"HEY! Watch where you going!"."Sorry!". "ARGH! Shintaro, where are you?" panic a girl. She always stumbles a few steps in front of her, clumsy. She hits so much people, as she doesn't care what they say. 'Keep running'. "EH?! Now my head is controlling me!" she mumbled. It was the 5th time she had to do that again. Almost every time, everyday. She always kept panic, being stubborn, even her friend didn't even care about it. But, she always care about her friend.

"Where could he be?" she turned around a few times. The hall was almost crowded, almost like she was swallow at the deep, dark ocean. Her eyes started to be covered by tears. She squeezed her uniform, trying not to cry. 'Please, please' she thought it again and again. "GAH!" a boy as her age stumbles at her, snickering. That girl put her pose into the right way hoping she wasn't going to be humiliated again in front of a bunch of crowds.

She adjust her red scarf around her neck. She twist her scarf a few times and wrap it around her neck. "Where are you?" she murmured. 'No sign of him, any where'. Now, she shivers or for any worst shaking. Those bunch of crowds or High School kids started snickering at her. 'NO! Think about it! What does he always say?' she put her hands wrapping around her ears. "Just don't care what they say, they're just a bunch of idiots" a sound of a familiar person was suddenly imaged in her head. Her eyes blinked widen.

"I can't do that!" she gulped down. "Then, what should you do?" that familiar voice echoed in her head. 'RUN!' her head demanded. In sudden, her body started moving uncontrolled. Running away from the corridors, running away from those peoples. It was like, she became a puppet of her own head. After a long run to the other side of the school, she stopped for a while. She pushed her hand to her chest. Her heart was pounding, pounding extremely tired of running. Why does she have to do this? Is it because of her friend? Or it was just consider running away?

"I felt- I felt- I can't do this any more" she pushed her body aside to the wall. She's tired already. She kneel down aside. A bright light highlight her eyes. 'Huh?!' she thought. She blinked a few time before looking to the place where the light comes. Her head turns up seeing the roof door was opened. 'HE MUST BE THERE!" her head cried. But, the stairs... Her heart was telling her to stop for a while, but her head already holds the control. Her body moved swiftly climbing up those stairs to the roof.

At the top of the stairs she took a depth remarkable breath before openning the door. She pushed the door with her two hands.

A big wind blew towards her, as her red scarf flutter behind her. She put both of her hands in front of her, she brace her self walking to the roof. "SHINTARO!" she screamed. A teenage boy over there turns around and saw her with his 'not in mood' face. The wind stopped. She fell down to the floor. She shuffles a few times, adjust her breath. That boy approaches her, he looks down and sighs, "Why are you here? Ayano?".

The brown haired girl looked at him, she didn't say anything. But a smile painted her face.

Ayano Tatetayama, 16-years-old, Second Class High School.


Shintaro hold his last week test paper. 100, perfect. 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfect' he scoffs. He looks around him self. A 'really' great spot for a loner to be. The roof. The breeze strikes him out, but he really doesn't care about it. It's like her doesn't care about everything. He crossed his leg a brief the view from the top of the school. It's Autumn already and he hates it. Just like the other seasons. He sighs and put his hand over the fence letting the test paper flew with the breeze.

'School-' he sighs. 'Ah, how many times I've sigh now? Hmph' he murmured. He looks at the test paper again. 'Kisaragi Shintaro, class 2-A' his hand writing on the left top of the paper. '2-A' he mumbled again. Putting his hand on his chin. What's wrong with his class? It doesn't have to matter with everything. Now, he remembers. "Maybe, I should go back, before she became panic" he said to him self.

But it was too late...

The roof door was opened wide. "SHINTARO!" A familiar voice shouted from upon the door. Her red scarf flutters with the find. He quickly puts his 'not in mood' face seeing her. 'Too late' he sighs. The wind stopped blowing as she fell down. He doen't have much choice, but to approaches that girl. He looks down at her, "Why are you here, Ayano" said Shintaro.

Ayano didn't said anything, but a smile painted her face. 'Great' he thought. 'I thought I would be here peacefully' he sighs. Okay, that 35 times he sighes for the past 10 minutes.


Ayano sat next to Shintaro who was leaning at the big fence at the south of the roof. She moved her legs front and back, front and back, all the time like that. That guy, her friend, Shintaro does seemed noticing her a lot. "You haven't answer my question" he said quickly throwing his face. Ayano smiled towards him. "Are you going to answer?" he asked again now with a deep stare narrowing towards her. "As always-"."Worried" said both of them in the same time.

