Void zero

Chapter 11


Ban asks her :"What did you just said?"

Natsumi was still confused about what she wants for her last wish. She was also nervous. 

She replies to him :''I said that I don't want to die"

Ban replies to her :"I told you already that I can't make you a immortal or live longer."

Natsumi didn't forget about what he said. She was really nervous. She was also confused because she was thinking what that old women's wish was. She was also thinking about the possibility of what her parents would feel, what her friends will feel after she dies. She was also worried about herself for how much pain she would feel. 

She replies to him :"I know that you have already told me those. But when I think about my death and what would my parents and my friends would feel. I don't know what to wish for other than that."

He replies to her :"So you want to die without giving them unnecessary pain of losing you. You also want to die without pain. I can do it by taking away your feeling of pain. I can also do the same for your parents and friends"
Natsumi didn't want them to lose her bond with her friends and parents. Neither did she wants to make her bond with each other less connected. She didn't want to control their feeling. 

She replies to him :"No, no. It's not like that. I don't want you to control there feelings. Feelings are what makes us human's unique creature. It's the reason that we feel sympathy, sadness, happiness, excitement, anger, pain, joy, horror, nostalgia and many other feelings. Without it none of can be called human."

Ban asks her with angry voice :"Then what should I do?!"

Natsumi replies to him :"I don't know."

Ban feels disappointed and replies to her :"So you don't even know what to do either."

She didn't know what he would think if she told her that the dream's old women wished for something that she didn't know. He might think of it as just a normal dream and don't give it another thought. She was also feeling that she will regrets not wishing for her (Old woman) wish. 

She replies to him :"I don't know but I know if I don't fulfill it, I might regret it later."

He asks her :"What do you want to do then? I can do it you know."

Natsumi couldn't hear what he just said.

Because all she could hear was the voice of that old women that she talked in her dream. 
Shouting at her :"Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! Fulfill my wish! If you can't do it then just die!! Because of you! Because of you! Because of you I am like this!!!!"

She sits down on the ground with her eyes closed. It was so loud that she was holding both of her ears.

She replies to her :"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Ban was only hearing her shouting. Though she was really hearing that women's voice. Ban didn't know what was wrong with her. He looked around but saw nobody around. He thought that she is just angry at him for saying something that maybe hurt her feelings. Though she wasn't angry at him. He grabbed her shoulder.

He replies to her :"Natsumi! It's ok. You have some time to think for it. It doesn't mean that you are going to die right away after wishing for that. You can wish for anything. I will try my best to Fulfill it for you."

She couldn't hears what he said. But she hears that old woman's voice.

Shouting at her with sad voice :"Just fulfill my wish. I don't want anything else. I won't ever disturb you. Just fulfill my wish"

Natsumi yells at her :"Shut up!!!!."

Ban was surprised by her yelling. That old woman stops shouting at her. She opens her eyes, takes her hands off from her earsand looks at him. She realizes that only she was hearing that old women's voice. Natsumi realizes how abnormal she acted. 

She apologizes to him :"I'm sorry"

Ban replies to her :"No it's okay."

Natsumi replies to him :"I am really sorry. I was having a issue, but I am not sure if you will believe in it."

Ban holds her hand and replies to her :"I will believe in whatever you say. Even if it is a lie."

She replies to him :"I was hearing a voice of a old woman. I also once saw her in my dream. She was asking me to fulfill her dream again and again loudly. It was unbearable. That's why I was saying shut up."

He thought to himself [Old woman in a dream? And hearing her voices twice. Can it be a Ghost?]

He replies to her :"That woman can possibly be a ghost from the past."

She was spooked by that. She replies to him :"Ghost!!"
He asks her :Yes, Ghost. Are you scared of ghost by some chance?"

She replies to him :"N-n-no. You are mistaken."

Ban replies to her like this :"Okay then. I am not an expert in ghost. I don't know what will help her to pass on since she didn't say her wish. But I know someone who is an expert in it."

Natsumi asks him :"Who is it?"

Ban said this to her :"Look below you"

Natsumi looked below her and saw a portal beneath her. She falls right into the portal as soon as she saw that. She starts to yell as she fall deep into that portal. She falls down on something. Though she wasn't hurt that badly. It wasn't a long fall.

Natsumi said this :"Ouch. What is this place?"

She looked around the place she fell into. She saw that this place was empty and it was very dark in there. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly.

