Hello Fellow Readers!
This is my take on what will happen after the events of Charlotte. It may become too farfetched and the explanations may bore you the hell out (correction! the whole story may bore you) but this is my first try on making my own story on Fanfiction so I had to work on it for about a month for my first chapter (which is very, very long I know).
I was very unsatisfied by the way I write so I revised and revised it, and suffice to say I guess you can call me being a perfectionist about all this which I really don't mind being called seeing how I live my life that way (which mostly failed at times even though I was being way too careful and wary but you get the point!). And even though I revised it a couple of times it may suck (so this story may suck to, just saying). So ultimately prepare for very slow updates! (I will make it sure to be fast though)
Now about the characters, I will try to imitate the behavior of each character portrayed in the anime the best I can and they're interactions. Which I will warn you right now that some of the characters (seeing that I was the one who wrote my story probably all the characters, so forgive me) may become OOC or I may not include certain characters (lesser side characters) in the anime.
Yu will become OP (who will be able to do almost anything) in this story as it progresses and the explanation about how he is, will be explained in the story (which will probably and makes no sense to most of you), they may become repetitive, and mostly all of them will be according to my wonderful and over-exaggerated imagination and some grammar errors as well (English is not my native language).
The first part will be more of a slice of life story but as the story goes it will become more action and adventure-oriented. I have a lot of plans with this story, some crossovers here and there from novels and other anime alike so watch out for the randomness!
The plot may become too obvious and easy to guess what happens next, which I hope you will forgive me for and some plot holes as well. And also Yu will not lose his memories! (YAY!) but will suffer from some certain consequence that will make you think if his sane or not (HAHAHAHA!), that was an exaggeration I will not make him evil but will be... how can you say this? Um... "Violently Calm" in times of situat- is that even a word? But! Anyway... he will be more cruel but controlled in engaging combat (to truly evil people mostly), and his comedic personality will not wane. Though Takajo is a different sto- oops! Spoilers! But anyway, without anymore interruptions let us begin!
Disclaimer: I don't own Charlotte, and its characters belong to their respective owners.
Special Abilities... are one of the unknown that exists on this world even a long time ago. They mean what they sound like, powers that are supernatural in nature that is accessed by specific humans and is freely used to perform actions that are impossible in human nature and perform those so called miracles.
Those holders of those said abilities are what people called {Ability Wielders}.
These {Ability Wielders} can manipulate their powers that ranges to the simplest ability to jump higher, control objects, and to the more complicated time travels and many more abilities that are seemingly impossible to believe in.
It started from a comet called {Charlotte} that have a 75 year cycle until it spreads unknown particles on the surface of the Earth that gives people or more accurately adolescents the ability generate these kinds of powers. It is unknown where this comet originated because of the lack of information.
Those unknown particles are scattered in the atmosphere, when inhaled by these adolescents, who are more effective where they currently feel at most sensitive due to their emotions, directly affects a sector of the brain that is supposed to be dormant. The ability acquired varies from people to people depending on their emotion last experienced and will develop in time, for example a person who wants to isolate himself or herself can potentially develop an ability to become invisible whereas a person who genuinely wants to change destiny can acquire time travelling abilities they are what they called as {Carriers} who are people that have yet to develop their powers.
Now how do these abilities differ from those so called magic that people made up for entertainment purposes?
There a number of reasons why they are different from those of other supernatural-related abilities that came from story books or made up stories.
One primary example is that they are imperfect one way or another, meaning they are incomplete or maybe even spliced from another ability in order to be created making it somewhat hard to use or downright useless or can be called fragments of an original ability.
Second is that it's only temporary, meaning that it disappears in reaching adulthood like it never existed in the first place.
Another one is that {Ability Wielders} can easily activate them with the simple swipe of the hand, body gestures or instantaneous use, and it can mostly lead to exhaustion while a few others are near-death experiences, if overused or continually used. It can be compared to how a person moves his body; example is a wielder can easily activate an ability anytime that he wants like how you perform casual body movements whilst thinking of said ability.
And maybe one of the important reasons is that {Ability Wielders} are not praised or trained in using their abilities like those characters in fictional novels that used their powers for greatness...
...but they are mercilessly experimented on.
You must be asking "Why is that the case?" "Why them?" "Isn't it way too cruel?
It stems from those people that want to discover the unknown, understand strange occurrences, and downright be remembered as one of those people who made a mark on history gaining fame and wealth.
They treat those {Ability Wielders} as lab rats or guinea pigs that they cruelly experiment on no matter how inhumane the experimentation is...
...and once they lost their uses in the scientists' eyes they are expendable or like batteries that can be thrown away before buying new ones to be experimented again. While those that have proven their uses, are dissected and then disposed of.
