A/N: Hiya guys! Sorry for the 2-day delay, my mom was nagging the laptop all to herself D: Anyways, I'll start making longer chapters considering that I am free and I'll try and get daily uploads depending on my situations and stuff. Pay Senpai's Boo a visit! She's a great writer! I swear, after this story was done, I will make Ayu-Shiki drabbles and try to live up my expectations such as his w Anyways, here's Chapter 2!
P/S: I wanna mimic how funny and good Senpai's Boo can write QAQ so I decided to have a little go on a little tracing, such as her sequences and sometimes emojis and stuffles. Credits to her!
Tetsuya P.O.V
Where am I? I muttered as I was awake naturally, not knowing where I am. This… was the school that my dreams took place, at least the last dream I had took place here; it gave me a shiver when I stood on my feet. It's as if thousands of souls are calling out to me, hoping me to wallow in despair. I walked on and I saw… Naho, standing there over and looking at the walls; she seemed soulless and I was scared. "Naho?" The girl looked at me with terrifying eyes and leaped towards me in surprise, her eyes with the sole intent of murder as I yelled loudly— "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" That was the moment where I knew I screwed up badly as I yelled out in class, attracting everyone's attention. Haruyuki gave me a 'wtf man gg' look and everyone held in laughs towards me. "Tetsuya-kun, would you mind to solve these equations for me that you apparently got the answers from your dream?" …Well, even the teacher mocked me; I guess I need to cover my mistakes up by answering the questions accordingly.
*Class bells rings as the first-half period of the day was over.*
During recess, I sat with Haruyuki that insisted to sit with Naho and Sayaka's gang. I sure wonder when Haruyuki will learn to be less forceful compared to how he acts now, the punch earlier than he got was really painful from physical anticipation… "Hoshikawa-kun, have you brought your own food today?" Haruyuki called out for me and took out his own bento, revealing fried rice inside. "I'm soooooo gonna share my food with my dear Sayaka~" Sayaka had a face of expressing disgust and just yelled at her with that 'Baka-inu (stupid dog)' name again as I covered my ears, not wanting to listen to their argument. Naho was ignoring them too, and I smiled a little as we both had something in common. "Stop it, you stupid dog!" Sayaka scored a crotch kick towards Haruyuki, and walked off with a huff. Naho snickered silently; covering her mouth as she took pity on my friend. I can't exactly hold it in and laughed loudly. "Hahahahah! Oh god, I can't breathe!" Haruyuki was clutching his crotch as he kneeled down, squealing in pain.
Laughing so much that I had to lay down my face into my arms, I saw Haruyuki's obento. I bet his parents made him this… "Hey, Hoshikawa-kun?" He waved at me to get my attention as I flinched violently, snapping back to reality to turn my head to face his. Wait, what? Did he recover from a fatal crotch hit that fast? "A-aaah! I'm okay!" I took out some sandwiches and was going to open my lips to start eating, yet I noticed that Naho apparently doesn't have any food to eat. Although I was afraid that one day she will end up like how she is in the dream, yet my heart doesn't allow such cowardice to take over my mind. "N-Naho! Here!" Naho, Sayaka and Haruyuki flinched at me since I was raising my tone as I offered her the two sole sandwiches I've had.
"Why are you passing your food to me? You know those are the only thing you're gonna get until the class ends, not mentioning that you have extra club activities, right?" Naho asked with a concerned tone, yet composed in the same time. "I'll be fine. I'm gonna head to the Kendo club gathering earlier, meet me later Inumaru-kun." I grabbed my back and walked towards the area of the gathering was supposed to be, leaving them behind; it was a nerve-wracking attempt to offer a girl something to me. "You're Hoshikawa-kun, yes?" The man with the uniform asked me, a student identity form in hand while trying to identify me from my photo that was given by me. I nodded vigorously as they offered me an uniform for the club to change to, I sure didn't waste any time rushing to the changing room and hurried myself to change into the uniform. All set. I was with the gathering they had and went to do warm-ups, I joined in the fray immediately too.
"Tetsuya-kun, wanna spar?" A senior member asked me as he was already in the armour set, I can't refuse if he went all the way to wear the armour set and had already prepared, well… I am nervous and I'm just a new member, after all. "S-Sure… go easy on me." I had my wooded sword prepared and I was focused, my mind and the sword are one. The announcement of the match had already started, and I didn't waste any time to attack. My senior's blows were fierce, yet one-sided and I can parry them all with accurate timing. I lowered myself to defensive first before I decided to attack suddenly after a timed parry and knocked his wooden sword away. "Whoa…" Everyone was amazed at my skills, considering that I am a freshman in this club; thanks to my old neighborhood back in my apartment nearby Kisaragi taught me everything I would need to know, I left surpassing my old master as well. I suuuuuure wonder how is he right now.
