The Ultimate Power of Earth [Chapter 10]
Chapter 10
True identity
“How is he?” Kota asked when Hikaru stepped out of Ryosuke’s room.
“He sleeps,” Hikaru answered weakly.
“I thought he had got rid of it,” Kota said and walked to theirs room.
“It’s not that easy but…” Hikaru stopped. Kota turned back to Hikaru.
“But?” Kota asked curiously.
“It’s had been a long time he didn’t trauma like this. I think something or someone he meet today had reminded him of it,” Hikaru looked to Kota hoping he understood.
“He should get use to it.” Kota said coldly.
“He is only 16. You can’t expect he accept everything easily.” Hikaru almost shouted.
“If he can’t then how he can replace my place and be the guardian,” Kota looked at Hikaru, waiting for answer.
“He only had live for 16 year. There is more he need to learn. Don’t pass your work to him that fast.” Hikaru came closer to Kota.
“But I’m tired. I want to be with you forever.” Kota was about to hug Hikaru but suddenly he saw Ryosuke was standing in front of his room.
“Ryosuke?” Kota surprised. Hikaru quickly turned back. Ryosuke glared at his parent.
“How long you had been there?” Kota asked. Ryosuke didn’t answer. He got in his room and locked the door.
“Do you think he heard us?” Hikaru asked Kota. He hoping Kota could answer no although he knew for himself that the answer was yes.
“You know, Hikaru.” Kota answered. Hikaru quickly rushed to Ryosuke room.
“Ryosuke, forgive us for not telling this.” Hikaru said from outside of the room as Ryosuke locked the door. Kota patted Hikaru shoulder and smiled.
“Now is the time for bedtime story,” Kota said. Hikaru nodded his head.
“Ryosuke, remember the story I tell you last night. I promise I’ll continue tonight, right?” Hikaru said trough the door but there was no answer.
“The cruel man loved the wife of the protector and she was pregnant at that time. He wanted to get the woman but he can’t. On the night when the woman gave her birth, the cruel man came and killed the woman with the baby.” Hikaru stopped. He looked at Kota.
“Yes, the protector killed him right away. Luckily, the cruel man had a child. The protector requested to the child to reborn the baby. Actually, the power is not that great. It only can grant one wish at one time and there should be a ritual but this isn’t that bad. The worst is there need a sacrifice. As a sacrifice when the baby is reborn his childhood is full with suffer and anger.” Hikaru stopped. He stayed quite to wait for Ryosuke’s answer. Kota sat crossing his leg in front of the door.
Ryosuke sat on his bed listening to Hikaru’s story. He nodded down looking at his toes.
“So that’s my true identity,” Ryosuke said to himself.
Kota and Hikaru were still waiting outside of the room. Kota looked very distressing. Maybe he felt guilty for not telling the little guy earlier. Maybe he felt guilty for making that painful request.
“I’m sorry, Ryosuke.” Kota said suddenly. Hikaru looked at Kota confusedly. Kota never apologized to anyone else except Hikaru. He always had the ego but maybe Ryosuke had an exceptional after all. Hikaru smiled at Kota.
“What?” Kota asked to Hikaru.
“Nothing,” Hikaru said continued smiling.
“Let’s go. We need good sleep.” Kota stood up. Hikaru looked at the door and looked at Kota.
“Okay,” He nodded his head following Kota’s steps.
Suddenly, the door was opened. Kota and Hikaru quickly turned back. Ryosuke was standing there in front his room looking down to the floor. Then he looked at his parents.
“Oka-san,” Ryosuke said with a small smile on his lips. Hikaru was shocked hearing it.
“Yes,” Hikaru said smiling happily.
“Good night,” Ryosuke said gently. Hikaru nodded his head. Ryosuke got in his room and closed the door.
“Why he didn’t say anything to me?” Kota asked.
“He has his own reason of course,” Hikaru answered and could see Kota make a long face.
“Mayu-chan, what are you doing?” Mirai asked as she already lying on their bed.
“Sending a good night mail to Yuto,” Mayuko said and kept her phone under her pillow.
“Eh?” Mirai was shocked. Mayuko never sent any good night mail to Yuto. Suddenly she remembered that Yuto call Mayuko, Mayu-chan.
“What had happen between you two?” Mirai moved her face closer to Mayuko.
“We’re dating now,” Mayuko pushed Mirai away from her face.
“I thought you had fallen for Yamada-san,” Mirai moved to her original position back.
“Well yes but I’ll never get his heart,” Mayuko suddenly sounded frustrated.
“You never try, right?” Mirai said.
“You like him, right?” Mayuko suddenly asked.
“Me? Like who?” Mirai asked back, didn’t understand Mayuko question or maybe tried to escape answering the question.
“Yamada-san. You’re taking about him since last night.” Mayuko said smirking to Mirai.
“Eh? Really?” Mirai said confusedly scratching her head.
“You can’t deny it.” Mayuko chuckled.
“But, I already found my first love.” Mirai said suddenly.
“Eh? You had found him. How does he look? Older?” Mayuko asked curiosly. Mirai shook her head.
“Nope, he didn’t change even a bit.” Mirai answered with a smile.
“That’s weird,” Mayuko seemed unsatisfied.
“Because he is my guardian,” Mirai said happily. She looked outside of the window. She was gladded that her dream came true, meeting him again was like a miracle. Mirai was remembering how her heart was beating when she saw him.
“Mirai, how you can find him?” Mayuko asked. Mirai awoke from her thought. She looked at Mayuko suspicious face. Mirai smiled and started explaining everything to Mayuko.
“We will start will small piece,” A voice was heard by Yuya at his phone.
“That will make everything become easier,” Yuya answered.
“Ready for tomorrow plan, Yuya.?” The voice asked.
“Hai,” Yuya answered and turned his eyes to sleeping Arioka on the bed. He smiled.
