Magnet
Chapter 20
~ Authors POV~
After the fight, Yuu had managed to control himself from killing Reiga by using full of his powers, which can lead to doomsday.
"Don't try angering his highness", Reiga warned both Kahoko and Len while they were walking back to the Tsukimori mansion.
"Hey... how about the damage you did to that old mansion and the forest... you guys destroyed the mansion and burned the forest... wouldn't that be bad?", Kahoko asked after seeing the forest she once entered as dark and scary and now she leave with the trees burned and small fires scattered around.
"Leave everything to Yuu. I bet he has a trick under his sleeves", Len said as he hold Kahoko's hand.
Kahoko blushed. "Oh...".
"Fall apart", Yuu said after they left the forest.
Kahoko turned around to see the forest was safe and that it seemed nothing happened. She turned at Len and saw Len's polo shirt clean white and that Len's hair and appearance looked decent than when she met him outside the old looking mansion.
"Wow... it all seemed like a dream... a nightmare", Kahoko said.
"I told you he has a trick... He did the same thing when he was little", Len said.
Yuu looked at Len and asked, "You still remembered the day when I burned the towels?".
"How can I forget? It wasn't that easy to forget you know...", Len said.
"I see... shall I erase your memory?", Yuu offered Len.
Len shivered and answered, "Don't. I might end up losing all my memories".
Yuu just smiled.
~Day 3~
"I feel like I had a strange dream", Len said after waking up. He started his way to the dinning room for breakfast.
"Morning", Yuu greeted Len.
"Morning", Len greeted back.
"How's your night Lenny?", Len heard a familiar voice.
Len glared at the person. "Don't ever dare call me that again", Len said while lifting a knife.
Reiga flinched at Len's glare as well as how Len lifted the knife he got his hands on. "O-ok".
"So it wasn't a dream", Len mumbled.
Yuu nodded.
Len shook his head and ordered with a glare at both Yuu and Reiga, "From now on, less supernaturals".
"Yes", both said.
After eating, Len left the dinning room leaving Reiga and Yuu alone. He went to the phone and gave a call to Kahoko...
"I really fell from it", Reiga said as he took a bite from his third sandwich.
Yuu nodded and agreed, "Yes you did".
"Now I lost my powers and even lost my right to order you around".
"That's what you get for messing with my life".
"You already knew what's going to happen and just acted everything... even your thoughts were just an act... thinking frantically and making me think that you're really worried and all".
"You can read my mind so I acted like that".
"That explains why our fight was simpler than the normal battles in the past", Reiga sighed and took another bite from his sandwich.
"You didn't thought that I'd use all my powers just because of you, did you? You should have known better since you're a Shizuka", Yuu said smirking.
Reiga glared at Yuu. "Don't make fun of me. I can't believe that you don't hold a grudge against the Shizuka family after all what happened from the past", Reiga said.
"Hmm... past is past. Better move on than be tied down, right? Besides, I'm already contented with what I do. I already had my revenge. The Shizuka family all have no more powers. They're like humans now, including you. So thanks for waking me and letting me remove your supernatural abilities", Yuu said and he gave Reiga a mocking smile.
"So that's what you're after!".
"Yeah. The Shizuka family are normal humans now so I don't need to use my powers. I'll be living normally", Yuu said and stood up. "Wash the dishes", he ordred Reiga.
Reiga stood up. "Hey! Why me?".
"Because you failed to completely control me. Do it before I also take your life", Yuu said and left Reiga.
"Damn that angel looking demon. No wonder he was called the Shinigami Prince at their time. No wonder why my family wanted to kill him. He threatens those who go against him", Reiga mumbled and washed the dishes.
"He never wished for the throne because even without it, he can still do whatever he likes", Iku said behind Reiga making him jump.
"Yeah... The Rozen family became royalty because they're like Gods with their powers. Only that family can take away a supernatural beings powers and do whatever they want. Now I know why there are less of our kind and more on humans. Silverylle uses that ability and turn supernatural beings to humans".