Instead of the happy, fantasy-like experience that they were expecting...
...it turned to a dark, cold-blooded truth that they are willing to do nothing of.
But alas most of them are unaware of the dark side of humanity, and continue to abuse those powers which lead them to being captured once found out.
This is considered as a sickness to those eyes of {Ability Wielders}.
But one individual or you could say a seemingly normal teenager with a seemingly normal life who was gifted by the comet called {Charlotte}, a power or the ability that can steal the abilities of those {Ability Wielders} relieving them of their sufferings, he who stood up against the cruel system of the world and vowed to save those like himself that carries the similar sickness which he ultimately succeeded thus choosing to carry the burdens of the world on his shoulders because of a promise with a loved one that started his resolve in the first place.
That individual is recognized in the world as {The One-Eyed Grim Reaper}...
...and recognized by his friends as Yu Otosaka.
Watch him as he fearlessly face the result of carrying the burdens of those people. Saving the world was only the beginning;
With his new found abilities will he fall to greater enemies?
Will he use them wisely to triumph against the impossible odds alongside the dangerous path he will be forced into?
Can he protect those that he cares about especially the one who gave him the resolve to fight?
Will he find out more answers regarding the mysteries around {Charlotte}?
It's time for the journey of happiness, sacrifices and hardships that is about to unfold...
Operation Begin: "Charlotte: The Origins"
Operation: [Return]
Beijing, China
It was a calm night, people sleeping while the others were busy with their works the darkness encompasses the city which only gave out light from buildings as a light source...
Yu was standing on top of a building with a plain mask with one hole on the upper left section showing only his remaining left eye on his face while hiding his now noticeable matured look compared to one year ago due to time and exposure to different experiences, he was wearing a black coat with a hoodie covering his dark brown hair and dark brown eyes with a rolled up sleeve, a red undershirt, blue pants and black boots and wearing a black watch on his left wrist, he was over viewing the city trying to figure out what to do next since he successfully plundered all of the abilities in the world except Japan being the last ability he got called {Courage} from a girl who suddenly tried to protect him from a man wielding a crossbow.
He was in his thoughts while looking at a map of Japan in his hands.
Yu was still surprised that there were many {Ability Wielders} that stayed there, in his travels around the world he thought that this place has one of the highest number of people here that have abilities, easily dominating the numbers of {Ability Wielders} he saw present in most research facilities and crime syndicates. Probably because that Japan was the most safest place based on what he knows for {Ability Wielders} to stay on, it was because of his brother's good leadership and management that many children were safe from being turned to soldiers or recruits for crime syndicates which had a high risk of death when they were put in the field and also they were safe from being captured by scientists to be experimented on thus turning it into a low-death rate environment for those wielders. Then suddenly remembering what those said {Ability Wielders} experience…
...it brought an emotion of dread inside him to think that there were many young children and teens that had cruel and brutal way of living because they unluckily possess such abilities...
...yells of young children begging for their release while they suffered the 'experiments' of those so called professional scientists…
...while some he saved, there are also others who didn't make it…extreme trauma and death was only their fate.
There are also those young ones got taken away from their parents because they possess abilities which were trained into fighters and soldiers, which also were forced to join crime syndicates…
And possibly the worst of all…people who killed their own kind performing witch hunts being only the reason they were "monsters", "freaks" and "abominations" because of their abilities…even young children wasn't spared by them…
Yu can only blame himself for not being there on time so that he can save them and regretted that while in the process of saving those {Ability Wielders} he had directly and indirectly killed some people with his own hands resulting in almost losing his sanity but luckily recovering because of some certain abilities he looted from others to make himself remember that he was still human but still that doesn't mean he didn't regret his actions.
"Nii-san please save us!" "Help!" "Anyone!" a group of children running towards his direction as he was about to leap towards them, debris started to fall from the wrecked ceiling, burying th-
Yu shook his head dissolving that particular memory then sighed heavily forgetting about the past and knew that he could only look towards the future to save more children and teens from suffering further and also if possible to atone for his sins.
He proceeded continuing to observe the map in his hands before remembering the certain encounter he had earlier that completed his mission... his promise.
Earlier
Yu was now close to finishing his task, he only needs to find that last one {Ability Wielder}.
He was walking quietly when a figure was quietly running towards his direction. Leaning his head slightly to the side, he dodged a projectile that could pierce his skull if he wasn't paying attention... if he was a normal human that is. His reaction time when it comes to dodging attacks has now surpassed human limits; he had sensed that figure ages ago and was just waiting for him to appear.
