Chapter 1: Bad Feeling
On that day, after the end of classes at school, Yuki was walking with Luka.
Luka looked at Yuki, who seemed to be busy thinking.
Luka: Yuki. Is there something wrong?
Yuki turned to Luka and said: Aaah, Luka... No... Nothing in particular, I was thinking a little.
Luka: About what?
Yuki: The last period was quiet and there was no movement for Duras. I thought it would be good if the situation remained that way.
Luka: Is there something different today?
Yuki: Amm... I didn't know yet. But there seems to be a new issue. Toko Chan told me that Takashiro San called Tsukumo Kun and Shusei Kun for this.
Luka: I see…
Yuki: I hope that everything will be okay.
"At that time, I did not know ... That this issue will change a lot! That we will lose an important friend from us ..."
In another building belonging to World's End.
World's End is the Organization dealing with issues that have direct relations with Duras.
Tsukumo was sitting and putting his hand on his ear, trying to focus using his Kami no Mimi.
Takashiro walked several steps and then turned to Tsukumo.
Takashiro: how it, Tsukumo? Have you heard anything?
Tsukumo shook his head and said: No.. I could not feel his presence.
Takashiro began thinking for a moments, then he said: Tsukumo does not feel his presence, the more likely that this man has been already...
On the other side, there was a woman in her 40s, with tears falling from her eyes. The women who are looking for her husband, who did not return to his home for week without saying a word .. She wants to find her beloved husband.
Takashiro was not sure if the case had anything to do with Duras, but he decided to search for the missing person anyhow.
In another corner, Shusei was sitting and using his crystal balls, with his ability the Kami no Me to search for the missing man.
Shusei was doing his best to find the missing person.
He knew this person and his wife since he was a child. They were friends to his parent.
Suddenly, Shusi's face became pale. He stood quietly and said: Excuse me ..
He left the room while they were looking at him

Suddenly, Shusi's face became pale. He stood quietly and said: Excuse me ..
He left the room while they were looking at him.
Tsukumo: .. Shusei?
Takashiro: (As i thought ..)
Tsukumo looked at Takashiro and said: Takashiro sama, I will go to see shusei..
Takashiro: Yes, please.
In the corridor, Shusei was standing, leaning on the wall and putting his hand on his face.
- Shusei ... ?
Shusei turned to the sound and found Tsukumo here.
Tsukumo said with a worried voice: Are you okay?
Shusei breathes deeply and turned to him and said: ... Yes, I'm fine,I'm sorry to leave suddenly.
Tsukumo: No .. You don't need to apologize. But what happened? It sounds terrible..
His facial expressions became sad and he didn't say a word.
Tsukumo: Shusei …
After that Shusei replied in a sad voice: We must go to tell Takashiro sama.
Shusei walked back to the office room, while Tsukumo wondered: ( What did he see..? )
Shusi entered the office, where Takashiro was waiting, and before anyone could say any word, the woman rushed to him and grabbed him strongly and she said: Please tell me he is okay! Tell me where he is ...?!
Shusei replied in a low voice: Taki san..
She looked into his eyes, Shusei turned his face and avoid looking at her
weeping eyes.
He didn't want to look into her eyes, he didn't want to say anything to her.
Taki : Why? Why you aren't saying anything?
Shusei closed his eyes and said: I'm sorry ...
Taki began to tremble and was about to scream, Takashiro looked at Tsukumo and said: Tsukumo ... I'll leave her to you ..
Tsukumo told her gently: Please Come with me..
But she said quickly: I will not come... I want...
Tsukumo was aware that she would receive a violent shock, he gently told her: We will not leave the place, we will go to breathe some air outside and then come back here ... Please trust me...
After hearing his words, Taki felt some calm in her heart and left the place with Tsukumo.
Takashiro look at Shusei and said: Is he dead?
Shusei replied: Yes, sir...
Takashiro: I see ...
Takashiro looked at Shusei, who looks sad and worried.
Takashiro put his hand on Shusei shoulder and said: I know it was difficult to tell her ... I'll do that with Tsukumo. The most important thing is the circumstances and whether it is related to Duras...
Shusei said : Takashiro .. sama ..
Takashiro : what ?
Shusei : Taki San should not see his body.. Asahi San ...
Takashiro: Is it that bad?
Shusei replied with intermittently voice: Yeah.. Very.. Bad..
Takashiro : I understand .. We must go to his place directly, and we will talk in detail in the way, and then see the situations.
Takashiro turned to Shusei and said: shusei, you go before me to the car, Ibiki waiting outside, and I'll come soon..
Shusei : Yes,sir ..
