Chereads / Shadowed Enchantment (RE:RELEASED) / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Trust

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Trust

"Hopefully he trusts you enough to fully help him."

What exactly does she mean by that, how messed up is his past? It can't be worse than mine, right?

"He'll trust us I'm sure of it, we are his friends after all!"

"Look Makino we are all his friends but that doesn't matter right now because, when Tezuka wakes up, he is going to be furious."

I wonder if I'm able to maybe get away into his mind while he is unconscious, try to reach him from the inside.

Makino thinking of every possible situation to save Tezuka, I don't want to hurt him I know that I'll wind up killing him if we end up fighting."

"Hey Makino, you, okay? Looks like something is troubling you."

With an angered look on his face Makino turns towards Saya.

"Saya I'm fine, just thinking of ways to save Tezuka without hurting him."

"Makino there is nothing you can do to help him."

"Don't give me that crap! Me and you both know that in some way we can help Tezuka, there is no way I'm going to fight him if he tries to attack us."

Makino slowly breaking out screaming and crying.

"I'll end up killing him... I'm... I'm way too strong for him." Tamaki approaching Makino giving him a hug.

"Toru it's ok look I'm here for you, you need some rest, we will save Tezuka you need rest not just for your body but for your mental state as well."

"I don't want you to lose yourself over this, it's nonsense Tezuka will be fine."

"Hey Saya! We need someone to keep an eye on Makino while he rests, I don't need him going out of his way to try and help."

"So got anyone in mind?"

"I can see if Ishikawa would want to, but I know there is bad blood between all of you and her." Sora comes in with something in mind.

"What about Suzuki, she's trustworthy and powerful enough to make sure Makino doesn't go anywhere."

"I suppose she could work, but... I need to have a talk with her first." Who's, Suzuki? I'm wondering powerful enough to stop me, bring it on.

"Makino, Tamaki let's all head back it's getting late."

"Here let me open a portal for us."

We all go through and end up back inside the school.

"Tamaki and I are off to bed, we'll see you guys tomorrow."

"See ya guys I'm going to look for Suzuki, Sora go off to bed I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay goodnight sis."

ok now where could Suzuki be? I guess it couldn't hurt to check her room, she probably is off training though.

I'll go check the training room first, she's probably practicing her mana control again.

"Uhh... why are these hallways so long I hate it!"

Saya approaches the training room seeing, Suzuki in the middle of the room meditating with and white aura flowing around her.

I knew she would be in here, but she'll kill me for bothering her.

"Here goes nothing."

Knock, knock...

"Hey Suzuki... can we talk?

"Oh, Kobayashi what's up, ya need something?

"Actually yeah, it's about Makino you think you could keep an eye on him for us just for a day we need to handle something, and it looks like he will explode in rage if he doesn't get rest."

"Saya Kobayashi, I have no problem helping you, but you know how I feel about him."

"I know, but it's not his fault he was a kid. He had no control over that type of power."

"Maybe you should tell him, I think it's time."

"He doesn't even know about me anymore, after the incident I wiped his memory of me."

"Then give him that memory back, it's time he knew his sister!"

I knew this would happen.

"I don't want him to relive that painful experience."

"Emi, look we have been friends since forever and you know I wouldn't go against the way you feel, but he is old enough to understand. The way you feel against him, just give it some though while you watch him tomorrow... please."

"I'll give it some thought, if it comes up, it comes up if it doesn't it doesn't. Don't nag me about it either."

"Thank you, Emi, meet us at the medical center tomorrow morning and we'll give you, your brother...

Toru Makino."

I'm really tired I need to get my ass to bed.

"Have a good night, Emi."

"Same to you Saya."

Hopefully she tells him, and things go smoothly I don't want another problem to be caused from this.

I really do hate these halls; screw it I'm running to my room.

As I reach my room, I see Ishikawa passing by saying something towards me.

"Goodnight sweet girl."

I turn around confused as she continues to walk past me.

"The hell does that mean! Ishikawa!"

Whatever, she's a weird person.

I go to my bed reading my book, awaiting the next morning."

"Chisa what time is it?"

"It's eight o'clock, we slept like babies last night."

"So early... why."

"Well, we gotta drop you off that's why."

Who do they think they are treating me like a kid.

"Get dressed come on we gotta go Toru!

"I'm not a kid ya know, right."

"Then why do I have to tell you when to get ready every day."

"Leave me alone, I like my sleep."

"Who's this Suzuki girl we are meeting again, her name sounds familiar."

"She's one of the strongest people in the school, maybe that's were you heard it."

One of the strongest ok I'll see what she's about.

"You think Tezuka is doing good."

"Toru! stop thinking about him, we're going to take care of him."

"Hey Saya, Suzuki."

Suzuki lifts her head from looking at some picture it looks like.

"I'm Makino and this is Tamaki, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you to Makino and Tamaki, so I take it you're the one I'm babysitting Makino."