A haggard man with a crossbow was running towards him keeping his distance while aiming his weapon to Yu.
"You little shit! I finally found you!" the man proceeded to laugh unaware what danger he had presented himself in. "If I turn you to the government I will be rich" the man cackled.
The Government he said, Yu chuckled. That was one of the few things in the world that Yu absolutely hated. Those corrupted fuckers were the reason why experimentations of {Ability Wielders} kept ongoing!
The government was mostly full of corrupted individuals while the good ones were few and mostly all of them are eventually tempted to greed. From his travels he observed the weak getting preyed by the strong, that was the system of most Governments. If one had higher wealth and more connections, they can trample the weak even if they're so called "justice" was truly fucked up.
This also applies to those scientists that experiments on {Ability Wielders}, interpreting them that they are in the "right" because they could discover and create new inventions fueled by using inhumane experiments.
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw a figure suddenly got in front of him. From what he could see it was a girl his violet colored hair kept on twin buns that proceeded to face the haggard man.
"What do you think you're doing!" shouted by the girl with violet hair bravely while stretching out her arms shielding Yu from the dangerous man in front of her.
"Step out of the way! You don't know who that is!" yelled by the man who tightly gripped a crossbow but shaking uncontrollably aiming it at the girl.
"It still doesn't explain why you are picking on the weak!"
"There's a large bounty on that monster's head! And I'll be straight to becoming a millionaire if I turn him in!" yelled by the man shamelessly.
"That is still wrong!" the girl countered. Yu looked on with curiosity watching the brave girl in front of him, didn't she know that-, oh...
This was the power of the ability called {Courage}. A unique yet ordinary ability that a person already had inside, just waiting for them to use it. But in terms of abilities it was the product of {Charlotte} that turns any person to a brave unyielding individual with moral codes that he/she uses as a source of braveness. It isn't just being brave or being fearless...
...{Courage} was a trait that all humanity possesses that feeds on their values and ethics to show how committed they are, thus allowing them to not feel fear against a challenge that they are currently experiencing knowing that it was the right thing to do which in turn people can be happy for. The more they believe in the right the stronger their {Courage} was.
"I warned you! Don't blame me for this!" shouted by the man before releasing the arrow which was propelled while the girl just closed her eyes preparing for the pain that was about to come while her arms was still stretched.
As the arrow travel at a fast speed, Yu quickly spun to the side before getting in front of the girl then held out his hand calmly forward catching the arrow with two fingers until he burned it from existence.
The man and the girl just stood wide eyed in surprise from the sudden action when the man suddenly felt some weight from the crossbow his carrying. Looking down he saw that the weapon his carrying was turning to the color of gold which also gained an incredible increase in weight which he suddenly let go because of the heaviness.
The man was scared out of his wits from what was happening which only added when he felt a stare, glancing at Yu, which was a bad idea, his eyes suddenly turned to the color of white before returning to the same color afterwards.
He looked around confused to only see nothing around him.
Yu who had erased the man's memory of the earlier event and the information of the {One Eyed Grim Reaper} was totally erased from his mind.
He had used an ability that can erase specific parts of memories of the target, unlike Maedomari's ability which needs direct contact and a time-consuming process; he only needed to look directly at a subjects eyes and search its memory before purging it from existence.
He had used this method as a counter to backlashes if some of the organizations that survived from his attacks decide to target him. His continuous use allowed him to adapt to its complicated process allowing him to quickly search for the specific memories he wanted efficiently.
Yu then turned around to face the girl which looked relatively calm but still cautious from his display earlier. It was understandable... no one would expect to see a human move that fast and teleport too, so her wariness is justified, Yu proceeded to approach her with a soft tone.
"You alright there?" asked Yu carefully.
The girl just nodded.
"I can't believe I get to see an ability called {Courage}, what an ironic ability that exists in this cruel and inhumane world, but..." Yu said amused.
"...you're power is a sickness that needs to be removed" said by Yu in a monotone almost as if he was used to saying these words in the process of stealing abilities before his left eye glowed lime green making the girl's eyes turned to the same color. After about 5 seconds the girl's eyes turned back into its original color.
It was his original power called {Plunder} named by Kumagami, which at first can possess someone controlling his/her own body for 5 seconds but the user also loses consciousness in those 5 seconds while he uses this ability, making it a somewhat useless ability and at first he only uses it for cheating on tests and exams. But further than that, it had the capability to steal a person's ability making it his own regarding it as the most powerful ability known. With that kind of power Yu who had been travelling the world and had been given a task of looting all the abilities to prevent scientists from claiming teens that were captured due to having abilities so that they can be experimented.
"Go now… you should leave this place" suggested by Yu.
