• Akira: The Trapped Pt 21
    -Akira’s View, still in the hotel room-
    Nijix walked through the door, he looked at me and I stared coldly back. I got up from the bed and walked to him. And slapped the silver out of his hair, I swear blood ran down the side of his mouth.
    “You did not tell me, YOU AND KINO ARE THE ******** SAME PERSON!!!” I screamed at him at the top of my lungs, Nijix covered my mouth with his hand.
    “Shut up! Who the hell told you?!!” He yelled back. I bit his hand and spitted in his face.
    “Not you that’s for sure!! You could of ******** told me!!! I mean geez! I don’t even want to look at your lying a**!!”
    We stood there, and Nijix dropped his bags and stared at me, I looked down since I was so angry at him. This stupid curse on him is making me trapped in all of this. If he only would of told me, I would of planned ahead! But now, I freaking kissed him and cuddled next to him not knowing the truth. This is a reason why I don’t like it when anyone is nice to me, except Tiyo-san.
    The whole afternoon was silent, we didn’t even glance at each other during lunch. I decided to go out and visit one of the shrines or graves of the people Tiyo left behind. I got my jacket off of the hook, and looked back. Nijix was sitting on the couch looking down, I guess he was still sad.

    “Don’t go outside the gates.” Was all he said, and resumed being quiet. I shrugged and slammed the door so hard that the room shook.
    The hallway was less noisy now that everyone was inside smoking or whatever. It was easy to get out of that crowded place. I walked down the street until I saw the shrine of the Mino Family. Something in my mind told me it was Tiyo’s family’s shrine. A priestess was burning incest and chanting around it. She saw me coming and smiled.
    “ You must be Akira. And don’t worry, the spirit of the family told me your name. My name is Kimino” She had long black hair that was tied and braid down her back. She wore red flowing pants and a long sleeve sacred shirt. Her eyes were baby blue, her appearance made her look like a queen. I bowed, and she bowed back.
    “I came here to pray for a old friend…Tiyo Mino?” I sort of stuttered. She nodded sadly and pointed at a stone that was decorated with millions of flowers.
    “Villagers still come to his grave now and then, but we have no body in it. We still think he is at peace.”
    That was dead wrong, Tiyo said he was a regretful spirit…I kind of feel sad for his family and village. They think he is at peace but, he is not. I sat in front of his grave and prayed.

    -Nijix’s View, back in the hotel room-
    After Akira left the room, I was all alone of course. I didn’t want Akira to be angry with me, I mean that secret well curse kills me inside each time I mention it to myself or others. Only a few people know of it, only Kino, Nami, my parents, and myself. Now Akira knows, I don’t know how she found out but I don’t care anymore. I have to protect her even more than ever now that she knows. I have to kill Kino to protect her.

    I grasped the couch hard, I was so angry with myself for letting this situation happen. My feelings for Akira are interfering with my goal to kill him, if I the Light can kill him maybe just maybe this curse may be broken.

    “…Akira….I don’t want to lose you too.” I told myself silently. In the beginning of this journey I just thought she was just a confused girl who wanted to go home, and was clumsy and angry at everything. But now I see her more of a kind and gentle person who will yell at you when she is mad. I think that is kind of cute, oh god I’m in love with this girl!!
    -1 hour passed-
    I stood at the door, waiting for Akira. I wanted to hug her and tell her I’m sorry..I hate it when I have to say sorry. Maybe that’s a little bit of what I got from Kino. Akira walked through the door a few seconds later, I embraced her in a big hug. She was surprised because her eyes went bug eyed.
    “I’m sorry, for not telling you.”
    “…..You don’t have to saw anything to me. Tiyo-san told me everything.” She breathed. Tiyo-san….that name, I heard it before…500 years ago. I shrugged it off, Akira finally hugged me back.
    “I’m still sorry that I didn’t tell you.”
    “….I don’t want you to die, I’ll help you kill Kino.”
    Akira looked up at me, a few tears ran down her cheek just at the thought of me dying. I guess we were both trapped now, if I die Akira will never forgive herself, and if she dies I won’t even see the real me anymore. This is just a big shitty life. Always fighting, Always sadness. I hate this!
    I stopped hugging Akira and sat on the couch, and thought about my pan to kill Kino. I will just hope that I will be able to know Akira some more before she or I die.
    -Akira’s View-(Start listening to Bulletproof by Kerli!)

    I sat by Nijix on the couch, I cuddled next to him. His face was blank and sad, this is just wrong. I don’t want him to die, I just hate this. I can’t think anymore. I stared at Nijix and kissed him on the lips, this caught him off guard. He kissed back, and laid a hand on my cheek and brushed my black hair out of my face.

    “…Akira, we have to be careful, because either way we are going to be hurt in the end.” Nijix told me, but I didn’t care. We sat there kissing for what seemed like we were frozen in time. We are both trying to figure out what to do about this curse, and now it is intertwine in our lives. We have to stay with each other, or we both will fall apart.
    “…I know, I know…we are all going to be hurt in the end…I wish it wasn’t true.” I breathed.
    (DANM I LOVE THAT SONG!....ER….DUN READ OUTLOUD!!!)
    We fell asleep on the couch and that was the end of our worst day yet to come.