Tsukumo was sitting with Taki in front of trees, Takashiro came to them, and it seems, that she calmed down.
Takahiro said to Taki: Can we talk later? The time is late now, and we have to go searching to handle this issue.
Taki looked at Tsukumo who smiled to her, and then she looked to Takashiro and said: Ok , i will come her tomorrow, and please don't hide anything! I can't do anything by myself so please help me.
Takashiro surprised by her answer and then smiled and said: Things are better here.. Well done Tsukumo ..
I call one to pick you, Tsukumo make sure that she reaches her home, and then you can return to the home too.
Tsukumo : What about shusei?
Takashiro : We still have some work, tell others that.
Tsukumo : I understand..
After some time, Takashiro, Shusei and Ibiki were in the car, heading for the place that Shusei had identified.
Shusei finally says: Here... , we should go out and walk for little, the place is close...
The place where Shusei referred to it is a mountain, the car cannot enter in, Ibiki stopped the car to go there...
In Twilight Mansion
Hotsuma sitting saying: It's boring, Why Shusei didn't back yet!
Toko said: Shut up, stupid Hotsuma! Go and play with your games!
Hotsuma: I want Shusei now ..!
Toko: You only care about those games! Then, go and play! Don't bother us!
Hotsuma responded angrily: What? Do you want to say I am interested in the Games, more than Shusei?
Yuki said, trying to calm him down: Calm down, please Hotsuma Kun,Toko Chan didn't mean this ..
Toko said: Forget it Yuki Chan, Hotsuma like a kid as usual. Let little Hotsuma wait for Shusei..
Hotsuma: Tche, you are the baby here, you're also waiting Tsukumo right? I know that your reaction would be like a baby when Tsukumo come back..
Toko stood up and said: What did you say?
A sigh from Tachibana.
Yuki: Toko chan.. , Hotsuma kun..
But they didn't listen to him, because they were arguing as usual.
Luka: Leave that idiot
Yuki : But …
Tsukumo entered the house with a smile, saying: I'am home..
Yuki: Ah.. Tsukumo kun... Welcome back..
Toko turned to Tsukumo happily, ran to him and hugged home, Tsukumo
Hotsuma: See! like I said ! What a baby!
Toko turned to him and said: Nothing to do with you!
Tsukumo gently touch her hair: Toko chan...
Hotsuma: Who care! I'll go to see my Shusei he is cooler than your Tsukumo
Toko: What !
Hotsuma thought that Shusei had also returned home.
Tsukumo: Hotsuma.. If you are looking for Shusei.. He isn't back yet..
Hotsuma quickly turned to Tsukumo: What? Why?
Tsukumo : Takashiro Sama said they still have some work and they might be late.
Hutsuma: Damn you Takashiro….
Toko : Haha , you know who the baby now..?
Hotsuma angry said: Damn!
Hotsuma left the place.
Yuki: Hotuma kun?
Tsukumo: As Takashiro sama said, Hotsuma will become angry when he knows that Shusei will be late.
Yuki: Excuse me Tsukumo kun, How was the work today? Are there any Duras moves?!
Tsukumo: The work was for finding a missing person, but sorry, I don't know many thing, Shusei have found something, so he left with Takashiro sama without saying anything..
Tachibana: Yuki Kun, the Leader will explain everything after his return
Yuki: Yes..
After a short time the rest left the place, Yuki was unable to hide his concern.
Luka walks near Yuki and said: Are you alright?
Yuki: Yes .. But I just have a bad feeling about that
Luka: It's all right, Yuki, everything will be fine
Yuki: I hope that too ..
"At this time, I was very worried ... I could not figure out why ... But ... I didn't know ... that my feeling was not wrong ..."
Near the deserted mountainous area, Takashiro got out and asked Ibiki to wait in the car, he ordered Shusei to lead him to the place where the body of the missing man.
with more and more slow steps, as if he didn't want to reach the desired place, but he didn't have any choice! He is the only person who can see the exact location and no one else! He was sweats profusely, as he afraid to go there, but he continued his step until he arrived.
Takashiro: What? Here?
Shusei turned to him and said: this place, Takashiro sama.
Takashiro: Hmmm, what do you mean? I don't see anybody here..
Shusei said intermittently: You can see.. A parts of his body scattered here..
Takashiro eyes widened with shock, saying: What?!
He couldn't wait for any answer, but looked at the bottom down to find parts scattered here and there.
Takashiro said, surprised: What is all this! How did this happen?
It was painful and hard to see that, there was silence for some time, they could only feel sorry for this man who was killed in this way, they could know that the Duras alone are killing people with this brutality.
Shusei whispered, saying: Asahi San ...
