The Main Course Of The Battle
[UNREVISION] Part 6: Something warm.

"What smoke moon is this?!"

Takai walked towards the smoke, and he saw Seeji disappear in front of the destroyed house with a different look on his face. Seeji was seen crying with empty eyes.

"SEE!"

DEEGGS!

“!!”

Takai awakens, he is surprised to see Seeji is not around after waking up from his dream.

“Seeji!”

He looked for Seeji towards the forest while running, he said,

"Yes!!"

Because he ran too fast, Seeji was unknowingly in front of him. They collided and faced each other at too close a distance.

“Take! Wh-what are you doing?!”

Seeji then pushed Takai roughly.

“Seeji, you're not going - where are you?”

“I'm just training for a while, you think I'll leave you? Like a lost child only.”

“What?!”

“Already, let's go.”

“Seeji, do you want to see your sister?”

Seeji.

“I thought about your offer yesterday. I think if I go back I deviate from my original destination."

"But, it doesn't matter, does it? You can still do it. You said his birthday was in a minute, right? At least say happy birthday to him....."

"It feels embarrassing. He was raised by a rich man's father. There must be more things that make him happy now..."

"Come on, isn't that normal...? You think that makes him happy?"

'I know he's your only family, Seeji. After hearing your story it must be hard to leave it...'

Seeji thought for a moment.

“It's not a short trip, Takai.”

“I have no problem with that... Any where? Your home?”

“If we are in the west, my house is in the east.”

“Heeh? That far?”

“My house is near the mountains, hidden between hills and trees.”

“Mountains?”

“Home and home are different by a few meters. We're gonna walk there looking for another black gem. Maybe about 3 days or a week.”

“Good...!”

"But, Takai... Have you washed your face? I think I saw something."

"Look! Don't say such a shameful thing!!"

Takai then ran towards the sea.

"You guys get our stuff by the fire!"

"Bas with the ringer!"

'The creepy dream...'

Takai remembered that dream.

And then a shadow smiled away from them.

“What if I just start?”

---------------

It was getting late, in the middle of summer and the sun was getting hotter.

“Seeji, don't you feel hot? Summer has reached its peak.”.

“You're right, I don't think we can walk under these conditions.” Seeji was looking for a bottle of water in his bag.

“Oh, out.”

“You mean, no water for the trip this time?”

“Ehm, I think so..”

“I'll be dehydrated this way..”

“I saw the store across there, it looks like..”.

“Good! I can't take it anymore!” Takai cut and ran towards the store.

“Basic..”.

They rested for a while in the shop, then bought supplies and water.

“Takai, come per..”

“Hehe..” Takai bought 2 sticks of ice cream.

“Not buying supplies, you're a snack...”

“No problem no..”

“Like a child only. You look childish after entering this season.”

"Well, this season I'm always waiting... Take.” Takai gives a chocolate ice cream to Seeji.

“No.”

“Receive only!”

Seeji accepts it because Takai is forcing. He licked it slowly.

“?”

“How?”

HAP!

“Eh?”

Seeji then ate it.

“Ehm.enac..” Seeji liked. She smiles.

“!!”

--‘Seeji, I didn't know she was even more cute than a child when she smiled so..’.

“Takai, your ice cream will melt.”

“E...eh!”

“I told you. Basic, less happy childhood.”

"Geeh!! You insinuating me?!"

"Whisper ah, quickly finish...!"

--‘Seeji, has he never felt a summer like this Takai thought back to his mind.

They continued their journey in the middle of the summer heat.

The afternoon. Seeji watched Takai, he looked pale.

“Takai, are you okay?”

“Hm? Indeed why?”

“Your face.. somewhat red.”.

“Ap...what!?”

“You don't get summer fever right?”

“No! I'm fine! I'm not the kind of person who gets sick easily tau!”

“Day is getting darker. Maybe this time we'll sleep inside. Looks like tonight's air will be very piercing."

Seeji then decided to take a break and stay at an inn.

“Hh..”.

“Oh, this time you walk together huh?”

