It was Saturday morning. I got up from my make-shift bed and started to stretch. To no one's surprise, I was forced to sleep outside. I headed towards the front door, creaking it open slowly.
Yuno was nowhere to be seen. I walked into my bedroom, grabbing the tickets. As I exited the room, I tiptoed to the doorway. I slipped my shoes on and cautiously opened the door.
"Where are you going?" I jumped at the sound of her voice. I turned my head around, now facing Yuno. She was tapping her foot impatiently. Her eyes were burning into my skull.
"I'm just heading to.. Yukiteru's house.." I muttered. Her face lit up after I said his name. "Can I come!" I sighed, nodding my head. She clapped cheerfully, jumping up and down. Then she ran out the door. I sighed out in disappointment, "Here I was, hoping to get to know the kid better. Now Yuno will just cling to him every chance she gets." I hurried out the door, attempting to catch up to Yuno.
..
..
We all made it to the amusement park. "Why the hell.. did we have to walk.. Yuno." I panted. "It wasn't.. that long.." She responded. "We left home.. five hours ago.." I almost shouted.
All three of us were exhausted. I reached into my pocket and grabbed some money. I limped my way to a concession stand and bought us all some waters.
Once we got our energy back, we started to go head on some of the attractions. Of course, Yuno and I instantly went for the roller coasters, even with Yukiteru protesting against it. We made it to our first roller coaster. The Formula Rossa. There was very little people in line.
In just a few minutes, we made it on to the ride. Without a moments hesitation, Yuno and I went straight for the front cart. Yukiteru said that he would sit in the one behind us but I decided to do something else.
"Nah, it's okay, Yukiteru, "I replied to him, "You can sit up front with Yuno." His face was full of distraught. I pat his shoulders and took up his seat. Yuno turned to me and whispered, "Thank you." I winked.
The carts gave a sudden lurch as the ride began. It slowly rose to the very top, stopping every now and then. I leaned forward in my seat and whispered into Yukiteru's ear, "Let's hope that it doesn't give out and fall back.." This caused him to tremble uncontrollably. Yuno was attempting to comfort him. I was laughing my ass off.
After two more minutes, it finally reached it's peak point. It was easing forward until it then plunged straight down. It's speed was increasing faster and faster. Yukiteru was screaming, but I couldn't hear it over mine and Yuno's cheers. After a minute, the ride started to slow down. I could feel the adrenaline flow through me.
Once we got off the ride, I had to catch Yukiteru from stumbling. He was shaking. 'I guess we shouldn't go on anymore roller coasters for now.' We went and sat him on a bench. Yuno kept apologizing for putting him on that ride. He just said, "It's fine, really.."
After all of that, Yuno pointed out a haunted house. "Hey guys, let's go there!" She exclaimed. I shrugged my shoulders, "Sure, why not." But Yukiteru was waving his arms. "Sorry.. I don't do haunted houses.." But with a little convincing - and by convincing, I mean forcing - we entered the haunted house.
As soon as we entered, there was a jump scare. It caused Yuno to yelp and grab a hold of Yukiteru's arm. 'Huh.. Usually Yuno doesn't get scared this..' I thought before I knew exactly what she was doing. I couldn't help the chuckle nor the smirk. I decided to play along with it.
"By the way, Yukiteru," He looked over at me, "Yuno is terrified of haunted houses. You think you can be her knight in shining armor to protect her?" His face was a deep red. Yuno glared at me, and I just waved her off. "So how about it?" He looked very confused, but then nodded his head.
"Good man," I slapped his back. Yuno was now blushing. We continued our way through, with both Yukiteru and Yuno screaming the whole time. I just yawned. 'Man.. There is nothing scary or even remotely creepy in here..'
As we reached the end, there was one last scare. It was man behind us, running at us with a chainsaw. This sparked something in Yuno that caused her face to grow serious. She reached her hand into her pocket.
I grabbed her shoulder, "It's just an attraction, not a diary owner.." I whispered into her ear. This calmed her down, but only slightly.
We exited the house and saw the swimming area. We entered it, walking over to the changing rooms. Since we didn't bring our swimsuits, we had to borrow some from the place. I picked up a pair of black trunks with a red streak through them. I walked out, scanning the area for Yuno and Yukiteru. I spotted them, Yuno trying to pull Yukiteru off one of the poles.
After that, we got into the lazy river. It was really relaxing, but that ended when I heard Yuno scream. In an instant, I was next to her, questioning what was wrong.
"M-my swimsuit ca-came off, " she stuttered. I nodded my head, swimming in the direction she pointed me towards. I looked behind me, checking to see if she was okay. My mouth opened when I saw someone bump her into Yukiteru. I felt my brotherly instincts kick in, causing me to find the swimsuit even faster.
I found the top and swam as fast as I could back to them. "Thank you so much!" She was thrilled. I was about to have a stern talk with Yukiteru, but he was under the water, drifting off. "Huh.. Who would've thought he die from a boner."
We exited the pool and made our way to the planetarium. Yuno was full of excitement, "Yuki! Do you want-" "No." I looked at him, glaring. But once I saw the sadness in his eyes, I held off. Instead, we went to Ferris wheel. I let the two of them on. I just sat down at the bottom, letting them have some alone time.
Once they got off, both seemed to be in a better mood. The sun was beginning to set, so we called it a day. It begun to rain once we left, so we let Yukiteru stay at our house for a little while.
"Here is an apple from the yard, I'll go peel it for you." Yuno said as she walked off. We both just sat there in silence when, "Can I use your bathroom?" I gazed over at him, nodding my head. "It's at the end of the corridor."
He got up and left, leaving me alone in the dark. After a minute or two passed, my phone started to static. I opened it up, but was enveloped with a bright light. Once I opened my eyes, I heard Yukiteru scream.
I ran to where he was, just to see the taped door open. Yuno was behind him now, crying. "It was going so well too.." She cried. Yukiteru then rushed out of the house, Yuno chasing after him. I walked over to the door, peering inside.
The two rotting corpses were visible. I cringed. "Damn it!" I shouted as I slammed the door shut, slamming my fist into it. 'At least it wasn't the mirror this time..' I tried reassuring myself.
I taped the door shut, sealing it. After I did this, Yuno entered the house. She went straight towards her room, not looking at me. I wanted to comfort her, but I decided to leave her be.
I went to my room, throwing my phone onto the bed. 'If only he didn't see that room..' I thought. My phone vibrated. It was a message from Kurusu.
From Kurusu:
If you are willing to help me out, I am looking into the Omekata temple. I could use you and your sister's help.
Yukiteru Amano is already on board.
I sent him a reply:
To Kurusu:
Fine. We'll do it. But this doesn't mean we will join your alliance.
I tossed my phone onto my bedside table. I laid down, letting sleep take over my body. 'Tomorrow is gonna be an eventful day for Yuno and me. And I'm not looking forward to it.'
