A/N: Heya guys! Shuura here again! Thanks for the ton of views, and for User: wanna see a trick, I'll try and improve so that the flow of the story won't get bad! Kuudere is basically emotionless, or something like that. Yeah ^^;; Anyways, is the story okay to you guys? I'll be sure to keep improving as I go on.
I somehow thought of something… maybe Naho isn't that much of a kuudere. Maybe she's that teasy kind while being calm, yet can retain happiness? COUGH *TAGUCHITEASING* COUGH gg tetsuya- ANYWAYS! You guys have fun, and enjoy the chapter!
Naho P.O.V
So we proceeded through the staircases and wandered around, looking for trustworthy clues that was able to lead us out of this place. How come this school even became an existence on its own after being torned down, anyway? I started to record what we have found on various posts found in different classrooms, in case that Sayaka and Haruyuki may walk in our paths. I left one in Classroom 2-A, and I left alongside with Tetsuya. He really had a lot of patience for that long wait for me to finish my notes, and I appreciate it… a lot. He sometimes blush faintly when I walk close to her, is something wrong?
"Tetsuya—" Before I was able to call out to him to check on his status, an earthquake occurred. I was afraid, so I held unto Tetsuya's hand for dear life. His cheeks immediately became red and he held unto me as well, my face also turned a little red— Uhh… kinda. Wait, what…? Is it me, or the floorboards, everything has shifted after the earthquake?
"Tetsuya, can you see that…? The landscape changed when the earthquake occurred, the layouts, and our very surroundings itself. I sure hope Haruyuki and Sayaka's okay, but with Haruyuki around I wouldn't be too worried about Sayaka's safety since he will do anything for her. The best thing for me to do is helping them getting out of this place, first!
"Yeah, everything changed when that earthquake happened. The blade tells me that this is a spirit's doing, and it isn't any weak spirit that roams this school." Tetsuya looked around to check if the spirit that had enormous power to change the landscape is around, and ensure the surroundings are safe.
"Whew… luckily nothing showed up, the earthquake took me off guard there for a second." We walked ahead for a little bit, yet I started to feel hungry and all that. Groooooowl. O-Oh, no, my stomach growled at the absolute worst timing ever! My face became red, not sure if Tetsuya actually heard my stomach growling or he heard something else.
"Naho, are you hungry?" Tetsuya stopped to look at me, me lowering my head to avoid his gaze. I slowly nodded after a while, giving in to my hunger. I can't help it! I'm really hungry and all that… We sat down on a classroom and he gave me that sandwich that I am really fond of… He gave me the same sandwich after all on the day we sat and ate together. He's really kind, and I hope we get to leave this place together.
We munched on the food that Tetsuya brought, filling our hunger. Tetsuya's really considerate to bring food and water here, knowing that something really bad would happen. I started to creep closer to him a little, wondering if he ate all his food already. His face literally bursted crimson when I did that. So he's flustered around girls…
"Burp- oops!" I burped quite loudly, catching his attention. I blushed hard when I did that, my nerves betrayed me! D: How could you!? Tetsuya chuckled loudly when he saw me being a flustered mess, and gulped down his food as well.
"Burp." E-Ehh? Did he… do that to- we bursted out in a fit of laughter and chuckles later on, he smiled at me after all that. Okay, maybe he's considerate in many ways, I give him that. Heheh! He felt like Sayaka at this moment, but something feels different.
After packing up the trash, we pushed on forward to the corridors to only find a dead end. We have to find another way to proceed, so I walked with Tetsuya and we eventually arrived at the lavatories section.
"I gotta go to the toilet, you wait here, Saenoki." Tetsuya ran into the stall clumsily, me chuckling at how pure and kind he is. I wonder, what kind of past did he went through to own those tow exorcism tools that was used by exorcists. Did he haul from a family of exorcists?
…Sometime passed, and I sure wonder if something happened to Tetsuya. I went into the boy's room in the lavatory section, and I saw Tetsuya there, washing his hands. "Hoshikawa-kun? What happened, what took so long?"
"Uhh, I have to tell you from the beginning all over again; this happened…"
I went to the toilet, and just wanted to take a simple piss so Naho won't get worried. As I opened one of the doors that leads to a stall, a voice yelled out! SHUT THE GODDAMNED DOOR! I was scared shitless! I slammed the door back, and was panting quickly. I didn't want to get my shit scared out of me like that, ever again. I do wonder if there's any spirits on the other stall, oh wait- yus there's no one in this toilet-
"Yeah, that happened." I tried holding back laughing at him, he did two things which was very funny to me. First, he was scared and totally flustered, how cuuuute! Second, "SHUT THE GODDAMNED DOOR" was literally cracking me up! Was it a lie?
"Pfft, finally the hero gets a scare from the devious monsters after all." I chuckled at my own joke, and snickered a little even if I told myself to stop. His enthusiastic self was shattered, and was blood red on his face. Heheheh! I wonder if he's actually fun to tease like Taguchi.
