Anyways hope you enjoy this story!
And hope you guys are okay with my OC, Eiko Shinuki. She's a villain so... I hope it doesnt matter much
Yoshiki was in his room. He was finishing off his work from a new project his father's company was holding. He actually didn't work at home, but he thought he would get his mind off of the things that happened recently by working. The work finished quite quickly since he was an expert at it. Now he didn't have anything to do. He wandered around his room, and saw his closet. He opened it, and a small bag fell out and hit his head.
"Oww..." He groaned. He rubbed his forehead. "What is this bag?"
He opened up the bag, and took out what was inside. Some books about instruments, clothes, and a student ID card fell out. He took a closer look at the ID card.
'Kishinuma, Yoshiki'
There was a picture of him wearing a school uniform. It looked awfully familiar. He found the uniform he used to wear in the pile of old clothes. He tried the jacket on. It was pretty small, but it still fit. He took the picture from the ID card and compared himself.
"Nothing different. Except the youngness in my face." He chuckled.
Then a piece of paper dropped from the student ID card.
It flew down to the ground. He picked it up and examined it.
"This is..."
He was shocked.
"Sachiko Ever After Charm..!"
Ayumi was in her room, drawing. She had improved greatly since his disappearance. She applied to art colleges today. She mostly drew to get Yoshiki off of her mind, which seemed to work for a little bit, but thoughts came back later on.
"Dammit..."
She finished another drawing. She got up from her chair to take a rest.
"It's been a while since I wrote the last entry of my diary..."
It has been a few weeks since the last time she met Yoshiki. She stopped writing her journals too then. She dressed up and went out of her house.
She gasped.
Yoshiki was standing right in front of her.
"We need to talk." He said. He seemed quite angry about something. She nodded nervously and followed him.
"What's... wrong, K-kishinuma..?"
He didn't answer.
"Why?" He finally said. "Why did you apologize?"
Ayumi felt chills through her body. His words were cold.
"No, you don't have to answer. I already know the answer."
'What does he mean..?'
He took out something from the pocket. It was a piece of ripped paper.
"That's-!"
"Do you have a part of this?"
Ayumi was stunned by the shock, but she took her charm out. She always brought it by her side.
"You lied about the group separating. They died. In Heavenly Host."
"You remember?!"
"Yea, I remember, but only up until... The nightmare happened."
"You... Remember... You... Remember!"
Ayumi's eyes were tearing up with happiness. Yoshiki seemed to not care.
"I remember, but so what?"
"What do you mean..?"
"Even if I remember, it doesn't mean I love you like in the past."
"Yoshiki I-"
"STOP CALLING ME BY MY FIRST NAME!"
Ayumi fell tears rolling on her eyes. Yoshiki never treated her this way. He never yelled at her except when they fought... And now.
"I don't want to remember. I just want to keep living like this! I can't remember how I met, nor how I fell for you, but I can remember how I felt about you..."
"I'm sorry I lied to you... I thought you would never believe me..."
"You think that's the point right now? I remember how you treated me. How you always called Mochida when I was always there."
"I know! I made a mistake! I said I'm sorry... I will never forgive myself for what I have done!"
"I almost kissed you on the time you cried. You didn't back away. Do you love me? Or is it just an act from your guilt?"
Ayumi couldn't answer. She didn't know either. She knew she loved him, but she didn't know how she loved him.
"So you don't. That's fine, because I don't either." He smirked. "This memory of mine... It doesn't feel like mine. I feel like I'm in a third person view. And by this view... Your act, was absolutely unforgivable."
"No I do love you! I do! I just don't know how to explain it! And yes, I have done horrible things!"
"Oh you do, huh? Unfortunately for you, I don't give a shit."
"Why are you being so mean?!"
She felt tears dropping fast, forming a puddle on the ground.
"Am I? As much as you were to me?"
"I tried to find you when you went missing... I've searched EVERYWHERE!"
"Did you now? Did you try to find me everyday, with every might? The past me would have done anything to find you if you went missing!" He glared at her. "And you were trying to bring my shitty memory back just because of your selfishness."
"I changed my mind! I wasn't going to do that now! I was going to... Leave... For your own life..."
"How generous of Shinozaki. Actually doing SOMETHING for me." He smirked again. "I feel bad for my past self. How did I even endure that pain? Oh yea, I got shut down since I couldn't handle it. And all of this happened to me just because of one cruel and careless girl."
There was silence except for Ayumi's sniffles and weeps.
"I'm taking my revenge right now, Shinozaki. I know I can do much worse to you, but I think this is enough. Besides, I'm not cruel as YOU are."
He started walking off.
"Yoshiki... I'm so sorry..."
He seemed to pause, but he continued walking again.
'Why did you stop? I deserve worse...' She thought. She wondered how long Yoshiki had held in his tears. She wasn't a good girl who cared about her friends. She was a bad girl who used a boy for protection, and gave hate to him instead of thanking him.
