29 Fish

Today, Yin Yu will be officially 5 years old.

His birthday was still rainy as ever, even so, Yin Yu was still satisfied with himself.

Just look at him, mastered both books of poison and medicine, achieving cultivation of late 7th stage of Body Tempering in the tender age of five, and soon he'll go and master alchemy! if he's not a genius then what is he?.

Is what he's thinking right now, but still he tried to be a little modest since he knows what trouble pride might cause him next.

It can be said that he can be prideful that he can learn fast enough and has good enough cultivation, but it needs to be said that there's also child who has train to the same stage as him or maybe higher in the world and there's also a child who has learned a lot of things more than him in this world.

Still, he's still happy since today is his birthday and unlike last year, today he'll be able to enjoy his birthday! Since his parents have already promised him so.

Soon, he arrives at the dining table again and sits on his chair while both of his parents have sat on their seat. Weirdly the food hasn't come yet today since the food always ready before he comes here before.

"Happy Birthday Son"

"Happy Birthday Little Yu"

"Thank you dad, Thank you mom"

"I hope you can eat a lot today son."

"Fufufu, yeah, a boy needs to eat a lot to grow up after all"

While both of his parents talking with him, some servant has come and delivered food for him and his parent and put it on his table.

The delivered food was closed with food cover, and Yin Yu didn't wait for his father and mother and immediately opened it and the food revealed make his eyes show a traces of horror.

"F-F-Fish!?"

Shocked at his discovery, Yin Yu opened all of the food covers in the table only to find out all of the dishes on the table is FISH!

"No!, did King Poseidon finally started an invasion at this world!?"

Backing off, Yin Yu was prepared himself to fight, yet nothing happens while his parents look at him weirdly.

"Son, come and eat before it's cold."

"Yes Little Yu, come here and mommy will feed you this delicious fish"

Hearing both of his parent's word, Yin Yu want to let out a tear yet he has no tears to let out, for he's truly scared right now.

'Mom! Dad! You cheater!'

***

Unknown year, Unknown month, Unknown day, Earth

It's the first day he, no it's should still be she, the first day she was brought to the orphanage and having dinner with the other child.

"Now, come and eat your food everyone, and you should thanks the police outside for their gifts"

"Thank you…!"

"It's alright, go and eat the food before they're cold. We just hope that you guys will treat little Ame as a friend"

"OK!"

When that word was said, Yin Yu or it should be said Tsukihana Ameyuki. was greeted by his new friends in the orphanage.

There's variety of foods on the table, but the things she's most curious about is fish.

Yes, fish.

She isn't afraid of fish yet right now, in fact, what she's most curious about how the fish is still alive after getting boiled?.

Seeing the fish was still alive but being boiled, she can't help but feel a little pity for the fish. But pity is useless because she really wants to try the fish even though it's still alive because of her curiosity.

"Hey!"

Yet before her chopstick reaches the fish, she can hear some word in her mind. But looking at right and left, she realizes that no one else heard the words.

"Why do you look left and right?, I'm here you see."

Hearing that words, Ame turned her heads into the direction pointed by the voices and end up with the boiled fish.

"Finally, can you see me?"

"Yes."

"Good, hear this carefully because I can only do this for now when my soul is still strong."

Seeing the fish which opened and close its mouth talking with her while being boiled, was truly an unpleasant experience, yet she didn't say anything and continue looking at the boiled fish.

"My name is Yin Yue"

When the fish was talking with her, she can see one of the children was taking the fish meat into his face which makes her can't hear the fish word from fright.

Yet, the fish which has been torn and eaten still talk calmly like it's nothing for it to be eaten.

"You can say that I'm you but the you who have gone to a different world before returning back to my old body"

"I figured that you are my remnant soul that stay here when I'm gone to the other world which was why you have no memories right now."

"If my prediction is correct, I might be able to go back to the other world if I kill you"

Ame didn't hear what she say and only heard the words 'If I kill you' which makes her even more frightened by the eaten boiled fish.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"I shouldn't have thought of eating you, please don't kill me….!"

Ame was saying all of it in a low voice where no one heard her words and even Yin Yue didn't hear her and still continue to talk about herself while closing her eyes.

"But I decide not to kill you since I want you to have a happy life here and I didn't even sure if I can go back to that world"

"But, promise me. After you go to that world, please protect all of the people which is dear to you and for me."

"I've already done with my revenge before, hence you don't need to go on revenge journey since I've done it before I'm back here, although you may kill them if they get in our ways later."

Ame still didn't hear the boiled fish word clearly and only heard about revenge and kill which makes her even more frightened while looking at the fish which is going to turn into a bone soon.

"Looks like my time will be over soon, I hope you remember all of it."

Hearing the fish word that its time will be over soon while looking at the fish state right now, she figured that once the fish body is eaten, it'll be gone from his mind. Which makes her try to use a chopstick to take the last meat of the fish.

"Remember, I'm always with you."

Yet before she can take it, the last fish word made her stop her track while the boy next to her take the last meat of the fish and the fish sound disappear entirely.

A scream can be heard that day and Yin Yue which has opened her eyes from Ame scream finally realize what has happened and yet she can't speak to her anymore since her soul power isn't enough anymore.

Seeing the frightened Ame, even Yin Yue can't help but cursed herself because she closed her eyes and think that Ame can see her soul form even though she's just a normal human.

Since that day, Tsukihana Ameyuki. has developed an Ichthyophobia which she never tries to conquer, because how can she conquer it!?.

'No matter how many they're sliced, they're still calm as ever without any care in the world. Just by trying to eat them and they'll develop a grudge against you and even wish for a revenge. Who's not afraid of those frightening creature!?'

With that, Tsukihana Ameyuki. always tries to avoid the creature which is called fish because she's really afraid of them.