“Who?!”

SRAAAT!

Takai immediately kicked back, Kuroseki attacking suddenly.

“Kuroseki!”

SRIINGO!

Seeji deftly makes dimensions.

“Battle waiter, this time you have a partner huh? And what is this.....? Red and blue gems side by side?”

“Seeji... she knows my strength?”

“Looks like he had the ability to feel power even though he closed his eyes.”.

“Haha... Miss ya... I so... want to see you guys more clearly...”.

SRETT

Kuroseki opened the side of his right eye patch. Strange eye patterns, visible in his eyeballs.

DEGGS

--‘What is this.. after seeing his eyes..I feel like my strength cannot come out...’.

“This is the first time you've seen my eyes.... I don't show my eyes to just anyone, you better be happy...”.

“T..That man, the one who hurt me in the forest... Better, you be careful with him.”

SYUUTS

“!!”

Kuroseki arrived - arriving in front of Seeji. Their eyes clashed with each other.

“It's been a long time... ya?”

Kuroseki threw his power towards Seeji directly. Seeji was far away.

“S...Seeji!”

“Red hoseki, you follow the girl's journey?”

“You!”

Takai attacked kuroseki with his punch. Kuroseki dodged calmly.

--‘Sial... my head is dizzy..

“Red hoseki, you better not follow it..”.

“What do you mean?!”

“Battle waiter is just trying to harness your power. Once you're no longer useful, you'll be thrown away, he won't care about you no matter what you do.”

“No, Seeji is not such a person!”

--‘Cih...my head pulsates..’.

“Do you not think? What did Seeji utsuki do to the owner of the black hoseki he had sealed? He's not worried about his situation... What you see outside is different from what's inside.”.

“Whispering! Stop talking! Whatever you say.... I trust him!”

Takai attacks kuroseki, but he misses.

“What are you following him for when you don't know him?”

“!!”

“Hm... In that case, I'll just try you..”.

Kuroseki kicked Takai up and then attacked Takai with his palm pointing towards his head, and threw him quite a distance away.

BRRAAK!

Takai landed on a tree.

DHOOOR!

“!!?”

“There is still me! Kuroseki!”

Seeji shot Kuroseki with his bullet.

SRIYING!

“Tick seal..”.

“You thought when you approached me I didn't do anything - what? My knife slashed your hand”

“Seal only me..”

Kuroseki underestimated Seeji. His face was not worried at all.

“!!”

No Seal came out from the seal point.

“What?!”

“We temporarily end here, blue hoseki...”.

Kuroseki disappeared before Seeji sealed her.

--‘Any, no seal came out like that time... Is it because he said he was a container?’

“Take!”

Seeji then approached Takai who was in pain from being knocked into a large tree.

“Hey, survive!”

Seeji brought Takai all the way to the inn.

“Takai, did you hear me?”

“S...Seeji..”

Seeji then helps Takai to lay himself on the bed.

“My head hurts...”.

"Kuroseki attacked you right in the head, are you okay?"

"I'm kind.. Let me lie down for a while.."

Seeji then approached Takai and touched his forehead

"What the.. You..!?"

“Just make sure."

"Today is really exhausting..." Takai changed his boss's shirt and removed his headband regardless of Seeji.

"Wear it! What's..."

"What?" Takai answered him in a flat tone. His face looks pale. In addition, her long front hair covered part of her face.

Seeji suddenly felt surprised to see Takai.

"A..I.m out for a second..."

BLAM

Door closes. Takai then went to sleep.

--'What is it.tadi?'

In the morning, Takai wakes up and Seeji is in front of him, trying to check Takai's body temperature.

“Is he okay - okay?”

Seeji brought his tamgan closer, about to touch Takai's forehead.

"Yes.- san.." Takai was delirious, he subconsciously hugged Seeji. Seeji was surprised.

THE PLAAAK!

“Ach...”.

“What are you doing?!”

“Seeji.. You slapped a sick, evil person..."

