Yoru no me,part III

 Sakura had realised from their fist impact that he was no normal child and she did not care to learn anything about it as long as she could stand by him.

  They were both outcasts of society and the orphanage both. Being the daughter of a drug user single mother who died of an overdose,with her fathers identity uknown because of her mother profession,she was never given the chance to live an inch of a normal childhood. Her first home was a Christian Orphanage in a ghetto in the suburbs,for she was told there were no other living relatives to take care of her. She had never known anyone except her no-good of a mother ever so she didnt even hope for a happy home from now on,it would be pointless to deceive herself she thought. 

  After 2 years the orphanage was at the edge of bankruptcy due to the death of their solely donator. Most children were transfered before they passed away from the famine that took over the place. Others were already teenagers and thought of as being adults so they were left to go out to society. Maybe they would make it,maybe not..The nuns would always murmur ''God is great my children,he will never leave you alone.'' They could say that much because they already had a home waiting for them.

  And so she came to be in the same orphanage as Noroi. She wondered if such a thing as coincidence exists in life..She never really thought that way.Carefreely that is..Growing up on the streets had taught her whom to trust and whom not to. Whose face hid emotions,sorrow,lies,greed,fear..Eyes are said to be a window to ones soul. His eyes were honest ones,she knew he would not betray her. She only had to be patient enough to get him to bring his shield a bit down for her to reach him. And slowly there she was,entering his fortress,it was an achievement she would be proud of for the rest of her life. 

 Noroi started treating her differently when they were alone. He was her hero,her reason to hold on. He had no past to speak off but lived everyday with the only purpose of leaving and putting the puzzle of his life back together. Without the pieces he said he had no true identiny. 

    At night he would sneak out of the dorm into the Head nun office to try and find out anything possibly helpful.. He had a partner now as well. Sakura kept watch while he tried to open the door,but was always interrupted by the watchguards going by. He knew there was something there they werent supposed to find out about. He never believed the guards were there for their safety as to what the nuns would say when he asked why there were extra expenses that cut down the food and study supplies budget. If it was as they said why did they only keep guard at the wing where every childs file was kept? Noone would be fooled by that. Especially when his money was spent on it. Because until he was an adult the nuns claimed he had no right to use the money he was left with. Instead they would spend it themselves for mostly useless selfish reasons such as christian books,extra bibles,wooden custom made crosses and other unedible stuff. 

   He didnt especially care about the other orphans or about living more luxuriously but that was his money and he had no common intelectual quality to be manipulated by some overweight ugly bats. He kept his patience and waited for his chance for as long as it would take.. Three years had almost passed and the old watch guard got transferred due to heavy heart disease that dissalowed lack of rest and him overworking. The new guard that came in was in his late twenties and seemed to hate his job. He would sometimes slack off at his post only sitting in font of the office door and falling half asleep.

           With Sakura coming aboard and the guard change,the plan was made much easier for him.

  During of the nights of their mission he had noticed the  new watch guard frequently visiting a young nun's room at the end of the file wing where they slept. At one of the nights they tracked his moves,he went into the room and didnt look like he would be coming out any soon. They figured so after Sakura eavesdropped and they sure sounded they would be busy for quite some time..It was his opportunity.

  He took a match and a piece of coal out of his pocket. He lit the match.. He asked Sakura to step back and cover her ears. He placed the coal inside the keyhole of the office and stuck the unlit end of the match next to it.. She saw him widely open his eyes while the air of the room started to change.She couldnt breathe as well as a while ago.. A pale blue liquid bubble began to form near the keyhole. She could see it clearly float in front of Noroi..And then she witnessed the keyhole explode when the bubble finally reached and soaked the coal.       She kept still in shock.

     The door was now open.                              (to be continued...)
