Chapter 9

Yippy I am back to update guys, hope you all are having a good January, it's flying by right? Did you all see KH OAD PT 2, was like sigh, y can't I have a Tomoe of my own. Lmao.

The school trip, the cave story and Nanami's Sleepwalking.

Nanami POV

'It was Thursday afternoon, the teachers had requested the school trip move to Friday morning at 8 am, and so Monday won't be a missed school day.'

I looked at Tomoe while sitting in his kitchen watching him prepare dinner for the past hour, he was making some hamburgers, and it was my favorite and his first attempt as well.

We made small talk but all in my mind I began to think what if we had feelings for one another what would happen then? Or was it just me alone and Tomoe was going to keep me friend-zoned as I was a student and a few years younger. I mentally sighed and then heard him calling me.

Normal POV

"Hey you okay? You look like you spaced out in worry?" asked a concerned cute fox drawing closer to Nanami.

"I'm fine, just have a few things on my mind… do you need help with the hamburgers?" Nanami replied with a smile.

"Hai, will you grab the buns and dressings from the fridge, I already prepped them all" said Tomoe as he began to fry the burgers.

It was really delicious, Nanami thought to herself, the perfect burger. Mizuki had come home and Mikage visited and they all enjoyed dinner that day, made some small talk and arranged for the school trip the next day.

THE NEXT MORNING

They were all on the bus, Kurama and Ami had apparently hit it off and were getting to know one another, Tomoe looked at his friend and thought he was probably the loner and will always be. He began reading a book on the cave they were visiting, it was a tragic love story left in the cave with drawings left on the wall, maybe archaeology a little here as he found himself humored….little he knew there would be a part of his ancestor upon that story.

There were beautiful flowers and sceneries as they drove by. In a couple hours they had all made it safe and sound.

"Okay everyone grab your stuff, make sure you have a buddy, and meet us there by the cafeteria entrance, we will discuss sleeping arrangements and every question will be answered." Mizuki informed all students.

"HAI" everyone replied.

Everyone took their belongings and headed to meet their teachers, there were about 60 students and 4 teachers.

"Now guys and girls separate, girls go with Mrs. Hiyori and guys, go with Mr. Mizuki, I need a person from each class to speak with m or I will pick one of you from your respective classes…. Okay no one stepping forward, Nanami, Kurama, Xiao and Sue, step forward I will give you notes and aids."

As everyone came closer there was a little discontent after being chosen but they were responsive to his notes and questions.

"Now guys, there's nothing much left to do, I just need you guys to do a headcount for me, pass out these notes and books for the cave, now there is an ancient love story for the cave we're about to visit. We shall learn more about it tomorrow. I just want you all to be comfortable and enjoy today, tomorrow we shall visit the cave and learn all about it." Tomoe said to his students before him.

"Hai sensei" all replied. Then all walked off to their cabins.

"Nanami, did you get everything?" Ami questioned her friend.

"Yea I think so."

"Let's go exploring, we will have fun probably meet some guys, what do you think?" Kei asked.

"Sure!" Ami and Nanami replied.

SO these three went exploring the beach nearby, they had fun and came back to their cabins to relax and sleep.

In the middle of the night, Nanami had moved from her bed, her friends unbeknownst she had gotten up and walked out of their cabin. Tomoe was reading a book on the cave, a tragic love story, the lovers died in there, he decided to call it a night, he heard a door slam and it was close to 12 a.m. that night, he wondered if something was wrong, he noticed a shadow heading towards the cave, he realized it was Nanami, he put on is coat and boots and headed off behind her. He drew closer to her and realized she was speaking so he listened closely to what she was saying

Nanami went into the cave and sat beside the wall, she began speaking and saying thank you and telling whoever she saw that she loved them so much and in another life maybe they would meet and they would get married. She said "Tomoe, I would love for the rest of my life even though the love of a demon and human is not permitted and seen as taboo, I breathe my last moments as your wife Yukiji and will love you forever more in this life and in my other lives yet to come." As she said this tears were forming and running down her face. Tomoe looked at her shocked beyond belief. He looked at the wall of the cave and saw a drawing of a human woman and a demon with long hair, unbelievable. It looked like Nanami and him, he was stunned.

He decided to awaken Nanami and get her out of there.

"Nanami! Hey Nanami! Wake UP! Come on!"

"Huh? What's going on? Why are you in my cabin?"

"You are not in your cabin, you were sleepwalking, and do you do this often?"

"I don't, I am unsure why it happened."

"Never mind, go back to bed, lock your doors and be safe ok."

Tomoe and Nanami walked back to their cabins and said goodnight to one another. The next day Tomoe took the classes to the cave and gave everyone notes on the cave's tragic love story, a powerful yokai had fallen in love with a human and vice versa, they were to be wed and the villagers had found out and hurt the woman and within her last breaths they wed and the same moment he held her, a sword flashed and pieced his heart and they both had died in the cave.

No one had noticed the similarity of the drawing on the wall of an injured yokai and human, Nanami stopped in front of it and noticed their names, Yukiji and Tomoe. She inspected the picture and as she looked she noticed similarities with the painting, she then heard voices, speaking of love and then as she tried to focus on them, she thought it sounded like her and saying she loves Tomoe and being held by a handsome figure a vision flashed before her, long silver hair and violet bluish eyes. She gasped in disbelief, it was her and Tomoe!

She looked away to spot Tomoe, at the same moment their eyes met, a thousand questions filled their mind with one on spot "Who are you?"
