Chapter 7
Masako suddenly appeared right behind me. I can't turn around, I am paralysed like last time. I'm so scared I don't know what to do. I can't even talk. I felt a very obscure aura surround me from head to toe that made me shiver. The aura is so evil it makes me sick. At the corner of the room, I see Naru in a strange half-curled position, unconscious. Nobody is here to help us. What am I supposed to do? I feel cold fingers curl around my neck. I stood here, doing nothing. What can I do? I am not strong enough to get myself out of this situation. Why is he doing this to me?
'' Sh-Shiro...please.'' I whisper.
Suddenly, this uneasiness I was feeling disappears. The fingers around my neck loosen up. I felt myself freed again so I turn around and back off a few steps, watching carefully Masako. A dark shadow emerges from Masako's body. As soon as it left her body, she collapses on the ground. I focus on the shadow in front of me. A little form starts to show, it's a little kid's body. Shiro's body. Now I can see everything, his face, eyes, expression, hair, clothes, everything, like if he was really there, still alive. I couldn't talk. I was too shocked.
" Why? " that was the only thing that could come out of my mouth.
Shiro looks at me with an angry expression.
" I want you to stay with me forever, Mainee-chan. I don't want anyone else to steal you from me again." A sad expression immediately replaced the angry expression." I don't want to wait any longer. I'm scared to stay alone in this dark and scary place."
At this moment, I didn't know what to do or say so I keep my mouth shut and look at him. He started slowly walking towards me. Suddenly, I feel a huge pression on my whole body. I couldn't move an inch, like last time. Is he doing this ? Probably yes. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
" don't worry, Mainee-chan, I finally found you again, I'm never going to let you go. Let's go see papa and mama okay ? " He says with a gentle smile on his face.
His lifts his bloody arm in my direction. I feel a gentle breeze tickle my cheeks. I can't escape from his power. What should I do ? I don't want to die yet. I don't want to leave my new family, Naru...
Suddenly, I feel something warm fill up my stomach. My eyes are burning, but it doesn't hurt. The adrenaline is rising in my body. The breeze stops completely and Shiro glares at me. He starts walking back slowly without leaving his gaze on me.
I lost total control of my body. It started moving on its own like if I was possessed. I bring my right thumb in my mouth and bite it hard until there is blood. With my blood, I draw a circle with and x in the middle on the palm of my other hand and lifts it in Shiro's direction.
He looks at me with confused and scared look. His scared expression fades out and turns into an evil expression. He starts walking towards me but before he reaches me, I hear unknown words coming out of my mouth.
" kambaraki huya no tao, kambaraki darui bazara, kambaraki hiyo-ka umnei." I sing.
Shiro's body flinches at the last word I pronounce. He starts screaming his lung out and rolls on the floor. His body slowly starts to fade out until it disappears completely.
I stand here, petrified, looking at my own hands.
' What was that?' I asked myself.
I hear a weak groan coming from the corner of the room. I turn around and find Naru on the ground.
" Naru!" I run towards him and kneel down beside him.
He looked in pain, his face was so tense. I slowly place his head on my lap and start stroking his hair. He lets out another groan and slowly opens his eyes. He looks at me for a moment before letting out a sigh. He tries to get up but immediately falls back down.
" Don't move! You hit your head hard on the floor." I say.
" Are you okay? " He asks me with a conserned look in his eyes as he strokes my cheek.
I burry my face in his palm and kisses it gently.
" I should be the one asking you.'' I say, laughing softly. ''Yes don't worry. Masako seems okay as well. Shiro possessed her but now he left."
"How? What happened?" He asks.
After a moment of hesitation, I finally answer.
" I-I don't know. He left Masako's body and just disappeared."
I subtly wipe my hand on my shirt.
Naru tries to sit down again. I help him out by putting my hand on his back as a support. He rests his head on my shoulder and closes his eyes. ' I have to go find the others.'
'' Naru...'' I start. '' Can you stand up? We have to go to the base to treat your wound.''
He nods. I get up first and reach for his hand to help him get up. I wrap his arm around me and mine around his waist to keep balance. After a few steps, we lose balance and we both fall on the ground, him on top of me.
'' Naru! Are you okay?'' He nods.
I tried to move a little but it's no use, he's too heavy. His whole body is crushing mine. Even though we've been dating now for almost a month, it is the first time that we're so close physically. I feel my face heat up.
'' I apologize... I'm too dizzy, I can't move.'' He whispers.
I sigh. He rests his head on my chest and closes his eyes. I run my fingers through his smooth black hair.
'' We'll have to stay here until the others come find us or until you can move again.'' I say.