"How did you know I was going to say that?!" cried Ayano looking at Shintaro. "You always said that when I'm gone" scoff Shintaro looking at the sky. Ayano giggles, hoping that Shintaro didn't notice her giggles. Or mabye not...

Shintaro gave her another narrowing death stare towards her. But, somehow Ayano didn't feel the distrubance at the death stare.

"So, Shintaro" started Ayano. "What?" he asked. "Will you say the same thing when I'm gone?" asked Ayano looking at the sky. "No" said Shintaro. "Really?" asked Ayano.

"NO, I'm sure, ergh, cold" he mumbled up his last words.

Ayano suddenly wraps her red scarf around Shintaro's neck, wrapping him in the warmth-ness of her scarf. Shintaro looked down surprised seeing the scarf that Ayano quickly wraps around him. "Warm enough?" asked Ayano with a cheery smile. 'Happy-go-lucky as usual' thought Shintaro saw Ayano sat next to him. "About that, Shintaro. You're sure you wont miss me right?" asked Ayano.

"Of course! You heard me back there right?!" shouted Shintaro at Ayano, hoping she would be scared. But not in a second chance. Somehow Shi "Shintaro-"."Hmph?"."When, I'm gone will you do something?" she asked a question again. "Something?".

"If there was a gang asked you to join them, will you join them too?" said Ayano. "Why would I joing a gang?!" scoff Shintaro. "Because, when I'm gone there will be other peoples who have suffer the same thing again and again. If you join them, you maybe could find me again and they'll greet you warmly. It's like another part of me" she smiled. "Why would I do that?" cried Shintaro. "Hmm, you'll see someday. You'll be a part of them too. 'Cause I've kind of made it" laughed Ayano. "You made a gang?" said Shintaro disbelieve what just Ayano said.

"Yeah, I made it just for fun, but my sibblings accuse it for reality" cheered Ayano putting her fingers on her cheeks. "Kids" mumbled Shintaro. "Actually, three of them already been a teenager now"."Hmm?"."You should meet time one day, Shintaro" smiled Ayano. "Yeah, one day" he said looking at the sky. "Shintaro, it's a beutiful day isn't it? Is my scarf warm?" cried Ayano. "Yes, yes, it is" he said. He couldn't believe what he just said.

It was the first time he make Ayano smiled. "I never thought you would say that!" shouted Ayano. "Hey, don't say that loudly!" shouted Shintaro closed Ayano's mouth. Ayano laughed seeing Shintaro's silly face when he covers her mouth. "Great and your laughing" burst Shintaro.

Sceen Change...

"Where Am I?" asked Shintaro looking around him self. Why does this place seem familiar. Desks, chairs, white board...isn't this his old classroom? Why would he be there? Is this just a dream?

Then he turned around forwards to an open window with the curtain shades blew inside. There was a brown haired girl smiling towards him. "Ay-A-A-Ayano?" he shakes. That girl didn't answer his question. The unwraps her red scarfs around her and walk towards him. She wraps the red scarf around him and whispered, "Red is the color of heroes". Shintaro's eyes widen off.

Then, Ayano jumped off the window saying goodbye to him without anymore words. Shintaro quickly ran to the window, she wasn't there anymore! Just then a quickly breeze blew him out from the window, making him fall off from the window!

Scene Changes...

Shintaro woke up seeing him falling trying to reach an open window as he fell off. He couldn't reach it his body is to weak. THUD! "Grr, ouch" Shintaro groaned. Shintaro looked up. Did he just fell off from the window and it was snowing? What is going on? He touches his head as his eyes began to turn red. "Ouch" He looks up again. Oh yeah, he was just taking all of his stuff from his Mom's house. But how did he fell from the window. Is that dream real?

He grabs his neck. Why does it felt that something was wrapping around his neck? But there was nothing? What's going on with him. And what time is it? He hopes he wasn't too late to participate on the meeting Kido had arrange for the Dan. Shintaro stood up, he was glad he fell onto the pile of snow. If not, what possible could happen to him? Death, of course.

"Onii-chan?" cried a familiar voice. Momo ran towards him. She carrying a pile of boxes, wearing an orange jacket, and dark orange scarf. "What are you doing on earth? You fell from the window?!" shouted Momo. "I'm okay! Nothing's worried about?" said Shintaro trying to convince Momo, useless. Momo's worried became more and more. "Master? Are you okay?" shouted Ene from Momo's phone. "Yeah, I'm okay?". His eyes began to turn red again. "You fell off from the window!" shouted Momo and Ene at the same time.

