A/N: My first one-shot! Please R&R! And if you think he's out of character...well deal with it. Think of it as his soft side. That is if he has one X3 Kanero16 does not own -Man
Divine Lotus
Gunshots fired all around the once peaceful village. Nothing was visible in the pitch black sky except for the random flashes of purple. I pulled out my sword, Mugen, and readied for the soon to be battle. I couldn't help but think, what am I fighting for? Who am I fighting for? But I knew the answer to that. The one person from my vague memories, the face I can barely see now. "That person" is the one I'm fighting for.
The level one akuma were a joke to me. I could take them down in a matter of minutes but did I want to? After all…I was killed by an akuma, I think. My memories are so unclear that I can barely think about them without making my head hurt. Nine years ago those stupid scientists tried to make me their puppet and experiment. And Alma, he probably suffered the most. Everything he did for me and I gave him nothing in return. I feel like such an idiot but for now I should think about what is here in the present.
After destroying the last of the akuma I stood back and watched the sun rise in the East. And standing there made me realize, I'm fighting for more than just "that person" or maybe even Alma. I'm fighting for someone beyond them. Searching and fighting and bleeding for someone important. After the sun heated and lit the Earth I then realized that I was working to find my divine lotus.