We stay like that for a while, neither of us moves. I replay the whole scene in my mind, trying to find any rational explanation about what happened. I felt like I was possessed, my body was moving on its own. I was there, witnessing the whole thing, but I wasn't the one in control. I don't understand. Gene hasn't been appearing in my dreams these days. He's not present when I need him the most. Who should I ask then? Monk? Absolutely not, he would worry too much and exaggerate everything. The only thing I am sure for now is to not tell Naru about this until I figure everything out. I glance at Masako. She's still unconscious. I wonder why Shiro possessed her? Is it because she's very sensible, she could feel his feelings or that she was the weakest? I'm glad she's okay though.
I glance down at Naru. His breathing is normal again, it looks like he fell asleep. 'The narcissistic Naru fell asleep on top of me, how cute.''
After an hour, John shows up in the kitchen with a puzzled look. He scans the room and then his gaze stops on me and Naru.
'' For god sake, what happened here? '' He says as he walks towards us.
As he helped me carry Naru to the base, I explained everything, almost. When we entered the room, we found only Lin. He jumps from his chair when he saw us. He walks to us and grabs Naru from the shoulders. Lin and John carried Naru to the sofa.
'' Masako is still in the kitchen, I'll go bring her here.'' I say.
John grabs my wrist and stops me.
'' Let me.'' He says, smiling softly at me. '' You need to stay with Naru. The first person he wants to see when he wakes up is you right?'' Before I could say anything he adds, '' we already know about your relationship.'' He says with a small laugh.
He congratulates me before walking out the door. I glare at Lin.
'' I didn't say anything, if that's what you're thinking. It was pretty obvious.'' He says.
I sigh and walk to the sofa, next to Lin. I sit on the chair nearby and tell him what happened to Naru. He just kept on nodding without saying anything.
'' I think we should put a camera in the kitchen, just in case it happens again.'' He says. I nod.
'' But... I don't understand why Masako was the one who Shiro possessed.'' I say, looking down.
'' In my opinion, she's the most vulnerable one here. I believe she had special feelings towards Naru. But when she knew the relationship between you and him, she probably got hurt and started feeling jealous. The story you told us about that friend of yours and your twin brother, it is practically the same thing. Shiro was jealous because you were getting closer to that friend. He felt like he stole you from him. Masako now probably feels like you're stealing Naru from her.'' He pauses.'' She got possessed because she and Shiro were sharing the same sadness.''
I don't know how to react to that. But everything falls into place, with Lin's explanation.
John walks in with Masako in his arms, he places her on the other sofa and sits next to her. While he takes care of her, Lin treats Naru's injury. Masako and Naru got hurt because I couldn't protect them. I need to become stronger to face my twin brother's ghost. Earlier...That power, where did it come from? I don't understand. How can I use that power when I can't even control it? I stare at Lin. I have to ask him, he must know the answer.
Ayako, Monk and Yasu walk in the base. They all freeze when they see the injured Naru and Masako, both unconscious. They start to ask me a lot of questions. I told John to explain to them.
'' I'm going to bed, I'm a little tired. See you guys tomorrow.'' I say.
I walk to Naru, bend and kiss his forehead gently. Everyone looks at me with awe look-except Lin.-. I ignored them.
'' I'm sorry.'' I whisper to Naru.
I say goodnight to everyone and they all answer me. I walk out the door and head to the girls room. I change into my pyjamas and get ready to sleep. I jump in the bed and let out a long sigh. 'I hope Naru will be better tomorrow.'' As soon as I close my eyes, I fall asleep.
I open my eyes, and find myself in my old room. But that's not exactly me. I know I'm dreaming. I'm with someone in the room, but strangely I can't see his face. He's not wearing a mask or anything, I just can't see his face. Words escape from my mouth.
'' It's your fault that my sister left me.'' I say. But it's not me, I feel like there is someone else inside my body, who is controlling everything.
'' Stop, please. Don't let him control you. Remember who you are.'' The stranger says.
I feel like my heart tried to escape from its place. He hugs me and kisses me. I know these lips, but why can't I remember to whom they belong to? Suddenly my body moves on its own. I push him back and curl my fingers around his neck.
'' You're going to die.'' I say.
'NO STOP IT, I DON'T WANT THIS'. I feel a huge pain in my heart. I can't do this. I need to control myself. The thing inside me starts pushing the stranger towards the window. I know this feeling, it can't be happening. I can't happen again. 'STOP, LEAVE MY BODY'. Before I realise that the thing inside my body left, I find myself falling from the window with the stranger, in his arms.
'I know these arms.' I feel so calm even though I know I'm falling down. I close my teary eyes and smile.
I open my eyes and find myself in my room. It's dark. I feel something wet on my face. I touch my cheek and feel my tears falling down.
'What was that dream...'
So that was chapter 7, I hope you guys liked it and I'm sorry for my mistakes.
