S-RANK, S-RANK, S-RANK
Sirens go off everywhere in the guildhall
The room turns bright red, indicating the level of mana is unnatural but the colour meant more than that.. the air it self turned suffocating
The analyst nearby goes into shock, panic, he had seen hundreds if not thousands of readings but this.. This was something he had never witnessed
In the world of yogurd…
S-rank hunters were the living anomaly, treasures, considered rarer than diamonds
Sukiro's eyes reflect the ball, his eyes shined brighted red like the eclipse
for a moment he goes silent..his Feelings go numb..
No happiness, no sadness, stillness...
The stronger you become the more weaker you truly start to become..
Sebastian watched in confusion… his face had turned pale..
The party watched the results, the only thing they had understood was that he was an S-rank..
Elijah looked around the crimson red room again and again as if he was waiting for something
Klaus and sirius stood still.. They couldn't understand it.. Their eyes widen
The people outside knew there was a new S-rank in the room but as soon as they saw the light from beneath the door, they stood still
"Sukiro…" sapphire called out her voice barely leaving her mouth
"Sukiro…?" she called out louder this time
She slowly walked towards him, trying to approach him
But there was this weird feeling.. Eerie feeling..
Her hand raised, slowly approaching him
But sukiro stood there still, his face still looking at the crystal..
Sapphire hesitated, her hand drawn back, she stood between the line of love and fear
She approached him but his eyes and his body were still fixated on the results that he hadn't moved a muscle..
Sapphire stood still, her eyes widened, gulping for air..
She couldn't understand what she needed to do
Sebastian walked towards him his steps rushing towards them
His hand grabbed sukiro his face twisted with frustration "sukiro!" he screamed
Sukiro's head turned almost as if it was about to fall off..
His eyes were lifeless, yet they still reflected the red from the crystal…
That's when he realized… his eyes were never reflecting the light..
If anything
The light was not shining on him..
It was shining from him..
Sukiro snapped back to reality, his eyes turned back to the colour of nature, green..
He stared blankly at Sebastian, as if he was confused
"Sebastain??'" he muttered underbreath
The entire party stared at him as if he had committed a crime..
The red started to slowly fade away.. Dimming and dimming
Sukiro looked at them, his face tensed up and his lips flickered "what happened?" he asked
His eyes looked over at the one place he always sought comfort in, sapphire…
But today even those kind eyes refused to look at him..
Sukiro stood there in shock.. It felt like a dagger in his heart
Sapphire didn't want to look at him..
The one who was the first to accept him..
His own family..
His eyes widened, the air turned heavy
His lips tried to flicker into a smile, but he couldn't bring himself to do it
He raised his hand trying to reach her "sapp-hir..e?" his hand was stopped
Sebastian grabbed his wrist.. His face expressionless.. Sapphire clinged on to him..
He looked over to everyone..
But everyone just turned their heads down
Elijah looked at him, his head nodded at him "no"
Sukiro nodded as he retreated his hand..
He smiled at them, the smile that ached his soul..
He slowly walked out the door
Just as he let his foot outside he was bombarded with people asking him to join their guilds' party and more
"Mr please join our party! We are one of the strongest out there!"
"Mr join our guild we will offer you all the money you need"
"Mr Join us!, we will make you the vice captain!"
"We asked him first!"
"No, we asked him first!"
And before you know it a fight broke out while sukiro stood there confused overwhelmed and mostly surrounded by people
He took a breath and looked around and then jumped!
He landed where no one was and slowly walked away..
Inside the room it was still silent..
The air somehow felt different..
The analyst spoke up "I have to inform the guildmaster, so i shall take my leave now" he opened the door and made his way out
Everyone stood still, sapphire still clinged on to sebastian
Klaus and Sirius still had their heads down..
Yet elijah, he stood their tensed
He sighed as he placed his hand on his forehead "what are you guys doing!?" he yelled
Everyone was taken by a surprise, the room echoed his words
"You let him walk out the room!" he yelled in disbelief
"What were we even supposed to do?" sirius mumbled, his voice deepened
"Stop the kid obviously!" Elijah groaned
Everyone looks away… silence yet again
Elijah groans "unbelievable, seriously" he storms out the room still muttering something
Sukiro slowly walks away, the noises become distant just like his memories, he walks until there is no one offering him anything, no shouts and not the name that once seemed like home
He drops down near a tree with his back on it.. The silence is heavy, suffocating
His throat feels heavy, he gulps
He looks at his hands as they tremble, his vision starts to waver as if something was in his eyes
And then something falls down on his cheek
Wet, warm
He places his hand on his cheeks
"What is.. This?"
"Tears..?"
And then the memories hit him..
Sapphire refused to look at him, her face scared. Sebastian grabbing his hand refusing to let him approach sapphire
Klaus and sirius looking away, elijah in disappointment
Suddenly his eyes start watering more and more..
"Maybe I am a monster.." he thinks to himself
He coaches into a ball
"Do they hate me now?, am i truly something evil"
His chest starts to feel heavy.
Every frame of their faces cut through him, he laughs weakly not joy but disbelief
"Guess even S-ranks break, hun?"
His breathing starts to break, he pants gasping for air
"Why am I such a monster?" he tries the best so that no one hears him but the gasps for air break through..
Leaves crunch behind him, a familiar sigh follows
Sukiro doesn't look up, he doesn't want anyone to see him like this, to see him se weak
"You sure do know how to disappear don't you?" Elijah mutters, his tone dry, worn out "you sure this isn't the first time?"
He drops down beside him just enough so that he doesn't look at him, he knows sukiro hates people seeing him as weak
"You had them scared today"
"The same people who would give up their lives for you with out a single thought"
Sukiro sobs quietly, wiping his tears
"I do-n't und-stan..d" sukiro spoke his voice breaking
"I d-on't even k-now.."
"That's fine" elijah spoke
"See that's the thing, you don't know what happened and they don't know what happened which ended up scaring both sides"
"Maybe i am a monster, maybe you should have just left me in that dungeon, at least all of you would still be happy" sukiro mumbled sobbing
Elijah's face turned into angry "none of them have every seen you as a monster or ever hated you, so you better shut the hell up" he roared
"I am just a freak…" his hands digged into his shoulders
"No.. no you aren't, you are the little boy we found casually sleeping in the most dangerous place like it was his bed" he laughed a little
"And none of them, would ever want that to go differently"
"No matter what"
Sukiro finally looked up..
Elijah turned towards him and really looked at him, really looked at him
"You are our freak sukiro" he smiled
"And a clumsy, unfunny, not to mention bratty one"
Sukiro chuckled weakly.. A small laugh echoed through the cold brezze
"You are lik....like a.." elijah held his words
He couldn't say them, not that he ever did before..
Sukiro looked at him confused..
He smirked "forget it"
"Power never saved anyone from loneliness sukiro, take it from someone who knows"
"Well they leave me?" sukiro spoke his tone was scared
"You wish" Elijah sighed
"Will you?"
Elijah's eyes widened, the air stopped
He looked at sukiro
Not as the S-rank hunter, the anomaly..
But now as a boy who was crying under a tree sacred that everyone he loves might leave him
"no.. " he muttered his voice nearly breaking "no.. as long as.."
Sukiro sat waiting for his words
"As long as i am alive" his eyes changed.. Something no one had seen in a long time.. His gentle and caring eyes
His eyes started wavering he instantly looked over
"Look the sun is setting we better get back before everyone gets concerned in where their little monkey disappeared to"
He got up as he cleaned himself
"Come on, lets get going now"
