**A Sight For Illusions**
Chapter 3: ~The Kiss That Will Save You~
"Maybe I was too hard on him?" Buttercup felt guilty.
Next day...
Butch is getting his books inside his locker when he saw Buttercup his locker mate came. Buttercup, not knowing what to say opens her locker to get her stuff silently. Butch was about to leave when Buttercup stops him "I'm sorry about yesterday..." she said nervously. Butch looks at Buttercup "I was not in the mood to talk to anyone...I felt so guilty...I'm sorry" Buttercup felt so ashamed. Butch felt her sincerity "Gee...dude that's okay...you don't have to get soft on me!" he smiles 'Plus I don't want to see you frown...it makes your face ugly' he thought. Buttercup smiles at him 'That's much better' he thought.
"Everyone, next week we are going to have a high school prom," the teacher announced to his students. Everybody started to whisper excitedly to his or her friends. "Yo B.C.! Who are going to go with?" Butch whispered. "No one...I'm not coming" Buttercup whispered back. "Why?" Butch asked. "Because I don't dream of wearing a dress and I got a better business to finish first!" Buttercup said then the bell rang and immediately she runs out the room. "Next stop...Crane Shinzer!" she flew out the school.
The next thing she knew, she was in front of a very huge building. Buttercup entered the building, automatically the doors open. "Welcome to Mega World, may I know who you are looking for?" said a woman inside the counter. "I'm looking for Crane Shinzer. Is he here?" Buttercup asked politely. The woman scans the monitor in her computer "Mr. Shinzer is in a very important meeting. Do you have an appointment with him?" the woman asked. "Actually...I was sent by the...um...the Thoaru's" Buttercup said nervously cause she can't ay she was sent by Mr. Shinzer's ex ghost girlfriend. "Oh! The Thoaru Corporation...but I thought your appointment would be filed next week...and aren't you too young to be their Messenger?" the woman started to get suspicious. "Ah...I...um...this is my job to earn money for my schooling..." she lied. "How hard working you are...it's not often you see kids like you working" the woman said. "Yeah" Buttercup sweat drops as she smiles. "Well...good for you Mr. Shinzer's clients backed out minutes ago, so he has this free time lot after his meeting" the woman smiled as she scans the monitor again. "Go to the 15th floor, room no. 602...good luck!" the woman smiled. Buttercup went towards the elevator; there she was alone. She pressed the 12th button and slowly the elevator closes. As the elevator went up she sense another presence...the presence of a dead. Slowly the elevator went up, she could feel the ghost floating closer and closer to her every floor it passed.
I can't breath...help me...
Buttercup shivers as she hears the creep sound of the ghost. It was getting colder and colder, she could feel the ghost trying to touch. Goosebumps grows on her skin.
Stay away form me! I can't help someone who is dead...
Buttercup shouts. "Yo man! Look at the girl screaming in the elevator" said the guard looking at the monitor. As the elevator passes to the 13th floor the ghost fasten its pace towards her. Buttercup felt it; she closes her eyes and trembled "Don't get closer...stay away!" she said continuously. Then the elevator open's, she quickly went out and run fast away from the elevator. Slowly she lessens her pace then notice that she is one floor below. Not wanting to use the elevator, she passes to the staircase. As she walks on the stairs, she saw a ghost of a woman lying dead on the stairs half naked.
I was finishing my work when a man went in my office and grab me here...roughly he abused me...I cried for help...but no one came. He stab me continuously as the finishing touch...
The woman looks at her with fragile eyes "Be careful...you can't trust any person now a days..." the woman stared at Buttercup. Their Buttercup left and went to room 602. She went near the door and knocks. "Come in" she heard and entered. "You must be the Thoaru's...whoa! My secretary said she's young...but you look more like a high school student to me" said Mr. Shinzer. Buttercup smiled and bowed "The truth is I was sent by the Thoaru's daughter..."she said seriously...the room started to die. "You must be joking..." he laughs but he saw that she is serious and slowly his laughter dies. "I'm not...for 40 yrs. she waited for you to come back beside the Sakura tree but you never came. All she wanted is to see you there and rest in peace. Next week our school will be open for visitors, why not reflect on it and visit her...think about it" Buttercup said. Not wanting to use the elevator neither the stairs, she opens the window and flew out. The man was surprise and reflected on what she has just said a while ago.
I never want this to happen Ayano. I was too scared...
Buttercup landed on the ground and chooses to walk instead. "B.C.!" she heard and saw Butch. "So...where's you so-called gf?" she asked dryly. "Somewhere...so wanna eat out?" he asked. "Gee...your bread!" she answered. "Ok ok" he insisted. We walk in a small noodle restaurant coz that is the only thing he can afford. "So...ya comin next week?" he asked again. "I was thinking of it a while ago...maybe" she eats her noodles. Happily they talked while eating. At the middle of Butch conversation he noticed Buttercup remained silent looking outside. Buttercup saw a middle-aged woman went through the glass and went near the cook and hug him. The woman's face was a disaster her eyes where wide and swollen like its gonna fall off and her face was covered with wounds. The woman's mouth started to vomit blood as it lands on the cook's noodles. Buttercup was so disgusted that she pushed the noodles away. "Gee...B.C. if you don't like it...why did you ordered for it?" Butch jokes but saw that Buttercup's acting weird. A waitress went near to ask what's the matter then saw Buttercup shakin' like crazy and disgustingly looking at her noodles then the cook. "So, you can see her too" said the waitress. Buttercup looks at her and nodded while Butch doesn't get what they are talking about. "See whom?" he asked. "The chef's wife...before he and his wife own this restaurant. They spend time together cooking. Until one day after his wife brought their groceries..."
She waves at his husband and her husband did the same, then she crossed the street. Suddenly a crazy driver accidentally hits the chef's wife. The chef went out to bring her to the hospital...but she was dead on arrival.
"So after that the chef's wife always went here to see how her husband is doing..." the waitress finished. Butch still don't get it. Buttercup and the waitress look at the ghost and saw it's swollen eyes fell to the drinks. "Shin, don't just stand there serve this to them" said the chef. Quickly Shin serves the drinks to Buttercup and gave her an apologetic smile. Butch was about to drink when Buttercup stops him. "What did you stop me for...I kinda thirsty here" Butch said. Buttercup saw the eye wiggle on the drink disgustedly. Butch tried to drink but Buttercup keeps hesitating. "You can't do anything to stop me" Butch dared. Not knowing what to do she pulled Butch closer and captured his lips and made the drink fell from his tight grip. She quickly backed out not looking at Butch. Both were so red. Simple but breathe taking...different from the others. Not knowing what to say she stood up and flew away "I did that to save you!! You bastard!!" Buttercup shouts out.
