After a usual day at the park my friends and I went home to rest for that day. Because the day was so eventful we were all stuck thinking about what happened. Rika was the smartest out the trio and she was the most worried especially since I acted weird on that particular day. When we all parted ways Max was lost in thought
Being a professional Martial artists Max had the abilities to see auras of unique people because of his intense training or at least that was what he told us and out every one he knew or had met before I had the darkness one of them all
That weird feeling I felt from Rick and the aura around him got darker when I touched him it was like he someone else entirely, it reminded me of him. Should I ask Rick about it, no!! It's clear it was not feeling well I should give him some time but what if I wait too long and it's becomes a big deal I'll be too late
" Damn it all this is so frustrating! " Max shouted his thoughts out loud and he forgot that he was still walking in the streets at night. There went many people passing by and the area he passing in was filled thugs and all kinds mischievous people, who would do anything for money and a good time
Max's shouting made him get the attention of a couple of thugs standing in the sidewalk " hey lookie what we have here, he's a loud one but he's a looker I wonder how much the old hags will pay for this one " one man with a scary face said while checking out Max
" hey moron shut it I'm trying to think here " Max said angrily as he continued walking then the scary man grabbed his hand with a serious look on his face
" Well, well, well a little man with a big mouth, doesn't know he is walking and acting big in our turf but it's fine I like em feisty " the scary man said, he buffer and more talkative than others so he appeared to leading them
Max sighed at the moment the man grabbed his hand then he said " you are not worth my time so let go my hand right now " the big man started laughing and all his friends laughed along then his got serious and said " you starting to annoying me little insect it looks like you don't understand your situation "
Seeing how the situation was unfolding, more thugs started to appear out of nowhere and all the people hurried out the streets despite all that Max just smiled and then he said " you're the ones who don't understand your situation morons, now you've got my attention so let's play "
" You little brat " the scary looking man said as threw a punch with a lot of force, as the punch was about to hit Max he slightly moved his head and the punch scratched his cheek all of the other thugs grasped at seeing what happened
" What here is going on, that kid just dodged takie's lightning punch, I'm I dreaming " the thugs mumbled among themselves. " What are you doing you idiots this is no ordinary kid attack him " the scary looking man said
All the thugs started walking towards Max with a bats and chains ready to gang up on him and the moment they all circled around him he disappeared " what the hell where did that brat disappear to, he just vanished out of nowhere " the man said among the group and the moment he finished talking shallow hole like mark started to appear on their bodies
Then they started to feel intense pain and they all fell down one by one and Max was already walking away with his hands in his pockets " just a few punches and they are all down they were all talk but no bite, I'll just rest for today and leave my problems to the future me " Max said as he went home
After the day at the park I took a taxi to go home and when I arrived i found my sister watching television " hey little sis I'm back and how was your day " I said. In that moment I felt sad and happy at the same time that got to see her even if it was in a dream
I can't I really can't believe it that's her that's my little sister s-she is sitting there real there I thought I'd never see her again this
" Welcome back and I had a great day I hope you didn't get yourself in trouble " she said as she welcomed me and her attitude was exactly as remembered " well my day was great and a bit eventful " I said and before I could finish talking she replied with " ehh a bit eventful, so you got yourself into trouble again geez you are hopeless without me "
Hearing her say that made my heart feel lighter and it made me a bit happy so as just chuckled as I patted her head then I said, " yeah you right little I'm hopeless without you ". Her face turned red then she said, " w-wh-what wrong with you brother what are you acting weird "
This sure takes me back and make me miss her even more if Hibiki were here everything would be complete even if it's for this moment
" No I'm alright anyways I'm hungry and I'm too tired to make so I'll just order takeout food " I said as I went to the table and grabbed the house phone, at that time I didn't have a phone or I see the in having so Hibiki got a phone and always left it on the table.
I named it the house phone and I'm sure the name was self explanatory. I was sure Hibiki bought it with other intentions in mind but we normally used it for ordering food and talking to Hibiki when she was out on business
I ordered miso ramen after it was delivered we ate for the night and went to bed, I got my room then i threw myself on the bed and I started thinking
Today was sure was full of interesting event, I'm not too happy about the blacking and spacing I just hoped Max and Rika weren't weirded out but I'm just glad I got to see Nanaly and she was as lively as ever.
