Fear looked at the raven haired teacher. Dark blue eyes widened as the teen moved away screaming," STOP I BEG OF YOU! DON'T HURT ME! IT'S THEIR FAULT!" Zero spoke calmly to the hysteric teen with concern," Who is going hurt you?" Hazel eyes were consumed with fear and paranoia. "They are," he answered before blood started dripping from his left arm. The hero screamed in panic as it fell to the ground making the raven more aware.
Dark blue eyes scanned the area around them waiting for an attack while Shizou, once a brave hero, screamed like a scared child. Annoyed, the teacher ripped a part of his white lab coat and tried to bind Shizou's wound. "Don't worry, kid," he tried to assure the other before footsteps echoed behind him.
Zero turned still deathly calm to the enemy seeing a woman with long black hair and wild violet eyes appear happily. "So this is one of Xio's great heros eh? P-a-t-h-e-t-i-c," her voice sang around them like nails on a chalkboard. The blonde teen attempted to run away only making it a few feet before turning into a fountain of red liquid.
Dark blue eyes watched horrified at what was left of the teen. Silence. His mind filled with chaos of screams telling him to run and others telling him to hack her to pieces. Zero breathed knowing the consequences of the first choice and picked up a pipe that happened to be near them. Body and mind slowly began to calm remember earlier training and fights he once participated in. "Come," the raven ordered preparing to fight.
A laugh rang out of the black haired woman's lips. "Brave, aren't we," she taunted pulling out a purple and white sword out of a sheath on her left side. "Let's begin then." Swish. Dark blue eyes blinked seeing her face only centimeters from his but didn't hesitate to strike her with the pipe. She skidded a good distance from him, her sword falling to the ground away from her. "Weak, aren't you," Zero said noticing some blood on his pipe.
He heard noise nearby and prepared for another enemy only to see Toshi running towards them alarmed with some more heroes in tow. They swarmed him with questions after seeing their comrad dead and shredded to pieces and the villain knock out. Zero explained to them most of it aside from him being the one who knock her out. Some more people soon came after and he had to sneak away from all the crowds and paparazzi that followed.
Once a good bit away he sighed leaning on the side of a building tired from all the running. "Damn, never thought any of that would come in handy after all this time," he mused to himself quietly watching people around him in their own lives. A memory flashed through his head.
Blood cover most of the floor of a very large room that had no windows and only one door. A voice bellowed from above happily," Only two left. Whoever wins will see the sun again." The voice belongs to the queen who was sitting above in a small box with a throne. Her curled red hair put up with ribbons into two pigtails. Dark blue eyes looked away from her to a boy around his age of nine tiredly. Dead bodies of the others lay out. "Why?" questioned the other boy who had once bright green eyes and now bloody blonde hair. "I don't want to kill anyone. I don't want to hurt you."
The young Zero laughed at that. "Then you wouldn't be alive," he commented clenching his bare bloody fist.
Another sigh slipped from the raven teacher's lips sadly. "How come I'm the only one who has to remember?" Zero asked looking up to the now darkening sky. His body shivered remembering the memory fondly. He walked back home gritting his teeth to stop the feelings clawing inside of him. "It's over," he reminded himself opening the front door to his small three roomed apartment. The living room was dark and held only a small brown coffee table, blue old couch, and TV. Zero settled on his couch turning on the TV to the news after locking his front door again.
Crime rate seemed to rise in the eastern part of the city where he lived. A happy woman appeared on TV broadcasting some new band along with another report on the heroes' arrival to their city. "It seems they have come just in time for the festival of moonlight that will be held in three days," she announced with excitement.
The raven turned it off annoyed now. He walked to his bedroom that contained a single queen sized bed with black covers and two blue pillows. Sitting on it tiredly, Zero thought again of the past.
A hand ran itself through black hair fondly while a whisper teased his right ear playfully," I can't wait for you to get older." The Zero then smiled looking at the older man he was laying on top of. "Does that mean that I will get to still serve you and Cheshire, Mad hatter?" he asked curiously. Dangerous black eyes looked into blue as the man pulled one of Zero hand through his long green hair. "Maybe, little faceless. Who knows what Bunny will tell," the noble mused.
Zero shook himself from the memory. "Fuck. Why am I so reminiscent today?" the raven questioned himself laying down hoping not to remember anything else.