He felt pain and disappointment because they couldn't find him in time, they couldn't save him ... Shusei used to see similar hurt scenes, but this time the scene was more painful ... He wasn't just someone he had never seen before. .. This man was someone who had spoken with him...
Takashiro: Shusei ... I know that this is too much and it is hard to see, sorry about that ... but we must handle all this.
Shusei answered: yes, sir.
Takashiro: ..There's no doubt.. It's a Duras moving, so we must handle this issue and find the Duras who do that. We can't let them kill more people..
Shusei: Yes..
Takashiro: Also .. We can't let anyone see things like that.. Please put a barrier here.. We'll be back here tomorrow with the research team.
Shusei : Yes, sir …Cut space… lock set..
Takashiro: Well done Shusei, let's go back now..
Shusei was strongly sweating, cannot forget that scene from his head, he was saying inside: I wish.. too .. That I don't see such things... I'm tired of all that..
And suddenly fell to the ground.
Takashiro was surprised by the order, and rushed to Shusei, who fell to the ground, and he put his hand on his head, his temperature was high.
Takashiro sighed and said: They're just kids ... It's definitely hard for them ... Sorry Shusei ...This time, worse than ever before..
Although he was asleep, but he was seeing the scene in his memory all the time, his head was hurting him badly.
Shusei open his eyes, some moments passed until he realizes that he was asleep in the car, then he heard a voice: Ah .. Shusei kun? Are you alright..? We are near the home..
Shusei: Ibik San.. What...?
Ibiki: Takashiro Sama bring you here and asked me to take you home.
He went for some work, he also said that you must rest today, and tomorrow, he would ask your help to look at this issue..
Shusei: But .. I must search now ..
Ibiki: Shusei kun.. You need to rest too.. Then you can work.. It was Takashiro Sama orders..
Shusei couldn't reply, he was thinking that he can't rest before resolved this issue, he can't forget that scene..
Those battles with Duras, they are doing their best to stop them and prevent any others victims!
Ibiki: We have come, please take a rest for now, there is a lot of works in the morning.
Shusei: I understand.. Thanks Ibiki San ..
He came home and walked slowly, and then he heard a voice from behind him.
- Ah, Shusei Kun .. Welcome back..
Shusei smiled and said: Yuki .. I'm back ..
Yuki: It seems the work was hard today .. Can I help you with something?
Shusei: It's Ok..
Yuki: We ate before you, so do you want to eat now? I can help Tooma san to prepare the lunch for you.. And..
Shusei: Thank you Yuki .. But I'm not hungry.. I'm going to rest in my room, see you later..
Yuki: Ah... Yes ..
Shusei continued walking to his room, while Yuki was looking at him with concern.
- Yuki...
Yuki: Ah .. Luka ... You are here?
Luka: You think too much today..
Yuki:No.. I just want to help everyone here.. Both Tsukumo kun and Shusei Kun worked hard today.. But I... Didn't do anything for them..
Luka: You did it Yuki ... Your feelings are enough... And you can help when they need..
Yuki smiles and says: Luka ..
Shusei walked into his room, wondering: Hotsuma not here? I thought he will be asleep on my bed as usual ..
Then he stretched on the bed, he was thinking about what happened today.
Shusei: (How can I rest here after all this?!)
When he closed his eyes he saw that scene in front of him ... Shusei sighed and turned to the other side, he continued thinking before he slept deeply.
In the next morning :
The next day, the place was calm before Hotsuma opened the door of the dining room angrily while the rest were sitting there.
All of them Turned to him.
Yuki: Good morning Hotsuma kun, what's wrong?
Tooma : Ah .. Hotsuma kun , Breakfast is ready …
Hotsuma look at several directions as if he is looking for something and then said: Where is Shusei ?
Tsukumo:Shusei left early today..
Hotsuma: What! I'm going to catch up with him..
Before turning, he was stopped by Tachibana voice.
Tachibana: How to catch him? Do you know where he went?
Hotsuma replied : Of course to School!
Tachibana laughed loudly, making Hotsuma angry.
Hotsuma: What's funny!
Toko : You should ask where he went before you decided to catch up with him!
Hotsuma sat on the chair and hit the table and said: So where did he go?
Tsukumo: Shusei went with Takashiro sama this morning, it seems that they are still working on the issue from yesterday..
Tachibana: Leader said they will continue their investigation today to get some evidence, and he will explain the case for everyone after that.
Hotsuma: Tchi, making Shusei works like this, it seems that there is some Duras moving
.. Yuki says with worried : Duras..?
Hotsuma: It's fine, Yuki.. We will defeat all of them!
Yuki said with concern: Yes...
Hotsuma: Most importantly, did Shusei eat his breakfast before leaving?
