Darkened Path

Chapter 8

"Look what he did to you!"

"Calm down, Atsuya! He have a reason for doing it and I have a feeling that you know it."

"What do you mean, nii-san?"

"He's doing this to prevent us from disappearing in the real world."

No words came out of Atsuya's mouth and Shirou saw guilt in his eyes. He stepped forward and hugged his younger twin who began sobbing.

"I-I didn't know that it's actually n-near.. I thought we could be at the last place before that happened but.. B-but I saw your body. Some of it glitches, some of it were blurred. I thought he wants us to stay here so he can play with us but.. But I was wrong.."

"Don't worry, Atsuya. He actually understands why you're acting that way towards him. He told me before controlling my body."

"But what will happen now?"

"We continue our way and trust him to do his work properly."

~•~•~•~

"F-Fubuki?!"

"Hey guys.."

The players started to run towards the gray haired boy, hugging him tightly that Kidou started to scold them.

"He just woke up, he might feel pain somewhere if you keep on hugging him tight! Especially you Hiroto and Aphrodi!"

"S-sorry.."

Fubuki could only laugh, making the others smile after hearing his laugh again. They gave him breakfast which they quickly bought outside, since the hospital foods aren't their type. Secrets are finally revealed, the first one was the secret relationship between Nagumo and Suzuno which made Fubuki squealed like a fangirl.

"Finally! Who confessed first?!" He asked excitedly.

"Him." Suzuno pointed his index finger to his tulip head boyfriend, who pouted in embarassment.

"KYAAAAHHH!! I knew the both of you will be together! Where's my 500 yen, Hiroto?"

"Tch! Fine fine.."

The team laughed at how the two made a deal, a fuming redhead and gray haired glaring at Hiroto since they can't get mad at our smol cinnamon roll.

Hours have passed and the sun was about to set, the doctors were informed about Fubuki already awake and he can be released the next day after tomorrow since they need to check him up. The team still wasn't assured enough, leaving Kazemaru and Endou to guard him. He was about to complain like how Atsuya does but remembered his mission, making him just smile and agreed. He ate dinner and chatted with the two and fell asleep after. Kazemaru and Endou fell asleep too, the TV was still on and in the channel where Fidio and the others are in as they play soccer.

Back to the twins, they were still walking towards the kingdom enduring the coldness they're feeling. Even though they grew up in a cold place, that doesn't mean they can live in such cold. They faced the high gates, looking at it with widen eyes.

"How can we go inside?" Shirou questioned.

"I don't actually know. If what I'm thinking is possible--- WAH!"

Atsuya pressed his hand to a wall and trip forward to get passed on it. They are after all spirits, they can pass through the walls.
