Lost World
One minute, Mr. Takashi was about to passing out the test. "As I pass out the test, you ma-" And next minute he was gone. There. Gone. No "poof". No flash of light or anything. Just disappear in thin air. The test papers that he was holding to passed out dropped and hit the floor with a loud thud causing some of the papers spread around.
Ken widened his eyes in shocked. "What the hell." Ken is not the only one who saw it, everyone were widened their eyes as they stared hard at the place Mr. Takashi been.
"Ken, did you see that?" Rei said with terrified face.
He turned to him and said. "Yeah I did, he just poof." He tried to find the explanation of their teacher disappearance.
Everyone in his class are looking around, craning their necks this way and that, trying to figure out what's happened. Everyone was scared and terrified, but some were think Mr. Takashi doing the pranks on them.
Mae doesn't scare, but just stare, widened in shocked.
Jinn tapped on his shoulder as he turns to him. "Dude, what happened to Mr. Takashi?"
Ken shook his head. "I had no idea, man, no idea." He said in disbelief.
"What the hell, where's Johnny?" The black kid yelled.
Heads turned to look.
"Is he supposed to be here?" Jinn said.
"Yes he was, but then suddenly he's gone." He said terrified. "Just like Mr. Takashi."
Everyone look at each other, they had no idea what has happened.
"Huh, what happened to Benjamin, he was there before?" A Scottish Boy said.
The girl with green hair screamed. "Mizuki, where are you, Mizuki?" She shrieked.
"What's going on? Where's my best friend?" Ayane said, scared.
Ken sat up from the seat and scanning around the room. He noticed that 8 of his classmates disappeared like his teacher was. He starts to get worry about this situation of his teacher and 6 of his classmates gone. Something's going on, how did they disappeared, I mean, that's way impossible. He thought.
"Ken, I'm scared" Lexa said, look up at him and tears on her eyes fall.
"I know Lexa; I just hope this some kind of joke." He said, heavily breath. He never been terrified in his life and couldn't stop panicked in this situation.
The door to the hallway slid open. Every eye locked on it, they thought Mr. Takashi going to step in with 8 of his classmates, and explain how he had pulled off this magic trick and back to pass out the test. But it's wasn't him, it was Rei older twin sister, Nami with a terrified face and look around.
"Rei, where are you?" She called out.
Rei turned his head to her, sat up from his seat and stood there as he stared at her. "Nami, is something wrong?" He said with worry looks.
She saw him in surprised. Her tears dropped to her cheeks and smiles as she running towards him. "Rei" She threw her into him, hugging and holding onto him as though he was going to leave again and she wanted to keep him there in any way possible. "Rei, I'm glad you're still here." She was sobbing.
Rei stare at her before he gave her smiled and patting her head. "It's okay, I'm here and why are you crying?"
She looks up on him with tear on her eyes. "I thought my classmates and I were the only one in this school but I'm not."
Ken heard the "Only one" makes him look at her as he walking towards the twins and asked. "What do you mean by "only one", Nami?"
Nami turns to him. "You see, in my class, my teacher and 9 of my classmates are gone."
Ken raises his eyes. "Wait you mean, you too."
"What do you mean you too?" Nami said.
"Because my teacher and 8 of my classmates also gone too. I say gone I mean, poof." Ken said.
"What," Nami said.
"Listen guys, there's something wrong here that couldn't put my finger on. I mean…" Before Ken could finish the sentence, a sound of the loud tires screech and a crash from the window, as they all turned. "What was that?" He asked.
They rushed to the window and look out in the window. At the school entrance, a car, a Honda Civic, was overturned when it smashed through the school gates, leaving it open. Everyone stared in shocked, including Ken and his friends.
"Holy crap, did you see that?" A boy with spiky blue hair said. They all nodded and continue staring.
Then they heard the sound of turbine coming from top of their head. They raised their heads up and saw was more shocking. The plane, DC-9, was plummet toward the ground at 30 degree angle. The plane crashed into residential district, almost close to Ken and His childhood friend house, exploding in fireball and causing the ground shakes. Everyone widened their eyes and mouth in horror.
"Oh my god" Ken whispered in shocked. He noticed the sound. More than one, distant sound of cars and trucks collided, car alarms and more alarms and a pillar of smokes, coming from the streets of Katsu.
"Guys, is it just me or the snowflakes we saw is gone?" Jinn was right, the snowflakes they saw is falling before there's a lot, but now, the snowflakes disappeared, not even a little. Jinn gasped. "Ming!" He ran through the door and to the hallway, followed by his twin sister, Mae.
Ken stared hard outside at the pillars of smoke from the city. He heavily breathes in terrified and his entire bodies shivers. "What the hell is happening? Is this how the world ends?" He worried.
