Kako no hikari

Part three

As I headed toward the gate my mind seemed to wander deep into thought.
Everything I had lost only a month ago was rebuilt and all because a random girl in a cloak granted me a wish. I wanted to know more about her, but I don't want to return to that future full of death and nothingness. I know I'll be curious for a while but having this life I had lost was everything and more to me. I looked down at the only tattoo I have. It was a small version of mars on my left wrist. I got it for my 15th birthday. It means a lot to me. For me the meaning of Mars is my desires, actions, and passions toward my life and that I shall always fight and strive to take care of myself and the ones I love.

5-minutes later

"Sorry I took so long." Dosei said, reaching out to help stand me up from the ground.
"No problem," I smiled, taking his hand
"Let's go home now, I'm hungry." I stood up and we left the school.

"What shall we do today?" looking at Dosei who was walking next to me in comfortable silence.
"What do you want to do?" he glanced at me, while still walking toward our destination.
"Well my dads still out on his business trip and won't be back until wednesday...."
"So we could have a little one on one time if you know what I mean." I smirked, staring at his relaxed face as it began to get flustered.
"Ummmmmmm....."
"HaHaHAhAhAH!" I burst out laughing
"I'm joking." I said grabbing his cheeks in my hands and caressing his face like even a bit of strength would break him. I had to get on my tippy toes to reach and kiss his forehead and then I kissed his left cheek then the right one. I stopped to stare into his eyes. Then, While it felt like time had frozen I kissed him on his soft and oh so kissable lips that I adored.
"Instead we can cuddle and watch a movie with takeout." Dosei just stared blankly at me.
I got back on my toes to whisper in his ear.
"Or do you want to just eat me?" I said then kissed his ear, and I could feel him shiver. I kissed his cheek one more time then took his hand and pulled him so we would continue on our course home.
We walked in actional small talk and peaceful silence. Hand and hand. How could I love someone so much?
After our 20 minute walk home we arrived at my house. It was a two story modern styled barn house. It sat in the middle of a small batch of large trees. There was a decent amount of space between the houses. My dad had built it when I was 4 for us to live in with my mom, but that seems like such a long time ago. When he had built it he wanted to live in that house and never leave his wife and me, so he made a large garden on the left side of the house and on the right there was a chicken coop and a pond big enough to have a well growing ecosystem.
The last time I was here I saw a lot of sad stuff. We walked up the front path towards the front door. I could smell cookies in the oven. I knew it was my little brother baking again. I slipped my shoes and put them on the rack then put on my slippers and scurred into the kitchen.
"Suisei what are you baking today?" I asked, smelling the air.
"Peanut butter blossoms." He said and went to finish to clean up the mess he made.
"When will they be done?" I loved my brother's baking. He was just too good.
"In forty-five minutes," he looked back at me.
"But they still need to cool for 30 minutes after that. So when they're done I'll call you down to have some."He turned back to finish washing the dish he was working on.
"You better, and if you don't I'll hunt you down." I pointed at him, and he just rolled his eyes, set the timer for the cookies, and left into the family room.
"Come on Dosei, let's go to my room." I walked off toward the stairs where all the bedrooms are.
I didn't have a mansion for a house but it still was much larger than others. There were about six bedrooms in total and 5 bathrooms 2 of which were in my dads and my room. My brother had his own room and so did Dosei since at most times he spent the night and a lot of time and we had the extra space, but he doesn't really use it because he's in my room most of the time. Dosei and I have been friends since we were 10, and he started coming to my house when we were 13 and got his room as his 14th birthday gift from my dad.
"I'll wash up first." I Grabbed a change of clothes and went to take a shower in my bathroom.
"If you want to join, just knock." I said then cracked the door open, and started the shower.
I started removing my clothes, but while doing so I saw in the mirror there was a large scar that I had never seen before on my back. I traced it with my hands. When did I get it?
Then a flash of memory pooped into my head. When the world had ended I had received scars as a punishment for living through it. Those gods were such douchebags. Never mind what they did, but the scars show that even though I went back in time the state of my body and mind didn't and remained the same from the future.
