Higanbana

Chapter 5

TITLE

~Higan's Decision~

Third person POV-

"Senku, do you plan to save every last person on this earth.. all the way to those rotten-hearted old bastards?" Tsukasa asked raising an eyebrow. "I'm sure some of them, at least have some kind of gratitude.. and we can bring civilization back, they'll surely be thankful.." he said as his face shows a twist of disgust.

"That's our land."
"Give us rent, pay us taxes!"

"If they come back and still try to prey on the weak.. I won't let them do any of that anymore.." Tsukasa said calmly. While this is happening, Higan slowly retreated back to land. She watches this unfold from a distance, but don't let her calm expression fool you. She is on high alert.

"This is the stone world. An unsullied, unsoiled, immaculate paradise.."

Senku POV-

"By reviving only the pure and young, we can keep living as we are now alongside nature where nothing belongs to anyone. This is our chance to purge humanity! Don't you think so as well, Senku?" Tsukasa asked with a slight smile, he saw Higan's calm expression for the corner of his eyes.

"No.. I don't, not even for the tiniest millimeter.." I said to him. "Mecha, robots, space, Doraemon.. and all the exciting technology that makes those happen, I'm just a young man who fell in love with that." I said with confidence.

"And with the power of science, I'm going to save all of humanity. Every last person." I declare to him.

'he is gonna be a serious issue here.. I think we'd have been ten billion times better off with a lust-crazed evil corrupt emperor... But still, if we hadn't woken him up.. we would have been killed.. we didn't really have a choice.. we're stuck!'

I looked towards Tsukasa, and suddenly a hand rested on my shoulder. I saw a glimpse of red, it was Higan. "He still wants to save the young.. so he can't do anything to us until he learns about the recipe for the depetrification." She commented with a grin and I grin at her as well.

'she is right, that will be our trump card against Tsukasa.. no matter what happens, the miracle cave water must be kept secret from him at all costs.'

"WOOOHOOO!! Senku! Higan! Tsukasa!" Taiju's voice suddenly rang in our ears. "We saved up enough miracle cave wa-" Taiju was cut off when Higan suddenly covered his mouth.

'FUCK! you stupid oaf!!'

._._._._._._._._._._.

Higan POV-

'shit that careless mouth of his..'

I pinched Taiju's cheeks as we walked back to the tree house. I looked towards Senku and he seemed stressed.

"Ow.. what was that for?" Taiju whine. "Don't whine Taiju, you made a very big mistake." I whisper as I smile darkly at him. Chill ran down his spine when he saw my sweet smile.

'everything is fine... Everything.. is.. FiNe.. eVeRyThInG is NOT FINE- this is not his fault, this is not his fault, this is not... FUCK. IT'S HIS FAULT FOR BEING SO TRUSTING!!'

my mind is racing, it's in a crisis of its own.

'calm down.. we can still salvage the situation... Somehow..'