"His highness real wish is for this world to be at peace. With people possessing supernatural powers, it'll be hard to manage and create peace. So please just obey him, he is after all your superior now", Iku said laughing at the result. "The master became a dish washer".
Reiga threw the sponge he was holding to Iku. "Stop laughing you brat! Have respect to your elders", Reiga said angrily.
Iku laughed even more and threw the sponge back at Reiga. "Yeah, yeah, Mr. Dish washer".
~Yuu POV~
Now that my plans worked and managed to remove the supernatural abilities that the Shizuka family possesses, now what? My real job is to make this world peaceful by lessening supernatural beings... I'm pretty bored... Oh! Kahoko and Len!
Knock knock... someone knocked on my bedroom door.
"Come in", I said, putting down the book I was reading.
The door opened and a certain head popped in to peek. "Am I disturbing?", Sakura asked.
"I already gave you permission to enter", I told her.
Sakura walked until she was just a few steps from me, stood for a few seconds and sat on the floor afterwards. Her face wore a scared expression. "I-I don't know what happened yeterday but... my body acted on it's own and... the guy I stabbed yesterday with a scythe", She gulped and continued, "H-he-he's watching tv downstairs".
"Don't worry. That stab didn't harm him at all", I told her. I can hear her heart racing and she tried taking deep breaths to calm herself. Was she scared because Reiga was perfectly in one piece? "Don't worry about him. He's now a freeloader".
"But yesterday was a bit... confusing... I mean my body moved on it's own and when I tried moving my body, I just can't and... I must have been heavy...", she said looked at me and then turned her gaze on the floor. "You carried me...".
"About that, I wan't to apologize for using you. But you were very helpful", I said. I stood up from my bed and went near her. I patted her head and said, "Having control of your body and even using you without your permission, I'm sorry".
"I-it's fine! I was able to help, I'm glad but... how did that happen? I only remembered that guy downstairs say that he'll make me see your past but then a sudden light flashed through my eyes and the next thing I knew you were carrying me", She said. I'm surprised that she's fine with what happened. Normally a normal person would have freaked out.
"You have a thirst for supernaturals, huh... I'll make you see what I planned and all. May I have permission to use magic on you?", I asked her. I guess it's better this way than forcing magic on her before.
Sakura nodded and said, "Sure", with a smile. I snapped my fingers and let her see everything I planned and did until last nights event.
Her expression was blank while she was under the spell. Staring at her face... she looks cute. I sat in front of her waiting for the spell to end.
Eleven years ago, I met her and even scared her. I drank her blood then and after I was satisfied with her, I found myself in a messy situation. She smiled at me, back then I though she was stupid to smile at a monster like me, but I guess I can understand. She's very kind and understanding. And now I met her and again I used her for my own convenience, still she smiled. I really find her weird. She's not scared of me after doing all those things to her.
But there were times I saw her scared expression. Like the time when I drank her blood. And yesterday, when she said I was a ghost. That was funny though.
I touched the tip of her hair. Ah... I remembered kissing her for no reason last night... why did I do that in the first place?
"Awesome! You planned everything well... you're even good at acting!", Sakura said. The spell ended already?
I saw Sakura blush and after noticing my hand touching her hair I took it right away. "S-sorry", I apologized.
She raised both of her hands and waved it in front of her. "I-it's fine!", she said, her face was still red.
After a few seconds of silence she spoke up, "I have a question".
"What is it?", I asked.
"Y-you k-kissed me last night... w-was there a reason you did that?", She asked.
Why did she have to bring that up? I really don't know why... I imagined myself slapping my forehead. "There's actually no reason behind it", I answered honestly.
I saw her blush even more. "Y-you did it on a whim?", she asked.
I nodded. "I'm sorry! You can slap me for suddenly doing such a thing", I said. I hope it'll make us equal if that happens.
"I can't do that! I'll just forget about it", she said. She closed her eyes tightly and after a few seconds she opened her eyes and said, "I cant...".
I laughed. Was that supposed to be a kind of trick to forget? "It's fine", I told her. "I wont be able to forget it, as well, anyway".
