Chereads / Psychic Hunter: Shiro / Chapter 23 - Desire

Chapter 23 - Desire

July 31st, 2018

The first day that Akira, went to school without the presence of Goro and Akihiko to torment him. From that day forward Akiras' mother would be the one to pick him up and drop him off from school.

On his first day, he was surrounded by questions. Students swarmed his table as they asked about what he did and showered him with compliments. Akira thought that this popularity would be temporary and so he thought nothing of it, however, he had discovered a group of 6 friends that all shared the same interests as him.

After the first 2 the popularity he got quickly ran out, however, he still retained the small group of friends that he found.

Then one week passed by instantly.

August 7th, 2018

Akihiko and Goro both returned to school, however, they remained neutral towards Akira. They didn't target him for revenge or any of the sort, but whenever they did meet, they only made angry expressions at him. Any bullying that once existed had completely ceased.

At the end of the day, Akira sat in the back of his mother's car as the two drove back home.

"So how was school today? Did those people do anything to you?", She asked.

Akira excitedly responded, "They left me alone but they give me these mean looks thought."

"I'll take it up with the school again!" She angrily said. "I'll make sure they get kicked out this time!"

"Wah?? Mom don't!"

As the two laughed in the car they eventually approached the underbelly of a bridge while continuing to drive. Atop it, stood two individuals dressed in black and wore ski masks. Despite the lengths that they took to hide their Identity, Akria immediately identified them as, Goro and Ahkihiko.

In Goros' hand appeared to be a heavy shot put ball, which he threw into the air and caught easily.

Akira quickly asked his mom to slow down the car but it was too late. The shot put ball was sent hurdling towards the car, before smashing into its front window shield. Although the window didn't shatter, it still caused the car to spiral out of control, before crashing into a nearby building.

Due to the crash, the two fell unconscious.

11:39 pm August 7th, 2018

Akira slowly woke up in the hospital bed. He was covered in light scratches but other than that he was completely fine. He got up and quickly ran into a hallway while shouting,

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOM??"

A group of nurses then gathered around him, asking for him to return to his room, yet he fought back as he cried.

Eventually, he calmed down and was escorted back to his bedroom yet he still remained shaken.

"Im sorry, but your mother didn't make it.", A doctor said.

Upon hearing this he broke down crying. He immediately jumped out the second-floor window, in an attempt to kill himself but miserably failed. The doctor tried to chase after him but it was useless.

Akira quickly ran away into the distance while the doctor retreated and called for help.

After hours of what seemed like running Akira stopped below a street light. He eventually fell to his knees while tears still fell from his face.

"Mom...", he weakly said as all emotion eventually disappeared from his eyes.

A distant voice from far away then said, "Do you desire revenge?"

Then suddenly a burst of rage exploded from in him as he slammed his fist against a lamppost.

He then shouted towards the sky, "THOSE BASTARDS I WILL KILL THEM! I WILL DEFINITELY KILL THEM! THEY WON'T GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE! THEY TOOK AWAY MY MOTHER FROM ME SO I WILL TAKE THEIR LIVES FROM THEM! I DON'T CARE HOW AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COST, AS LONG AS ALL MY ENEMIES ARE DEAD THEN I DON'T CARE."

"If it is desire you seek then I will grant you the power to satisfy your desires. With this power, I shall open up your third eye, and with it you will witness the birth of a new humanity.

Then suddenly a glass bottle fell from the sky that somehow gently landed in the palm of Akira's hand. In it was a numerous number of red pills that gave him an odd chill. But regardless he opened the bottle and quickly swallowed one of them. A sharp pain then erupted throughout his body, causing him to fall onto the floor while he experienced an insane amount of spasms.

Eventually, his heart completely stopped beating, as Akira finally died.

Then a man dressed as a butler while donning a white mask slowly levitated down from the darkness and landed in front of his body.

"The chances of a normal human becoming a psychic through that drug were low in the first place. I guess this was just another unfortunate accident", Asclepius said.

He reached out to grab the bottle which lay on the ground, but then suddenly he felt a strong and terrifying force vibrate through his body. He quickly jumped back expecting danger, but he saw nothing there.

A strange black liquid then flowed out of Akiras' corps which made distorted wails that sounded more like cries. Eventually, the substance gathered together and transformed into a head similar to a woman's, with long flowing white hair that surrounded the corpse.

"Akira..." it said with its distorted voice as tears fell from its eyes. They fell onto Akiras head causing the boy to miraculously wake up. Simultaneously the Spirit disappeared.

Akira gripped his head when he asked, "What happened, my head hurts really bad.."

Asclepius then thought, "Did that Kid use his psychic trait even in death? No that was the power of the spirit attached to him. But even then why was it there? It also possessed power over life and death and used it to somehow resurrect him. allowing the dead corpse to become a psychic."

Asclepius then walked over to Akira and extended a warm and welcoming hand.

"Since you have become a psychic, I'll help you exact your revenge. And in return, you will work for me."

Akira reached out his hand and shook it as the tears from his eyes finally dried up.

At the same time, Humanities end slowly approached.
