I was walking to my with my day one TJ "so what we fin to do he wants his money" TJ said with a worried look
"Yo calm down he not going down anything" I smiled
"Wait, whose car is that? Oh! Shit that Debo!" TJ said we both started running
I see my little brother Will "WILL WATCH OUT!" But it was too late. A shot went through his head like nothing and he fell to the ground.
April 14
Just about midnight
I wake up with tears in my eyes. It wasn't a dream, more of a flashback the day I killed my little brother.
When I got up I looked at tv and the midnight came on and a girl but it changed to a black screen I got closer A BlACK GLOP! Some come out of the screen and when in my body my body! I ran in the bathroom and looked in the mirror "ok calm down. Just go back bed"
April 15
HUNGRY "huh! What the fuck was that!" I'm so hungry I open the fridge and grab some eggs.
I tread the stove off I didn't even eat the eggs off the pan I grab the eggs with my hands I stuffed my mouth "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME"
I look at the clock "SHIT" I'm late I grab my uniform and bag I put my durag on and my glasses and run out the house.
Five AM to Early morning
I'm running down the street and I bump into someone "hey! I'm sorry Oh hey Yu"
"Hey! You know how Yosuke and Chie went to Junes yesterday" he looked at me with a serious face." Yeah, why" I smiled.
"You know how I can use my hand when though the tv at house" "Ya" he told me everything that happened at Junes
"So tell me that you guys want in the inside tv Yosuke almost piss his pants and a bear let you out"
"I believe you" l smiled at him
"Anyway apparently there was an accident, my uncle had to leave early so he could go and see what happened."
"What do you think happened?"
Yu just shrugged at me. "I heard some girls gossiping but they just finished when you bumped into him."
"Dude," I smiled brightly, I don't know why, but I felt comfortable enough when I was with Yu and the other. Yet we still had to get to school on time, so I decided to think about it more later when I had the time. "Way to sound like a creeper!"
Yu smiled back. "Hey I'm just a pro!"
Early Morning to Afternoon
There was nothing that really happened today except King Moron's usual rants about… well everything being indecent. Then, just after lunch we were all called into the auditorium for a pepper rally or something, I didn't really hear what it was. I was texting my main man TJ {how Japan}
{good how are you still coming} {I'm going to ask my mom} Chie had to physically poke me to break my concentration. So the entire student body was gathered as well as all the stuff members. Ms. Sofue was standing at the podium in the middle of the stage. Yu was listening in another conversation between gossiping girls, Chie was staring at her phone with great intent, and Yosuke seemed about as down as I was when I woke up. I on the other hand had calmed down after me and Yu walked to school, so I was humming the beat of a song I knew, as Chie put her phone away. "Yukiko said she'd be here after lunch…"
I was standing next to her at the time. "Don't worry; she's probably just helping out her folks."
"I know." She sighed, I could already tell that Chie was kinda protective of Yukiko. It wasn't a bad thing either, sometimes true strength, is knowing when to step in and help someone. Chie turned back so she could see all three of us. "I wonder why they're holding a school assembly all of a sudden."
"Crap!" I recoiled in fake fear now. "They found out that I'm a spy! Oh no!"
Yu started to laugh at my joke, Chie just shook her head, but she was smiling, until she turned to Yosuke. "Hey, what's wrong, Yosuke?"
Yosuke finally looked up for what must have been the most interesting spot on the ground in the whole freaking world, because he just blow off the question. Which was the first indicator that something was wrong, I knew that from experience.
"Oh, it's nothing…" Yosuke looked back to the ground as Ms. Sofue finally started to speak.
"Everyone, please settle down." I was surprised by how many people actually shut up, usually people keep talking because no one gave a crap. "The school assembly is about to begin. First, the Principal has something to say."
Principal was an old man with a white beard and bald spot on his head, he wore a blue robe with a black over coat. Ms. Sofue walked away from the stand so the principal could talk, and what he said finally made me realize what made me so uneasy this morning!
