"Finally, you're awake."

"You should be having summer camp right now." Aoi replied.

"I don't have time for that." Amezawa is known to be the strongest student in Class 2-B, and her arrogance reminds me of someone strong as well.

"It's a good opportunity for me actually. Let's spar. I need to test out my Quirk."

What?!

Amezawa scoffed. "As much as I want to punch you in the face, it would be too easy hurting a sick little kid."

Aoi continued to speak.

"Since your blaming this little kid for killing the one you love, won't it be a good opportunity? Although I highly doubt that you could do anything."

"What?!" Amezawa's sapphire blue eyes turned turned purple.

"That's enough for the two of you."

"Senpai don't intervene with us." Amezawa glared at me.

"Why do you have to protect her?"

"It is the job of us heroes--"

"Again with that excuse! I don't want to listen to that excuse!"

Aoi replied calmly. "Then don't ask that question."

A thunder rumbled from the outside. Amezawa's eyes turned from purple to violet.

"Why are you mad? You should ask the questions for the answers you really want to know. And I'll answer all of them once you spar with me."

"Don't make me laugh. Are you sure you remember everything?"

"I don't remember."

I looked at Aoi. It's impossible that she's only joking. What makes her say that?

"Hah?" Amezawa glared at her.

"But I know everything."

"What..? How?!"

"I'll answer everything once you spar with me. You don't have to win."

Amezawa paused for a moment. I held Aoi's shoulder.

"Aoi, this is an outrage." Her hand held mine and pulled it away from her shoulder.

"Fine. But I'll win." Amezawa agreed to Aoi's proposal.

"Don't waste you pride." Aoi replied.

"I won't allow it. Amezawa you should leave."

"I'll be waiting, Kiseki." She smiled and left the room.

When the door slid shut, I stood up and faced this rebellious girl sitting on the bed.

"Aoi what are you thinking?!"

"As I said, it's a good opportunity to test my Quirk."

"No! You just woke up." Aoi didn't respond. She's not even looking at me.

So I held each side of her head to turn her head up.

"Aoi look at me."

Her eyes stared into mine.

"Listen to me. You're going to hurt yourself. Are you going to waste all the sacrifices we did to you? Are you making Kuroiwa's death in vain?"

Those eyes remained emotionless. Is there any way to break through her?

"Quite the opposite actually." She replied. "I'm making full use of his sacrifice."

She's serious. But I can't understand her.

"About what you said earlier. What do you mean you don't remember? You said that you're back."

"I am back, but I don't remember anything before the comatose. Those memories will never come back."

"Then how are you back?"

She held both of my hands

"Like I said, I know everything and I'm making full use of his sacrifice."

I pulled my hands away from her.

I still couldn't understand anything. Aoi...why? She's acting on her own again. I need to do something. I can't leave her alone.

"I'll permit you to spar."

"I never asked for your permission."

"But you'll spar with me."

While holding my umbrella at the front yard, the door of the western house opened.

"I knew it was you. The rain was different." The young man stated. "It's amazing that you found us. I need to ask Shouto to reprimand his classmate."

He had a messy black hair, pale white skin, black colored clothes, and  distinct metallic silver eyes that reminds you of a sword's gleam.

"Where is she?"

"Why do you ask? You know she's here."

"I need to see--"

"Nope." He raised his index finger. "You're not included in this mission Ara-chan~"

I glared at him.

"Why are you trying to protect her?"

"Isn't a hero's job to protect people?"

"Why her?"

"Why not?"

This guy..!

A thunder clapped.

"No need to be so angry Ara-chan. She's not the Aoi you know. You might even get along with her. Oh! I'll let her meet you soon. I'm sure you'll become best of friends--"

"Cut the crap Shin!"

A lightning cracked the sky along with a strong thunder. But he didn't even budge. This guy was never afraid of me. He understands me.

"I know she's not the one you're looking for."

I bit my lip.

He's the only one who understands me, but his eyes are looking at someone else. Someone who doesn't deserve it.

This guy in front of me, stepped out of the porch and into the rain. The heavy rainfall soaked him immediately but as he walked closer, I couldn't back away.

Damn it! I'm so full of crap.

His cold soaked body embraced me, but I felt warm inside. My hand dropped the umbrella.

Why do I still love you?

I hugged him back

"Arashi. Please understand and let your feelings go."

I can't. I can't damn it!

My hands crumpled the back of his black soaked shirt.

"You know that someone is waiting for you. And he's the one you should love, not me."

Tears fell from my eyes.

That was the last time I saw Kuroiwa Shin.

ARASHI

My eyes stared at the purple umbrella on the umbrella basket beside the building's entrance. I always bring one even though I don't need it due to my Quirk. I can control the weather so even if it rains I can order the rainfall to not touch me, but I enjoy the sound of rainfall on my umbrella.

This was the umbrella I brought when I last saw him.

"So you were here all along." A familiar rough voice stated. I looked up.

His spiky hair and red eyes would look intimidating and scary to other people but I'm not scared of him at all. I looked away from him.

"It's still him, I see."

I chose to ignore him and took the umbrella from the basket then started walking away. But before I could leave he grabbed my arm.

"Why? Why does it have to be him?"

"Katsuki."

"Why can't you choose me?!"

The rain started pouring as well as my tears.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hello! This story took a year to update. I am so embarrassed with myself >///<

The last P.O.V. is a teaser for another fanfiction that I am planning to write. Yes it's in the same world as Aoi and if you're a BNHA fan, I'm sure you can already guess who is the Male Lead for the fanfic.

Let it be known that I am planning to write SCL (the fanfic's title initials) after this one, and I'm not entirely sure if I could gain enough motivation and inspiration to create the fanfic (since I'm already stuggling in finishing this.)

Anyways, feel free to tell me if the teaser caught your attention in the comments and I'll reveal the story title in the next chapters. 😉

I'll be here continuing binge publishing this story due to Quarantine...

See you soon~
