The energy was flowing throughout my body and I could control it perfectly. "Perfect, You mastered this in 15 days I am very impressed with your improvement. It took me over a month to perfect this practice you know" I was tired so I just nodded and got up. Daichi got up and we headed back to the house and but just before we reached the house we smelled an amazing smell. I opened the door and saw Hina in an apron, I didn't know such beauty existed. "so... cute" I accidentally blurted out, I didn't mean to say it so I covered my face and said, "Sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud!". I quickly walk to my room and close the door behind me, I sit down embarrassed. I take a pillow, put it against my face, and scream as loud as I can. I put the pillow down and Hina opens the door and says "Y-Yuki dinner is ready you wanna come?". I get up and slowly walk to the door, I was still embarrassed by telling her she was cute so I tried not to make eye contact with her. While I'm heading towards the table I see Daichi with a smug look on his face, Hina sees him and shoots some water at his face, I laughed.
I sat down and we all started eating, after a minute of silence Daichi said "You have perfected the control of your lightning energy in your body, when do you want to start combat training?". "tomorrow, I want to start tomorrow." I said. Daichi replied, "Very well then we shall start tomorrow, Hina when do you want to start training?" "Tomorrow!" Hina said enthusiastically "Alright so both of you want to start tomorrow."
We finished dinner and I helped clean up everything. After that I grabbed my coat and headed outside, I found and sat on a rock in silence looking up at the sky. Daichi came and sat next to me, and said "Beautiful isn't it", I kept looking at the sky until we saw a shooting star. That's when I ask "Am I gonna die... you know... fighting this sorcerer you said I would eventually have to fight, like how I died in that story you told us"... Daichi looked back up at the stars and said, "I can only look 30 days into someone future so I don't know that yet". I let out a big sigh then said "I'm just... I'm just scared, what if I die and I never get to see you guys again and Hina will break down." Daichi puts his hand on my shoulder and said, "Ayy don't worry kid everything will be alright because I'm teaching you, so don't worry". Then he said with a smug face again "Oh one thing I forgot to mention, you know how you and Hina like a cuddle with each other at night, yeh usually only lovers do that." I looked at him with a really embarrassing face and said, "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!" Daichi started laughing and said, "Nah it's fine I get it you were isolated from the world and everything so you wouldn't know". I got up and said, "I thought it was what friends did... ugh I'm gonna go back to the house I'm tired."
I walked over to the house all the lights were off, I walked over to my room and opened the door. Hina was sitting on the bed looking at a picture, she saw me and quickly hid the photo,
"What was that picture?"
"Y-YUKI! O-Oh its nothing, don't worry about it"
"Ok whatever, well I'm gonna go to bed"
"I'm gonna stay up for a bit I need to do something"
I was confused about what that picture was but I just ignored it, I took off my shirt and climbed into the bed, and laid down. I started to drift off to sleep, I woke up an hour later in the pitch black of the night but Hina's candle was still lit, I turned over to see Hina sitting at a desk writing something down. She closed her book and got up, I quickly and quietly turned back over so she didn't know I was awake. She blew out her candle and she walked over to my side of the bed and kneeled down. She lifted the hair from my forehead and kissed it, She walks over to her side and lays down next to me. She slowly turns me over so I faced up and she starts to hug me from the side. I open my eyes and say "You know, knowing Daichi is reincarnated and has a cracked face makes me wonder why his face is cracked" Hina is grabbing my arm and says, "Maybe you should go and ask him". I start to wonder what she was writing in her book, "What were you writing in your book?" Hina looks at me straight in the eyes and says "You'll find out eventually, don't worry. Let's just go to sleep for now."
Hina pulled me back down and my body is facing hers, she wraps her hands around me and pulls herself towards my chest, so I hug her back. She is comfortable as always, then the thought of Daichi saying only lovers do this thing, I just thought we were teasing me to make me feel embarrassed. I start to slowly fall asleep but then I turn my body towards the ceiling and look out the window and see another shooting star, "did you wish for anything" Hina said, her head was on my chest. I said "I wish that everything will be alright in the end", Hina laughs and said "Everything will be alright with me at your said" I flick her forehead and say "Just go to sleep, you airhead". Said, "You're the one not letting me". I turn around and face the window and close my eyes. Hina slips her hands from under my arms and hugs me from behind. I look out the window and I all of a sudden instantly fall asleep, but I'm still conscious. I can't move my body or open my eyes, everything was black and I see the snow start to fall from the sky again, but it's purple.
There was a man standing in front of me.
He looks kinda like me.
No... he is me!
