JUST as I expected, everyone was shocked. Mune suddenly came to me and shook my body.
"Are you out of yourself, Amaya? Why are you spitting nonsense ideas?! It won't work either!" he said. But I just pushed him aside and looked at Hiro.
"Don't do it, bro. It'll hurt you," Yna said.
But both of us ignored them.
I saw Nathan in my peripheral vision, and he was gulping continuously.
"Don't you want it?" I asked Hiro.
He sighed.
He couldn't answer yet. Gosh, it's making me nervous! Now that we're in this situation, I realize what I did. Why am I asking this in a rushed manner without even thinking about it carefully? Aish!
"Aya-"
"Are you gonna stare at each other forever? I thought you'll fetch a missing soul? What if it's gone now?" Nathan interfered.
I looked at him.
"Shut up. Talk later, kid. Now, Hiro, tell me what you're going to say."
"I don't think it would wor
KAGOME is running freely around the bed of tulips while Polo is chasing her. She's smiling to her ears genuinely. Her laugh is the sound of music to Polo's ears. He wished to hear it even after he married her. He planned to propose to her that night, but since Kagome was the leader of the whole fox nation, he couldn't find the perfect time to do it.Kagome lay down beside the tulips and smelled them."You smell and bloom like that flower. You can always find a way to grow even though only a shade of sun is what life has given to you," Polo said and kissed her forehead."Stop fooling me, Polo! Haha!" Kagome replied."Oh, do I look like that? I tried so hard to hide it, though," he said and pouted.Kagome hit his shoulder and laughed."Stop fooling around; I might miss your cute face once I leave.""Haha! Just kidding. But honestly, I meant what I said," Polo replied.A deafening silence is what resounds to the whole area.
ALL of the hypnotized missing souls passed out after the captor's disappearance. Now, I can see how many souls have been captured by her. It's hard to count."Are you okay?" Hiro asked.I smiled a bit and held his hand."I do; it's all because of you. Thanks to you, we can kill the captor," I replied."Should I be thankful that I have energy like that? It's just attracting more enemies. I'm just putting your life in danger, Aya. I don't want it," he said."No-""Yeah, you might be the reason. So why not remove the necklace? I'm sure you know how to do it. You're indifferent from a regular human," Mune butted in."I'm just a human, Mune. I'm not what you think I am," Hiro replied."Stop it, bro. There's no point in fighting. Besides, we're the ones who are putting him and Yna in danger. Can't you see? Both of them are always on the verge of death. Hiro lost his life. I just gave up one of my tails for him. But
POLO is in front of the lake with a lamp to see if he already looks promising. At that time, a mirror is not yet on-trend.At that time, he was wearing a neat t-shirt, pants, and a native hat. He brought the ring he would give to Kagome and was ready to go.He really prepared for the event that night. Festival is what Kagome has been bringing up every time they're talking. For him, every festival is essential for his girl. So in exchange, he prepared for it.Polo did his best to look prim and proper. For him, he will meet Kagome's family, whom she loves the most. He has to look presentable. He even rented his suits just for her using his pocket money.But then, right before he was going to rush to the festival, someone appeared in front of his house.It was Nina, his ex-girlfriend, who was still obsessed with him. He kept coming back to his place to persuade him to make love with her and fix their relationship again. B
THEY just made me realized how unloved I am. They contained me inside a cage like I'm some kind of a bird who will fly.They even have me wear a silver metal baller in my wrist so I would not be able to use my power; to teleport.I cried while I'm in the corner.How I wish I could turn back time when I admitted my feelings to her. I wished I said it a little later.But things are already complicated.N
"ARE you sure you'll do this?" the mountain spirit asked. I looked at him and rolled my eyes."Everything is becoming more complicated inside the twin's mansion. It's getting dangerous for the twin, especially Mune. He's being controlled by some energy I couldn't identify. I have to figure it out before things get any worse. And I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't get to claim my power back, "I said.We're traveling using the old crafts I used when I didn't have powers yet, and I used this to travel to the underworld back then. I never knew this could be useful to me this time."I think it will just make them angrier, Venus. Please, think before you do something! You're being reckless again!" Olivia said. "I don't have the time to think about their anger, Olivia. I want to remind you that I have never made a reckless decision in my whole life. I always decide for a long period. Besides, I'm just getting back what is rightfully mine.""It's not what I'm--""I thought you wanted t
INDEED, this is what love can do. It brings joy, sorrow, and the best and worst version of oneself, and it can also let one sacrifice their life no matter the consequences it might bring to them.Nathan loved Yna the moment she realized what kind of person she was. Despite hiding in the bushes and letting Mune have Yna as his mate, he still shows her what kind of love he has for her and how enormous it is. It's irreplaceable and unforgettable.Then I can say love is like a deity; it's full of power. It can change and rule oneself without even realizing it.Mune had finally come back to his senses, but Yna and Hiro were now going to the hospital.None of the guardians can help to heal the siblings because all three of them have limited power. Unfortunately, I couldn't save Yna and Hiro too because I was so busy dealing with Mune at that time to calm him.I was full of anger that I didn't notice what was happening to her surroundings anymore. "Look what you've done!""Stop nagging me.