So the place with no name quest became a part of the event because I'm here and my presence has altered a lot things, I'm wonder what Aimi is up to in the real world
" Awwwwww, did someone miss me " I could suddenly hear the voice of Aimi in my head again then I replied, " can't I keep my thoughts to myself and you aren't suppose to be here so what are you doing here eavesdropping on me like that "
" I see you are rude as ever, I can tell you not even happy to hear from me and just when I thought you missed me too boo woo " she pouted and then I replied by saying, " how long have you been listening, you should know don't have time to be wasting I need to think of a way to clear this event fast so I can get out and find my sister. So tell why are you here "
" You need to lighten up a little from time to time you know, anyways I wanted to congratulate you on triggering the hardest quest we set in this dream I guess you have the best luck aren't you happy " Aimi said and then I stopped to her and wondered
Wait what does she mean by the hardest quest so does that mean there were others, wait of course it does from I know each area has its own quest and the ones you trigger will help progress the story
" That's it mister they are a lot of different quests but do not worry the harder the quest the better the rewards " she said excitedly and then a idea came to I thought I'd while I still had the chance " alright I understand thanks your help and Aimi I'm curious what is happening in the real world right now "
After I asked the question paused for a few seconds then she responded " I'm glad I was of use to you and you don't need to worry about the real world just let me handle " her voice sounded a little down and less excited than before
Hearing her say that makes me worry I would like to know but I'm just focus on this dream for now I've got a feeling things will get ugly pretty soon
" Hey I heard that! Can't you just trust me for once anyways I'll be going now take care of yourself and I hope you get to use it " she said softly and then I said calmly " alright cool, just sit back and watch I'll clear this event soon enough "
Okay cool.......... So tomorrow I've got class I what happened or should I say what will, it's strange that I'm looking forward it for I should just sleep. Now that I think about it I'm going to fall asleep in a dream so what will be dreaming or remembering
After the long and tiresome day my eyes started getting heavy and little by little I slowly closed them and when I tried to open them again I felt refreshed out now. When I opened my eyes it really bright and I woke then moved the curtain on my window only to see that the sun was already out
" Didn't I just close my eyes about mere moments ago wait did I fall asleep but it really felt like I just blinked but I feel great so I'm cool with it " I said as walked out of the room. I brushed my teeth and washed my face then I prepared to go to school
At that time I was going to a private school called rikou middle school, it was among the top best schools in the country it was among the best because of its excellent performance and owner of school was really rich. Students of all kinds attended the school because status didn't matter how a student performs did so the fee were really reason that anyone would get in if they were smart enough
The school had unique uniforms custom made by famous designers so the ones a different and special design compared to other schools and the unforms we used to wear were a black and white while on Fridays it was either a gray track suit or a full black outfit provided by the school
" Morning brother " Nanaly said as she was eating breakfast " good morning little sis " I replied then I joined her the table and started eating, " Did you sleep well bro " she asked and voice was small but cute which really made me feel better by listening to her talk then I said " yeah I slept well and what about you "
" I knew it, something is off about you brother I noticed it since you came back home yesterday " she said as she glared at me then I just chuckled and said " hmmm what do you mean by that "
Leave it to my sis to figure out that something is off, I'm impressed because I'm trying to maintain same attitude as I did back then yet she is on to me, let's see her reason
" It's that sad look on your face, it might hard for anyone else to tell but I know you and yours eyes never lie they confirmed it " she said softly and calmly which got me surprised that it even showed on my face so I asked " what do you mean by my eyes never lie " I asked calmly
she looked a bit down then looked directly into my eyes " it's your eyes Rick, your eyes they look sad and I've never seen you like this before it-it's like you've lost something very important they almost seem lifeless " she said as she walked towards then she grabbed my head and hugged me
" Are you alright big brother? you know if you need someone to talk to I'm always right here " she in a low and sad tone with a worried on her face then I said " I'm alright little sis you don't need to worry "
I remember this. This was the time my little sister started wanting to about our parents. I guess she must have felt lonely and abandoned I know there was a time I did too. I guess things must be hard for her at school then I shouldn't make her worry
I got off the chair and with a cheerful smile then i said " hahaha you do think you are talking to little sis of mine have you forgotten that I am practically invisible " I said proudly then she chuckled " geez you really are hopeless... I hope you always remember that I will always be by your side no matter what.... brother "
Always be by my side....... Don't worry I'll make sure of it
