A fragment of star...
The comet was a star...
A piece was inside... him...
A fragment of star... inside him...
Could this be any more crazy?!
Yuki didn't asked for this! He just wanted to buy some comic books that his sister probably had already read, and those freaking strawberry cupcakes that his grandfather probably won't let him eat, but as always; Madoka and him would sneak some behind their backs without their grampa noticing, but then being called by him to give back those pink pastries that they are not allowed to eat after 10:00 pm, only to find out that his twin sister sneaked some cupcakes into their room before and eat them while talking about stupid things that they won't even care about the next day!
That's how the rest of his night was supposed to go to, not being kidnapped by this... this cat-girl! What the heck was he supposed to do now? He was trying to get off her grip but she was really strong.
"Look little pup"-said his kidnapper by the moment she stopped by stepping on the tip of something that looked like a church
Man, this girl was really good at maintaining her balance.
"I know this is a bit scary, but if you don't struggle and don't make any noise; I'll make sure they won't hurt you"-she said with a lot of honesty in her voice
Yuki honestly doesn't care if she is telling the truth or not, he is not letting her taking him to whatever place she want to take him.
"I don't want to go!"-screamed the boy at the same time he kicked the cat-girl's head and used his free hand to push her
He probably shouldn't have done that.
Because the surface she was stepping on was really tiny, she ended up slipping and losing her grab on the guy she just kidnapped.
Yuki was going to die...
He was for sure going to die!
"Hang on!"-
The moment he heard that voice, Yuki opened his eyes and saw that his kidnapper, with a rope tied on her waist, was falling in his direction. He did what he could and extended his hand, so he could take hers. It was too far away, he didn't know if he could reach her.
He had to reach her...
If he could just stretch far enough...
Yuki looked down and saw that he was too close to the ground, he screamed and closed his eyes. He just could brace himself for the impact.
But it never came.
Yuki could feel as if something wrapped his hand and stopped his fall, just a moment before he landed. He never felt this kind of relief before, he was alive; this stranger just saved his life and he was so glad for it.
Except that it wasn't entirely true...
The moment he looked up, the blue-eyed boy noticed that it wasn't a hand what was holding him. It was some kind of rope, but it wasn't a normal one; it was blue and... it was glowing.
The girl was holding that thing with her hand, but as soon that she saw that he was safe, she let go of it and caused Yuki to fall, but from a smaller distance. He barely felt any pain, not because it wasn't a hard fall, but because he was shocked for the moment he found out that the rope that saved his life wasn't hers.
It came out from his hand.
"Meow! Would you look at that?!"-asked the cat-girl sounding really excited-"You aren't as weak as I thought!"-
She knew what this was?
"W-what..."-Yuki tried to talk but he seemed to be scared, he couldn't let this 'thing' go-"What the heck is this?!"-he asked while shaking his hand to see if he could make this thing disappear
The girl took out some weird object, if he was honest; he would say that it looks like a yo-yo.
"You'll have to come with me if you want answers, little pup"-answered the girl as she threw the object at him, but still holding the string
Yuki's mind reacted by itself, he used the rope as a whip to defend himself. It seemed to be made of something really strong, because it cut the girl's weapon.
"Well, I never liked this dumb thing anyway"-said the girl letting go of the string she was holding-"I really like you, but I guess this time I should use force with you, sorry little puppy"-she said pretending to be sad
Yuki tried to prepare for anything that would happen next.
The kidnapper pulled out a gray stick from her belt, then she pressed a button on it. In less than a second, that thing was glowing and irradiating electricity.
Well this sucks.
He just held to the blue whip, if it was glued to his hand, then he was going to use it.
The strange girl ran to his direction, with her weapon in her right hand. Yuki was scared, he could avoid some of her hits; but she was really fast. He then decided to attack her with what seemed to be his weapon, he was a little clumsy; but quickly got a hold of it.
