Chapter fourteen: Memory
When the lights finally halted their dastardly flicking, Bisetsu found herself in the lips of Kyouya who kissed her intensely without giving her a single chance of breath in her mouth. When he finally release her, she backed away while covering her mouth with her hands, blushing redder than before when Kyouya gave yet another famous smirk to her.
She wanted to ask why he did that when she saw someone behind him, it looked like a shadow. So she took out her sword that she kept behind her back and was about to charge at that person when it was just Sam carrying a tray of tea for Alice. She blushed with embarrassment on her face, putting the sword behind so she could hide it with a redden face. Sam is wearing black suit for a rich butler and he even wore white gloves along with polished shoes. He looked at her and leaves, carrying the tray with ease and no worries as he passed down the hallway. When Bisetsu looked at Kyouya, he only shrugs what was going on with Sam who secretly seems worried for some unexplained reason. But it did not matter because Bisetsu was furious of what Kyouya had done, Sam could have seen the whole thing if the lights were on and he would have made fun of her because of that! But what did Kyouya mean when he said that she knew him from somewhere? Kyouya was about to leave with his hands inside the blue jean pockets when Bisetsu stopped him so he could tell her why he had said what he just said before what happened.
He did not say anything and he was gone, deep into the dirt covered walls of the hallway that had many hallways unexplored to him or her. Bisetsu wondered if she should have not said anything, but when she puts back her sword in its leather brown pouch, she started to walk the opposite direction Kyouya took so he would not think that she is stalking him. Which would be ridiculous, why would she, of all the sane people in the world, would want to be with an arrogant boy like himself? When she turned right, not knowing what would be coming her way, she accidently went through someone and she literally went inside that person!
"Oh, I'm-"
But when she turned around, she saw right in front of her very eyes something that just does not seem right whatsoever. Right before her stood a black cat that was right about her height only an inch higher, the cat is brushing himself and his eyes sparkled like golden yellow diamonds. The cat looked well dressed with a fancy black coat with a dark grey colored tie and he wore on his left eye a monocle that shined at the sight of her who looked in a stiffing fright.
"Ah, pardon me, dear lady," he said in a fancy toned voice that sounded almost Britches. "It is I who should apologize for my rudeness." he bowed down to her politely with his cane held tightly in his right hand and his left hand taking his top hat off. "I hope you could forgive my arrogant approach, it is no way to treat a lady."
She did not know what to say, she did not know if she should say anything at all!
"Ah, apologizes again," he said, looking down on himself because of his cat form as he puts back his top hat. "Please excuse me."
He starts to walk to a corner where she was going to take next by the right.
"No, wait!"
She starts to walk faster to get him, but when she got to that very corner, she saw before her a teenage boy who looked like the cat but in human form. He looked behind her and he smiled, his skin is shining brightly with a fine tone color of beige white, he wore black pants made of maybe silk, black finely polished shoes that sparkled and his eyes are still its magnificent golden yellow. He took off his top hat and brushed off his dark midnight blue hair that reflexes from the light bulb lights. Her heart was unknowingly starting to beat hard; his radiant beauty was no match for any boy she had ever met before. He looks up to her with his glowing eyes and gave her a smile.
"If I may," he said. "Can you please help me find Miss Alice for me? I will be in your debt if you could, Miss…?"
"Bi-Bisetsu Sasaki!" she stuttered. "It's Bisetsu."
"I will be in your debt if you could, Miss Bisetsu," he said. "Just to let you be confirmed, your name is absolutely beautiful."
Bisetsu blushed across her face, he smiled kindly at her and he walked by her side so she will guide him to Miss Alice.
…
When Bisetsu and her friend made it to her office, Bisetsu first tapped the door three times so she could see if anyone is inside or not. No response, so she goes through the door along with her friend and they both saw Alice lying on her bed. She does not have her blindfold on and her whole body is covered with bruise.
"I warned her that facing higher demons are dangerous,"
"Wait, demons? I thought-"
"Ah, you thought incorrectly, my dear," he said with his index finger up. "You see, many demons have unknowingly high capabilities such as Nowaki who is actually a Soul Seeker like Riku."
"Haruhi's brother?"
"Yes, also, demons have many capabilities such as transforming into human forms or sometimes have other possible talents not shown yet. However, Alice could be the strongest and arrogant demon in the entire universe. Unless someone beats her on a battle, it would be extraordinary that someone would have unknowingly powerful powers to defeat someone who is the daughter of Him.
"Ah, pardon me once more; I never introduced myself to you. My name is William L. Liard. But please, call me Will if you feel more comfortable."
"O-okay, William…" This guy is so high-class and sweet at the same time…this seriously can't be true.
That is when Bisetsu looked at Alice who was standing on her bed with a huge knife that is covered with dried blood and she is pointing it at William! Bisetsu backed away with her arms as guarding points, but Alice was truly glaring at William who gulped his saliva from the knife point that is pointing at his neck.
