Momo and Kaidoh were running through halls, stairs, and corridors, finding their senpais.
"Oi Mamushi, I'll go find Echizen while you go find senpai-tachi" said Momo. Kaidoh, without arguing, agreed.
"FSSSHHH! You had better find him quick, baka! And don't get lost!" said Kaidoh as he turns left. Momo ignores the last comment and keep on running.
Momo decided to go to Ryoma's first class. He got inside the classroom and asked the teacher, "Ne, sensei, where's Echizen?"
"You're not supposed to be here! Go back to your class!" shouted the teacher. Momo ignores him and looks directly at Horio.
"Oi! One-eyebrow Freshman!" Momo calls him since he forgot his name. "Where's Echizen?"
Horio ignores the name calling and answered, "He left"
"Where?!"
"I don't know!"
"This way, Momo"
Momo looks behind saw the little girl down the hallway, and she disappears to the right. Without a second, Momo vaults down all the way to the hallway and makes a quick turn to the right but came into contact with someone.
WHAM!!
Momo dizzily sits up and tries to focused his vision. "Hello? Mommy?"
"Ow! Nya! Momo! That hurts!" shouted Eiji as he rubs his forehead where they collided.
"Are you two okay?" the worried Oishi asked as helps Eiji up while Taka helps Momo up.
"Momoshiro, where's Echizen?" Tezuka asked in a demanding tone. Momo regains his posture and said, "I haven't found him yet"
"FSSSHH! Baka, I told you to find him quick but what did you? You ended up getting lost!"
"Damn you, Mamushi! I didn't get lost-"
"Mina! Look!" shouted Fuji as he points at the end of the hallway. Everyone looks and saw the little girl. To the higher senpais, who haven't seen her yet, were shocked. She was covered in blood in her bloody torn dress, looking so much like a dead corpse walking around. To Kaidoh and Momo, it wasn't a surprise.
The little girl silently slips away to the left and the regulars hesitantly followed. Everyone has to keep up while the little girl teleports from one to place to another. A few seconds later, the little girl stops at one place then disappears. The regulars stop and take a brake. Inui took out his notebook and began scribbling.
"91 percent that the little girl stop because Echizen is near and she doesn't want to do anything with it," said Inui.
'NO! NO! NOT AGAIN! NO!' Ryoma screamed mentally as the little girl was being chase again. The same as his dream. He backs away from the roof and was about to run away but then something grabbed his leg. Ryoma look down and saw the corpse of the little girl gawping at him. Her eyes were gone, her body was pale and blue, her skin wrinkly, most of her hair fallen off, and her touch, cold as the winter.
"AAAAAHHH!" Ryoma screamed as he stumbles away from the corpse.
Ryoma groans in pain as he starts to feel his head being hit again, over and over and over and over and over. Each hit that came with immense pain, doubled its power. As he sways, Ryoma felt the cold wall on his back and was about to loose support of it. With all of his might, all he could do was to open his eyes and right in front of him, was the little girl but this little girl was different. She was wearing a dark black dress, her hair darker, thicker, and messier, her skin white and purple, her face like a skull, and her eyes where bright glowing crimson red as her sharp fangs glimmer with a hint of dark liquid.
Ryoma couldn't hold much longer as his vision starts to fade away. The last thing he saw was that dark little girl smiling and the last thing he heard was his name being called.
"ECHIZEN!!"
15 seconds earlier…
Everyone jumped in surprised when they all heard a scream. They look up at the stairs and saw Ryoma swaying as he was holding his head in pain then leans to the wall for support.
"Oi! Echizen! Are you…!!" Momo began to panic and the rest as well. Ryoma starts sliding off the wall then starts rolling down the stairs.
"ECHIZEN!!" screamed the regulars as Ryoma landed hard on the floor. They quickly ran to his side and checked if he's okay.
"Oi! Echizen! Wake up!" shouted Momo.
"Echizen!"
"Echizen!"
"FFSSH! Echizen!"
Tezuka checked his pulse again; it was normally beating. Fuji checks his temperature; the young freshman developed yet another fever but it felt hotter than the last time. Oishi noticed the huge cut right across Ryoma's arm as it starts to bleed fast; the little boy must've scratched it while rolling downstairs. The worried Oishi quickly took out a napkin from his pocket and wipes off the blood. He pressed the wound so that the blood won't come out too fast.
Momo noticed the little girl walking slowly over to them. He felt rage inside of him as he stood up and point at the little girl. The little girl stopped and tilts her head to the side, as she was confused of his action. Momo was shaking terribly as his anger grew.
"You…this is your fault!" shouted Momo. There was a moment of silence; only the lightning and the heavy rain of the storm can be heard. The little girl was appalled by the accusation.
"What do you mean by that?" the little girl asked as she gave him the coldest glare she could but Momo wasn't bothered with it. He was preoccupied of the intense anger inside him.
"If you were never here…this wouldn't have happen to him!" shouted Momo as he showed the little girl how badly hurt Ryoma was. The little girl felt her heart stabbed with guilt and sympathy. Ryoma was conspicuously shivering from the cold, the wound on his forehead was getting worse, and he developed a high fever. All this made the little girl feel worse.
"You could have at least helped him from whatever that was out to get him! Instead, you ran away! I know that he is trying to help you! But could you at least help him? What do you got to say for yourself?" All those words just came out of Momo like a gust of wind from the storm. Everyone, including Kaidoh, was amazed by Momo's words. The little girl hangs her head low as she starts to fade away.
As she fades away she silently said, "…I'm sorry"
This time, Momo felt guilty for actually saying that to a little girl but he couldn't help it. He just wanted to let that little girl know that she have to repay Ryoma back somehow and why not saving his life from a thing that everyone, excluding Ryoma, can't see?
Ryoma, who hasn't loose conscious yet, heard the whole commotion and felt guilty. He doesn't know why he feels guilty, he just does. He mentally notes to himself that he will need to get stronger before drifting off to sleep.
Why am I making 1,000 or more words of a chapter than 900 words of a chapter? Oh well, please review!
