Morning of Conflict and Love

Dazzling morning pierced the warming light through the second floor of Hatoshi's Grandmother house. More specifically, the light went inside and enveloped it's warming surface to the teenagers that still fell in a slumbering state.

One of the teenagers , Yuna, slowly opened her sleepy eyes as her skin felt a warm touch by the morning light. She got up her kind of stiff upper body and declared a high pitch yawn to the bedroom.

At first Yuna rubbed the sleepy eyes away and stretched up from left to right for a brief relaxation. The school girl glanced her refreshed sight onto Hatoshi who confidently smirked with his eyes closed.

"Alright Thunder Fang, I'm going to show you what I got." The murmuring voice of Hatoshi was caught by Yuna's ear. "Prepare to meet my blazing construct."

The school girl sheepishly giggled with her close partner murmuring words related with his excited dream world of defeating Thunder Fang. Yuna gently stroked his left chin and tilted her head.

Cheery smile was widely opened from the school girl as she darted closer her sight onto Hatoshi slumbering face. Soft pinching on the school boy's left cheek couldn't awaken him from the heroic dream he had.

Hence, Yuna just released happily glared and changed her pinching hand into an opened palm she placed like a pillow. The cheerful smile of The school girl gotted wider due to the school boy pressing his sleep-walking like murmuring.

"That's a good attack, Thunder Fang, but I had some special trick to counter that." The sparking poised mumbling drummed within Yuna's hearing.

Yuna serenely closed her eyes and caressed the sleepy Hatoshi's hair with her silky right hand. The school boy mumbling about his dream echoed louder especially when a small burst of laughter was released across the bedroom, broadening the joyful smile of his lovely partner as she shook her head.

"You're truly embracing your alter ego inside that sweet dream world, Hatoshi." Yuna admitted through her mind.

"And somehow you've become a close partner with this…let just say a dork in human terms." Another familiar male voice lingered within Yuna's mind with a disgruntled tone.

"He may be a dork and less attractive than other men, but I didn't care about that." Yuna countered with a serene tone, "Because Hatoshi gave me a chance to have this wonderful and happy life after my parents sacrificed, Yuzu."

"I always remember the time when he tried to convince his step parents to allow me to stay." Yuna happily added within her mind, "I'll never forget that."

Shimmering yellow eyes embarked within Yuna's left eyes as she gazed down towards Hatoshi who had his murmuring noise go lower. The school girl gracefully stroked his cheeks once again.

"But, you are also aware this is the same man that you must sacrifice for the ritual." Yuzu argued, "Just like what father did to mother."

Yuzu grunted, "Did you even aware Hatoshi's Uncle is the same person that stopped father from ever completing his goal!!"

"I'm aware of that and I will not try to kill him." Yuna countered through her mind with a hesitant tone, "Because first he is not my primary target, second I don't like being consumed by vengeance, and finally, I…just…couldn't hurt the same person that gave me a chance to have a proper education or even having my own renting house."

Yuzu groaned with an irritated tone, "I admired you as a skillful warrior whenever the training began, but your mind process is…very convoluted and bizarre at the same time. So here is my question, do you still want to fight for making father and mother proud?"

"If yes, kill him!!" Yuzu harshly commanded the school girl's mind, "In front of my naked eyes."

Yuna froze with a sorrowful expression widely colored her entire face, sending shivers through her veins. The yellow eyes of the school girl illuminated a gleaming light like a street lamp shone the night street.

Her rubbing hand was retrieved back and quickly switched into an opened gripping hand, bursting a blue flaming string on the palm. Frightened grit was declared by Yuna as she took a peek at the blue flame wrapped around on her wrist.

The school girl forcibly closed her shimmering eyes as she clenched the blazing-bluish flames fist to prevent a sudden nailing assault. The embarking yellow light began to dim out with Yuna strengthening the clenching fist that washed away the bluish flame-strings on her wrist in an instance.

