Chapter 2 : The one who hides
"Rei, it's 3 in the afternoon! Are you still asleep?" Asoh Yuuya sounded from the outside of Otohata Rei's apartment. There was no answer. Yuuya heaved a loud sigh and left for work again without Rei. He has been skipping his job, never leaving his apartment. It seemed that his shopping was even ordered.
A dark haired teen was lying on his bed, his blanket cast aside and was now at the foot of his double sized bed. Sweat embedded his face as he slept. He was dreaming…no…it was more of a nightmare. He twisted and turned but soon he was back to his original position.
"Don't go" Otohata Rei said coolly to a black haired girl who went pass him.
"Why do you care?" She snapped as she turned to face him, tears were threatening to fall "At least I know some people who actually wants me and I'm not going to let them wait"
"Don't be stubborn Aya" Rei told her, half expecting her to follow his orders. Suddenly everything went black.
Rei was standing in an empty space, there was no up, no down not even right or left. It was simply blank
"It's because you let her go! She died because you let her go!" Yuuya's voice came into his head, screaming and telling him that it he was to blame, was he really?
"Rei, how could you? You let her…without her knowing? Without even telling her anything? You're cold…frosty cold…" MIyu's voice came in next, along with the Yuuya's.
"You evil dumb jerk! Why didn't you stop her? Don't you care for her?" Ran's voice yelled at him. He was on his knees already, his hands covering his ears as hard. He kept repeating himself.
"no…no…NO! I need her…I would never…no…you're all wrong"
A soft breeze entered the room of Otohata Rei as he was sleeping. Entering through the window, a silhouette of a girl with long hair wearing a long off-shoulder white dress appeared. Her face was grim as she watched the boy mutter words.
"no…no…no…" he kept muttering, his forehead creasing to prove his negation. The girl placed her hand delicately on his head. His creases soon disappeared as quickly it came. She smiled but in her gray eyes reflected sadness.
The voices vanished the second a mystical figure appeared behind Rei. It's steps echoed past the hollow area. It touched Rei. He turned around and saw a man with no face. He bent down and stretched his arm out to the shocked teen. Nevertheless, Rei took it and stood up. The man spun around slowly and went away before Otohata could say anything. He was alone once again. Behind him, out of thin air, came an outline of a human. It grew nearer and nearer to the dark-haired teen. When the outline came into view, it was simply a figure in a white cloak. But then, a skeleton hand came out of from one of the long sleeves. Hung around the wrist was a bracelet, Aya's bracelet. Shock and sudden fear was mirrored in the boy's eyes. His face turned pale, he took a step backward, almost tripping over his feet. The hand grabbed him by his open polo shirt, pulling him closer to it while the other reached up to his face. Rei could feel the cold breath, the freezing touch of the bony hand.
The girl sighed and took a seat at the head of the bed where Rei's face was close to her lap. She lowered herself so that her stomach was in line with Rei's chin. Her porcelain hand caressed the cheek of the troubled teen. She removed her hand and watched him sleep. His hand moved, reaching to where hers was a few moments ago. The girl blushed a slight tint of pink.
"Aya…" He whispered
Before another second had passed, the space had turned black once again. The cloaked figure had disappeared. In front of him stood a tall but old tree, under its shady branches a girl in a cream colored gown touched its strong and rough bark. Rei inched closer reluctantly, not sure what was happening. The girl turned around.
"Hi Rei, it's been a long time hasn't it?" Hoshino Aya smiled at the boy who was two to three feet away from her. She beamed and walked to him. They were inches apart. "How have you been doing?" Her voice echoed, like the sound of an angel speaking.
"It's none of your business" Rei's cool surfaced again. It was habit.
"Oh I see…" Aya said, her eyes downcast. "I guess that's that huh? I'll see you Rei" She spun around to saunter away when Rei grabbed her wrist gently. He pulled her into a hug.
"Aya, we have to go now…" An unseen force called out to Aya who was still seated comfortably beside Rei. She stood up, her dark hair falling down to her shoulders. Turning around, away from the slumbering teen, Aya made her way to the window.
"Rei…this is goodbye…I'm glad you are alright…don't push yourself…" She smiled with glee once again.
"Rei…?" Aya didn't move from her spot. Both enthralled and shocked at the sudden movement.
"Aya…no…" Otohata Rei had his lips near her ear, his breath warm as he whispered. "Don't go…"
Tears threatened to fall from the girl's eyes. She simply stood listening to his breathing, hoping that time would stop even for this moment.
"Don't go…" A soft mumble came from Rei. Aya whirled around suddenly. She looked at him, droplets of water slowly made their way down. The sun glistened through the window as the wind blew in softly. She didn't want to leave. Aya went back in. She attempted to close the window when Rei shivered a little but soon she realized that she was slowly disappearing. Anything material, she couldn't touch. The crystal tears fell down harder. She can't feel anything anymore. Nevertheless, she moved towards Rei, listening intently to what he was saying but after what he said earlier the rest became murmurs too soft to hear. She sighed.
"Please hear my prayer…" Aya knelt to the ground. Her white dress surrounding her, a glowing aura wrapped her body as she clasped her hands together. "For the last time…I want to feel him…I want to touch him… I want to tell him I love him…please… for the last time…"
