Sorry for the long wait! I guess we have one more chapter to go :P
I'm doing whole new (three) series and a spin-off for my own story, A 'Stuffed' Week
Hope you enjoy!
"How are we gonna sneak in?" Ayumi asked. "The door is locked!"
"Hmm... Do you have a hairpin?" Yoshiki asked.
"Yea, I think. Here."
Yoshiki began lock-picking the door. Then there was a clicking sound. Yoshiki opened the unlocked door.
"Yoshiki! How are you so experienced at this? Have you stole before?"
"N-No! Of course not! It was just...my luck."
Ayumi narrowed her eyes. Yoshiki waved his hands, gesturing he was innocent. They walked down the hallways of the school.
"I have school on Monday dammit."
"Heh, I don't go to school anymore."
"Jerk!" She pouted.
Yoshiki took that moment as his chance and quickly kissed her, leaving Ayumi flustered.
"Hey!" Ayumi said, running to Yoshiki.
"Sorry, couldn't help it." He chuckled.
"Oh look, we're here!" She exclaimed.
"Doesn't seem really special."
"I know...but I'll still explain," she said. "You were getting accused by a gym teacher...called Tsubota of smoking. I saw you guys and the teacher was saying mean things to you. And you were about to hit him, but I stopped you by calling the teacher. I sent him to the principle's office and told you to just...endure for three years and graduate. That's the first time we met. On first grade."
"Were we in the same class?"
"No. But we were in second."
"I wonder what affected me so much," he said. "Why did I even smoke back then?"
"I guess your environment..."
"Environment?"
"You know..." It was a hard topic to bring up. "Family troubles..."
Yoshiki realized he was disowned by his parents back then. He remembered it when he found the paper piece, but so much things has happened so he didn't really mind.
"Oh..."
"What are you going to...do with them now?"
"I'll just pretend I don't remember. I don't want to be separated from Miki again."
"Sounds fine," Ayumi smiled. "Uhh, shall we continue?"
Ayumi looked a little nervous. Yoshiki smirked and abruptly pulled her waist close to him.
"Ah!" Ayumi exclaimed.
"We shall." He said, smiling.
He smashed his lips into hers, making her gasp a bit. Soon their lips moved, warming each other. His tongue slightly licked Ayumi's bottom lip, pleading for entrance. Ayumi pushed back for the first, just to tease him. Then Yoshiki got a little more forceful, so Ayumi let him in. Yoshiki tasted her mouth while Ayumi did the same with his. Their tongue wrapped around each other and rolled. Yoshiki felt something flowing in her head along with pleasure. A familiar but new thing. It was his memories. The memories of him falling in love with her and him always sticking around Ayumi. They stopped kissing, panting.
"I... remember now..."
"You do?" She said, looking up while hugging him.
"Yea...I understand now..." Yoshiki said. "You came in as my savior, then turned into my last hope, huh..."
"You are for me too." Ayumi said, hugging him tightly.
"I promise I'll never leave you."
Ayumi just hugged him tighter. Ayumi wanted to promise that too, but she knew it was impossible.
"Let's head back." Ayumi said.
"To my place?" Yoshiki said, teasingly. "If you know what I mean."
"Dammit, you!"
Yoshiki chuckled and held Ayumi's shoulder, making her closer to him.
"Let's go."
Yoshiki and Ayumi were in a car.
"Where are we going?"
"I told you, to my place."
"But your apartment is-"
"My current residency."
Ayumi gulped in nervousness. Yoshiki chuckled.
"Don't worry, my parents won't mind. Miki will introduce you."
The car stopped, and the two got out of the car to see a huge house. It seemed like a mansion.
"Welcome back, sir." The guards said.
"Tell Miki I brought a guest."
"Ok, sir." The guards went in. Miki soon came out.
"Hey, bro! Oh, hello, Miss Shinozaki."
"Hello Miki." Ayumi smiled.
"Welcome in!"