Yuna sluggishly placed down her tightened fist on the floor after the presence of the wild flame string blinked away from the naked sight. Sorrowful tears dropped down from her eyes socket to the floor in constant seconds especially when she sharpened her sight at Hatoshi.

"Not now…." Yuna uttered through her mind with a hesitant tone, "I needed more time to balance this thought again."

"So, please leave…Yuzu," Yuna added.

"As you wish…Yuna." Yuzu replied chillingly.

Yuzu's lingering presence vanished from the school girl's wind as she felt a rough wind noise passed through one of her ears. Enlivening air was exhaled by Yuna with her capturing the relaxing atmosphere after the other self had left her.

Furthermore, the school girl wiped away the rain dropping tear to form a soft, yet comforting smirk inside the bedroom. A comforting smirk she centered towards Hatoshi who unconsciously kept mumbling about his dream as he whispered with a relaxed vocie,

"Well, the job is finally done and it's time for me to go."

Jolly giggle was fully embraced within Yuna's delighted stare and heaved her stroking palm in a slapping position. With the morning light temporally flashed on the highschoolers, The school girl grabbed her opportunity to softly slap Hatoshi's cheek.

"And for me to awaken you from that fun dream." Yuna mumbled.

The single slap on the cheek ended Hatsohi's journey inside the dream land as he struggled to open his eyes and blurted out an annoyed grunt. Yuna retreated her slapping palm when she watched her close partner raise his upper body and rubbed his back with a sleepy face.

Then, Hatoshi rubbed his sleepy eyes and steered his seemingly fresh expression towards Yuna. Pity eyes colored the schoolboy's entire face as he focused his attention before swallowing the saliva, regaining a little spark of confidence.

"Sorry, I was…overslept." Hatoshi apologized with a tiring tone, "I should not finish my artwork…at 2 AM."

"It's okay, I'm fine with that." Yuna replied gleefully, "Anyway, are you dreaming being a Superhero?"

"I heard you murmuring about defeating…Thunder Fang." Yuna added.

Hatoshi winced in an anxious demeanor especially with Yuna blissfully darted her sight at him. He even bit his lips nervously and steered away the direct attention from his close partner.

Steamy red face of emberassment spread all over the schoolboy especially with his eyes catching the glimpse of Yuna giving a curious glare. The school girl tilted her head to get a crystal-clear look of her close partner's embarrassing expression.

"Damn it, my obsession on doing heroic duty as Sparror….almost completely invaded my mind." Hatoshi complained with an annoyed tone through his mind, "It's very embarrassing that I even murmured."

"But, let's just clarify this odd moment right now." Hatoshi reluctantly added through his mind, "Beside, she most likely has a chance of knowing….that Sparror is me especially thanks to that dream."

Eventually, Hatoshi took a long-deep breath that shrunk down the redness of his face before exhaling it away. The schoolboy steered an assured glare towards Yuna who had been awaited for the jolly answer.

"Yeah…I dreamt about being a Superhero and defeating Thunder Fang." Hatoshi admitted.

Yuna hummed, "Is Sparror the Superhero you become inside that fun dream?"

"Eh…yeah, I became him." Hatoshi replied with an annoyed tone, "Anyway, please don't…continue this conversation?"

"Okay…okay, Hatoshi." Yuna spoke, "I understand."

Cheerful giggled was announced by Yuna as she felt her throat cackling and let Hatoshi to give a brief sigh in relief. The school boy slowly opened his smirk on his close partner who remained giggling before she ended it with a single exhale.

Pondering expression colored Yuna's entire face while tilting her head to the right, witnessing his close partner close the gladful smirk. Instead, Hatoshi gave an anticipated stare towards the school girl especially with the curious-closed lips she presented.

"Anyway Hatoshi, have you ever known who…Sparror is?" Yuna asked with amazed eyes.

