A Second Chance

Chapter 59

Tsukiyomi's P.O.V

"Good job on stopping the ship, Kyouka-chan." I complimented her. "But there could be other ways other than committing suicide you know? What if your ability didn't come back to you as Osamu-san had said?"

Kyouka looked down at the sea that was approaching us before glancing back to me. "Well, we are getting into danger at this point no?"

Laughter left my throat and I held out my hand towards her. "Grab on," I said.

She stared at my held out hand for a few seconds before grabbing onto my hand. A smile graced my face.

"All Are but Mine, 'Existence in Creativity'." Strings of kanji wrapped themselves around my body before they slid towards my back. "Wings." They condensed by my shoulders and turned into a bright flash of light. A pair of black coloured wings that turned red at its tips of their feathers appeared on my back. Pushing out my wings by each side, they caught the rushing wind and I slowed our descend. Flapping my wings once, I pulled onto Kyouka's hand before wrapping both of my arms around her waist; holding her close so I wouldn't lose my hold on her and drop her into the ocean.

"Hold on," I said as I flew the both of us higher up into the air. Kyouka's demon followed behind us with its katana now sheathed in its sheath.

A static noise sparked in the earpiece and my attention went to it. "Heyo Tsuki-chan!"

"Osamu! And I was wondering when you will start contacting me."

A chuckle resounded from the other side. "I'm on my way there with Shacho. I just saw Atsushi-kun and Akutagawa-kun landing on the pavement behind the warehouses nearby by the port. Are you able to see them from where you are?"

I looked around my surroundings and saw a few people with the familiar coloured hair and clothing in a distance. "Yeah, I saw them. We will be heading over now."

The zapping sound from the earpiece in my ear cuts off and I was left in silence. Flapping my wings once, I spread them out further to catch the wind, making it easier to steer our direction and balance.

"So you've got your powers back?" I asked mid-flight. Kyouka nodded her head; her movement could be felt as I held her close to me. "Before I crashed into the Moby Dick, I felt that my powers were back, and that I could feel Yasha Shirayuki's control coming back to me. So I called out to her and get her to cut the shackles to my ankles. And you appeared when I was trying to escape."

"That's good, isn't it? That I came here on time. Wouldn't want you dropping into the ocean and drowning."

Kyouka sweat-dropped as she sighed out tiredly.

"But you did well." A smile graced my lips. "Your efforts won't be in vain. See? You can change sides, right?"

Kyouka turned her head to look up at me from the corner of her eyes. They brimmed with surprise and joy, with the former being felt towards herself.

"You may have a dark past painted in red that taints your hands, but that doesn't mean you can't change who you can be. Even good people..." I remembered back to when I first met Mori and the first mission I was given, "can turn into a bad guy. I'm sure you understand that as well. But that doesn't mean the vice versa won't happen."

"It all depends on yourself. Whether you want to take the step to change or not and follow on the path." Kyouka added on. I watched as she had a smile of sincerity on her face and I was glad that she had taken the step as she spoke of and came upon this path.
