Tatsumaki POV

A City (Destroyed)

 

I'm now looking at the laying and unconscious girl who was just fighting against the most powerful figures of Heroes.

Her name is Rena.

The reason why she fought against them is because of me. 

My fault that I, made her become like this...

 

I slowly walked to her while spoke,

"I'm sorry... Rena..."

 

I then slowly lift her with my psychic power.

 

H-heavy...

My thought.

 

"Well, of course, she's the one who can make our strongest Heroes have a hard way afterall..."

I muttered.

 

After that, I carry Rena with my psychic power until we reach my home.

 

*clack*

 

I opened the front door with my psychic power.

 

Wasn't this door broken before? whatever...

I thought as I keep walking towards my bedroom while carrying Rena with my psychic.

 

*clack*

 

I opened my bedroom door with my psychic power.

After that, I placed Rena on my bed while taking a rest on the chair.

I look at the ceiling while Blast's words keep popping up in my head.

 

"Do you know Tatsumaki, even a Villain can be a Hero sometimes. That's why Tatsumaki, could you please remove that mindset of yours and embrace the new you?"

"Who cares about others, isn't there already someone who would accept you no matter how you became?"

 

"..."

 

Soon after, I remembered the time I spent with Rena.

That thought suddenly made my tears fall.

We played together, we laughed together, we embraced each other, and... kissed each other.

 

"And yet, I stupidly said "I'd rather die than become your lover" huh..."

I muttered.

 

I gritted my teeth then,

 

*SLAP*

 

I slapped myself.

 

"If this could make you forgive me, I'll gladly do it as many times as you want Rena. So please, wake up soon..."

I spoke.

 

After that, I keep waiting for Rena to wake up.

I wait, wait, and keep waiting...

Seconds passed, becoming minutes, and soon becoming hours.

The phone in my pocket keeps ringing as I know who the caller was.

It's from the Hero Association.

I then grabbed the phone in my pocket.

And then,

 

*creak*

 

I crushed it with my psychic power.

 

"Don't you know I'm busy right now you f*ing old geezers"

I cursed at them.

 

My gaze then back to the unconscious Rena.

While soon... that many hours have finally become a day long.

I still looking at the unconscious Rena.

Hoping for her to wake up soon while forcing my eyes to keep open from a restless night.

And finally, my wish came true.

She finally opened her eyes.

 

"RENA!"

I screamed.

 

"..."

No words came from her mouth.

 

"Rena! I-"

 

Her face slowly turned towards me.

She then opened her mouth while saying,

 

"Who..."

 

"Eh..."

I became speechless at her words.

 

"I-it's me, Tatsumaki, do you remember?"

I explained.

 

"Tatsuma...ki? who?..."

Rena replied.

There's no sign of light that can be seen reflected from her eyes.

A completely, black eyes.

 

"Moreover, I need to destroy everything... quickly..."

Rena spoke, preparing to stand.

 

"N-no!"

I immediately hold her not to stand.

 

"Please!... Don't go anywhere!"

I spoke with a trembling voice. Then continues,

"I... almost lost you once. So please, don't go anywhere and stay by my side, RENA!"

 

"..."

No words can be heard from her.

 

The room immediately fell silent.

Only my sobbing noises could be heard.

 

"... This is trouble. Why, my body can't move..."

She suddenly speaks, toneless.

 

"Rena?..."

I slowly turned my face to hers.

I immediately saw Rena looking at me without any sign of emotion on her face.

 

"A weak creature like you, suppose to can't hold me back like this. I can kill you in a single hit without trouble. But why..."

Rena immediately moved her right hand at lightning speed toward my face.

But her hands suddenly stopped before it hits while trembling.

 

"Why I can't hit you? who, are you?..."

Rena asked.

 

"Rena..."

I muttered.

 

Maybe, if it was me before I met her, I would never know what happened.

But now I know.

My heart knows it well.

It's her love, for me.

Even if her personality changed, her love for me doesn't change.

This is her true love, her true feeling.

 

And without realizing it, my both hand already moved slowly toward her cheeks.

There's no sign of resistance from her.

Rena just let my hand slide through toward her cheeks without resisting.

After my both hands touched her cheeks, my head also follows... slowly, towards her face.

I then closed my eyes and let my lips touch hers.

 

Just like that, we kissed.

 

Soon after, I could feel a puddle of water falling through my cheeks.

I then backed my head a little and slowly opened my eyes.

What I saw was the figure of Rena, the emotionless Rena crying while looking at me dumbfoundedly.

A glint of light suddenly appears in her eyes.

She then starts spoke,

 

"Tat... Chan..."

.

Rena's POV

 

I finally woke up from my deep slumber.

With a kiss from Tatsumaki, I immediately remembered everything that happened.

Soon after, my head is filled with guilt about what have I done to A City.

I killed... many people yet again...

I know this isn't the first time I kill people.

But, the fact that this gonna be my daily life if I changed back to that giant monster again, scares me.

I tried my best, to forget about those lives I ended with my hand, but in reality... I can't.

I'm a monster.

The enemy of Heroes, and humanity...

That's why, I suddenly know what Tatsumaki felt when she knew I was a monster.

 

I then looked at Tatsumaki's face.

She was smiling and happy that I was back.

She was happy that I was back... while didn't know I could kill people again whenever I changed back to that giant monster.

Yet, she still gave me a warm smile.

More guilt started piling up in my head.

I then gritted my teeth while pondering,

 

Maybe... I should just accept our fate and end this taboo relationship.

 

"You finally... *sob* come back..."

Tatsumaki spoke with a trembling voice.

 

She then starts hugging me while crying on my shoulder.

I slowly stretched my hand to hug her back but stopped.