Ayumi stepped in the huge mansion, seeing a modernistic and beautiful interior.
"Wow! Yoshiki, you live here?"
"Heh, yea." Yoshiki chuckled.
Two people are walking towards them.
"Hello, young lady." The female said.
"Ayumi, this is my mother." Yoshiki said. "Mom, this is Shinozaki Ayumi, my girlfriend."
"Nice to meet you." Ayumi said.
"Me too." She smiled.
"Your girlfriend?" Yoshiki's father asks.
"Yes. I love her with my whole heart."
Ayumi blushes a bit by his comment.
"She better not be a gold digger." He said coldly, leaving.
"Don't mind him. He's always like that." Yoshiki whispered.
They talk with Yoshiki's mother for a while and went to Yoshiki's room.
"Ayumi," he said. "I'm so glad we'll be together forever now."
Ayumi flinched a little by the word, 'forever'. But she decides to slightly nod.
They chat for a while.
"Can you tell me what happened to you on that year? More specifically?"
"All I did was literally study," he chuckled. "I went through shit, even if I didn't mind."
"At least you caught up with your studies," she smiled. "You'll get the highest grades if you were in school."
"I won't be going back though."
"But how about our friends?"
"I have work to do. I can meet them outside," he said, smiling. "What did you do?"
"I had a pretty normal, but a little depressing life after you were gone... But I deserved it. It was my fault that you got into all this."
"God, how many times do I have to say? Don't blame on you! It doesn't matter now. The present is what all matters."
"Thanks..." She smiled weakly.
A while later, Ayumi was at Yoshiki's computer, doing her own thing. Yoshiki got bored and went through Ayumi's little purse thing. He found a small diary.
"Hey, what's this?"
Ayumi turns around, and gasps.
"NO! DON'T-"
Too late. Yoshiki began flipping through pages of her depressing diary.
"Ayumi..," he said. "You've been torturing yourself with this?"
"I just wanted to remember you...and I really didn't have any pictures of you, nor I had fun experiences with you to remind my self in the first place..."
Ayumi sighed. Yoshiki was right about what matters is the present, but past kept striking whenever it could.
'I have to give Yoshiki the best days, so anything like this won't happen to him,' she thought.
It was already late. Ayumi couldn't believe she had one day left, but she decided to enjoy what was left for her life. Yoshiki looked at Ayumi, who looked down, and kissed her.
"Still thinking about that?" He said. Ayumi didn't answer. Yoshiki suddenly smiles.
"Well I won't let you think about it." He smirked. He grabbed Ayumi and started kissing her neck. Ayumi gasped. He chuckled at her reaction. Then he stood up and went near the door. He placed his hand on a light switch.
"I won't let you think about it even once for tonight."
Yoshiki turned off the switch, locked the door, and grabbed Ayumi before starting to kiss her passionately. They stared at each other, full of love and a bit of lust, and laid their bodies on bed.
(( A.N. Sorry guys! I'm not going to write the sexy part. First, I don't know how to write it, and second, writing this part is hard for me. The kissing part is even hard for me since I really don't know how it feels and shit. I'm not planning on writing lemons in the future neither. Well, sorry for your disappointment, but please continue! (If you want to write for me I'll be glad xD)))
Yoshiki wakes up and kisses Ayumi's forehead.
"Good morning Ayumi."
"Mmm...Good morning."
"What do you want to do today?"
"Let's go on a proper date..."
"Amusement park?"
Ayumi nodded.
"I'll bring us breakfast."
Yoshiki said, sitting up. His abs could be seen.
"No..don't go..."
Yoshiki chuckled. "Heheh, I'll be right back."
He starts wearing a simple shirt and his pants, and gets out of the room. Ayumi is still cuddling in bed.
After they get breakfast, they go outside. They drive to an amusement park and play there.
"Are you good with the rides?"
"You bet I am!" She exclaimed.
After they're done playing, they grab lunch and watches a movie. It was early evening, and Ayumi became really nervous.
"Ayumi, you look worried."
