I had fallen asleep while sitting next to mom but when I woke up she was nowhere to be found. I panicked, frantically looking around the room for mom. Just as I was about to call for Luke, she walked into the room.
"Should you be walking around in your condition mom?" I asked, rushing to her side.
"Don't worry dear, I'm starting to feel better so I thought I'd get up to stretch my legs," Mom said walking back over to the bed.
"Oh, you're feeling better? That's great to hear but you shouldn't strain yourself or you might get worse," I explained hoping mom would take extra caution.
"Alright I'll be careful, anyway what should we do today?" Mom asked sitting on the bed.
"I'm not sure I just want to spend the day with you,"
"Well then, let's head out," she said standing back up, I looked up at her shocked, "what? I don't want to be in bed all day and I'm sure that you don't want to hang around me bedside all day either, so let's go out and
I walked back to the house and up to Kami's room, where Kaname and Kami were waiting for me."Told you she'd come, you owe me $15," Kaname said with a smirk.Kami sighed and asked me "have you come to decision yet?""I have but I have a few questions first, " I said giving Kami a serious look, Kaname and Kami looked at each other then back at me."Shoot, " Kami said smirking."Whatever you did to mom only affects her cause she's our mom right?" I raised the question hoping my hunch was right."That's correct, where are you going with this?" Kami asked looking at me and Kaname suspiciously."Your power affects the subconscious so if she were to truly believe that she isn't our mother then would it be enough to free her?" I asked, hoping this would be my way out."Even if she were to truly believe that, nothing would change. My power indeed affects the mind but I have complete control over it from the moment I lay a hand on you."
"Luke!" I said as I entered the bunker, "Luke are you still here?""Of course I'm still here where am I going to go?," Luke said poking his head in my direction, "also stop yelling, nobody's supposed to know about this place,""I just wanted to make sure you're still here,""It's literally one narrow hallway leading to this room then from this room it breaks into 3 others," Luke explained. "Anyways what do you want?""Is Mom around?" I asked excitedly."Actually no, this morning a few maids came to take her to the hospital as Kaname requested," he said organizing a few things."Oh, I was hoping to spend time with her today,""Well, she isn't here so what will you do now?""We could hang out together," I said excited, "I actually don't know anything about you but you know so much about me,""Your family is common knowledge to the public, your father did start a whole war you know," he said giving me a side-eyed look refus
"Yes of course General, " the soldier said struggling to get up."At ease soldier, you're still injured don't push yourself. You need your rest, ""Thank you General, how may I assist you?""I was wondering how you got severely burned, do you remember how it happened?""I don't remember all the details but I do remember a few things, ""Thank you soldier any amount of testimony helps""I was on the frontline, the commander there had told us to advance further to try and push back the enemy's territory. I was leading the charge and someone appeared in front of me, the next thing I knew I was laying here, " the soldier told me."Do you remember who the person in front of you was?" I asked."I'm sorry General I don't remember, ""Thank you for your statement soldier, I wish you a speedy recovery, " I said as left to let the man heal. "If it was indeed a person who appeared in front of him then it must have been a high-ranki
"2 on 1 hardly seems fair and it seems as though you were about to get your ass beat," I said teasing Kami. "HA, you wish after this is over I'm soooo kicking your ass," Kami said as I teleported her to my side. "When was the last time we fought side by side huh?" I asked Kami, feeling a sense of nostalgia. "Pfft, as if we'd ever get the chance to fight side by side like this, " Kami said giving a small smile. "You can remember it more vividly when you're drawing your last breathes," the commander said charging at us. Kami then ran to the right so I ran to the left, the commander went after her first. Kami then picked up the pace and ran faster she gave me a look and I nodded. I then teleported her onto the commander. She marked him and jumped off I teleported her back to me. "Say hi to Satan for me asshole," Kami said as she activated her power but nothing happened. "oh you've gotta be kidding me," "Nice try girls but my power
"Kami!?" I screamed as I got up from the dirt and rushed to her side making sure she was ok."Get away..from me," Kami said coughing up blood."You're alright, " I said hugging her as tears welled up in my eyes. "B-but what was that crack?" I turn around to see that Gem had taken the blow for Kami, cracking her bones. "Gem!? What're you doing here?""You were the one who summoned me, ""I did?" I asked, confused."Forget it, just get Kami out of here, " Gem told me as she teleports the Commander a great distance from us."No...I…fight, " Kami said spitting up more blood."The only fight you should be worried about is the one for your life, " Gem said as I hesitated to send Kami away. "she'll die if you don't move quickly, " Gem said seeing me still hesitating, I want her to live for sure but even with Gem here I don't have enough combat skills to take down such a great opponent. As I thought about it Kami has warped away from m
After placing a drop on Kami and Kaname, Kaname woke up and struggled to sit up. Kami on the other hand didn't move, I was about to place another drop on her when Kaname grabbed my arm and shook his head."Can you speak?" I asked just to make sure."Well, that's a stupid question, of course not, " Sinn said standing next to Kaname's bed. "No I couldn't have put it any nicer, " Sinn said looking at Kaname."Wait you know what he's staying?" I asked Sinn, looking dumbfounded."Of course I can, we're bound together I could basically read his mind, ""Could you tell me what he knows about Deity tears?""Don't tell her anything it's not the time yet, " Kaname thought."He knows nothing about it but where did you get it?" Sinn asked."Father gave it to me when I gave him the report, " I said looking down."Oh damn, I know he was upset, " Sinn laughed "I'm surprised he didn't kill you, blee the entire mission. Oh well at least
I open the bush to find Luke's jacket, I picked it up and a person with horns pops out, I looked at Kaname."He's pretty smart," Sinn said, replying for Kaname. "losing the clothes would aid his escape better but of course he slipped up giving it to a demon," Sinn said and the jacket started glowing. Kaname shielded me as the jacket glowed and then dissipated."Hehehehehehe, good to see you again Kaname," the demon said."What did they say?" Kaname asked Sinn."They said it was nice to see you again Kaname," I said to Kaname, "stop talking, you'll make yourself worse,""How did you understand that?" Sinn asked me, I looked at him confused, "demons speak an ancient language, it was around before shinigami," Sinn explained."I don't know, I just understood them," I said looking at the demon."I've never seen you before, who are you?""I'm Karma, Kaname's sister and you are?" I asked extending my hand to the female demon."
"Natsu I need to see Luke right now," I said giving Natsu a look of determination."Uh, sure and you know there's no rush it's not like he's going anywhere," Natsu said jokingly."Just where did they take him Natsu?""Follow me," Natsu said as we walked through to get to the infirmary, I kept my head down a majority of the time as Nastu stopped to talk to his comrades. In my head, I hoped and prayed that no one would recognize me and thankfully no one did. I thought to myself I probably should've brought Kaname or even Lyst with me. Once we got to the infirmary, I put my head up a bit to see Luke, for the first time he looked genuinely happy. He was laughing with a bunch of other people and being greeted by people, he looked like he was where he belonged. I felt a pain in my chest, it hurt to see someone else enjoying the one thing I wanted most. Why is it that everyone else gets to have that feeling but for me? Did I do something wrong? Was I unworthy of
