Hi guys! I'm reaaaallllllyyyyy sorry about the short chapter yesterday Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
Truthfully, I'm actually on a train as I write/post this, travelling to my aunts in Holland! I'm going to be here for 5 days and I'll be spending a lot of time with my family, so I might not write so often. There will hopefully be at least two more chapters coming out whilst I'm here. As soon I was off the train I was like "NEED WIFI" and I managed to get it for a few minutes, but it was enough to read through the 16 new nofications I had got before I left (⌒-⌒; ).They really make me happy! Anyway, enough of me, onto the next chapter!
"You took your time!" commented Satoshi, quite harshly as Yoshiki was ushered into his hospital room by the forever going back and forth nurse.
"Hey man, nice to see you too!" Yoshiki replied, noticing how Satoshi had suddenly adopted his sarcastic streak. "Ayumi, come on in!"
Ayumi walked into the room, sitting down next to Yoshiki, smiling. Why the hell did Shinozaki tag along?
"Why is she here?" he muttered, glaring at Yoshiki.
"I can bring her if I want to ya know," retorted Yoshiki, defensively. "Anyway, what's wrong with you?"
"Aw...I only fricking stopped breathing and passed out!"
Ayumi noticed the angry tone in his strained voice, and was quite concerned.
"Mochida-kun, there's no need to be so blunt! We were really quite worried about you when we got that text las-"
"Suuuuure. And that's why you came today instead of yesterday. At least Naomi was kind enough to come visit me yesterday instead of my best mate!"
"Ugh Satoshi!" Shouted Yoshiki, his short temper rising, "The world doesn't just revolve around you, ya know!"
"Where were you then?"
"I was out..."
"With Shinozaki?" he asked, fully aware that Ayumi was still listening.
"Yes, actually!"
"Oh I see. All you care about is her now!"
"NOOOO!" screamed Ayumi, leaping out of her seat, "Yoshiki doesn't just care about me! He cares for all his friends, especially you! Your his best mate! You've always been there for him! What's gotten into you, the Satoshi I knew would never be so cold against his own friend!" Satoshi was about to retaliate, but his thoughts were once again conflicted. Should he tell them about Hinoes visit, and that he knew what was going on? Or did he keep quiet, and not get them involved. He had no idea what he should do, but they were both defiantly angry now, and even a little upset. Satoshi knew exactly why he was lashing out, being cruel, however, he didn't know whether they would believe me.
"You don't understand..." Satoshi told them, the anger in his voice turning a bit sadder.
Unexpectedly, Yoshiki nodded, his had placed naturally on his head like an accessory.
"Your right," he said, standing up and pulling up Ayumi as he did, "I don't understand. And if your not going to explain why your being so cold towards us, I see no more point in why we should be here."
Ayumi nodded, defending Yoshikis words. There was no way she was going to waste her time with a boy who was lashing out on her. She didn't have enough time to waste.
"Collapse!" he shouted quickly, catching Ayumis attention.
"Excuse me!?"
"Collapsing, spirits escaping...remembering!" he shouted, random words spilling out of his gaping mouth.
"What the hell? I didn't think you had gotten mental problems Sato-?"
"Please stay!" he begged, struggling to get out of his bed "It's really important! Hinoe told me! Please don't go please!"
Yoshiki let out an exasperated sigh, turning around to his distraught friend. Ayumi suddenly tugged his hand, pulling him back to Satoshi with pleading eyes. Satoshi, of all people, had mentioned her sister. What did he have to do with Hinoe?
"What did Hinoe say to you?" she said slowly staring at Satoshi, her eyes still cold.
"It's a lot to explain, but basically..."
And so Satoshi explained Hinoe's earlier encounter, with multiple tones and gestures to help convince them. Although Ayumi took great interest, Yoshiki was barely listening, he was just watching his pretty girlfriend with admiration, going over in her head how he was so lucky to have her. Unfortunately, he didn't listen to their convasation, and if he had, who knows how he would of reacted.
"I think it would be a good idea if you came over when you are discharged, you know, just so we can talk to Hinoe about it in more detail."
Satoshi nodded, her words seemed to make sense. But he wasn't sure how Yoshiki would react to this. Another guy going over his girlfriends house...In his position, he would be suspicious of something, but Yoshiki wasn't like that was he? Also there was Naomi, what if she didn't like him spending time with the class rep.
"So," came Ayumis voice, cutting through his muddled thoughts, "Next Tuesday after school, meet me by the gates!" He glanced at Yoshiki who was clearly not listening. Yes Tuesday was a good time. Yoshiki had work, and Yuka was going over Satsukis house, so everyone would end up happy. But still, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling about the whole situation.
"Uh...yeah sure."