*After a bit of walking later*
Haruyuki came after we finished the trainings tasked and dispersed, and everyone was on their way home already. "Bruh, where did ya go?" I asked Haruyuki with a friendly and buddy-ish tone, looking at him as I wiped my sweat. "I was talking with Naho and Sayaka, apparently we're getting to her house for some occult activities~" Wait… what? I halted my hands from wiping my sweat. Occult, wasn't that the subject Kibiki, the man that offered me a place when I fainted two days ago brought up? I'm guessing… the address he wrote me was Naho's house, and we gather there for any information. Seems like I was right, as we arrived at the doorstep, I can already see Naho and Sayaka's school shoes place neatly on the shoe rack. "My-Sayaka~ how are you—"He said with a delaying tone as he entered the room, and a vase flew at his direction. "Son of a fahk!" I pushed Haruyuki aside and caught the vase. That was close. "Thanks, Hoshikawa-kun." We had a fist bump and I sat down on the couch, waiting for Kou's arrival. Naho and Sayaka is there, too; so we sat down for a little and waited together.
This is what I can roughly describe when we were waiting for Kibiki-sensei to come.
Tetsuya: o,o;; Naho: o-o;;
Haruyuki: /(OWO(#)/ Sayaka: DX *LOADSGUN*
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting, I'll get to the point today." Kou had a bunch of papers in his hand and walked in the living room. "So we found out about this- The Sachiko Ever After charm. The char, according to Naho, can take us to Heavenly Host Elementary School; which was taken down and apparently existed in another nexus." Quite a nice finding, I must say! I listened on as Kibiki continued describing the details. "We will go there together tomorrow after school and we'll try to find whatever we can write. I'm getting a feeling that these findings will get me the recognition I deserve soon…" I was a little worried, this sounds a little too superstition-ish for me, if I were to go there, I think I need to bring some extra food and water- Oh! And probably the two amulets that my father left me, who knows what'll happen in a place that roams with spirits… atleast, I can cut spider webs with the blade?
Everyone was chattering about their activities and possible findings, while Naho was assembling the documents that she's taken from observation. I went to her side and looked at her, wondering if she needed any help from me as I tried picking up and took a few clups to organize the files that were tattered on the table thoroughly. "Thank you." Naho said in a soft voice which made me smile at her in a 'c:' pattern and I looked through an article of three kids going missing. To avoid confusion, I'm going to remember their first names. To avoid confusion, I'm going to remember their first names. Ryou, Tokiko and Yuki. Aw crap, I took my eyes off a little and Haruyuki got his crotch kicked god-knows-how-many times… I chuckled along as Haruyuki joked in an attempt to flirt with Sayaka, continuing my work with Naho.
I sure wonder what happened in that elementary school and it gave me chills when I think that there is a chance that the elementary school in my dreams was the same as the one Kibiki mentioned. I might have to be well-prepared; this isn't really easy as it seems to be. I went home shortly after with my own worries about our safety and I didn't hesitate to pack up some extra stuff I might need to use later on. Extra water… food… and also some towels. I got my two katana's in the guitar case I bought earlier on in the store, what's the time now? 8:30PM… Guess club activities made me lost track of time, I need to get prepared and go to sleep earlier today since tomorrow will be a long day before we get to do that charm and investigate more about this elementary school. What's this throbbing feeling inside me…? Well, I guess I gotta go pack up an extra bag for all this, my school bag will never get these fit in. I went to sleep at 9:00PM, I calculated that I had at least 7 hours of sleep before school as my mind was confuzzled and I slept without myself noticing.
I arrived at the Elementary School again. I'm dreaming, aren't I? I looked around me and sensed the hatred again, yet this time, I saw three figures. I walked in front to only see Sayaka that ended up dead, she seemed to be killed by a blunt instrument, and the wounds were severely cracked open. I vomited, to only see that black ooze coming out of my body. "K-Kyaaah!" Just when I kneeled down and trying to not give in to the aura, Naho was getting consumed by the ooze as well as her eyes became soulless and proceeded to… No, no! Kibiki, run away! RUN! Right in my eyes, Kibiki's neck was snapped by Naho, and Naho died after succumbing to the aura. "This isn't happening! No!" I fell down from my bed all of a sudden, groaning in pain as my head went touching the ground first.
"Was it a bad dream again…?" I rolled back onto the bed and dozed off to sleep, since it was 3 in the morning.
I woke up at 6, immediately going to the toilet and vomited a lot due to the nausea caused by the dream. It made me feel like I am being torned apart, and my body could no longer heed my mind for the past 2 hours of sleep, it made me feel extremely uncomfortable as I regained my posture and wiped the puke off my lips with a towel. "I need to get to school… What a pain!" I hurried myself to bath and change into my uniform. I walked to the school alone this time, causing me to be a little fearful and paranoid of what could happen to Naho, Sayaka and Haruyuki. Of course, I worried for Kou's condition too, seeing he getting his neck snapped by Naho really didn't convince me that he will be alright. I quickened my footsteps to only see the school door closed, and the security guard told me that school is closed today due to some events that apparently cannot be given details. What is happening…?
I went to Naho's home straight after that, to only see them waiting for me as they looked at me with a serious expression on each of their faces, especially Naho with a sad expression. "Hoshikawa-kun, Kibiki-sensei had ran off to Heavenly Host along with his assistant, Taguchi."
A/N: Ooooh! Seems like his dreams were hinted at something after all! Seeya guys next episode! :D