Yuki: About that ..
Tooma: Shusei didn't ate anything since yesterday, but he refused to eat breakfast and said he wasn't hungry..
Hotsuma face became sad, he replied calmly: I see ..
It wasn't just Hotsuma, it was both Toko and Tsukumo too, Yuki couldn't understand what they suddenly thought of.
Hotsuma left for school ahead of the others.
After that, Toko, Tsukumo and Yuki went on their way to school too.
Yuki wants to ask Tsukumo and Toko for the matter, but he was hesitant.
Tsukumo said: Are you want to know that?
Yuki : Eh ?
Toko: It's similar to that Yuki Chan
Yuki: Similar..?
Toko: Tsukumo can hear the voices of other people's hearts, hearing their memories, he hears everything sad or happy .. If he heard the happy memories that will make him feel some happiness, if you heard the sad memories, he will feel some sadness too!
Tsukumo: That's right...
Yuki: ... Hear what the rest can not hear ...
Toko: This is Tsukumo power, for Shusei he sees what others can't see!
Yuki: Ah .. Then what happened just before.. It's...?
Toko: This is true, and we all know that Shusei see the painful and cruel things more than other... Especially as Takashiro Sama calls him to look for lost things, some of these are crimes of people killed by criminal means ...
These things make it without appetite.. Seeing the crimes and the victims is difficult for anyone, so no wonder Shusei doesn't have appetite to eat now ..
Tsukumo: If we talk about normal situation, Shusei doesn't have a big appetite to eat, and with what he sees by using his Kami no Me...
Toko: This makes things worse with him ...
Yuki: I see..
Toko: This isn't something new ... And by thinking about that .. Maybe that's what makes him without appetite most of the time..
Yuki: What about you, Tsukumo Kun?
Tsukumo: Hmm.. With all this, I can't say that it's similar to what I hear, I hear good things by myself any time, but Shusei .. Always asked to search for many things, most are bad.. like to see dead bodies...
Yuki: This is really sad.. .. For this Shusei kun can't eat anything from yesterday?
Tsukumo: It's not always because of that, but sometimes it depends on what he sees, and in fact, it seems to me that he saw something terrible yesterday, probably things make him can't even think about eating...
Yuki: But this .. It's bad for Shusei kun health.. Can't we do something for him?
Tsukumo: It's fine Yuki, we all do our best...
Toko: Don't forget Hotsuma, he will not leave Shusei..
- Why I just can't find him! Where is he!
Shusei was thinking, in the office after a major search for the criminal, and getting some existing evidence, but he couldn't find the killer!
With no doubt, the Duras were relevant, but they are always hiding inside the bodies of humans or behind barriers, which makes them invisible!
And this makes the searching for them very difficult! Until they moving again!
Takashiro was reading some papers, he looked to Shusei who was sitting and thinking.
Takashiro said: Shusei.. This is enough for today, you can go to the home..
Shusei: But ...
Takashiro: Enough for today, you was used your power excessively, we will continue tomorrow ..
Shusei: Y-Yes...
Shusei stand from his place and was ready to leave but he was stopped by Takashiro saying: Shusei...
Shusei: Yes..?
Takashiro: Tachibana told me, you didn't eat anything yesterday, and when it was lunch time here, you went out for a while and didn't eat anything ... Don't you see that your face has turned pale again?
Shusei lowered his head a little, he didn't want anyone to talk to him about that... While he remembering that terrible scene that has become suspended in his memory ... He will not think about eating anything ... He can't feel comfortable before he finds the criminal ... It's not the time to think about eating for him ...
Takashiro: Shusei, When you go home, be sure to eat enough food. They all waiting for you...
Shusei : ... I understand ..
Takashiro: Then you can go now .. There is a car waiting outside..
Shusei: Yes, sir..
Takashiro: You can go th school tomorrow, I will call you when I need..
Shusei: Yes, sir..
Shusei left the office, Takashiro sighed and turned to the window.
Takashiro: It seems I scold him too much..
While Shusei sitting in the car, looking at the window.. He was thinking:
To make them care about something like that ... How useless ... I must found him...
Shusei closed his eyes for some time, suddenly saw something made him feel dismayed.
Shusei said quickly: Please, stop the car! There's something important I had to do ..
The driver responded by saying: Yes, I will do that ..
After the driver stopped the car, Shusei rush out of the car, heading somewhere, making the driver asks: Where he is going? Do I have to tell Takashiro about that?
Shusei stood next to an empty, deserted building with no one nearby, on its roof there is a girl.
Shusei said worried: I can't do it in a time! It seems she is trying to kill herself, I
must stop her!