"NO! I will not accept this! I can still walk and run and feel it within me. I need to stand up and look for Amaya! So please, let go of me!" I said while crying. I don't know what's more painful if it is my crippled legs and wounded body or my heart that is now alone and longing for my girlfriend. Can I even claim Amaya as my girlfriend? I don't know anymore. "Please, calm down! Let me hear you!" "I believe I saw Amaya. He's with me, and we're in the middle of the forests. So what am I doing here?! Get me out of here. I'm okay, please." "I'm sorry, Mr. Moonteverde. But if you still insist on standing up, we will inject you with this," the doctor said. I know what I saw, so why are they saying I'm wrong?! I heard Yna's silent cry. But I ignored her again. I'm sure she also felt the same. It just felt different. Amaya's absence is giving me terrifying nightmares. I fucking need her. "No, you will not do that. I am a patient who just woke up from being in a coma, right? So if
THERE'S no doubt that Amaya hated me, but that's the point. She has to get mad at me.I have to do all of this to protect the twins. "You're back at it again, Venus. You stopped for a month! But now you're tormenting them again. You're a horrible villain to Amaya and Mune's life!" Olivia said. "Do I have to repeat why I'm doing this, Olivia?""What? Are you still insisting that it's for their good?!""I don't understand you. Why do you have to interfere every time I decide for the twins? But to other beings like the werewolves, you're not saying anything. Why are you attacking me for the same reasons repeatedly?""I was once a fox, and I kept telling you that. The jar of soul's energy is about to be filled to the top. So why are you slowing it down and doing things to decrease its volume?! You're the one who's understandable here!" she replied. Olivia is raging whenever I'm getting in between foxes' love life.I sighed. "You have to see from within to understand the situation. Ama
WHEN Mune stopped punching, I took Amaya and carried her with my arms again. While Yna and Mune are consoling each other, I flee. As a matter of fact, I have been giving them countless problems and will just leave with the casualties on, not even planning on fixing it. At least, before going away, I get to say what I wanted. As I was walking away from Yna and Mune, random realizations hit me one by one. One of them is about Amaya's body. The fact that she's still here, her body is tangible and visible, I think it's one thing I should be thanking. Maybe I was born a masochist. I know how cruel the almighty is, but thoughts about thanking the deity are obvious evidence that I'm a fool. It feels heavy physically and emotionally while I have been carrying Amaya's body which has no life until I reached the heart of the forest. I put her in the middle and closed my eyes. I meditated to get into the deepest part of my mind. Having no experience at all of how I could use the fox marble to b
VENUS, Hein, and Dylan locked me up inside the cave. I knew I could flee or even teleported, but I couldn't do it right now. They blocked all the possible ways of my escape. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I don't have enough strength inside me. Looking at Amaya who suffered what she's meant to experience makes me want to blame myself continuously. How come she had to experience and face it alone without my presence? I know how painful it feels to face all the consequences alone. Is this the art of level of punishing one based on how heavy one mistake is?"I knew it," says Dylan. "He already knows.""What's the point of keeping it from me?" I replied bluntly. I closed my eyes, feeling all the energy build up around me. When I opened my eyes, just right after I opened my mouth, strong wind flew them all away from me— making a clear way for me to go out. A tiring body is all I have, and I used this to carry Amaya to a place I didn't know. Traveling with no direction, I guess. This
WALKING turns into running... and running turns into tears. It was the first time I finally felt the urge to cry. I feel like I'm not ready for what I'm about to face. But just waiting for her to show right before my eyes is an even harder job. I'm so tired of it, and I wanted to end it.This hope that I have been holding onto turns into a reality. A huge slap for Yna who keep on getting into my head, convincing me none could be true. "Hey, you wait for us!" Dylan called for me.There's an equal desire for Dylan and me to find Amaya. This must be it. No one can disappoint me now.Under the tree where no one lives, a tree that seems dead, the smell of Amaya gets stronger. The tears are now harder to stop from falling. Slowly, I walked towards the tree while focusing my eyes beneath the tree. I have to enter the little entrance to reach Amaya and that makes me anxious.Venus showed up. Probably, she finally sensed Amaya too.Just right before entering the little entrance, Hein held my