"I…" Not the best start to a speech to begin with! "Regret to say that I have a terrible announcement for all of you."
Now you just scared all the first-years in the crowd, god we the Principal needed so public speaking lesions. "One of our third-year students, Ms. Saki Konishi of Class 3…"
That instantly was able to catch my attention; Saki was Yosuke's friend and crush! I looked at Yosuke and saw all of the emotions that were running through his head; fear, worriment, and sadness. "Has passed away."
That grabbed all four of our attentions! What the fuck was going on!? She looked fine yesterday, now she was dead! Was it the same person that got that announcer? Yosuke suddenly looked like he was going to cry, I couldn't blame him either. The person he had fallen in love with had just dead!
"Miss Konishi was found deceased early this morning…" I knew it, something was wrong this morning! "The reasons behind her passing are currently under investigation by the police. If they ask you for your cooperation, I urge you as students of this school, to provide only the facts."
Everyone started gossiping and talking, but the one emotion that had swept over the whole room was fear! After all, we as humans fear the unknown, it is only natural, still Yosuke was about to break down and I knew it. "All right, please quiet down. I have been assured by the faculty that there's been no evidence that bullying was involved in the incident."
"Just because someone says that doesn't mean there wasn't!" grumbled in English so that no one would understand what I was saying and question me on that.
"So mind what you say, not only to the police but to anyone who ask."
Chie spoke first, she was in complete shock, so was Yu, I was surprised that he even showed the emotion, I could tell it took a lot to faze the guy. "Found dead…? How could this happen…?"
"If I found out anyone bullied her," I clenched my fist. "Even though I didn't know that well, no one deserves this kind of treatment."
Yosuke was out of it for the rest of the address, everyone was, and no one could blame any of us. It was a major shock to found out that someone you even just met once was found dead.
Yosuke had run a head of us as the assembly ended, that left Chie, Yu, and me to try and find him. As we searched we heard two girls gossiping on the first floor of the school, school was pretty much over at this point so people were already leaving too. "She died the same way as that announcer, right? That's so creepy…"
"Well, last time, it was from an antenna, but this time she was hanging from a telephone pole. It's gotta be a serial murder case."
"Someone said the cause of deathp was some unknown poison."
"Unknown…? C'mon, this isn't some sci-fi drama." You never know!
"Oh, by the way, did you hear? Someone saw a girl that looked like Saki on that Midnight Channel thing." That really grabbed our attention, now that they mentioned it… the girl that we saw looked kinda like her. That reminds of the black glop that came out my Tv "They said she totally looked like she was in pain. Isn't that scary?"
With that they left, as they walked away, Chie got visibly angry at the two girls. "Sheesh, it's easy to toss around theories if you're not personally involved…"
"Hey…" I jumped almost ten feet in the air when I heard a familiar voice behind me. I spun on my foot as fast as possible to see Yosuke behind me, he still looked very much pained by this news.
WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY I hear a that voice in my head
"Did you guys check out the TV last night?"
"Yosuke!" Chie got irritated at Yosuke now, not to anyone's surprise. "Not you too!"
"Dude," I shook my head at him. "After yesterday I want nothing to do with TVs for some time."
"GUYS!" Yosuke yelled at us not in anger though still much to our surprise. "Just listen for a sec! Something kept bothering me, so… I watched it again, and…"
Chie looked like she was about to say something, so I held out my hand to single her to let Yosuke finish. "I think the girl on the screen… was Saki-senpai."
I that's where this was headed, yet I knew where it was going to go next, and I didn't like the looks of it, especially after yesterday! Yosuke did manage to gain Yu's and Chie's attention. "There's no mistaking it… Senpai looked like… she was writhing in pain… And then… she disappeared from the screen."
"What?" Chie had no idea where this was heading obviously, so I kindly spoke what I knew was on Yosuke's mind.
