"this is..."
After trial's gate my vision was flooded by a bright light and when it reside, the scene before me change into that of a white hospital room.
Within the room a nostalgic scene are currently happening in front of me. The scene of a boy who just woke up on the hospital bed and a girl hugging him in tears.
They stayed that way for a while before the girl finally calm down and let go then for the rest of the visiting hours they talk and found many common interests among them.
The girl was reluctant to leave but under the urging from the nurse who came to check each room she finally relented and bid farewell.
I have a warm smile as I watched the event play out from the beginning to the end.
"You really like her do you." Said a gentle feminine voice beside me.
Although not a question, I nod to her words. That girl, Suzuki Miyako, was my first love and just so happens to be the person I saved. This scene, will not happen if not for that fateful day.
Just as I thought about it, the the scene in front of me stops before moving in reverse. Faster and faster the time rewind until we reached the evening of the day before.
That evening after school, the boy who previously was bedridden are currently walking home through the shopping district with a dazed and downcast expression.
It was by chance that he noticed two girls being led by a group of thug looking boys into an alley in the crowded street. Either curiosity or feeling something is wrong, the boy choose to follow them into the alley.

When he saw the boys tried to rip the girls uniform apart, he didn't think and just grab the nearest hard object and smack the nearest thug from behind.
The thug cry before he fell announce his presence to the rest of them but he make use of the time they are still digesting what's going on to push and kick the guys that are pinning the girls to the wall.
Lucky for him, the thing he pick up from the piles of garbage was conveniently a rusty steel pipe and by swinging it a bit he managed to make the thugs step back and giving him and the girls room to breathe.
He bark for the girls to get up and run before facing the thugs once more. The girls didn't dally as the moment they got the command they bolted as quickly as they could.
Of course the thugs did not stand still but their path are blocked by the boy. After the girls got away, the thugs turn their frustration onto him and with their numbers and many conveniently placed sticks or pipes around the boy couldn't keep up in stamina and got done in by the thugs.
After beating the daylight out of him one of the thug, who seem to be the leader, crouch down to him. He told him to mind his own business if he were to have a next life before pulling a pocket knife and stab the boy multiple times on the stomach.
Only when they hear the shout from the authorities did the thugs make a mad dash out of the area. The boy, who was bleeding out on the cold and unhygienic alley, cursed his own actions and mock his own actions that not only get him hurt but might as well take his life.
Although struggling to keep his consciousness, he was pleasantly surprised when he heard the voice that lead the officers was that of a young girl and he was even surprised when said girl crouch next to him with tears as the paramedics take a look at his wounds and the officers chasing the thugs in the distance.
The boy soon lose his consciousness but this time instead of a frown the boy had a smile on his face.
I was quite surprised at how the boy could survive that I mean how many stabs was it, eight or was it ten? Seriously, he must have a lot of blood to spare or have the tenancy of a cockroach.
I couldn't help but make fun of his situation because he was cursing his situation a moment ago and then thought maybe it wasn't so bad after all just after seeing a beauty crying for him.
How do I know? Well that's because the boy is my past life. I can understand why he curse his actions when he is the one mindlessly putting himself in danger and not worry if the girls got out safely. After all that me had a lot of troubles at home.
Just like before, when I thought of a certain time the scenery start to move towards that specific time.
It was the night before, just like usual the boy's old man come home drunk, forcefully do and beat his wife, try to r*pe his sister, and beat him up when he stop the man and gave his sister the chance to run. It was a messed up broken family but even so he managed to keep his moral compass.
Unlike their mother who turn to drugs, he become the supporting pillar for his sister and always try his best to make their lives better.
But that night was the last straw that broke the camel's back. When the man finally left him alone, he went to his sister's room to check on her. But unlike usual, she didn't answer the door.
When he decides to open the door, he found that it wasn't locked and his sister was not in there. There was only a note directed to him.
Apparently his sister had enough of this kind of life and decided to leave, she is thankful for all that he had done for her and promise she will someday help him out of the house as well and if he also couldn't take it anymore he could find her at their secret hideout.
The boy (or should I call my past self?) stood holding the note in a daze for a while before folding and keeping the note with him. He didn't come out of his room until the next day for school.