Suddenly, He felt someone in the place, he turned back cautiously.
Shsuei: ( Duras presence ..? Is it..? )
Sometimes Duras lead humans to suicide, by grabbing their bodies and making them crazy.
Shsuei: This is bad! I Should move!
He knows if he is confounded, he can't do anything, so he closed his eyes to focus, using his Kami no Me to move in time to catch the girl who threw herself from above the high building.
It is a hard time!
Shusei screaming, saying: Now!
At the right moment, he grabbed the girl, Shusei breathed deeply, he make this in a right time.
He looked wistful and was wondering: Why she tried to commit suicide?
Has she lost her hope in life? It is sad, to be this result..
The girl looks at seventeens years old, with blonde and long hair, very beautiful girl,
what is behind her?
Shusei is looking to the unconscious girl in his hands, and suddenly, she started to open her eyes.
Shusei said anxiously: Are you alright ? Are you getting hurt in Anywhere?
She was looked at Shusei for some time, before the tears falling from her eyes, then she embraces Shusei with strongly cry!
Shusei surprised at her reaction, then he put his hand on her back, trying to comfort her.
She cried too much, and then she said: I am very scared, I was crying, asking for help, but no one did come to help me .. I think it will be the end .. Thank you for saving me ..
He didn't understand what happened with her, whether she is from attempting suicide, or something else happened.
But Shusei smiled gently said: Everything is fine now .. You are all right .. You must live ..
She wiped her tears, while she says: Yes .. ..
Shusei think while he is looking at her: ( What I must do now? I can't leave her alone in this case, I didn't know what happened... )
He got up from the place and she smiled, said: If you're worried about me, I'm okay now, you can go ..
Shusei : No .. I am not going …
The girl replied: I am fine now, please don't worry about me ..
She smiled to say : I'm not going to throw this life that you saved anywhere, please trust me ..
Shusei: It's good to hear that .. But I will be worrid.. If I can help you..
The girl: t I understand that I am fine now, and that's thanks to you .. Thank you ..
Shusei: You'll be okay ..?
The girl: of course ..
Girl: Of course ..
The light in her eyes, made Shusei smiles and said: Well, then I'll trust you..
He turned to leave, but was stopped by her, saying: Excuse me, can you tell me
your name?
Shusei turned to say: Of course, my name is Shusei Usui..
She said shyly: Shusei ..Then I am Sora ..
He smiled and said: Sora San, nice name suits you, because your eyes are blue like the sky..
His words made her heart beat hard ... That moment that made her body moves on its own. That word made her feel happy,
Sora: Can i ask you something? Next time we meet again.. Just call me Sora..
Shusei: Eh..?
Sora: Please...
He smiled and said: Of course, I had pleasure to meet you, take care of yourself, and we will meet someday ..
He was walking on his way and said: Sora, huh ..
But he suddenly remembered he was late for the driver waiting for him nearby.
He arrived there and found the driver waiting.
Shusei: Sorry to make you wait..
Driver: Ah, it's Ok , but Is everything all right?
Shusei: Yes...
Drive: I didn't know what should I do when you suddenly left, so I inform Takashiro sama about that..
Shusei said with horror: What? You told him about that?
Driver: Yes .. I am sorry, but I couldn't do anything else ..
Shusei: (This isn't good ... They will start with endless questions ... And above that, I'm late from home now ...)
Shusei sighed and said: It's not your fault, we can go quickly now.
The Driver: Definitely
They went to Twilight Mansion.
In Twilight Mansion
Hotsuma was sittings: He has really late this time! Too late!
Toko: You don't have to worry that much Hotsuma! You are speaking the same thing every five minutes!
Yuki: But, he's late.. Shusei kun..
Tachibana entered to say: I have just received a call from the leader now, according to the driver, Shu Kun got out of the car for a while, but he's back now, so don't worry.
Yuki smile and say: Thank God.. He is okay
Hotsuma yelled: What does he do ?! Is this the time to wander around?
Tachibana : This is not a big thing Hotsu...
Tsukumo: He is coming ..
Hotsuma: Finally!
Tachibana : Don't ask him a lot of questions Hotsu, there is something even more important now...
Hotsuma: Tche, I know that!
Hotsuma turned to the other side: (Just what is happening with you! Shusei!)
Then the door opened slowly..
"We were looking at him ... He entered smiling with a faint smile, trying to conceal the the tired on his pale face ... little by little, I feel he isn't feeling well... "
The door opens slowly, all of them turned to the door hand, everyone eager to see who is coming.
- Shusei ...
Hutsuma said loudly: Shusei!
Yuki: Ah .. Shusei kun.. Welcome back..
