A new chapter! I pretty sure you all know what happened after the festival how they did the charm. So I just got right into the Intense part! Hope you guys enjoy!
Naomi's POV
I woke up from the fall, slowly getting up, I scanned the room I was in while I adjusted to the dark. I saw desks scattered and the floor was pretty much damaged. "I I been here...?" I recognized this place before, it felt as if I been here multiple times. What was it called? I thought for a minute but immediately remembered about Seiko! She was holding onto me when we fell, where was she?
I looked around and once I fully adjusted to the dark, I saw a feminine figure, immidiately getting and trying to head towards Seiko. That was ended quickly when I felt a sharp pain in my ankle, making me land on my hands. "Ow...my ankle...?" I looked at my foot, it must've twisted or something when I fell. I ignored the pain as much as I can and finally reached Seiko sitting her up, checking if she was okay.
I felt her breath, thank God. I waited for her to wake up which I hoped was soon since it was getting creepy in the dark. I gently started stroking her hair, smiling of how peaceful she looked. Reminded me of the sleepover when I has awoken up, the only difference was that she was wearing her uniform and she had her curls. I think it was the first time I had seen her with her hair down. For me personally, she looked a lot cuter with hair down but I can't tell anything since she bugs me about cutting my hair.
After awhile, I got lost into my own world forgetting about the creepy, dark school I was in, I just focused on her, Seiko. For a moment, I actually pictured us being at a cliff, seeing the ocean from far away. While she laid on my lap, sleeping peacefully but that was until I saw Seiko's eyes opening, "N-Naomi?" She sat up studying the classroom we were in like when I awoke.
"This...isn't our class...?" I decided to stand up and lent a hand towards Seiko, but she was looking at something what looked like past me, nurvously, I turned around waiting for a ghost or someone to be there but there was no one, "Seiko? Wha-ahh!" There was the groping right when I talked, she wasn't staring at anything in the classroom, she had her attention what was under me. "Really Seiko..." I asked but tried very hard not to smile, I don't know what it was but it felt like I needed to get closer to her. "Sorry Naomi but I just couldn't help myself, plus you were the one that turned around!" She showed her devilish grin which finaly caused me to let out my joy, freeing a chuckle. "Heh...we should get going, maybe the window will help since I'm not seeing any other exit..."
Seiko got to the window first and tugged, nothing. "Let's see if I can do it..." I grabbed onto the window pane and made sure I got a grip, "alright..." I whispered to myself, I prepared and pulled! Nothing. "Here, let's see if we can do it with both of weight combined..." I felt her arms wrap around my waist and pull. While blushing and finally realizing she was pulling, I started pulling. Nothing still. We departed and sighed, "well looks like we're looking for the exit?" I said, walking towards the classroom exit hearing Seiko's footsteps. She caught up eventually while we searched. "Naomi?" I stopped and turned my attention to her, "Whats wrong Seiko?" I noticed she had spotted something, "your ankle...your limping..." I just remembered but the pain mysteriously went away but there was still a soreness. "Uh yeah, I guess I sprained it when we fell through the floor, it doesn't hu-" Seiko's mother instincts came into action interrupting me, "it probably doesn't hurt but I can I take care of it! Come on, I'll carry you and we'll look for an infirmary or something!" I felt my body adjust while I Was surprisingly easily lifted up by Seiko. "Se-Seiko! You do-" immediately I was cut off again, "No your injured and you can't be putting anymore weight on it!" I stayed quiet for her while she carried me. I started dozing off for an unknown reason until I saw brigh light flash!
"Alright! I'll look for some supplies, hopefully some are here." I didn't even realize Seiko had set me down on a infirmary bed, I watched as she frantically searched for supplies. After hearing cabinets open and laying down silently, Seiko finally came over with bandages and other stuff. "Alright! Can you sit up for me?" I obeyed and sat up, seeing Seiko sitting at the edge of the bed, doing her work on my foot. "So...how do you learn to do this?" I asked, curious since I never saw her in any Medical Classes. "My dad showed me, just in case I ever got hurt or the little kiddos did! I hope they're pkay without their big sister..." I noticed the sadness and knew she was missing them, so I tried my hardest to comfort her, "hey come on! I'm sure they're alright! I mean, they learned from the best? Am I right?" I heard a chuckle come out of her and knew I was succesful. "Heh guess your right. Thy do learn and I have to worry about someone else, you..."
After she finished wrapping my ankle up, we laid down while I pulled out my paper scrap. Inspecting the thing, what great luck this was. I decided to adjust to the side and shut my eyes, eventually I heard Seiko snore meaning she dozed off. I decided after awhile to look at her, watch her as if I looked away, she would be gone. "Ugh...!" I felt a sharp pain in my head, holding my head while shutting my eyes. "Oooow...!" I whispered to myself not to concern Seiko but then a cracking sound was heard, did my head just...? I didnt dare open my eyes, but instead I fainted from the pain.
I awoke seeing us all in a circle, around what looked like a...corpse!? It was a little girl, in a torn dress, "Sachiko we beg of you..." I heard next to me, it was Mochida, suddenly my mouth opened, "Sachiko we beg of you..." I jumped from the automatic response. I searched around and noticed someone gone, the person I cared for the most, Seiko..."wheres...?" I searched and saw her standing in the corner of the room, she was sitting down and covering her eyes? Was she crying? I tried to walk towards her but nothing happened, I stood right where I was. Suddenly my arm reached out and we all put our pieces of the charm together, seeing a white flash, we were in our class except for Seiko. "Is everyone alright...?" I finally had control over my body, my voice, and finally realizing we left Seiko, I dropped. Feeling tears pouring out, "why...why...why!" I grabbed my hair, screaming. I didn't care if everyone was around me. Seiko's gone. We left her just to rot there! "Se-Seiko...!" I felt Kishinuma's and Mochida's presence, trying to comfort me, made it worse for me. "Seiko! Why do-did we leave her!" I cried and cried but finally ran out of tears and looked at Mochida, "she wanted to stay, she's destined to die there Naomi..." I felt the anger boil up, slowly getting up, my whiny side came.
"Don't you call me by my first name! You will never call me by that way! Only Seiko can! She was the one I loved and the only one I'll ever love! She done so much more to protect me than you! You couldn't save her! Anyways..." I finally calmed down and prepared the last sentence I was going to spit out, "I'll never love you how I love Seiko..." I let out a full breath of air, I looked at Mochida who was in shock. Suddenly after the quietness, he was laughing, "She can never leave, never. She will stay there forever. Now Naomi...come here..." I felt weak and started to black out, I was dying.
I shot up in bed, frantically looking around for Seiko, seeing her immediately scramble up. I hugged her as tight as I can. I sobbed slowly into her chest, while she comforted me, "shh...It's okay...it was just a dream..." After awhile of crying and sniffling, I raised my head away from her. She les me to lay down on her lap, obeying, I laid down feeling actually safe. "It's okay Naomi...do you wanna talk about it...?" I sniffled feeling my nose runny. I looked up to face her and replied, "can we talk about it after...you know...leave...?" Seiko nodded and I closed my eyes, feeling like I got closer to Seiko, this moment, how we were, it all felt perfect. I dozed off not able to resist the safety I was ensured by Seiko. Before sleeping, I heard her soft voice, "Love you..."
A/N-Alright so next chapters, plural, will be intense. This will actually be Naomi trying to avoid Seiko's Fate. I will also include the other people in the next chapter so it'll finally stop being so romantic and more adventurous! Hope you enjoyed and leave a review if you want! :)
