Chapter 9: Home

Yusei's eyes slowly opened and he sat up. He looked around. It was dark but he was able to see everyone else waking up as well.

"What… happened?" Akiza asked.

The lights slowly turned on and it revealed itself to be the garage again.

"We're… back?" Crow asked.

"Yeah, we're back," Jack responded touching the chair. "This isn't some illusion either."

Luna and Leo looked out the door. "It's only been an hour since we got there," Luna stated.

"No possible way," Crow responded. "We were in there way longer than that."

"If that place way like a dimension all on its own," Yusei responded, "time there could be different from here. After all, everything time wise for us seemed to stop in that school."

"True," Crow agreed.

Suddenly a breeze passed through and they looked to see a giant, black gap with hands reaching out and red eyes glowing that had suddenly appeared in the corner of a room.

"W-What the…?!" Luna exclaimed. Leo and Luna hid behind Yusei as he backed up to the others.

"It… isn't over," Akiza responded closing her eyes.

Suddenly, Keeo's child spirit walked out. They just looked at her nervous though she was looking down. "It was a rainy evening after school, just like this one," she stated confusing them. "I had a fight with my mom that morning. Mr. Yoshikazu was always a nice man, listening to my problems. He couldn't speak so he would just listen. That's when everything went wrong." She looked at them slowly. "You are all nice people. I am glad I was able to get you out."

"Wait, why aren't you back to your human, nineteen year old self?" Crow asked a bit confused.

"Because… I never truly grew into that," she replied. "I had died after Sachiko took out my eye. But then, she let me, or forced me to, come back. But she made sure she left a piece of herself in me so she could watch what I saw, so she knew who came into the school and when."

"Wait, so you told her we were coming?!" Jack asked sounding a bit angry. "How many more people are you and your friends going to bring into that place? It is you, right?"

"That's… not true," Keeo replied looking down.

"Keeo, what happened to you exactly?" Akiza asked stepping forward a bit.

"If you really want to know…" she trailed off and took Akiza's hand in hers. But the others were relieved to see Keeo didn't burn her this time.

Yusei noticed on how their minds seem to merge into one. But it wasn't long before Akiza gave signs on distress in her possessed state and she began to pant and wheeze until she went to her knees.

"No… no…" she muttered over and over.

Keeo slowly took her hand away after a few, stressful minutes. "That's… what happened to me," she stated.

"Akiza!" Yusei called looking at her.

"Keeo, what did you do to her?!" Jack yelled angrily.

"J-Jack, stop," Akiza cut in. "I was the one who asked for it." She slowly stood back up.

"What did you see, Akiza?" Yusei asked.

"I was seeing everything that happened, through Keeo's eyes," she answered.

"Wait, you mean you were there at her murder? You were there?" Crow asked shocked.

Akiza nodded. "That girl in the red dress…" she stated. "She really was the murderer. Yoshikazu just hid in a corner afraid as the girl killed each one of them. One by one. Their hands and feet were bound and then they were blindfolded." The others were shocked as she explained it. "Because of that, as expected, they began to listen more carefully. It was horrible. Every single one of them was screaming and their screams were filled with pain and terror, and nothing gave them the relief of passing out or dying then and there so they couldn't feel that pain any longer. And it was the same with Keeo. Being through her eyes, I was feeling her pain and everything."

"Wow…" Crow muttered.

"Keeo, I still don't understand one thing," Yusei responded. She looked at him. "We should've appeased you, right? Why are you still here?"

Keeo looked down. "Even though we could've been freed under normal circumstances, we cannot for our situation. And me? Sachiko will never let me come back to this world again. Her curse had officially taken me. Right now, I'm free. But it's not going to last. Eventually, I'll start shaping the school and killing innocent people just like Yuki and the others," she explained.

"Back up a second," Crow responded. "Why can't you leave?"

"We… are all bound to the closed spaces," she replied. "Sachiko, you could save. But, aside from Sachiko, none of us can be saved."

"Are you saying you'll never be able to leave Heavenly Host again?" Jack asked. "That you'll end up killing again? No, there has to be some way to save you all."

"We are all bound to the closed spaces of Heavenly Host and its curse. Like I said, now none of us, except for Sachiko, can be saved," she replied in a sad tone.

"No…" Yusei muttered. He winced in pain and looked at his injured arm. The mark was still there and it grew.

"That thing should be gone!" Crow exclaimed. "You're out of that damn school!"

