A Few Months Ago

" M--mommy?-Papa, why--won't you say something? "

There was an accident, a car has crashed into the house, killing three people -The driver and two residents of the house.

These two residents who died in the accident were- Kazuma Kibo, Kazuma Hikari. For them, that day was like every other- filled with joy and happiness because of their only daughter Kazuma Ayushi.

When This small yet happy family was having dinner, a car came crashing into their house and ended up killing the couple- Their Daughter, Ayushi- 17-year-old survived the accident.

When she saw her father's hand beneath the rubble, she quickly started to removing that rubble, just to find out that a piece of glass had pierced into her father's throat and the skull was cut open. her mother, Kazuma Hikari, was lying beside her father, Still breathing with little consciousness, she was barely alive, she Mumbles few words when Mother saw her daughter in tears

"T--th...thank y--you "

These were the last words that her mother spoke. After that, her mother took a deep breath to-- Her parents died at that unfortunate day. They left behind their daughter all alone in this world.

The next day, Her uncle took Ayushi in- Promising to take care of her in the steed of her father.

After the funeral of Ayushi's parents, Her uncle brought some papers, asking Ayushi to sign on them and she did, without asking a single question. There was no one else to look out for her, now all she had was these relatives who helped her when she was going through this trauma. A person with a scar on his heart is easy to manipulate 

And After signing on those papers, her life at her uncle's house turned into a nightmare.

Her uncle's family started treating her like a burden, She was asked to cook for her self, she was asked to sit on the floor while eating meals, her room was quickly changed to the basement room. 

As time passed, the harassment only increased. She was forced to do a part-time job to earn her keepsake. At the peak, she was doing everything, from cleaning to cook and laundry- She was a basically slave for the family and there was nothing that Ayushi could do but endure it. She had nowhere else to go.

She had accepted her fate and never complained about the treatment that she was given but, it changed when her cousin tried to force himself onto Ayushi.

When Ayushi told her uncle about this, Her uncle replied " What's wrong with it? He is your cousin, not blood related and already at that age, you could let him have fun. It can also relieve your stress and help with your trauma" With these words her uncle left. Ayushi went to her room, she suddenly felt as if someone had dug a hole inside her stomach -That was the feeling of a helpless person. She cried until she fell asleep and at the middle of that night, She heard the door of her room opening, In fear, She covered herself with her blanket, even though she was trembling she quickly started to think of ways to defend herself- That person came inside her room, She could hear the footstep, coming closer. The person whoever it was stood there beside her bed for a minute and when he tried to sneak in her bed, Ayushi threw the blanket aside and ran towards the door which left open by the person- While running towards the door Ayushi looked behind her and saw the face of that person. that person was no other than her uncle himself. She ran outside of the house but it was not enough for and she kept on running, afraid, trembling- The thought of someone chasing her was horrifying. even though her body wanted to stop, she begs her legs to keep on moving. if she stops the person whoever might be chasing her could catch her.

After a mile of running, she finally had to stop to catch her breath- she hid around a corner, waiting for the person who could be chasing her but thankfully she didn't see anyone. When she thought she is safe, her legs gave up and she fell on her knees. she couldn't stop crying, thinking what could've happened if she had stayed there, thinking that there was no one for her, thinking of the past with her parents, the happiness and secured that she felt with her parents, thinking of herself-----But now She was all alone.

There was no one for her who would-----

As she was thinking of all that and crying, she suddenly felt as if something had cut through her stomach- followed by a loud sound of the blast as if someone had set off a bomb. she looked around herself in confusion -There were no wounds on her but the wall she was sitting against suddenly started shaking- She got off that wall and ran to the open street- "an earthquake? " was what she thought at first but when looked around her surrounding, what she saw was -everything was violently shaking but there this projection of her surrounding, of the house near her- Even though everything was shaking but that projection was- it was as if that projection was compensating for the shaking for the surrounding. This phenomenon only lasted for a few seconds but it scared her and there was no reaction from inside any of the houses. " Was I just daydreaming? " when she thought that, Shaking started once again but this time- when she looked at the sky, She saw something that she never hoped to see, someone was flying around like crazy. That person was surrounded by a white glow, and the sound of those blasts was the sonic boom that this person caused by flying around with incredible speed. Ayushi kept staring at the person- That person flew around for only a few seconds and once again suddenly disappeared.

