The Vessel of the Angels
CHAPTER 1
Kimizuki Mirai's POV
The air was warm and thick in the odor of soup; my hands were sweaty and breathing felt painful. My brother, Shiho, was in the kitchen trying to make me
my favorite tomato soup and as I watched His back which had grown so wide and strong I felt a pummeling in my throat heart separate from my heart palpitations.
I looked at my hands; the tiny hands that could never be of use to him in fact the marks on these hands, proof of the apocalypse disease, hindered the only one I
wish to protect. Am I a burden? He had even asked his superior if a doctor from the military could occasionally visit free of charge so I pondered time and again
whether I was a bother. I thought about what I could do to reciprocate his hard work while staring intensely at his wide strong back. Soon the soup was ready and
brother approached me, sat on the floor and fed me the soup. His kind eyes looked at me anxiously while glaring at the hideous marks of the disease. "Here open
wide." He said with a soothing voice. He blew on the soup slowly and fed me. While my mouth was full he said "Mirai, I'm gonna do everything in my power to get
you the cure to this disease." He said. The way he spoke the words 'apocalypse disease' was terrifying. Is aw his blood lust yet this did not feel new as I felt the
same. The vampires were the ones who took away my ability to support my family. The vampires snatched my chance to support and not be a burden for my brother.
I, too, possessed a blood lust one that perhaps surpassed my brother's. I glared at the soup with a soliloquy. "Vampires" I said under my breath. However before my
brother could confirm what I said, I asked him about school. At first he talked about how it was boring and how he was the most qualified, then he slowed down and
talked about his partner Yuu whom he talked about with such zeal that one would think he was brother's best friend. I suppose they were best friends only brother
was yet to be aware of that. What I saw in brother's eyes when he talked about Yuu was something I had never seen before; a fiery competitiveness that burned at
his core. Seeing this part of my brother made me want to thank this Yuu.
A few days later, brother came back with scars on his arms and legs but wearing a shining black and green uniform. His body must be so worn out, I thought. He
entered my bedroom with a huge grin on his face one that reminded me of our life before the apocalypse. With swords on his back he leaped to my bed, carried
me and spun me around. I felt light and seeing his smile I felt relieved. He then put me on the bed and said that I was being transferred to the military hospital to be
cured. He patted my head, caressed my cheek and looked at me with the hope I thought he had lost. What would I do without you? I thought. I froze. Does that
mean that I want to be dependent on him? Does that mean that I am the one who is stealing his freedom? Does that mean that if I receive the cure he will not stay
by my side? Will he leave me when he no longer has an obligation to me? Is taking care of me an obligation? I have to be with the only family I have left. That is my
one truth. I may contradict myself, but the only thing left to do once I have recovered is to be strong enough to protect my brother and all those that have brought us
misery, like those vampires.