'This is... For the best.' Yoshiki sighed. He had two feelings mixed up together inside him. It was true he viewed himself as third person view... But it didn't mean he couldn't remember how he felt. He regained his emotions too. Gentle, loyal, warmness... His feelings for Ayumi... All returned. A part of him hated Ayumi too though. All her doings. He couldn't bare to watch his pitiful self being pained by a girl. The hatred had to be out somehow.
He felt a weight being lifted from his heart after he yelled at her. But his heart broke when she apologized for the final time.
"I never cried... Huh..." He sighed. He couldn't keep thinking about her sorrowful face, all wet from tears.
"No. I can't forgive her. I won't."
He felt dizzy from all the information that had hit him after he found the charm. His confusion never helped the headache.
"Why can't I remember anything from before that? Ugh..."
He grabbed his forehead in pain.
"So... This Satoshi is the real problem... Seems like everyone likes him right? I wonder what's so special about a regular guy.." He said to himself. "No, I can't make him the one to accuse. It wasn't his fault."
"I wonder if there is a spell or a therapy to completely erase the emotion... Or at least to let go of someone."
Miki had told Yoshiki that a doctor names Shinuki had advised her.
"Let's see if she can help."
"Welcome, Kishinuma." Eiko smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you."
"I've heard a lot about you... But first, let's see what you want."
"I have a hard time letting go of... Things. I need help."
"Ahh, It's about Shinozaki, isn't it?"
"How did you know?"
"She visited here too... She wanted to bring your memory back. Selfish girl. I convinced her to let go though."
"Convince? She's pretty stubborn."
"She is one of the most stubborn people I've met. But, I was able to convince her because of her flaws."
"So... Is there a way? I don't want to talk about her."
"Indeed. I decide the payment on the situation, and for this one, you won't have to pay. It's a very simple job."
"Oh... That's very... Generous of you."
"Do not worry, Kishinuma. I know you can't trust people easily, but I've got no catch. I like to do this... For my own amusement. See her in pain..."
'Pain..? I don't want her to be in pain... Ugh, forget it. Why do I need to care about her anyway?'
"I can sense your conflict inside you, Kishinuma. I'll help you immediately. Come closer."
Eiko touched her cold, transparent hand on his forehead.
"I'll leave it like... Ayumi Shinozaki was just some memories in the past. You'll get some 'nostalgia' sometimes, but it won't hurt you."
Her hand glowed. Yoshiki felt a peaceful feeling flowing through his mind. Seconds later, the glow faded.
"Thank you so much, Ms. Shinuki. You are very kind."
"There is no problem. You may live your happy life now. You only get one, short life. Use it wisely."
Ayumi was crying all day. She couldn't help but weep and mourn. Luckily, her parents weren't home, so they wouldn't bother.
"Why... Yoshiki..."
"You never... Hurt me..."
"But I deserve this..."
"I wished you to remember... But why does it hurt more..?"
"What am I going to do now..?"
"How can I show how much I love you..?"
"He probably doesn't care..."
"Can I just see you for the last time, smiling..?"
"Do I have any pictures of him..?"
She said all these things to herself. If someone saw her, she or he would think she was crazy.
She wiped her wet face. She stood up from her bed, her legs trembling. She got her phone, looked through the photos. She finally found one photo of him. It was a group picture that Morishige sent. It was taken right before the horrific incident.
Yoshiki in the picture was smiling lightly. His warm gaze was shown from his sharp eyes.
"I found it!" Ayumi exclaimed. "Only one though..."
She sat on her table, got her sketchbook and started sketching. She loved his warm gaze and smile. It always cheered her up. She smiled softly when she finished the sketch.
"I love you so much..."
"It was you all along... Maybe I liked you from the start too... But I didn't know myself... I ignored you because you were a delinquent..."
"I'M SO SORRY! I'M SO STUPID!" She shouted, tears bursting out. She really needed someone to rely and lean on.
"Yoshiki always let me lean on him... I can't believe I just threw away the person I needed the most like he was nothing..."
She started coloring the sketch. After it was done, she left a little quote that was more like a message. She kissed the drawing slightly, and laid on her bed. She smiled slightly, thinking about what Yoshiki had done for her... Everywhere. Then she cried herself to sleep.
Dark. Room. Probably Heavenly Host. Locked up. Vision blurry.
"Where..."
"Let go of her, you bastard!"
A tall figure wearing black school uniform was right in front of her. She was being held by something.
"Huh..? Let go!"
It was Yoshikazu, holding her.
"NOOO! LET GOOO!"
"Shinozaki!" Yoshiki charged at the anatomical model, but he was pused back. "MOVE AWAY, ASSHOLE!"
He kept on charging, but he fell back. He was obviously in pain.
"STOP THIS!" Ayumi yelled. "Run away, go! Just leave me! Get out of here!"
Yoshiki didn't listen to her.
"Shinozaki... Don't worry. I'll save you!"