"H-how about you?" said by the girl for the first time stuttering in her words.
"I'll be alright… you should go now" urged by Yu again.
"I-I'll call some people to let them know about you're condition okay?" said by the girl with a concerned voice despite what happened earlier before running.
Yu just looked at the disappearing figure of the girl revealing a soft smile underneath his mask before teleporting...
Present
Yu who was casually sitting on the edge of the building prepared himself for another high speed travel going to Japan. He stood up and stretched his body ready to depart but suddenly stopped when he heard a noise from the sky.
*Helicopter Noises*
{The One Eyed Grim Reaper} looked calmly towards the sky preparing for a fight and waited for the helicopter to descend if they were enemies or not. This was not the first time he had encountered this kind of occurrence. To him it was now normal seeing that some of those organizations that he crushed may have brought some of their men to target him, though the ending remains the same...
...they were completely and utterly defeated.
He always thought of why they would always use such a means for attacking. Knowing that a sufficient amount of power to pierce or impact a helicopter's defenses can always leave the helicopter crashing whilst the people in them as well, which was the same for other vehicles that holds a lot of people. Probably human persistence he concluded.
But eventually he relaxed and smiled when he recognized the young man waving towards him despite how his eyes were pale and had no light in them.
"Yu!"
Hoshinoumi Academy (Japan)
Student Council Room
Hoshinoumi Academy was a huge school that covers middle to high school education of students. A relatively normal school when you look at it in the surface, but the truth was...
...it was a place where {Ability Wielders} were found. The place acts as a refuge for these students so that they can be protected from getting captured by scientists and other crime syndicates. This was also where a group of students had been given a special mission of observing and threatening {Ability Wielders} that were abusing their powers and ones that was outside the school's protection.
Those three students were busily doing Student Council work. They were working in peace trying to finish today's task.
"Stamp...Stamp...Stamp...Stamp" the girl with white hair said whilst stamping some documents.
"Class 1-3 requests for a room to be used" said by a boy with glasses was reading a document.
"Denied" the girl promptly said shaking her head. "Tell them that unoccupied rooms are not to be used this week because of maintenance" she added while the boy just nodded before continuing on his work.
This teenager was named Takajo, a boy who has blue-gray hair with matching eyes and was wearing a pair of wire rimmed glasses. A hardcore otaku fan for a certain idol. The best way to describe him was that he was a very dangerous guy despite his appearance. Dangerous, meaning can survive an onslaught of punishment because of his sturdy body that was hidden inside his clothes and mostly naive and carefree. His former ability was called {Fast Movement}.
"The Computer Club is requesting some funds to fix some broken equipment" a girl with a side ponytail inquired.
"Acknowledged" Tomori nodded "Just tell them to use the funds wisely" she added making the girl nod in acceptance.
The doll-like youth was Yusa Kurobane, her idol name was Yusa Nishimori nicknamed Yusarin, a girl with blue eyes and long blonde hair that is tied up on the left side. She was an idol and creator of the album called "How-Low-Hello" and was often called for showbiz to work and made a name for herself in Japan. She was on the naive and curious side of the spectrum while mostly relying on her friends to guide her. Her former ability was called {Channeling}.
The white haired girl suddenly stretched her slim arms upward whilst yawning, indicating stiffness and mild exhaustion from the work.
"Well this is about done anyway, let's ditch this joint" the girl said with a straight face while her other companions just sweatdropped from the blunt statement.
This was Nao Tomori the current student council president. She was a girl with blue eyes and wavy platinum blonde hair that is tied in small twin-tails. Despite her current behavior the people around her knew she was of a somewhat asocial teenager that mostly shows a blank and cold facade in public, but when it comes to her friends she shows the fairly eccentric personality when it comes to food and her favorite band "ZHIEND". Her former ability was called {Imperfect Invisibility}.
"Now now Tomori-san, we have to finish this reports" Takajo urged.
"Too tired!" Tomori said while her head was sprawling on her desk.
"Yusa is tired too!" Nishimori agreed copying the white head.
""We'll leave it to you!"" both said giving a tired thumbs up.
Takajo who was shell-shocked from his friends passing all the work to him could only hang his head in defeat before fire emerged from his eyes.
"Let's do this!" Takajo said with a determined face rapidly organizing and stamping the remaining documents while Tomori and Nishimori just looked on in awe.
"Takajo, you can do it!" cheered Nishimori which only made Takajo to work harder.
"I can't let Yusa-san down! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin! Yusarin!" Takajo chanted enhancing his body with fanboy power(?) which was going so so well until...
"Such a turn-off!" came Tomori's retort making Takajo flinched in surprise.
