Shade: Black and White

"My greetings Akashi", said someone. 

"Who are you?", asked Akashi. 

"How can you forget me my boy?", asked someone with a really beautiful tone. 

"I see you are still in the darkness", said someone. 

"Let's light it up"

Akashi was standing on a beach, a beautiful beach during the summer. And near him stood a woman. 

Akashi looked and he got terrified, he knew that woman. 

"Yo...You are that...day", muttered Akashi. 

"Hm you are scared Akashi", said the woman. 

Akashi looked down and then at the sea, he calmed himself. 

"Why are you here?", he asked. 

"Well I am you after all", said the woman. 

"Ms. Lei who are you and what are you, my fate changed that day", replied Akashi. 

"Hm that's true my boy, but can I ask you a question what are you according to your perspective?", asked Lei. 

"I am a human", replied Akashi. 

"You are a human? In what perspective?", asked Lei. 

"My humanity", replied Akashi.

"So that is your reasoning?", asked Lei. 

"Yeah that is", replied Akashi. 

"Very well", replied Lei. 

"But were you a human when you killed that man?", asked Lei. 

The trauma caught Akashi, and as he remembered everything, he started to vomit. 

"Hm that is a reaction", complimented Lei. 

"Akashi humans are weak, the very concept of humanity is weak", said Lei. 

"Whatever happens I will never accept the fact that I am shade, I will never abandon my humanity", declared Akashi. 

"Can I ask you a question, my boy? Think when you have a bullying friend and one day an abuser catches both of you and makes the deal that If the bully kills you then he will go alive and if you kill the bully then you can be alive. Will you kill the bully or allow yourself to be killed?", asked Lei. 

"I will allow myself to be killed, I am a human", replied Akashi. 

"Very well", remarked the woman. 

"But one day will come to Akashi where you will abandon your humanity", said Lei. 

"That will never happen", replied Akashi. 

"Ha!! What was that dream", awakened Akashi who was sleeping. 

"Was that the lady?", he asked to himself. 

"Brother!!! Come on!!", shouted Akane.

"Coming!!!", replied Akashi. 

He quickly got dressed and dashed to the hall. 

"Akane where is Sae?", asked Akashi. 

"Oh! She had tennis practice, so she left early", said Akane. 

"Hm"

"Let's go", said Akashi. 

They departed from the house and walked towards the school.

They got into the bus and climbed the hill to reach the building. 

"Sae!! it's your turn to play", ordered the captain.

"Yes I am coming", Sae picks up the racket and gets into the court. 

The captain sat on the bench and watched the game. 

"So that is Sae Hee?", asked the coach.

"Yes sir, she is really good, I am recommending to make her a regular", said the captain.

"Oh! She played well, let me talk to her after the game", said the coach. 

The game ended, and Sae won.

"Sae!! The coach is calling you", shouted the captain. 

"Yes, cap!!", replied Sae and went to the coach. 

"Come to the P.E. room", said the coach. 

"I am the best friend of your grandfather", said the coach. 

They walked along the gardens quite far from the tennis court, there was no one, and the gardens were swarming with butterflies. 

"You are Grandpa's best friend?", asked Sae. 

"Yes. Hence I am going to kill you", said the coach.
