Chapter 03: Cycle

I know what I am, So don't say you know what I'm made of!


"Haha...Haha...Haha...Haha"Marcus laughed

"Where is she?!" I demanded

"The match is only starting Zero!"Marcus said as he got on his feet.

Marcus.

"Come on! Show me what you got!" Marcus shouted

I grabbed my shield with my left hand and threw it at him, with all I got. He dodged it but I called my shield right back with the magnetic force to hit his back hard.

"AH!" He cried as he fell to the floor.

I stomped my left foot quickly on the wet road to shock him. The elecrtic currents traveled from my foot and spread out through the bridge and Marcus' body.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" He screamed in agony as he got shocked by electricity.

I kept my foot firm on the wet road and called my shield back from the floor.

It attached to my gauntlet and I stopped electrocuting him. I looked at him struggling to get up from that attack, parts of his shirt was dirtied as well.

Then he vanished...

Where the hell did run off to?! Damn, how can he still run after all my attacks?!

I held my ground and looked around my surroundings.

Out of nowhere I felt a surging pain in my stomach. What the? Marcus punched me in the stomach. I was thrown off from the amount of force he placed on that punch of his. He threw me off the ground but I landed on my feet. I held my stomach due to the immense pain I was feeling.

"Hah! That's all you got! Your cheap tricks won't work against me Zero!" Marcus exclaimed

I grit my teeth, wondering what I'm suppose to do next. I'm quite rusty, I haven't had a real fight in a long time. Damn It!

I decided to go all out on him. I sprinted directly at Marcus and threw a punch to his face. Marcus ducked and returned a punch, right at my face. The sheer amount of power placed on that punch sent me straight to the floor, lying face up. Raindrops fell on face and traveled to the road floor. I felt weak, the inablity to fight back. I've wasted majority of my energy on the offensive. I don't have much left in the tank at all.

"This all you got?" Marcus asked

I could barely see anything, my vision is so hazy, but I knew I can't lose here. I rolled to my side and struggled to get up. I could feel the roaring pain travel thorughout my body. Just standing up alone is such a burden. I planted my feet below me to get the balance I need. I looked Marcus straight in the eye, and all I got was a smirk.

"Zero... I think you're gonna lose this match you know. I guess I should think what I should do with that Girl."

I hated every word he said.

We fought for hours, it seemed endless. I tried to fugure out his pattern, while tried to avoid every tactic I attempt. Going on the offsensive, then back on the defensive. It felt like a cycle, going around and around.

Now we were just a few feet away from each other. We both breathed heavily due the amount of exhaustion we were making our bodies go through.

Marcus admitted defeat "This is all I can do, a level three bested by a level zero"

I walked over to Marcus

"This is what I get for not practicing" Marcus muttured to himself

Now I was just a few feet away from Marcus, I'm pissed because of what he did but at the same time confused.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?" I asked

"I admit defeat, you win." Marcus replied

I clenched my fist and grabbed Marcus by his collar. I looked him straight in the eye.

"Where is she?" I asked once more

"She's safe... In a warehouse... not far from here." Marcus muttered.


8: 15PM, District 23, Forest

I ran up the endless slope. She's gotta be there! I pushed my body to it's limits. I could feel my throat dry up and sweat all over my body. My body slowly started to give in, not allowing to move any further. I struggled running, climbing, jumping, a labor it was. Yet, I must keep going!

I fought the trees and leaves, pushing them to clear my path. Step by step, I believe I could see something. A wooden building.

"Is that it?" I said

I ran inside breaking the front door. To my surprise, she was just sitting there. She was unharmed. I breathed a sigh of relief and place my hands on my knees.

I'm so tired!

"You're late! I can't stay here any longer or I... I..." She struggled in place, shivering in fact

I looked up at her, nothing changed, her indigo- eyes and her -chocolate brown- hair still got me.

"Okay." I said

"Hurry up idiot! I-I... I can't... Hold it any longer" She quietly spoke

"Hold what exactly?" I asked

"Shut up and just get me out of here!" She demanded


9: 00PM, District 7, Streets

I walked with her following behind me. What happened today was all because of her.

I sighed.

"So you said it was around here, right?" I asked

Her legs still trembling from holding it in "Y-yeah. I live in an apartment."

"Hmmm... the only apartment complex here would be..." I lost my words

Wait doesn't that mean.

We both stood in front of the very apartment complex I live in.

"This is my place... I gotta go!" She left without saying goodbye

I watched her run up the stairs and her apartment door. She seemed unable to open her door.

"No... I-I... Can't hold it any longer..." She drops on the floor and formed a fetal position

What the hell is she doing?

I walked up the stairs and stood at her side.

"What is it?" I asked

"Are you dense...? I need to pee... I can't hold it any longer..." She tried forming her words but it was difficult for her.

I scratched the back of my head and opened my apartment door.

"Hurry it up." I geustured to my apartment.

She stood up immediately and ran at the speed of sound in order to relieve herself in his bathroom

"Heaven at last!" She screamed in delight.

I closed the door as soon as she entered. She ran to the bathroom, to relieve herself of holding it for too long.

Marcus. I sat down on a chair, pondering what it was all about. If his actions were really worth it. I clenched my fists just thinking about it.

"Tsk."

I'm exhausted

Just going to sleep was on my mind, however I have a guest tonight. She walked out holding on to her stomach, she had a gleeful expression after finally relieving herself. She walked to me and held my shoulders.

Huh?

"You're not bad, but you're still not as chivalrious and punctual. I expect that you handle my problem tomorrow." She said

It felt good for some reason. It was relaxing... I started to drift into sleep... My eyes closed... My head fell back to her breasts.

She jumped in place "Wh-what are you-" Once she saw my sleeping, she sighed but also blushed

"I guess... I have to take care of him..."

-Flashback- Two Years Ago 'Taisuke Yukinaga', Room 405 4: 30 PM

"Onii-Chan!" Yukinaga said cheerfully

"What is it?" I asked

She started shaking the box in a rather cute manner.

"I can't open it" She pouted

"Hahaha" I let out a laugh

"Ah, don't laugh Onii-Chan" She pouted even more

"I get... Okay" I said and extended my hand towards my sister

What is it that I really yearn for?