"You don't understand!"-she said while trying to attack him-"I have to take you to them!"-
"To who?!"-Yuki asked while using his whip to protect himself-"What's going on?!"-
"I just know that I have to take you with my dumb brother! He knows what's going on and he wants me to have no part of it!"-she yelled with a lot of annoyance on her voice
"What?"-asked the boy even more confused right now, if that's even possible
"I was lucky enough that he was so desperate that let me be part of his mission! What I need to do is to take one of the warriors! And it looks like I found him!"-
With that said, she was about to hit Yuki with her electric weapon, luckily; The brown haired guy was somehow faster that her. He used his whip to grab her wrist an pulled it to the left side, so she could lose her stick.
"Hey! Let go of me!"-she yelled noticing the blue whip around her wrist
Yuki did as she said, but only to throw it again, this time it tied her whole body.
It seemed like with that, the whip was not in his hand anymore.
"How did you even do that?!"-she asked while trying to get that thing off her
"I-I don't really know, but... I hope it disappears soon"-he answered nervously looking at his hand
"Wait wha- Hey! Come back here!"-yelled the girl watching him run
Yuki then came back for his bag, he had forgotten the stuff he bought.
"I-I'm sorry ma'am"-Yuki apologized-"I'm sorry if I ruined something for you, but... w-well goodbye!"-
With no more, the boy left.
"Well, I think I'm screwed"-she said as she saw him go
A few moments later, the rope wrapped around her was gone, She thought that he may not be far from here; but something kinda made her change her mind.
There was a cupcake in the floor, it was over a napkin and it seemed to be a little bit squished. She took it on her hand and looked at it.
"Maybe... I shouldn't be doing that grumpy cat's work! He should capture the legendary warriors by himself!"- she said as she took a bite of the cupcake
Yuki couldn't believe what just happened, he looked at his watch; at least it wasn't too late. His grandfather wouldn't come back from work until another hour, the boy could just go home, and pretend that this never happened.
Luckily for him, his Madoka was sleeping on the couch when he came back, it would give him time to shower before anyone would see him. So he just left the stuff in the kitchen and ran upstairs.
After his shower, he was looking at himself in the mirror. Something seemed different, sure he still has the bruises that the guys at school gave him, and but there was something that changed. He looked at his hand, Yuki didn't thought too much about what happened, he didn't know that it was or if he could ever do it again.
"She said that I had a fragment of star... in my chest"-he whispered with his hand on his chest-"If that's true, then why I'm still alive?"-he asked out loud
What the girl said couldn't possibly be true, but then again, How can he even explain that some kind of rope made of blue energy came out of his hand? How can he explain that there is people that is in search of the ones who got the other pieces stuck on them too? But wait a minute...
Wasn't Madoka right there with him the moment it happened?
That was imposible... Wasn't it?
"She was there with me..."-Yuki mumbled, still looking at his hands-"No, that can't be, if something was wrong with her, I would already knew"-
Unless she is hiding it from him.
With a deep sigh, he just finished drying his hair and put on some clothes. He was not going to think about this anymore. Going back to the living room; he found his sister, now awake, reading the comic books that he brought for her, he grabbed one cupcake from the kitchen and sat beside her on the couch.
"Hey"-he said revealing a lot of tiredness on his voice
"What happened?"-asked Madoka putting the comic down, and looking at her twin
How was he supposed to ask this?
"Hey, did something weird happened to you? Something like, I don't know, having superpowers all of the sudden?!"-he thought sarcastically, of course that wasn't the way to ask her
"Why did you brought all these? You don't usually read comic books, and I'm sure that you prefer chocolate over strawberry any day"-asked Madoka noticing that he was distracted by something
"Well... I thought that its the least I can do after you... decided to not say anything about"-he hesitated before finishing the sentence-"M-my situation"-
"Oh... no problem, little bro"-she said obviously teasing him
"Hey!"-he yelled offended-"You know I'm the older twin!"-
"Blah blah twelve minutes blah blah blah!"-with that, she threw him a pillow-"When are you gonna let it go?!"-she asked while laughing
"Never!"-he threw it back, he was also laughing
Madoka threw the pillow again, and before he could grabbed it; she hit him in the head with another pillow. It was war, they were now having a pillow fight, their game made them fell from the couch. Yuki lost his pillow and Madoka was about to finish him, but he used his hands to retreat the pillow before it hit him.
