Chapter 12: remembrance
Wiping the blood from her knife, Yuri sat in her bathroom, as she ran the warm water over the sharp knife. She knew that she just murdered someone, but she was somehow calm, as if she had done it before, but she knew that he deserved it for hurting Natsuki.
Yuri sighed, as she wiped the knife on the black bathroom towel, good thing they were black, because her parents would probably freak out, and she didn't intend on telling them, unless if they found out somehow.
As Yuri was cleaning her mom knocked on the bathroom door.
"Yuri, dinner if ready." Her mom said in a calm and cool voice. Yuri cleared her throat so that she could talk.
"I'll be out in a minute." Yuri said quietly. Her mom didn't leave, as Yuri could see the shadow of her mother's feet at the door.
"I'm okay mom." Yuri said. Her mom sighed.
"I know; I just think of how much you went through." Her mom said. Yuri nodded her head in agreement. She had to let go, but it was so hard, how would she love again, how could she trust anyone anymore?
"Really, it's okay, I'll be out soon." Yuri said. Her mom walked away slowly. Yuri loved that her parents were concerned but at the same time, having them on her back all the time, was stressful, because being alone with her thoughts were sometimes a good thing for her. She could think of Natsuki, and Imagine that she was with her in whatever place she was now, heaven, hell, whatever.
You can be with her you know?
That thought cam across her mind, and sure she could see Natsuki again, but how could she hurt her family like that? She didn't know what to do anymore, sitting and staring at the wall was the only thing helping her.
Even at school, she was even worse, she was failing her classes, because thinking was the main weakness at the moment.
Yuri opened the bathroom door, and saw her parents were already at the table waiting for her, they hadn't touched their food.
"You guys could have eaten; you didn't have to wait." Yuri said. Her mom smiled.
"Of course we had to sweets." Her mom said. Yuri smiled at the nickname she was given since she was a little girl. Pulling a chair out, Yuri sat down, and started eating her food. Even food wasn't helping her, the taste was just bland, she missed Natsuki's cupcakes.
It had been a few weeks since Natsuki had been gone, and her funereal was today. Yuri sniffled, as she put on a black dress. Her mom knocked on her open door.
"You know you don't have to go, if it's too much." Her mom told her. Yuri felt a slight tingle of anger in her fingertips. Her mom was only trying to help, but it didn't feel like it.
"I need to go, for Natsuki." Yuri said. Her mom walked up to her, and fixed the wrinkled in her daughter's dress. She spun her around, to see the dress in all form. The woman smiled.
"You look beautiful." Her mom told her. Yuri smiled sadly. Her mom lifted her chin with her finger.
"Hey, it's all going to be okay." She told her. Yuri wanted to cry at those words, it was never going to be okay.
"Yeah." Yuri said. Her mom watched her walk away.
The car ride wasn't long, until Yuri saw the small crowd at the cemetery. She saw Monika holding onto Sayori with both their parents behind them. Yuri sighed as she opened the car door, and walked up to her friends.
"Hey." Yuri said quietly. Monika looked over to her friend, and gave a sad smile. Sayori looked at the ground, her eyes were red and puffy. Yuri stood by her friends, as the priest started the ceremony.
"We are here to commemorate Natsuki." The priest began. Yuri felt the tears slowing down her face. She couldn't focus on what the man was saying, rather she stared at the coffin, and how in a few minutes, she would be in the ground.
As Yuri stood there, she felt a brush of a hand touch hers, as she looked down to see a small piece of paper folded in her hand. Her eyes became clear again. What was this? Who gave it to her? Yuri sighed, and opened the piece of paper, it was probably for the Funeral or something. As she opened the folded piece of paper, she saw familiar handwriting. Her eyes went wide, as she read those two words…
I'm okay.
A/N: Well shit, didn't expect that huh? I would never kill off Natsuki, since she is best girl in my opinion. Anyways, I am sure you guys hate me haha, so I will end it here.
