Chapter 17 - [Conflicted feelings]

[???]it seems we have found him

[???]are you sure?

[???]positive, he seems to be in a sleeping state of some sorts, but with a little help from our friends he will easily become pried awake and will have but no choice to join us

[???]if you are wrong, this matter will not be easily sustained and believe me you will pay dearly got it "friend"

[???]oh don't you worry i have special ways of dealing with him if he tries anything after all we know exactly what his weakness is, it is pretty obvious after all isn't it?

[???]you are one sick bastard, how'd you manage to join the council's personal guards any way with your sick attitude, you twisted old man

[???]a simple disillusion of personality, but on your part a fairly well played trick wouldn't you agree?

As two figure's spoke to each other a women with black hair and elegant persona and a crazed looking man donning the council's personal guards armour, ending the call the man walked off with a crazed grin towards the council halls and off towards the board meeting that was being directed as off this moment, since only a few of the council members know who and what is inside the cocoon.

[Yajima]whatever it is we must contain it first for the safety off the people

[Yuri]i say we pry it open and see what is inside

[Belno]i personally advise we take caution and be rid of it

[Hogg]for whatever reason we should leave this discussion to the chairmen

leaving the room quiet awaiting the chairman's response, turning there heads and awaiting for his words he finally stood up, looking over to the second chairman, they both nodded

[Gran]im sure most of you are not aware of what resides in that cocoon of an object however it appears that a man is in it, and he is no ordinary man, he wields magic with an unknown origin not told about in stories no background, he hasn't had a trace of existence since he was 14 years old

[Crawford]we know you all wonder why we have taken such extremes for this, however this person is the cause of the occurrence and situation of what happened on year X782 november 18

hearing this most members were flabbergasted and taken quite back, thinking about the situation

[Yajima]this young man i say (sigh) we should again let the council deal with this matter at hand

[Leiji]insane we should end the poor whelps life

[Michelo]we have already forsaken ourselves once with Siegrain and Ultear being traitorous scum

[Gran]ENOUGH, we shall discuss this next time at further length, any objections?

with no one responding both chairman left the scene, as the black cocoon stood within the middle of the council, no movement, as if harmless however already tried being tempered with many time's not able to leave a single scratch on it.Meanwhile with Haruta

[Haruta]where am i? my memories? my past? no i can't seem to remember it's as if everything is being wiped, i remember very few things, my past is in a very clear view, this world fairy tail? yes, i remember my guild members

with images like memories confronting him he stared with a dead expression, wondering what is happening as his memories were fainted but his past was brightened the pain, the emotion, the sorrow, the guilt, all the deaths he caused in this world, the blood that could turn the sea red, drowning in his own guilt he sat down covering his ears as voice's shouted at him "MURDERER/ YOU KILLED ME/ YOUR A MONSTER/ pl....please do...don't do it/ you are nothing but a monster" asking for forgiveness as he sat in his own torment apologising till suddenly it all went quiet

[???]why apologise?

[Haruta]who are you?

[???]im your sanity, your insanity, your sorrow, your pain, your anger, your guilt and your loneliness, im everything you hate, however im also everything you are, so technically you hate yourself now, actually no from my mutual understanding you've always hated yourself right?

[Haruta]i see, than you really are me, your what i am and you are what i don't want, but always have, and always will have, nothing else right?

[???]that is correct

[Haruta]i thought dying would make me forget everything, i thought death would rid me of all the past but i see it burden's me even in this world right?

[???]whose to say, after all i can't answer for you, i am you, i only know what you know

[Haruta]right....heh seems nostalgic, all the people here in this world are real now, and it doesn't faze me, i met god and it didn't faze me, i have magic and it doesn't faze me, i have.....killed and....it doesn't faze....me

[???]emotions truly are a wonderful thing are they not, wonder what they feel like

[Haruta]mmm.....probably feels nice, you know happiness?

[???]whatever your a depressed idiot anyway

[Haruta]yeah i guess so, hey quick question

[???]yeah what is it?

[Haruta]when will i wake up?

[???]oh right.....anytime, actually now is perfect seems no one is around

[Haruta]and how do you know this and why?

[???]right although i am you that shell protecting you is me, any who...bye bye

kicking him out the shell seemed to crack open, as it was the middle of the night and the magic council was empty only guards around no one noticed the commotion inside the hall, as it opened Haruta looked around, seeing no one in sight he quickly made his way to the large set off doors sensing around he felt extremely empty on magic power, not even able to go inside the shadows, he had to be sneaky about this.