"Hmm? Oh, no, it's nothing."
"You're hiding something. Tell me."
"It's really not!"
"Stop lying! I can see it on your face."
Ayumi felt her face heating up while her eyes became watered up.
"Ayumi!" Yoshiki said worriedly, hugging her.
"I'm s-sorry I lied." Ayumi sniffled. "I have to leave soon."
"Where? I'll go with you."
"No! It's literally impossible to!"
'You can't go to Eiko with me! She'll just kill you!" She thought.
"Please, tell me what happened."
"No! Then you won't let me go."
"Please..."
Ayumi couldn't back away now. She knew Yoshiki was too stubborn to back up.
"I...I made a deal with...her..."
"What?!"
"When you went in coma...she said it'll be impossible to get out..." Ayumi cried. "And you would die soon since the hospital said they'll be treating you for only a few weeks...then you'll starve to death..."
"But-"
"I didn't want you to die! You deserved to live! So she traded your life back with mine..."
"She's taking your life away?!" Yoshiki exclaimed. "I can't let her do that!"
"No! I have to do this!"
"If you die, I'm dying with you!" He yelled.
"Please! I'm not dying. My soul will be just taken away and my body will make another me to live in!
"But that won't be same as you, will it?!"
"It'll be similar! She'll love you too! Think of it as me but without any memory!"
"What will happen to YOU then? I know Shinuki won't do anything good with you!"
"What am I supposed to do then? Let her take both of our souls? NEVER!" She shouted. She broke Yoshiki's grasp and ran away.
"AYUMI!"
He saw her taking a cab. He hurriedly took his car and trued to follow her cab, but he missed it.
"DAMMIT!" He punched the handle. "WHY DOES EVERYTHING GO BAD FOR ME?! WHY CAN'T I LIVE A HAPPY LIFE WITH HER?! WHY?!"
Ayumi ran out of the cab. She was in front of Eiko's office. She opened the door.
"Ah, Ayumi. I see you just made it in time." She smiled.
"You disgust me..."
She chuckled.
"I'm so sorry, but I really could use a good psychic blood like yours! Now, if you'll follow me."
Eiko opened up a secret entrance behind a bookshelf. The chamber inside looked like a part of a ruins of an old temple.
"Let's start the ritual shall we?"
Ayumi doesn't answer.
"You have to have a calm soul. It'll hurt if you are uneasy." She said with her eerie but soothing voice.
"So," she said, standing near Ayumi. "Did you have fun times with Kishinuma?"
"Yes..."
"Good. That'll be the moment he'll remember with you the most. Well, at least with your soul," she said. "Be happy for him! He's finally going to have a happy life...with an alternate version of you."
"Yes... I must..." She sighed.
"I won't let you do the dirty work. You get to do the high quality work along with other psychic souls! I have plenty of other souls yo do the dirty work."
"How many...do you have?"
"Hmm? Oh, about 4 psychic souls. Really bothers me since I need the max number of 5. And 5 normal souls." She said so simply. "I finally get to have another psychic soul! You'll be the strongest of them, I bet."
Ayumi was half listening. She was concerned about Yoshiki.
"I couldn't give him a proper goodbye..."
"You'll get to see him since I'll let you float around when you aren't working for me."
Eiko started setting up. She retrieved her spell book.
"You are one lucky girl, Ayumi. Kishinuma doesn't really have interest in girls other than you." Eiko said. "It'd be great to have a boyfriend like that. But you know, I'm dead."
"If only I knew sooner..."
Eiko stood a little back from her. Her hands started glowing white.
"Yes, Ayumi," she grinned. "Blame you and your stupidity."
A white light started approaching Ayumi, slowly.
Ayumi closed her eyes, waiting to get her soul ripped off. She could only hear things.
There were light whooshing sound and almost inaudible buzzing sounds coming from the lights of her doom.
Then she heard:
Step
Step
Cling!
She opened her eyes to see what was happening, but she only saw white flash.
