Chapter 6 - Is There Hope?

Hoshi's POV:

Two weeks passed by very quickly and with each day Akuma got more and more nervous. I'm still wondering what he is hiding. Ever since that day when I try to ask he changes the subject. I am just happy that Amai is coming, no offense to my brother. I love him. She's pretty and just so talented at what she does that it is insane.

Anyways today was a break day because Sumato and Datian believe that you shouldn't train every day. We train 4 days out of the week and three of them are break days. You can't push yourself too hard because then you'll get burnt out. I honestly don't wanna be like that again. It was horrible. I'm going to go talk to Akuma because I'm worried.

I see him in the dining room "Hey Akuma how are you?"

" I'm good Hoshi, how about you?"

" I'm excited for Amai to come, she is good at helping with the stuff that we need."

" Sure Hoshi, that's totally why you want to see her." *rolls eyes then laughs*

" I know you aren't talking Akuma."

" What's that supposed to mean?"

" You are ducking seeing Amai and Yashin. They are amazing people and they could help us out. What's wrong?"

" Hoshi, I don't want to talk about it."

" Ok, fine Akuma I won't ask."

" Nevermind Hoshi, forget about it, and don't try to ask again please."

"  I won't, I was just worried about you."

" Great, I'm not ready to talk about it."

"  Just know I'm here if you need me, Akuma."

" Thank you anyway, I'm going to my room. I'm serious, don't talk about it with anyone."

After I promised not to talk about it with anyone, Akuma left and went to his room. It was surprising that Akuma left so fast. I wonder what it is. Anyways, I walk to the door because someone was knocking and it was Amai and Yashin.

Amai gives me a big hug " Hi, long time no see. What has it been like 2 months?"

I laugh nervously trying to avoid eye contact with my brother. " Yea it has we've both been so swamped with stuff we couldn't see each other."

" Yea I've-"

My brother raises his eyebrow " Do I exist?" *Laughs*

Amai and I started laughing.

I gave him a hug " Of course you do."

" Are you sure? Your girlfriend right here seems more appealing to you."

" Yashin stop making fun of him."

" Ok ok I won't, I'm still going to go find Daitan and Sumato though."

As he says that Sumato comes into the room.

Sumato smirks " What's up Yashin and hey lovers."

"Sumato ?"

She shakes her head in approval and Amai starts laughing.

Daitan walks in " So Yashin when are you going to find someone so Sumato doesn't only make fun of Hoshi."

"Omg  yes, Yashin I can't only make fun of Hoshi."

I shake my head " So it seems like the teasing never stops." *Laughs*

" Nope never. Hehehehehe"

Yashin didn't answer the question and instead asked where his room was. They told him and before he went to his room we went over the training stuff. I don't understand why he didn't answer the question. I hope the stuff gets settled though. Sumato knew something was up and tried to ask Amai what was wrong with Yashin but she quickly dismissed it. We all thought it was weird but just dropped it.

The next day however Akuma had to go home to visit some grandparents for a couple of days. Also, Amai wanted us to work on my shapeshifting because I can only turn into so many things. Seriously it's sad but since my dad died I haven't been in the mood for stuff.

Amai said, "You okay babe?"

" Yea I'm good, sorry I just spaced out for a second. So what do we start on?"

"Ok so I'm going to say something and I want you to turn into it or at least try."

First, she said some animals turning into those was easy. After she went into people and that was a little challenging because I only do species, not specific people. Lastly, she said objects, and yea no.

" Am I able to turn into objects? No people with the power can."

" Hoshi you can't." *laughs*

" Wow you're just messing with me aren't you?"

" Yea you just seemed a little tense. Is there something going on?"

" We have a lot riding on me being able to use my powers right, and I honestly don't know how much time we have."

" Babe you're thinking a little too much. It's honestly going to stress you out."

We took some deep breaths together and it helped a little. I was able to turn into a witch, and after that, I tried more specific people. Amai gave me some pictures of people and asked me to turn them into them. I only managed one but she cheered me on either way.

" Yay I'm so happy for you we made progress."

*Clap*

*Clap*

*Clap*

" I'm so amazed that you got him to do it because all the trainers' mom got him didn't work. I guess we didn't hire the girlfriend."

I balled my face up " Yashin could you stop."

" There's only one way as an older brother to show that I'm proud."

Amai and I rolled our eyes and laughed. Soon after that Daitan and Sumato came in. Daitan looked more worried.

"Where did my brother go?"

I looked confused. " He told me he went to go see y'all's grandparents."

" So that's why he didn't tell me. They probably wanted to see him alone, but I'm mad I couldn't go with him."

" He will be fine I'm sure of it. I mean it is Akuma after all."

She shrugged and left. This is giving me a feeling that their grandparents aren't so good. I'm just going to check on Akuma to clear my bad thoughts.

Me: Hey how are you doing? It's been a while since you left.

Akuma: I'm fine, my grandparents aren't coming till tomorrow.

Me: Did you tell your sister how you're doing? She seemed really worried about you.

Akuma: Yeah I did. Anyways do you want to check the box for the next clue when I get back?

Me: Of course I do, we haven't checked it in a month.

Akuma: Ok hope everything is going well with your training with Amai.

Me: I made a little bit of progress. She was so happy that she could help me.

Akuma: Awww that's so cute I'm happy for you. Talk to you later. I got some stuff to do. :)

Me: Ok talk to you later and thanks.

Akuma: No problem.

Welp, that made me feel a little better. I went to hang out with everyone and eat. The whole thing was mostly teasing me and Amai. What's going to happen maybe scary but I got people to back me up.

Dad, I wish you were here with me but I know I'll talk to you again. I'm really mad you couldn't meet Amai. She's amazing. I'll talk with you about her the next time I pass out. *laughs*

Anyways I don't know what his grandparents are going to do or say.

I wonder what's going on with Akuma. I'm a little worried.......