Yuki somehow managed to not only push the pillow, but he pushed his sister along with it. He didn't knew until he heard her screaming. The boy didn't understand, he wasn't that strong.
Then he looked at his hands.
"What?"-was the only thing he said
Hiding his hands in his shirt, Yuki just ran upstairs. He was fast, but not fast enough to avoid the fact of his sister watching him running.
"Wha- Hey wait!"-she yelled following her brother
As soon as Yuki found himself in his room, he locked the door and pressed himself against it. He couldn't believe what he was looking at.
His hands were glowing.
This wasn't like what happen before, it wasn't just a ray coming from his hand, now his hands were completely blue and... they seemed like they were made of... light.
"Yuki! Are you alright?!"-asked Madoka from outside the room-"What? Did you locked the door?!"-
"I-I... I'll be there in a minute!"-he answered shaking his hands-"Come on! Turn off!"-he whispered trying to stop whatever was going on
"Yuki! What's going on? Did I hit you too hard?!"-asked the girl again-"Come on! Open the door!"-
"No!"-he yelled in fear-"I-I m-mean... I just need to cover the bruise in my face before grampa comes back!"-he used the quickest excuse he had
"Yuki! I'm not leaving until you tell me the truth!"-yelled the younger twin-"Open the stupid door! Right now!"-
The guy knew she wasn't gonna go until she was fully convinced.
"There is... I have a lot of bruises all over my body ok?!"-Yuki screamed without fully noticing what he had just said
"You what?!"-
Well, it was better to say this truth, than the other truth.
"The guys in the dressing room didn't just punched me in the face... they grabbed me and.. well they hit me and kicked me a lot!"-Yuki admitted unconsciously wrapping his arms around himself, he seemed to be remembering what happened earlier-"And... well, when I fell from the couch... it hurt a lot! I swear I'll be fine, I just need a minute!"-
He couldn't hear his sister anymore.
"F-fine... but if I don't see you back in ten minutes, I will destroy this door and check on you myself, got it?!"-Madoka asked loudly, he could hear that she was containing her desire of killing someone
What the hell has he done?
"G-got it"-he answered
Yuki could hear his twin sister walking away, she also seemed to be muttering something. God, she was so pissed right now...
Looking back at his hands, they weren't glowing anymore. How did he turned this off?
"Did they stopped glowing when I told her the truth?"-he whispered as he slowly sat on the floor-"What's going on with me?"-
Yuki decided to go back to the living room, before he could even say anything; he found himself being wrapped in his sister's arms. He tried to move or something, but she was holding so tight, it was just like when they saw each other after being separated.
"Hey... are you ok?"-he asked nervously
He regretted his question so bad... Now she was crying.
"I'm sorry"-she said between sobs
"For what?"-
"For everything you go through every day... for not being here... I'm sorry"-
"What?"-he asked completely surprised-"Madoka, You have nothing to be sorry for... I-its not your fault"-
Madoka let him go and looked him directly in the eyes, she couldn't help but still crying.
"Please, stop crying"-he begged-"I don't like to see you cry"-
"I-I'm sorry"-she was drowning on her own tears
"Stop saying you are sorry, you will make me cry too"-he said with a smirk
"N-no!"-she yelled as he started to fake-crying-"Please don't cry!"-
"Then you stop!"-
She did as he told, and started breathing. Madoka stopped her crying and looked at her twin, he had a big smile on his face.
"You always were the crybaby"-she mumble before laughing a little
"That's not true"-he answered laughing too-"You used to cry every time you saw a dog on the streets"-
"They don't have a home!"-
