Never Not
Ch. 112: Mr. White and Black Shadow Disperse?

..."Black Shadow is Shohei's shadow. Not Rai Matsui."...

...~Rai Matsui Ch's. 64~...

...----------------...

A face of disbelief loomed in Shohei's current jet bead. He tried to re-digest all of Seina's words. About the letter that Black Shadow had sent, about the fond memories Seina had touted, and about the reason Seina suddenly kissed her then said if it was their last kiss. Really, he couldn't understand all that! This was hard to accept by his common sense. He hoped to misinterpret the entire sentence that was thrown from the girl's mouth.

When he disguised himself as Black Shadow with the aim of straightening the truth so that his lover did not misunderstand, but what he found was precisely a fact of betrayal committed by the two people. Can you imagine how sick he is currently experiencing?

The more he remembered it, his heart ached like it was torn apart by something. Wound. It is like having hundreds of incisions at the same point. Bemoan. It was like receiving a blow to his face many times. Be ill. All of that filled his heart without being held back. Even without him noticing, a drop of desolation crystal had fallen from the corners of his eyes. All that is still not enough to describe how devastated he is tonight.

"This is our last kiss. Lasshara ...."

Gleamed back when Seina took the initiative to kiss him. Actually, it was their first kiss. Unfortunately, the romantic kiss was not meant for her, but for Black Shadow. Not even just a kiss, a gaze, love, trust, until the tears that the girl showed were not for her. Again, not for her, but for someone who had been her shadow all along. His mind kept asking, how can it be? How could all that happen?

He began to look at it from earlier times. Starting when he often found Seina in the same place as when Black Shadow was doing the action. At one point, Rai even told him that Seina was on the floor of the gallery pot, which was the man's favorite floor with glasses to see the stars.

"Why are you here?" he asked when he accidentally found Seina standing there.

"I ... I feel good. So, I think a walk here will relax me!" That sentence was what Seina had given him and he simply believed it. But after that the girl brushed her hand away and said, "Shohei-kun, I like Black Shadow!"

Stupidly, he considered the phrase honesty in a different sense. He thinks "liking" is meant by Seina is an excessive sense of admiration like idolizing someone.

The girl also blatantly said that she often met Black Shadow in the Tokyo sky tree tower.

"I want to go to Tokyo Skytree tower!"

"Why do you want to go there?"

"I want to meet Black Shadow there. Maybe he's there now. I wanted to beg him to release papa! Helpme! Take me there to see him!"

"Seina, Black Shadow is not in the Tokyo Skytree tower."

"He was there. He's always there done his mission!"

The scene by scene was again revolving in his brain like an old film recording. Every memory is wound. Ironically, Seina once refused her kiss but received a kiss from another man. After the death of the justice minister, the girl also did not want to see him, but instead accepted his presence as Black Shadow a moment ago.

Now, what should he do? How did he take a stand on what Rai and Seina were doing behind him?

At the same time but a different place, Rai sat dumbstruck without making any movement. Apparently, he had an unpleasant feeling. How not, a few hours ago, Shohei called just to borrow his Black Shadow costume.

"I need your help."

"What's wrong?"

"Meet me at the training ground now. Bring your Black Shadow costume."

That was what Shohei said when he called her. Unexpectedly, Shohei said he wanted to meet Seina in a Black Shadow costume. It seems that Shohei mistook her lover's statement at the press conference.

"I can't let Seina think of you as the culprit for her father's murder. I can't let Kazuya Toda use Seina as a tool to sue you" Shohei said.

"But ...."

"I can't explain Black Shadow to her as myself. That would make him suspicious. Only by pretending to be Black Shadow can I influence his thoughts. Be calm! I'm gonna try to make him think there's an incongruity to the case. That way, he won't blame you."

Rai certainly can not dwell even though his small heart does not want Shohei to meet Seina as Black Shadow. However, isn't he selfishly forbidding Shohei to disguise himself as Black Shadow if the reason for fear of secrets happening between him and Seina is revealed?

While his mind was still sinking, Shohei suddenly came with an icy face. The corner of his lips that always expands to be typical every meeting people. But not this time. No friendly faces are seen. Until the man was in front of him, Rai remained seated in the starting position.

For a moment, Rai fell silent. But directly respond. "Good! I hope everything is as you wish."

"really. Everything was in my hopes. He trusted Black Shadow more than I thought," Shohei said with a glare fixed on Rai. At this point, Seina's words reverberated in her mind.

"Yokkata (thank God)." Rai took a deep breath.

"Let's practice again" said Shohei who immediately wore a martial uniform.

Rai was stunned while watching the man's expression. Looking at the seemingly ordinary Shohei, he tried to look relaxed.

They started martial arts training as usual. However, there is something different about Shohei tonight. He continued to attack Rai mercilessly. It suddenly became violent and did not pause at all. The man's expression was so sharp, as if he had actually seen the enemy before him. By installing the wolf's eyes, he continued to make consecutive attacks to make Rai overwhelmed to fend it off, not even having a chance to attack back. Clearly, Shohei's martial ability was much better than Rai's.

One punch struck the corner of his lips until fresh blood seemed to drip. Shohei performs an impromptu maneuvering attack that leaves Rai unprepared to fend off. As a result, falling thrown by holding pain in the chest.

"Woi, what's wrong with you?" rai asked after being quite overwhelmed with the unusual-looking training sessions.

"Can you guess what I know after meeting Seina tonight?" shohei asked with a dark tone of voice.

Hearing that question, made Rai guess what happened. The man turned his eyes to the ceiling and said, "I hope you don't know anything, because I'm not ready to answer any questions from you." Every word was thrown out stiffly.

Rai's words immediately ignited Shohei's emotions. The man approached her, pulling the collar to force her to stand up. "What are you doing with him behind my back? Why did you take her love from me!" he shouted with anger felt thick in every sentence he uttered.

"Gomen," said Rai slowly as he stared at the man's fiery bead.

"Don't you know I trust you more than anyone!" he said with eyes that were hot.

"Gomen." The sentence was back on Rai's lips.

"Explain to me now! I might understand!" shohei said softly with a hoarse tone of voice.

Instead of using the opportunity that Shohei had given him, Rai threw away his gaze instead. Although Shohei's gaze was still fixed on him.

"Gomen," he said again, "he is innocent. Everything's my fault! I was the one who teased him first. I'm the one who's done as good as I want."

At this moment, Shohei released his grip.

"Gomen," said Rai who immediately bowed fully.

"We'll just end up here!" shohei said slowly.

Rai immediately raised his face, looking at Shohei who was so serious with his words.

"Arigatou, has been helping my mission all this time. To be Black Shadow as I wish. Our relationship ends here. You don't need to continue fighting with me anymore" Shohei said with flushed eyes. He chose to turn his body out of the room.

Rai sculpted without being able to take out a single word. Really, he wanted to hold back and asked her to give him a chance to complete the mission. However, for some reason his body was petrified and his legs seemed stuck.

In the end, he was only able to stare at Shohei who started swinging away from him. Every step of the man's foot, brought him into the memory of their togetherness during this year. From the beginning Shohei met him in a state of decline, when the man who worked as a police investigator trained him hard in order to become a brave tough man as expected figures, he said, when he started the mission and successfully captured the public attention, the small celebrations they did each mission successfully. All back to remembering! Unfortunately, it's over tonight.
