Chapter 4
To save you
Watanuki sat up in his bed looking around, suddenly he felt a pain in his chest as memories of yesterday flooded through his mind like they were on a loop.
Black smoke clouding his vision, and filling his lungs their voices seemed distant. "Maru!" he called his voice raspy barely coming out of his throat. "Moro!" coughing hard, wheezing he chest seemed to be closing up. "Ma...ru" he manged to squeak out. When finally managed to reached them their bodies laid lifeless and empty merely shells.
"Were all sorry." Yuko-san's words a knife to his heart.
He got up and dragged himself to the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror.
"You're life is falling apart...you're hurting people Kimihiro." he said to his solemn reflection
He continued with his morning ritual, he almost didn't want to make lunch but he knew Doumeki-kun would have something smart to say if he didn't. So he packed up the finished meal and packed the bento box up. He let out a sigh and headed out the door. He kept walking slowly towards his school,his heart sank when he watched as Himawari-chan walked pass him without so much as a was falling to pieces and Watanuki so desperately wanted to put it back together, to stop this despair he was cycling into. He wanted to call to her so badly but then he didn't even have the will. He was just depressed. The first half of the day went relatively quick and he found himself actually looking forward to lunch he had tried a new recipe and he hoped that Doumeki-kun would like it. Lunchtime came and he sat down at their normal spot waiting for Doumeki. the boy came over and sat down calmly reaching for the bento box.
"I don't have practice today, you want to walk home?" he said picking up a mouthful of food
"Yeah sure..." said Watanuki a little drier than he intended but he couldn't hide his sadness.
"You're not acting like yourself." he said flatly taking another mouthful.
"I'm screwing up everything, Himawari-chan hates me, Maru and Moro lost their souls and your my only friend." he said the last part as if he were complaining but he didn't mean that, again with his mouth.
"So the thing with Maru and Moro, this is new, can we do anything?"
"I'm not sure...I could ask Yuko-san but I doubt she would help."
"We can look it up in my library, there should be something there."
Watanuki nodded "Good idea."
Doumeki nodded in agreement. "Meet me here after school and we can walk over to the temple, alright?"
Watanuki smiled "Thanks Doumeki-kun."
He nodded, and put down his chopsticks. "See ya."
Watanuki waved "See ya."
After School
"You ready?" asked Doumeki
Watanuki nodded "Yup." he sighed
He so desperately hoped they could find a way to save Maru and Moro. Not only had he hurt them but he had hurt Yuk-san and Mokona. He walked slowly behind Doumeki until they reached the temple. They took off their shoes and entered the doors solemnly.
"Alright lets get started." said Doumeki reaching up to the top shelf and pulling down a book.
"Lets start here okay."
"Seems like a good a place as any." said Watanuki
The two read through books, scrolls and tablets for anything.
After hours of reading Doumeki let out a yawn "Here take a look at this."
Watanuki read it over "Displaced souls." he said
"That sounds about a right." he said sounding relatively hopeful
"What do we have to do?" he asked nervously
"Something about a sacred palace or temple I'm not sure...read it."
Watanuki read of the long passage "It sounds dangerous, maybe I should go by myself."
"If it's dangerous that's all the more reason for me to go with you." he said arrogantly
"Fine...we have to go to this Temple and perform a ritual."
"Are you sure Doumkei-kun?"
"If I can get hurt then you don't have a chance." he said with a faint smirk
"Alright then...we have to do it a night, then sunset is in an hour lets get ready to go."
Doumeki nodded.
They packed up the book with the passage written in it and flashlights.
In the temple
"Okay what are we looking for?" asked Doumeki
"Um...a giant stone slab."
"That one." he said pointing over in a dark corner
"Hopefully." he said
THe two walked over and examined and the stone.
Watanuki took a breath "Alright this is it."
"Can you read the passage...its some other language."
Doumeki nodded, he took the book into his hands reciting the words on the page.
Watanuki cupped his hand to his over his nose and mouth as a disgusting stench filled the room, Doumeki finished the chant. '
"What is it."
"There is something here." Watanuki coughed out
"Spirit?"
"Mhmm." he said keeping his covered
And then he saw a black cloud enveloping Doumkei
"NO! Noooo! No!" he yelled as Doumeki fell
"Doumeki?" he yelled
The spirits followed Watnuki as he raced towards Doumeki-kun
"Leave me!" yelled Doumeki
"No...I can't...not here." he said quietly
The spirits filled the room and everything went black.
Watanuki rolled over he had a massive headache.
"Where am I?" he asked groggily feeling the cold cement beneath him
He shot straight up "Doumeki-kun!" he yelled
He stumbled over to the other side of the temple "Doumeki-kun!" he yelled his voice echoing throughout the stone walls
He stopped and fell to his knees when he saw Doumeki's body.
'"No..." he whispered
"This is not happening...no...you are not Doumeki-kun you are not!" he yelled
Then tears began to pour out of his eyes when he realized that his face was cold.
"Dammit." he murmured "I never shouldn't have let you come here." he said
"I've ruined everything...I'm just a no good useless and its all my fault."
He started crying harder "Its all my fault."
He wiped away the tears from his face, he bent down and slowly lifted the other boy's body he would never leave him here, dead or alive.
He trudged towards the temple entrance and carried the body off quietly into the night
