Slap

After I'm done analyzing my situation, I heave a sigh of relief. Finally, the weight I'm carrying in my chest had finally lifted. I felt like that crystal heart was a ticking time bomb, you will never know when it would explode. It's really weird having something inside your body that any moment it would cause destruction, that's why I always wanted to remove it

My new heart feels kind of weird sometimes. It's like my body couldn't recognize the heart, it's as if someone is freeloading in your house. My body needed to get used of the new tenant or else I wouldn't what would happen if my body suddenly rejected the heart. I would really die if it comes to that. However, it's better than having an explosive heart.

Shaking such thoughts away from my mind I look around and found I'm the only one inside in this operation room.

The basement of the palace served as Storage facility, Shelter and Operating theatre. Though we have clinic above and also has operating theatre, I don't want anyone to know about this. Though, I would've tell everyone about it later. I just don't want them to be worried, especially my mama.

Sitting up straight, I tried moving my body. I feel numb all over my body, Even my supposed to be massive vitality is recovering me slowly. As for why I'm still in Operating bed, I'll find my answer soon.

The door opened and two girls walked in the two is pushing the trolley bed. When they saw me sitting up, Akane panicked.

However, Kana look calmed and composed. Evidently, I can see worries in her eyes, She strode towards me leaving Akane next to the trolley bed still panicking, but when Akane saw Kana didn't panic she calmed down a bit.

Kana arrive next to the operating bed. She then raised her hand, I got confused. Her eyes look fierce and angry, before I could say something. The hand she raised suddenly strike down.

SLAP!

"Eeeh!" Akane calmed down but when she saw the scene before her. She panicked again. "Kana-sensei W-What are you doing!"

I was dumbfounded, my mouth turned agape. Still couldn't process why she slapped me. There is a red hand-shaped mark on my face. However, with my solid body her slap is not painful or whatsover. But still I can feel tingling on my face despite it didn't hurt

"Why?" I asked.

"Why? Why? Are you asking me why? I know you are an idiot Shido! But really? You are so reckless!" Kana angrily said. Her eyes moistened and tears flows down from her face.

"Don't you know how worried I am? Don't you know how scared I was when cutting your flesh with a scalpel! It's terrifying Shido! I was scared the whole time!... I didn't have a clue when you suddenly give me that note! I-I-" Her tears uncontrollably flows like a dam. Her hand turn into fist as she furiously beat my chest.

Hearing her complaint, My heart tightened from pain. Not because of how she beat my chest but this a genuine pain in heart. Unconsciously, I pulled Kana into my embrace as she sobbed furiously.

"I'm sorry Nee-san." I said softly.

"I won't forgive you!"

"I'm sorry" I repeated

"No I won't accept your apology!" She hugged me tightly. She then scratch my back with her finger nails. Though it didn't really affect me that much.

"Nee-san, I will tell you everything so please forgive me."

She didn't reply and I also stayed silent waiting for her response. I could still hear her sobbing as her body would tremble.

I already expected her reaction, However being slapped caught me off guard. I feel really sad for not telling her the whole situation, I know we trusted each other yet I hid something to her and it made me feel guilty. It's not like I want to hide it, it's just the situation forced me to. After all, the enemy behind this is stronger than Shiroe after all. We wouldn't know when would the mastermind retaliate against us.

I don't want to risk the life of my love ones. I need to be cautious of the dangers that would led into consequences I could never handle. I won't become arrogant because I'm stronger than normal beings, or the saying A frog in the well staring at sky and thinking of themselves to be the most powerful.

Placing my hands on top Kana's head, Brushing her hair using my fingers. Her short golden her suits her, she looks maturish and bright. While I'm brushing her hair I didn't forget to console her.

"Kana, I love you." I whispered next to her ear sweetly. However I recieved a pinch on my waist.

"Hmph! Those sweet words won't work on me. I'm still angry and won't forgive you." Indignantly said. I make a bitter smile.

"Then what should I do to make you forgive me?" I straightforwardly asked her. I don't really know how women's mind works.

"Jump on 100th story building! Maybe I will forgive you." I could tell she was joking and yet feel like she isn't because of how she said it seriously. Scary, women are scary.

"Ah, really?" However I play with her. "Then I will do it tomorrow."

Kana got surprised by my answer! She pushed my chest as she look at me face-to-face. "Are you serious?"

"Un, I am. If it makes you to forgive me then I will jump on a highstory building." I said seriously.

I notice Kana quivered as she buried her head on my chest again. She then loudly muttered. "Do what you want Idiot! Idiot Shido! Stupid Shido! BAKA!"

Seeing her stop crying I sighed. "So you don't want me too jump?"

"Hmph! I don't care if you jump or not. Even if you jump I still wouldn't forgive you!"

What's with girls. It's so difficult to please them. Also, Why are you acting like a tsundere suddenly?

"Kana-nee why are you acting like a tsundere?" And so I couldn't help but asked.

Kana became silent after ranting. She then silently whispered. "Shina said you liked tsundere...hmph! Don't expect me to forgive you because I acted like a tsun."

Her reply stunned me. The hand brushing her hair stopped as I couldn't really process her words in my mind.

"Do you really need to do that Kana-nee?" Wryly smiling. I don't whether to laugh or cry at this situation.

Then she pushed me again looking at my face. This time she didn't act like a tsun, she became serious. "Idiot shido, I felt genuinely scared earlier you know. However, I know you have reasons you cannot tell me. But still it hurts when you hide something from me... Shido can you tell me what is happening?"

"Okay I will tell you about it Sis... but before we start let's change location first." I said.

"Yeah, this place is not the best place to talk to." Kana nodded.

I placed the black box inside my space storage, surprising Kana. She wanted to asked but stopped because she will get answer later on. Also, she wanted to know about the surgical tools sge was using earlier. She found out that Shido's skin is so tough as steel when she tried using a normal flesh cutting knife, however when she use the scalpels Shido provided, it cut his flesh easily like a tofu.

She decided to ask that later, Anyways, Kana has so many questions to ask. She will make him spit out all he is hiding.

As for Akane, She was watching on the side the whole time when the two couple were bickering each other. She saw Kana acted like a tsundere, she didn't know how to react with that. In the end she said in her mind. 'I didn't see anything.'

I know that after this, The situation would be much worse than this comical scene.
