His eyes were like mine, amber with a hint of blue. He was around 4 inches taller than me making him six foot 4. His face was cracked like Daichi's face so he was just resurrected, then I just realized that if the stone needed my lightning for him to be resurrected then he has to be... ME! His face was fully revealed down to the middle of his neck. I stared gracefully at his... no my face. I didn't realize what was happening before my eyes and I had no idea how to react to this. I just kept staring until his full body was fully revealed. He was much more muscular than me and his hair was long and silky, like mine. "Are you me" I just blurted out of nowhere. "Indeed I am", He sounded like me but with a slightly deeper more toned voice. His jawline was more chiseled than mine and his body was better looking than mine. "How old are you," I asked, he looked at me in the eyes and said, "I'm around 19 in this body". I looked amazed as I walked up to him. I lifted his shirt and started poking his abs, he had an embarrassed expression on his face. "Is this what my body will look like in three years?" I asked, "Yes it will be, I am from the future not from the past". I looked up at him confused, "The future", he looked down at me and said "Yes I am but I cannot say anything knowing it will change something", I replied, "But wouldn't this encounter change something", he shook his head and said, "Nope... this same encounter happened to me to so I had to do this, it will make sense later don't worry."
I feel a disturbance of wind right behind me, I look behind me and I see Daichi with his hand on Hina's shoulder, "Well I guess this is my time to head out". He looked at Daichi and smirked at him, all of sudden a strike of lightning struck him and he disappeared. I looked up and it was as clear as day. "Impossible," Daichi said, I looked back and I see he looked like he just saw a ghost. "What happened," I asked Daichi, "He was faster than my time power could handle, I tried to trap him in my time bubble but he was able to move out of it like it wasn't even there, he was faster than anything I've ever seen". Daichi looked at me and said, "Who was he, he seemed to know who you were". "I shouldn't say, let's just get back to the house. Daichi grabbed both our shoulders and we were back at the house. "Let's start training it's been a while," I told Daichi. We walked for a minute and found a flat space of snowy land. "Alright try to bring your flow of lightning up to the palms of your hands," Daichi said. I relaxed my body and felt the flow of lightning running through my body, I directed the flow into my palms. I felt the lightning constantly circling in my hands, I look at my hands and I see the flow of lightning lighting up my hands like a glowstick. Daichi picked up a rock and said "Try to balance this rock carefully on your lightning and bring it to yourself". I try to direct my lightning towards the rock but the lightning just exploded in front of me. "You've got a lot of work to do this next month," Daichi said, I sighed and tried and tried again but kept failing.
It's been 3 hours and I've made very little progress, Daichi froze the stone in place instead of catching it midair, so far I can control my lighting a little bit. When I step on my lightning it's easier because my foot gave it more stability and control when in contact so I thought this was gonna be easy until I learned that. The second day I hadn't made any progress, unfortunately. We were having dinner at the house so I asked Daichi "If the life-force of me from the past is in me now, how come I can't control my lightning properly?". Daichi finished chewing and cleared his throat, "It's been around five hundred years since your lightning was properly used, you were a true master of lightning that has been sealed away so right now you are kind of a... a roughed - no a tarnished blade, so slowly with training and mastery you will be the sharp blade you always were. Don't worry you will get there before it happened." Daichi realized what he said and his eyes widened. In my head, I thought about what he meant by "before it happens". Hina dropped her fork and said "What...what do you mean by... 'before it happens" . He looked me in the eye and said "This a very important topic no one must speak of so you must not tell anyone, If you tell anyone... I'll have to kill you and don't think I'm joking when I say this" He looks at Hina and Hina had a traumatized and scared look on her face. Hina got up and brought her food with her in her room.
I have never seen Hina so scared before. We both finished our food and Daichi said "Remember you must not tell anyone this, you know what will happen if you do"
I listened to Daichi and I felt almost traumatized after hearing this. I got up and cleaned up without saying a word, I had a blank expression on my face the entire time. Daichi headed outside so I finished and went into my room, Hina was sitting on the bed anxiously waiting for me. She says how my face looked so she asked "I know you can't tell me but are you OK". I started crying thinking about what he told me, I started breaking down, Hina hugged me tightly and put my head against her chest. I was crying in Hina's arms, I was so vulnerable the way I was at that moment. This was the first time I've ever felt like this in my life. Hina started crying with me like she could feel my pain, we were both crying on each other. Hina looked beautiful when she cried, her eyes glistened when she cried and her hair was beautifully smooth and she smelled like a rose. I hugged Hina back, we were both kneeling on the floor crying to our heart's content. What was Hina even crying for she doesn't even know what Daichi told me? while crying I said In my shaky voice "Why are you crying, there is no reason for you to cry". Hina wiped her tears and said, "I wanted you to share your sorrow with me". I started crying more and my voice got louder "Why do you care so much about me! I'm just a weal person that was abandoned as a child, I haven't done anything for you so why do you care for me so much!"
Hina's face started turning red she stood me up and said "Because Yuki-" Hina pulled me closer to her face and there was a warm and soft sensation on my lips. I could feel both her soft hands on my cheeks, I could feel her light breath on my face. I realized now that Hina was my first kiss, her tears kept coming, her eyes were closed so I closed mine. I realized my feelings for Hina at this moment, all these memories of her started racing through my head, I realized that I loved Hina more than I realized. I brought my hands up and pulled her closer to me by her back. We were both still crying while kissing, it was embarrassing but I wasn't even thinking properly because of How Hina felt in the moment. I pulled back and hugged her. The words "I love you Hina" just came out of my mouth, I didn't mean to say it it just came out like that. Hina mover her hands down and hugged me back and whispered in my ear "I love you to Yuki... I've loved you for a while now, I was waiting until you finally returned those feelings.". I closed my eyes and smiled "Now I know why you always try to hug me while we sleep at night, you don't hold back do you" Hina laughed, his laugh was the cutest and most pure laugh one can ever hear.
She has a smile and a laugh I must protect at all cost... even if it risks my life for it.