A Few Minutes Later
The documents were neatly place on the side of the desk indicating that they (mostly Takajo) were done for the day. Now they were just spending their time inside the clubroom leisurely.
"Don't be a lazy-ass Takajo" Tomori nonchalantly said.
"Excuse me! Those paperworks were tiring!" said by Takajo lying on the couch panting heavily while Nishimori with a smile was fanning him.
"You're a man right? So start acting like one"
"I don't think this has to do whether you're a man or not" muttered Nishimori with a wry smile observing the argument.
When the black haired teen had started his mission, they started doing normal student council activities since then. Tomori was the who encouraged her two friends to do normal activities contrary to what they had been doing a long time ago. It was a nice change of pace just doing the standard work of the Student Council... where quarrel was constantly present (mostly Tomori and Takajo).
They were interrupted when the door of the student council room was opened.
"Ayu is here!" energetically shouted by a girl with long black hair.
This was Ayumi Otosaka, a girl with dark brown hair reaching to her waist, with most of her bangs pinned on both sides, leaving some loose hair. She was the younger sister of a certain black haired male. She was the cheerful and outgoing kind that made you smile from just seeing her. She also was a very good cook though she likes to add her certain favorite ingredient to make her dishes sweet... too sweet. She was also a former {Ability Wielder}, her former ability was called {Collapse}.
"Hello Ayumi-chan! What brings you here?" asked by Nishimori with a smile.
"Ayu thought you could use her help in your wor- wait you're already done?" wondered by Ayumi.
"Yep we all finished it" said by the platinum blonde with a warm smile seeing a certain someone's younger sister.
"You made me d-" retorted Takajo but was cut-off.
"Huh? Are you saying something?!" Tomori with a fierce glare making Takajo clamp his mouth
"I didn't even get to help you guys!" Ayumi said with a pout.
"Maybe next time Ayumi-chan" Tomori apologetically said making Ayumi nod in acceptance.
"Oh yes I have something for you guys to try!" Ayumi said enthusiastically.
"What is it Ayumi-chan?" Nishimori wondered while Tomori and Takajo were curious as well.
"Glad that you ask!" Ayumi suddenly said with a loud tone surprising the occupants in the room before she suddenly placed her backpack in the table and proceeded to get something.
The others looked curiously wondering what the certain younger sister of someone getting from her bag. Now it seems that she got a plastic rectangular shaped container and proceeded to place it on the table to show it to everyone accompanied with few spoons. Once seeing it they got pale recognizing the "substance" that was currently inside the container.
You guessed it right! It is the infamous dish that was especially made by yours truly Ayumi Otosaka! An omelette that was filled with the magnificent recipe she dubbed as the secret recipe of the Otosaka Household –the pizza sauce!
Now don't get them wrong, they loved whatever the younger sister of a certain someone made for them seeing that they had to go through many lunches eating those dishes that the sister prepared every day... since that time and the last thing they would do were to criticize her from making this type of food with the cursed secret recipe.
But they're taste buds were at stake if they can't think of something to encourage the younger sister to make something edible without that pizza sauce.
"Behold! The improved version of the Otosaka Household Omelet Rice!" Ayumi proudly said referring to the dish she prepared for the unfortunate teens.
"Um... Ayu-chan? Yusa is just curious about something..." Nishimori asked while Ayumi glance at her direction with a tilt of her head. "W-what do y-you mean by improved version?" Nishimori stuttered with slight fear in her voice.
"Oh! It just that the teacher in our Home Economic Class said that to further make a dish more delicious we needed to add something sweet to make the one who eats it come craving for more!" Ayumi said happily before continuing. "Ayu sneaked some of my secret recipe in class and added sugar, honey and some crushed bits of candy!" Ayumi said with a smile making others sweat.
"Don't you think that has too many, um... sweets?" wondered Takajo but couldn't hide the nervousness in his tone.
"Ayu thinks there is no such thing as there is too much when it comes to sweetness!" Ayumi shouted others can't help but sweatdropped thinking that those words were for something else.
"So who wants to try some of Ayu's cooking?" Ayumi said with an innocent smile but when it came to the other teens in the room they saw it as a sadistic's smile.
But not everyone had their taste buds at stake and the only one who was not scared and truly loved Ayumi's cooking and always willing to try was...
"Let me try some!" said by Tomori with delight before getting the spoon and trying some omelet happily. "This is so good~"
When Tomori tried Ayumi's special dishes mixed with the pizza sauce for the first time, suffice to say she had made it one of her favorite food in the world.
"Of course you love it" muttered Takajo but unfortunately Tomori heard it.
