Yup, I am back! So just a shameless promotion: I have just opened a Twitter account, and it is @Sophia_CCY. So if you want to follow me, please do because I will be posting some random quotes and something about my daily life.
========================================
Aira's POV
When I am back into my room freshly changed, Karma is asleep on the bed, a slight frown upon his face. Walking over to him, my heart pounds faster for a second and I reach out, gently touching his cheek.
He sighs, his hand taking mine and holds it against his chest, the frown disappearing. "You are just afraid of being alone again, right?" I whisper, and without hesitation, climb into the bed next to him, keeping my eyes on him until my eyelids grow heavy, bringing me to a deep sleep.
When I open my eyes again, the place is not my room, but a room with walls made of metal, and a heavy looking door on the side with a surveillance camera in the top right corner.
Looking behind me, I gasp when I see myself chained to the wall, my eyes filled with pain and exhaustion and cheeks sunken in, but when my hands move slightly, something seems to stab my back, causing me to wince slightly in pain.
The door opened just then, and a man with a scientist coat came in, his eyes gleaming with excitement. I kept silent, looking at him with anger.
He just moved to the side, and another man in a suit appears, a sly grin upon his scarred face as he looked at me.
"So you are the Lilac Shadow? It is such a shame for such a beauty to be an assassin." He sighed sadly, but I just kept calm, asking, "And you are their employer? I know there are many people who wants me dead, so I can understand why you are doing this to me. But why erase my memories? It is not going to help you."
"I guess telling you really makes no difference since you will be forgetting all of this soon. You see, what I hope to do, is to torture you mentally. You already ruined my entire life, and now I am going to ruin yours."
As if hearing the fury and excitement in his voice, my fists clenched and more blood flowed out from my back, giving me more pain, but my face in the dream—no, memory—just remained ice cold.
"There is someone you care about, hm? Let's see, what's his name...Akabane Karma?" He began, and my calm face immediately disappeared, rage replacing it. "Don't touch him." I growled, but he just chuckled.
"Impatient, eh? Don't worry, we won't take away your memories of him, just the memories of all your training and also the monster who destroyed 70% of the moon. That way, when I have both of you in my hands, I can just mak you suffer even more to see your love be harmed just because of you." He smiled, laughing.
My eyes immediately went crazy with bloodlust and I kept struggling against the holds, not caring about the pain on my back. "How dare you! How dare you threaten his life! You will pay for it, monster!" I half-yelled, half-sobbed in my memory, and I can feel tears streaming down my cheeks, but then pain exploded onto my back, and I fall down, screaming along with the anger-filled me.
The man just continued laughing, leaving me alone. When he finally left, the me in my memory immediately sobbed, her anger leaving and hopelessness appeared as the tears fell down, but the pain just led me back into the darkness.
Karma's POV
Hearing a scream, I quickly sit up, looking at Aira, who has tears streaming down her cheeks as she cries, curling into a ball.
Quickly pulling her into my arms, I whisper worriedly, "Aira, what's wrong? Aira?" She gasps in pain and her eyes snap open, and after looking at me, she sobs even harder, burying her face into my chest, her arms going around my waist tightly as if I am going to disappear at any moment.
"Karma, don't leave me. Don't leave me alone. I don't want you to die. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. Please don't leave me..." She wails, her anguish and sorrowful voice stabbing my heart.
Hugging her tighter, I take in a slightly shaky breath, kissing her forehead gently. "I won't ever leave you. I promise."
Hearing my words, she calms down slightly, hiccups and sobs escaping from her mouth. "It is another memory?" I said softly, and she nods. "I will tell you...about it later. But for now, I just don't...want to think about it anymore."
"Okay. Now go back to sleep. I will stay right here."
She nods again, closing her red-rimmed eyes, her breathing shaky as she slowly sinks back to sleep, her arms not loosening.
Putting my hand onto her cheek, I gently brush away the remaining tears, feeling the pain again when she pulls me closer, seeking for safety.
"I will always be here for you. Always." I whisper into her ear, closing my eyes as I tighten my arms, savoring the feeling of having her close again.
Some things really don't change.
Aira's POV
Waking up with the feeling of something around my waist, I open my eyes tiredly to find myself looking at Karma's sleeping face.
Remembering last night, I blush and tries to pull away, but his arms only tighten, pulling me closer. "Karma-kun, let go!" I exclaim, pushing him away.
He slowly opens his eyes, but after realising how close we are, he just yawns, burying his face into my neck. "Let me sleep longer. I didn't sleep well for a week." He mumbles groggily, and I suddenly feel guilty. Frowning slightly, I pull away his arms, escaping his clutches
"Even if you want to sleep, I don't have to be here. And today still has school, and we are late already."
"I don't really care. I am a genius anyway. And you need me to pretend to be sad and all heartbroken, right? So let me stay here. I will go to school tomorrow." He explains, pulling the blanket up to his eyes, his breathing slowing down to show that he is fast asleep again.
Shaking my head, I take out a set of uniform from inside the closet, changing into it quickly and take my bag. "Hey, Karma-kun...arigatō. For last night." I mumble, stopping on the side of my bed.
He pulls the blanket down, grabbing my hand. "Just promise me you will tell me about the memory later." He frowns. "I don't like seeing you like that."
Smiling, I nod. "I will tell you. But I don't have much time. Ja ne."
Rushing out of the building, I run for a bit before slowing down, a cold fury spreading through me as I remember the words of the man who did this to me.
He is going to pay for threatening me. And no one will be able to stop me.
I literally cried when writing this part! :,( If you don't want any more tears next chapter, you won't, because I will be able to get over my depression since I just found out my crush for two years likes another girl. Now I am ranting. Just ignore what I said...
