Chapter 16- Only One?
The silence broken only by sobs and sniffles lasted for at least fifteen minutes. Fifteen long minutes. However, after a while, Sakuragi and Kiyota started feeling restless.
We can't stay here for ever…. What if it comes again? We would be wasting all Mitchy's effort, Sakuragi thought as he saw Miyagi trying to comfort a very shaken Ayako.
We need OUT! Kiyota wanted to scream at all the glum faces around him. Sure, they were sad, Mitsui-sempai was their friend, all of theirs, no matter how hostile he may have seemed to be… but still, they had no other choice, they had to get out.
'Minna-san,' Sakuragi started, at the same time Kiyota cleared his throat. They looked at each other, a little shocked. Sendo, shaken out of his deep thoughts about Mitsui, looked up, and seemed to be trying to clear his head. Rukawa opened his eyes, which were blood-shot. Cold or not, this was too much for him. Too many deaths, hurt…. Maki on the other hand, just sighed softly, too tired to care. He was getting really irritated, and who could tell him not too. They were all tired and irritated too.
'Minna-san,' Sakuragi tried again.
'Let's get out of here.' There was a pause as Sakuragi let that one quiet sentence sink into everyone's mind.
'Yeah, we have to, or we'll end up like the rest,' Kiyota said. It was unusual that Kiyota and Sakuragi could and would talk so softly…
It's beyond unusual, Maki thought, it was totally… there's no word to express what I feel and to describe it…
… but considering the number of unusually weird things that had happened…
Yasuda sighed audibly. Everyone turned their attention to him, who turned crimson immediately.
'How the hell are we supposed to get out of here?' Takano asked, sounding a little angry.
'Yeah… we don't even know what that thing might have in store for us next,' a Ryonan freshman said aloud.
'We might as well rot in here,' another piped out.
'That might be what you wish, but certainly not what I do. You can stay in here and rot, but I'm getting out of here, along with those who believe that life is not so simple, easy and meaningless that we can just waste it away for no apparent reason… and I'm not going to waste all Mitsui-sempai's effort. I'll go, even if I'm the only one to go with all those two, and at least, if I don't make it, at least, I would know that I did try to survive. If it's God's will for me to be killed by the pig of a centipede, then so be it, but I'm not going to sit here and kill myself,' Sendo said standing up, slowly. There was a long surprised pause. Sendo's voice, usually cool and carefree, had a certain commanding tone in it. it was the voice of a captain, a leader, someone the rest were scared to go against, not because he was strong, but because he was usually right.
'Baka smiley,' Sakuragi whispered.
'I'm with you.' Maki stood up.
'Maki-san.' It was Kiyota.
'Me too.'
'Ahh… bench-warmer.'
Rukawa stood up too, hearing a stray 'Kitsune,' muttered somewhere. Slowly, one by one, they all stood up, even Takano and the other two substitutes.
Inwardly, Sendo smiled. He had gotten them to believe in him and now, he had to lead them out. Even though he did not like that responsibility… but at least, after a real long time, they had finally summoned enough courage to move on.
He knew that now, they were all looking at him to lead them, and so lead them he did. He started off by arranging them into four lines with a few people helping, namely, Fujima, who in the end was to stand at the front of the first row, Sakuragi, who stood behind Fujima's row, Jin, who stood in front of the second row, and Kiyota behind. Hanagata in front of the fourth row, and Rukawa behind, Koshino in front of the last row, and Maki at the end of that row. He on the other hand was to lead them all, right in front. And though he didn't like that idea, he had a certain feeling that he was safe, cause he was not the one IT was looking for.
'Do not let go of each other's hands no matter what, okay? It may slow you guys down, but don't ever let go.' Sendo said to them. He had thought of putting someone behind all of them, but that idea itself scared the hell out of him… imagine how it would scare the poor person chosen. It was too vulnerable, standing behind alone.
Having made up his mind and all of them arranged, which took almost an hour and a half, Sendo stepped to the gym door, the only thing separating them from the centipede, or whatever it was. He closed his eyes, and drew in a deep breath, trying to muster all his courage together, which stubbornly tried to slip away.
He threw the door open. All that greeted them were the raindrops, beautiful moon, and cool wind. A few sighs of relieve ran though the crowd.
Sendo stepped out of the gym, followed by everyone else. Light rain fell on them, refreshing them a little. The smell of fresh grass wafted up Sendo's nose, and instead of grimacing, he grinned. The smell of grass, so real and near, seemed to chase away all the other illogical thoughts that were running lose and destroying every other thing in his brain.
Illogical, but real, a cold grim voice reminded him.
'Shut up,' Sendo muttered softly, pushing that thought away. Slowly, they advanced to the entrance of Shoyo High.
The first-year block… the second-year block, Sendo mentally calculated as they drew nearer and nearer to their only means of escape and freedom.
Third-year b…
Ayako screamed suddenly, cutting Sendo's thoughts short abruptly. A few gasps and screams echoed Ayako's warning scream.
'Uhh…' was all Sendo, blur and shocked to be shaken out of deep thoughts so suddenly, could utter.
'Don't let go! Hold each other's hands firmly!' Fujima shouted, feeling his hand being tugged behind as they all retreated from… from the huge gigantic moth that was fluttering on top of all of them.
Sendo grasped Mitsui's watch tightly… they couldn't lose now… couldn't and wouldn't…
As he looked down at the watch, he heard the cruel mocking laughter that was roaring in his head.
11:57 PM.

It wants someone special… one particular person… only one…
Me….

Rukawa watched a certain someone who happened to realize that he was wanted… and not in a nice way too…
He found out by himself...
He had known, but had not had the heart to tell, because he knew, time would tell, and even if he told it out, the thing might still have killed the rest because… because…
It itself had not realized…
A/N: hope you guys liked it!!! it's kinda short, I know… but I'm real sorry!!! I know it's been a REAL LONG TIME!!! SORRY!!!