Hatoshi chuckled, "Nope, he wouldn't let me answer that for….obvious reason. However, there is one thing I know about Sparror."

"What is it?" Yuna politely insisted, "Tell me now."

"He is a guy that will do anything to keep the world peace, mainly for his loved ones such as….his lover." Hatoshi confidently exclaimed, "That's why he became a…Superhero or even motivated to join the fight against The Distrunian. With his mighty and almost unstoppable power, he knew it can be very useful for a Superhero act "

"He is truly a nobleman from what I heard based on your perspective." Yuna complimented.

The school girl pinched her chin as she was digging for a statement on continuing this morning's conversation with her close partner. Moreover, Yuna gazed at the window view on her right to get a clear refreshment.

Whereas, Hatohi watched his close partner still wondering the suitable point before he glanced at the wooden table beside his bedsheet. The schoolboy widened his confident eyes, especially with him capturing the little glimpse of the paper he drew.

A paper that flashed him a memory at midnight when he traced all the characters contained the drawing. Thunder Fang, Sparror, Chemistra, and even Agano were traced by Hatoshi like a full-detailed picture even though only a simple pencil did the job.

Afterward, the flashes of memory vanished on the scene as Hatoshi steered his attention once again to Yuna. The schoolboy witnessed his close partner raise her eyes with an enlivened stare locked at him.

"Hatoshi, if you one day have a chance to be a real Superhero, will you take it?" Yuna cheerfully asked.

Hatoshi confidently nodded, "Of course, I'll take it. Even though I prefer possessing some kind….of superpower, I'm still going to be one."

"Because there is one reason." Hatoshi exclaimed poised, "I wanted to create a peaceful world where you can fully enjoy it, Yuna. You…are one of the reasons I'm still able to continue living till this day."

Astonishing eyes dropped widely within Yuna's side as she felt both of her hands shaking in an arousing excitement. She latched on her shaking hands onto Hatoshi's cheeks and brought a broadened gratifying smile.

"You..too, Hatoshi." Yuna confessed, "Without you by my side, I'll probably never have this wonderful life."

The schoolgirl smoothly landed a gentle kiss on Hatoshi's lips, luring his hand to hug her softback. They both drowned in soothing comforts, gladfulness, and delightfulness with each other.

Hatoshi strengthened the wrapping hand on his close partner's back and joyfully closed his eyes for embracing the pleasure with the soft kiss moment. While Yuna repositioned her latching hand into wrapping one she placed it on the schoolboy's neck.

However, the rapturing moment between the high schoolers met its end shortly with the drumming noise of knocking on the door from the edge left. Hatoshi quickly opened his surprised eyes and Yuna pushed back her kissing lips away.

"Hatoshi, Yuna, the breakfast is ready." A high pitched voice of an old woman announced to the highschoolers bedroom, "You better go out right now,"

The high schoolers traded their sheepish stares towards each other and let out a cheerful giggle with one another. Furthermore, they quickly both stood up and headed to the door to find a person who had awaited their presence.

As the high schoolers arrived in front of the wooden brown door, Hatoshi slid the door, meeting a familiar face as the greeting for the outside. A ponytail, grayish-curly hair old woman with wrinkles on her cheeks and wearing a clean golden short kimono, glared a disgruntled face to the high schoolers.

"Morning….Grandma." Hatoshi politely greeted with a nervous wince that colored his entire face, especially on witnessing his grandmother's face.

Yukio sighed, "Morning, Hatoshi and your….girlfriend, Yuna."

"Morning too….Grandma Yukio." Yuna replied with a welcoming nod.

"Regardless, let's just go downstairs instead of prolonging your romantic time here" Yukio insisted with an annoyed tone.

Yukio began to walk away from the sight of the high schoolers, giving Hatoshi a chance to exhale the burdening thoughts. Then, Yuna steered a cheerful smirk onto her close partner that opened a relief smile within him before they followed the old woman for enjoying their upcoming breakfast time.
