My Pawfect Rebirth

186: Incognito

The automatic feeling of opening her eyes happened and it practically forced her to wake up. 

'What... What happened?' Izumi sat up from the bed and looked down at her arm to see an IV attached to her and the beeping machine on the other side of the bed. 

'I'm in the hospital again? Ah-' 

She looked down at her clothes to see she was still wearing her clothes from when she went on her date with Katsuki to the Amusement Park. 

'That's right, me and Kacchan had to deal with another Shinigami... So where's Kacchan? I remember that both of us inhaled a lot of Chloroform and we passed out shortly after the Captain and Chief got there, but is Kacchan in a worse state than me?' she thought. 

The greenette heard the door click open and she looked up and had to bat her eyes a few times to see it was Emra entering her room. 

"Ah- Emra..." 

"Well I'm relieved that you're awake, now I think it'd be best if I talked to you."

"So... another Shinigami is taken care of?" 

"Yes, and that only means that there are 2 more Shinigami that are blocking you and Katsuki's path." Emra said. 

"Emra... did you know something like this was going to happen to me and Kacchan? The Shinigami, I mean?" 

It took a little bit for Emra to respond, as she let out a sigh first. 

"Yes, I knew something bad was going to happen, but I couldn't tell when. Though I knew something was going to try and hurt you and Katsuki in this life as well, I wasn't 100% certain as to what it would be. But after that bridge incident you and Katsuki went through, I figured it out right away when me and Phoenix found Ikari in Katsuki's hospital room trying to take his soul. I managed to stop Ikari with enough of my Spiritual Power, but right now... I can barely even use my powers." Emra stated.

"What? You can't use your powers? But why?" 

"Because of what I had to do to fix you and Katsuki's life. Since I was the one that had to rewind time and fix everything in the past, it ended up taking a toll on my body and mainly my powers. So though I may be an immortal, that doesn't mean I have infinite power and because of everything I've had to fix, not even the Shinigami will listen to me. Of all the times for them to resent me, they just had to do it when my powers were at their lowest. This means there's no possible way I could even attempt at saving you this time, and it's honestly a surprise that you and Katsuki haven't been in a terrible situation with the Shinigami. To say that luck has been on your side is a good thing, that and it might be because your Fate is helping you out." Emra explained.

"I didn't know your powers would weaken this much, I'm sorry." 

"Don't apologize for something you can't fix. It was my decision to fix the past and I didn't want you or Katsuki to go through all that pain again, but it seems no matter what path it may be, you two are bound to find trouble." Emra noted. 

"So... does this mean you can't help me or Kacchan in finding the last 2 Shinigami?" 

"Unfortunately no, but that doesn't mean there isn't someone who can't. The entire time that the Shinigami have gotten involved with you two, there's been someone else watching them for me." 

"Who?" 

"Lily." 

"Ah- Lily? But why Lily?"

 "In case you forgot, Lily was a Shinigami when you first met her, and that means that she knows a lot of information about the other Shinigami even when she's now a Grim Reaper. She's been on watch since that bridge incident, so you should be thankful that there's been someone helping you out." Emra stated.
