~Epilogue~
And this is how the last story about Light and Darkness that I wanted to present to you ends. It was certainly an extraordinary journey, showing different stories, but at the same time touching the same topic - can two such opposing poles as Light and Darkness connect at some point? I'll leave it to your own choice, but one thing is for sure - as Miyuki said in Book 4, wanting to stop the battle between vampires and wizards - Light and Darkness certainly couldn't exist without each other. If there was only Light but no Darkness, what would be its meaning? Likewise, if there was only Darkness in the world, wouldn't its existence be pointless without trying to "devour" the Light?
I think most of us will agree and love both our light and dark sides, because we, as humans, have both of these elements - Light and Darkness. It is up to us which of them we will let overcome the other in our hearts. And no matter if you believe in God, another higher power or you are an atheist, you ceRelated chapters
Light & Darkness: Book 4 ~Prologue~
"You are my Light that illuminates the Darkness within me..."Never before could I have thought that these words would evoke such great emotions in me and would be associated with a person who completely turned my world upside down. There were actually two people who did this, but one in particular shook my heart especially hard.For most people, I am an ordinary girl whose life has nothing special going on, just another student who makes some extra money after classes in a bar. When someone got to know me a little closer, found out that I was an orphan who lost my parents very early and was looked after by my grandmother from mother's side, who, however, died just before I went to college. From that moment on, I was left all alone and had to cope somehow, working hard to pay for my studies, living and a tiny, cramped apartment, which was quite far from the center of Tokyo, where the bar where I worked and my university were, but it was quite walkable, besides a
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 1 - The Sad Story of Miyuki Sakurai
"My grandmother told me from childhood that there is a terrible evil lurking in the dark, so I should beware of the darkness... So I have always been afraid of the dark. I always came home before dusk and asked my mother not to turn off the light in my room. Then she would light a candle for me and put it on the bedside table next to my bed to save electricity. I stared at that flame and felt safe, as if some invisible force hidden within that flame was watching over me, protecting from all evil. However, the darkness caught me then in my dreams, it lurked, hiding in its depths overgrown creatures with huge teeth, long claws and wild eyesight. Chased by these terrible creations of my childhood imagination, I would always wake up screaming, and my grandmother was always there for me first, but probably mostly because her room was closest to mine. Grandma calmed me down, and with her all the darkness disappeared, even when the light was not on, and the monsters disappeared along w
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 2 - Two Mysterious Strangers
On October 30, 2019, Miyuki had been attending university classes with her friend Yumiko since early morning. Time passed pleasantly for her, as always, because Miyuki truly felt called to be a social worker and each university lesson prepared her for this task. She absorbed the knowledge with great curiosity, but not only for good results - Miyuki simply wanted to learn all this and was interested in every word of the professors.Yumiko was also interested in learning, maybe not as much as Miyuki did, but still. However, that day she was extremely distracted, flirting from a distance with one of the colleagues from the course, who sat several places behind them. He was not a new student, but rarely attended classes, which was why he caught Yumiko's eye only now, and this guy was very much of her type - well built, tall, with black eyes and hair, darker skin, and with very masculine face features. Surprisingly, among musicians, Yumiko liked different types of men, even quite di
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 3 - The Night Walk
Finally, Miyuki reached into her purse and pulled out the pepper spray, holding it tightly in her hand, ready to use it to defend herself at any moment. Eventually, the stranger following Miyuki was walking very close, right behind her, so she turned swiftly towards him and held out the hand with pepper spray can in front of her, ready to use it, however she felt the stranger grab her hand and pull it aside.When Miyuki felt the hooded man's touch, she shivered so hard from hand to the shoulder, that she let the gas can out of her hand and it fell onto the pavement with a clatter. It was then that Miyuki and the man's eyes met, and she was paralyzed with fear when looked into his deep black eyes.- Please do not use it on me.- said the stranger in a pleasant, warm, low and slightly hoarse voice.- Sorry to scare you, miss, but I'm not a creep, and I didn't really follow you, I just happened to be going the same way.- he assured fervently, releasing her wrist, then with the
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 4 - Searching for Light
The next day November started, and Miyuki, despite going to bed late, got up at 5 am, so she could easily get ready to go out after 7 to be on time on her classes. As the bar where she worked was near the university, therefore the road was similar, and also took about 20 minutes to walk with a faster pace. Therefore, Miyuki left the house at 7:10 am and started walking downtown. On the way, of course, she met Yumiko, who immediately began to brag about yesterday's date.- You know, I think that this time I really hit the jackpot.- she summed up, beaming all over. Miyuki had never seen her so pleased, so she believed Yumiko had found someone really worth paying attention to.- I am very happy about it.- Miyuki said sincerely, although she felt a slight pang of jealousy, but completely buried this feeling in herself, in the end she should be happy with her friend's happiness.When they both arrived at the main university building at 7:45 a.m, they went straight to class
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 5 - The Teacher
- Overall, how was your day today, Miyuki?- Aoi asked, looking at her curiously, walking right next to her.- I have to admit that it was one of the lighter days, both at the university and at work.- Miyuki replied, also glancing at him.- And how was your day?- she asked him the same question, mainly to keep the conversation going, but she was also curious about what Aoi was up to that he couldn't sneak out so easily today, and barely caught up with her walking back home.- I had a concert and a meeting with the fans, so it didn't pass so calmly, but generally without major incidents.- Aoi replied with a slight smile.- Then two photo-shoots and an unannounced mini-meeting with the fans at the agency where I was doing a photo shoot, which made me come home later than I had planned. But well, the fans were so excited that I decided to give them a little fan-service as they already came, I even sang one of my songs... And it stretched out a little.- he sighed a little.- So...

Later that day, after completing her visit to Kai Ichatashiko's office, Miyuki went to the rest of the classes at the university. Of course, during the first break, when they sat down on "their" bench in the alley, under a cherry tree, Yumiko immediately asked her about her impressions.- Well, I think Kai Ichatashiko is actually a good psychologist. I think therapy with him will help me get over my fear of the dark.- Miyuki replied.- That's great, but I also mean what he is like. You know, if he is as handsome as in the pictures.- Yumiko directed Miyuki to the most interesting issue, at least for her.- Ah, I don't know.- Miyuki said evasively, but seeing her friend's displeased expression, she sighed slightly.- He looks normal, like every human being. I think the photos reflect his appearance in reality very well.- she added after a moment, resigned.- So I understand that Kai Ichatashiko is attractive to you?- Yumiko asked with a slight smile.- I didn't
Light & Darkness: Book 4 Chapter 7 - Taming the Darkness: Part 2
And it happened - when the first weekend of November 2019 came, Miyuki for the first time in a long period, having a weekend off, could not spend it with Yumiko and had to somehow organize her own free time. When she was spending it with her friend, Miyuki didn't have to plan or come up with anything, because Yumiko had a lot of ideas about where to go and what to do. Even if Miyuki didn't like every idea of her friend, and sometimes was drawn to places like clubs and bars, but she still preferred to go there with Yumiko rather than having to think up ways to spend time alone, by herself.This weekend, however, Miyuki had no choice - Yumiko had to stay home with her older brother, who had every weekend off at work as he worked as a clerk. Yumiko and Harue's mother usually dropped by for a short time, an hour or two, and during the week, but this time knowing that they both had the weekend off, she probably decided to spend more time with her children. Besides, a few months ago,
