Kibishi's POV

  Whispers among whispers. I heard everyone talking among themselves about this new discovery.

  "He's the Grim Reaper?"

  "This boy is something that's impossible to obtain?!"

  "How the hell did he do it?"

  "I never heard of such a concept being obtainable!"

  One after the other, the whispers got louder and louder. Except for David, Riley, and Tao, everyone was still trying to process it.

  "The concept of death?" Yosei whispered while pcing her hand under her chin.

  "..." Kujira closed her eyes in fright.

  "What the hell? How is this possible?" Kuma's voice sounded shocked. I could hear the fear in it as well.

  More and more, I could hear fears and doubts in everyone's voices.

  Ba-bump!

  My head.

  Ba-bump!

  My heart.

  Ba-bump!

  My very soul. It was screaming to shut them up.

  "N-ngh!" I held my chest tightly.

  The scars were starting to burn. The more doubts I heard, the more my body reacted. I didn't bme anyone for questioning this. I didn't expect them to be the same.

  But still, my body was rejecting the voices since it was about my very being.

  The concept of death.

  I didn't understand it myself, but it seemed like my body jolted at the sound of those words.

  "Are you okay, Kishi?" Tao asks while resting her hand on my back.

  "I-I'm fine. More importantly, this news is something else..." I whisper with my eyes narrowed in sadness.

  I'm not sad or anything. But my body is in pain right now.

  I'm not understanding it myself.

  "Kishi? Are you okay? You're starting to burn up." Tao sounds frightened. But not from the news, but for my well-being.

  "It's fine. I'm fine..." I made Tao sit back down since she was standing up to check on me moments ago.

  "B-but..."

  But still, it seemed like my body couldn't handle these noises any longer.

  But I had to endure...

  "Kibishi's background makes this very possible. Due to the trauma and what life he probably led to that point, the clutch of life mixed with the concept of death." Mato closed his eyes when he mentioned that. He then opened them once more.

  Ba-bump!

  My heart... hurt...

  "It's a hundred percent accurate, but there are times when people escape death." Mato raises his index finger.

  Ba-bump!

  My chest... hurt...!

  "Due to him saving one's life, the two positives negated the negative and granted Kibishi another chance in life."Ba-bump!

  My heart....h-hurt...!!!

  "And I have a theory that due to the abnormality of the sughter back then, some magical energy entered his body, and he became the concept of death himself. It could expin the part of his body showing some fmes."

  Ba-bump!

  It hurt....

  It hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt...!

  "Hey, is something-?"

  "Please pay attention, Kibishi. I know this might hurt your feelings, but as workers, we must face reality." Mato interrupted Tao's concern.

  Ba-bump!

  It... hurt...

  "Hey, are you okay, Kibi?" I heard Kuma's voice."He's probably fine.Let's keep this moving, people." The FuCkEr says without a care in the world—

  Static!

  What the hell?! Why would I think that just now?! Why would I think that about the founder?

  I clenched my chest.

  "Hey, maybe we should—"

  "I told you guys that it's fine. The boy will need to hear the rest of this." The Founder stares once more, interrupting Yosei.

  Ba-bump!

  Static!

  Ow... ow ow ow ow!

  My whole body... was splitting!

  "Hey, bro? Are you okay?" I heard David in the distance.

  "He seems out of it..." Riley sounds worried.

  These people always judge someone just because they're different.

  Shut up...

  It's incredible how someone who's a little different from them can cause some chaos.

  They didn't do anything wrong...!

  "Wait... Kibishi? Why are you shaking?" Mato questions as I can hear his old self again.

  I didn't do anything wrong, yet I'm being judged. First with that girl and now with these people. These mortals aren't as they seem. Their hearts aren't pure. They're the reason for all of this. Yet these mortals want to be righteous.

  They don't even know that Supernaturals are—

  "AaAaAaHhHh!!!!!" I held my head.

  "Huh?" I could hear Yosei, Kuma, and Kujira say in unison.

  "I SAID TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!"

  Wham! Sm! Bam!

  I smmed my head on the table three times.

  "K...kishi?" Tao whispered.

  Spt...

  ... There. All peace and quiet now...

  But now, my headache was even worse. Not to mention, I could feel something warm and wet on my forehead.

  Maybe it was from the blood that was pouring down my forehead to keep my mind in check...

  Everyone else became silent as well. I could feel the eyes staring at me.

  Well, it didn't matter; I couldn't even see at the moment anyway.

  Then...

  There was panic.

  "Kishi!" Tao panicked.

  "What the fuck, Kibishi! What the hell are you thinking?!" David shouted from the other side of the room.

  Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

  Footsteps. I could hear footsteps.

  My vision was red.

  "Move, damn it!" I could hear David once again.

  I heard some shoving. It didn't take long before I could feel a lot of people around me.

  I felt a pair of hands on each of my shoulders.

  "Hey, get a hold of yourself! The meeting is still going!" David yelled at me, but I couldn't see.

  "What were you thinking?! Smming your head like that!" Riley scolded me.

  "Kishi, say something!" Tao's voice sounds weak.

  "Everyone, remain seated! This isn't—"

  "Shut up, Founder! This isn't the time for that shit!" I heard Kujira bark at The Founder.

  "This is Mato! The medical staff, please head to the meeting area, stat!" Mato yelled out.

  "That's a lot of blood that's pouring!" Kuma screamed.

  "Kujira! Materialize a cloth now!" Yosei yelled at Kujira.

  With a sound, something appeared. I then felt something wrap around my forehead.

  "It's still bleeding!" Riley panics.

  "Damn it all! Why are you always like this!" David yelled at me.

  "Stay with us, Kishi! Kishi!" I heard Tao plead within my ears.

  Ah.

  Now I'd done it. I wanted to silence that irritating voice, but I ended up hurting the person I cared deeply for the most. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel her warmth from here.

  Static!

  The warmth of her palm was a delight to this day...

  Static!

  I remembered first ying my eyes on her. How sweet her smile was, how she always looked whenever she was sad. I didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

  Static!

  As everyone's voice was getting blurred... including hers...

  I could at least get one thing certain...

  "Tao... life matters... more... than... me being... death... itself..." I think I whispered.

  That was when... I finally... bcked out....

  Thump!

  My head... hit the table...
