Chapter 221: Time's Love (Kai's Past Arc 2)

"You are barely a day old and yet can cause problems for millennium's old entities. I wish that I could save your parents little fella but they were already too far gone. Guess I am your parent for now." A girl with orange hair and multi-colored eyes spoke as she held Kai in her arms.

She was wearing traditional red robes and had an orange and a yellow eye. Her chest was flat but she was clearly a female.

Her age appeared to be around eighteen as she walked around in a beautiful garden full of various flowers with the baby in her hands.

"So your name is Kai huh. Let's see how powerful you will be in the future. But for now, sleep peacefully." The girl whispered with a smile as the baby was sleeping in her arms.

She sat down near a tree and looked at the baby before closing her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw that the baby was still sleeping but he was a little bigger now.

"So my powers don't affect you, little buddy. I guess it's about time I woke you up." She sighed as she poked Kai's cheek and his eyes slowly opened up.

He clenched his baby fists as he stared at the face of the girl. He made baby noises as the girl smiled and stood up with Kai still in her arms.

The little baby looked bewildered as he scammed the nearby area for the two people he had seen earlier.

"Mmhmhhmm?" He opened his mouth and asked the girl as she somehow understood what he meant.

"You will never meet them again little fella. The Darkness swallowed them alongside their powers since they had my sister's powers. Blame Space if you want to but there is nothing anyone can do about it." The girl replied with sad eyes as the baby tilted his head in confusion.

"Guess not interacting with living beings except my sister has forced me to talk to a baby. What's the worst that can happen now?" The girl muttered to herself as she heard the baby's stomach growl.

Kai pointed at his mouth with his fingers as the girl smiled and waved her hand in the air. A milk bottle appeared in her hand as she gave it to Kai to happily put it in his mouth and started sucking on it.

"Take it, easy kid. I will get you another bottle if you are hungry after finishing this." The girl chuckled as she saw how Kai was sucking the milk.

But he was happy with one bottle as he wiped his mouth and closed his eyes to sleep again. The girl smiled had summoned a cot as she placed him there.

"Don't get too attached to him." A voice suddenly came from her behind as the girl turned back to see her sister frowning.

"Let me remind you that we will have to go to sleep after a few years and that child will be left out in the open without anyone helping him. Remember what happened with Kosma when we pampered her and when we were gone, those damn creator brats bullied her. But Kosma is a primordial entity where this child is your only descendant and is mortal." Space said while frowning as her black eyes glanced at her sister with accusation.

But the other girl could only clench her fists.

"His parents are dead because of me sis. At least let me take care of him so that he has some love before being released out in the open without any family." The girl said as Space sighed and shook her head.

"Do whatever you want to do Time. Just don't blame me later on." She said and vanished as the girl turned towards Kai with a sad expression.

The baby was still asleep but the girl was restless. 

And with that, time slowly passed.

"Time. Why can't I call you anything else?" The baby was now 3 years old and was walking as he looked at Time's face.

The girl smiled as she bent down and poked Kai's forehead. He rolled his eyes as the girl laughed.

"Your hair have grown so big. Do you want a haircut?" Time asked as she looked at Kai's hair which were growing in the right direction

He had his father's purple-black hair. His body was healthy for a three-year-old and he could already speak and write every language alive.

But that was because of Time's powers. Her sister had also come to visit several times and even though she tried to hide it, Kai had fascinated her.

"When will aunt come back? She is fun to play with?" Kai then asked as the girl frowned.

"Are you saying that I am not fun to be with?" She asked with narrowed eyes as Kai grinned but didn't say anything.

"You little..." Time's voice trailed off as Kai's eyes suddenly started glowing with crosses. Two white wings burst through his clothes as he turned his gaze in the west direction.

"Someone is peeking in here." He suddenly said as Time blinked in confusion.

"This is my personal sanctuary and no one can come in here or see anything inside." She replied but seeing the serious expression on Kai's face, she closed her eyes and released a burst of power.

She suddenly heard a yelp from the outside as her eye widened and she teleported outside her garden. 

Hovering in the space were four girls with strange clothes and arrogant expressions as Time frowned.

"What are you creator brats doing here?" Time asked in annoyance as the creators frowned.

"We found a fluctuation in powers and were wondering whether you had something to do with it." The creator of destinies said as Time silently cursed.

Being the Darkness's offsprings, the creators could sense disruptions in powers no matter how carefully hidden they were.

"I think you guys forgot that I am about to go to sleep in about two years time." Time replied as the creator of destinies raised her eyebrows and then vanished with the rest of the girls.

"Guess my time with Kai is about to come to an end. How ironic is it that I am Time itself and yet I can't control it." Time muttered to herself with a sad smiel before she vanished.