"I guess so, even though I don't like it."

"Makino come on we're going. I have a way for you to relax."

"Oh, okay leaving already, let me say goodbye to Tamaki." I have Tamali a hug goodbye telling her "I'll see you later."

"You're coming with me to the training room."

"Follow me."

"So, do tell me about your childhood, was it a good one."

"Not really, when I was little, I wound up accidentally killing my parents, ever since then I hid my self away and tried my best to stay away from everyone."

"Then I met Tezuka and Tamaki which are my closest friends now."

Why am I telling her all of this, I don't even know anything about her... but I somehow feel safe around her.

"I'm sorry for your loss of your family, my father was killed when I was young too. I guess we have a little in common."

"I've I had to live with my mother till I got here, and she is a real hassle."

"Here come sit in the middle of the room."

"I'm going to check your memory really quick; I want to see what you remember and if you are lying to me."

"Okay will do."

Time to, "RECOVER!"

"Do you feel anything Makino?"

Is he crying? "Are you okay, Makino?"

"I had a sister, but she wasn't around a lot. You see my father had another kid with some woman he was having an affair with, so I didn't really get to see a whole lot."

"But when she was around, we were inseparable... true siblings."

"Suzuki are you crying?"

"You remember, you remember!"

"Tor...I don't want to put you through this pain, and I should have came and found you sooner, to give these memories back to you."

"Toru Makino, I'm your sister it's me Emi, I know you might hate m..."

"Emi, it's you, you've gotten so big I can't believe it, that's why I feel so safe."

As the two siblings hug it out, they cry in the medical room.

"There is nothing we can do! That's what I'm trying to tell you people!"

"Kazuo Tezuka is dead."

"We have tried everything possible; we have no hope, you see that faint green glow around him, that's his aura fading, he has less than hour left to live."

"Go get your friends so they can come and say goodbye."

"Saya, I have to call Makino, I know he won't be calm about it, but he has a right to know."

"Let me check with Suzuki first."

I just got a text from Saya. I wonder what she wants.

"Toru! We have to go!"

"Come with me."

We made our way back to the medical room, seeing Tezuka with a darkened green aura around his body.

"Tezuka... no, no, no! This can't be!"

"Toru, calm down... look at your big sister."

"Toru! Everything is going to be fine; he'll be okay."

"I'm going to heal him; I need everyone out of this room, nobody should be able to see me understand me!"

"Everybody get out now!"

I lift my sleeve up revealing the burn scar left from when Makino killed our family.

"This scar has let me become powerful, knowing that I survived such a painful feeling of almost being killed."

I look over Tezuka putting all me body strength onto him letting my mana flow into his brain to go and clear the curse from it.

Why is it not working, "I need this to work... shit!" Try harder... the aura is getting lighting that's a good sign.

I hear his heart beating. It's time to restore him back to normal.

"Restore: REVIVAL PARADOX."

Tezuka looks over with a grin.

"Who's that hot looking girl I see."

"Do you want to actually die this time; I just saved you and this is the first thing you say."

"Everyone come in I have a surprise for you!"

"Tezuka! Your alive!"

"Tezuka, I can't believe you're actually awake!" Saya exclaims, her eyes filled with tears of relief.

"We were so worried about you."

Tezuka blinks, trying to gather his bearings.

"What happened? How long was I out?"

Makino steps forward, concern etched on his face.

"Tezuka, you've been unconscious for just over a day. We've been doing everything we can to help you."

Suzuki, who had been silently observing, chimes in.

"I assisted in your recovery. I'm Suzuki, nice to meet you." Tezuka looks at Suzuki, grateful for her help.

"Thank you, Suzuki. I appreciate everything you've done for me." Makino nods, his voice filled with determination.

"Tezuka, we need to talk, but for now, let's focus on getting you back on your feet. We're here to support you."

Tezuka glances at Makino, sensing the seriousness in his tone.

"Alright, Makino. I trust you. Fill me in on what I've missed once I'm fully recovered."

Tezuka's brows furrow in deep thought. "I never imagined something like this would happen. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from."

Makino squeezes Tezuka's shoulder reassuringly. "I understand how overwhelming it must feel, but remember, we're not alone in this. We have each other, and together, we'll find the answers and overcome any challenges."

Tezuka takes a deep breath, finding strength in Makino's words. "You're right, Makino. I won't let this setback define me. I'll do whatever it takes to protect myself and those I care about."

Makino nods in agreement. "That's the spirit, Tezuka. We'll support you every step of the way, just as you've always supported us."

"Get some more rest you need it, we'll give you another day, then we are going to figure out what had happened to you."

"Thank you, Makino that means a lot."

"Just one more thing before we leave, you see Suzuki here."

"Yeah, the girl who saved me, what about her."

"Well, she's actually my sister."

"I thought you had no family, you said that yourself didn't you?"

"Turns out after my incident when I was little, she erased my memories of her to make it that I never had a sister."