"And what's the problem with it?" asked Shintaro. "You could be hurt!" they shouted at the same time again. "I told you I'm-*sneeze*". "Great, Onii-chan could got a flu, here" said Momo wrapping his scarf at Shintaro's neck. "You should be careful next time" groaned Momo. "Yeah, yeah. What time is it?" he asked twisting the scarf. "13.45" said Momo looking at her watch.

"We need to go. The meeting will start in 15 minutes" he said walking to the Dan's base. "Are you sure? You seemed not well" said Ene. "Ene's right, you should get a rest" said Momo. "Nah, I've told you I'm fine already" said Shintaro kept walking. Hmph! He's fine nothing to be worried about. Everything's fine, nothing is-. Shintaro's legs started to wobble. Is that the effect after he fell from the window? It's nothing. He's pretty fine now. His legs started to wobble even more, uncontrolled. But, he had to walk to the base. He doesn't want to deal with Kido's anger.

Shintaro started walking in his wobbled legs. His surroundings became even messier... He felt his body temperature became even higher, compared with the winter season. His eyes turns red, again. His surrounding became more wavier. Is he having a hallucination? But it usually happens during Summer not Winter. His hands starting to shake a lot. What's happening to him. It felt like a haze is swallowing him.

'Not very comfortable' he murmured before he fell to the pile of snow. "ONII-CHAN!". That was the last words he heard before he became totally unconscious.

Sceen Changes...

"Master? Are you okay?" asked Ene from his computer at his apartment. Shintaro didn't answer. Ene knocks his screen. He sat down at the edge of his bed trying to get some sleep. "Master? Is anything wrong?" she asked knocking more harder. "Shut up. You're going to crack the screen" mumbled Shintaro who already crossed his legs trying to sleep.

Ene sat down looking at her master who wears dark clothing. Shintaro struggles to sleep, as Ene started to say he was a melancholic. He doesn't even cares about him. What he only wants it just to have a sleep. "Master?" said Ene. 'Damn you!' he thought. Why, why, why? Does she have any ears? He already said to her he wanted to sleep? Does she even knows what is sleep? Oh, she's a cyber girl, she doesn't know what's the meaning of sleeping.

"Master? Do you hear me?" cried Ene. Dang you- Bastard. Shintaro woke and and stare at Ene. His face was a blend of angry and tired. He stood up and walked towards his computer. He reached out his hand to Ene. He felt like he was inside the computer reaching for Ene's neck. As he grabs it, "Shut Up" he whispered. Ene in her depression face didn't say any other words. So that's it? She was tricking him! Can she just shut up already. Then, his quick swift squeezes Ene's neck. She broke into many pieces, million pieces.

Shintaro quickly shook his head. In front of him, his computer was popping many ERROR articles. Ene was gone, she was dead. What was he thinking?! He just wanted Ene to shut up for a while not killing her! He kneel down holding his head. BAKA! He hits his head on the floor. BAKA! How stupid is he? He just kill a person! A cyber person. And the ERROR articles wouldn't stop no more. Ene wasn't there anymore. And she wouldn't be there in his phone, any where in the world.

There's only one thing to do. He stood up reaching a drawer at the table. There shines a red scissors. Does he have to do it? He could live longer with out Ene. No, he must do it. If he lives, he will be trauma remembering how did Ene die, and his friend, Ayano. No, he have to kill him self. He already suffers for weeks remembering Ayano's death. And he wouldn't stand a chance remembering both of their death for ages. It wouldn't make him carry.

He took the scissors he raise it up in front of his neck. Is he ready for all of this? Three. He is ready for sure. Two. It's coming. One. His swift motion of his hands, the scissor stabs his neck. He fell to his bed. Nothing... His heart beat isn't beating any more. Nothing... He isn't breathing... Nothing... He's gone now. He's death in his own willing.

Sceen Changes...

Where? Where is he now? It seems he was blindfolded and his hands were tied back. What is this surrounding? It almost like-. "Welcome" said a giggling voice. The voice? It seemed familiar. "It's been a long time" that voice echoed again. "Who are you?" he shouted. "Who am I?" that voiced echoed again. "You didn't even remembered me?" the voiced said. Then Shintaro's blindfold was opened and also his tied hands.