Natsumi thought to herself [It's not as deep as I thought it will be. Is this a cave? Why is this place so dark? There must be someone out here. Ban should be out here.]

Natsumi shouts :"Ban! Ban! Where are you?" 

She didn't hear any reply from him or any kind of sound. It was totally silent for a moment.

But suddenly she hears a voice saying this :"I am here"

Natsumi couldn't recognize the voice. 

She asks :"Where are you?"

The voice holder replies to her :"I am behind you"

She looks behind her. She couldn't believe what she saw. But she saw a giant. A giant that looked like a god or some type of cosmic being that exists in the comics. It didn't have any eyes, nose, lips, mouth or anything on it's face. It only had ears. It looked like as if the entire universe was in that being's face. As any normal person she was surprised. She was also scared. She already saw a god's messenger. She thought what she just saw now was a demon. She starts running

As she start running in the opposite direction she yelled saying this :"Help!!! Ban help me!!!!"

That being said this to her :"It ok. It's me Ban."

Natsumi stops running. She looked at that being and asked him :"Are you really Ban?"

Ban replies to her :"Yes. It's really me"

Natsumi was even more surprised now.

She asks him bunch of a question right away :"But what happened to you? What happened to your nose and eye? Also why are you glowing even though you look like this? When did you became so giant? How did you change your voice too? Can you even see me?"

Ban replies to her :" I can see you but even I don't know how it is possible. But isn't that too much questions at once?"

Natsumi apologizes to him :"Sorry. But it was just too much of a surprise"

Ban replies to her :"It's ok. I understand"

Natsumi asks him :"Then first answer me where are we now? Are we even in earth anymore? Even though it doesn't seems like it"

Ban replies to her :"As you think this isn't anywhere on earth. This place is called Void Zero."

Natsumi gets confused after hearing that from him. She asks him :"What is Void Zero?"

Ban replies to her :"It's a place only a few selected people can go. Only five of people can come and go from here. It's like a private place"

She replies to him :"I see."

Ban replies to her :"And this is my true form. Because of my true form, my voice and sizes changed"

She asks him :"True form? Then what about what I saw in earth?"

Ban replies to her :"I just changed my shape into that. Or it will be very weird if I went in there in this form."

She asks him :"I understand all of it. But then why are we here?"

Ban answers her :"It's about your problem. We came here to get a solution for it"

Natsumi asks him :"Than where is that person?"

Ban replies to her :"Wait and you will see the person who will give a solution for this."

Natsumi asks him :"Wait for whom?"

Ban replies to her :"Just wait"

Natsumi couldn't understand if he is angry or sad or joking because of his current face.

Though she agrees with him :"Okay. I will wait"

Ban and Natsumi waits for five minutes though the person who was supposed to give her a solution wasn't coming.

Natsumi said this to him :"I think he is not coming."

Ban replies to her :"He is coming. Just wait"

Ban and Natsumi waits for another thirty minutes silently though that guy still didn't come. 

Natsumi asks him :"Aren't I supposed to be dead by now?"

Ban answers her :"Don't worry time does not flow in here."

Again both Ban and Natsumi waits for another 6 whole hours though, that person still didn't arrive. Even tough the whole time she was standing, she didn't get tired. Natsumi gets too much bored and gave up all hope of that guy arriving on here. 

She said this to him :"He won't come. I have done enough waiting for him. I don't care anymore. Let me die peacefully after you change the past and give every exam I have taken hundred of hundred. Make my family a bit richer than it's now too."

Ban replies to her :"He is here."

Natsumi looked around but saw nobody around. All she could see was darkness.

She asks him :"Where is that guy?"

Suddenly she hears a voice out of nowhere. A voice of a very old person but the voice was also creepy. 

The voice holder asks this with angry voice :"Who has summoned me?

Natsumi replies to that guy :"You must be that guy who will give me a solution. You were summoned because of me. Where is your face? Show me your face. You dare to come here after making us wait for couple of hours. You say something too Ban."

The holder of that voice was surprised. He thought that she will be scared by his voice. 

He asks her with a normal person's voice :"Aren't you scared of me you little girl?"

Natsumi was so irritated at him for making her wait so much time that she stops caring about logic and respect.

She replies to him :"Who would be scared of you. Show me your face."

Ban claps his hands. Natsumi looks at him. He points his hand's index finger above from his sit. Natsumi looks above her. She saw a giant red devilish eye. It was so long and big that she couldn't see the entirety of it

Five minutes left before she will die