"So now you think she got that TV that tv world Yu told me about " Chie and Yu looked at me with shock, Yosuke just nodded. "Not only that, but… you think people who show up on the Midnight Channel die, case in point: the announcer and Saki, stop me if I'm wrong. And now you want to go back and ask the bear if she was there, right?"
"Yes."
"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" This man is going to die "Even if it was, you need the bear to let you out, and we still have no idea if that world is even safe!"
Yosuke knew what I was saying, but he still wouldn't let it go. "I need to know why senpai died like this, I just can't dismiss all of this as coincidence, after everything I saw! I just can't let this go! I'm going to Junes, I won't force you guys to come with me or even making you guys let me do this, after all I need Narukami to go back."
Before we could even say anything against him, Yosuke left, I could tell just by the look on her face that Chie was just as worried as me about this. "I can kinda understand how he feels, but we can't be sure we'll be able to get out safely again."
"Exactly my thoughts," I sighed and turned to Yu, he looked lost in thought. "So what about you Yu? What are you going to do?"
"Have a nice life" this man is dumb investigation dumb as hell!
"So Chie what are you trying to do"
"Huh!" She looked at me confused " W..we should stop him"
With that we all left for Junes to get that gofee Yosuke before he got him, and the rest of us were killed.
Afternoon to After School
Junes electrical department
Yosuke was standing in front of the same TV that we jumped in last time, only he had a golf club in his hand and a rope that was tied around his waist in the other. The dumbass had the audacity to smile at us as we approached him. "You guys came."
"We came to stop you, idiot!" Chie stomped her foot in frustration.
"Except for Mr. Gowfee number two over here!" I pointed at Yu "Look Yosuke don't you know what happens when people investigate in movies they died!"
"Don't joke about stuff like that!" Chie turned some of her frustration to me now. She refocused her energy back to Yosuke now. "C'mon… You really shouldn't do this. It's too dangerous."
I know…" Yosuke tried his hand at calming us down, only I had a royal flush and he had a two of a kind, aka it didn't work!
"If you know, then you WOULDN'T be doing this!"
"Would you please let me talk!"
"Are you still going to go through with this?"
"Yes."
"Then no!"
"Gah!" Yosuke gave up trying to calm me down and turned back to Chie. "But we were able to come back once, right? If we go in from the same location, maybe we'll meet that bear again."
"Yosuke," I spoke up trying to get his attention again.
"Yeah?"
"Do whatever you want"
"What!" Chie stomped her foot again, man she was really putting her foot down "'Maybe' isn't good enough!"
"Look," Yosuke put all the sincerity he had at that moment into his voice, trying to get us to at least let him go in, and it was starting to work on me. "I can't just act like everyone else and pretend this has nothing to do with me."
It was also working on Chie a little. "That's true but…"
"What about you Narukami? Could you just walk away? Or you Cadence ?"
Yu nodded in agreement with Yosuke. "I'm with you."
I sighed and voiced my feelings here. "Look I'm not a part of this but I'm more worried about Chie."
I could see that in the corner of my eye that Chie had started to blush a solid red color. Yosuke grinned with sincerity. "You two don't have to come with us. That's why I want Chie to hold this!"
Yosuke had handed her the end of the rope that wasn't tied to his waist. "What's that? A rope…?"
"We'll go in with this tied to me," Yosuke smiled meekly at us. "So I want you to hold on to this and wait here."
"I lifeline?" I had I feeling it wouldn't work and so did Chie.
"Wh-what? C'mon wait a sec…"
Yosuke ignored her pleas and turned to Yu, handing him the golf club. "Here Yu, this is for you. I thought it might be better than going in empty-handed. Alright… let's go. There's no use wasting any more time. Chie, whatever you do, don't let go of the rope!"
With that Yosuke and Yu both went up to the TV and disappeared into the screen. A few moments after they left, Chie titled her head and scratched the top of her head. Feeling a slight tug from the other end of the rope, she pulled on it until it popped out, I told them. Chie fell to her knees and fell to her knees. "See I knew this wouldn't work!"
