Chapter 50:

…The shine from the ring unsealed their sealed memories…

I never thought, that something like this can possibly happen…

-…Kazune-kun…-Suddenly Michiru said. Everyone looked and saw that the ring shone one more time. Then the light died and Kazune looked astonished.

-Kazune-kun…?-Karin wondered.

-…Soul fusion…-He quietly said.-…Sorry, everyone.-He said suddenly. �"I need to be alone for a while…-Then he went somewhere.

…That was suspicious…

Really suspicious…

-I wonder what happened to Kazune-kun…-Said Karin.

-I wonder what the second shine was all about.-Said Jin.

-Kazune-kun started acting strangely after it.-Said Michiru.

…I probably, should ask about it…

-What is “Soul Fusion”…?-Wondered Lilianna. Everyone, were a little surprised.-…Kazune said it before he walked away.-Everyone became even more confused, and Michiru started thinking hard about it.

-Kazune-kun said that…?-He said. Then he remembered something.-That’s right, we learned in school about cloning, once. They told us, that clones can’t have memories that the original had.-He continued.-I asked Kazune-kun about it, but he just looked surprised. -…Is that so…?-Kazune-kun has professor Kujou’s memories…And he also said something about “Soul Fusion”…Considering that and his strange behavior…-Then his eyes widened.-No…It can’t be…! He couldn’t have…!-He said, in both worry and shock.-If that’s true…He may…! I have to stop him, right now…!!!-Then he ran in the direction that Kazune has gone to.

-Michi…?-Wondered Karin.-Wait, Michi! What happened…?

-We better run after him…-Said Jin. Then everyone ran after Michiru.

 

After some running…

-…Are you sure, that it’s what you really want to do…?-A male voice suddenly asked.

-I am sure.-Kazune’s voice was heard.-I can feel him, professor Karasuma.-He continued.-It’s him, but it’s not. It’s probably all of his negative feelings taking shape.

-So, you just decided to send everyone back here…?-The male voice asked in concern.-If you do it, there’s a chance that you won’t have any power remaining to go back.

-I am sure.-Said Kazune.-I was the one who started everything, after all.-He continued with determination.-I am the one who shall put an end to it!!!

-…Why are you always…?-Said the male voice.

-Because, I am me…-Said Kazune, suddenly.

…What was up with that talk…?

-Kazune-kun…?-Wondered Karin. Right before the party was Kazune. His ring was glowing and made some kind of a mini window, from which Michiru’s house could be seen, as well as all the scientists inside of it. Kazune was just talking to one of them.

…How did he made something like that, with just the ring…?

-…Kazune-kun…-Suddenly Michiru said in a heartbreaking voice. Kazune looked behind and was startled.

…Why is he having that kind of voice…?

And, this look…

-Michi…?-Karin wondered.

-Why…?-Michiru asked in a heartbroken voice.-Why did you do that…???!!!

-…Michi…-Started Kazune with wide eyes, then he shut his mount with his hand. Michiru just continued looking at him.

-Michi…? Kazune-kun…?-Karin was confused. Kazune averted his eyes, and has a complicated expression on his face.

…He is hiding something big…!!!

-Sorry for interrupting.-Suddenly said one of the scientists, from the rings window.-But, I think that you should tell them everything, sir…

-But then…I…-Started Kazune, still averting his eyes.-…I am…-He had an apologic look on his face.-I…am…for all this time…-He continued.-And…it was my fault to begin with…!!!-He continued.-I should be the one to take care of it, even if it kills me, again…!!!

-Kazune-kun…-Said Karin. Then Michiru rushed to Kazune and gave him a slap to the face.

-…Kazune-kun…-Said Michiru in a low voice. Tears could be seen, sliding down his face.-Don’t talk like that…!!!-Kazune looked really surprised.

-…You…-Kazune said in shock.-You…Found out…-Then he seemed lost.-That…I…

-Fused your own soul with your clone’s…-Michiru continued. - …And even sealed most of your memories inside a ring.-He continued, his fists clenched. -…All so that you could take care of everything by yourself, even though it’s not your fault at all!!!-Kazune’ eyes started tearing up. �"Why did you do that…???  Why, Professor Kujoy???!!!

…

…WHAT…???!

-…Michiru-kun…-Kazune said in a low voice, with complicated feelings.

-…Kazune-kun…-Asked Karin.-Is that true…?

-…I… am…I…-Kazune said while still looking complicated.-…I…will tell you everything…-He finally said, biting his lower lip.-Everything from the beginning…-Then he closed his eyes, and opened them again, in determination.
