Chapter 17: Can Tsukuyomi Heal?
"Argh…" Aichi groaned as he got up from falling over for umpteenth time.
"Aichi, you think you can stop falling over for a while? It's getting unnerving especially if you fall over while we're crossing the road again." Emi asked, clearly worried for her brother's wellbeing.
"Yeah Aichi, you could lean on me if you need the support y'know." Misaki offered and put out her hand.
"Er… No need… I'll just-" Aichi stopped in mid-sentence as he stumble to pedestrian on the sidewalk.
"Watch it you blind ass!" The guy scolded before walking off, pissed. Like his day wasn't already bad enough. In the morning, he just spent his entire savings to buy Vanguard cards but barely got any good cards. And now have a random kid nearly bump him to the ground? No wonder he was pissed when he walked off. And goodness knows what'll happen to the next person to ruin his day.
Now back to the sibling trio. "Eh, I think I could use that support Misaki." Aichi said weakly as his resolve wavered for a bit and the Psyqualia burned bright pink in his eyes.
Misaki placed a guiding hand on to Aichi's shoulder, but Aichi whirled around with surprising speed and balance, causing Misaki to tumble backwards. "Get your hands off me!" Aichi screamed right before he clutched his head and dropped to the ground. He got back up and shakily offered his hand to Misaki.
"Aichi!" Emi shouted as Aichi turned around so suddenly and she freaked out even more when he dropped to the ground. She was about to help him and Misaki up when Aichi got up and offered his help to Misaki.
"I… Don't… Know… What… Came over… Me but… I'm… Sorry Misaki…" Aichi stuttered as he helped Misaki off the ground, right before collapsing into her arms.
"Aichi!" Emi let out another horrified shriek and looked at Misaki for some form of reassurance.
"We need to get him home fast." Misaki said, with worry written all over her face.
"How are we going to do that if he's unconscious?" Emi panicked and teared.
"Hey it's alright… I'll be fine enough to walk home…" Aichi muttered as he straightened himself from Misaki's arms.
"Alright, then let's hurry home then!" Emi barely whispered as the tears stopped streaming down her cheeks.
For the rest of the journey home, Aichi had stumbled into five other people and bumped into three lamp posts before finally reaching home. Apart from all this, they trio did not encounter much incident.
The moment they walked into the house, Aichi had collapsed and his mum immediately carried him, with Misaki's help, to his room.
"Misaki, what happened to Aichi?" Shizuka asked, worry clear on her face, with a few beads of perspiration.
"Well…" Misaki started and decided to tell her all about Psyqualia. From when he first got the power (or curse), the monster he became, how Kai brought him back and all the recent events in the mall.
Shizuka pondered about it for a moment before asking, "So he's in so much pain 'cos he's trying to suppress this 'Psyqualia'? Can he do it?"
Misaki shrugged with a forlorn expression, "I hope he can. For his sake and for everyone else's sake." And added in a soft whisper, "I believe you can beat Psyqualia Aichi, please beat it and come back to us."
A/N: Once again, I am updating before my year ends because I simply do not like to revise although I know I should. Do you guys think Aichi can beat Psyqualia? And please do give me some ideas for future chapters! Cause I am seriously running out of ideas to make this Fanfic longer. ~" And once again, thanks for the support! :