"You yourself what are you doing!" Seeji looked upset "I thought you were unwell, you were hot, you seemed to have a fever."

"Well, I admit, I'm not strong anymore."

"It was fortunate that I realized it early and immediately looked for an inn. Sick people are like that."

"Heeh...... Besides why did you only book one room with one mattress?”

“Eh?”

“You want to room with me?”

“B...not so! Your condition is not good, especially other rooms are full so I take the existing one.”

“Once...?”

"When you're sick you're still a bitch. Drink up, I'll bring you something" Seeji gave me a glass of water.

“Basic women rough..”

Takai chirps while gulping his white water. Seeji then came carrying a bowl of porridge.

"Now, open your mouth."

"What's? You want to bribe me?”

"Oh? Don't want ya? Yes it is."

"Tu.wait!" Takai held Seeji's hand. Seeji immediately greeted Takai.

"How's it?" Seeji asked with his horrible look.

"It's.ok good."

"You didn't lie, did you?" Seeji suddenly looks cute with that question.

"Eh?! No. I'm not lying."

"Then, great." Seeji arrived - suddenly smiling sweetly. Takai was astonished.

"Se...Seeji..why, did you suddenly become such a smile?"

"Eh? Me? Um... I've heard that sick people feel better when they're happy, so I tried..."

"You're trying to make me happy, aren't you?? In a way like that..." Takai seduces Seeji.

"You want me to hit you again?"

"Eh! Not really..."

"Well.ehm.maybe.."

"A strange theory, where did you get that theory?"

“My sister... who said so..."

“Ah? You trust a little boy?”

"Wrong huh?" Seeji suddenly looks cute again. Takai surprised.

"Ti.no really.."

"Luckily" she smiled again like that. Takai turned his face away.

“Dueh... I wanted to pinch her cheek, but she must have slapped me again”

"That's it, let me eat it myself. It feels uncomfortable"

"All right.... I intend to bribe you because sick people usually don't want to eat."

"Nor did you ah... You've never taken care of a sick person before, have you?"

"Actually never, just pay attention."

"meaning?"

Seeji tells his past to takai. At that time he had not mastered teleportation.

“One...Same...”

“Reeji? What's wrong with you?”

“The training spirit is yes, Onee.sama...”.

BRRUUK !

Reeji fell in front of Seeji's room.

“REEJI!”

Seeji arrived - suddenly moved and was near Reeji.

‘This...teleportation.?’

---------

"Then I took him to his house and laid him on the sofa. Thankfully, no one was there at the time.

“I was very happy when I found out my teleportation ability... I feel freer.”

“Then, if you were able to know your teleporting ability, why didn't you run away from your room in the first place?”

Seeji was silent for a moment hearing takai's question.

“Your mind is too short.”

“What? Short?”

“Hah... I'm sure you must have asked like that..”.

“Eh?”

“I'm trying to find the right time. Besides I'm still afraid to run away.”.

“Hei.”

“And what scares you of it?”

“You want me to tell you?”

“Well, if you mind no need..”.

“I think you should listen to him, you're wasting your time inside the house by locking yourself up. But different from me, I can't go anywhere.”

“Seeji..”.

"I was in prison for running away from my room."

Takai was stunned after hearing Seeji's story.

"Jail....? You're in jail at that young age?"

"My room was nothing more than a prison for me. And when I tried to escape, I was put into a much narrower, colder prison. Without any food."

"How did you survive...?"

"Of course it's Hoseki."

"Jeeji..."

"It was in that prison that I found a way to make weapons, and other ways of fighting."

"You..."

"And the food I have eaten in your house is the most delicious meal since I left my room...."

Seeji smiled silently, Takai fell silent again.

"That time someone took me to bed when I fell and half fainted on the floor. I couldn't get up at that moment, my hand almost broke. I didn't see the face of the man who helped me, but I don't think he's a bodyguard.”

"So you said you put you in jail..."

"Either who he is, but he claims to be my father."

"I can't believe a father can be like that!"

"If it were, he wouldn't be my real father."

Seeji. There was not a single memory of his parents.

