This is based off the anime "Another" that stated airing this year. It's really very good, and I am basing this on the things featured in episode 5, and also what is hinted at in the previews of episode 6.

The lines alternate between Kouichi and Mei…but I'm not going to make it obvious when I do that. There is a reason 4 that, which will be explained at the end of this one-shot. That, and the fact it makes for a more interesting story

Enjoy, and please leave feedback.

What's wrong?

You know what's going on, and it's to do with 26 years ago…

…No one will tell you…?

26 years ago, there was a girl, Misaki, an honours student who was good at sports too. She was kind to everyone, and so both students and teachers loved her.

Then, in ninth grade, she died. Died a cruel and irrational death.

The class, devastated by this, decided to carry on as normal, as though she was still there. Right up until they graduated. Then she appeared in their graduation photo

That's the part of the story I know. Yet it doesn't end there, does it?

It doesn't end there.

Then the next year, the class was a chair short- though they had prepared enough for everyone.

Meaning that there was one extra.

And that's when people connected to the class started dying. One class member and one family member each month for that year.

Because one person was dead.

Who is dead?

Who is dead?

Its something no one knows. Not even that person. They don't realise it , but they are dead.

So it could be me, or you.

Maybe. But until it's discovered, people will keep dying…

Sakuragi-san…Takayabashi-san…Mizuno-san…

The deaths of May, and June.

Will it end? How many more frie…classmates will I lose? How many?

Until you came, they had a solution.

Treat one member of the class like they did not exist. Therefore, the class was back to normal numbers, and for another year, the deaths were prevented.

This year then…that person was you.

Yes. But then, two months ago there comes you. A new student in the cursed class 3. Told to uphold the rules…but not what those rules are.

If you had been told…..it was a costly mistake, not telling you.

Which is why they are now ignoring save themselves?

Yes. If you don't exist, and I don't exist, then the class is back to its normal numbers.

Futari

One and the same now.

Both of us, things to not be messed with, because we don't exist.

Non-existence…together…

FINISHED!

It's a bit abstract, but the whole point is that the lines in italics are the bits that are basically both of them, so I didn't really have a way of differing between them in the rest of this rather abstract piece. Futari means "face to face" or "the two of us." In this context though, I'd go with the Latter. (("Futari" is also the name of episode 6.))

Oh, and I'm not too clear whether the dead Misaki is a him or her. So if I turn out to be wrong, Sorry =P

Hope u enjoyed