"What are you doing here?" Alice hissed as she slowly lowered her knife.
"I apologize, mistress," he said apologetically. "I am here to inform you some news, Nowaki is now dead after your furious attack and the Court wants to see you…again."
Alice groaned loudly, but she agreed the terms to follow him. She jumped out of the bed with her knife in her hand, she followed him and Bisetsu asked William why he called her 'mistress.' He merely replied that he is her pet cat. When the both of them went out, Bisetsu is all alone in the room and felt so sick all of a sudden, why are so many weird things always happen to her? She felt a little klutzy a second and she collapsed onto the bed that Alice was sleeping in, she looked up at the dirt ceiling that a speck of dirt fell down on her cheek but went through. Soon…she fell deeply asleep.
"Hey, Banshi!" Tawny shouted. "Captain Banshi, are you awake?"
Bisetsu woke up to find herself sleeping on the table with papers scattering on her table, Tawny is leaning in front of her with a huge grin on her face that made Bisetsu want to attack her. But when she risen herself up, she suddenly felt something…off. When she looked around, she could see the whole place looking like it is brand new. Bisetsu looked around and realized that this is Partway café; Tawny looked bewildered and tilts her head confusingly to ask if she is all right.
"How did this place get so good looking?"
"Uh…what do you mean? It always looked like this…"
"What? Wh-what about the fire?"
"Fire? Oh, ha-ha! You're getting better at being dumb, Dumbo. This place didn't get burnt down like a marshmallow, bra."
Wait…what's going on? I remember everything perfectly; it was the twenty first of two thousand and twelve…seven thirty at night…what's going on?
"Is something wrong, Bisetsu?" someone asked from behind that made her stiff up like a brick wall.
Bisetsu slowly turned around, each step gave out its own echo to the closed café with white walls, pictures of old times like the grand opening of Partway café, the bright chandelier that sparkled with its own glowing amber red light and floors of brown wood. When she finally stood forth to that person, the lady standing before her is wearing a pony tail in her shaded hair of brown and brown eyes reflected to her.
"What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Fujioka…" Bisetsu starts to tear up; she ran up to her and embraced her with a huge hug.
"Bi-Bisetsu? What's wrong?"
"I-I thought you were gone! I thought it was a nightmare, I was dead and everyone else was and-and…"
Mrs. Fujioka pets her head and sighs calmly to her, she was smiling down to the crying Bisetsu who felt so realized that this whole nightmare of her life has finally ended…or so she thought.
"You know, I'm a little hungry…how about we eat? I'm thinking about…you?"
Bisetsu looked up to see Mrs. Fujioka glaring down at her with small beading eyes that glowed red blood and her lips are licked with her long tongue. Bisetsu pushed her away and she was about to get to Tawny, but Tawny also looked like Mrs. Fujioka! This is not her world; this must be a fake world that nearly trapped her. Bisetsu did not know what to do, she saw the door and decided to run to it, but Tawny ran up to it and blocked her way, so she went to another way but Mrs. Fujioka blocked her path using her dark wings that sprung out from her back. What is she going to do know? She cannot go out the door, or the windows or anywhere else because they kept blocking her way. What is she going to do is a mystery; she cannot do anything at all. But that was when she remembered her sword, so she took it out of her back pouch and she held to her sword tightly in her hands so she could be prepared to battle the monsters. Mrs. Fujioka cackled and pointed at her sword, saying to her that that sword is a piece of junk that cannot kill her or Tawny. Tawny and Mrs. Fujioka made their eyes dark black but kept their beading red pupils still at Bisetsu.
Bisetsu took her sword, ran up to Mrs. Fujioka and with the swiftness of her silver blade, she sliced her arm clean off to send spraying blood that gushed everywhere. Mrs. Fujioka grabbed her shoulder and screamed out loud piercing scream that was so high pitched that it made Tawny fall down to the ground. Bisetsu found her chance to escape, so she starts running to the door, stepped on the back of Tawny and the door automatically opened for Bisetsu. When she made it out, she found herself inside a white light void, the winds are pushing her forward and she found herself somewhere different. She looked around to see a huge but small grassy hill and a large tree giving shade for two little children playing together. Bisetsu starts to walk forward and to her surprise she found a smaller version of herself playing with…Kyouya!
"Kyou-boo look what I made for you!" Bisetsu took out a picture of her and him together under their tree. It was not a childish drawing and it looked so well drawn, with the fine grey lines of the pencil it made to her and everything around her.
"Amazing, Bise-roo."
"Hey, Kyou-boo…do you promise we'll get married someday?"
"Yes, I promise we'll get married!"
"Pinky -wear me, Kyou-boo."
