The Spirit of Rebellion

The Cafe

<3rd Person P.O.V>

Slowly and groggily Akira opened his eyes his vision blurry before finally focusing on the ceiling above him. He was in a room with a little light coming in from the crack in the curtains of the single window. As he looked around the room he noticed it was plain and clean, yet similar to the one he saw in his memories with an empty bookshelf, a plant next to it, a couch on the other side with what apears to be a work table for crafts next to it, and a small t.v with a game console, and dvd player off to the side. As he got up he noticed his clothes were different he was now wearing a pair of sweatpants and a black long sleeved shirt, and his glasses were on a desk he didn't notice next to his bed side. He got up and stretched before walking cautiously towards the door, before it burst open. Standing behind the door was Kuro with a blank expression and now wearing what look like black skinny jeans, a white shirt and an open black button up shirt with the sleeves slightly rolled up. Akira stared and got in a defensive stance before Kuro simply walked towards him before turning towards the window ,completely ignoring Akira, and opening the curtain. Akira was blinded momentarily as Kuro walked back toward the door before pausing and saying "you recovered faster than we thought you would... well since you are awake good morning... I guess. Now get dressed and come help downstairs you lazy oaf." Akira was too stunned and couldn't get a word out as the little boy walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

Finally snapping out of his stupor Akira walked toward the small dresser he also surprisingly didn't see, and looked inside and noticed a lot of clothes. He stared for a second thinking about the fact that he didn't buy or bring any clothes with him yet most of it he saw in his memories and some were new. Reguardles he quickly got dressed into blue jeans, a white shirt and a black coat over it as well as brown boots, he grabbed his glasses and walked out of the door and into the hall. From what Akira noticed it was the hall he saw the day before and he just walked out of the room in the back left of the hall. He contemplated on what happened before deciding he needed answers and rushes toward the stairs and goes down to see Kuro in the kitchen kneading dough, while kurumi was chopping vegetables and sorting them into containers.

Akira silently walked into the kitchen and stood there contemplating on how to go about asking these two unpredictable and potentially dangerous people what exactly happened and why they did what they did. Before he could say anything though it appeared Kurumi was finished as she turned around to put the containers in the fridge, which Akira was leaning against. Kurumi didn't look surprised in fact she looked amused and simply said "ara ara good morning Akira-san, do you mind opening the door for little old me?" Akira blinked and simply pulled open the door to the walk in fridge before Kurumi simply stepped in put the containers down and walked back out before looking at Akira and saying "Thank you so much, ever the gentleman no? Now then tell me what I can help you with Akira-san." Akira simply followed her as she walked out of the kitchen and into the bar like area but for coffee. Akira sighed knowing she was messing with him before saying "why?" Kurumi simply tilted her head slightly and looked at him in confusion. Akira stared at her a little longer before elaborating "why did you give me back my memories, why are you helping me?... what are we?" Kurumi simply smirked and replied "Akira-san you should know why I gave your memories back, as for why we are helping you... simple we would like you to join us, and as for what we are you should already know... after all you read the documents you got from Ratatoskr didn't you?" Akira stayed silent as he thought back to the note he remembered in his bag from this L person, and how it stated he can never go back. He also already knew what they were he just didn't want to accept it, he also now knew why they were helping him. Akira however still didn't know what Kurumi meant by him knowing why he gave back his memories, suddenly he remembered what he read in the report on spirits from Ratatoskr "The spirits appear to have no recollection of their past or before they became spirits, they also seem to have no recollection of how they became spirits. Information supplied from the study of Efreet." Akira looked at Kurumi who now had a sad smile on her face as she simply nodded answering his question before it was asked the answer:
