Chapter 7- Delevopment
Harada, Riku POV Time- ?
I woke up with a start as the alarm rang. I sat up quickly and saw the time- 5:45. It was early. I was supposed to go to practice, I remembered. I got up groggily. I don't want to go to school today.
Time- 4: 17 PM
Practice is finally finished! I lay down on the grass instead of going with the others to shower and change. I just didn't feel like doing anything. I just wanted… to think. The voice continued to ring in my head. The voices haunt me even when my eyes are opened and the sun is out. As soon as I wanted to ask Risa, I already knew, somehow, in some way, she already. She was with me. I don't know how that was possible but she was there too.
I sighed. This was getting too complicated for me. But I have a feeling that it was going to get even more complicated than anyone can believe.
I got up, but just as I started to head over to the shower rooms, a voice called out to me. "Hey…"
A chill ran down my spine as I heard the voice. I have never heard anything like it. I quickly turned and saw that it was… Hayashi-san. She walked over to me, emotionless as ever, and stood in front of me.
I laughed nervously and asked, "Did you call me or something?" I really hope it was or something.
She acknowledged my voice and said, "Yes."
There it was again; the chill that ran down my back. I hid it as best I can and ask, "Well, what do you need? And you're finally talking!" That last sentence popped out of my mouth before I realized it. It is true, I thought. This is the first time I actually heard her voice.
She watched me as she thought of an answer. It looks like she didn't really expect herself to talk. I smiled at her and said, "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad that you're talking to me, well kind of."
She thought about it and said, "Do you want to get something to eat?"
It was a short sentence but that was the longest I heard her talk before. I smiled even more and said, "Sure! Can the others come too? I bet they would love hanging with you."
She nodded and said, "Yes."
I smiled and said, "Okay then. You can come with me if you want."
She didn't reply but I knew that she would be a person of a few words. I smiled and turned around. I started to walk and hear a second pair of feet follow me. I glanced behind me and saw that she was really following. I smiled and faced forward, but my smile disappeared as I remembered what she had said just a day or two ago. I wish you didn't have to get involved with this. I'm sorry. After hearing this, I had that feeling of regret, trying to get close to her. But… that dream changes everything.
What if that dream was a foreshadowing dream? What if that really does happen? What if that really was her? What if… those questions will not answer themselves, nor will I get the answers anytime soon. This I know. I don't turn to her but I think, We HAVE to get close to her. No way out. We do this or someone is going to die. Not only her, but for everyone too.
Hiwatari, Satoshi POV Time- 4:30 PM
When I heard that I was to hang out with everyone, I definitely did not expect Hayashi-san to be included with "everyone". I watched her from my peripheral vision as she sat across the table from me. Everyone, as in Riku, Risa, Daisuke, and Hayashi-san, has gotten a booth table with three ends. It does sound odd but it is very convenient. Daisuke sat with Riku to my right, as Risa sat next to me on my left. We were at a new café that was built just recently and the girls wanted to try the food out. They tagged us along and Hayashi-san just followed, just like Riku have told her to do.
At the moment, everyone but Hayashi-san is engaged in a big conversation that I have lost track in. I managed to stay in the conversation but I noticed that Daisuke realized that I was not really paying attention so he focused mostly on the girls. I sent him my thanks using our mind powers, AKA telepathy or more likely mind reading, and continued to watch her questionably. Why was she here? Why did she want to hang out with us? Why did all of these things happen all at once? I know that if I ask her, she is most likely to not say a thing. But, I was going to take that chance later today, seeing that there could be listening ears into our conversations.
The waitress came in a uniformed t-shirt and apron just then. "Welcome to Oichii Café. I will be your waitress today. How are you all today?"
Everyone answered the question in their own way, though Hayashi-san just nodded. The waitress smiled towards both Daisuke and me, though probably thinking that she could flirt with the customers. "Okay, so what would you all like to have today?"
Riku went first, "Well, I would like an apple tart. How about you guys?"
Daisuke went next, "I guess I will get the strawberry tart."
And Risa after that, "I would loooove for a strawberry parfait."
"A tiramisu cake would be nice," I said.
We all turned to Hayashi-san, who was still looking at the menu. Riku smiled and said, "Go on, choose what you want. We will be paying for it anyways. You don't have to pay for it."
She looked at Riku and nodded before turning to the waitress and said, "Key Lime tart, please." Her voiced shocked us all besides the waitress and Riku, who have already heard her voice beforehand. Her voice sounded delicate. It sounded elegant and beautiful. HER VOICE WAS IN THAT DREAM! I quickly turned my head to Risa, as did Daisuke. It seems that I am not the only one out of the loop.
"Okay, so that was an apple tart, a strawberry tart, a strawberry parfait, a tiramisu cake, and a key lime tart. Is that all?"
We all nodded and she thanked us, taking the menus and said, "Your pastries will be here in just a few minutes. Be right back!" She winked at the two of us and walked away, making sure to swing her hip seductively, with was not working for any of us.