"Now that he's out… the darkening process can't affect him so easily," Keeo responded making them look at her. She was looking down sadly. "But… a curse cannot be undone so easily. It will… slowly take him. But not as fast as before unless he gives in." She began to cry a bit. "I'm… sorry, Yusei. It's… my fault. If I had only… thought before trying to get you away…"

"Keeo, you were trying to help us as fast as you could. It's not your fault," Yusei tried. "I'm not blaming you for it." But it seemed like her fear and pain had really hit her heart at this point and she didn't seem easily consolable.

"Yusei's right, Keeo," Jack stated. "You were trying to save us. Is there really no way we can save you?" She shook her head.

"There's something you should know about that place and about me now," Keeo stated. "When you die there, you vanish from existence here. And since I had died to Sachiko's curse and am now fully part of it…"

"You're not saying…" Yusei trailed off worried.

"I… don't exist here anymore," she responded.

"But, we remember you," Leo responded.

"And that's only because you were in Heavenly Host," she replied. "Other than you, everyone will forget. Even my records are be erased from here."

"But…" Yusei because but she cut him off while crying again.

"Keeo, how did we even get stuck there? It can't be just because we did the charm," Crow asked.

"You… messed it up," she answered.

"Huh? How? My friend told me the exact way," Akiza responded.

"I'm… not even sure how you remember her," Keeo stated.

"You don't mean…" Akiza trailed off.

"She's there. But… she's dead. She gave into the darkening after discovering it was because of the charm she suggested," Keeo explained. "She had gotten the charm off of a blog. The person who discovered the charm and put it on the blog intentionally put the wrong directions on it."

"We need to change that," Yusei responded. "What's the right way?"

"You do the same thing, but you have to chant one extra time for Sachiko," Keeo explained. "If you do it right, Sachiko will pass by and leave you alone. And if you fail…" She began to cry again. "Please… don't do the charm again. Stay away from it. Stay out of its way… Don't come and end up… like me." She then vanished along with the black, spirit hole.

"Keeo!" Yusei called but it was too late.

"She… she can't be…" Luna muttered.

"She's gone," Yusei responded sadly, "and she won't be coming back."

"What're we going to tell her mother?" Akiza asked. "If she really doesn't exist anymore…"

"We'll figure something out," Yusei replied. "For now, we… just need to get some rest." 'Though I'm not sure how much I'll be able to sleep after what I've seen. Not including the throbbing pain in my arm,' he thought.

Crow yawned a bit. "I am tired. After that, I really need to sleep," he stated. "Akiza, your parents are probably worried about you."

"Right," she agreed. She, Leo, and Luna left after that was said.

"Do you really think it's over for us, Yusei?" Crow asked.

"Yeah," he answered. "But… that place is still standing there. Taking more innocent people every day."

"But that one ghost said it was Keeo and the others that brought us there. Then Keeo said it wasn't them who were," Jack said. "So who's bringing people into that godforsaken place?"

"Sachiko," Yusei answered bluntly.

"It's possible. She does seem to like killing," Crow muttered. He then said louder and clearer, "It's still hard to believe that a girl like the one in the red dress, a girl their age, was the one who killed Keeo and the others like that. And that she is making them kill other people."

"I just wish there was something we could do," Yusei responded.

"I have to agree with you, Yusei," Jack replied. "But we would have to go back there to do it. I don't think Keeo will be able to help us this time around. And there's no telling what we'll face. Not including the fact that Yusei's condition will only get worse."

"Like it already isn't," Yusei responded wincing again.

"Man, how much longer is that thing going to last?" Crow stated.

"Well, when it disappears, so will Yusei," Jack reminded. "I would honestly rather it be there and be able to have him around."

"But it's hurting him, Jack," Crow retorted.

"I'll be fine," Yusei responded to break up the fight.

"Let's just get some rest," Jack suggested. Yusei and Crow nodded in agreement and they all went to their rooms for bed.

Despite the things they had seen, Jack and Crow slept like a rock. But Yusei had trouble sleeping as the pain in his arm just seemed to get worse. He sat up and looked at it. It had definitely grown bigger.

'I'm just worried,' Yusei thought trying to calm himself. 'But this worry… is it adding to the darkening and making this worse?'

He winced again at the pain and watched as it grew, not easily noticeable but it grew. Yusei gripped it, trying to calm himself again. 'I'll be fine. I just have to stay calm and keep my hopes up,' he thought. He lied back down and tried to sleep again. But the throbbing pain continued, making it difficult to sleep. But slowly, his exhaustion took hold of him and he fell asleep.
