(wow, that's a sucky title right there)
The water suddenly went ice cold.
"Aiieeee!!" I yelped, jumping out of the shower. I shook my wet hair and grabbed a warm towel. Squinting, I touched the nearby light bulb. It wasn't as scorching as it usually is.
Then I realized the power went out. Fortunately, I am able to see in the dark. I sighed and rung out my hair in the towel before getting my clothes on.
I thought I heard a loud boom, but I just ignored it.
Then, I heard something I couldn't ignore. Houkou yelling. And he wasn't angry...No, he was pissed.
One, he's now in the dark. Two, he really doesn't want to be here. And three, he's already frustrated about our kids and Francis.
I sighed and left the room. Running down the near by stairs I could hear Houkou's voice getting clearer. And someone else....
I burst through the door leading into the hallway next to the kitchen. Blood and chakra smelt strong....almost reeking. I saw Houkou standing only several yards away. Automatically, I sprinted toward his back side.
"Houkou! Are you ok? Are you-" I was then thrown rapidly against a wall. I heard a loud crack of the cement blocks underneath the wall's eggshell thick paint.
Houkou's burning chakra turned suddenly cold.