They took out their small pinkies and tied them together while singing a little song to each other, Bisetsu watched the whole thing from afar and something was shedding down her face…tears overflowed her vision and it dimed down to interrupting darkness.
Bisetsu felt sick, she started to wake up and she opened her eyelids slowly to see everyone around her because they are worried what happened. She is no longer in the room she was sleeping in, she found herself inside her room and Michelle asked if she is all right. That was when she rose herself so fast and shouted 'Kyouya' in a desperate tone that made everyone jump in fear.
"Is she awake?" Tamaki asked, eating a piece of cake.
"She will be soon, Mister Suoh," William said. "For now, eat some more cake."
"I missed cake so much!" Mitsukuni gushed, shoving a piece of chocolate cake in his mouth.
"GUYS!" the girls shouted at them, Kyouya looked over to Bisetsu and smirked at her.
Bisetsu looked at Kyouya and tears started shedding down her face. "Kyou-boo!" Bisetsu suddenly leaped up to him and hugged him tightly around.
"KYOU-BOO?" Tawny screamed and fell down to the ground, not believing that this was the old Bisetsu they all knew and love.
"Sasaki, are you okay? Don't leave us hanging like this!" Michelle asked, looking down at her who cuddled at Kyouya.
"I had the weirdest dream that I was back at the café but it looked better, Mrs. Fujioka was alive but it turned out to be an ugly monster and I remembered everything!"
"I think she's undergoing at think called 'wet dreams.'" Hiyori whispered to Michelle and Rosalie who tried to hold their fit of giggles.
"Maybe she's was wet dreaming about Kyou-boo," Tawny whispered excitingly.
But that was when two shadows overshadowed them and when they looked up, they saw Kyouya and Bisetsu together with their arms folded and steam coming out of their noses.
"Kyou-boo?" Kyouya said in a deep, angered voice at them.
"Wet dream?" Bisetsu asked, not showing her eyes to them but gritted her teeth at them.
…
"Can…you explain to me what happened here?" Alice asked, looking at the damage of the room that Bisetsu is currently living in when it looks like a complete mess.
Alice looked around, she can see through her blindfold and could see cake splattered everywhere, Hiyori lying on top of Tamaki who has a piece of cake shoved in his mouth, Tawny and Michelle hanging on top of the ceiling with the minor support of the celling that could collapse at any second, Mitsukuni and Rosalie are hanging upside down on the walls and looked like they were slammed to the walls. That would explain the huge creak on the wall that they are currently leaning on, and the twins with Tawny are underground…their heads are literally stuck inside the ground.
"If I may," William said, bowing down to get near her ear. "I believe that something good and bad must have happened and with complete rage, Kyouya and Bisetsu fought with everyone in the room to nearly destroying the room,"
"These people…are my next Court…?"
"Yes, mistress." he bowed down and looks down at Bisetsu who is sleeping in the arms of Kyouya after beating everyone up.
…
After many unknown hours that Bisetsu and everyone else fell asleep, she woke up first to find herself back at the burned style of the café. Meaning that this is not a dream, hopefully.
"Bisetsu…" echoed a familiar voice.
Bisetsu turned around and finally stood forth to that person who spoken, the lady standing before her is wearing a pony tail in her shaded hair of brown and brown eyes reflected to her. it was Mrs. Fujioka with a bright light shining around her, a smile that made Bisetsu think twice if this was really a dream or not.
"This…"
"This is real, dear," she said. "I don't have much time left, but I want to tell you something. Look in your chest; you'll see a symbol on your chest." Bisetsu looked inside her shirt and could see a fountain pen on her chest. "You are the manager of this café, Tawny is the joker, Hiyori is the singer, Michelle is the bartender and Rosalie is the waitress."
"I…don't understand."
"If you ever wish to one day leave and live a new life, the symbol will glow bright and you'll be taken to your new life. Haruhi must forget you, however. But I promise you'll cross paths with her, and when you do, you and everyone will enter the gates of Ouran. And then, the boys will meet you. Oh, my time is running shorter than I expected. So please, send my regards to all of you." She turned around and was about to leave when she turned her head around to see her. "And also, try to light up once and a while, life isn't forever, but death is kind of like it. My, that sounds a little weird doesn't it? Goodbye, Bisetsu."
Bisetsu started to run towards her, she reached out her arm to touch her one last time but Mrs. Fujioka disappeared in a bright light that made no one awake yet. Bisetsu fell down to her knees, she looked down on herself and then to her fountain pen symbol in its bright blue color.
"I…I don't want to leave everyone." she muttered. "But…what will everyone else think once everything is done?"
To be continued…
It is like a scattered dream falling down to the endless world of darkness
Pain struck within me like a shining blade inside me as it shines with great lightness
My heart is a battleground covered with scarred blood of crimson and sad faces
Shall is endless battle be my undoing fate?
