"Haru, is something wrong?" Kiyomi was sitting on the edge of the bed trying to remove the blanket from my face. I gave no reply as I deeper under the sheets. I obviously didn't want to tell her, it was too shameful for me to open my heart to someone like that. "Haru, come on! What's wrong with you?" "I'm fine." I wasn't fine; I can't even stomach the thought of Kyo and Yuki being together. She must have taken a hint as I didn't hear from her and the bed relaxed. I laid there thinking of how I could remove Kyo from Yuki's heart, but before that I need to figure out how to stop the whole apocalypse thing. I took a deep breath and removed the blanket that sheltered my depression and despair. "Kiyomi?" She was sitting on the floor writing a letter. "Are you ready to talk now?" She didn't look up from her paper. "How do I stop the apocalypse?" I suddenly garnered enough of her interest for her to finally look up.
"So you're going to stop wasting time and fix what you created?" I nodded, if I were to focus on this, it would take my mind off Yuki. "Well, it's quite simple really; all you have to do is collect puzzle pieces." She said this as if it were common sense; I really doubt it's that simple. "So how do we get these puzzle pieces?" "By killing members of the other organization or taking them from the creatures that spawned from the disaster." So that's the catch, yeah, really simple and easy. And I have to find puzzle pieces? This is completely normal. "Riiiiiight, so what do they do?" "Once we get all of them we have to put them together. We have two pieces already." She had what looked like miniature stone tablets that were shaped oddly and were about the size of her hand. "These were left when we removed that puppet." I forgot that we were in a battle yesterday; it was so draining even though I wasn't the one doing the fighting. "What happens after we collect them all and assemble them?" "I don't know, there is a prophecy about it but only our highest rank has access to it."
So even after we find them all, there is no guarantee that everything will go back to normal. "Haru." She pulled me out of my thoughts. "I have a feeling." I don't know why she was talking so slowly, maybe it was hesitation. "I have a feeling that our next enemy will be someone close to you." Someone close to me? Who could she possibly mean? She must've felt bad for sending me back into deep thought as she tried to contradict herself. "I could be wrong, it could be anyone or anywhere, don't think too hard." This made me feel a bit better but the awkward silence that came afterward let an ominous tension. She must've felt it as well as she broke the silence. "Just stay with me at all times and you'll be fine." I can't do that, even if I die in the process there are some things that I just need to do alone. "I know that this is your job and all, but there are some things I need to do alone." She stared at me as if I were crazy, after thinking about it for a minute, she nodded.