We both became silent for a whole minute.
Sakura broke the silence and said, "Your brother and Kahoko. They're going on a date right? I hope they have fun".
"They will if we don't intrude", I said. I saw her nod.
"Sakura", I called her.
She tilted her head to the side and said, "That was the first time you called me by my given name".
"Is that so?", I asked. I didn't notice.
"Yes", She answered with a smile. "Oh... what is it?".
"I made a contract with you. You fulfill my wish while I fulfill yours. You have already granted my wish so... what is your wish?", I asked her.
I saw her stare at me. Then she looked up the ceiling making a thinking pose. "Any wish right?", Sakura asked.
"Yup, any wish", I answered.
"Then... I want Len and Kahoko to end up together. I want them inseparable like magnets... Ah not literally but I hope they are meant for each other... It'll be romantic if they end up living together for the rest of their lives. Ohhh! Like in fairytales!", Sakura said. She really does like romance.
"Did you know that if Len took Kahoko as his girlfriend, Kahoko is his first girlfriend and same with Kahoko, Len will be her first boyfriend", I said.
"Oohhh! How nice! First love!", she laughed. "Cool! And they end up marrying each other. How romantic! It's not often something like that happens", she said happily.
"Yeah, I agree", I said. "By the way, I cannot grant your wish", I told her.
"Eh? Is that so?", she said and made a sad expression.
"Yeah... it's because that in the end, even without our help, they will end up together no matter what. They attract each other like magnets, either by music or feelings. They're meant to be together from the start", I said.
"But why did you want them together if that was the case?", Sakura asked. I know I explained it to her before but...
"I'm annoyed at how Len is a coward in expressing his feelings and how they are both so dense. To start with, they liked each other since they first met. Music kept them together and music will always bind them together. At least that's what a certain fairy told me", I said. I remember having a small chat with Lili. He sure watched both violinist closely.
"Oh... I remember that they both like music. How nice", Sakura said with a big smile on her face.
"Why not wish for something that is for you?", I asked her. She's so selfless and wished for others happiness.
Sakura gave a thought to what I said. "Ok", she said. "I'll think about something".
"Better think of that wish soon. I'm stuck with a debt to you", I said.
Sakura smiled. "Okay", she said. "Then I wish to know who'll be the person at the end of my string of fate".
My eyes widen at her wish. I didn't expect it but...
"If it's impossible, it's fine", she said taking back what she asked for.
"No. To tell you the truth. I already knew who was at the end", I told her with a smile.
She had a surprised expression after hearing me. She looked interested but then she tried her best to hide it. "Is that so?", she asked.
"But, I'll let you know him when the time comes", I said, turning down another wish of hers.
"Aww... okay. I can't think of anything for now...", she said and laid on the floor.
After ten minutes~
"Oh!", Sakura said and sat up from the floor. "I want to know what a date is like in reality! Can we have a date?", she asked me.
I was surprised... a date? "Huh? Are you sure that's what you want?", I asked her.
"Yup! If it's fine". She smiled. "This way, my curiosity at how Kahoko and Len felt on their date will stop bothering me".
"O-oh...", was all I can say. Somehow, I felt disappointed. "Okay. Tomorrow, after your classes. Let's meet in front of your school", I decided.
"Okay!", Sakura answered cheerfully.
~Len POV~
I called Kahoko on the phone and asked her if she was free tomorrow.
"I have classes tomorrow... why?", Kahoko asked me. Oh... I forgot tomorrow she has classes.
Well... in truth, I want to take her somewhere, like a date, since I'll leave after two days. But I can't tell her that, can I? "I want to take you somewhere...", I said. .
"Oh, okay. I don't mind. I'm free after classes. Will that be okay?", Kahoko said on the other line.
"Yes, it's fine. I'll pick you up tomorrow at the university. Will that be fine?", I asked her.
"Sure. I'm looking forward!", Kahoko said. I felt my face turn hot.
I hope this chapter is not boring o.O It's more talk O.o