"You try too Takajo" Tomori said with a smirk getting the other spoon scooping some of the omelet.
"W-why me?!" Takajo retorted.
"Well, you need some sugar to fill your brain from the work you have done earlier" excused Tomori while Nishimori just wryly smiled.
"And now you admit that I did the wo-!" Takajo retorted but was cut-off again when Tomori proceeded to forcefully insert the spoon into his mouth.
When the omelet touched his tongue he crashed with an audible thud on the table muttering 'too sweet'
"So? So? So? How is it?!" Ayumi excitedly waiting for a response while Takajo just raised his hand for at thumbs up making Ayumi squeal in delight.
Time passed as they (mostly Tomori) ate the meal that Ayumi given them. Ayumi was happily watching them (mostly Tomori) with a smile on her face, until they (mostly Tomori... again) finished the meal.
"Thanks for the food" Tomori said with gratitude whilst wiping her mouth with a napkin.
"How is it Tomori-neechan?" Ayumi inquired.
"It's as delicious as ever Ayumi-chan" Tomori said with a smile that made Ayumi happy.
"Now I can cook something better for Yu-niichan when he comes home!" Ayumi enthusiastically said making a sudden change of mood inside the Student Council Room.
[Play: Kokuhaku (ANANT-GARDE-EYES/Jun Maeda) Charlotte (O.S.T)]
Talks about Yu Otosaka had been somewhat awkward when brought up; they just mostly keep it to themselves seeing a certain president was bothered slightly when someone talks about him, though she tried not to show and reply about it. And since that time Yu had started his mission, Tomori had been keeping the relationship in the Student Council stable despite some thoughts that were nagging her mind.
"Y-yeah, when he comes back" Tomori said shifting her look towards her desk making sure to not show her frown and sad expression to her self-proclaimed younger sister while Nishimori and the now standing Takajo with a solemn expression before changing it to a smile for Ayumi's sake.
"I-I'm sorry" Ayumi now noticing the mood suddenly apologized and looked towards the ground.
"It's okay Ayumi-chan, Yusa definitely thinks he will come back" Nishimori with a cheerful smile trying to change the mood while Takajo vehemently nodded his head.
Even though she said that, the others in the room knew that it was only more than a hopeful wish because it was a huge world out there and judging from those laboratories that Yu was infiltrating there could be dangerous people who guarded those kinds of place with dangerous weapons in their possession. And with all those looted power/abilities from {Ability Wielders} he took, even if he didn't get harmed or killed by scientist or other terrorists through his journey, and based from Shunsuke's scientist there was a big chance that his own powers would ultimately strain his mind from stress in carrying those abilities resulting from mental disorders or worse death.
So even if he managed to loot all the abilities in the world, his said abilities would make the chance for his arrival to drop significantly.
Shunsuke the older brother of Yu wanted to stop his younger brother from progressing through his journey to keep him safe even if he failed but whenever they try to pin point the location of the teen he just seemingly moves on to a different country or misses his arrival.
Yu had thought of a solution to keep him from being harmed by his own abilities but they didn't know that yet... but that explanation was for another time.
Ayumi who was feeling the sadden moods of the Student Council Members while her hair shadowing her eyes suddenly look to them.
"You're... not believing that he will come back right?" Ayumi said.
"No, Ayumi-chan I-" Tomori immediately countered but Ayumi continued.
"You didn't know I could see the mood until now? All of your fake expressions on display? And how all of you try to avoid discussions about my Yu-niichan?" she continued making the other members quiet. "How could you? You were his friends, didn't you even care for him..."
She was about to continue when Tomori got up from her desk and proceeded to walk towards Ayumi who could only look at her with a sadden face.
Takajo and Nishimori prepared themselves if something was going to happen but that was stopped when they saw Tomori embraced her self-proclaimed imouto. Sighing to themselves before they saw a figure leaning on the door with a grin on his face, upon looking closer and longer eventually it made them their jaws drop from shock and eyes wide in disbelief. They were about to scream, shout or anything to quell them of their surprise when the figure suddenly placed a finger on his lips indicating them to be quiet which they immediately followed.
The figure then looked towards the two that were embracing and decided to listen.
"Ayumi-chan... say everything, everything at all but..." Tomori said while her head was on Ayumi's chest. "Please don't ever say I and the others didn't care for him..." she added.
Ayumi who was wide eyed from her self-proclaimed elder sister's declaration suddenly felt shame and self-blame from the things that she said earlier without thinking.
"You know, I always think about him every time right- no, we all do. Remembering those days in the Student Council, We and specially I cherish those memories, our jokes, arguments and serious moments" she said while her face was on Ayumi's chest which made the others unable to see what her expression was. "The feeling that I had been searching for, feeling of security, bonds and connection..."
