Chapter one: The Friends we cherish
I honestly can't believe how today has went from bad to worse but then to I can't classify it as worse or better but I'm getting ahead of myself let's start off from the beginning with who am I
My name is Shido Itsuka and I'm just your basic 16 year old high school student and when i say average i mean average there is nothing special about me blue hair, amber brown eyes, average height and build and I live with my foster sister Kotori I never really knew my dad and my mom abandoned me at a young age then I was adopted by Kotori's parents and that leads to right now and speaking of my little sister.
"WAKE UP!" Said Kotori who is currently jump on top of trying to get me out of bed with what could be considered the worst wakeup call in history
"Kotori my darling little sister." I said irritated by the events that are transpiring
"Yes darling big brother." Kotori said a smile plastered on her face
I contemplate whether or not I should get revenge on her but in the end I decide against it "Kotori how can i get out of bed when you're standing on top of me."
"oh sorry" she said getting off my bed as I stand up and look at the girl in front of me Kotori is a the standard middle schooler size with red eyes and red hair tied into twin tails by her white ribbons with one bit of hair sticking out like an antenna 'why does that happen anyways' I wonder but immediately snap out of it as I remember what I have to do.
"Hey Kotori I know you want to eat so please go downstairs and wait for me I'll be down in a minute to make breakfast ok" I said
"Ok" she said taking off down the stairs
I'm left staring at the door and I wonder something 'I'm very grateful that she doesn't remember anything that happened back if she knew I don't know how she would be.'
Yes at some point something very bad happened involving me and Kotori and as a result we both lost our memories of it and I only recently got them back how I got them back it was through a picture that had been taken a bit before that event but it had been forgotten as well and I may have not remembered a thing if that picture hadn't been of something very special to me.
Leaving my thoughts alone I quickly but on my school uniform I go to Raizen high school while my sister attends the middle school I let out a sigh and as a walk towards the door I open my desk and grab two photos one of which was the before mentioned memento and the other was also a picture that was close to me quickly sliding them into my pocket I go towards the kitchen.
As I'm making breakfast kotori is in the living room watching the news currently we are the only two people in the house our parents are on a business trip and we have no idea when they'll be back so for now it's just us.
"in other news in the early hours of the morning in the outskirts of tenguu city the civilians in neighboring areas have been told to evacuate" said the news reporter
"Another spacequake" I sighed
Spacequakes in a very simplified for were unknown phenomenon that caused catastrophic damage and killed hundreds to millions depending on the size and the area they happen in the first one to appear was in Eurasia and it killed around 150 million people and practicly eradicated everything in its area.
'The thing is to me what causes them is not unknown' I thought the real cause our something called spirits being of unknown origin and when and wherever one appears a spacequake immediately follows I only know this because I met one a long time ago I didn't get a proper explanation but I got enough to get a basic understanding 'of course kotori doesn't know who told me I don't think if she did her and the spirit may have both been in danger.'
"You know they stopped for a while but they seem to be starting back up again" Kotori said 'things seem to be moving quicker than expected don't you think' she said that last part a quietly but I heard but I decided not to answer instead...
"Kotori" I said quickly moving in front of her "why are you eating that before breakfast" referring to the lollipop she currently had in her mouth she immediately jumps back in complete shock I sigh "ok you can eat it as long as you finish breakfast ok" she nods and i quickly go back to making breakfast.
"so Kotori since you have the junior high opening ceremony today do you want something for lunch" I ask pretty much knowing what her answer is before she says it
"A DELUXE KIDS PLATE!" She shouts out I can practically see stars in her eyes I know arguing is pointless so I agree to it "ok, ok at lunch you and me will go out to eat and let me guess based on what you want you want to do to Danny's am I right"
If I wasn't sure there were stars in her eyes before i am definitely sure now as she jumps up from her seat "YES' she shouts with pure joy "and you can't go back on this promise no matter what even if terrorists take it over or a spacequake happens." She stop and look at me "you promise" she holds out her pinky wanting a pinky promise and I extend and grab hers with my pinky "I promise that no matter what we will go to Danny's for lunch" I made the promise with a smile on my face "now come or we're gonna be late for school."
After a few minutes I and Kotori split off in different directions "REMEMBER LUNCH!" She yelled "YA I'LL REMEMBER!" I yell back at her as I turn around I can't help but notice two things
First I see a trio of girls huddled together whispering to each other and looking back at me and immediately recognize the girls first is the girl with spiky golden hair and golden eyes Ai Yamabuki basically the leader of the group, next is Mai hazakura who has brown eyes and has short brunette hair and from what i know she seems to be a gossip hound but it's just rumors I heard, and finally the girl who wears glasses and has purple shoulder length hair and matching purple eyes is named Mii Fujibakama and all I've heard her say at least when I'm listening has been "that's so lame" and all of them are wearing Razien high uniforms and from what i can hear them say they seem to think I'm a siscon "great just what I needed" I sighed.
And as for the second thing is that i feel someone other than them staring at me and I quickly take a look around and hiding behind a lamp post in a stalkerish fashion is our class genius and top athlete Origami Tobiichi she has short silver hair and piercing blue eyes, as soon as we make eye contact she ducks behind the pole to remain out of sight and as i turn around and continue on to school I can't help but remember when I first met her she was crying as both her parents had just been killed in a fire that mysteriously started at least to most it mysteriously started' I thought thinking back to that day I can't but feel sorry for everyone involved on that day.
As I walk into the classroom and sit at my desk I am immediately greeted by my friend Hiroto Tonomachi who has spiky black hair and blackish grey eyes, and to say it best hes not afraid to say whats on his mind and if he remembered correctly there were rumors going around that Hiroto was gay but shido highly doubted it.
