Hero

Chapter 21

<<Even if you use the Wrath form?>>

<<....Those guys told you about the effects of the beasts?>>

<<Yeah, and I'm glad they did it. What if you died on me because I didn't even know how your quirk works? Why you didn't tell me about that?>>

<<...I thought it would scare you and you wouldn't love me anymore...>> you look away both to hide your watery eyes and your embarrassment, <<Maybe I don't show it enough, but I really love you, I'm crazy about you and I don't want to lose my dearest person... Not again...>> raising your knees to your chest, you lay the head in between, <<My mom first, then Yamato... I can't stand this kind of pain, it's too much... Everyone says that my quirk is so powerful, but they don't know how much I worked to reach this level, how high is the price that I must pay every time I use it... They can never understand how powerless and useless I feel...>>

"Tenka is right, it pisses me off a little knowing that she endures this pain by herself. How can I learn to recognize her lies faster?" Shouto caresses your back and pushes you inside his arms.

<<Even if I'm strong, I couldn't protect my mom and Yamato... Why I have this power if is useless? For what I endured painful and tiring trainings, for what purpose I kept walking on this path without looking back...>> her body starts to shiver, trying to suppress her own crying, <<I killed my mother with words, and my hero with my own power... That's the true reason why I don't use my quirk if it's not a dangerous situation...>>

"She killed Yamato with her quirk? What's that mean?" <<I really hate myself for doing this...>> says him biting his lip, <<But I have one more question... If you don't want to talk anymore, it's fine. I made you cry... it's not what I wanted, nor what I thought it would end...>> he kisses your forehead, wiping away your tears with his finger, <<Sorry my love, I'm really sorry.>>

<<It's my fault... I always hide my emotions inside and it always end like this when I reach the limit... I do this just because I don't to involve anyone like I did with Yamato...>> you reply sniffing, <<Anyway, tell me your question, I'll answer it.>>

<<What happened when the crow talked to me?>> says Shouto whispering while going back under the covers, <<I'm curious for your friends' reactions too. Tenka said, "It spoke again." So, your beasts can talk or something like that?>>

<<It means that you're immune to Wrath.>> you explain, <<My beasts reveal their secrets only to the one who has a bond with. When a beast interacts with you, means that you're protected by them, which implies, you're completely immune from their power. Ash Crow never spoke with someone, only Yamato. For example, if I go in berserk and use my full power to attack you, Ash Crow will protect you and he'll let you use his strength as yours until my last breath.>>

<<...>> he hugs you, letting his body intertwine with yours as much as possible, <<Do you know why he chose me?>>

<<Unfortunately, no.>> the girl is not sad anymore, some memories bring her smile back, <<You can ask that to him by yourself. He will talk if it's you, since only the chosen ones can hear the voice of the beasts.>>

<<Huh?>>

<<Only I can talk or hear their voices, but from now on, if you want to ask something to Ash Crow, just call his name and wait until he responds.>> you let Shouto hug you with all his might, it would be impossible to move tomorrow, but it feels so good and warm, and... safe, <<You don't like what I'm going to tell you, but you must know. I promised that I will reveal all my secrets about my quirk.>>