I might not have the best start but for once I am is glad that such are my beginning.
When he thought of why he thinks as such, the scene fast forward years into the future. The boy are now a young man freshly graduated from college and are hunting for jobs. It was the first job on his list and the only company he work with till the end.
With his previous experience, although he is good in academic and sports he chooses what resonates with him most, protecting others. He applied to a security firm and although he could fight and had some basic training over the past years it is still as its as the name apply just the basic and he doesn't have much practical experience in a peaceful world such as earth.
He really didn't have any expectations of being accepted but it comes as a surprise how the chairman of the firm just enter the interview room and declare that he is hired.
Apparently the owner wife was deeply indebted to him in her past and so she convince her husband to hire him when she saw his application.
He was extremely confused as he didn't remember any girl who would be indebted to him other than Miyako and her friend but both are still very much single and as far as he know none of them ever hint they are in a relationship with anyone. He should know since he is pretty close to them and because he meticulously try to find that kind of information when it comes to Miyako.
At first after what happened, he was just friends with Miyako but as they spent more time together he couldn't help but come to like her more than that.
Watching until here I snort at the thought since if he was not such a coward he would have been together with her a lot sooner.
Returning his focus, his past was still in a daze as the elevator he took reach the ground floor. As he was about to exit through the door, a pair of hand clasp over his eyes and a young cheerful voice ask him if he recognizes who it is.
I feel greatly embarrassed watching my past self tear up and broke into tears and snot when he guessed the person identity and hug her tight. It was the sister he had lost contact for so many years and for a few moments the role seem reversed as his sister act like a mature older sister trying to calm her crying baby brother.
The scene then fast forward to a couple short scenes but they could be summed up shortly as him getting his first assignment as a bodyguard, his client turning out to be Miyako who had a big grin, the years past by with them having many life events that now seem suspiciously convenient in getting them together. Heck if I think about it now my life seem more like a tv drama than anything.
"You seem confused, what might be bothering you?" The female voice asked with concern.
"Well I thought this was supposed to be a trial of sort and I was prepared to face some kind of danger or test but all I'm doing is watching my life story." I answer her honestly before turning to the side.
There stood a radiantly beautiful blonde woman in those weird dress Greek gods wear while munching over a bowl of popcorns.
"Are you talking about the trial of the heart? Because if it is so, then this is it." She said casually as she scoop some popcorn into her mouth.
I look at her weirdly for a bit before asking in a puzzled tone, "this is it? No epic fight or rigorous test?"
"Yep this is all there is to it, I just need to see if someone's heart are worthy to be my champion after they remember their life story. So far you are doing pretty good too, although I feel sorry for a lot of girls in your memories." She said with a grin before mumbling the last part so I couldn't hear well enough.
"Oh this one is interesting!" She happily chimed, making me return my attention to the... I guess I should call it movie now.
It was playing the scene after my and Miyako's death due to old age. The scene show's that she and I in what look to be our younger selves sitting in front of a plain looking teen with thick glasses across the desk who claim to be the goddess of reincarnation.
The girl offered both of them the choice of eternal rest or reincarnating within the cycle of life once more, she said she offered it because we have been behaving well in our lifetimes and didn't give her much paperwork like many others hotheads that came before.
Miyako and I look at each other briefly before we, at the same time, answered that we would like to reincarnate with each other once more.
The goddess asked why we want to reincarnate and here is when our answer got different. I answered so I can protect those I care for once more while Miyako answered so she could keep a better leash on me this time around. An answer which left both that me and current me baffled.
The goddess laugh at her answer and wave her hand, the next thing I see is me waking up as a baby.
... I don't remember that conversation with the goddess ever happened tho.
The woman next to me laugh loudly when she saw that part with the goddess of reincarnation before she snap her finger and the place turn into an office.
"I like how your wife handle you and how you guys are so connected even now. Let's get straight to business and write the specifications you like for your weapon." Is what she, who somehow have changed into formal attire and lost the bowl of popcorn, said to me as she pushes a stack of papers and a pen.
I look between the paper and her grinning face a few times before starting to write what I want for the sword skills and specifications as well as a question at the bottom.
"Are you wearing pads? I don't remember you being busty in the previous dress"