"No! You're bleeding badly! You're going to die if this keeps up! Leave me! I order you as your class rep!" She was desperate for Yoshiki to be safe.
"Cut that class rep crap! I'm not Satoshi... But I'm going to protect you anyways!"
Yoshiki got a gas burner and burnt the anatomical model. The model melted, and Yoshikazu dropped her and left.
She quickly went to him.
"You jerk! You dumbass!" She cried.
"Class rep... Glad to see you in one piece... Heheh..."
She kept crying, punching him, saying 'You dumbass!' Every time. Yoshiki just laughed lightly. She sobbed and hugged him.
"Don't die! Don't die dammit!"
"Alright, alright! Just stop crying already!" He said, patting her back. "Shinozaki, I want to see you smile."
"I love your smiling face most of all."
Then the anatomical model suddenly stood up. It grabbed Yoshiki.
"Run.. Shinozaki! RUNN! RUNNN!
"Nooo... NOOOO... NOOOOOOOO!"
Ayumi woke up, panting. She remembered the anatomical model room, but she never remembered that part.
"Yoshiki... Protected me always..." She sobbed.
"Did that actually happen..?"
She read books about dreams. They may have dreams about their other path of fate.
"Every time... I owe him..." She said. "He even... Said he loved my smile... Even when he was hurt..."
"How much do you care about me..?"
Yoshiki got up from bed. It was about dawn. And he had a nightmare. He was in Heavenly Host, and he was killed by the anatomical model.
"Why do I have to save her even in my dreams..."
He sighed, got changed and went to work. Gladly for him, he didn't think about her when he was working, even when he did, he remembered it as one of his memories. It did feel very nostalgic, though.
"The spell did work after all..."
"Now I can get a move on..."
He sent Ayumi a text message.
'I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. I truly am. But it doesn't hurt anymore. We won't have any problems we bump into each other next time.'
He finally had a happy day. He was glad he regained his peace. He would sometimes drift into his dreams, thinking when he hugged her in the school, when he saved her from drowning, and other times. He felt no pain.
Only
Happiness.
Ayumi's eyes were all swollen from the crying. She managed to get her eyes calmed down, thankfully. Then she got a text message. She read the message, and felt weird.
'Something happened. I need to visit Shinuki again. She knows what happened.'
Shinuki's office was pretty close to her house. She reached there in five minutes.
"Ah, it's you again."
"Could you explain?"
"Explain what?"
"You already know."
"Haha, fine. He came to me and asked me for help, so I did. Done deal, end of story."
"What did he ask for?"
"His emotions to be... Moved on. You know, like nostalgia."
"So this all feels like past to him?"
"Well practically everything IS in the past, but yes."
"Oh... That's not... Bad..."
"Ayumi, you sweet girl. You know it's good for him but you can't give it up! Very similar to Kishinuma, I should say. Your friend, Seiko, had a crush on Naomi but she never confessed. She wanted Naomi to be happy! But you and Kishinuma... Can't let your love go to someone else... Ahh, you guys are the cutest, aren't you?"
"Seiko... What?"
"Never mind that, just some babblin'. It breaks my heart when you guys miss each other so much!"
"But he said that he doesn't love me... And the hatred in his eyes..."
"Oh, my Ayumi, do you still not realize? He can't let go of you. That's why he came to me! He does love you... Well, did. And the hatred is a part of him that... Hates you. It's complicated, if you know what I mean."
"So... He lied?"
"Partly, yes. Ahh, the lovebirds... Always gets my heart tingly! That's a disadvantage I have."
"I thought you didn't have feelings since you are... A sociopath."
"Excuse me, young lady. Sociopaths are varied, you see."
'How did a strong psychic like her become a sociopath..? Maybe she was born like that from the start...'
"Yes, I am a natural sociopath."
"Cheater..."
"Haha. What am I cheating on, life?"
"Basically, yea, with your powers and all..."
"But life got the better of me. I'm dead, remember?"
"O-oh.."
"Anyways, let's get to the topic. Why are you here? Just to ask that?"
"I have other things too... I had a dream... It felt so real, but it never happened."
"Oh yea, I saw. Yoshiki had the same dream with you. Oh, and, sorry, I might have been spying on you guys. But don't worry, I watch over all my visitors."
"Funny..."
"Quite amusing to me, I should say. Maybe it was an aftermath of my spell. I don't know well about dreams, but I can assure you that actually happened... In the other path of your fate."
"Oh..."
"Well excuse me then, I have a business to take care of."
"Huh?"
"Oh yea, you probably know, but when I use my spell, the target gets sick, right?"
"Of course, I am aware of that. That's why you need a sacrifice."
"Your friend didn't seem to realize that."
"WHAT?! Haven't you told him?"
"Why would I?"
"YOU MONSTER!" Ayumi screamed, quickly running out of the office.
Ayumi had to get to Yoshiki. She just had to.
Before it was too late.
