The Another Soul
Ch. 6

"....Gio..."

Hm? Who called me.

"Sergio!"

I feel like a hand is touching my shoulder hard. His hand squeezed my shoulder.

And it hurts.

I opened my eyes slowly. And the first thing I saw was Rakka's face looking at me worriedly.

"Bright... Thank goodness."

Rakka breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at him confused.

"Because you woke him up too soon, it's all like this."

"Like.... This is?"

I don't understand Rakka's intentions.

My throat feels dry, and my body feels like... I don't know. I feel pain in certain parts.

"Rakkah.... Water."

My voice even sounded raucous and slow. How many days I don't drink water.

"uh? Waita minute. I'll get it."

Rakka quickly went to the kitchen. He even ran.

I don't see Fahrez here. Where's she. I looked around my room. There was no significant change, but I saw a window that was wide open.

And I know why Fahrez isn't here.

What I see now is too... I don't know. I was confused to explain what I saw. But the point is there are two people who move fast. I could only see a shadow passing by, but I knew which one was Fahrez. His black leather jacket was too flashy.

When I want to get out of bed, I can't move. I raised my hand, still couldn't. Out of curiosity I raised my head slowly. I saw the white chain that tied my hand. Then I turned to my feet, I saw the same thing.

"What's this?"

"Don't get up yet."

Rakka came with a glass of water in her hand. He was quickly next to me. Then he sat down, in my study desk chair.

I'm staring. Besides, I can't get up if my hands and feet are tied like this.

"Can you let go?"

Rakka.

"You know, I'm starting to get upset with you two. You guys just walked into my room. And all I see is that you two are here just causing trouble. You don't give me any explanation, what happens when you burn photos and what I see in dreams."

Rakka's surprised. He had a shocked expression as well as a fear. I don't know why he's afraid.

"So can you take this chain off? I want a good explanation."

Rakka. The meaning of his gaze is unclear. But all I see is that he doubts me.

"Before that" Rakka spoke. "What's your name."

Huh huh? He's not kidding, is he?

"Fahrez said he knew who I was. Why tell me my name."

"Just make sure."

I'm staring. Rakka looked back at me. What's the matter? It's getting confusing.

Not wanting to prolong the problem, I began to introduce myself.

"My name is Sergio Vandelhein. A loner High School student, has no parents, and is just an unattractive person. Satisfied."

Rakka nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, you're clean."

The chain that had tied me up before disappeared. I quickly got up and stretched my body. I think my body is all crumpled.

I don't know why it feels de javu.

"Bright..... Legacy. Now, you can explain what happened. Fahrez and Rakka."

Rakka looked at the window. There, Fahrez was sitting while looking at the sky. Sometimes he whistles, and I think he's happy.

"Hm? You want an explanation. I'm not the right person, just ask Rakka. He knows more than I do."

"No. I want an explanation from you two. You've been making a lot of trouble, now responsibility."

Fahrez looked at me. Then he looked at Rakka. Rakka who saw him only nodded small.

"OK" Fahrez jumped into the room. "What kind of explanation do you want."

"Exposing from the beginning. From the dark woods, and you're the one chasing me in the back of the day."

"Oh, what happened 3 days ago."

"Yes, the 3rd incident of har-"

Wait for. I heard something strange.

"THREE DAYS!!"

I'm yelling. Rakka on my left covered her ears.

Fahrez with a calm face just nodded. "Yes, three days you were unconscious. Take it easy, we both have your school permits."

"Why do I feel something bad. But, no thanks."

"Sama-sama, so you want to hear an explanation of who it used to be. Me or Rakka?"

"You two. I should say it again."

"No, there's no need. I'm just confused to explain."

Fahrez is staring at Rakka now. Rakka just kept daydreaming during my talk with Fahrez.

"Rakka, what's wrong?"

"You why? Don't daydream in the middle of the conversation."

Rakka shakes. "I was just thinking about something. Sergio, if it's not wrong you said a dream? What did you see in that dream?"

"Dreams?"

I tried to remember it, but I remembered it vaguely. I saw a brown-haired man talking to a young girl with black hair. They talk, but I can't hear.

Yes, that's my faint memory. I used to remember everything, but now I don't.

"I don't understand any of this. I don't know, I forgot about that dream. It felt in my head like a broken cassette."

Rakka looked at Fahrez this time. Rakka gave a meaningful look and Fahrez nodded slowly.

What else is this. My race they're just playing code that I don't understand.

"Tell me what you're hiding. You're too mysterious."

"nothing. So let's start with our two introductions. All you know is names, not others." 

Fahrez had a point. But I'm still curious.

"Alright, I understand if you don't want to talk about that sensitive thing."

"Thank you."

"Together."

I answered Rakka. He looks quiet now.

"I'm first, my name is Fahrez Alluva, I'm a Demi-human. A mixture of man and devil. Yes.. Actually I'm more dominant demon anyway, but my human side is still there. So just calm down."

"Next I, my name is Rakka Hartez. A human, but it can be some magic. Take it easy I'm a man, not a woman."

"Hm? So what is a Demi-human, and a witch in my house? It seems as long as I'm unconscious something happens. Can you explain."

"Aah.... That's because there is... Rakka you explain. I don't really understand."

Fahrez, it turns out he's a fool.

Rakka nodded. "So actually, we're here because of another soul that's in your body."

I nodded in understanding.

"So you want to take this soul?"

Rakka shook her head. "If we want to take that soul. It's the same as killing you, and killing that good side of the soul."

"Kill me?"

I don't get it.

"In short, your soul and that other soul have already fused together. I saw your eyes, and that's enough to be proof."

Blue eyes, is it? I can't believe these eyes are proof of that.

"And not only your eyes, the strength you showed when you were angry at that time is also evidence."

Oh I got it.

"So you came here because you wanted to protect me and my soul? Why didn't you take this soul before it fused with me?"

"For your first question, yes. We're here to protect you, and for a second question. We can't take this soul inside your body. As I said before, if we force it, the good side of the soul will disappear, and the soul will turn into a demon."

"And it doesn't seem like that. Am I going to die? Not really."

Rakka nodded slowly.

"If we force you, you will most likely die. The reason is, when another soul is drawn, then your soul will also be attracted. You are most likely still alive only about 1%."

"Pretty dangerous. And my question is, who will attack me. It seems to be connected to my past."

They both look back at each other. This time there was a doubtful look from Rakka.

"Let me explain" Fahrez took over. "Your enemy is actually your own power."

"Huh?"
