The Earth After Rebirth

They spent the little time they had left on food stalls. It was overall a successful day, they had great fun at the park.

It was getting late and colder, but Kiro was still feeling the warmth of accidently forcing Isla to hug him. He didn't regret it one bit. The choices were between pushing her forwards or pulling her to him after all.

He may not have been well versed in relationship. But he knew pushing her to fall on the other side wouldn't have been smooth at all. To make it even better, she gave him her ID without a second thought and asked him for his.

"Ah, I have to take a leak, I'll be back."

They all decided to, they'd been eating and drinking juice all day after all. As they approached the toilets, they heard voices inside, having a heated argument.

That caused them to freeze by the entrance.

The toilets were both at the same building, but designed with a passage before entering into the men's side or the women's side. The voices came from the passage.

Isla was about to walk in when Kiro pulled her away once again, and put his index finger on her lips as he noticed she was about to speak up.

"I've always known you didn't like me like that, I knew about your obsession for her, I always thought, maybe I can change him... I can't believe you'd just abandon me like that." The female voice echoed throughout the area.

Though nobody stopped to listen, the park was packed and very noisy. You'd only hear this, if you were coming to use the toilet.

"Will you lower your voice?" The male voice shouted back.

"Afraid daddy will hear how much of a failure his son is? Hoping they let you in the sanctum? I know you know they won't."

"What did you just say?"

Thud—Thud—Thud

They could hear the fists pounding on flesh. Kiro and Hiro didn't know what was going on, or who those people were, that's why their bodies moved on their own.

The scene in front of them, a woman was lying on the ground in a fetal position, protecting herself. The guy continued stomping, they felt his rage before they could even see it.

Kiro tackled the guy to the floor and pinned him down. The lights came on in the passage, as the girls switched it on.

"What the? Isaac?" Kiro said with a tired sick tone.

Your adventure awaits at m-vlempyr.

Suddenly his day was ruined. He had just saved Ursa, the girl who had no issue ruining his life. He was conflicted, but took solace in that, his mother would probably be proud of him.

But the moment he recognised the stupid face, he reacted by instinct and twisted his arm more than he should've.

"Get off me you rat, this is none of your business." He wriggled around trying to break free, but Kiro was able to stop him from getting up.

"You're right it's none of my business, but not on my watch. Do it in your dorm next time, you dumb coward."

This was when he realised that, the anger for their shenanigans hadn't left him, he'd just shoved it down. It was threatening to climb back out, as he wanted to bash his head on the floor.

"What you did to my friend isn't great." Hiro said, helping Ursa to her feet. "I'm not obligated to help you, I don't want to, but my friend here is, a better man than me I guess. Please get out of here." He said smiling coldly.

Kiro watched this scene with pride in his heart, Hiro's shy personality was fading by the minute. When they first met, he'd blow up with anger before he said anything. But now he could at least communicate his anger.

"Sorry, thank you." She quickly ran out of the toilet.

'Sanctum? What is that, should I force her to tell me and say that makes us even?' Kiro wondered letting Isaac loose.

"Hahaha, you're dead meat rats, you dare put your dirty hands on me." He laughed maniacally lying on the floor. "Buying nice clothes won't rinse the smell and dirt you come from."

"Oh these?" Kiro pointed at the new clothes he was wearing, "you paid for them." He smirked seeing the horror on his face.

"W-what do you—what are you talking about?"

Kiro passed him without another word, he was really pressed, his bladder was full.

When the girls saw they resolved this without beating Isaac senseless. They entered their toilet.

"Waynworth, I'm warning you—"

"Warning me with your dad's power?" He asked washing his hands. "I'm not afraid of you Isaac, not even a little bit, your power is only borrowed it's not really yours." He came face to face with him.

"I'll be the family head, to say the power isn't mine is a delusion, rat." He said proudly.

"What are you still even doing here? Asserting your dominance? The girl you could overpower is gone. Without your goons, I'm afraid you're just a weakling." Kiro walked away after saying that.

They decided to wait for the girls at the door. Being in the same space as Isaac suffocated him for some reason. He didn't trust himself not to punch him in the mouth.

Isaac rushed forward and purposely bumped into Kiro.

"Oops." He said without stopping and continued toward the door.

'Calm down Kiro, don't be stupid, they already implicated your family, they can probably do way worse. Calm down.' He tried to calm himself down.

Isaac hadn't gone out the door when he noticed Isla coming out of the girls toilet. His face lit up, he didn't notice that they arrived here at the same time.

She had heard half of the things Isaac said to Kiro, she knew he was probably about to blow up with anger. So she went and linked his arm with hers.

Kiro's anger melted immediately. He didn't know what it was but the aura that Isla radiated gave him a peaceful state of mind.

So they left Isaac, who was still as a statue, dumbfounded at what just transpired.
