“You
think I have an ability? And then it’s not an ability, it’s even the strongest
type? And above all, the greatest of the strongest type? Aren’t you thinking
too highly of me?” I asked. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. Alright, I
admit that I could kind of influence Hiro’s ability, but isn’t it enough to
think that’s a coincidence? Well, maybe not. But I never could see myself as
someone special.
“Yes,
you definitely have it. You can influence Hiro’s and my ability.” Even his
ability? The tiger? I could SEE the tiger, but I definitely couldn’t influence
it, or could I? I stared to him speechlessly. He noticed my doubts and
continued. “Usually no one would notice my tiger if I don’t want them to notice
it. But the notice I am talking about is just physically, no one can actually
SEE the tiger other than me, that’s impossible. But you can’t only see it, you
can even touch it. And all that without me
‘allowing’ you to.”
“Allowing?
What are you talking about?” Our conversation got weirder by second. If I
didn’t proof to him soon that I was perfectly normal, well, what then? Wasn’t
it fine to be special? To have an incredible ability? Why am I denying it this
much? But he is talking about me having a ‘strong’ ability, not just a regular
one, that’s the fact I just couldn’t accept.
“Let
me show you.” He said and turned to Hiro. The tiger jumped out of his body and
went directly through his friend. I was so stunned my mouth literally opened
wide. It was like his tiger being a ghost. I stepped towards it and reached out
with my hand. I touched the fur. How was that possible? Ryuu, who was watching
me closely and following every of my movements, continued. “I am sure that
there is more to it. If we tried you could even control it.”
Control?
How was that possible?
“That’s
something you should try out.” I heard Hiro’s voice. I immediately turned to
him, Ryuu did the same.
“You
are awake.” Ryuu and me said almost at the same time. He sounded really
relieved. “How are you feeling?”
“The
usual. “ He winked. “Which means I am awesome! Thanks to you two I suppose.”
The grin on his lips made me smile also. “But, that’s enough about me. How
about you demonstrate me what you were talking about just now?”
Demonstrate?
What was he talking about? There was no way of me being able to control more
than one ability. And definitely not such a strong one. But I didn’t have time
to voice my thoughts. Ryuu nodded and already thought about it. “You just close
your eyes and listen to what I say. If this works there will be no doubt about
your ability alright?” he asked but because it didn’t seem like he wanted an
answer I just closed my eyes. I felt something going around me, touching my
fingers, striping my legs, it was the tiger, I was sure about that. Ryuu
continued instructing me. “Now think about the tiger, if you want touch it when
thinking about it. Be one with the tiger.” What did he mean, be one? How should
I make that? Should I ride on it? It’s probably not the way he was talking
about. Just when I wanted to ask him he grabbed my hand and continued. “I’ll
help you a little with this. Because it’s your first time you probably don’t
know how to do it. Think about the tigers eyes, you are trying to see what the tiger
sees. Do you see anything yet?” he asked.
I
concentrated hard, but his hand holding mine made me nervous and I couldn’t
fully occupy my mind just with the tiger. He felt my nervousness and started to
brush softly over my backhand with his finger. Strangely the hand which made me
nervous calmed me down and I gained back my concentration. I wanted to tell him
that this won’t work and he should give up, but right at that moment I suddenly
got an image in my head. It was Hiro, but I wasn’t looking through my own eyes,
it was the tiger’s eyes! I noticed it from the angle in which I was looking at
him. “I see it!” I shouted and heard how Hiro and Ryuu giggled over my
enthusiasm. “Yes, that’s it Nao!” Ryuu said, when hearing that in surprise I
opened my eyes wide. He said out my name. I thought he didn’t know it, and why
was he using it so casually? It gave me a prickling feeling inside of me.
“Hey
don’t open your eyes so suddenly!” Hiro scolded me. “Concentrate!”
Oh,
right, Hiro was here too. In just a few seconds I totally forgot about his
presence. I blushed and closed my eyes. As soon as I closed them I saw the
vision of the tiger again.
“Now
you have to try to send him in any direction. Try to control him with this
first. Think of the direction and he will move.”
I
thought about right and the tiger turned to the right. I saw the table where
the disinfectants were standing on. When I thought about getting closer to
there the tiger moved that direction. The more the tiger listened to my orders,
the bigger the headache got. “Oh shit” I heard Hiro saying, right before I
fainted.
