The Immortals

Chain of Memories

   It's dark. Am I dying. Again.

Lightning.

   Lightning? Who's Lightning.

Lightning

Oh yeah. I'm Lightning.

I set you free. I love you.

   I opened my eyes. It's been a while hasn't it. It's been a while since I just relaxed. The sun was shinning in my face as I basically lay in the wake of destruction. I coughed up a little bit of blood. My hair is covering half my face. I felt Keyshia next to me.

"You held back." I said not looking at her.

"I didn't want you to die." She replied laying next to me. I smiled. She actually managed to beat me.

"Well you won." I said. "Sucks that I didn't lose to a full powered attack though."

"Stop fucking with me." She said. "Had you actually had the intent to kill me. You would have won. You held back the entire fight."

   I placed my arm over my eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about." I feel like I'm forgetting someone. I sat up and looked around. I just see the Space and Time God Toki. She smiled at me. Toki walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"The short time I've known you has been a blast Lightning." She looks at Keyshia. "Take care of this idiot for me." She looks back at me again. "Good bye my sweet Lightning, you have a place by my side if you ever die again."

   I grabbed her arm.

"It was a pleasure." I said. Someone is trying to reach my thoughts.

"Are... you messing with my memories?" I asked. She sighed.

"There was no other choice, you made a deal with Abyss your soul for Hanabi's, you had to give something else up to keep your footing in this earth. Me and her spoke and decided the best for you is to erase her from your life. " She said.

"Who took my place." I asked holding my heart. Whoever it is, it's important.

"Lightning I'm trying to keep you sane. It's better if you don't know."

"And then kill myself in the process of finding out?" Tears started to roll down my eyes. "Who died Toki."

"You're connection with her was that strong?"

"Connection?..." My eyes widen. "Arisa."

"You remembered?" She looked shocked.

"Give my memories back." I said.

"Why?"

"Because you have no rights tampering with my memories." I said.

"It's all going to flood into you. I don't think you're ready." Toki said.

"I don't care. Arisawa is a part of me and had a hand in what made me who I am today, I can't remember anything related to her and I feel a giant gaping hole in my bloody heart." I said.

"Fine." She looks at Keyshia. "Take care of him." She said teleporting away. Memories started to flood back.

     "My oh my. If only there was someone who can control water nearby." I heard a voice say with a sarcastic tone say behind me. I turned around as a memory started playing around me and Keyshia, this was theee years ago.