"... it was all possible because of him, that I was able to feel all of those and... the feeling of love" she said. "There's no way I'm not going to care about someone that did all those things for me" she stated. "So please, don't ever say we didn't even care for him..."
Ayumi who was now at tears cried loudly and embraced Tomori tightly.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was just being selfish and-" Ayumi cried but was silenced when she felt a touch on her lips.
Tomori who had tears as well in her eyes albeit lesser had her finger on Ayumi's lips silencing her before giving out a warm smile that made the young girl calm and rub her eyes to get rid of the tears.
"And what you said about not believing that he will come back..." Tomori said with a warm tone then smiled. "I'll only believe it when he can return no matter how long it takes"
This was her reasoning, there was a slight difference. If Yu was on his mission not here, nowhere in her side she believed that it was merely waiting. But on the other way around, she would believe her waiting was not all for naught seeing that he had done what he needed to do.
To her, it was pointless believing on someone that had a possibility of not returning... and to her, it was meaningful to believe on someone that had done everything he promised and return with a smile on his face.
Such was the reasoning she had believed. Simply put, if Yu hasn't return she would wait no matter how painful it is, but if he did return, she would believe that all those painful waiting were worth it.
And now she was never going to wait any longer and those painful waiting was going to be destroyed like an illusion.
A Certain Universe
"*Achooooo!*" a certain misfortunate boy in another universe sneezed whilst facing thugs shooting energy-based attacks in front of him while his right hand nullified them while a nun was biting his head.
"Such Misfortune!"
Original Universe
"Then I guess now you can believe in it" the figure said with a grin making Tomori and Ayumi face his direction. There they saw a boy who was sitting on the map table probably listening on their discussion.
[Play: Yake Ochinai Tsubasa (Aoi Tada) Charlotte (O.S.T)]
If it was anyone Tomori would harshly beat them up for interrupting to their heartfelt discussion. But in Tomori's mind it was all blank and unlike Ayumi who was calling out the figure's name, she was simply frozen from her tracks.
She had been waiting for the arrival of a certain browned hair male. Due to a promise between them, he was dedicated to leave and travel throughout the world to save all the {Ability Wielders}.
When they first met, he was just only a student that relied on his ability to cheat in school and they always fought over everything. But after time passed she started seeing him more of a companion and a friend during their missions in saving {Ability Wielders}.
Just a year ago she was kidnapped by crime syndicates and tried to threaten Shunsuke to give his younger brother because of his abilities. Fortunately she was saved but in exchanged for the life of Kumagami. When she heard that Yu saved him regardless of the situation, she couldn't help but feel a warm feeling inside her chest, knowing that was the first time someone cared for her that much and was willing to bet his life for someone like her, thus making her feelings for him truly genuine and more than an interest.
In his visit in her assigned room, it took all of her willpower to keep a calm face and urges to just hug him then and there while also thanking him a lot of times for caring. But when he confessed to her about how he felt, she didn't know how happy she was hearing those words from him but struggled to keep a stoic face and just replied weirdly and harshly about the confession making her cringe on the inside, then it lead to her suggesting to save all of the {Ability Wielders} by stealing all of the abilities present in the world.
She was just giving him a choice based on her understanding but was surprised that he agreed without hesitation; of course this worried her but that feeling disappeared when she saw the determination in his face. They made a promise when he looted all of the abilities in the world he would return to her not just an acquaintance, colleague or friend but as a lover which she was glad and happy to accept.
She patiently waited for his arrival, for his presence and warmth she felt when he was beside him that day. Sometimes she couldn't help but feel a sense of worry or if her idea that day would lead to his harm or worse death especially when she got word from his brother that he was unable to communicate with him. But when she heard of news that a masked individual named {The One Eyed Grim Reaper} was raiding research facilities and stealing the patients' abilities, she didn't know if she felt delighted that he was alive and well or feel worry that he was a target by crime syndicates.
She still regretted the fact that she was unable to say her true feelings for him back then when he left because of the fear of the possible chance that he may not come back.
Now those feelings of uncertainty and anxiousness when she thought he may never come back disintegrated from her mind seeing him here...
...because now the teen that she was waiting for... was just in front of her.
Yu who had a grin on her face was waving towards his dumbstruck lover
Even though his clothes were tattered and his hair was longer or messier than what they last saw it. It was her lover who had been in a dangerous mission all this time.
Tomori proceeded to do what her mind could only think of... getting in front of the smiling teen she held her fist back before...
"PUNCH!" Tomori said launching a punch towards his face making him stumble and fell on his butt.
