Part II

          "So?" Yusei's voice fluttered through thin air of nothingness surrounding him, while his hands were hidden in the pockets, as if they were trying to escape the redness of the sky that was bleeding over the clouds like it had an open wound engraved into its puffiness.

"So what?" Little brunette just hissed back in the same manner, breaking his question with another one of her own.

          "Are you coming with me to the Future or not?" The coldness of his voice was so harsh that it was able to make Hanako shiver to the bone, whilst leaving her conflicted by the way his eye was looking at her. It was glowing different than before, letting her see that displeased and bitter shimmer in the blueness of the rounded lake.

"I already gave you my answer!" She was persistent in her decisions, knowing that escaping to the Future would be the same as running away from trouble and other problems, and it was not the way she was fighting her battles.

          "It's a shame, you know", Yusei shrugged while his steps were slowly bringing his body closer to Hanako, "All this time you were suffering here", he kept talking on his path towards her, putting his hands into pockets halfway through. "And now when I am the one giving you freedom and salvation, you are choosing to stay here and keep on suffering?"

"My choices do not concern you!" Hanako angered her eyebrows, what caused her eyes to narrow, "I have my reasons and you are the last person in this world that should stick their nose into my business!"

          "You're not in a position to be picky, Baby!" A smirk appeared just above Yusei's jaw, as he leaned his head over Hanako and looked down at her, dominating over her personal space, "Especially not now when I am on top of you!"

"When you're on top, the only way you can go is down", she answered angrily, giving him back that cold and frightening gaze, even though she was shivering with fear deep inside her soul.

          "And who is going to drag me, you?" Yusei's eyes kept narrowing, until he could only see the glow in Hanako's eyes, "When you are not even able to free yourself from my mind!"

"From your... mind?" Hanako whispered, as a conclusion slowly started filling her brain before she slowly began to understand what was going on, "Wait a second!" She furrowed her eyebrows and pierced Yusei's eye with her gaze, as her mind slowly brought all of the puzzles together, leading her to the answer she was trying to find; and just as the light appeared at the end of the tunnel, her eyes widened with the concerned glow appearing in them, "No..."

          "Yes!" Yusei gave as an answer, "You finally realised how powerful I am!"

"I kicked Yusei out of the hospital room... because of you!" Hanako's voice slowly started to grow stronger, collecting all the fury she was feeling, like breadcrumbs on her way toward the truth.

          "So you do remember?"

"What have you done?!" Hanako screamed, as her voice scratched her throat and left a sore feeling of pain inside. "Why did you make me hate him?"

          "Oh, was it I who made you hate him?" Yusei's eyebrow rose at her accusation, "Look inside your Heart, Baby!" He added, while watching Hanako dive on him, before she reached his chest, "You hate me, don't you? You hate Yusei!"