Shusei looked at them, he was surprised for some reason.
He smiled and said: I'm home ..
Hotsuma steps forward and said: You are too late!
Shusei look to him and smiled, saying : Sorry for late, but you know that there is a work.
Hotsuma: But ...
Tachibana interrupted him: Well, all of you here, I'll tell Ka chan to prepare lunch
Tsukumo: Do you like to take a quick bath together, before the lunch?
Yuki: It is a good idea! and it will be fun all together..
Tsukumo: What about you Shusei?
He smiled and said: Why not? I will come soon. ..
Shusei left the place and was followed by Hotsuma.
Tsukumo turned to Yuki to say: We are also going to prepare ..
Toko: But don't late too much!
Tsukumo: Ok, Toko chan ..
Shusei: I know you will follow me, Hotsuma ..
Hotsuma walked into the room, said : Of course I'll do that. You came out today from the morning without telling me, and you didn't come to school too!
Shusei: The work was important, and that's why Takashiro Sama called me ...
Hotsuma: Yes, I know, they tell me! But I don't care! Even yesterday I didn't see you..
Shusei: Huh ? ..I see…, You weren't in my room yesterday.
Hotsuma: I thought you would need some rest, so I didn't wait in your room so that I will not fall asleep in your bed as usual.
Shusei laughed lightly and said: You are thinking too much for me.
Hotsuma sheepishly confused and said: Of course... I'll do it! That is why I'm really angry..
Shusei smiling: I'm really sorry, but you know, but it is a urgent work.
Hotsuma: Yeah! Yeah... I know...
Shusei sighed.
Hotsuma: Anyway, we want to go shower now, Yuki and the others will be there..
Shusei got up from his place to say: That's right ..
Hotsuma: Then let's go!
Shusei: Yes ..
Hotsuma: (He is okay, isn't right? I think a lot...(
Hotsuma and Shusei arrived in the bathroom, they joined Yuki and Tsukumo.
But Shusei was thinking all the time, they are waiting for the Duras move, he has not found him yet ... And also about the girl he met on his way. Would it be better to tell Takashiro Sama about her? Or maybe he has to make sure she is okay ... He can only be worried as he remembers what happened with him.
There are things that he didn't understand in this matter, he was thinking...
This makes Yuki says with worried: What's wrong Shusei kun? Are you alright?
Shusei smiled and say: Ah .. Nothing, I was just thinking a little bit ..
Tsukumo: Is it about the new case?
Shusei: Yes, it is assumed that Takashiro sama will tell the details to everyone..
Hotsuma: That damned Duras .. Thinking that they made Shusei works for a long time, I will destroy them!
Tsukumo : We will do that together, Hotsuma. Now, let's go out, I thought the Lunch is ready now.
Hotsuma stand to say: Yes, I'm really hungry, let's go ..
Yuki: Yes ..
Hotusma came out of water, then Yuki and Tsukumo, Shusei remained in the water.
There was a sad look on his face, he really doesn't want to eat, but he know he couldn't say that he is not hungry, especially after what Takashiro said to him.
Hotsuma called from him saying: Hey Shusei..? What do you do? Come on hurry up!
Shusei got up from his place to say: I'm coming ..
Shusei: ( What should I do now? I really don't want to eat anything now ... Just thinking about this makes me ...)
Everyone at the table, Tooma puts into them the food dishes, and Aya began serving.
Toko: Hooray .. That smells great.
Tsukumo: Toko Chan, don't forget the diet.
Toko: Yeah, I know Tsukumo.
Yuki: Thanks.
Tooma: I hope you like it.
They began to eat, It is fun to eat meals with others, but Shusei was unable to feel so that at this time, he admits that eating with others is fun, and increases his appetite, but it's different now .. He just feels that he needs more time before he able to forget that scene...
The scene which dug into his memory, he was mixing the food in his dish.
The scene in front of him at that moment, he doesn't feel that he could be eating, where there are a scattered traces of the dead person's body who was killed in horrible way!
Hotsuma and others were eating, but they were looking at Shusei from time to time,
who hasn't eaten anything yet. They didn't say anything, they want to give him
time to be able to eat.
But Hotsuma can't stand any more, he stoped eating and looked at Shusei to say: What's the problem Shusei? You don't eat anything!
Yuki: Shusei kun …?
Shusei who felt that he was in trouble, he unrest , saying: I'm sorry, I was just thinking..
Tsukumo: You don't have to worry and think alone Shusei, we are all fighting together.
Toko: That's right, Shusei.. And we also have our time that we enjoy it together..
Shusei smile and say : I know ..
Hotsuma: Then eat your food now..
Shusei: Uh .. Well...But..