 

I... have no right to hug her after this mess.

I thought while slowly lowering my hand.

 

I then forcibly end her hug and distance myself.

 

"Thank you for waking me up, Tatsumaki..."

I spoke smiling.

 

I then started to get up from the bed.

 

"Eh Rena, where are you going?"

Tatsumaki asked.

 

I just ignored her while making steps to the door.

 

"RENA!"

Tatsumaki immediately grabbed my hand.

 

"..."

I stopped my step without glancing back.

 

"Tell me, where are you going..."

Tatsumaki asked.

 

"I... decide to accept our fate Tatsumaki. So, let's end this relationship,"

I turned and smiled at her.

 

*throb*

It hurts

 

I slowly touched my chest with my other hand.

 

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!"

Tatsumaki screamed.

 

"Don't you also want to end this relationship? Tatsumaki. Didn't you say you rather die than become my lover?.. I just, respect your decision and decide to... move on!"

 

*throb*

It hurts

 

"YOU'RE WRONG!"

Tatsumaki screamed.

 

"Ah, you don't need to worry about me destroying the city again. After this, I will move to a different universe. Hehe, I have my way so you don't need to-"

 

*SLAP*

 

Tatsumaki slapped me.

 

"Eh..."

I dumbfounded.

 

"I SAID YOU'RE WRONG! LISTEN TO ME, YOU IDIOT!"

Tatsumaki screamed.

 

I slowly rub my cheeks.

I then gazed at Tatsumaki's hand.

My eyes widen.

 

"TATSUMAKI! YOUR HAND'S BLEEDING!"

I tried to grab her bleeding hand but, she immediately pulled her hand.

 

She then placed her other hand to cover the blood while speaking,

"There you at it again. worrying about me even if it's just a small injury..."

Tatsumaki spoke in a calm tone.

 

"And that side of you, I also love"

Tatsumaki muttered.

 

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! THAT'S NOT A SMAL-"

 

"Rena..."

Tatsumaki immediately spoke, cutting my speech.

 

"Tatsuma...ki..."

 

"Do you know, at that time, when I first discover that you were a monster, I was... simply, confused at what was going on. I immediately acted without thinking about the consequences. I... ignored my feeling and acted that way. That's why, it's happened."

Tatsumaki explained.

 

"IT'S NOT TIME FOR THAT, TATSUMAKI, YOUR HAND!"

I screamed. Still worrying about her bleeding hand.

 

"What I want to say is, Rena... I'm sorry for what I did to you before and..."

Tatsumaki smiled while tears fell from her eyes. She then continues,

"I love you from the bottom of my heart."

 

"Eh..."

I was dumbfounded by her statement.

 

"I don't care even if you're not a human."

Tatsumaki slowly walked towards me.

 

"The day, we spent together, made me realize that I..."

Tatsumaki placed her both hands on my cheeks.

 

"Simply, fell in love with a single creature called, Amanozako Rena..."

Blood marks immediately formed on my cheeks from her bloody hand.

 

"I won't hesitate anymore, I won't let you go again, I just, want to stay by your side. As your wife from now on... So please, will you forgive this foolish me and restart our relationship?"

She spoke, smiling.

 

Her smile was the purest smile she ever let out.

At this time, I suddenly realize.

That this was her genuine feeling.

Her true love...

 

*throb* *throb*

No, this can't do... I CAN'T LET THE SAME TRAGEDY HAPPEN!

 

"Then... stop being a Hero, if I said that, what will you do?"

I asked.

 

Trying to make her give up on me.

 

"Then, I will gladly do so."

With a cheerful voice, she answered without hesitation. She then continues,

"If I did that, will you forgive me? and let me stay by your side once again? Ren-Chan..."

 

*throb* *throb* *throb* *throb*

 

Eh, what is this...

A weird feeling immediately formed inside me.

 

"But, I'm a monster! I killed people! you already know what happened to A City, AND J CITY TOO!"

I keep persisting.

 

"So what? Was that really you that killed all those people? not your monster side?"

Tatsumaki replied.

 

*throb* *throb*

 

Something is wrong with me.

 

"BUT IT WAS STILL ME! MY OWN BODY! THAT... *sniff* killed all those innocent people..."

I keep persisting while can't control my tears.

 

"Should I believe a person who was just insanely worried about a small injury killed innocent people?"

She replied.

 

"Kugh..."

No more words left in my mouth to break her argument.

 

I just simply fall to my knees while sobbing.

Tatsumaki then smiled and hugged me.

 

*throb* *throb*

 

Ah... this feeling...

I could feel it... the wall that have been broken beginning to rebuild itself.

But this time, with a more sturdy version of the wall.

 

Tatsumaki gently wipes my tears with her hands.

 

"Do you really think, we could stay together forever?"

I asked with a trembling voice.

 

"Yes, at least, that is what I believe. Even if fates are in our way, let's destroy that so called fate, don't we?"

Tatsumaki answered with a smile.

 

Soon after, I could no longer hold my feeling and immediately hugged her.

"Tat-Chan!"

I was so happy that I did a spin while hugging her.

 

"Oi! what are you doing! I'm not a kid, stop!"

Tat-Chan tried to break free from my hand but failed.

 

"Tat-Chan!! ehehehe,"

I laughed like a little kid getting his best present for his entire life.

 

"OI! STOP, oh no, I think I'm going to puke..."

Tat-chan spoke with a pale face.

 

*bleurgh*

 

"EH, IM SORRY TAT-CHAN!"

I screamed.

 

Just like that, Tat-chan fainted.

After she wakes up, she immediately scolds me to not do that again.

But I just keep smiled at her since, I was glad that our relationship is back.

Or should I say, new bonds just formed between us.