“If only... I realized my previous strength... i...”.

"Eh? Has he?"

Seeji snatched the bowl that Takai was holding.

“No need to think too much. All has passed.”

Takai again - again speechless to see Seeji who tried to divert the conversation.

"Seeji, you shouldn't bring up the past if so, you can't look both ways at the same time" Takai argued as he received drinking water from Seeji.

"Yes too..." Seeji smiled and Takai returned his smile.

"Oh yeah, what do you mean, calling me 'kaa-san' earlier?"

"eeh!! That.it.because..." Takai turned his face while scratching his non-itchy cheeks. Reason sought.

"I didn't know you were a spoiled child...."

"It's not so! I thought you were my mom, so...."

"You miss him, don't you?"

"I just dreamt of seeing her holding me...." Takai seemed embarrassed to bring back the incident earlier.

"It's okay, missing someone is natural. That's why we're walking east now."

Takai remembered that their goal was to head east to meet Reeji.

"Last time, I was sick like this when I just lost my father. My mother was always by my side at the time despite all the problems. He is indeed the best.”

"That's when you said you weren't the type to get sick easily.”.

“Yah's... But once it hurts..this is how I.haha..”.

"With such long, uneven bangs you can be very happy"

Seeji commented on Takai's uneven hairstyle while touching his long front hair, which is why he always wears a headband.

“Nothing to do tau!”

He then took his handkerchief and wet it, then put it on Takai's forehead.

"This..”

"Just wear it, you need it."

Seeji then left Takai while carrying the dirty bowl earlier. Takai then lay down.

'Missed? I think it's a sign.' in Takai's mind.

-----------

Night came, and Seeji was still awake. He was looking at the full moon at the window, writing in his notebook.

“My journey is still far..”

Seeji looked out the window. The dark night sky became beautiful with the light of the full moon.

"Look, the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Unconsciously seemed to be talking to himself.

Seeji restrained his sleepiness by continuing to write, but the night got late and he fell asleep on the desk where he wrote.

“Kh...hot...”.

Takai felt bad as he fell asleep. His body felt bound and very hot. Because he was disturbed he dropped the glass that made Seeji wake up.

PRAANGS!

"Well! Taki!" Seeji then approached Takai.

"Wear it! What happened to you?!" Seeji was surprised to see Takai arrive - suddenly muttered and gasping for breath.

Seeji touches the forehead of the takai, the body temperature of the takai is very high, and Seeji is unaware there is a symbol there.

“It....seal black hoseki! I didn't see it before!” Seeji remembered the seal he had seen before.

Seeji felt a strange black hoseki power from the seal.

"Nh..." Takai woke up in his subconscious. He was bound by the dark air coming from his head.

"What..this?"

"Oh? You just realized, huh?"

"That sound, you're Kuroseki!" Kuroseki was in front of Takai with his cold grin.

"Yes, you must have been unconscious when I put a Kuroseki seal on your head during that fight."

"Seals? Uh! That one time!" Takai remembered when the Kuroseki hit him.

"Battle waiter didn't notice it..."

"Suckers! What do you want to do...?!"

Takai tried to let go of the dark air that bound him, he was furious that he had just been taken advantage of.

"I'm just trying to develop hatred in your heart, until you're finally going to kill as Black Petals!!"

"What!?"

Kuroseki tries to make the Takai gem black.

“Akh!”

"Wear it! Hang on!!"

Takai held his head. Seeji felt that the seal was what made him sick.

“Sial!”

SRIYING!

Seeji then channeled his power to the seal slowly, but Seeji also felt the pain that Takai felt.

DEGGS!

'What's this? My body is like being crushed... but.... inside his head... there is a black hoseki..... How do I seal it?'

"Suckers! Get me out of here!"

"Freely, this place is your subconscious, and if your consciousness disappears, then you will lose your identity completely"

"Grove! I can't lose to you just like that!"

"Try as hard as you can, beat me, and untie that bond."

BUUAAGH!

