• Akira: The Trapped Pt 27
    -Nijix’s View-
    I woke up the next morning, and guess who I see? Tiyo right next to me on the floor, staring straight at me. If he busts out a joke I swear I will punch his face. Tiyo leaned on her arm, his head tilted.
    “ Good morning honey.” Tiyo’s voice sounded like a girl again. I heard Akira burst out laughing in the kitchen.
    “Hey finally woke up?” Akira yelled from the kitchen, I could smell pancakes, eggs and sausage cooking.
    “Oh yeah dear sister.” Tiyo’s voice was still a girl’s voice, but he was looking at me and winked. Jumping up I yelled at him.
    “WHAT ARE YOU HALF GAY?!!!”
    Tiyo thought about this for a moment, and looked up at the ceiling.
    “What if I am? At least you know you’re not ugly.” He retorted. He brought out his dagger of life and cut himself, this blood turned green.
    “Green means I’m straight as a ruler. Now if it was blue you know what I would be.” Tiyo chuckled and got up from the floor. And as I kept my word, I punched him square in the face. Blood ran down his nose.
    “I guess I deserved that?” He laughed.
    “Yes you did, hey Akira get ready were going to train. And Tiyo you cannot come.” I shrugged but stared at Tiyo. I could tell he was annoyed. But he sighed anyway. While walking to the shower he bumped my shoulder. But I paid no attention.

    -20 Minutes Later, The Meadow-
    “So what am I learning today?” Akira was cheerful and jumping around doing cartwheels and back flips. The bad thing was she was wearing a skirt, so I just stared and just didn’t even answer. She finally noticed.
    “PERVERT!!!” Akira yelled, and walked up to me hands on hips.
    “Your fault. Actually I didn’t bring you here so we could train, I brought you here so we could be alone. I’m-…” I couldn’t even say it. I’m jealous, since Tiyo has entered our lives.
    “Nijix your jealous right? You don’t have to be, Tiyo is like….a brother to me.” She took a while to say brother, I knew she thought more about him.
    “Be truthful, you love him more than a brother right.” I asked her quickly.
    “…..Yeah.”
    I twitched, wanting to punch Tiyo, but he wasn’t here. Now I’m really jealous. Walking up to Akira and caressing her cheek, resting my forehead on her forehead. We were staring at each other’s eyes.
    She kissed me on the lips tenderly.

    “But…I love you even more Nijix.” I was holding her in a tight embrace as we kissed, I didn’t even want to think that she liked Tiyo more. But in the end, I know I will die and she will be with him. After all, he has been her Guardian Angel each time she is reborn. That is a secret I must never tell her, each time she is reborn she looks different and doesn’t remember nothing except pain and hatred. Eventually she meets up with me and Kino, then lastly…Tiyo. Nothing can escape our curse, nothing.

    “I love you forever Akira.” I have said this over a million times, but to different names. Her name never stays the same. Never, I wish it would. I wish I could live so me and her could grow old together, but instead I die and she slowly fades away from heart ache and darkness.
    But the most horrible thing is that….
    She gave us the curse, and the gift to live in people’s lives forever.

    -Akira’s View-
    I was so happy in Nijix’s arms, it was as if I knew these strong arms a million times. But at the same time, I felt like something heavy and dark was on my shoulders. Maybe it’s because I want to break this curse, just maybe.
    “We should go, before Tiyo-san gets worried.” I stuttered, being this close to Nijix made me nervous. Nijix stepped back and turned away.
    “Your right, let’s go.” He responded, and started to walk away holding my hand. We walked for ten minutes, I opened the door to the hotel room and Tiyo was on the couch snoring his head off.

    “Aw so cute.” I squealed. Nijix grunted and walked to the bathroom slamming the door.
    “Thanks for saying I’m cute.” Tiyo was wide awake. I jumped.
    “I thought you were asleep!” Flinching at him while I yelled.
    “ Spirits don’t sleep. Anyway, I think we should get going to your old village. Kino…the evil is stirring a bit after I clocked him upside the head with a fridge. So tomorrow, we are all going.” Tiyo-san breathed and rubbed his head. Something in me thought he was right, we stayed here to long and Kino is nearby.
    Nijix stepped out of the bathroom, it looked like he just cried and banged his head on the wall.

    “He’s right. We are going. Tomorrow, let’s go out to eat..I’m hungry.” Nijix’s stomach grumbled.
    “Alright, Tiyo-san you can cook this time. Heck, Nijix is practically the cook around here. No offensive Nijix but you need to work on your stir fry.” I giggled silently, Nijix looked annoyed but he smiled away. Tiyo stared at the stove like it was a frog with wings, stupidly.
    “….. …” I think Tiyo-san has never cooked before? Oh god, he was the prince of this village, they don’t learn nothing except royal stuff.

    -10 Minutes Later-
    Tiyo-san had cooked for the first time, and it was great. Even if it was fried egg and rice together with tons of vegetables. Nijix, and me gobbled it up like it was the last meal of our life.

    “Oh my god Tiyo, you’re the new cook now!” Nijix yelled while pointing at Tiyo-san like he committed a murder.
    Being with these two, is so fun. I wish it would never end, I wish this would be eternal no matter how many times we die, I hope we can be together…Always.
