Author's note:
Hi there everyone~
I don't know if you're all aware of the awesomeness that is ; 'The Unlimited- Hybōu Kyōsuke' but you should be made aware of it! It's a really good anime and manga, though I've yet to read the manga ;3;
Anyway—I don't own the characters.
All rights go to Takashi Shiina~
So, have a read of chapter one and let me know what you think yes? I'll work on the next chapter ASAP
ENJOY!
He tapped away at the machines keys mindlessly for a few moments.
Only the 'beep, beeping' of the monitors within the clinic could be heard.
He frowned to himself upon seeing the results of the cat scan before him.
Despite the morbid information he kept his usual grin ever present as he rid the data from the system before him so that none of the staff would find out he'd ever been present.
''As suspected, I haven't much time left-hopefully it'll hold off a while though-'' he muttered to himself before clicking his fingers and teleporting himself from the spot he stood returning to the 'Catastrophe' instantly.
Hybōu Kyōsuke aged 80 the highest ranking ESPer to date, with the appearance of someone barely over the age of nineteen, now found himself in the solitary, peaceful confinement of his room.
The other P.A.N.D.R.A members (leaving aside the children aboard) were probably still out and about on the town enjoying the sights before they departed and went about their next mission.
Ah—silence. It was relaxing wasn't it? Well, yes and no. Usually he'd have enjoyed the tranquillity, but not right now. What he really needed was a distraction.
He could feel it. That tingling sensation at the back of his skull, or was it tingling? It wasn't quite pain but it certainly wasn't pleasant to say in the least.
It was all well and good while he was up and about carrying out his daily tasks, but whenever he'd wish to lay down and catch forty winks, it was then that it started to act up by making him fall off into a deep unpleasant paralytic sleep state in which he couldn't even twitch his finger or call out.
On several occasions he'd stopped breathing and was definite that he'd just finally drop dead in his 'sleep' (though he didn't want this to happen since he had yet to create a peaceful world for his fellow ESPer's).
These series of sensations had manifested and began to taunt him for a couple of months now, though he'd said nothing of this to his comrades.
If he was seen to be falling ill the onset of fear would run rampant aboard the vessel.
He needed to protect the Catastrophe until the 'Queen' was to take it over then he could die happily in knowing his work was finally complete and would then have no regrets.
While the white haired male had assumed nobody had caught on to his minor dizzy spells and discomfort he was mistaken.
Magi had noticed.
The taller dark haired ESPer with the ability to control all the carbon in his body had been watching his close friend from afar, not necessarily making it too obvious but he'd noticed the little things in the silverette.
Occasional stalling, a wince.
Nothing which would make someone usually worry but this was highly unlike the 'major', who'd always been nimble, quick on his feet and full of energy with no breaks in between.
He could very well have been imagining it but no, it had happened just the other day too.
Whenever he'd bring up the topic of
'How's your health?' or 'Do you wish to call it quits for today?'
He'd always get the same stubborn response followed by a laugh.
''Heh~? Don't treat me like an old man Magi. Everything's fine.''
But it wasn't. It most definitely wasn't.
The mask Hybōu wore to hide these lies may have fooled everyone else but not him. Magi knew the other for far too long to fall for that deception.
Though in order to find out what was bothering the other he'd have to remain seemingly oblivious, otherwise the other would just take more precautions and or make up more excuses.