Risa sighed in annoyance and said, "I hate her."
I chuckled. "Don't you have to know her to hate her?
Risa huffed and crossed her arms. "Of course not! You only need to see them or have a conversation with them and you will know then if you like them or not."
Riku laughed and said, "I always wondered why you are the most loved girl at this school."
Daisuke laughed and said, "Well, I can come up with a couple of reasons."
Risa didn't reply as she huffed. Riku and Daisuke laughed as I chuckled as she showed her childish side. That was probably one of the reasons he came up with. I glanced at Hayashi-san as we continued to laugh. I focused on her mind as I tried to reach out to it. She looked directly at me and slightly raised her eyebrow. "Yes?"
I just smiled and did not say anything. The waitress came back and placed the pastries in front of everyone, while making sure to show her cleavage as she bent down. I sighed. She straightened back and smiled. "Is there anything else you need?"
Risa smiled at her and turned into me. I raised my eyebrow and she placed her lips onto mine. I did not pull back kissed her back a bit before she pulled back. She blushed a bit and turned to the waitress. "I need you to stop flirting with my and my sister's boyfriend."
The girl looked in shock a bit before smiling, trying to cover her obvious annoyance. She apologized as she walked, or stomped for a better word, away. Riku smiled and said, "Good job sis!"
She blushed even more but did not say anything. Riku gave her a questioned look but she also did not say anything. I smiled, loving how it became so quiet. I looked over to Hayashi-san as she watched us. I raised an eyebrow and everyone noticed that she has not taken a bite.
Riku tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to eat?"
She looked at Riku directly and said, "Now?"
Risa looked confused and said, "What do you mean now? You could eat it once you get it. Isn't that normal?"
When she did not say anything, I looked at Daisuke and "told him", See if she will say anything.
He nodded and turned to her. "Do you not do that or something?" She did not say anything but she shook her head after thinking about it. "Do you wait until everyone else start eating before you eat?" She did not do anything. Daisuke thought a bit before asking, though he was hesitating about it. "Do you… do you eat after everyone finishes eating?" She nodded without hesitation. Before anyone else said anything, Daisuke asked another question. "Do you get enough to eat?" Nothing. "Do you eat after it gets cold?" She nods. "Do you eat alone?" She nods again. He hesitated to ask the next question. "Is this the first time that you remember that you are eating with people that you trust?" Her face became blank. "Do… do you even trust us?" The table became tense as we watched her, waiting for her answer. Moments have passed before she replied.
"Yes. I do trust you all," she replied. She picked up a fork, sliced a piece of her tart onto her fork, and ate it.
Normal POV Time- 12:08 AM
I lay in bed, thinking about today. Why did I say that I trust them?
But you do… we do.
I got up and walked out my door, not dropping my guard down. I made sure that no one saw me as I walked quietly outside. I looked to the sky and watched as the moon filled the sky. I moved to the tall tree that goes to the roof and jumped up branch by branch until I reached the top.
I reached into the hole in the trunk and pulled out a white moon bowl. It was pure white, not a stain in sight. It was hidden under beautiful red maple leaves that I have preserved using a bit of my power, but even then it uses a lot of energy. Time is something that you do not touch. Time is something that you let take course. If you are one of those who play with it or even think you can control it, things will always fall out of place. Doing this not only drained my energy, but it also killed the insects and bugs that have been hiding in these leaves. Messing with time will always have consequences.
I looked up to the full moon, the only time I could use "this" power. I took out the knife that I concealed along with it and took off the cloth covering it. I unsheathed it and watched how it gleamed in the moonlight. It was a dagger with a blade longer than usual and it had a pair of wings carved into it. I placed the bowl in front of me and hovered my arm above it. Holding the dagger above my arm, I quickly swiped the shape end on my skin, breaking skin. I did not react as I watched my blood fill the bowl, reenacting the moon from a new moon to a full moon quickly.
When it is fully filled, I closed my eyes and focused all of my energy into the bowl. I felt the wind move my hair, pulling it behind me. I felt the energy flow from my body to the bowl. The bowl became colder until it became the temperature of ice. I opened my eyes and watched how my blood rippled as an image formed. I watched as it cleared and the wind blew the other way, blowing my black hair in front of me. It was the image of "her". She looked perfect in every way; no blemish in sight, blonde hair that always fell in the right places and eyes of the color of a bright, sapphire blue. Her eyes are the most beautiful feature, compared to my now red eyes. When I use this power, it changes my eye color. What usually is a brown color is now a bright, scarlet red.
She gives me a serious look and said, "Hello again, Fuzen."
I keep my straight face on, wrapped the cloth tightly around my arm to stop the bleeding, and say, "Hello Kibarashi. It has been 28 days."
Well, that brings a conclusion to the chapter. Reviews, ideas. and flames are welcomed. Stealing is not. I will try to post two weeks after this, but if not, as soon as possible. Thanks for reading and see yous again later!