"H-Hey, I'm not a hero! People get scared at times!" He wiggled his hands in an awfully nervous pattern and tried to assure me that this is normal. His face at that moment was seriously golden, and I smiled widely before walking with him again. I've actually realized that despite my stoic self, I actually liked to talk with Tetsuya. I feel oddly fun when I'm with him, and I also felt relaxed. Yet, I won't allow us to be relaxed just yet. Sensei could be attacked at this very moment, and we will save him and Taguchi; no matter what.
We walked forward for a little, and then I suddenly notice a voice vibrating through my ears… "Chhlme...wifff...mhee..." I freaked out, was it a spirit?! I turned back to only see the spirit from a distance, approaching us as he muttered its sentence over and charging towards us like a zombie-ish manner.
"Naho, run!" Tetsuya ran alongside with me, holding my hand. After god know how many did we walk, we arrived back at the science lab. "Hahhh…" Tetsuya panted, holding his breath and checking his surroundings.
"Why didn't you use your blade on the ghost?" I asked bluntly, fixing my position of my glasses whilst asking him. He could defeat the spirit and grant him an afterlife with the blade; at least, that's what I think. Tetsuya looks heavily distraught and he was holding his head.
"Oooph… I-I think… we need to actually purify their souls without needing to use the blades. We need to find something… something they lost." Tetsuya sat down on a chair, and began to wonder. Wait… the kids got their tongues severed, so I guess it must have been their tongues we need to use as a tool for their appeasement!
"Tetsuya-kun! We need to find the kid spirit's tongues, and successfully appease them! I'll do the appeasing, you do the tongue fetching!" Seriously though, I am afraid of holding bloody stuff like that. I don't really wanna tongue those bloody baggady-stuffies…
"Why me!? D: I don't wanna touch those things!" Tetsuya shook his head and made a face very similar to an emoji used in texts. After a bit of negotiating, he eventually agreed to the deal, albeit a little disappointed to touch gore. I don't want this, either… It's all my fault, I should have never posted that blog and found out anything about the charm at all… Kibiki-sensei, Taguchi, Haruyuki, Sayaka and Tetsuya-kun wouldn't have been dragged into this from the beginning…
"Saenoki? You okay?" Tetsuya looked at me while I started to weep, I resented myself for doing these things to threaten humanity and cause parents to lose their sons or cause other wonderful lives to lose theirs as well… I-I just wanted to make Kibiki-sensei happy… I, I don't actually mean to hurt others, I really don't… I'm worthless…
"Saenoki!" He shook me, though my mouth was no longer in my own control. The darkening that was inside me started to react again, but it just took over my ability to speak… No, stop! I don't want to hurt him! Please, stop! STOP! My painful voice was unheard by the youth, not knowing that I'm not the one speaking anymore.
"Don't you be that goody twoshoes that think that you can be a hero…" I started to speak in an unforgiving tune, the darkening jeering at my comments towards him as I reacted even strongly. "Nobody likes you at all! Who do you think you are a comic book character? What's up with you and that blade, you think you are almighty to have your way with everything you want in life?" Stop…! "You and your fake actions will never be likened by anyone! I know I wouldn't!" I struggled valiantly— yet his face falls dark. "Who the hell do you think you are!" Please, stop it…!
"You—" Tetsuya hugged me, and gave the back of my head a slow pat as he chuckled slowly from all the harsh words she told me. I felt better, and I started to cry because of the mean things that I told him without realizing what I really said. "H-Hoshikawa-kun, I'm sorry…"
"It's nothing, as someone who was a lone child since young, of course I would like to have attention." He smiled widely, yet sadly at the same time. So I accidentally triggered something I wouldn't like to… yet he's so kind to me in every way possible. I felt butterflies flying like crazy in my stomach, my face turning red as my hands wrapped around his waist and I smiled before giving a sigh.
"Thanks, Hoshikawa-kun…" His face was red as well, yet neither of us was trying to release each other from this embrace. After a while though, he was the first one to let go of me first. I smiled and tilted my head, him smiling back too with a red tint on his cheeks. "Let's go together."
Tetsuya P.O.V
Oh, gosh… This feeling when I hugged her was really good, and I was totally embarrassed about this. Yet, it sure feels great to be able to comfort Naho… this special feeling that I had for her will be my drive to move on and protect her from all the deadly threats in this place. Walking on, her hand slipped into mine, and held it tight.
"S-Saenoki!?" My face became crimson the moment her hand touched mine, and I was totally flustered and dropped off guard. She giggled, her face was a little red too and we walked on with her insisting us to hold hands. The walk became really awkward after that, we walked with neither of us trying to speak to each other, since our faces were all red and we both are in a flustered state. Maybe me, since… I'm really shy… and stuffles…
"Call me Naho from now on, okay?" H-Huh? Did she ask me to call her by her first name? W-Wow, this is… um… this feeling inside me was getting stronger… maybe its lo- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO! Maybe… just maybe… after all this hell, I may confess to her, who knows…
"Y-Yeah, call me Tetsuya."