THUD! Hands, Jacob and everyone in class E looks up as the test hit the floor. Their teacher, Ms. Akutagawa, wasn't there, including 15 of their classmates. Everyone was shock and scared, except Hands, he was blank stared in disbelief and he thinks it's just a trick to make believe. He stood up from his chair and walked to the front of the class to check.
"Hey Hands, what are you doing?" Jacob asked.
"Checking to see if she makes a tricked and fooled us." He said bluntly as he smirked. He looks around the desk and under. He raising his brows that his teacher isn't there. He went to the door, slide it opened and stuck out his head in the hallways. He look left, down towards class F, all of them suddenly burst out into the hallway and looked around. "What the bloody hell." He stuck his head in and looked at Jacob.
"So, did you find her and 15 of our classmates?" Jacob asked.
Hands shook his head. "No, they really are gone and from the looks at the next to our class, class F has also the same reason too."
Jacob looked at him in confused. "What?"
Hands shrugged. "Who knows what happened?" He took a sighed. "Something isn't right? And I don't like it." He heard the explosion, far away.
"So what should we do?" Jacob asked again.
First floor of the school, class A, Jin Yagi and her classmates stare hard at the place where her teacher been.
Jin was an eighth grader and she was almost 14 years old. She has long, flowing, waist pink hair with a rabbit clip on the left side of her head, blue eye and a quite buxom with two large breasts. She is the smartest or genius girl in her eighth grade class. She was gentle and well-behave. She moves to this island 2 years ago to start a new life.
She was scared when her teacher was about to passing out the test and then gone. She never been terrified in her whole life than the spider she had. What just happened? She thought.
She heard the screamed behind her was purple hair girl and causing everyone in her class panicking, except one girl, Ming, who was shaken in afraid.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Someone yelled.
"Is this some kind of joke or something?"
"I'm scared man, I'm scared."
"What happened to our teacher?"
"Please tell me this is a dream?"
Everyone knocked each other about as they tried to figuring out what happened to their teacher and what in all is going on. Many of the girls were crying, screaming or shuddering in their seat as they tried to figure out what was going on.
The door flung slide open, and Jinn appeared, eyes wide. "Ming, are you there?" Behind him was his twin sister, Mae.
"Jinn, Mae." Ming got out of her seat, ran toward them and hugging them tightly as she cries. "My… my teacher is gone and I don't know what's going on."
Jinn look at her. "Well Ming, teacher's not the only one they are gone, 8 of my classmates was also gone too."
Ming widened in shocked. "What, Mae, is he telling a truth?"
Mae nodded and she finally spoke. "He's telling the truth, their gone like yours."
Jin stood up from her seat and walks towards them. "Excuse me."
Jinn look at her. "Hmm… and who might you be?"
"I'm Jin, Jin Yagi; please tell me what's going on?" She said.
Yuka Kagawa was in her bedroom on the second floor of her and her older sister, Ayane, house. She was on her bed with a cold towel on her forehead because she has a slight fever and she almost burning up. Her mom walks through the door and sitting on the side of her bed.
"Yuka, how was it going?" She said, take the towel out of her forehead and put her hand on it to feel it.
Yuka open her eyes. "I'm good Mommy; I think my fever is going down." She smiled.
Her mom smiles back. "Well I'm glad sweetie; your fever's almost gone. And tomorrow, you're as new a-"
The towel dropped to the floor. She quickly sat up and looking around wildly, breathing heavily.
"Mom? Mom?!" She yelled desperately. She got out of her bed, run towards the staircase to the first floor. As she reached, she heading to the dining room, where her dad usually was, and finds her dad was not there.
"Dad?" She was terrified.
She then heard something loud coming from the outside. She opens the front door as she ran outside to see where the noise comes from. When she looked up from behind her and her house, she stared in widened. The plane was diving and look like it coming right towards her. But the plane crashed almost but not close to her house and sound of the boom goes off as the ground was shaking. She sees the fireball come up to the sky as she covered her mouth by her hand in terror.
"Rei, call the fire department, call the doctor, call everyone, and hurry." Ken said, desperately.
Rei nodded. "Okay, I'm on it." He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, pressing the keypad by his thumb and held it to his ear. Then his eyes turned widened as he held his phone down and look at it. "There's nobody. Nobody's picking up the phone."
Ken was shocked. "What, it can't be, maybe you cell phone is old, let me try mine." He pulled his cell phone, punching the keypad, and listened. But then he heard nothing, just nothing. "What the hell, there's no dial." He panicked. He checks the signal.
"I don't understand, my phone have four bars." Ken said.
