Infinity x The World

Heartless

(Galaxy⬆️)

"I'm sorry, Yukio! But I have to go!" I quickly blurted out as I got up and rushed out of the room.

"Huh?" Yukio mumbled in surprisement.

"Hmm? Where's Luka going?" Sora wondered.

I ignored any calls back for me! I kept running as fast as my legs would allow me too. I couldn't let Infinity get hurt like this!

I sprinted out of the school and quickly glanced both directions, determining which path to follow.

"You look troubled, Luka," Kyo told me, sitting on a bricked wall that attached to the school gate.

"You're not in class?" I asked.

"Well, I was a bit preoccupied in the nurses' office. You see, I have this sensitive area and - no matter what creature you are - if you get hit in that area then you experience unbearable pain. Capeesh?" Kyo told me in a rather unusually annoyed tone.

"Ah. Sorry about that..." I mumbled.

"*sigh* No matter. So what are you doing out of class, Miss Rose?" Asked Kyo.

Ugh. The name thing again?! Ah, whatever. That's not important right now!

"Infinity distracted me and ran off! You mentioned his gun was heavy, right? So were you saying he had a bullet in that thing?" I questioned in a hurry.

"Maybe~," Kyo told me.

"Kyo! If he has then I need to find him! Who knows what will happen! What if he tries to shoot himself again?!" I yelled.

"Lower your voice, Luka. Just calm down-" Kyo told me calmly.

"No! I won't calm down until you tell me where he is!" I shouted even louder.

Kyo sighed then jumped down from the wall.

"I don't know where he is but I saw where he went," he told me.

"Where?!" I yelled.

"Why do you care? You understand he can't die from a bullet, don't you?" He asked.

"I know! But I think the reason why he's doing it is because he wants to feel that pain of dying... or feel anything at all! Kyo, why can't he feel?! And why does he insist on doing such extreme things to try and feel the pain he knows isn't there? I don't understand! Is there really no other way?!" I mumbled.

"... you are indeed very curious, aren't you?" he muttered.

"You truly want to help him?" he asked.

"Of course!" I replied urgently.

"Well then, I won't stand in your way if you really insist on seeing what he's up to. But be warned, you may find the lengths he goes to may be slightly... distasteful," Kyo mentioned.

I looked at him strangely until Kyo lifted his arm up and pointed behind me.

"If I had to guess, I'd say pay close attention to the river in particular..." he added.

The river...?! Right! Just hold on, Infinity!

I ran down the path with all my energy.

"What a curious little creature... yes, I believe this could be very interesting indeed," Kyo told himself, watching me run into the distance.

Following the path, I ran by a river and soon ran straight passed something very alerting.

A boy in the water!
