Chapter 6

 The memory slowly fades away, bringing them back to reality. Alan stares at his fist.

" I didn't want it, because i guess i was afraid." Leon confesses.

" What would could a big oaf like you could possibly be afraid of." Alan jests.

" Even i'm not sure, but like you said...i should just trust you right?." He smiles then downs his remaining drink.

" I should take my leave, we still have alot to do tomorrow." He says whilst scratching his head.

 They both head towards the door, Akina appearing outta nowhere and hugs them both.

" I'm so proud of both of you, especially you." She hugs her brother once more.

" I better check up on chiki." She touches alan's cheek before setting off.

" Well till next time." Alan offers a hand shake.

" Till next time indeed." Leon firmly takes his hands.

 Alan finds akina looking at chiki as he sleeps peacefully in his crib. looking even cuter than when he's awake.

 He walks up to her and hugs her from behind wrapping his hands on her waist then resting his head on her shoulder. She touches his cheek with one hand and places the other on his arm.

**********The next day***********

 Chiki is meditating in his crib, drawing more mana particles. He is covered in sweat, almost there, just a little more. He starts drawing in the particles of mana faster and faster forming a makeshift energy vortex with him at the centre of everything.

 His entire body shimmering up with lines of different light switching from red, blue, brown, cyan and gray. Now it's time for the trials of the elements of balance, a test she told me the image of the woman in the white robe appearing in his mind. 

 The elements would forcefully try to purify the circuits using their unique properties, i wouldn't have tried it now if it didn't mean it would be easier since this bodies spirit core is still young and it wouldn't affect the body.

 He instantly feels like his circuits are burning the temperature rising by the minute the trial of fire he gasps for air his eyes opening wide emitting red light, it immediately stops and now he feels like his circuits are drowning the pressure pressing against it trial of water his eyes turning cyan, it stops he now feels like it's being crushed by a boulder he preserves. trial of the earth his eyes turning brown, he grinds his teeth it stops, now he feels like it's being cut by tiny blade his eyes turning gray, a electric feeling fries his circuit wisps of lightning walking on his body, He almost passes out as his eyes turn blue.

 The vortex immediately freezes, a silent eruption happens then it shrinks into his body, his entire eyes lightning up and switching between red, blue, brown and lastly gray before returning back to normal.

 He stops meditating smiling heartily his breathing labored and heavy, he is soaked in sweat an

" Success, i did it." He proclaims his entire body covered in a black goo.

 He closes his eyes and stretches out his palm. A tiny red flame appears accompanied by a spark of lightning, a wisp of air, a chunk of earth, and a blob of water.

 A perfect wheel of balance, complimenting each other also being each others largest nemesis.

 He fuses them together and they immediately vanish. Akina steps in.

" Morning sunshi-." She stops mid sentence and holds her nose.

" What is that smell." She says trying to find the source of the stench.

 Oh oh, chiki thinks as sniffs himself. They both make i contact, He smiles awkwardly. She walks up to him and gently lifts him up keeping him at arms length.

" What did you do. " she says whilst holding her breath.

" That's it, you're getting a bath right this instance." She hurriedly says, quickly walking out the room and heading towards the bathroom.

 She undresses him then dumps the clothes in a laundry bin, she spreads a towel on the floor.

" Don't move." She says whilst shaking her finger at him.

 She hurriedly steps into the bathroom it has a large white bath tub, the whole room is covered in beautiful white tiles. She hurriedly fills the tub with warm water then fetches him gently dropping him into the water. She pourd liquid soap on her palm and rubs it over his body using a little baby sponge to thoroughly scrub his body.

Brushing starts thoroughly brushing his armpit causing him to giggle. Foam quickly covering his whole body, that he starts looking like a snowman made of bubbles. She rinses off the foam, drains the water then fills it up again. repeating the same process.

 She finally lifts him up and sniffs him, his nice smell back and more potent.

" Much better, you little troublemaker." she rubs noses with him.

 Then dries his body with a large white towel, thoroughly rubbing his hair with the towel. She dresses him up in a little jump suit and places him down then massages her forehead.

" How did you even get that dirty." She bends down, placing her chin on her palm.

 He raises both his palm up then shrugs.

" Did you just-." She gets cut mid sentence by his growling belly.

" Oh i forgot, you haven't eaten anything yet." She smacks her head for being so forgetful.

 She picks him up, carrying him to the kitchen were she places him on a baby booster sit.

" Peas or peach." She says as she carries two little canisters from the fridge.

 He points at the peach.

" Peach it is then." She says.

 She opens it and starts feeding him, pretending the spoon is a train, everytime she brings it to his mouth.

 What do you take me for mother, when will this embarrassment end, he sadly laments as she continues doing it. he tries to resist the urge to eat it but gets overpowered everytime.

 You literally don't have to do that woman, He tries to say but his mouth is already filled with baby food.
