Chapter 18:

Gods? not a big deal.

Yui


“Fuyuki Natsuki! stop fighting already!” Nana suddenly entered the house “Minato, Eda and Kimori said they heard you. We are exposed now, apologize to each other.”

“I’m sorry” Fuyuki and Natsuki said to each other, they hated each other a lot but they didn’t want to get in trouble with Nana.

“Good, never ever fight again” Nana looked angry “Fuyuki, give me the key to Nakata’s cage.”

“A key? I don’t have one” Fuyuki laughed a little.

“Do I seem to care? open the cage” Nana looked very unsatisfied.

Fuyuki leaned forward and broke the cage using his finger. He also cut a little bit of Nakata’s skin, he took the blood on Nakata’s skin with his finger, he sniffed it a little and then pasted it under his left eye. The color of Nakata’s blood and of Fuyuki’s left eye matched perfectly

“I like it this way better.”

Everyone stopped in place, not like they didn’t move from their place, but everyone stopped breathing and blinking, well, everyone except Natsuki.

“This is not the right time at all” Natsuki whispered “the time stopped moving, the future doesn’t come, it's a really bad timing right now.”

Natsuki disappeared on earth and appeared in the supreme land, it was not the ruins of the supreme land but the supreme land itself, the exact way Natsuki remembered it, the same buildings, the same walkway, so nostalgic... The buildings suddenly started to burn, he saw a little girl running, desperately searching for someone between the lifeless bodies. A white haired boy appeared in front of her, she grabbed him quickly and ran with him somewhere.

Right after, a strong wind came, Natsuki’s hair hid his view for a second, right after the view in front of Natsuki changed to somewhere under the dirt. He saw a little white haired boy sitting and crying, one of his eyes is red, one of his eyes is brown. Until now no one could see Natsuki, this time, the little boy could notice him.

“Hey, former god of future” the kid looked at Natsuki “I want you to save me, I was not always like that, bring me back to my body.”

Before Natsuki could say something the view changed again to what the supreme land looks like now. The only thing Natsuki saw was a shadow of a little boy running around.

“Wait for me!” Natsuki started to run after the boy for a few minutes.

The boy slipped and fell on the floor, he turned back so Natsuki could see his face, face full of dread.

“It’s okay” Natsuki tried to reach his hand to the boy.

The boy closed his eyes and grew up in seconds, in the end little Fuyuki became a grown Fuyuki.

He opened his eyes, licked his lips and asked “up for another treat?”

His finger became a blade again, he stuck his finger right in Natsuki’s heart.

Natsuki knew it was nothing more than an illusion yet the pain felt very real. The second Natsuki thought he was about to die, time kept moving, it continued just the way it stopped.

“I will teach them a little lesson now” Nana said and took her two albino brothers back to their house.

Nakata ran to the bathroom and locked himself there.

Aku, Minato, Eda and Kimori entered the house.

“What’s for lunch? I’m starving” Eda said, ignoring everything that just happened.

“I made chicken with sweet potatoes and onions” said Aku “I thought of inviting Natsuki and his children but it won’t happen.”

“Are you all going to ignore everything that just happened?” shouted Yui “if Nana didn’t show up Nakata, Natsuki and I would be dead right now.”

“You are right, it’s not right” Kimori said “little Nana didn’t feel confident enough to tell me her true self.”

“It’s all right, I’m sure she had her reasons” Minato comforted Kimori.

“You are all acting like it’s not a big deal, gods exist and you know them in person” Yui said, he himself was still surprised by the fact they are real.

“They are like humans but slightly stronger” said Minato “how are we supposed to react?”

“It also doesn’t change a thing about our life” said Eda.

“Fine” Yui raged “what are we going to do with Nakata now?”

“Rule number five” Aku sang and danced in place a little “be nice, respect other humans, and don’t use dumb, idiot, stupid and brainless often.”

“So you will use Fuyuki’s rules on me?” Yui was furious.

“If you want Nakata to like you again, this rule can work” said Kimori.

“I surrender” sighed Yui “I will do it, let’s eat lunch now” food always comforted Yui.

“I will go call Nakata” Aku walked in the direction of the bathroom.

She knocked the door once.

No answer

“Nakata, we will be eating lunch now, join us please.”

Still no answer.

“If you won’t say something I will kick the door open” Aku said loudly.

No sound came out of the bathroom.

“Ok here I go”

Aku kicked the door strongly and opened it.

Nakata was not in the bathroom, the window up the toilet was open. Aku ran to the living room and said:

“Nakata ran away, we need to look for him.”
