----- Dead Apple : Without Me

|| 18. Part of Me, Her Mother's Will

THE sound of seagulls and the open sea can be heard from a small house beside the port. The summer sun shines brightly along with the cool breeze that blows from the ocean, making anyone hypnotized to sleep.

Your brother, Odasaku was called a coward for not being able to kill. All wouldn't have thought that he was recruited by your boss as an assassin.

For some reason, after he read a book, his thoughts of killing people suddenly disappeared. You won't blame it because it's his choice.

Luckily, your boss can still appreciate the way his brain thinks. Because it's very rare for such a person like him to be in Port Mafia. Most of them only know how to use guns and rifles without thinking.

Your ability, Goddess of Calamity makes you able to control many weapons without holding them. You can control all kinds of weapons with just your eyes and finger swings.

In fact, that's not your original ability. It was an ability that was transferred from your mother to you.

Your mother's family has never blessed her marriage to your father. Especially after you were born, everything became very chaotic. Before your mother died, she asked your father to transfer her abilities to you, who was only five years old. As the youngest child, you will definitely be jealous of your brother's special abilities. Therefore, she wants that ability to remain in you.

[ A/N : I'm sorry reader-chan:( ]

Although this ability is the ability to kill, your mother wants you to use this ability to save many people and make many people happy. But, your eyes are dark with revenge after your mother's death. You want to avenge your mother on those who can't let your mother be happy. And in the end, you used that ability to kill lots of people. Especially after you became part of Port Mafia

"[Y/N], Goddess of Calamity that you have must not always be used to kill." Said your brother.

You pulled a blanket to cover Kousuke's body. On Oda's arms, Sakura had slept soundly. You looked at Sakura's sleeping face too. You came to remember the tragedy of the previous two years.

Oda can read what you thinks. "Sakura was very lucky to survive the chaos at that time. She just cried between her parents with eighty-eight other corpses. With your Angel of Death's wings, you can take Sakura to our home while Dazai ordered me to be stay."

You can only smiled. "I always try to hold myself. But the image of the past when our mother died made my eyes dark again." You were trying to be honest. "But then again, I know the meaning of our mother intention to save many people is to protect me too. Protect me from this cruel world. She knew i can't survive without any ability in this world. When I save a lot of people, they will protect me too because they feel indebted to me, the person who saved them. That's what our mother meant."

"Goddess of Calamity exists to kill anyone endangering their master. Even without my orders, this ability knows who to kill. I can't fully control this ability. I don't know how to control it. I just follow what my heart says." Your voice cracked.

"But then again, you really want to use this ability to protect the one you love, don't you?" Your heart suddenly heard a very soft and soothing voice. The voice of a mother who really loves her child. "Right, [Y/N]?"

You realized that it was just a sentence that your heart said. A drop of tears fell on your cheek. You hug yourself. "Mother has left this ability for me. I don't care if this ability kills many people. As long as this ability can protect me, and protect you, Brother. I don't care about that."

"I told you, you don't always have to use your ability to kill." You looked at Odasaku. "You can save lives with that ability."

"Oi, [Y/N]!"

You flinched, waking up from your long daydream. You found an orange-haired man in front of you, shaking your shoulders. "C-Chuuya?" You reassuring yourself if it was Chuuya.

Chuuya just sighed. "Have you defeated your shadow?" Chuuya asked. You just nodded.

"In that case," Chuuya grabbed your hand. You felt your feet were not on the ground. "That fucking man called me. I will take you with me."

"C-Chuuya, let me go!" You forced yourself to release the grip. "I have Angel of Death's wings. I can also fly without your gravity!"

"Chuuya-chan sure is a flirty!" Kaori grumbled. Only you could hear it, making you could only chuckled in shame.

Chuuya frowned. "Who are you talking to?" Chuuya asked, making you startled. "N-nothing! I'm not talking to anyone."

"By the way, who is this man do you mean?" You asked.

"That Ango. I will crush every single of his bone. He had planned all of this. I will defeat that damn Shibusawa then bring Dazai back. "

You flinched again. "Dazai," you said softly. "Do you believe it's not Dazai's fault?" You asked. Chuuya looked at you from above. "I hate him. That's why I won't let him get killed at the hands of someone other than myself."

"You better come with me! After I returned Dazai to Ango, I'm sure he would be immediately punished. You will be a guarantee until I return."

"WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF OBJECTS?!" You grumbled angrily.

Chuuya who was easily provoked even answered with a shout. "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND COME WITH ME!"

Chuuya sighed. "Gosh," he muttered, as he scrambled his bangs. "I will take you as a witness that Dazai is innocent."

"Why do you trust him?" You confused.

"Remember your daughter Crystal of Memories? Since your daughter able to talk and could use her ability, Dazai always asked her to make the crystal if he had to work for days. Did you forget about the conflict when we fought Guild? Dazai brought the crystal and showed it to me when he and I had to save Q." Chuuya explained.

"SO YOU'RE GOING OR NOT?! YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER OR NOT?" Chuuya shouted, making you flinched.

Without hesitation, you immediately pulled out you knives wings. "After you," you said, asking Chuuya for directions.

Chuuya smirked. They floated between the foggy ceilings of Yokohama.

Besides you, there are still other person who believe in Dazai. "Mother, I will use this ability to save Dazai, the person I really love."
