Naoko: Hey guys! Welcome back to It Begins Again. I hope you don't hate me for this chap.
Ayumi: You'll see why.
Seiko: Enjoy~!
Here's a hint of what's going to happen: We'll stay together, right? Right! I promise! ~Time skip~ As I reached up my bleeding hand, my vision was becoming blurry. My last words were, "You broke your promise..."
Kazuya's POV
"Where am I..?" I said, groaning as I tried to lift myself up from the cold, hard, wooden floor. "WHO'S THERE?!" A male voice yelled and I turned around to face it. He sighed and looked down at me and said, "Oh, it's you." Tomoya said and gave me his hand. I took it and brushed myself off. "Where the heck are we?" I asked and looked around the foul place. "Reminds me of my sister's college!" Tomoya laughed and I did too, but it didn't last long. "Where are the others...?" I mumbled. "I d-don't know..." He responded. "I don't like the feeling of this place..." He mumbled. I pushed up my glasses, "No one should.." I said and looked around. "I really hope we find the others..." I mumbled and fidgeted with my hands. He placed a hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be okay, okay?" He said and flashed a smile. I nodded and we walked out the door.
Satoshi's POV
Me and Naomi walked around, hoping to find keys or the others. "Do you think they're okay?" Naomi mumbled. I nodded. "Hopefully." I said as we continued walking around the mass of creaking floors. While I was walking, I was peering into doors and one specific door made me halt in my steps, making Naomi bump into me. "Hey, what's wrong..?" She asked and peered into the door. "Oh.." She mumbled. I slowly walked into the room while trying to hold in tears. "Yuka.." I groaned in agony and continued walking towards her. "It's okay Sat-"
"Please, go away."
"W-what!?"
"I.. I want to have alone time with Yuka.."
"Oh.. O-okay.."
Naomi walked until she was under the door frame. "I-i'll be near the stairs.." She mumbled and walked away. Once she was gone I looked down at Yuka, letting my tears flow out. "I'm sorry.." I whispered, I never realized how weird it was talking to dead bodies. "I'm sorry that i'm your Onii-chan, yet I still couldn't protect you.." I finished, stroking her hair. I feel sanity slowly getting out of my grip.
'Why, Why wasn't I there!? Why did she have to die! I SHOULD BE DEAD!' I thought while clenching my eyelids shut. Soon, my eyelids just opened, and I felt like I couldn't control my body at all. All I could do was seeing what was happening. This feeling... It seems rather familiar from the first time... It's the darkening. I watched as I walked out of the room and towards Naomi's direction. Why does this have to be happening to me? Why must I fail to protect what I love?
Naomi's POV
I was waiting by the stairs, as I said to Satoshi. I never thought about how my friends must have felt when their loved ones died, all I thought about was Seiko and how I felt. I let out a long sigh and sat down on one of the steps, thinking about how selfish I am. After a while I heard steps approaching me and I turned around to see Satoshi standing before me with a blank face. "Oh, hey Satoshi. I-I want to apologize for, um, never thinking about how the others and you felt when our friends died.." I said, I realized I could've said this to Seiko, and she would probably still be alive. Satoshi still looked at me the same way as before, what's wrong with him? "Hey Sato-" I said and he suddenly pushed me, making me fall down the many stairs. What seemed like eternity, I was down on the floor, bleeding madly. "Satoshi.." I groaned weakly and he walked down the stairs, still carrying that blank expression.
"Why are you doing this?" I yelled at him, but it turned out to be my regular voice level. "It's because I hate you." He said plainly, staring at me with an angry expression. "Why..? W-why do you hate me?" I asked weakly but he was angered even more. "Why? WHY?!" He said with a raised voice. He stepped closer to me. "IT'S BECAUSE YOUR ANNOYING! A DRAG! A USELESS OBJECT I'M FORCED TO CARRY ALONG WITH ME!" He yelled. Making me wince. "Now... Don't you want an end to your pain?" He asked and tilted his head with a smile. I shook my head frantically "No... No, please" I said with tears, stinging my wounds from the stairs. He probably wasn't going to listen to me anyway. "Aww~ Too bad." He said with a pout and picked up a nearby knife on the floor, one that was next to another body. I was right. I wasn't crying because of the pain, I was crying because the one I love was hurting me. I have heard the phrase, love hurts,but I didn't expect it to be literal. Which brings me back to a flashback, I wish I could live that moment right now..
Flashback in Naomi's POV
Me and Satoshi were sitting on a bench in a park, it was nice to hang out alone in a beautiful environment. "Hey, Satoshi. Can I ask you something?" I said suddenly. Satoshi gave a nod. "Sure!" He said enthusiastically and scooted closer to me. "W-We'll stay together, right?" I asked him nervously, a blush covering my face. For a while he didn't say anything, did I say something wrong? "Right! I promise!" He agreed and gave me his pinky. "Me and Yuka do this all the time, this is how we used to secure our promises to each other.." He said with a smile, but it slowly faded away with the mention of Yuka. I held my pinky out and we both used ours to put them in a lock and his smile returned. "Always.." I said and smiled back.
Back to H.H ( Heavenly Host )
As Satoshi walked closer to me, my tears clouded my vision.
He raised his knife.
And looked down at me with black eyes.
I realized why he was doing this.
The darkening.
But I still love him, the person who was going to kill me right before my eyes.
My last words were going to count, but I know when I die, I will see Seiko, and I will apologize my heart out. But for now, this is the moment i'm living through. I looked at Satoshi in his dark eyes. My last words... "You broke your promise." I whispered softly and the knife plunged deep into my chest. I was gone, and I will feel pain. Physically and Mentally.
Satoshi's POV
I... I killed Naomi... I felt myself regain control and I fell to my knees, right next to her body. I sobbed uncontrollably. "W-Why.. Why must I be in this foul place? The place where nothing becomes better, only worse. She won't even be remembered. And it's all my fault.." I sobbed quietly to myself. I perked up with red eyes. I kept on replaying her last words over and over in my mind. "You broke your promise." That was the last thing I would ever want her to say, ever, and it was. I picked up the knife and put it next to my chest, but I immediately thought no. Even if she died, if she still loves me, she would still want me to live. "I'm going to live for you.." I whispered. But before I left, I used the knife to cut off her arm. I took it and grasped her hand in mines, I also took the knife. "I will live for you Naomi. That is a promise I will never ever break." I told myself while I walked away from her dead body.
Naoko: *Sitting down crying* I'm crying because this hurts my feels, i'm sitting because i'm waiting for the hate.
Satoshi: W-why...
Naomi: The feels... Why...
Ayumi: I hope you will not murder Naoko, just don't touch her ice-cream. She will murder you first.
Yoshiki: We hope some of you enjoyed!
Tasuki: Umm.. Review?
Seiko: *waves* Bai bai! Have a nice day. ( We really hope so.. )
