Life 25

Akeno's PoV

After club activities and Rias introduced Ise-kun to everyone.

Though they seem new about him and worried. Ise-kun tried to catch up with all of them and he is getting a long.

We still need informations including that unidentified woman and that pendant.

Masato seems like he knew alot of these Stuffs so I'm just gonna ask him.

Rias and I are working hard for him. We asked Ise-kun these past few days if his head still hurts but he said it's fine.

He tried to remember something but Rias said he shouldn't force it and just let things happen.

In my perspective, someone wants revenge on Ise-kun not just that dragon Masato talked about.

Rias dismissed the club activities early and Ise-kun, Asia and her went home including everyone.

Right now, I'm at my classroom. I have something to do here.

Earlier while we're teasing Rias and Ise-kun, I can explain that something was looking at Ise outside the window.

Seems like someone's watching
Ise-Kun's movement. Rias didn't notice because she was really brighten but at the same time embarrassed about him and Ise.

I noticed that very well. I told this matter to Rias and she became really worried and faze.

I told her not to worry because I'll try my best or 'we' to fix this mess and to return back Ise-kun.

It was 9:00 pm and I'm using my capabilities and I had my familiar to help me.

I'm trying to track her down and even try to think logically.

Time skip

After spending the whole 1 hour, nothing happened but my familiar found something Interesting.

I head towards the school grounds where my imp found it.

...
...

..
..

My eyes widened and I backed off a little space.

I try to look at it clearly. I thought I was dreaming.

But...

What I saw is...

Another...

"Part of Dragonic Pendant..."

Back at the classroom..

"What!? Another part of-"

"Yes, I can't belive this. It's just hard to believe."

I open a small communication magic circle to contact Rias. I can't calm myself down and I was trying really hard to grasp reality.

"J-just how m-many p-pendant does they have?!"

I heard Rias sobbing on the other line and it makes me worried.

"Rias, I have something to tell you.."

"Wh-what.. I-Is it something to..
A-Abominate?... To f-fear? "

Rias, I don't wanna hurt my bestfriend further but...she needs to know...

"Promise me... You won't flip out"

Rias was sobbing really hard but after a few seconds she calmed down.

"I-I'll..T-try"

"I have a friend of mine, he's a mind reader"

"M-mind reader?"

"Yes. He might give us a hand and help us. Because he told me a... Story"

"S-Story?... Mind r-reader?.. I-I can't-"

"He's name is Sonoda Masato"

Rias kept quiet for a bit. She ask me lots of question to make it clear for her. I told her everything.

I told her what Masato told me. "The story of dragons".

When I'm done, I heard her sob again but softly...

"Calm down, we'll get through this.."

"..."

She didn't answer. But I'm pretty sure of it that she is finding herself to have courage and hope.

"...Alright.. Thanks Akeno for the info..."

Rias disconnect our communication signal and hang up.

Home

I reached home, tired and dead batt. I don't think that I'll have enough strength to pull through what just happened today. It was like a bizarre.

Once I step a foot inside my house, I felt strangely odd.

I put my bag somewhere and walk towards my bedroom without satisfaction aside from being tired and frighten.

I remove my shoes and threw myself on my bed. I really miss my bed-kun. Why can't they have bed in our classroom?

I tried to clear my thoughts and thought of better things to get rid of my tiredness.

I just realized one thing...

I know something's odd when I went inside.

...

..

..

Where's Masato?

I raised my head to look for him. He's not here, I thought he was in the shower so I didn't bother calling his name.

I'm starting to get anxious and worried. I got up from bed and wore my shoes.

I went to the living room and look for him everywhere but he wasn't there. I tried looking at the kitchen but no sign of him being there.

I nervously starting to get uneasy.

God Masato, where did you go..?

I sat down on a couch thinking of any possible place to go. But I met Masato on a dark alley near at the convenience store.

Maybe he's there?

It doesn't matter I'm going anyway!

I rushed outside and went everywhere to look for him.

Masato.. You idiot..

Rias PoV

I can't stop tears from flowing. I was crying really hard that someone holds grudge on my Ise.

My heart is beating erratically and I hate seeing Ise like this. Suffering from amnesia.

I-Ise... I love you so much Ise and yet..

D-do you l-love me that much...

Someone enters the room and it was Ise.

He saw me sobbing and crying and he became worried.

Why are you worrying about me...

He came closer until he's two centimeters away.

"R-Rias? A-are you okay?"

He asked with a worried voice.

I was covered with anxiety because of what Akeno reported me. Why enemies hate Ise!?

He is mine, he is my Ise!

I was crying filled with anger. My emotions took advantage of me.

"Why do you care!?"

I shouted at Ise and he just stood there with a nervous look.

"I-I wa-"

"What!? Would you please get out!"

"I-I'm sorr-"

"Sorry!? Sorry!? Do you even know what sorry means!? I don't understand why you become like that!"

"C-clam d-down plea-"

"Shut up please! Just... Shut up!"

I released my anger at Ise and at the same time, my tears flow endlessly from my cheeks.

I the spoke with a anger tone of voice.

"Do you really Love me?!"

He was shocked and nervous.

"Y-yes I Love yo-"

"THEN IF YOU REALLY DO, YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET ME!"

When I shouted at him, I felt guilty.

I regret what I've said when I saw him having frighten eyes towards me.

He's now affraid of me...

I-I didn't m-mean t-to.. S-Sartled him...

I-I just w-wanted him to r-realise that I need him more because he might die and left me all a-alone again...

I-I lose my will... To stand alone...

I scooted small amount towards him but he's backing away.

"I-Ise.."

I called his name softly with sob. I need to a-apologize...

"P-please.."

Ise plead and backed away from me as much as possible.

"D-Don't hurt m-me R-Rias"

My heart shattered into pieces the moment he said that.

My tears are starting to build up again.

I weakly walk towards him. He just looks at me with so much sorry and with fear eyes.

I d-don't want him l-like this.. I regret being selfish earlier! I wanna say... Sorry..

"I-I won't h-hurt you.."

"P-please... don't.. I-I'm s-sorry please forgive me."

Don't say things anymore. I'm the one who has faults! It's my fault don't be sorry... Please...

You're breaking my heart...

"P-please don't say.. Sorry.. I-I'm the one who n-needs to apologize.."

Ise didn't look at me and when he does, he's affraid...

He didn't look into my eyes. How I wish I didn't said those words to him. If I didn't said that, he would look at me deeply into my eyes.

But now...

He can't even look...

"L-Let me... S-ay sorry.. P-please..."

I walk closer, even I am affraid of myself for scolding Ise. He's not at fault and yet..

I grab his hand and pulled him closer..

He was too affraid to come closer and I practically pulled us together closer into a warm hug.

Not until Ise started to hissed and groan when our body contacted.

He seperate himself from me and backed away far form me to reach.

Ise put both of his hands on his head and lose balance causing him to fall on the floor.

I became worried and ran towards him to help him. But the moment I put my right hand on his head he shouted at pain.

D-Don't tell me that..

Hyoudou Ise shouldn't be strain or forced to remember any of his memory or he'll lose his mind and everyone who is important to him...

I remembered what the doctor said..

I panicked and regret my actions..

Ise..

I called that doctor from the underworld to have a look at Ise.

I carry Ise on the bed and laid him.

He looks suffered from my words I spit...

I-It's my f-fault if I lose you...
