CrazyIsCreativeWriting - Yup, time travel! Hmmm… I wonder if time travel will happen in this chapter?
(Mwa hahahahaha)
Disclaimer: I don't own it, and I never will.
"Thank you so much for letting me stay with you tonight, Haruhi-San ," I said. I can't believe everyone was so accepting of my secret… but I'm wondering why I told everyone in the first place. I've never told anyone willingly about my secret that I've only known for a few hours. Perhaps I was just so desperate for someone to pay attention to me that I forgot that my power is extremely dangerous when in the wrong care.
"It's no problem, Aika-San! I'm glad you agreed to stay with my dad and me," she said. I must admit, I felt terrible that Haruhi-San felt responsible to take care of me. After all, we only just met… and even though it pains me to say it, I can't trust her. I have no fricking clue why I told everyone. What an idiot I am.
"I must say thank you… for giving me a wake up call," she says to me.
"What are you talking about?" I say, "you're the one that rescued me off of the streets!"
She looks at me for a moment before continuing.
"At Ouran, everyone mistakes me for a guy because of my short hair and non-feminine physique."
I look at her with understanding eyes, inviting her to continue.
"I was actually going to tell Kyoya-senpai that I want to pay off my debt after college because the Host Club takes up a lot of the time that I need to study during… and because it's kinda awkward when girls send me love letters," she said.
Yeah, I could understand that.
"Well, seeing you prevented that me from telling him that I want to pay off the debt later... mainly because you gave me time to process what I was about to do. He would have charged interest and seriously make me regret that decision," she added, " what I'm trying to say is that you prevented me from making a big mistake, so thank you."
"Haruhi—
Heavy footsteps outside and organized shouting draw both of our gazes towards the door.
"EVERYONE GET ON THE GROUND!" A man shouts at Haruhi and me as a unit of eight soldiers follow suite behind him.
I panic. I instantly transformed into my air form and stand ready for battle. Years of surprise attacks have taught me to transform in a matter of milliseconds.
A round of bullets are fired at me, but I deflect each and every one of them from puncturing my skin.
"Haruhi—" I turn to my right only to see Haruhi clutching her right side in shock. She looked at me, and fell to the ground. Dead. She had taken a direct hit by a bullet. And it was my fault, all because I saved my own skin by deflecting the bullet that bounced off of me and into her.
"No! Not another…" I begin to cry, bullets showering over me as her apartment is ripped apart by the struggle.
I look at the officers to see the Ootori logo on every one of their uniforms.
"OOTORI!" I levitate, Golden swirls encompassing my every move. Anger encompassed me, making me lose all rational thoughts. I bust the door down, flying to the Ootori mansion in a burst of super sonic speed. I yell out in the front of the mansion, "Come out, you coward! How dare you send officers to capture me! Your officers killed Haruhi-San!" I yelled out. He came out and stood by the front door. Obviously he had not anticipated this kind of power, even though I did give him a demonstration. Perhaps he thought it would take longer for me to heal.
He smirked, and gestures to the cameras all around. So he did actually anticipate this.
My secret can't get out… not like this. If countries see a display of raw power, they will fight to capture it. I've already stopped one world war, I don't want to start one, instead.
I need to go back in time. This is all my fault. If I go back, I can fix this all… but I'm already weakening from the amount of power I'm using. I can only go back so far, but how far back can I truly go? If I go back a week, I'll be back in captivity. If I go back a day, I'll be in that alley. If I go back a few hours, I can go back into the hospital. So that's what I'll do. It won't be much, but I can clean up after my mistakes. It will make a huge difference in the future. That's good enough for me.
Light blue light engulfs me, and everyone in the area disappears, including myself.
Suddenly, I feel weak. The power is absolutely drained from my body, with absolutely none remaining. I went back in time a little less than a day, so I won't be able to use my powers until a little less than a day has passed. I'm technically stuck in the past…
whoosh*
I look back up to see the same clean hospital room. I startle myself… no one can ever get used to time travel.
"Aika-Chan! You're awake!" Hani-Senpai proclaims.
"Yes… I suppose I am…"
Hmmm… I'm not sure what I think about this chapter. Do you guys like it? Comment your thoughts below!