"Great!" smiled Ayumi, getting out of her seat again, her fingers still entwined around Yoshiki, "Well I hope you get better soon. C'mon Yosh, let's go!"
Yoshiki snapped back to attention, quickly catching up to where she stood at the door with an impatient hand on her hip.
"Yoshiki...see you in school man."
"Hehe...No hard feelings!" And with that, the couple left the classroom quickly, and Satosgi could still hear there happy chatterings amongst themselves. He wished he could have such a cute relationship like Yoshiki and Ayumi, but he wanted it with one particular person. In reality, he'd never actually kissed a girl! He'd hold Yoshiki this awhile back, when they were at his flat playing video games on his old couch.
"Are you kidding me mate?" Yoshiki had commented when Satoshi had told him.
"No! Have you?" He had replied in his defence, changing the focus on his friend.
"Yeah, loads," he mumbled, concentrating on the racing game "But for most of them I was drunk."
That was a typical thing of Yoshiki, always going off the rails. Was that what he had to be like to get Naomi? Or should he just stay the way he was?
"Too many questions!" he murmured to himself, his hands over his ears in frustration.
"Satoshi, buddy!" came Tsu's voice from the doorway, "Your free to go!" Ugh, it was about time he thought, climbing out of bed. It wasn't long before he was changed and ready to go, when Tsu stopped him in the corridor.
"Hey. Do you have a cellphone?"
"Yep sure! Want by number?"
"Yeah that would be great," replied Tsu gratefully, pulling out his own cell phone. Satoshi was filling out the contact information, but paused on 'Full name'.
"Uh, Tsukasa Mikuni," he said quickly, seeing his sudden pause. Satoshis eyes widened in sudden realisation. Tsukasa...? That name...he was sure he had heard it before. He dug deep in his memory, pulling out a certain memory from not long ago. He had gone to visit Ms Yui when she was sick, and in her sleepy daze, she had mistaken him for a Tsukasa, and man in front of him was most likely who she was talking about. Tsukasa Mikuni.
"Thanks!" he said, before walking off into the direction of the office, his hands in his pockets. This morning had been very eventful, and it was time to make the afternoon the same.
Naomi stared up at the annoyingly dull shade of brown on the ceiling, wishing she was back home. Sundays were the worst day for her, because at 10 o clock sharp, was the weekly trip to the...ugh, therapist. It made her stomach uneasy just thinking about it, and she felt even worse when she was actually there. Being concealed in a tiny room with a freaky stranger wasn't exactly fun, for Naomi anyway. The only reason why she had to go her, was her mother. After retiring from the Heavenly host, her mother was convinced that her poor daughter was having hallucinations, I mean, she was crying for dead friends that had never existed! Even though Naomi and her only parent were close, her mother still couldn't believe everything her distressed daughter had said when she had stumbled home, a couple of days after she had gone missing. She had called the therapist first thing, despite Naomi still going to school afterwards, and she had been going to that hellish place ever since. They asked the same old questions every time, such as, how long have you been having these visions, and how do you feel? You know what, she had no idea how she felt, and found that it was stupid that they of all people wanted to know.
"What was her name, again?" asked the stern therapist, squinting at her with pitiful eyes.
"Seiko Shinohara. She was in my class, 2-9!"
The therapist sighed at her, shaking her ugly grey curls.
"FORGODSAKE, EVEN ASK SATOSHI! SEIKO DID EXSIST!"
Suddenly Naomi started sobbing uncontrollable tears like it was the end of the world and the freaked out therapist left the room quickly. Naomi didnt understand what was happening to her, it was such a strange phemonenon. She then began to question herself, maybe after all she was going mad! Or was she depressed? All those people she had witnessed losing their minds in Heavenly Host, was she going to turn up like them? Her mother burst into the room, a heavvily concerned look in her startled eyes. She held her daughter close, trying to console her, but in vain.
"What's WRONG with me!" She cried, addressing the therapist.
"You could be slightly depressed, but...Ms Nakashima id advise not coming her for awhile, let your daughter calm down."
Naomis mother started at the therapist with new born hatred.
"Your as right as hell that I'm never coming back! Your supposed to help her, not make her cry!"
And with that she stormed out of the room, her daughter trailing behind her and drove straight home. She had just been trying to help Naomi, but this strategy was clearly going no where. As soon as they returned home, she put Naomi on her bed, tears still in her eyes.
"Darling, I'm so, so, sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Naomi nodded. She needed someone close to come over and comfort her, besides her mother. Ayumi was out of the question, she herself had excitedly told her that she was staying over Yoshikis. That also crossed out Yoshiki, for the same reason, and Naomi didn't really find him that comforting. That left one person, and he was first choice.
"Satoshi...Mum I want Satoshi!"
