Chapter: That's exactly why

Next day

Kaoru's P.O.V.

It's around 5 am as I laid wide awake in my bed. I couldn't stop thinking about the whole situation with Butch. At first, I could curse about it but I knew that the butterflies in my stomach weren't just something I had made up. I indeed had developed some kind of feelings for that stupid Baka and I really wanted to know the truth about it.

Bland had told me that Blast is only capable of making new memories. She cannot have given him new emotions or feelings. This is what is actually keep me up right now…Had those feelings really been there all the time and what I the world had I done to release it? If I wanted to know what Blast had imprinted in Butch his brain I needed to ask him or her about it, but both are not really an option.

Meanwhile on the other side of the city

Brick's P.O.V.

It was five am and I couldn't sleep. Thanks to Butch I had found a new drive to find my counterpart and my enthusiasm was keeping me awake. The problem now was that Dai his clue didn't count for me. Blossom her eyes were probably a little more off the spectrum than mine. It would mean that she had Orange, Pink or Purple eyes instead of red ones.

From the girls living in Townsville Tokyo, around 0.1 % had red eyes, 1% had pink or purple eyes and orange was another 4 percent of them. I looked at my small list and notice that out of the ten girls on my list, six of them had Purple eyes and four had pink eyes.

I was about to read their names again when a signal went off. Someone was caught walking on the streets and had beaten the crap out of the Gang green gang. I quickly rushed out the door and flew to the spot that was the alarm had signaled.

As I landed I recognized the gang that was scraping themselves off the ground. Blood had been spilled on the street and it made me aware that I needed to watch out. If all three puffs would come now I could not beat them. I needed my brothers with me for that.

The Ganggreen gang quickly told me the description of the person that had gotten into a fight with them and they had told me that this brown-eyed person had rushed into a nearby house. I ordered the gang to be my backup and went towards the house they mentioned.

When I found out the house they were talking about was Momoko's, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't want to arrest her but something inside of me told me to do what was necessary. I went into action and flew through the window only to spot the guy at the other side of the room.

I went after him as he rushed op the stairs. The guy eventually ran into a dead end and had to turn around to face me. He pulled out a gun as used by the resistance, the only guns that could hurt me… a little. As I wanted it all to be quick and over I now formed a blade that I threw into his chest.

Momoko's P.O.V.

When I woke up by what sounded as someone breaking in, I rushed to the hallway. As I stepped out of my room I saw movement from my right and quickly focused on the persons standing there. I was just in time to see Brick fling one of his red glowing knifes, right into the guys his chest.

I stood there shocked until Brick turned around. My now watery eyes met his harsh red ones, making him realize that I was not okay with what just had happened.

As he set a step towards me to comfort me I took a step back and ran to my room as tears came rushing out. I could hear Brick banging my door and I knew that if he was going to use his superpowers it would be easy to come in for him. At this point I wanted to be as far away from him as possible and opened my window. I couldn't climb-down but I could go onto the roof.

With a few attempts I had managed to crawl onto the roof and seated down on the shadow side in the hope Brick wouldn't find me. Unfortunately, a pair of arms that hugged me a few seconds later told me he had indeed found me.

''I'm sorry you had to see that. If it makes any difference, he isn't dead and only paralyzed for a few hours. '' I heard him say in a soft tone. For him, it had all gotten normal but I couldn't get used to the blood and gore the boys used as they took over the world. Seeing someone with a knife in his chest wasn't something I even wanted to get used to.

Brick was still rubbing my back a little as I calmed down but for the first time in two days my hatred towards him was greater than the part that liked him. To make it worse he even said something I never thought he would say.

''Momoko, It's my destiny to rule the world and punish everyone who comes in the way''

At this point anger and frustration took over. I stood up and looked down on Brick while I crossed my arms. '' and that's exactly why the two of us isn't going to work…. Your destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice Brick!''

Brick stood there speechless while I looked to the ground. I had let my anger do the talking and with it I had chosen the part that I knew could really hurt him; His likings for me….

I could see that I had indeed hurt his feelings and began to feel a little guilty as I just realized what I had done. I know that some part of me was glad I told him how I really feel about all of this, but I couldn't help but feel bad about it.

Suddenly Brick gave me a small but heartfelt smile. Something was going on in that boy his mind and although I would love to know what. I didn't get to chance to ask him as he then left without saying anything. Leaving only a red streak coloring the sky.
