A different perspective

Every angel has a devilish side. Some are just more prominent than the others. Have a peek into the distinctive mindset of Ashley, when she is not just any other normal duras. I do not own Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru. Re-edited.

Scorching

As she stares at the man before her, her mind reeled in shocked.

"NO YOU'RE NOT THE ONE!" She screeched in anger and frustration. " IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR PARTNER! DAMN IT!"

So it's not his handkerchief, Ashley reasoned. She had miscalculated. Badly. Ashley tied Shusei Usui against the cross to prevent him from retaliating. She paces back and forth across the mansion she created. She was so close to getting back at him, for all the hurt, grief and loneliness he had inflicted upon her. Her eyes were blinded by her tears as her rage continues to built up inside her. It was him. He stripped away her hope to live and caused her to descend into dark madness. It was him. Renjou Hotsuma. Ashley let out a ear piercing shriek that shook the very core of the whole mansion before she broke down in uncontrollable sobs.

"SIS! HELP!" The piercing scream of a young boy, filled with excruciating pain, sound through the air. Panic shot through Ashley as she run towards her younger brother that was writhing on the ground. She felt her arms burned as she kneel down beside her brother. Kids were wailing and scattering apart while she tries her best to put out the fire that was engulfing the young boy. Absolute terror and devastation overwhelmed her as her brother thrashed about in pure agony before spreading still on the ground. The sirens of fire engines were ringing somewhere far away. People were calling out to her at a distance. Their voices seem so far away. She reached out to her brother and turned his body to face her as the hungry flames licked her arms. That was when time stops for Ashley. It was as though she was falling through a bottomless black hole. She felt numb. A pair of eyes filled with silent plea was staring at her. That was the only recognizable feature of the limp form on the ground. She will never forget the disfigured face of the sprawled out form of her brother.

Ever.

Ashley glared at her captive. There's no point hurting him. She strides towards him, lift his chin up and looked directly into his eyes.

" You will bring me Renjou Hotsuma, the one who loves to set people on fire."

Unknown to Ashley, Shusei has seen all her emotions with his God's eyes.
