The Ultimate Power of Earth [Chapter 13]
Chapter 13
It’s today
Ryutaro was in coma. The doctors said they had done the best that they could but Ryutaro condition was unstable. His head injured badly and he had lost lot of blood. The doctor said it would be a miracle if he could survive in that state. Yuri was sitting beside Ryutaro’s bed, looking all the wire that attached to his body.
“Yama-chan,” Yuto called when Ryosuke was walking away while they were standing outside Ryutaro’s room. Ryosuke stopped but still didn’t look at Yuto.
“I’m sorry, your companion…” Yuto stopped his words and nodded down. Ryosuke continued walking.
“Wait!” Yuto called again. This time he rushed toward Ryosuke and stood in front of Ryosuke. Ryosuke stopped his steps again.
“How did you know their location?” Yuto asked but there was no answer.
“I’m sorry for asking this question while the situation is…”
“You’re still suspecting me?” Ryosuke raised his head, glared at Yuto. Yuto sighed and nodded down.
“Our organization has an identical signal wave at the phone.” Ryosuke answered and walked away.
Mayuko and Mirai just watched the scene from far. Mirai knew Ryosuke isn’t that bad as what Yuto thought but she didn’t want to interfere. She scared if everything will turn badly if she interrupted.
“Let’s go, the school didn’t end yet.” Yuto said when he approached the girls. Mirai nodded her head. However, Mayuko still looking down didn’t response. Yuto moved closer to Mayuko.
“Mayu-chan,” Yuto patted Mayuko shoulder.
“Yuto,” Mayuko suddenly hugged Yuto and cried in Yuto’s chest. She was shocked. That was the first time she saw that kind of frightening scene plus watching Ryutaro’s condition made her scared.
“Don’t worry, I had promised that I’ll protect you, didn’t I?” Yuto asked and rubbed Mayuko black silky hair gently.
“I’m worry about you,” Mayuko said slowly.
“Me? I’ll be fine,” Yuto smiled. Mayuko broke from Yuto’s hold slowly and looked into Yuto smiling face.
“Promise me,” Mayuko said seriously.
“I promise,” Yuto hugged Yuto back. Mirai just watched the love birds. She actually thinking about the guy who almost killed Ryutaro or maybe he’ll kill Ryutaro. Who was that guy and what his motive was. She sighed. Things were getting complicated and it was because of her. Sometimes she thought of throwing away this power and leaded her normal life back.
“Mirai,” Yuto called kill Mirai thought. Mirai looked at Yuto.
“Let’s go,” Yuto said and walked with Mayuko. Mirai just followed from behind and glanced slightly at Yuri and Ryutaro before she lost vision of them.
The teacher hadn’t finish the meeting yet so the students were wandering everywhere around the school. Mirai hung out at the library with her friends.
“Mirai, where are you going just now?” A girl asked. Mirai was still in her own world thinking about the incident that happened.
“Mirai!” The girl called her.
“Eh? Gomen,” Mirai said as she just noticed that her friend was talking to her.
“You must be thinking about Yamada-san,” The girl said smiling.
“It’s not like what you think,” Mirai said waving both of her hand and shook her head.
“Speaking of Yamada-san, where is he?” Another girl asked. Mirai shrugged her shoulder.
Suddenly, lots of girl gathered at a computer.
“What’s that?” Mirai asked.
“Lets find out,” Mirai’s friend said and pulled her hand. She squeezed her body to place herself at the front row. Mirai’s eyes widen when she saw the article at the monitor.
“I type Yamada Ryosuke at the search engine and this article came out,” The girl who sat on the chair said.
“This article date is today,” A girl said.
“No it was 6 years ago, see.” Another girl pointed at the date. Mirai read it one by one.
A tragedy happened at a family. The whole family lost their life except a child name Yamada Ryosuke,10. The reason of the deaths had been identify. Every victim had died because of the blood lost. However, the reason of the blood lost of the mother and the father of the family can’t be indentify.
Mirai stopped reading.
Ryosuke pointed at a flower that grown on the roof. Suddenly, the flower turned into ashes.
Mirai thought what would happen if he did that to human.
“I know this tragedy,” A girl suddenly said. Everyone focused at the girl.
“My mom says that he is the reason,” The girl continued.
“He brings the bad luck,” The girl said again. Everyone did kind of not believe the fact and leave the place.
“It’s true. Everyone blame him.” The girl tried to convince everyone but no one heard her anymore.
“If it true, do you know where his house?” A girl was still hearing to her story.
“Yes, it nears the park. It..” Mirai listened to her carefully.
“I know that house,” Mirai said and suddenly ran away.
“Mirai!” Her friend was surprised.
“Well, something is going on,” A girl said patting her friend shoulder.
“Mirai, what are you doing here?” Yuto asked as he saw Mirai was standing in front of the entrance of his class.
“Waiting for you,” Mirai answered.
“I’m going to a place, what do you want?” Yuto asked and walked away. Mirai walked beside him.
“It’s okay, we can go to the place that you want to go,” Mirai said suddenly. Yuto was confused. What happen to her? Yuto thought.
Mirai nodded down. She was sure that Yuto didn’t know yet but maybe she shouldn’t tell Yuto. Both of Yuto and Ryosuke might end up fighting. That was not what she really wanted. Maybe she should wait for a right time to tell Yuto about Ryosuke’s past.
“Where are we going?” Mirai asked.
“Home,” Yuto answered.
“But the school didn’t end yet,” Mirai said pointing at her back.
“The teachers will never attend the class today. The meeting is too long so don’t worry,” Yuto said and kept walking. Mirai just followed Yuto steps until he reached his house.
“Wait here,” Yuto said. Mirai nodded her head and Yuto rushed in the house.
“Done,” Yuto appeared with a ball in his hand.
“What’s this?” Mirai asked pointing at the ball.
“A ball,” Yuto said and started walking.
“For what?” Mirai asked confusedly and followed Yuto.
“Play. This is the ball that I bring to the park when I want to play with Yama-chan.” Yuto said smiling.
“But, there is no way he’ll come,” Mirai said bluntly. Suddenly she realized that it could hurt Yuto.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t really mean it,” Mirai apologized.
“It’s okay. I’m like sitting at the park and remembering the sweet memory. Yama-chan may change but the memory can’t.” Yuto answered.
“Eh? What is this?” Mirai pointed something on the ball.
“This? It’s the date that I play with Yama-chan for the last time. I wrote it here so I’ll not forget. I came to the park at this date every year because I always thought he’ll be there. Sorry for telling you this,” Yuto laughed a bit.
“It’s today,” A voice suddenly heard. Both of Yuto and Mirai turned back to see the owner of the voice.
“Yama-chan?” Yuto was shocked.