"Hey watch it!" Yu retorted surprised from her reaction.
"Straight act" Tomori said with her arms on her back accompanied with a smile
"What the hell are you straightening?!" Yu shouted back reflexively.
"Your funny act" Tomori answered whilst looking at Yu.
"But I'm not acting funny!" Yu replied loudly before blinking then realizing that this scene was very very familiar if Tomori's thoughtful face was any indication.
Snapping from his thoughts with a sigh he proceeded to get up to only be sent down again, now lying on his back.
"*Oooof!*"
He groaned not expecting the sudden action and looked whoever was lying above him. But was surprised when it was Tomori who held him in a tight embrace. Yu was expecting that Ayumi was the one who would first embrace him due to her personality, but never expected the platinum blonde head to show such affections…not that he hated it.
Yu just lay there quietly before sitting up not separating from the girl who was now on his lap while Tomori buried her face on his chest proceeding to lightly punch his stomach with her hands now turned fists.
Until the punches became stronger and quicker making him grunt in pain from the sudden assaults.
"T-Tomori I know you *Ow!* miss me and all *Ow!* but can you-" tried to reason out Yu but was stopped when Tomori lifted her face from her chest showing her glare that made Yu shut up before proceeding punch his stomach even harder.
Yu was now reduced to a punching bag receiving punches from a girl that was forgetting to maintain her cool, throwing it out of the window.
Until it stopped before she placed her head again on his chest not allowing to show her current expression. While Yu who was glad that Tomori stopped he just sighed before a sudden force from his back made him lean forward and feel something soft on his lips.
Upon looking further Yu was surprised to see Tomori with her eyes closed while her arms was around his neck locking her lips awkwardly with his own showing that it was her first time doing such an act. The same thing can be said for Yu who just froze there not expecting such an action coming from the girl that would prefer using her fists to reason with others.
Yu had never thought that Tomori's lips were so soft contrary to what he remembered from her behavior.
The exchange lasted for about a minute until both lovers separated their lips, looking at each other.
Until both of them smiled and Yu concluded that it was the most beautiful thing that he saw. While each of them took this the chance to observe the changes that befell the black haired/white haired teen.
His black hair was slightly longer, his face has now a look of maturity present in them while his scarred eye remained untouched and of course she could feel the slightly toned muscles that were pressing against her from the embrace guessing that it was from workouts that he had done.
Her long platinum flowing blond hair was kept in short twin pig tails just as he remembered, her slim body size was well maintained (knowing that she could get too excited when it comes to food) and he could feel that her bust size increased as well that he was currently feeling which he tried to ignore for the time being.
"Hey there…" said by Yu smiling whilst blushing from the awkward kiss earlier while Tomori was in her embrace.
"Hey…" said by Tomori smiling also equally blushing before resting her head in his comfortable chest.
Yu then lifted both of them up using {Telekinesis} and was now standing once again but Tomori was still hugging him tightly as if afraid of letting him go in a journey again.
Seeing them stand up the spectators who were still startled snapped out of their stunned state and approached the couple.
""Welcome back Otosaka/Otosaka-san!"" greeted Takajo and Nishimori with bright smiles on their faces glad that their friend was alive and well.
"Yu-niichan! Ayu is glad that you're back!" greeted by Ayumi was immensely happy to see her elder brother well who hugged him as well but not to the point of making his back meet the floor.
Tomori reluctantly let go of the embrace to give a chance for Ayumi to embrace his brother then suddenly realized what she has done due to not keeping her emotions in check before blushing madly and putting both of her hands in her cheek due to embarrassment and turning her face away from Yu.
Yu who've seen this gave out a chuckle before getting out of his younger sister's embrace albeit difficultly.
"So how have you all been?" Yu said with a grin making the other occupants smile he was about to add something but was interrupted when...
"PUNCH!"
And punch... I mean cut!
Hmmm... that was horr- *Ahem* I'll let you guys decide what you think in the reviews!
(Edit: I edited some stuff, just so you know)
I only did this story to satisfy my desire to see what could have happen after the events of Charlotte based on my imagination because I felt it was kinda, um... unsatisfying to me. So I do not care if you flame me as I update my story here or even give harsh commentary your call and I will not reply to your questions because... just because.
I merely have done it for my own will, and finding out about fanfiction made that urge to grow. Seeing users write their own story made my interest piqued. And suffice to say, when I started writing (typing)... it allowed me to bring out stress and help me relax a bit. I have other stories that I have created and will be posting them as well (Though I will fix them a wee bit). So you can call me an asshole or something from what you think about my inner thoughts your call.
And that's it I guess! And wait for the next chapter of Charlotte The Origins!
