".

Shimi and Jackie walks to the store...

Jackie...

"Why are you so grumpy".

Shimi...

"What did you do again".

Jackie...

"Do you want umiform or what".

Meow! Meow!...

Jackie...

"So nice... I like cats".

Suddenly!...

Jackie gets cautious...

Jackie to himself...

"What was that feeling just now...".

Jackie felt a pain...

A blade comes from behind...

Jackie...

"Move... Shimi".

Jackie saves Shimi...

Jackie...

"Who are you... now".

Unknown...

"You may recognise me from my voice... Jackie".

Jackie gets stunned after hearing that voice...

Jackie...

"Ar... are you... Jewel".

Jewel...

"Seems like you know me... Jackie".

Jackie...

"But... Jewel... you are my subordinate... and why are you attacking me".

Jewel...

"Oh... poor guy... you didn't knew anything haa".

Jackie gets confused...

Jewel...

"Well... you know... we workers can't have a family... we are destined to be alone.. and you brought a little sister... and higher upstairs told me to finish her".

Jewel moves with his blade straight towards Shimi...

He was about to strike her down until...

Jackie brings out his....

Both blades clash!.

Jewel...

"So whose side are you own".

Jackie...

"We can talk this out".

Both blades have an intense clash...

Shimi moves to afar...

Shimi...

"Will big bro be fine".

Jewel...

"Sorry... my dear friend... choose... Little sister or yourself".

Jewel pushes Jackie aside...

Jewel rushes towards Shimi...

Jewel...

"Goodbye little kid...".

Boom!

Jackie...

"I am not choosing any... cause the one to die here is you".

A brief moment of silence...

Jackie...

"Let's move Shimi... I'll tell you now... that what is my job...".

Jackie's mouth coughs blood!

Shimi...

"Big broooo.".

Shimi rushes towards Jackie...

It was Jewel who stabbed from behind...

Jewel...

"You should've chosen yourself Jackie... you should have let that kid die".

Jewel screams in anger...

Jewel...

"Argh!!.. I wanted that covenant so badly... now younare dead?".

Jewel is frustrated...

Jewel moves towards Shimi...

Jewel...

"Since... I don't like keeping evidence... might as well as take you on".

Jewel pulls his sword towards Shimi...

But he wasn't able to swing...

Because...

Jackie's grip was tight...

Jackie...

"Blast Hand!".

Jackie's hand blasted...

His right hand was now unusable...

Jackie...

"How dare you... touch her".

Jewel...

"So bad... it looks like you've just wasted a hand".

Jackie...

"I knew it... but why did I do that... You just cloned yourself"...

[Jewel has the power if clone devil... which helps him to clone himself].

Jewel...

"You should've been cautious... but my friend... you've lost your intelligence... just because you want to protect the little one here".

Jackie gets angry...

Jackie...

"Shut up... you... you and anyone don't know what this kid have been through... and I have help her".

The fight continues on to an alley...

The same alley which Jackie and Shimi met...

It gave Jackie some chills about his upcoming fate...