" What did I just see? "

 She was already scared and now there was someone who is flying around the area like crazy. She made an assumption Since her uncle might be chasing her thus it creates a possibility and that possibility is- " Is that my uncle searching for me? " even though this may sound stupid and ridiculous but there was a possibility.

She started running once again but this time she had a destination in her mind and that destination was the house of one of her colleagues- That was only the person now she could trust, there was no one else.

In Front of Her Colleague House-

Akkri Miko was the name of her colleague- a co-worker at a part-time job. She knocked on her door and When Akkri Miko opened the door she saw Ayushi, Ayushi had a terrified expression. Akkri let Ayushi come in and Asked Ayushi what happened, Ayushi told Akkri everything excluding the fact that she saw a person flying around. 

" That's horrible! How could they do this? "

Akkri is a kind-hearted person who would sympathize with others- Akkri let Ayushi spend the night at her home. When Akkri suggested reporting this matter to the police, Ayushi quickly refused and insisted to not do anything. Ayushi had already gone through a lot and if she reports it to police, There is chance that she might lose what she has left and might be forced to go back the uncle since she doesn't have any solid evidence against her uncle but the most important was- the fact what she saw at that time if the person who was flying her uncle...

Ayushi spent that night at Akkri's apartment and next morning, Akkri helped her to rent a room for Ayushi and also helped Ayushi with the rent, Since Ayushi didn't have any money on her. The money she earned at her part-time job was taken by her uncle.

Thankfully no one came after but Ayushi kept her part-time job, now that she has live on her own- 

Akkri was worried about Ayushi, The fact that Ayushi lost her parents and her cousin, and her uncle tried to do something so disgusting -Akkri was angry but there was nothing much she could do if Ayushi herself asked not to.

At the new Ayushi's room, which is a mile away from Akkri's apartment and a few miles away from her uncle's house. Ayushi tried to rent the apartment as far as possible from her uncle's house.

Akrri while knocking on Ayushi's apartment door

" Ayushi? I brought the things that you asked for "

Ayushi opened the door and while taking the bag from Akkri, she said

" Thank you Akkri, I will pay you back tomorrow. " -Tomorrow is payday.

" Naa, Don't worry about that. I am worried about you. are you okay with this? "

Ayushi answered that question while nodding her head up and down.

" *sigh* tell me if you need anything else. aha, by the way, your high school starts tomorrow, right? " 

Ayushi looked down and answered

" I don't have a uniform. I might also not able to pay the fees "

" I see, okay let's do that. "

Akkri took Ayushi for shopping, even though Ayushi refused but Akkri didn't listen and in the end, Ayushi had no choice but to go. Akkri brought her the school uniform and whatever Ayushi needed for her daily life.

Akkri walked Ayushi to her apartment and left while saying

" If you ever need something just give me a call. "

At that time, Ayushi also realized that She has to get stronger to protect herself and Keeping that in mind, Ayushi started a new life but little Ayushi knew what future has stored for her 

Her life would be changed drastically after meeting with me, Mine as well.

I don't know where this desire to protect her from harm came from but at that time when I saw her smile, I swore to protect this human girl with everything I have. thus I gave her my protection, protection of a god.

I learned all of this when I had to merge my life force with her to protect her from Time-Dimension and space that I took her to, she doesn't know the fact that I know everything about her and I don't intend to tell her.

Present 

" A....Ao...Aoi - Sensei, are you okay? " ( Ayushi )

But I wonder

" Ha... Ayu...Ayushi... Good... Morni...ng " ( Aoi )

Will I be able to keep my promise

" Morning Sensei, but..t-t.. Did you even sleep in the last few days? you look terrible" ( Ayushi )

To protect her from any harm, with the state I am in right now?
