"Thank you so much guys..." Ayumi sniffed "Your the best friends anyone could have..."she sobbed as tears rolled down her cheeks at the mere thought of moving schools and not being able to see her friends however, there was nothing she could do about 's parents had got new jobs,causing them to move away and making Ayumi move schools however, the move was made harder than usual for Ayumi because of an incident two months ago, when eight friends and their teacher had been sent to Heavenly Host elementary school, a school filled with death, gore and lost souls. Unfortunately, only five out of the original nine had made it out and, even though they may of been alive on the outsude, they were all slowly dying on the inside as a result of the traumatic events and the loss of close friends. What made the whole experience worse, was the fact that no one seemed to remember their deceased friends and teacher

"We'll all miss you Shinozaki." Naomi stated solemly beforr throwing her arms around Ayumi "...can't...breathe.."Ayumi chocked out whilst Satoshi tried to pull Naomi off her.

"Nakashima, just because you don't want her to go, doesn't mean you should kill her."Yoshiki commented to which everyone laughed before Naomi finally let go of Ayumi "Anyway,it's half six so we best get going."Satoshi suggested to which everyone agreed, walking out the classroom door and heading to the main entrance of the school.

"Shinozaki...?"Yoshiki said, tapping her on her shoulder to get her attention "Yeah, what's up?"she asked turning around to face him "Well...I was just wondering if I could...walk you home...?" Yoshiki asked the smaller girl nervously. She giggled at how cute he was, especially when he was embarrased before she nodded and replied with"Okay, why not.."

"Bye Shinozaki!"Naomi shouted to her friend as Ayumi and Yoshiki set off on the direction of Ayumi's house and her and Satoshi set off walking the other way to their houses "Bye guys, we'll have to meet up somewhere at some point."Ayumi answered back to her friends as her and Yoshiki carried on walking "So what school are you going to be going to?" Yoshiki asked trying to start a normal conversation

"Well my sister said it was called Byakydan senior high but i've not actually been told yet."Ayumi replied

"Thats the one on the other side of town isnt it?"Yoshiki asked

"Yeah,its near the house we are moving into."Ayumi answered

"We are still going to see you arent we?"Yoshiki questioned, desperatelly hoping the answer was yes

"Yes we will still see each other, i"ll make sure of it."Ayumi answered dreading to even think what her life would be like without the boy walking next to her, without her best friend, without the boy she had grown to love, without Yoshiki

"Shinozaki...can I tell you something?"Yoshiki asked

"Yeah sure what is it."Yoshiki asked

"Well...i've known you for like...ages now and i'll really miss you, just please say you'll stay in contact with us all."Yoshiki practically begged her

"Kishinuma, i will, of course i'm going to stay in contact. Why would you think i wouldn't?" Ayumi asked in reply before noticing someone stood behind Yoshiki. This person she knew, this person knew her but she forced her gaze away from them, knowing it was a stupid thing to admit her feelings with the person still stood behind Yoshiki however, he carried on the conversation as normal "I just thought that...once you make new friends..you would forget us..."Yoshiki answered quietly, hoping that she would never forget them

"Of course I'm not going to forget you!" Ayumi replied dramatically

"Sorry..."Yoshiki muttered looking down at the ground

"Why are you apologising!"Ayumi questioned lightly punching Yoshiki's shoulder

"I don"t know, i really wish we could all just stay together."Yoshiki answered

"But...We can't be together...not even as friends, separation is usually a weakness in any relationship however, there is nothing any of us can do to stop this particular separation." Ayumi said in reply

"Why cant we, i mean i know youre moving schools but it doesnt matter..we can still stay in contact with each other..can"t we?"Yoshiki asked out

"Its not that..i cant explain it right now but i do really like you Kishinuma..I don't want it to be this way but I don't have a choice this time.."Ayumi tried to explain

"Are you sure? I'm sure if you liked me that much you could explain what you mean."Yoshiki inquired

"Well..i could but..."Ayumi trailed off

"But what?"Yoshiki demanded

"Why are you being like this?" Ayumi asked the usually kind and caring boy

"Im being like this because i want to help. I want to help you Shinozaki, no matter what it us and I wouldn't care if I died trying to help you."Yoshiki replied"look, i dont know whats wrong but whatever it is, i want to help."

"But..i dont want you to get hurt."Ayumi mumbled as Yoshiki pulled her into a hug

"Ayumi, I would do anything if it was for you."Yoshiki stated

"Yoshiki ...i will come back but,if you love me let me go, this is something i must do alone." Ayumi said "I need to go." she said turning around and setting off inside before turning back around and kissing Yoshiki's cheek, after which she turned around before going inside, at least he thought she went inside when actually she had gone to meet the person who had been waiting for her...

What the hell,Yoshiki thought, something she must do on her own...what the hell is going on? He asked himself many questions on his way home, not minding the spitting rain or the chill that hung in the cold damp air so when he reached his apartment, he quickly got something to eat before going for a quick shower and then to bed, falling straight away into a deep dark and dreary nightmare.

(So, im not entirely sure where this story will go. I have started the 2nd chapter and i might be done with that pretty soon so yeah. Also, happy (late) new year😄)