"Four, mines have three bars." Rei said.
Ken turned and looked at Lexa, who still stared at the place where the teacher was. "Lexa"
Lexa snapped out of it and look at him. "Yes, Ken?"
"Well, me and Rei can't get any help, try you're phone." He said, desperately.
She looked at him confused. "Okay." She pulled out her cell phone from her bag, flipped open the lid, dialing a number and held it to her ears to listen. "Ken…" She pulled her phone away from her ear with her eyes widened in fear. "I can't get anything."
"What, mine's not working, Rei's not working, and even Lexa's not working also. I hate to say this but I think everyone's phone has it too." He said, confusing.
"Wait, even me too." Nami said.
Ken nodded. "That's what I said; everyone has no call or getting any connection for any help or their parents or relatives too." He took a deep sighed.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?"
Everyone turns around and looked at the long black hair boy who was on his laptop, Vaio by Sony, widened eyes and breathe heavily. He punches the mouse button many times, desperately.
"I can't get on the internet," He said as he tried to refresh by clicked on it but nothing happened. "What is wrong with this? My laptop always worked from wherever I go, but now it's not working anymore."
Ken started to get more and more confused on the situation of teachers and some of kid's disappearance, phone's not working and no internet on the laptops or maybe the television too. He needs to find out what happen to this school or worse, the entire island. He turns his head to Rei and Nami. "Rei and Nami, I want you to check on the third floor to see if everyone's okay and meet me at the rooftop."
They looked at him, confused. "Huh? Why?" Rei asked.
"Just do it!" He said as Rei and Nami took off running to the door and through the hallway.
Ken looked at Ayane. "Ayane, check every class on this floor and checks the clubs too."
"Oh, okay." She replied as she ran in the hallway.
Ken was about to run out of the classroom when Lexa stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "Ken, Why the rooftop?"
Ken looked at her eyes. "Because there's no why my phone was out of service, maybe I go up there and get connection." He pulled his wrist away as he raced to the rooftop. He went into the hallway. As he enters the hallway, he could see a lot of kids from class B in a hallway, looking around. "Get out the way, get out the way." He shouted at them as the kids back up against the wall to let him through it. He ran up to the staircase, past the third floor and to the top floor with the door that leads to the rooftop.
He opened the door as he pushed. He looked around the rooftop and saw was empty.
"Ken, is that you?"
He perks his head up when he recognize the voice. He turns and saw a pink hair girl with 2 ponytails with big red bows sat on the edge of the handrail. "Chi"
Her name was Chiyo Shuzen but her nickname was Chi or Chiyo. She's 13 years old and a 7th grade. She described herself as beautiful or hot. She was energetic and kind if she gets to know someone like Ken. She is a tech expert; she got her first computer when she was four and developed her high skills in IT through it. Ken remembers her word was "I'm a geek, deal with it. A freaking hot geek too!" which makes his face smirk. Although she was very attractive, but everyone doesn't know that she was a lesbian. She tried to tell everyone and her friends but she was afraid of her sexuality. She thinks nobody accepts her as lesbian and she has a deep hatred for people who are against her sexuality or Ken calls it homophobic against her.
Ken remembers the day he met her.
Months ago… November 10
He walked up to the rooftop for a place to eat his food during lunch time where his friend was. As he reached to the rooftop, find the rooftop is empty. "Huh, I guess there not here." He said to himself. He suddenly heard the sobbing from his left; he turns and saw a pink hair girl sitting on a ground with her knee to her chest and covered her face with her hands as she was cry. He walked towards her and looked down at her.
"Hey, are you alright?"
She pulled her hands away from her face, look up to him with a smile on his face and turned her head away. "Go away please."
He just looked at her with a questionable look on his face. "Eh? Why?"
"Just go, you just don't accept me of who I am. Besides, you don't care about me." She said, not looking at him. "What do you want?" she demanded.
"Well, every day during the lunch time, my friends and I always go to the rooftop where we hang out. Since there not here, I saw you crying and maybe a talk won't hurt." He explained.
"How about YOU JUST GO AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed in anger.
Ken closed his eyes and took a sighed. "Just tell me one reason why I don't accept you of who you are or whatever." He asked.
She was silent for a brief moment and then, "I'm a lesbian."
He raised his eyes in shocking. "What did you say? You're a lesbian as a homosexual?"
She turned her head and look up at him with tears on her face. "Yes. I. Am. A. Lesbian, don't you understand." Then there's a silence. After she came out to Ken, there's was awkward around them. She gets up from the ground after the three minutes of silence. "See, that's the reaction I was talking about. I hate people who was against my sexuality and you just like them, I'm out of here, you gay hater." She walked around him and away from him.
