Book 5! Reader X Baki Characters ~The Bottle Of Curse~

Cherishing memories

A few hours had passed since you and the others parted to go rest back at your places after spending a couple of hours together at the beach,but before leaving you had all agreed to meet again later that day.

Katsumi sujested you all went to the summer festival happening,and you were all glad to join so you agreed.Besides,the summer festival sounded really fun and all of you had always wanted to go.With their lifestyles full of fighting and training,the others hadn't been able to to go to the summer festivals before,so now they were all looking forward to it and wanted to experience it to it's fullest.

A summer festival experience wouldn't be complete without wearing a yukata,so you all agreed to meet up a little earlier before going to the festival, to find yukatas to your likings.Well...,not exactly everyone.Yep!,you guessed it,everyone but Yujiro.But noone dared to say anything about it,since you were all shocked he was going to come along to the festival in the first place.

You were currently laying down on the living rooms sofa looking for inspo of what yukata you were going to choose,with Anubis next to you observing you without saying anything.The two of you had agreed to avoid going to your room for a little while,after what happened with the mysterious tentacle under your bed.

"Hmm...,there are so many pretty designs!So many colors...Which one do you think would suit me best?",you asked Anubis but he didn't respond and you let out a small sigh.

The reason Anubis wasn't talking to you was because he didn't want you to go to the festival,but when you asked him why,he didn't explain himself.You knew that this meant you had to either figure it out yourself or trust his warning,but you weren't willing to miss the festival for any reason.

"Come on now!,there is no way something is going to happen!Besides I'll have you and the others with me...,sooooo...."

. . .

"Quit ignoring me!"

"You are young and naive.Either trust my instinct or don't talk to me".

"What do you mean trust your instinct..?Don't you arleady know what's going to happen?If something bad even happens in the first place",you said rolling your eyes.

"Not this time.I can't do it.And that only happens when other gods who use magic are involved.Listen to me and don't go!,you might be in danger!My bad feeling is strong!Why don't you believe me?!"

You had never seen Anubis so upset and persistent,he never yelled or warned you so directly,but you somehow still wasn't entirely convinced.

"Stop overreacting!,everything will be just fine!Have some faith in us now will you?Don't underestimate the others and YOUR power.Besides even human,I,was able to trap you in the ultimate source of power!"

. . .

"I...!I-Im sorry...",you apologized for reminding him about that,as since that incident you two had become friends.However,Anubis didn't say anything and afterwards you felt guilt and regret for your harsh words.You had taken it too far.

"Look...,you don't have to worry about anything,arlight?Just have some faith in me now will you?I promise that everything will go just fine!It's just a little festival..,that's all",you said sitting up from the couch and picked up the ultimate source of power along with you,as it was now time for you to get ready.

(Looks like I can't change destinies after all...)