"Isn't that a little messed up."

"She had her reasons though, well we'll get more into that when you are all better, so go rest." I always do this I never stop talking, I guess that's one of my bad habits.

"Hey Makino, I'll see ya around."

"See ya later, man."

"Suzuki, guys as much as I want to stay here and hangout with the rest of you there is something I have to attend to so, I'll see you guys later too."

"Makino are you okay now?"

"Sis, I'm fine I'll contact you or Tamaki if something happens and I go out of control."

"Fine but, you better!"

I leave the medical area going to a empty room to call Grim out. "Come forth, Grim."

"Master, something happen?"

"Progress, show me progress, I want to see my world."

"Master we are still working hard on it and it's nowhere close to finished."

"Grim! Just bring me."

"If you insist, Master."

We go through the Grim's rift entering my alternate world.

"So, Grim why is this world still almost empty?"

"We've come to a conclusion that, creating this world is not a easy task, and that you should..."

"Stop.'

"What did you just say Grim? You're telling me to stop? You?"

"Why should 1 stop, give me a valid excuse to which I should stop creating a new world."

"Master, calm down. I in fact do have a reason, you just haven't actually thought about it."

"Makino, your creating this world, that you would rule but, what exactly are you ruling?"

"There is nothing here except us other worldly beings."

"You think this is all pointless! All of this! Pointless!"

"Yes, I do."

"Makino, don't forget I was once human to I have a brain, I'm not stupid."

"I've been thinking, what if you would to take over the current world you live on."

"You could slowly take over Japan, and then the whole world, be the superpower that runs that world."

"Ya' know for someone that was brought back into this world by me, you would show more respect to me."

"I do understand you though, and I do like your idea."

"The only problem with this plan is you, Makino. You still haven't recovered all of your mana, so that means this is going to be a very long wait."

"This is my fault? You know what I'll own up to that."

This guy actually makes good points he's not stupid like Ingrell, but that's expected coming from someone who used to be human.

"Grim, I'm gonna go home. I'm talking that idea of yours."

"Do you have an estimate on how long you think this might take?"

"Depends on how long it takes for you to recover all of your mana, and how ever your life goes."

"I'd say about five to two to five years."

"I guess patients is key, I'll have to wait then."

Plenty of time to get stronger, plenty of time to create tools for the take over.

"See ya, Grim."

"Bye, Makino."

I need to figure out away to recover all of that mana from back then, I still don't have it all back.

Being figured out would also, be something I need to avoid. I don't need someone reporting me, I can't afford to have someone know about me.

"Staying low and having a normal life should be fine for now, no one would expect anything from me if I do that."

"That's true Makino, that's very true we'll take over at the slowest possible pace ever, and when everything is in pieces I'll… no we'll come in a rebuild everything."

"Who said that?"

There is no one around must have been my thoughts slipping again.

"He's fucking crazy, I like that. It's making me feel wet!"

No one will ever except this person to be some type of psychopath.

"But I Mina Ishikawa have been honored to witness his complete self destruction."

"Hey you Crazy bastard I see you talking to yourself. Makino!"

"Ishikawa?! shit did she hear me, she knows, she knows!"

Punching the wall leaving a hole right through it, panicking that Ishikawa found out everything. I should've have been so reckless.

She reaches her hand out towards me and speaks.

"So your just as crazy as I am, huh. What a surprise. How about we work together and I won't have to tell anyone what I just saw."

"Why would I work with you, I could just kill you right now."

"Me and you both know that you won't, your flames are way to loud for that. Also, if you kill me then this video of you freaking out will be sent to Tamaki."

"Makino, please try to kill me, give me a reason to ruin your life." This brat, blackmailing me things just can't ever go right. Damn it!

"T'll bite, what's your game."

"I have three requests, you help me fill them I'll delete the video."

"Fine but I refuse to kill anyone."

"One, give me mana to guarantee my safety from anyone who wants to try and kill me."

"Two, stay away from Saya for the next two days."

"These don't seem that crazy, these are very easy."

"That's what you think."

"Three, sleep with me and cheat on Chisa Tamaki."

"Leave Tamaki out of this, why should I sleep with you. I thought you hated me and everyone around me."

Ishikawa rubs her and on my face, then going in for a kiss. Then holding me head to the point that I cannot move it.

"Do you understand how, hot all that crazy talk was. There is no way I wouldn't want a piece of that, how lucky of Tamaki that she gets to have you all to herself."

"Does she know about this side of you."

"No, nobody knows I'd like to keep it that way."

"Then sleep with me."

"Just one time?"

"Just once."

I'm sorry Tamaki, I truly do love you but I don't want you to find out about this side.

This is for you Tamaki.

"When should I meet you at your room."

"Its one o'clock now so right after Tamaki falls asleep come over I'll be ready for you."

"I'll see you later then don't think to much about it."

"Bye, crazy boy!"
