My Hero, My love: Potential (Book 2)

Chapter 8 - Bear the Pain

There was a moment where I thought to myself. If I could change the world back to what it was, would I do it? Would I have the resolve to re-write the present to the past?

My answer is...Yes, but with conditions.
-------------

"Dead?" I ask. My heart dropping into a despair.

"Yes. How do you think we make copies of humans into carriers? We kill them, take their souls and put them into vessels called 'Inputs'. That's why we're called the carriers. We 'carry the souls' into the inputs." He explains.

I get up and wrap my bandage around my hand as tight as I could. I limp-run over and try to punch him but he moves out of the way so that a shadow can tackle me.

"Yui?"

"...."

"Yui, please. Talk to me. I know you're in there!" I yell.

Ageno comes over and I get tossed to the window. It shatters and glass pierces my right arm.

'Xerite glass' I thought. My right arm was already hit by that sword but now I think I'm incapacitated. I can't feel it anymore.

"I hate you." I told him.

"I know" He said as he pulled out a scythe handle. There was a quick click and the scythe handle bursted out a pole. The blade slides out the pole like a pocket knife. He starts walking towards me.

"Stop trying. It's over." He said as he raised the blade. It came down but just before he had struck me, Hoshi jumped in my way. Her body fall limp to the floor beside my right, blood spewing out of her waist.

"Hoshi! Are you ok?!" I yell.

"I'm fine but get away from the window!!"

"Huh?" I say as Ageno kicks me closer to the ledge. He keeps kicking me closer and closer as my vision gets blurrier and blurrier. With my head now over the edge and his foot on my chest. He pushes.

"Yui, poor poor Yui. What do you think she would say if she saw you like this?" He taunts.

"shut up..." I answer.

"Aimi too! She loves you too. More than a brother." He grins.

"What?"

"Were you that oblivious? You have three girls on your tail. Hoshi, Yui, and Aimi! Yet you can't stay away from either of them!"

"Shut Up! You don't know anything!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! I AM YOU!" He says as he pushes me closer to the edge.

My bandage starts to bury itself into my arm, Projecting a time limit on my wrist. It says:

'00: 1 :59 seconds left.'

'I can feel my arm again!' I thought.

I grabbed ageno's foot and lifted it up enough to the point where I could roll to the right and get up. I ran over to Hoshi then my Pocket began to vibrate. I reached my hand in and pulled out Aimi's necklace. I put it around her neck.

"Why?" She asked.

"I know it will help you at some point" I answered happily.

"Do you want to know why I took two people you...no.....WE care about?" He asked.

"We aren't the same. You know that" I told him.
