Part 1 - Akari's memories.
We didn't walk much further than a block from my house, when Aki finally collapsed, she fell to her knees on the ground.
-Aki honey, tell me what you remembered....
-Nooo... stop it...
Akari again was summoning that wind around her, the sky that was clear, now was filled with clouds.
-Hikaru, what's going on, where is this wind coming from? It's like him.... when Matsuo happened.
-It's Aki remembering when she was killed?
A gust of wind almost knocked me down, as always in these moments Akari was palpable, and how do I know, well this time even though I haven't touched it, the patterns were always the same.
-Aki listen to my voice... don't be afraid this time.....
Akari was still intensifying her wind, even so it was nothing compared to the other time, so I could approach her, Emi was worried because she didn't understand well what was happening, she only knew that Akari was the origin.
-...I'm going to protect you!!!!
Akari's eyes fixed on me, the wind stopped suddenly, I ran towards her, I didn't even stop and jumped on her to hug her, causing us to fall on the snow, I squeezed her tightly.
-Akari, I would like to take more advantage of this moment, but I need you to tell me what you remembered.
Aki shivered, she smiled at me while we were still lying on the ground, she kissed me passionately despite her fear.
-Hikaru... you look pretty weird... kissing someone I know is Akari, but I see you move your tongue in the air... it's supposed to be a kiss... not a mouth study..... - Emi said looking away with a blushing face.
Aki stuck her tongue out at Emi, despite that she was still shivering a little.
-Remember that she can't see you Aki, but we got carried away... and I don't think you should play me as a kiss when you did the same mouth test on me Emi?
Emi blushed even more and gave a bad pretext that things were different, but you know what she said made things worse.
-Speaking more seriously that you remembered don't tell me that Sou.... is...
-No Hikaru, I don't remember even his face, but when I saw Sou's white gloves, I relived the moment when I was attacked, at the beginning it was a single stab, that gave me a shock in my whole body, I felt how my mind started to sleep, and then he appeared, almost like a monster the same red eye that I described you from my nightmare, it was huge, he took the dagger away, then he cut a finger with it.....
-Aki, it's not necessary to tell us more, I imagine what's next, I just want to ask you one thing, that thing did something else with you... like what Aerosol told us they did with Peach.
Akari understood what I was telling her on the spot, she clung to my chest so I wouldn't worry.
-No, he didn't do that kind of thing with me... the last thing I remember was a voice I heard "This is Venus.... reports the situation mars", after that I fainted or died, then I remember that you appeared in the room, but for some reason I can't remember the face of my attacker, but I don't think it's Sou, your brother is slender and tall, whoever attacked me, he was much more massive and even taller than your brother.
-I understand Aki.
I helped to lift Aki, when I did it, she became disembodied again.
I looked at Aki trying to tell him, that nothing was wrong.
-What did Akari say brother.
-She said it wasn't Sou, the white gloves scared her, that made her remember her attack, but at least we know we're looking for someone potted and taller than Sou, Emi.
-Aki anything else you remember besides that.
I passed her her cell phone so she could communicate directly with Emi, as we continued walking to our destinations.
Fantasmita (Akari): No, it's just confusing, but I didn't see anything more identifying than that.
Sexy (Emi): At least that he's taller than Sou is a good clue since that stiff is one meter eighty-eight centimeters tall, so there shouldn't be many people left, as long as he's still in Arekkaido.
Nibbler (Hikaru): She's right, that's something we could find in our favor to find the culprit or Dos Caras.
Sexy (Emi): I'll see what I can find with the help of my boss, but I can't promise anything, besides I have to talk to her about the shark girl that you told me about.
Phantom (Akari): I hope that with the height it will help at least to find him. :(
Part 2 - The apology
We were in the classroom, there was a lot of noise since it wasn't time for class to start yet.
I was surprised that Asuna hadn't arrived yet, Aki was strangely calm after her little anxiety attack happened, if I could call it that.
-How are you Nishimura, are you ready for tomorrow's war?
-Hi Yukiro... War?
-I guess Asuna hasn't told you yet then, tomorrow won't be as quiet as your first two days, we'll start with the design, the quiet you saw will be a storm now.
-With that you're really making me worry Yukiro.
-Well you should do it... have a piece of gum Nishimura.
-Thank you Yukiro.
She left, I popped the gum in my mouth.
Curious, peach flavor.
-I don't like that you're getting so close to Yukiro, Hikaru.
-I find your jealousy more and more tender, Aki.
-I wouldn't be so jealous if your friend wasn't so bold with you, and I wouldn't even mention your sisters.
I had nothing to say to her because she was right.
-Yui!
A loud scream was heard at the entrance of the room, it was Aiba Akimoto Yui's sister, she approached her sister, grabbed her arm very angry, then they started to approach me.
Wait, don't tell me that Kaede told that to her girlfriend?
-Sister let me go, you're hurting me....
-Shut up Yui, what you did....
Aiba came directly to where I was, I forced Yui to bend down in front of me, forcing her with her own arms.
-Apologize for what you did to Hikaru's girlfriend.
-Aiba, what are you talking about, I don't understand anything, I don't even know that he has a girlfriend.
Aiba closed his eyes as if it hurt him to say what he wanted to say.
-Her name was Akari.
Yui now understood everything her sister meant.
-I would have liked to meet you differently Hikaru, I also apologize for not noticing my sister's behavior.
Yui did not understand well what was happening, I reproached him for a second because he was so familiar with me, but his sister gave him a withering look, which made him listen to her. For me all this was uncomfortable, everyone was watching us.
-I... I'm sorry for everything I did to...
I looked at Aki and she was much more uncomfortable than me, and nobody could see her.
Aiba didn't expect my answer, in fact she got nervous, she immediately let go of her sister who ran out of the room.
-I didn't want things to go that way, Kaede told me what my sister did, that's not right, I was worried because.... You know.
-Aiba, if you want later we can talk calmer, but I think your sister needs you now, what you did was wrong, none of my sisters would have done that to me, I'm sure of that, go support her if you allow me that advice and apologize.
She apologized for her trouble, very embarrassed, she left and when she was at the door she apologized again.
Damn, now I am the center of everyone's attention, I don't like that.
Asuna came through the door, she was very agitated, she came straight to me and jumped on top of me, she almost knocked us off my chair, she was squeezing me, which caused me pain in my ribs.
-What's wrong Asuna?...my injuries.....
She didn't loosen the hug, Aki was protesting to let go of me, not because of jealousy but because she realized that she was hurting me.
-Hikaru blood... my days... still...
-I understand, you're going to be fine, do you want me to call Mr. Marias?
-Dad doesn't come back until Tuesday... in the evening, I'm afraid...
-Can you loosen the hug a little bit Asuna, you're hurting me.
She moved her arms towards my neck, the worst thing was that even the looks were still on me, I looked at Aki.
-Asuna, do you want to stay tonight with me and Aki?
-I really can go to your house, I remember that Camila didn't like me going there.
-Don't worry about that, besides, soon I won't have to worry about that anymore.
Baki looked at us annoyed, I didn't blame him, it hadn't been long since he was rejected by Asuna, so I guess he must still have feelings for her, but there wasn't much he could do.
-I'll need to pick up some things from my house, like my medicine and clothes.