"Nl..shial...." Seeji fell for receiving a blow from Takai towards his face. Takai lost control of his body because of the seal.

"Go from here!!!"

Takai stood up and continued to attack Seeji. Seeji tried to dodge and stop his movements.

"Deliver! Unhand me!" Takai yelling. He looks in pain.

“Take!”

'It would be dangerous if he lost control of the red hoseki, he could just destroy this inn.'

"DIMENSIONS!"

Seeji made a level two dimension. And Takai gets more and more agitated when he's in Seeji's dimension.

'I can't give you a seal point to seal that black hoseki...'

'Wait a minute..Is that why I can't seal Kuroseki? Because his black hoseki had no clear shape?!'

Takai attacked seeji again. Seeji could only avoid it and it was hard to stop his movements. Seeji attempted to channel his power into the seal on the takai's forehead.

BRRRAA!

“AKH!”

Seeji fell towards the chair and crashed into the wall due to a hard blow from Takai.

In his subconscious, Takai tries to finish off Kuroseki, but in reality Takai beats up Seeji unconsciously.

“What did you do to me!? Get me out of here!”

“Heh, great punch..”.

“Why he didn't dodge my attack..”

Kuroseki binds Takai more strongly.

“Kh...ahk!”

“You better shut up and be my pawn..”

“BASIC YOU!!”

Takai forced himself and approached Kuroseki. Takai tried to strangle him.

“You must not be aware of what your body is doing right?”

“What do you mean.?!”

“You have been in control since the beginning.”.

"WHAT!?"

Takai strangles Kuroseki more powerfully.

“T...Takai...kh...”.

Takai strangled Seeji who was lying on the floor. Seeji was still trying to channel his power even though Takai was strangling him.

"Takai.. don't let.. hoseki black... master you!!"

Takai strangled him even harder, then his eyes turned black.

"You just beat up someone you've been with you for a long time." Kuroseki's blindfold opened next to Takai's attack, then he looked at Takai with his sharp and calm eyes.

"Someone....? Who...? Hhah..!? What's this....?!" Something gray blocked his vision.

Seeji noticed Takai's eyes were about to fade away.

"Don't....! You're..."

"!!"

'Black Hoseki will take his consciousness.There is no other way than to use blue hoseki to unseal it..... the risk is too great.....'

-"Whatever you say, I believe him!"--

'He said so. no. I can't let Takai become Black Petals...!!'

With all his might Seeji channeled his blue hoseki into the seal on Takai's forehead.

"RE....SEALS!! KA...I..!"

With a broken sentence, Seeji used his Fuin ability to unlock the seal.

'As I thought.. white hoseki tried to break through my blue hoseki...'

"I hope it works...!"

Suddenly Takai who had strangled Seeji very strongly took it off and fell beside Seeji.

BRUISES

“No!!”

"Now is the time." Kuroseki pointed his hand at the kuroseki seal that was on Takai. Takai did not move, his memory was chaotic.

'What... This.... ? Who... i....? What am I doing..here is...?'

"HEELS!"

Seeji shouted Takai.

'That sound....'

"Don't leave me alone.... You're strong, why do you have to end up here? lt's bad!"

Seeji approached Takai and was still trying to channel his strength, even though he was exhausted and battered.

'Strong one? Is that so... me..?'

"You can't give up..... Don't leave me scared here, aho!"

Seeji was almost desperate, Takai did not move, he was like dead. Seeji tried to drain his power more, and enlarged the black hoseki seal he opened.

‘This feeling.... Seeji..’ Takai's consciousness is starting to return.

"What!?"

Kuroseki was surprised to see the blue jewel light coming out from his seal.

Seeji managed to channel his power. The dark Eve that binds Takai is released.

"You think you've won? Too bad whatever happens, I won't forget who I am!"

Takai then attacks Kuroseki with his fists and kicks. Kuroseki looked exhausted, Takai gave no gap at all.

"GET YOU OUT OF MY BODY!! TROUBLEMAKER!"

SRIINGO!

The light of the red gem then made Kuroseki come out of Takai's consciousness.