"YOU!" Shintaro shouted. "Of course it's me!"A gun was put beside Kuroha's head. He put a sly smile before shooting him self. "Say goodbye to your friend KONOHA" he laughed. Konoha? How could he forgot. Kuroha was Konoha before. "NO!" Shintaro shouted. As the gun was shoot Shintaro blocked Kuroha's shooting making the bullet pierced his own head.

Shintaro fell down. He was dead again... Kuroha stood up. An evil smile painted his face. "Stupid human" said Kuroha leaving Shintaro's death body there.

Scene Changes...

BAM! A gun shoot smashed Kano's head. Kano kneeled down. Kido screamed catching him. Kuroha walked towards her. She was crying, Kano was gone already. Then, Seto tried to block Kuroha but he was quickly shot in the head by Kuroha. Mary screamed. Then another gun shot strikes at Kido's forehead. Momo screamed. Kuroha laughed and walked towards Momo who tried to cover up Mary.

Shintaro quickly blocks her. As his phone rang, Kuroha swift motion grabs his phone, revealing Ene in the screen. Kuroha slowly crushes the phone. Ene was screaming for help, the more she was, the more Kuroha squeeze the phone into pieces. 4 peoples were dead now. "Pathetic humans" laughed Kuroha. "NO!" screamed Shintaro.


"NO!" shouted Shintaro waking up. "Hey, calm down" said Seto pushing down Shintaro again making him laying back on the couch. "What happen?" asked Shintaro. "What happen?! What happen?! YOU FAINT! IN THE SNOW! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! I FREAKED OUT!" shouted Momo at Shintaro. "Kisaragi, calm down. Your brother is fine" said Seto.

"Okay, his fine" mumbled Momo. "What's going on?" asked Shintaro. "Momo said you faint, Konoha was there so he brought you here" said Seto. "T-T-Tea?!" said Mary. "Okay" said Shintaro. Mary quickly scrambled to the kitchen making tea. Shintaro looked around, he was at the base and everyone was there especially Hibiya. "How's the meeting?"."It was cancelled" sighs Seto.

"Cancelled? Why?".

"Danchou faint, she's been unconscious for the past 2 hours" said Ene showed up from Seto's phone. "She was screaming something in the morning, she had wake up for a few minutes before she collapsed again" explained Seto. "What happen to you?" asked Konoha. "I was-it was-I felt like-" Shintaro couldn't explain what he was going to say. It felt weird, it was like he was suck into a loop, a never-ending-loop, the Heat-Haze. But how? It was winter this season. And what's going on?

"I can't explain" said Shintaro taking the Tea that Mary gave. He looked at Momo who was struggling to comfort her self not to scream at her brother. Seto walks towards Kido who was laying on the other couch. He touches her forehead. She was fine, no fever, or anything. "GAH!" she suddenly shouted. "DANCHOU!" cheered Momo hugging her instantly. "Kido you, okay?" asked Seto. She didn't answer. Her face, it seemed she was terrified already. But terrified of what?

"Kido?" asked Kano looking at her. Kano snap his fingers. Still no answers. Kido suddenly cries, she cries hugging Momo. She kept crying without reasons. "Shhh, it's okay" whispered Momo trying to comfort Kido. "No" Kido cried she kept saying the same words all over again. "No" she whispered. "Kido, what's going on?" asked Seto. "No" she said again. THUD. What was that sound? Everyone was hoping it wasn't a bad thing. But...

"Kano-kun!" shouted Konoha. Kano fell, he was the one who is unconscious now. "Kano!" shouted Konoha again shaking his body. No answer. Kano isn't answering anymore. What is happening here? "He faint" he said slapping Kano's cheek. Mary got paniced around seeing Kano. "What's the bad about it?" scoff Hibiya. Mary ran around in circles. "First, Shintaro-san, then Danchou, now it's Kano-san!" cried Mary panicked out.

"Things are getting worst" said Konoha grabbing Kano on the couch. Shintaro didn't say anything even Kido who's still crying. What's going on in here? Is there anything wrong? Suddenly, Shintaro froze he felt he can't move anymore, something was behind him struggling to squeeze him. His hand flew in the sky, every one stare at him. "Shintaro?" asked Konoha. He can't speak something's gluing his mouth, what's going on again? His feet were tighten together by something. Something's wrapping him all together. 'S***' he thought. No use...

"ONNI-CHAN!" "SHINTARO-SAN!" "MASTER!"