Hotsuma: No, this isn't permitted Shusei! Food is essential !
Shusei: I know, Hotsuma..
Hotsuma: Then, can you eat your food now? I can't eat anything with you like this!
I don't want to hear that you don't have an appetite or something like this! So please eat your food and now!
Shusei!: ( It's worse than I expected ... He is serious... But... I'm not able ... to take a single bite..)
Shusei replied calmly: Ok Hotsuma, it doesn't need all this discomfort.
Toko: I always tell him this, but as usual, idiot Hotsuma!
Hotsuma didn't reply anything, he becomes quiet and looked at Shusei, waiting him to start eating his food.
Shusei: (It is simple, eat ! Just a little ! It's not a big thing...)
Shusei face became strangely sad.
Hotsuma: Shusei ?
Shusei carry some some soup, his hand moving slowly, it is going to be his first bit , but it was very difficult,more than he imagined, it seemed to him as he eats something else! It was very sad, because he will eat while he think and see that scene in front of him!
In the end, Shusei began to eat, seeing this makes others feel comfortable.
They didn't feel the taste of this food he felt.
He ate little without any desire from him, everyone back to eat.
( I wish I had a son like you ...
You're really a good kid ... Shusei ..)
Shusei stopped eating suddenly.
Shusei: ( Asahi San...)
Shusei: Thanks for the meal.
He stands from his place and left his food and rush out of the place, everyone looked to him with astonishment and surprise.
Hotsuma stands from his place to catch Shusei, but he was stopped by Tsukumo voice saying: Wait Hotsuma!
Hotsuma turned to Tsukumo to say: What Tsukumo? What is this "Thanks for the meal"! He didn't eat as it should! I must know what he is thinking!
Tsukumo: It is our fault!
Hotsuma angrily: What?!
Tsukumo: We forced him to eat without his will.
Hotsuma: You say that we should just let him without eat anything! I can't allow that
Tsukumo: I didn't say that too.. Calm down..
Hotsuma: So what? what we have to do?
Tsukumo: We now know that Shusei can't eat the food well, not because of a lack of appetite, but probably because of what he saw, he tried to force himself on it, but he can't do that.. We must know what he saw first..
Hotsuma: How do I know!
Yuki: We should know..
Tsukumo: We will also ask Takashiro sama today.
Hotsuma: Yes, I will make Takashiro say everything about what happens !
Standing in front of the sink, lower his head, the sound of water spilled.
Shusei cruelly blamed himself: (What I have done! How do I act so suddenly and
leave the place! I've messed everything ...But couldn't take it anymore!)
Yuki income saying: Shusei kun? Are you fine?
Shusei turned to say: Yuki ...?
Yuki: Shusei kun ?
Shusei: I apologize for this, I've made you feel concerned... But I'm fine now.
Yuki: Shusei kun .. You don't have to carry the whole thing on your own. Maybe I always apologize, when I make someone worry about me, but it also makes me feel
relieved, there are those who care about me and feel me ..
Shusei: Eh?
Yuki: The feeling that I don't carry the burden alone! Everyone is by my side makes me feel better. For this, please let us know what happened? We are worried about you .. Shusei kun … You hide something?
Shusei: Yuki .. I didn't hide anything... But it is something I can't deal with my own will, I just do my best to exceeding it.
Yuki: I can't understand ... your appetite ...
Shusei: I just don't feel that I have a desire to eat, and I've forced myself to it, this felt me uncomfortable ..It's just that.
Yuki: Is that so?
Shusei: Yeah.. So please don't worry about me anymore.. I'll be fine ..
Yuki: But is it really okay ? I mean ..
Shsuei: Yuki, It's okay, today I don't feel a desire to eat all day, this is not merely something to worry. Tomorrow everything will be fine ..
The last sentence said in a low voice and Shusei went on the way to his room
Yuki: Shusei kun ...
"Shusei Kun went to his room ... But ... For me ... The shadow trailing behind him seems pretty sad.."
- What ?! Shusei went to sleep !
The angry Voice of Hotsuma after hearing Yuki says Shusei went to his room to sleep
Yuki: Y...Yes ...
Hotsuma: I really must go to understand what happens with him!
Tsukumo: Hotsuma Wait, let him rest, he probably needs some rest, Shusei works hard these days..
Hotsuma: No .. I know there's something else!
Yuki: He said he doesn't feel he can eat today .. But it would be okay for tomorrow.
Hotsuma: This is what he says, but tomorrow will say the same thing.. I know him!
Toko: This isn't strange for Shusei, most of the time he has little appetite .. I really want to help him ..
"Everyone is worried, but they can't do anythin"
They sat with serious faces and silence ..