MOST of us had the same questions after seeing her teleported into a place we couldn't track. "Where did she go?"It's been a week now. But she's not showing us even her shadows, her smell, her voice, or her clothes. She didn't give us the hint or anything, she just left. Should I get mad at her? But what if, just what if, she's just waiting for me to find her?"We've done enough for today, Hiro. It's time to go home. You're not yet eating," says Yna. I looked at her coldly and gently nodded. But still, I continued walking, searching for her sense. I know I could find her, I know she's still there. No one would believe me, so instead of asking for their help, I just nodded. I always nodded and agreed with everything they say. Then afterward, I will continue looking at her— alone. Even if it means I have to crawl under the deepest cave, I would.Since the day Amaya left, I couldn't talk normally with anyone, not even with Yna. I have become cold-hearted, just like what they've accused
THE way he smile could creep even the worm who was just passing by. Everyone took stepped backward, clearly giving their obvious reaction because of his arrival.Inside a mansion, a dark aura surrounded the place. It's like there's a dark smoke that started to get its way in.Finn is not different when he showed up, he just became real. His real fang and monstrous side just came out."I warned you that I'm not yet done!" he shouted. His henchmen came out of his mouth— spitting black liquid that eventually became a whole different creature. He used them to become his protector and shield from their powers."What's the point of killing Hiro? Why are you so obsessed to kill him? Even if you successfully accomplish your plan, do you think Kagome will come back?!" snarled Venus. Her hands trembled but still tried so hard to hide it from him. It's kind of hard to pretend to be strong. Yet, Venus is holding on to the thought of believing in herself. That's the only key she knew to survive.F
"WHO IS THAT?" Amaya asks herself. Ruining the supposed to be "history" among the nine-tailed is like stomping on her reputation. Becoming happy and enjoying it— as it all pours inside her emotions is all she wanted. But this guy came, only to bring darker clouds with thunder rumbling on it— only to bring some dark news. But he didn't have the guts to finish his sentence. All he did is mumble and give threats with no solid plan. Yet, it's enough to make them worried. "Should we give our attention to him?" asks Hiro whose tails are now out but feels jelly. In just one look you will easily read him. Amaya knows, but she didn't tell. What's the reason for pointing out something that couldn't fix within ten seconds? Just to do the mocking? It's no use, and Amaya knows it very well. Amaya looked at him with worries that lies in between her eyes. She caressed his cheeks and rested his forehead on his. While doing so, her hand does the trick to send Finn away. It shocked Amaya to see her p
KAGOME shouted in anger. "He's a human but he seems like a nine-tailed. He has a lot of life!" Kagome stated as she went down to the ground and face Finn. "It doesn't matter right now. What's important now is you're here— we're together."Finn hugged Kagome. He couldn't contain the overflowing love and the bereavement he felt toward Kagome. It's either or both love and lust he felt. Immediately caressing her shoulder, and kissing her neck. Kagome's felt a bit off of what he was doing, she pushed him away disgustingly. "Come on, Finn, it's not important that we're together. It's not you who I wanted to be with.""And who? That Polo?!" says Finn. He shifted into a werewolf form of Nathan's body and gritted his teeth while he is also drooling. Disgusted Kagome pushed him away forcibly. She can't do it before, but she can now because her host is complete. Finn has gone insane. He grips Kagome's neck and lets his claws slide into her cheeks. Surely, it will create a scar on her face, m
"HOW COULD YOU DIE?! HOW COULD YOU?!" I shouted into Hiro's dead body, thinking as if he would answer my wailing call, my painful question. Running dry of words, all that's left are my tears and his cold body. I've been saying goodbye for the past few days without knowing I was doing it for my sake. Yelling, shaking his body, scratching my own body— I was in distress. Nothing left to do. It was the same pain I felt when Kira and Loki died."YOU!" Venus shouted at Olivia, who was still thinking about what I'd said earlier regarding her daughter."Is Yna okay?""YOU DARED TO ASK THAT?!""Stop acting as if it wasn't you who took out Kagome's heart! Stop acting as if you're not the one who has killed Hiro!" I snarled.Yelling isn't enough to show my anger, to deliver my message to her— no concrete actions are available to show it to them. Ugh, my heart hurts. My chest compresses so tight, my belly is moving so fast. I know what's next— it's our baby forcibly coming out. I wanted to ask
"ANGELINA!" Hiro shouted, pushing Yna away from me. He held me closer to him. Between his arms, he enveloped me. The way his voice raised scared me as well. Yna breathes heavily in an attempt to stop herself from shouting and doing something that could hurt me and irritate Hiro. I could've just stared at them, doing the conversation, saving me from humiliation. I could've let Hiro do the talking, and scolded Yna because of what she did that I don't even understand. Standing like a statue here won't do. Gently, I removed Hiro's arms wrapped around my shoulder. Facing Yna, I examined her. I looked around. "What did I do to him? Scratch his face? Slit his throat? Even cut his wrist? How did I do that when I'm here, unconscious, gaining back the energy I lost the last time I made a contact with the enemy?" I say, crossing my arms across my chest. I looked at Yna fiercely and examined her. "You don't have to know about it—" Hiro says, and I cut him into talking before the stupid repress