"Yo shido how you doing" he said with his usual smile
"Good how about you" I said
"I'm doing awesome i mean I have a girlfriend now you want to meet her" said an ecstatic Hiroto
"ummm sure" I said surprised Hiroto had never been one to grab a girls attention
He quickly pulls out his phone and opens it revealing a girl from what looks like a kind of dating sim 'and how did I know something wasn't right' I think before I feel a presence walk up behind me and i quickly turn around to see Origami standing there
"Itsuka Shido" she said and judging by the directness and caution in her voice she is asking as if I won't remember and I had forgotten before but as I said I have those memories again
I smile and I see some relief in her eyes that quickly leaves "yes origami" as I say that I can hear a quick gasp from Hiroto and see the trio and a couple other students stare at us and I quickly whisper to her "don't worry I still remember you" and she seemed to take comfort in that as she went to her seat.
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around "Dude you know Origami" Hiroto asks a shocked expression on his face.
"yes were actually childhood friends" I said remembering back to that time and as return from my thought I notice the other students whispering 'they probably think me and Origami are going out or something well I should be prepared just in case anyone ask' I thought in all honesty he saw Origami as only a friend, but then i get the urge to ask "If you want to I actually have a picture of back when we were kids if you wanted to see it" I say to hear a yes from Hiroto as I go to grab the picture I see Origami has returned as well as Ai, Mai, and Mii all wanting to see it as i pull out the picture I see i grabbed both of them but It didn't really matter.
And i show the picture of a 11 year old me and origami and a 8 year old kotori all smiling as the picture was taken, I look around seeing the reaction Hiroto's is of surprise maybe because origami is actually smiling, the trio's was one of looking at something very cute, origami's was different she was looking at something else and I'm sure I know what it is which is confirmed when she ask "Shido what is that?" Saying that as she pointed at the second picture "oh that" i chuckled remembering it well and I show them it to a gasp from everyone around me.
The picture shows a me that is younger than in the last picture in this one im about 8 years old and in it there is a girl next to me approximately 2 years younger and as i look at it I hear Ai ask "who is that" and I respond with "my friend from a long time ago and one who I miss dearly" and I wasn't lying a day doesn't go by where I don't think about her and it lead me to think maybe I think of her as more than a friend, I look over at origami real fast and i notice she's staring at the girl with pure hate in her eyes before i can ask what's wrong our teacher walks in sender her back to her desk 'I'll have to ask her about it later' I thought turning my attention to the teacher.
to say it was a pleasant surprise on who the teacher was is an understatement as it was Tamae Okanime or as the student like to call her Tama-chan based on her young appear her age is actually 29 has short brown hair with thin framed glasses over her brown eyes oh and she was popular with every student as evidence by the cheers from the class.
I can't help but look over at the seat next to mine which was origami (did i forget to say she sat there) and I lean over and whisper to her 'if you have time I want to talk after class' she nods her head i return attention to the teacher for class to fully start.
As class end I also realized i made a huge mistake 'AH NO I FORGOT I HAD TO MEET KOTORI' I scream inside my head and before I know it origami is waiting for my but then I get an idea "hey origami I forgot i had to go meet my sister for lunch so I got to go but if you want you can walk with me and we can talk on the way" I suggest and she say "ok' and as we are about to leave.
"THIS IS NOT A TRAINING DRILL THIS IS NOT A TRAINING DRILL A SPACEQUAKE HAS BEEN FORECASTED ALL CIVILIANS WITHIN THE VICINITY PLEASE EVACUATE TO THE NEAREST SHELTER IMMEDIATELY!" A loud speaker blares out an alarm
"ok Origami we have to..." I start say before I notice she's gone as I run to the shelter I can't help but think what kind of spirit is going to appear then I remember Kotori 'No there is no way she would be there right" I think but I have to check I pull out my phone and check her phones GPS and my heart nearly stops it says its right at Danny's and I immediately turn towards the restaurant's direction and run as fast as I can ignoring the yells of everyone around me.
I eventually arrive and look around wildly and yell out "KOTORI WHERE ARE YOU" but as I start to search suddenly
BOOM
The quake hits and I am pushed down by the force of it as I start to get back up recovering from being thrown to the ground I stare at the crater before me shocked by it and that I had survived but then I notice there is a figure in the center of the crater surrounded by the smoke and as it clears what or rather who I see surprises me
In the center of the crater was a girl she was short and was wearing a white dress with a green hooded coat with rabbit ears and a tail with a pink ribbon she had blur eyes and blue hair but the most distinguishing feature was the rabbit puppet that was on her left hand.
Shido couldn't believe his eyes and his mind was racing a million miles per hour 'WHAT' he internally screamed unable to say it out loud and as he was beginning to get a grip on himself another explosion hit near the girl and he looked at the source to members of a military unit known as the AST (anti spirit team) who as the name implies are sent to terminate spirits and his shock among them is a familiar silver haired girl.
"Origami" he said in complete shock and the silver haired girl who had just noticed him and flew down right in front of him and said "I don't know why you're here but you need to leave now" unable to respond shidou had managed to get to his feet only to see another shot about to be fired at the spirit give and instead of running away to everyone shock he ran straight for the girl.
"YOSHINO!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he threw himself in front of the shot to feel an immense burning pain as it hit him and noticed it went straight through him and as he stumbled forward he noticed the girl Yoshino who looked shocked on the verge of tears he went towards smiled and moving his rather heavy feeling arm and patted her head "don't worry i told you I'd always protect you" he said right before he collapsed
As he felt himself drift into darkness he thought one thought 'at least I saw here one last time' for the girls he protected was the one in the photo, the one who was his oldest friend.
The one who I had started to fall in love with.
