Colors of the Universe : Indigo (宇宙の色 Book I)

《Chapter 16 : Kurushimu Family》

TENSHI'S POV

The battlefield was empty. I was the only one standing. Another dream? 
I noticed a pattern, whenever Aito is beside me... I don't get any dreams at all. 
What was in this "dream" this time?

As I walk around the forest, I tried to look for someone, anyone. This forest doesn't look familiar either... is this in a hidden place somewhere in Japan? 

I saw a hut hidden within the deep parts of the forest. I peeked in, no one was home. 
There was a kitchen, living room, and one bedroom. As I enter the room, there was a table with a picture on beside the door. There was a happy couple in the picture. A white haired man with a blonde haired woman. I wonder who they were? 

Nothing was interesting, really. It was just a normal house or... hut. Well... it wasn't interesting until I saw a small box hidden at the backside of the bedroom's cabinet. It was a small box with a paper attached on it... "For Kaori" was written on it. As I opened the box, there was a ring with a red gem on the middle. They aren't married... or at least... weren't able to. I walked outside then slipped and that woke me up. 

Someone was knocking on my door.
"Tenshi! Tenshiiii!!!" Kakusareta shouting
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" I shouted while I hurry towards the door to answer Kakusareta

As I open the door, Kakusareta and the whole Team was there.

"YOU WOKE UP JUST NOW!??!" Kakusareta shouted
"W-wha why?" I asked, confused
"It's 5pm in the afternoon what do you mean why?" Owari said
"Oh... oopssieee" I said, laughing awkwardly
"Anyways, about Aito. We looked around his room and there was this letter that has your name on it" Kakusareta said while handing me the letter
"Maybe it'll have a clue of where Aito is" Ki said
"We'll wait for you, you can have some privacy about that" Kakusareta said as they walk away and wait in the lobby of the Academy. 

I opened the letter with my name on. This isn't Aito's handwriting...

"To Tenshi Kurushimu, I just wanted to let you know that Aito Aida is with me, in a hut somewhere in the Sakerarenai forest. Don't worry, you'll find it. Just head East from the Ancient Slabs then you'll get there. Come here tonight. Oh and no one from the Sakerarenais know about this so should your side. I would like to have a friendly meet up with you, if that is what you call it. From Keichiro"

Its him... and he wants a "friendly conversation" yet he has a hostage so I'd really go. The meetup was supposed to be yesterday night but we haven't seen the letter yet by that time... what a mess... and I can't tell anyone about this. Shit.

As I went outside and my Team questions me what was in the letter, I told them it was just a "Thank you" letter from Aito and everything on it was personal so I couldn't show them. The Team was disappointed because they were really looking for clues on where Aito might be but there is nothing at all leading to him. Keichiro is smooth. 

As I was getting ready, I wondered if I should really go because... I cant just trust a Sakerarenai right away. Either way, I have no choice because I have a feeling he will do something to Aito if I do tell someone. Owari used to be connected with Keichiro's Anareshi so there might be a chance he'll know if I tell them. 

I headed to the Sakerarenai forest secretly to go to the hut he was talking about. I used the excuse "I'm going to the Ancient Store" so they'll allow me to go out. This was pretty coincidental since this was literally my dream just a while ago but way different. Funny.
