'Boom'
The equator or the earth looked red from space
The chocking smell of burning wood enveloped the area, with flames that lit up the dark night,zeo had been rescued from the flames by some fire fighters,but his parents were still inside fighting for their lives. He couldn't shake off the feeling that this wasn't an ordinary fire but was made by the being he saw
"Bugendai..."
That was what he heard from the mysterious person and he was sure that was what it said but he couldn't grasp what it meant but for him,that didn't matter. His parents have to survive or else ye would lose everything. For someone like him that barely had any friends losing his family would end him socially because he barely associated with anyone outside his family,even at school. Despite being the smartest in school,he didn't have friends or anybody to turn to
After the fire died down, his parents bodies were recovered from the fire in one piece but his dad was confirmed dead while his mom was slowly breathing. Sensing life in her,the ambulance wasted no time rushing her to the hospital were she was immediately admitted. Despite in surgery,she continued to request to see Zeo until he was brought to her. When zeo saw yer condition,he couldn't hold back tears from falling off his eyes but his mom smiled with satisfaction in her eyes. She spoke up to him while she had the chance to do so
"Zeo... If i die, make sure to survive"
"No mom... You're not gonna die"
"Listen to me, your dad protected me from the fire to pass this to you. Ue told me to let you live on"
"..."
Zei couldn't hold back his tears anymore
"Mom... You're not gonna die. I'll make sure of it"
Zeo stayed by his mother's side all through the operation as her health detoriated till she passed out. Zeo thought she had died but the doctors assured him that she was asleep. Because of that,he decided to go to school where he was supposed to be that time, but since the fire broke out early in the morning he couldn't prepare for school but went with only his uniform which he had on him.
During class Zeo was the center of attraction but this time, because of how tattered looking his clothes and hair was. He didn't care less about what they had to say but ignored them all through the class session until it was time to go. As he picked up his bag to leave,a group of boys followed after him to steer trouble for him when they made sure that no one was in the area,they surrounded him giving him no space to escape
"Hey genius... Why do you smell like smoke,did you drop by a bar before coming to school?"
"Its none of your business"
"Oh really now... perhaps you and your parents frequently knock off"
Zeo didn't wait. The moment he heard parents,he snapped and punched the boy in the face which startled the others. They tried to gang up on him but he beat them all up before heading back to the hospital. But when he got there,he was allowed inside her room,infact noone was allowed neither doctors nor nurses. All they did was pass by. Even the doctor in charge of her operation was not inside. Nevertheless,he had to make sure that his mom is alive and ye tried ti enter forcefully but the door was sealed shut crashing his expectations. He couldn't remove the thought that his mother had died from his head but he chose not to believe.
The next day Zeo walked to school determined not to let yesterday's occurrence affect him in school. He entered his class and sat down waiting for their homeroom teacher to come for classes. From outside the window, the students could see police officers trooping into the school and surrounding the premises while some headed in the direction of their building. Minutes later they entered their class and the students greeted them
"Zeo kamashida..."
Zeo raises his hand
"I see..."
The police handcuffs his which shocked the whole class
"Unique ability being, you're under arrest for the murder of your parents"
"Huh"
"Huh?!"