"Milk..."

As Kuroseki breaks out of his seal, Seeji shoots him with a gun in his left hand, but Kuroseki disappears before Seeji attacks him.

"Failed...."

SYUUT!

"Wear...! Hah.hh..."

Seeji almost fainted, but he tried to hold her back.

KRRAAK.....

--”What is it? Is it just my feeling? Something's cracked.”.

Kuroseki's seal on Takai's forehead begins to disappear, Seeji touches Takai's forehead and tries to cool him down. Takai started to wake up

“Hei... Idiot... You heard me.?...”

Takai's vision was still unclear. He saw Seeji who was like crying and frightened.

“Do not.. look at me... like that... Stupid takai.” Seeji.

Takai who was lying down then held Seeji's cheek. His hands brought them closer, Takai kissed him subconsciously.

‘A...Ta...kai...’.

"Seeji's... Don't cry. I'm here...."

Takai touched Seeji's cheek gently. His hand almost fell, and Seeji held it back, then clasped it tightly.

"Basic....Bo..doh..."

Seeji felt weak because of the pain he had just experienced. He lost consciousness along with Takai beside him. They fell asleep on the floor.

--'What is this feeling?'

--’Any...when my chest never beats this fast..what because of what just happened?’

--’Hhah...then why do I feel something that makes me happy...?’.

--------------

"Where..this?"

Takai woken. The sun in the window was still low, it was morning.

"Oh yeah, this is at the inn. Wait, I fell asleep on the floor? And..this? Seeji?"

Takai wonder that is on his forehead is not a handkerchief but a hand like a seeji. Takai saw Seeji sleeping beside him. His hand was still tightly held by Seeji.

"Jeeji...." Takai tried to wake her up and called her slowly.

"Engh..

"Good Morning.... Seeji..." Takai smiled gently at Seeji with his sun-drenched hair. Something made him look different.

"Huh!!" Seeji surprised. Seeji looked at Takai for a moment.

"eek... Uh!!!"

Seeji just realized he was holding Takai's hand since earlier. He's Refek took it off.

"Why... Seeji...?"

Seeji's face flushed red, he looked embarrassed considering yesterday's incident. But Takai doesn't remember it.

"What's Seeji? Your face flushed... Don't don't you get infected?! And why are there so many bruises on your body?"

Takai directly touched the forehead of seeji. He looked worried seeing the bruises and cuts on Seeji. Seeji looked very surprised, he was not yet wrinkled and was fixated stiffly.

"Wait on! Seeji...! There's a mark on your neck..."

As Takai's hand approached her neck, Seeji finally moved.

"You're this....!"

"See...he?"

"FUCK STUPID KNOW!!!"

BUAAAGH!!

Seeji did not hesitate to take off his hard punch to the plain face of the Man.

"What do you mean Seeji? You suddenly hit the person who just woke you up!!''

"Then what do you mean act like that huh?!!"

"Heeeh...? Your own fault, you said you wouldn't sleep with me!"

"You think I did it on purpose?!!"

“Whatever... Why are we sleeping on the floor? Seeji?”

“Eh? You don't remember..?”

“Do not - do...”.

Takai guessed - guessed with his mouth grinning widely.

“Hey, what's with that disgusting look.?”

“You really want to sleep with me huh..?”

“What...?!! Don't think about it - no ah!! Basic Man Doesn't Know Himself!!”

"Eeh.you..."

"Shut up!!!"

"Jeeji...."

"Whispering!!"

"Don't – don't you...."

"I SAID SHUT UP!! IT'S NOISY!!"

BUUAAGH!

Seeji was actually very happy to see Takai smiling again, he just couldn't reveal it....

----------

"You want to take this thing...?! This is not a toy! Why did you enter this room!?"

"But it's not your toy either..."

WHOOOS!!

The fire broke out and ignited everything in the room.

"What..?! What'sthis?! Who're you?!"

"You forgot your son..."

"You?!"

"Let me take this..."

"JOHRAN!!!!"