[Guard1]man this sucks when is break?

[Guard2]shutup we just got back from our break 10 minutes ago

[Guard1]so what im tired and hungry

[Guard2]...

[Guard1]hey yo-

grabbing him from behind the other guard already seemed to be unconscious from Haruta, holding his head in an easy position to snap it.

[Haruta]yell and you die, try anything and you die, tell me how do i get out off here?

[Guard1]through those doors, go left and down the stairs at the end of the corridor, after that there will be the main hall go straight and there are large doors, thats where you wanna go

[Haruta]thanks (whack)

knocking him out he left for the directions sneaking past any guards or footage lacrama's, running down the main hall he heard guards approaching not able to find anywhere he got ready for combat, however it seems nothing happened they never came they just turned back around ..... leaving he dashed down the hall way, entering a large entrance way he spotted several guards and the set of doors also guarded by several guards.

[Haruta](gonna need a distraction)

leaving back the way he came he grabbed a vase from a pedestal finding a lacrama he quickly threw it at it dashing towards the hall way he hid behind the pillars as several guards rushed towards the noise, as he was scot free he ran out the doors and into the surrounding forest.

Next morning

[Gran]HE ESCAPED!?!!

[Guard1]yes he knocked us unconscious and left

[Crawford]FIND HIM BRING HIM BACK ALIVE

[Gran]call for the rune nights and have them search Fiore, no stone unchecked

[Guard2]Yes sir

leaving the guards were called for along with the Rune knights, with the magic council in an uproar trying to find Haruta, as he was currently entering the town of Amefurashi village as it wasn't rainy though since Juvia was not there

[Haruta]good i'll stay here for a while till the heat cools down then head back to fairy tail

resting in an uninhabited building he lay down resting on the bed looking at his condition along with clothes, for now he needs a mask to hide his appearance and he also needs new clothes as his are currently tattered and worn out, however he has no jewel on him

[Haruta]what a case for bad luck, im in a tight spot here

getting up he looked around the empty village, finding spare clothes, a little old and dusty but his size and perfect putting them on he made a face mask out of the spare clothe from his clothes

[Haruta]man i wish i had my coat and gear right now

placing the face mask over he left the house, finding a source of food, he managed to find a rather large bear, after killing it he went back to the village cooking it and eating it, afterwards he rested up for a bit, getting back his magic energy was the most important thing right now

2 weeks later

[Haruta]what is this? wait how did the council find me?

looking at a poster that was placed among a wall in the town of malba, seeing as he was now wanted he wondered if going back to fairy tail really was the best choice, he knows for upcoming events they can take care of them selves, and eventually everything will come to a positive insight however he needs to be there when the 7 year time skip takes place, but with the council on his tail he didn't know if that was possible without violence or getting them involved.

[Haruta]damn those council freaks

walking through the town many seemed quite wary of him, for one his appearance and two the aura he gave off, it may not have been an overwhelming force of magic energy but it was an aura of killing intent, not directed at anyone but felt, as if something was following or inside him.

[???]hey friend?

turning around Haruta noticed some suspicious looking men, Assassins? Bounty hunters or was it Mercenaries, maybe even members of different guilds.

[Haruta]and who exactly are you? speak or i will make you

[???]whoa don't need to be so hostile we just wanna ask some things

[Haruta]can never be too cautious right, especially with magic in this world so (BZZT)

coating himself in magic the man looked intrigued and amazed, a little happy too.

[???]seems i found the infamous Haruta, look it's not safe whipping that out here, no one may know your magic or who you are, even what you look like but the council does and i can help you

[Haruta]i don't need your help

[???]trust me your going too

[Haruta]and why should i trust you? i don't know your name, who you work for, even what you do, assassination, bounty hunter what answer first

[???]fine but follow me this isn't exactly the best place to talk

noticing all the onlookers and wondering whats going on Haruta retracted his magic still aware and with his guard up they left towards a far run down side of the town, the slums they would could it, with run down buildings and suspicious people staring at the two, Haruta released a vile murderous aura making most look away in fear, carrying on they met there mark a 2 story building however Haruta could sense people underground, some staring at him and some feint presences but still could determine there location.

[???](knock) (knock)

[???]whats the password

[???]for The Kill

opening the door they entered however as they did 3 people jumped out from no where going straight for Haruta as soon as this happened though he expected this releasing his magic power and shocking all 3 of them harshly almost killing them

[Haruta]now tell me why i shouldn't kill you right here right now?
