It was all dark. I couldn't feel anything..
Why am I hearing things? Where am I? What is this place? Why it is so dark? Wait, there is... a light?
"Kazaki", I wondered who called me. "Young Kazaki". It was mr Fuguromo that called my name "Wake up", he said and I woke up with a really bad headache. Aching and grunting from the pain ,"Hey you alright kid?" Mr Fuguromo asked, I replied to him that I am alright even though my body was still in a bad shape. "Wait, I fainted? And.. Mr Fuguromo why are you here? Where am I and most important is, where's Hasaki?". Questions following up by another question. "Wait Hasaki was here with you?" He looked at me confused. I was getting worked up and worried ,"So you're saying that you didn't rescue Hasaki?!" I said in a rude tone, I got more headaches from getting worked up and fainted again.
Once again Mr. Fuguromo woke me up, I looked at the clock it was 12:30am. He then proceed to ask me what had happened. I stuttered and kept quiet for a minute because the memories of Maya and what had happened earlier filled up my mind. It was a horrible sight and to think about. I cried, again. The dry tears on my face are now coated with the new tears I shed. Mr Fuguromo rubbed my back trying to comfort me, "Kid.. it's alright if you'd take some more minutes before you tell me. Whenever you're ready" He said. I wiped my tears and told him. The lingering question in my head was how did he know that there was a man? No, an assassin that were trying to hunt us down. He answered most of my question like he read my mind. I was astonished or maybe it was just a coincidence. He mentioned that after I walked away from his stall continuing my way back home, he felt a dark mana energy flowing from that man. Mr Fuguromo knows that he might be a Mage assassin because there is no other person than a Mage assassin who will use mana on hiding their abilities.
That night when the assassin was ready to start his move, Mr Fuguromo was already outside my apartment. He he tried to opened the door but it seemed like the door knob won't budge an inch so he tried something else which is ramming the door but his move didn't seem to work. It was like the door was already been sealed with a barrier, he looked around finding a spot so Mr Fuguromo could get in. Mr Fuguromo couldn't find an alternative and that left him with no choice but to ram the walls. Mr Fuguromo is well-aware that if he rammed the walls, the alarm would go off, cause panic for other neighbours and get arrested. Maya's scream was heard from the inside of our apartment. Without further delay, Mr Fuguromo used his magnetic power to attract all nearby metal items into his fist to destroy the wall. After that Mr. Fuguromo got in, he looked around analysing the surrounding and tried to understand what is happening. He saw Maya's corpse that has been stabbed by the assassin and my body on the floor. He went to check my pulse to see if I was still alive or not.
In addition, Mr Fuguromo took me outside and just like he said earlier he didn't see Hasaki or the assassin around the apartment. "I don't know if Hasaki is still alive or not, all I've been told is that he is missing?" I was distressed and looked down getting more anxious about my little brother. "Why, why, why!! It should have been me.. Maya and Hasaki should be alive not me". This has been such an awful day, I kept bawling my eyes out mourning for Maya and Hasaki. My chest hurts from crying and so are my eyes. Mr Fuguromo tried calm me down from crying and said, "Hey, don't say things like that. I'm sure your mother had a reason why she did something like that. She didn't want to leave you both alone but she didn't have any other option. Maya did not die in vain, remember that" he sighed. "Kazaki, did you know I've had the same situation as you did back then when I was young?" Mr Fuguromo said in a sad tone. The atmosphere had changed from sad, to sadder. I sobbed and looked at him. He hugged me to comfort me even more, whispering to me that it's going to be alright and he'd take care of me from this day on.
It was 7 o' clock in the morning. I woke up looking around and I thought to myself "Where the hell am I?". I tried to walk but body was still in pain and I haven't recovered yet. As I was walking around the room, I accidentally hit the bed frame and fell onto the ground. Mr. Fuguromo heard a loud thud coming from my room and he opened the room door and saw me on the floor. I can't help but be annoyed that asked me ridiculous question which is "Are you okay?" , "Yea right, you can already see that my body is in a bad shape and heard my body thudding down the floor" I replied in exhaustion and annoyance. Well, let's not make that the main topic shall we? Mr. Fuguromo supported my back and walked me to the kitchen and he took his medical kit and treated me once again. He served me food even though I'm not his biological son but he is treating me like his own son. Even though I am still heartbroken because of yesterday's incident, I tried to crack a smile and be grateful that someone is there for me. Next, he finished treating my wounds and we had breakfast. Apparently, Mr. Fuguromo wanted to bring me somewhere else? In my head, I was wondering "Where is he bringing me?", and I looked to the bright side thinking maybe he wants to show me something great.
Thereafter finishing breakfast, Mr. Fuguromo ordered me to go wash myself and suit up before we're off to somewhere. I asked him "Where are we going?" repeatedly, more than ten times but still, he answered calmly "You will know soon". Ugh, this makes me so anxious and I'm getting more impatient every second. I went outside and waited, waited for a long time.. "I'm so tired of this. When will be going?!", Mr. Fuguromo shouted from the inside of his house "Hey! Why are you waiting outside?". I was confused, I thought we were going somewhere. What in the hell is he talk about just now. I walked back into his house and he shouted at me once again, "Kazaki, here, downstairs". I went downstairs and I was at lost for words that he owns a "Light Transporter" also known as a teleporter. That machine is ridiculously expensive, but I'm still puzzled about where does Mr. Fuguromo want to take me and why did he chose to use the Light Transporter and most importantly how the hell did he get that? Who is he really? Questions kept filling up my head.
