The Fate we Choose (Inazuma Eleven GO/CS)

Chapter 88 My Past, My Dream

Hisame POV

Shirabe: "Hisame-san."

"Hm? Oh... Shirabe-san, Kirara-san, Miria-san... Is something the matter?"

Miria: "No... but, we are curious."

Kirara: "Hisa-chi. We realized you're the one who erased our memories."

"..."

Shirabe: "We understand it was done to protect us. And we just now realize how much you have been working behind the scenes to ensure everyone's safety. It's just..."

Kirara: "Why are you doing it?"

I could sense everyone's attention to us.

Kirara: "I understand Kinako's reasoning. But you... you don't have a connection to her or Fei." 

Miria: "We don't mean to call you out it's just..."

Shirabe: "We want to understand."

I soften.

"I know. I can tell you have good intentions."

Kinako: "Hisame..."

"It's okay. Besides, I promised, no? That I would tell you everything about me."

I took a deep breath, I looked up to see everyone's eyes on me and smiled.

"As you know, I'm a Second Stage Child. So I'm from this time. This future. Despite the fear and hate, I was lucky enough to be born to loving parents. My parents... they wanted to protect me, so they hid my second-stage gene. But..." 

Fei took my hand.

Fei: "You don't have to tell us if it hurts too much."

"Thank you. But it's okay. You need to know. All of you."

I smiled before I felt it fall.

"One day, my parents took me out for a shopping trip. We were acting like a normal family, getting groceries. But then... my mother was attacked by a robber. I spotted it first, and I was frightened, but I wanted to protect her. That's when I released my powers."

I grip my drink.

"And I... couldn't control it. It was the first time I had ever used it in action. Along with my fear, it was even harder to control the pressure of my telekinesis. So I ended up... killing that robber. ... And my mother."

I whisper. I heard a few gasps but shook it off.

"I was horrified and that led to my power going berserk. I hurt everyone around me. No... the correct way to say it would be... I killed everyone around me."

I felt Fei squeeze my hand and gave him a thankful smile.

"My father... with the last of his strength, snapped me out of. He died... not long after."

A silence filled the room.

"When I came to, I had destroyed parts of the shopping center. I was filled with so much despair, that I would have even welcomed it if El Dorado came to capture me. But that didn't happen."

My lips tip up.

"My father had called someone for aid before he stopped me. She saved me. She took me away from the scene and raised me. Her name was... Kokoro Nanami."

I say softly, looking at Kinako whose eyes widen.

Kinako: "Kokoro Nanami..."

Kirara: "What is it, Kinako?"

Kinako: "She's my best friend... back in my time."

Everyone: !

I soften.