In the evening
Everyone except Shusei are here, waiting for the meeting with Takashiro about the new issue.
Takashiro entered the place and everyone looked to him.
Takashiro looked at them and said: It is usually, Shusei isn't here .. Didn't he know about the meeting today?
Hotsuma: He is asleep, I went to his room shortly before and was deeply asleep, it seems that he gets tired in these days!
Takashiro: .. This is right, I made Shusei uses his ability Kami no Me a lot , it isn't strange to feel tired, but we don't have any choice in this situation.
Hotsuma: Then what this new issue? I want to know Shusei works during the previous two days!
Takashiro: Let me explain the case for all. Initially we received a work to find a lost person hasn't been found three days ago.
Toko: From three days?
Takashiro: Yes. Our mission was to search for him without knowing if it's linked or not with Duras, so Tsukumo and Shusei search for the missing person..
Tsukumo: Yes, but I couldn't hear or feel his presence.
Takashiro: That's right, Shusei able to see by his eye, but unfortunately this man was already dead..
Yuki: Dead..?
Takashiro:: we still don't know how, but it's undoubtedly linked with Duras
Hotsuma: How to be sure?
Takashiro: Because of the way he died, it is impossible to be an act of humanity, I
can only say that..
Tsukumo: Takashiro sama .. For this matter we want to know how this man died, Shushi acting strangely since he saw that by his Kami no Me, he didn't eat a lot, and was busy thinking all the time..
Hotsuma: We at least have to know the reason for this by knowing how the man died
Yuki: What about that, Takashiro San?
Takashiro: I can't blame Shusei, I bet that your reaction will be like Shusei if you had seen his body, the man was killed in a pretty awful way, all his parts were scattered and cut, he died, but because of Duras for no doubt..
Their eyes widened, and their faces have become sad, how painful it is that human are killed by Duras without pity ..
Hotsuma: Let me see what Shusei saw!
Tsukumo: Me too... But of course Toko chan, you don't have to see something like this..
Toko: That's right, I can't.. Definitely..
Yuki: Me too! Please let me see him..
Luka: Yuki .. You don't have to see ..
Yuki: But I don't want Shusei to carry the burden alone!
Takashiro: I can't allow anyone to see him, so I asked Shusei put a barrier in that place, so no one can see that.
Hotsuma: Why can't !
Takashiro: This isn't an offer! The person died in a horrible way, and we will collect the body parts and bury them, it isn't something that people should see!
Hotsuma: I did not mean this! If he is bothered by what he saw, it is not fair to act as nothing happened! we also part of this work!
Takashiro: There is no need to speak like that, Hotsuma ... We still need to find the culprit as soon as possible, and in any case the scene is cruel to children like you ... You will vomit!
Hotsuma angrily: What? Do you think I'm a weak girl like Toko!
Toko: What did you say ? Stupid Hotsuma!
Tachibana: They begin again..Then what should we do, Leader ?
Takashiro: We were able to identify some of the areas, likely to be able to find the evidence, places usually visited by the victim, maybe we can find something that tells us about Duras movement.
- Yes.
Takashiro: Senshirou and Kuroto will return within days, So we will have more people to help, but now Tsukumo and Toko .. Tomorrow you have a work, by using Tsukumo Kami no Mim, you have to listen to the memories of the people there, we may get some hints..
Tsukumo and Toko: Yes, sir..
Takashiro: I will give you the details and places in tomorrow.
Takashiro: And everyone else, the investigation is still ongoing and the search for evidence, everyone should beware enough, now the Duras returned to move, especially Yuki you should be careful.
Yuki: Yes.. I understand ...
Takashiro: That's all we have today..
- Let me live ! I want to live !
That's what that girl was screaming, Shusei looks at her from afar.
Suddenly, sound of an explosion, and blinding light, the whole of the place where the girl was standing. Shusei's eyes widened, but all his body can't move ..
Just seconds to show that the girl turned to shreds!
It's like a scene of that man, the body that shouldn't be seen by anyone!
- Noooooo!
Shusei suddenly got up from his bed in horror, breathing quickly, and sweated a lot, it was terrifying nightmare!
He saw the previous scene, which cannot forget all the time, but this time it sees another person becomes on the same scene.
The girl who met her...
Shusei looked at the clock beside him, it's referring to two after midnight
Shusei: Dream..? That girl ... Huh...
Notes:
This is a rewrite of the novel I published to modify some grammatical mistakes I find.
Note: The speech between " " for the narrator who is Yuki.
The speech between ( ) means that the character speaks within his mind.
The story will focus on Shusei and the other characters.
The story will be combat, action, ambiguous, as well as psychological.