I walked over to her and bent down so I was sitting next to her, I rubbed her back as she sobbed for a bit. "They'll be back."
"How do you know!" Chie said through her sobs, tears soon fell to the floor from her face.
"I don't but you all way need hope"
"Ok"
With that I sighed and pulled out my iPhone I play my favorite song and she walks over to me "What are you doing?"
"Sit down" she sits down right next to me I put a earplug in her ear
Chie looked at me with shock, but she didn't say anything, so we waited for the guys to come back. It took a few hours, but finally the guys came back through the TV, Yosuke was smiling brightly and was being carried by Yu. I practically jumped to my feet when I saw them, Chie looked up the tears quickly came back to her eyes. "You guys came baaaaaack!"
Yu smiled at us, Yosuke looked shocked for a moment. "Huh, Chie? What's with that face?"
"DUMBASS!" I yelled at Yosuke. "What do you think is the problem!?"
Chie still had the rope in her hand and threw it full strength at Yosuke, which was still enough to knock him to the ground. "Shut up! I was so worried! I mean scared stiff DAMNIT! I hate you both!"
Chie then ran away from everyone tears falling from her eyes. "I think that might have been our fault."
"What did you say!" I was so initiated at those two at the moment. "Damnit, I'll go get her!"
"Wait," Yu tried to stop me. "The bear asked us to give these to you."
Yu was holding my shades, why would he give me shade "T-thanks. See you guys later I guess?"
With that I ran after Chie. Now that I freaking see! It was a damned miracle! The lenses were even better than I ever imagined, it was almost like I never needed them in the first place! Damn, that bear was good, at, well whatever the fuck it was that he did… "Damnit Chie, where are you!"
After a good hour or so I finally noticed a familiar green jumper curled up on a bench in the mall. Chie was still crying, I could tell by the fact that she was still shaking. I sighed and walked over to her. "Hey, this seat taken?"
Chie looked up at me, rubbing the tears out of her eyes. I could tell that she had been crying for a time now, her eyes were red. Chie shook her head at me then looked back to the ground. Sobbing slightly still. "Hey, I told you they'd be back… still I know how you felt. I was just as scared as you, I mean even though I just met you guys… I feel happy being around all of you. I can tell all three of you actually care about me and vice versa."
"That's still no reason for what they did!" Chie retaliated at me. I knew she was right, but I wasn't here for her to forgive them, I was here for her!
"You're right," I smiled weakly " back in america I was- I'm still I'm a bad person I got into fights hurt people and I got someone close to me but I never lost hope"
Chie smiled brightly at me until she saw my sad face "are you ok"
"The person that I hurt was my brother I killed my little brother" I started cry "how did I happen" she looks at me with a sad expression on
Chie eyes when up as I explain how it happened
tears rolled down my cheeks . Chie wiped it away with her sleeve, she looked concerned for me. "I don't know why I'm telling you this, I guess I just feel like I can trust you. You know, it feels good to finally get that off my chest!
"You actually helped me."
I looked at Chie, she was still smiling sadly, but there was some happiness and gratitude in her eyes. "H-hey Chie?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you not tell the guys about this, my little brother okay?"
She smiled at me and nodded her head. I helped her feel better by sharing in some of my suffering. It felt weird but good. Chie slowly got to her feet and sighed. "Well, thanks for the talk. I feel better, and I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Oh, Cadence!"
"Yes."
"You're a good friend," I smile a little bit and looked towards the ceiling of Junes. "Anyway, bye!"
I waved to her as she left the mall, now that the information was out there, there was no going back, and I wanted no one but Chie would ever know that I had killed my little brother I got up from my seat and started to walk home after. One my way home I noticed a black haired girl walking toward the shopping district, it was the same girl from the train station the day I had gotten to Inaba. I just shrugged and went home to sleep the day off. I got into bed a black hair boy appeared "Who are you"
"I am death and you are mine"
