《Tasteless》Chapter 74 [Losing everything again]
Advertisement
Kagome screams as she charges toward me while screaming her heart out. I can feel her intention of cutting me down. Suddenly, everything quiet down and the bloodlust I felt was no more. Then I hear it, a sound of a woman crying. No, more precisely a sound of a mother who mourns for her son and I open my eyes to see the katana blade is only a few inches away from my face.
I look behind the blade, seeing Kagome sobbing in so much pain. Her eyes became red as the tear spilling out and her mouth tremble as a few small incomprehensible noise escape her lips.
"I l-love my son," Kagome stuttered.
"He died in my arms. I felt his body shattered," Kagome continues.
"He wanted to save the world," Kagome said.
Kagome pulls back her Katana and lets it fall to the floor. She fell to her knees and continue sobbing. I drop to my knees wanting to comfort Kagome. She notices my action and quickly wraps her arms around me. Kagome continues to sob on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Haru," Kagome apologize.
"I'm sorry for being weak," Kagome continue.
"I remember your last word," Kagome said.
"You did save us," Kagome whispered.
Even though Kagome said those word to me but it was never meant for me, it was for the real Haru. Kagome tears wet the area around my shoulder and I felt the warm tears absorbing into my cloth. I wrap my arms around her, her body jolt but she continues to cry. I notice behind her back there a scar running down her spine.
"I'm not your son," I said.
"But if I was one, I would say that I miss you," I continued.
"I miss you too," Kagome replied.
She let me go and proceed to place her hands on both of my cheeks. She slowly touches our forehead together. I look at Kagome crying face, her eyes watering but a smile crept on her lips. She is just like me, she loses something precious to her and that led her astray. Sometimes, something bad happens to you in the past, you either come out better or come out broken.

"It's okay, I'm here," I said comforting here.
"T-thank you," Kagome said.
Suddenly, a man voice echoed in the room. I look around to find the source of that voice and I realize it coming from a loudspeaker in the office.
"Sorry to interrupt your bittersweet moment," An unknown man said.
"I can't believe you failed me, Kagome," He continues.
"Screw you!" Kagome cursed.
"SCREW YOU, DAIKI!" Kagome cursed again.
"Daiki? That is the name of Haru father," I said aloud.
"I should have known you would fail me," Daiki said.
"I'm not following your order anymore!!" Kagome bark.
"You have no choice, Kagome," Daiki said.
Suddenly, Kagome screams in pain as her head pull back. The scream stops and she lay on the ground, drool coming out from her mouth and body twitching. It's her scars, he planted inside of her.
"Hang in there, I will find a way to help you," I press another button on my gauntlet to turn on my radio comm to communicate using my gauntlet.
"Cindy! help there something in her back we need to get it out," I said.
"Haru *static* I *static* can't hear *static* clearly," Cindy voice breaking.
"Cindy!" I said.
"There something *static* blocking *static* our comm," Cindy voice breaking.
"Say goodbye to your friend," Daiki said.
"what?!" I said.
Kagome body contorts again as she screams in pain. Then I look out the glass pane and saw three rockets in the sky heading toward the area of my base.
"CINDY, GET OUT OF THERE!" I scream through the radio comm.
"I *static* can't *static* hear *static* you," Cindy voice still breaking.
"NO!!" I scream as the rockets landed on it target.
I can see three big explosions in the distance, it brightens the night sky for a short moment and I saw the burning aftermath. My heart just drops as I witness the destruction. It was quiet for a second before I scream my heart out as I realize that Cindy is gone.

...
I was snapped back to reality when Daiki voice echoed.
"Kagome, if you want the pain to stop, kill him!" Daiki said.
"No, I won't!" Kagome said.
"It's pointless to resist," Daiki said.
"I won't hurt my son anymore!" Kagome said.
Kagome screaming intensifies, I can see an electric shock coming out in the middle of her spine, burning her skins and the Sarashi. She is in pain and I don't know what to do.
"Kagome, I don't know what to do!" I said.
"You need to find where exactly is the device in my spine and point to it quickly," Kagome said.
I look for the burn marks earlier at her back and place my finger on it.
"It's here," I said.
Kagome closes her eyes then she screams even more and a glob of muscle tissue, a tiny device in it suddenly appear and splat to the floor. Blood covers the muscle mass and the device in it. Did she remove the device on her owns?
Kagome wheeze as she coughs out blood.
"Why do you resist Kagome, no matter, I already got what I want," Daiki said then the speaker turns off.
"Grab on to me," Kagome said.
I grab her hands, suddenly everything went black for a few seconds. When my sight returns, I look around and realize that I wasn't at the office anymore. Instead, I'm at an unknown rooftop and I can see the anomaly tower from the distance.
Kagome laughs, "I can't move my leg. I must have cut too many nerves," She said.
Kagome leaning on the stone wall behind her, a smile on her face but her eyes show pains and gladness. She looks as if she welcome death.
"Listen to me Haru, your father isn't the same anymore. He's gone mad, you need to kill him, if you can," Kagome said.
"What?" I said.
"But that not your top priority. Your top priority is the Catalyst. Your father wants to use it, to destroy the reality itself but you need to kill it before he can use it. That's why I want the Catalyst, to kill it. So my son last deed doesn't become in vain," Kagome said.
"But I can't kill her, she is my friends and my family!" I argued.
"You have too, I know it's hards but you need to do it, she wasn't meant to live in this world. She is a danger to all of us if her power becomes unstable," Kagome said.
"Fuck!" I cursed.
"Damn it!" I scream.
"Cindy..." I mutter.
"Haru you need to do it! Only you can!" Kagome said while holding my hands.
"And you will need this," She raises her hands.
A Katana suddenly flies out of nowhere and landed on her hands perfectly. she brings it close to her lips and mutters something.
"My name is Kagome Tashikawa, I have the blood of my family, and I have done my deeds. It time for another to replace me, may the ancestor lend you their strength," Kagome give the Katana to me.
The Katana sword light up, as a small symbol appears at the end of hilt replacing the one before. I look at the symbol; it wrote Oni in kanji.
"I have to go, I don't have much time left. Neither do you," Kagome said.
"Where are you going?!" I ask.
"Somewhere peaceful..." She said, suddenly she disappeared into thin air.
I was left there with nothing except for the Katana in my hands. I Just lost everything again, I can feel myself breaking again but I have to focus, I must save Catty and Kusagi. I have to check on them quickly.
No time for mourning, my grip tighten on the Katana then I stand up and quickly find a way to get out of the rooftop.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
