The first thought that popped up in Ichiro’s mind when he teleported was a very pessimistic one.
…’This was the worst thing EVER. This drained half my. Life Force..’, he whined….
He stated pacing towards the mountain, he was almost there. The one difficulty was to climb it.
Once he reached the base of Mt. Fushin, he took a deep breath and tried to think. All the possible outcomes that were available to him by going into an unknown territory to see someone he saw in his dreams. It started to sound ridiculous, even to him. But there was no way back. Right when he was about to take his first steps towards the mountain, he was surrounded by tall walls.
Hikari landed right in front of him, as if the walls weren’t enough.
…’How…in the world?’, asked Ichiro. He could gladly confess that Hikari was the strongest human being he ever saw, but she was still way above what he expected….
Hikari looked at him. She was pressuring him with her eyes. Her left eye was glowing. ‘It’s green… what’s she healing? Wait… did I hurt her earlier…?’, Ichiro thought. Hikari figured instantly that he let his guard down and in a split second she was in front of him.
…’Say, we both know that I could either take you out or take you back right now. You stand no chance even if I use no spells. But I am not here to force you. I told you I’d protect you and for that I need to know something. What are you after?’…
Ichiro sighed. He thought about trying to lie about it but there was no chance he could escape and he didn’t want to resort to lying again anyway.
…’Look, I don’t think you’ll believe what I say at this point. It barely sounds true to me, but I’m just doing what you asked me to. I had a dream the last two nights. A girl appeared in both of them and told me to find her. This is the location I needed to go. She didn’t tell me her name though. Everytime she tried, I woke up. But something seemed off… the fact that I felt a weird and familiar connection to her’…
Ichiro looked down, expecting nothing but laughter or blame from Hikari. Once again, he was shocked to hear her response.
…’And you decided that it was a good idea to shut up, huh? I never understand you sometimes. Anyway, I’m coming with you’…
…Ichiro froze. ‘What? Wait, no, you can’t. I don’t know how this will go and it’s probably too dangerous.’…
…’You really are dumb sometimes, aren’t you? If you think it’s dangerous for ME, then how are YOU going to manage by yourself? Besides, it’s my choice if I want to go or not’…
…’I’m still not happy with just letting you come with me’, said Ichiro….
…Hikari took a few steps closer to Ichiro. ‘Then there’s only one way to settle this. Fight me. Whoever wins, does however they please’…
Ichiro backed up a bit. He started thinking about all the possible outcomes and every single one of them was negative.
…’Okay, fine. All that’ll happen if I do is Energy loss’,said Ichiro….
…’Good, you actually realized it. Let’s go th-‘…
Before she could finish her sentence, Ichiro grabbed her arm.
…’What are you hiding?’…
…Hikari looked at him with a spooked out look in her eyes. ‘What… what do you mean?’…
…’Your eye is green. What are you healing?’…
…’Oh, that. Well, it’s a small cut from your spell earlier. The cut itself isn’t a big deal, but it’s in a spot where Energy can exit my body easily, so I’d rather close the wound’…
…’I get it. Let’s get going then’…
As they started climbing the mountain, the climate changed dramatically. It was getting very hot…at the point where both of them had to use Energy cloaks to protect their bodies.
Halfway through, they both lost considerable amounts of Energy, but it was way too late to give up.
About two hours later, they reached the top and instantly had to hide. ‘Who are those people? And why are they guarding a cage?’, Ichiro thought.
…’Hey, there’s a name written on that label next to the cage. I’m going to try to decipher it’…
Hikari froze a few seconds later, making the connection with Ichiro’s dream.
…’I-Ichiro? What is your last name? Just to… make sure’…
…’Huh? It’s Shuuya. Why?’…
…’I… um… the name written on that label. Her name is Kei Shuuya’…
…’What…? I…need to check that’…
…’WAIT, DON’T GO’, yelled Hikari….
But it was too late. Ichiro rushed to the guards. His right eye started glowing purple again, but this time, he didn’t feel a thing. He closed his other eye and locked his glowing eye on the two guards. A few seconds later, they were caught in a dark cage. Ichiro felt their Energy flowing through his veins, as well as their Life Force. About a minute of that continued, then the cage exploded, along with the guards. Ichiro’s right eye started bleeding and hurting. The impact destroyed the girl’s cage, but she was unconscious.
…’Ichiro… what was that?’…
……….