Ken snapped out of it, turned and grabbed her by her wrist. "Wait…"
She tried to let go of him but he gripped her wrist tightly. "WHAT?" She turned to him and still trying to let go.
"Listen, I don't care what people say to you, but I was surprised about you came out and I'm happy about it." He said as he's smiles.
She stopped and widened her eyes at him. "You really mean it, your accept me."
He nodded. "Yep, I don't care if you're gay or what, you are you and I'm not against everyone sexuality." He grabbed her shoulder to pull into him and give her a hug. "Thanks for telling me, I'm proud of you."
"I… thank you" She said, still sobbing. "I'm really happy for you accept me of who I am." She put her face on his chest and crying there. As she stopped crying for 30 seconds, she looked up from his chest and asked. "Excuse me, what's your name again?"
"Oh, I'm Kenta, Kenta Kaminari but everyone calls me Ken for short. I'm a 9th grader" He introduced himself.
She turns to smiles. "Nice to meet you Ken, I'm Chiyo Shuzen, you can call me Chi or Chiyo. I'm a 7th grader."
"So you're a new kid, Chi?" Ken asked.
"Yeah, you could say that." She replied.
Ken then got an idea when he feels the light bulb above his head light up. "Hey Chi, how about we pretend we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Um… I don't know, because I have no interest with you."
"No, no, no, just pretend, that way no one bothered you and they see us like a couple, Okay."
Chi was thinking. "Sure I guess."
Ken smiles and he shakes his head. "And one more thing before I'm heading downstairs."
"Sure, what is it?"
Ken leaned closer to her ear and he whispered. "I'm bi"
Chi widened her eyes in shock and back away. "Eh? You like guys and girls?"
He nodded. "Yep." He grinned as he chuckles.
Back to present
"Ken, I saw a plane crash and the snowflakes has stop, what's going on?" Chi said as she worried.
Ken shrugged. "I don't know but I do know that my teacher and 8 of my classmates are gone."
Chi widened her eyes in shocks. "What? How did they disappear?"
"I don't know Chi, I don't know." He pulled out his cell phone and punched the keypad. "Come on, please work." He held to his ear to listening. "What, you kidding me, even the rooftop?" He yelled.
Chi looked at him, confused. "Ken, what are you doing?"
Ken looked at her. "I try to get a signal from my phone, but I can't get anything and even everyone else too."
She gasped. "I can't believe this." She kneeled to the ground. "Is this how the world gonna end?"
"I hope not." He shook his head.
After 3 minutes of wait, Rei and his older sister, Nami, Ayane, Jinn, Mae, Ming, Lexa and a pink hair girl coming out of the door and ran towards him as they stopped.
"So Jinn, is Ming okay?" Ken asked.
Jinn nodded. "Yeah, I'm glad she's okay. Oh and her teacher's gone."
"That's right; it's weird that kids on the first floor didn't disappear like ours, only the teachers." Mae said.
"Okay, that's weird and who are you?" He said to the pink hair girl.
"I'm Jin, Jin Yagi, I'm an 8th grader." She introduced herself.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Jin and want you guys meet Chi." He introduced to her and he turns to Ayane. "What about you, Ayane?"
"Well, I went to every class and see some of them were gone and some were still there." Ayane said.
"What about clubs?" Ken asked.
"All of them still there."
Ken ran his hand through his hair, beside himself with frustration and a relief. He took a sighed and looks at the twins. "Is everyone okay on the third floor, Rei and Nami?"
"Ken, you won't believe it, we check every class, but inside in every class…" Rei paused.
"Everyone on the third floor just disappeared." Nami picked up where her brother left off.
Ken widened his eyes in shocked. "What? All of them, not even a little?"
The twins looked at each other and look at him back as they shake their head. "No."
Ken frowned. What the hell is going on? Teachers, some of the kids, cell phones, internet, maybe cable or broadcast, even snowflakes, all gone at the same time? He thought as his body was shaking hard. He thought of something, he may be an idiot but he's still a smart one, as his brain was puzzled together and he found an answer. "Rei, tell me how old was Johnny is?"
Rei gives him a confused on his face. "Um… he turned fifteen two days ago, why?"
"Don't you get it, 8 of our classmates were fifteen and on the third floor were older than us."
"So? What does it mean?" Jin said.
"Yeah man, what does it mean? Jinn said.
Ken took a sighed as he sat on the edge of the handrails and crossed his arm and said. "I'm saying that everyone fifteen and over just… just disappeared. Blink and they were gone."
They were all stunned at what he just said and speechless. Ken turned his head around and his friends look at the city with pillars of smoke. Natushita Island becomes a lost world.
