The sun was shining through the window when Nagisa awoke that morning. He looked to the bed next to him, but it was empty. Rei had already made the bed and went somewhere. Nagisa wondered where that could be. It was Golden Week. Rei shouldn't be at school now.

He shrugged it off though and got out of bed. He went to the kitchen to see if there was breakfast, but nobody had prepared anything for him. He then went to the bedrooms to check and see if anyone was there, but no. All beds were empty. It was strange. He thought he noticed Rin and Haruka's bags in the hallway, but it could just have been his imagination.

Back in the kitchen, there was still no trace of anyone or anything, and Nagisa started feeling really worried. What had happened to everyone? Where were they? Did they just leave him all alone?

"Rei-chan?" Nagisa called out the first name that came to mind, the name of the person he wanted to see the most. "Rei-chan, where are you?" he called.

Of course nobody answered. He was all alone. There was nobody who could answer him. This thought upset Nagisa more than he thought it would.

"Come on, it's not funny!" he called through the deserted place. "Where are you?" he stopped. "Don't leave me all alone!" he yelled out in desperation.

Nobody answered. Nagisa's words started echoing through the room, in his head. It started ringing in his ears, an annoying tone that won't stop. 'Don't leave me all alone!' 'Leave me all alone' 'Alone' 'Alone…"

Nagisa sat up, cold sweat running from every part of his body. He looked down and realized he was still in bed. It had all just been a nightmare, a really terrifying nightmare, but a nightmare. None of what had happened in there was real… Or so he thought.

Nagisa took one look around the room to ensure himself that everything was okay and stopped once his gaze landed on Rei's empty bed. Rei had already made his bed and left somewhere. But it was the middle of Golden Week. He shouldn't have school or anything like that.

While making a panicked sound, Nagisa stood up and ran to Makoto's room, only to find that also his bed was empty. He closed the door and ran to Kisumi's room, also his bed was empty. Then he ran to Rin and Haruka's room. Their beds were also both empty and their bags were gone. Had they been there in the dream?

Nagisa then walked to the kitchen to see if they had left a note or something. He was lucky. On the dining table, a white piece of paper was lying. It had been folded once and when Nagisa read the kanji on it, he saw his own name.

He slowly picked up the note and unfolded the paper.

Good morning Nagisa

I have taken Rin and Haru to the airport to see them off. Makoto is at work and Rei has gone somewhere else. I don't know where that is though. There is breakfast for you in the fridge, you can heat it up or leave it cold, whichever you prefer. I'll be back home to keep you company soon, hopefully.

Take care 'til then.

Kisumi

Nagisa felt relief washing over him. He hadn't been left all alone. Kisumi would be back soon. He carefully folded the note and placed it back on the table before heading to the fridge and grabbing the last plate left in there. He also noticed three other plates and three sets of chopsticks by the sink. Rin, Haruka and Kisumi had probably been in a hurry.

Nagisa sat down and ate on his own and washed up both his and the others' dishes once he was finished. He then started thinking of stuff he could do today. He came up with nothing though.

He went back to his room to get dressed while still trying to come up with something to do. There were no homework, no chore, not that he knew of anyway, and Rei had disappeared to somewhere unknown.

While Nagisa was getting dressed, he heard the sound of his phone vibrating. He finished pulling on his shirt and then opened to check the message.

It was from Gou.

Hey, Nagisa-kun

Could we hang out today?

Hana-chan is in Hokkaido with her family and Momotaro-kun is not home either, so I was wondering if the two of us could spend some time together during Golden Week.

Whether it's yes or no, mom and I need help at the shop today, so you should come assist us, please come ASAP

See ya!

Gou

Nagisa nodded at the message. There was no reason for him not to go to the shop and help out Gou. Besides, she was right, it was just the two of them. If he didn't want to be alone, she was his best option right now, and he had a feeling this would prove to be useful in the end.

Therefore Nagisa quickly texted Gou back that he wanted to help out and went to grab a paper and write a quick note to Kisumi.

Kisu-chan

I have gone out to help Gou-chan and Matsuoka-san at their shop.

Nagisa

He wrote Kisumi's name on the note and threw out the note Kisumi had written for him, as it won't get confusing. Then he quickly pulled on his shoes, grabbed his phone and left the house to spend some time with Gou.

I would like to apologize for not updating yesterday. I went to a party almost right after school and therefore didn't have the time to do this.

I'm very grateful that so many has read, favorited, followed and reviewed the story. 4 on both favorite and follow and 3 reviews isn't bad, I appreciate it a lot. It is great support. And seeing as I'm in a caring mood today, I'll hug all who read this A/N!

See you next time
