Fading memories: Forgiveness

Hate

(This part of the story is told through perspective of Tatsuya)

Yasashi didn't want to stop running, he then stop to catch his breath. I face towards him

Tatsuya: What the hell is that? What's going on?

Yasashi: what it is doesn't concern you.

Tatsuya: At least tell me what you saw

Yasashi didn't say anything, keeping to himself as usual. I tried to lift his spirits as i try to change my ways. The war ended a month ago so everything is back to how it should be. Therefore i'm trying to change my ways of power hungry to what i was like when i was alive. Doing what i want and lighting up peoples spirit. Yasashi however became more and more silent, he didn't ask me to leave his side but he also wouldn't acknowledge my existence. I had one important question to ask.

Tatsuya: Yasashi, Do you hate me!?

His eyes widen and he turns towards me as he looks at me in shock.

Tatsuya: Look i know what i did to your family when we were alive but that was beyond my will. If i knew it would have lead to this point then I wouldn't have done it. Just talk to me dammit!

I was never one to express my emotions to him, anyone for that matter. But he was the first person to show me human kindness so i figured it was the right thing to do. He finally gave me an answer i was looking for.

Yasashi: i do not hate you, what i've done is nothing compared to what you have done, I-

I cut him off

Tatsuya: You aren't worse then me! Nobody is...

These words took him by surprise but he continued.

Yasashi: My cousin is following us. I can tell, i saw him with another being.

I didn't know what he has talking about, there's no way Kusuri could be a demon to... right?
