Chapter 11
The group talked about what had happened while they were alone in Soujis room, but the numbers started to dwindle when it reached 2 and 3 in the morning. Souji was just left with Rise when it came to 4 o'clock "I am so sorry I forgot you Senpai, well technically I didn't forget, I just couldn't remember you." Rise apologised
"Isn't that the same thing?" Souji asked confused
"I know it sounds strange but I knew who you were but it was as if I couldn't connect the dots until you saved Nanako." Rise tried to make sense of it all
"Rise don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault, and besides everyone is under the influence of Kyuubi." Souji tried to cheer her up.
"No it isn't ok I loved you, in fact I am pretty sure I still do. You leave a very strong bond Souji one that can never be broken or forgotten, not completely." Rise cheered Souji
"Thanks, I think I feel better now." Souji admitted.
"I am glad Senpai, you know I really did miss you when you left Inaba." Rise admitted
"Believe me when I say that I really missed you as well." Souji assured her
The pair moved closer together and moved to kiss "Sensei, Rise, I am so glad to see you guys" Teddie appeared on the TV.
"It's really good to see you again!" Rise cried out in excitement.
"Thanks for the heads up on the Kyuubi. It means a lot to me that you still help out." Souji showed his appreciation
"Sensei I am so sorry about your parents, I tried to stop them but they were too strong." Teddie apologised
Souji fell silent. "What do you mean they?" Rise asked
"Kyuubi and the other shadow but I don't know a lot about the other, all I know is that it's in the TV world and is after you." Teddie informed the pair.
"Don't worry we stopped the Kyuubi for now!" Souji continued
"Did you cut off all its' tails?. Ok, you have to get rid of all its tails to defeat it otherwise it will keep coming back!" Teddie informed them
There was silence in the room. "Why didn't you contact me before now?" Souji asked
"I tried but I couldn't get through, something or someone was stopping me." Teddie answered
"Come through, Teddie come through the TV." Rise suggested
"He can't!" Souji told her
"Why not, is that other shadow stopping him?" Rise asked
"No, this is a 12 inch TV he is just too big to get through." Souji laughed "So...the house will be fixed tomorrow so if you can get to my house by tomorrow night we can get you there." Souji told him
"Ok, see you tomorrow Sensei." Teddie disappeared
"What do you want to do now that we are alone...?" Rise whispered something into Soujis ear and he began to blush. Rise kissed him on the lips and turned the lights out
"Hey are you awake?" Rise whispered in his ear
"Yeah." Souji got out of bed and got washed and dressed
"Hey you want to go into town?" Rise asked
"Yes I would love too!" Nanako shouted
"I guess we are going to town." Souji laughed
