279 Finding Shiro 5

"my Goddess I'm sorry for how things happened. I wanted to help the boy but by the time I arrived he was already dead. When I touched him to take his form his energy was high and other than a slight blood anomaly he was ok. If I had known he was in danger of dying I would have given him my bead. I did not know what to do or how to tell his uncle that I was not him. His uncle is not what he thinks, he was not apart of his death. The teacher and bodyguard are trying to exhort money from the family. I have Been able to stop them by never giving them a chance to be alone with myself or Shiro's uncle. My Goddess what am I to do?" Kitsune asks Morrigan. Morrigan smiles at the little one and takes his hand. She sits on the bed with him and asks him. 

"Shiro's spirit wants to talk to you, are you willing to talk to him and do whatever he asks." Morrigan tries to gauge the Kitsune's emotions but he is to erratic for her. He nods and his eyes grow large as Shiro's spirit becomes visible to him. The boy kneels in front of Shiro and tears are flowing down his face. 

"I am so sorry I truly wanted to help you , if I had known I would not have left you there alone. " Kitsune tells Shiro. Shiro lays his hand on kitsune's head and tells him. 

"I know , it is not your fault . I wanted to ask you about what we should do. I want to be found and properly buried but I do not want my family to be sad. It would be hard to explain how this came about. I need you to tell me what you want to do also?." Shiro asks. 

"I never intended to take over your life. My greatest hope was that we could become brothers. I only want a family to love me for me. I do not know if I can be content for a lifetime being you, not unless they can love me for who I am inside as well. Your uncle has noticed the differences between us but he has still treated me with kindness. I do not know if he will do so once he knows who I really am. My kind have a reputation for being mischievous and cause trouble though not all of us are. I have grown very fond of your family I chat daily with your mother and father. They seem to be very kind and loving. If I could stay with them I would but not while knowing that your killer is not being punished. No matter what they must be punished in someway so that you do not become a vengeful spirit. You are too good of person to become something evil." Kitsune tells Shiro honestly. So the two are still not able to decide what is to be done so Morrigan sends a mental message to Uktena. 

"Shiro and Kit I know you are having a hard time deciding what to do. So I am going to decide for you after our chat." The father gets their attention by his words. Kitsune knows who he is immediately and bows his head for it is forbidden for his kind to look upon his face. The father tells him. 

"Kit it is ok nothing bad will happen to you I promise. Now tell me what is it that you desire most?" The father asks Kitsune. 

"Father I want to be loved and become a good human. To have your live as well as the love of a family without having to give up my powers as a nine tail. I know that is selfish but I want to help humans not hurt them. I want to bring those who hurt Shiro to justice but I do not want his family to feel pain. I did not mean to take his place . When I met him I took his form to find out if his uncle was behind him being taken. By the time I found him Shiro was already gone." Kitsune tells the father. The father looks at Shiro and asks him. 

"Shiro what are your thoughts?" The father looks into his heart as he answers. 

"I want to be buried properly with my name and I want to be remembered by my family as who I am. I want Kitsune to be loved and to have a family at the same time I do not want my family to be in pain. At this moment I don't want them to have the pain of my loss but I do not want to grow sad because they will not know I am gone and someone else is in my place. " Shiro looks down because he feels he is selfish just like Kitsune. The father laughs at the boys and asks them.

"What if I give you both what you want. Kit you could continue to live as Shiro and Shiro what if I let you comeback as a new child to your parents. You could be brothers as kit wanted and your parents would never have to know grief at least not yet. As far as the body at the museum there is a child that was murdered not far from there and his body is beyond recovery. I could have that child's family have closure and his killer brought to justice in your place. Though Shiro if we go this way you will have no memory of this life . When you are born it will be as your first life. Kit you may retain you powers but only if you work with Morrigan and her family to help with keeping evil at bay. One more thing Shiro the girl Lilli will remember you and someday you may meet how do you feel about that?" The father lets the two of them think it over and Shiro is the first to reply. 

"I do not mind that plan since I will not remember being sick or dying. Though I would want Lilli to be at peace over me. If I meet her again I hope we can be true friends. Hopefully my big brother here can meet her for she is truly a wonderful girl." He tells the father. Morrigan laughs as she knows what the father is thinking already and agrees. 

Kitsune looks at the father and asks. 

"Does this mean I now will have a real name and family. I will become Shiro and be able to help those around me?" He is hopeful that this is truly what the father is meaning. 

"Yes Kit that is what I mean you will become Shiro and he will become your brother in about eighteen months. When that happens you will become true brothers. Once I join hands with you your blood will match his family's except you will still have your powers of healing and fire. Only to be used for good. This woman will send someone to your family that can help you with your ability. All will be well do not worry. So is this agreeable to you both." The father asks . The two agree and the father takes Kitsune's hand and his appearance and all of Shiro's memories are now his. He takes Shiro's hand and his essence is now absorbed ready to be reborn in eighteen months to his family as a new child. The father disappears and Morrigan takes her leave after giving the new shiro a tight hug telling him. 

" you will be loved and accepted for who you are and will be. For you are not just Shiro but also Kitsune. My little Lilli will love you dearly do not fear. Your family will always be by your side and when you meet your little brother again protect him fiercely. " kissing Shiro's cheek Morrigan leaves and goes to tell the family what has been decided. When she stops by the museum she does the fathers bidding and replaces Shiro's body that is no longer to be with that of the child who needs to have justice. She then goes to find the those who were at fault for the death of the real Shiro and erases their memories of him except that he was sick. Morrigan feels that they are getting off easy but it is the grace given so that the two boys can have the life they deserve and want. By that way these people are given a new chance at a good life if they wish to take it. Hopefully they will. Once that is done Morrigan goes to see the family.
