208: Seethe

(i realized just how many parts this fic has.... due to me following the story and not doing a side-plot type of thing... whoopsies)

A... or B.

Both.

You weren't the second strongest for nothing, you had to at least try.

You lifted both of your hands, deciding to use two moves simultaneously. You shot off a simple technique in the direction of the boy, quickly freezing the curses behind him. At the same time, with your left hand, you shot a move directed towards Suguru.

"Cryogenic Cursed Technique: Trembles of The Cold."  

Suddenly, a torrent of ice and snow travelled underground, and fast. Within a split second, it exploded out from underground and caught Suguru, or rather, whoever was inhabiting his body. The fast moving blizzard surrounded him, freezing and encasing his body in a layer of ice, which continued to do further damage to him, shown by blood leaking out from under the ice, the red droplets freezing moments after.

You turned, looking back at the boy. More curses.

Damn it, where's this influx coming from?

You looked back at Suguru for just a second, who was still frozen, his blood leaking through the ice, you could also see how he was trying to break free of the ice. And again, you felt like you had to pick... Incapacitate him or save the boy? 

You huffed, turning, running towards the boy. He was obviously not aware of the cursed spirits chasing him, he couldn't see them. You shot another move towards the cursed spirits, all of them quickly crumbling into snow. You picked up the boy, sighing. "Where are your parents?" You asked, looking at him.

"My mom..." He pointed behind him, at a body laying down on the ground. "And my... dad." 

Beside the body, another.

You bit your cheek, you couldn't take this kid into battle with you...

You ran towards the parents, carrying him, and began to use one of your regeneration techniques on them, they were just injured, not dead... Knocked unconscious by something.

Satoru... wait for me... Just wait.

As soon as you were done, you stood up straight. They would... what? Heal, and then die again from all the cursed spirits nearby? Damn it, damn it! Why were you so focused on saving this kid? This kid who you didn't know? His parents who you couldn't care less about? When the love of your life was right there!?

You screamed at yourself internally as you raised a hand, manipulating your cursed energy to form ice, which began to carry the parents and the child.

(kinda like frozone icl...)

The kid, who thought he began floating, was obviously getting freaked out. Your ice was made of cursed energy, not water, so he couldn't see it. At a moment like this, you'd have laughed, told him to not worry...

"Calm down." You said, your voice harsher than you intended it to be.

But this wasn't like any other moment. 

You began running upstairs with them, trying to get these... these obstacles out of your way.

Why do I care so much? Why now, when every second matters? I don't care about saving you. I don't want to help you three. I need to help HIM, not you. Not you! Why... Why am I saving you?
