The Adventures of Blackwing 2: Saving Our Time

Chapter 12: A Reunion or Two

I woke up the next morning, feeling terrible. I had been crying all night, and I'm sure the day would be the same.

Yuma was still asleep, so I figured I would go out and buy us some breakfast from one of the nearby shops. However, I did wake Yuma up before I left.

"Hey, I'm going to go get us some food. You can stay here and rest if you want." I told him.

Yuma nodded and closed his eyes. They were red, just like mine.

Anyways, I walked out to town and stopped by one of the Kawaii breakfast shops. They have marshmallows shaped like cats that are SO cute.

So, I ordered food and sat down at one of the tables nearby. I scrolled through my text messages, obviously not answering Shark's texts.

I almost dropped my phone when I realized it. I had thought of the marshmallows! Shark would put the pieces together and find out where we were at!

Once I got the food, I began quickly walking back to the house.

Once I was there, I put the food on the counter and sat down on the couch.

I could hear Yuma screaming in his room, but they weren't things I could make out.

Suddenly, Shark appeared in front of me. I stood up and got in a defensive stance.

"Stay away from me! I don't know how you got here, but leave me and Yuma alone!" I yelled.

Zueki, this is just me contacting you from Paris. You need me. I can see it in your eyes.

"Shut up! Don't come near me!" I yelled at him.

Shark continued to walk towards me as tears started falling down my face.

"Shark, you don't know what it's like! My own brother abandoned me at an orphanage, then Yuma adopted me. Then we had Jessica abusing us, friends of mine DYING because of her, now you have to add onto that by hurting us even more!" I screamed.

Zueki, don't blame anyone but me. I'm the reason Yuma was with Jessica.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" I screamed.

Shark suddenly grabbed both of my wrists and pulled me towards him. He gently kissed my forehead, and dozens of memories came flooding back to me.

Don Thousand hurting me...

Shark and Yuma taking care of me...

Shark protecting me by taking away my memories...

Everything...

I fell to my knees, hugging myself. I suddenly saw one of Shark's memories, where he looked at the texts on his phone. They WERE put there by Eva! Shark hadn't done anything wrong!

I began crying uncontrollably.

"I-I'm sorry! I should have never said any of those awful things to you!" I said.

Shark bent down to me. Zueki, it's okay. I'm coming to Japan. I'll be with you and Yuma soon.

I looked at him. "H-How?"

Marshmallows.

I couldn't help but laugh. Shark had found us, and it was my fault, but I was happy he was coming here.

I went to go hug Shark, but he disappeared. Just in time too, because Yuma was actually walking out of his room. I figured it would be best not to say anything.

---
It was only the first day of Yuma and I being in Japan, and I still wasn't used to it. The fact that we left Shark was still bothering me. I know he didn't cheat on Yuma.
