"KIO !!!!"I suddenly opened my eyes because of the sudden shouting of my name that seemed familiar to me. When my vision cleared I saw Nao watching me while there was concern on his face.He approached me and he touched my forehead."Are you ok?" He worriedly asked."I'm fine." I replied while trying to hide everything inside."You don't look fine, what happened?" He worriedly asked."Nao, I'm really fine." I answered.I don't know what happened. The only thing I remember is hearing those voices. I don't know if it's a dream or if all that happened earlier is true."Are you really sure?" He asked again, looking like he's skeptical about my answer."Yeah." I respond while composing myself."You're being weird lately, something bothering you?" He asked. He notices it huh? even though I'm always trying hard to hide everything."No, I'm fine really." I said in assurance."If you're really fine, I already prepared breakfast." He said as he pointed at the dining area."Ok." I replied then
Kuroda Hansuke's POV"I see." He responded.That was all he answered to me as if the things I had seen a while ago were just normal. Does it seem like he's used to the strange things that are happening to him or is it because he has not yet realized that some people around him are already noticing his strange actions?[Flashback]I knocked first before I entered Kio's room and then called him.*Knock knock*"Kio?" I asked.I opened the door and slowly entered his room. It was dark and only the table lamp was on in his room.I move around my gaze inside the room but I don't see much inside because of the lack of light and only darkness prevails inside.I saw Kio resting his head on his desk as if asleep. I approached his whereabouts when he suddenly got up as he lay on his desk.I approached him even more to see if he was awake. I saw that he was still asleep, his eyes were still shut but his expression was different as if he was having a hard time."He's still asleep, Is he having a n
Ishikawa Kioshi's POVSilence enveloped me after I briefly answered Hans' question. I could not speak because I answered him. It was obvious that I wanted to convey to him not to ask any more questions. I was about to apologize to Hans but he suddenly spoke."I should go." He suddenly said as he tapped my shoulder.I heard his steps walk away from me. The door opened and his step disappeared for a moment, and then I heard the door slam shut.*sighI should be glad of what Hans did to wake me up earlier because he saved me from that eternal nightmare, because during those hours I was unable to wake up due to those whispers in the force that entered my mind.I got up when Hans came out and then turned on the lights. It was as if I regretted my strange answer and gesture in front of Hans, he might misinterpret all the things that I've said a while ago, *sigh.I set my table and put away the things that were placed there. I turned off the table lamp, opened the door, turned off the lights
I suddenly moved away from the table which caused everyone to be shocked. I was shocked as my heart continued to beat fast. I was shivering and sweating from what I saw. Too many things happened yesterday that caused my body to suddenly act. I could have stopped it but so much was happening that my body could no longer handle it, as if it was starting to weaken because of how it felt today."Hey, Kio." Someone said as it grabbed my shoulder.I slapped the hand that was holding my shoulder away because of the shivers I felt when someone grabbed my shoulder. My body is still shaking and weakening."What's happening to me?" I thought to myself."Calm down." Nao said, trying to calm me.When I heard Nao's voice I went back to myself. I grabbed my head and shook my head to wake myself up. Maybe I was still half asleep so I saw that earlier."Kio, are you ok?" Nao asked worriedly."I'm fine, did something happen?" I asked so they wouldn't suspect."Kio, are you sure you're ok? You look kind
"Nao?" I uttered as I saw Nao with a worried look on his face. "Kio, are you feeling ok?" Nao asked as he touched my forehead to check if I still have a fever. Suddenly the door opened and Mio appeared to me, crying. She ran towards me while shouting. "ONII-CHAN !!" She shouted while crying. Tears welled up in his face when she came to me. She first stared at me as if she was sulking at me because of what happened to me as she tried to stop herself from crying. I just smiled because of Mio's appearance. So I got up and then hugged Mio tightly while I gently caressed her head. "I'm fine now, so stop crying." I said calmly to her that made her cry even more. "WAHHH !!" Mio shouted while sobbing. I broke away from my embrace with her and then I touched her face. I squeezed her cheeks as I slowly wiped away her tears with my fingers. "Don't worry, onii-chan is fine now. You said you're a big girl now? So why are you crying?" I said to calm her down. *Sniff* *Sniff* She immediate
Miyazaki Naoki's POV"Kio?" I uttered as I saw him looking shocked inside."Hey Kio." I calmly called him but he still doesn't seem to be himself as if he has something on his mind while the shock is on his face.I grabbed him by the shoulder and only then did he return to reality."Nao?" He called me while he held his head."Are you ok?" I asked."I'm fine haha, maybe I'm just tired." He said while forcing a laugh.After he said that, he went straight to his bed and slept.With each passing day Kio's actions change before the minute or every time something happens to him? But I have no idea what is happening to him. When I watched and observed him it was as if something was strange, he was acting strangely. Something was really going on with him, that was my assurance.I just watched him first while remembering the things I noticed were strange about him.He spoke in a whisper while he was sleeping as if it was also new to him.[Flashback]"Kio, are you ok?" I said when I saw him fal
*sigh "Kio .. you are really making us worried." I mumbled to myself.I caressed my face as I tried to understand what I noticed about Kio. All I did was shake my head for an unknown reason as to what was happening to him. He's really acting strange in some ways.I walked closer to my bed, which was at the other end of Kio's room. I lay down and then I put both my hands on my nape, thinking as I watched the ceiling in front of me. Forced to know everything that is needed to know because Kio doesn't want to let us know what is happening to him. There's some reason behind it, that's why he doesn't want to tell us.I suddenly remembered what he had done earlier in front of the dining table which surprised us all. And what he did came out of nowhere.[Flashback]"Oh?" We suddenly heard him utter that at the same time he raised his head as if he was looking at someone in front of him.Which caused him to suddenly move the table which surprised us. I looked at him and noticed that his hands
After all the things that happened to him, I was even more worried about Kio not only because of the accident that happened to him but also the things he kept from his parents. I know he is not angry with them but the only thing I know is that Kio is thirsty for love and attention so he can often do things for that matter.I just tried to fall asleep instead of thinking about the things I couldn't solve at that time.-------"Hey Kio did you tell your parents about our recognition?" Hans asked as we got the overall results in our grade level."No." Kio bluntly said in a cold tone.I could see the sadness and dissatisfaction in his eyes as he held the school invitation to his parents for the recognition day because Kio was the one who topped our grade level."Just tell them, I'm sure they'll listen since you're the one who tops 1st in our batch." Hans said."Yeah, there's nothing wrong with trying it." I agreed."I'll try." Kio answered."Great! See ya!" Hans said as he waved goodbye.
Miyazaki Naoki's POV I just watched Kio in his seat. I can't stop the worry I feel especially when he went out earlier and came back after an hour had passed. Our class had ended earlier but he hadn't come back yet, but when I saw him enter the classroom when I was about to follow him, I immediately approached him. Instead of feeling relief from the worry, it only increased because he entered the classroom with his hair a little wet, his pale face and uniform are also wet, and I think his face was wet because of the water in the bathroom because he washed it there. But it's surprising, because his clothes are almost wet, is it from the water from the sink? Or from his sweat? But it's pretty unusual to sweat like that just by going to the bathroom or maybe something happened? There's a possibility that something happened. I immediately remembered the paper that Kio handed me earlier before he went out. I took it from my pocket and looked at it, maybe it's connected to this, to what’
“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”"Choose."I didn't understand the first things he said but when he said the word "Choose." The dreams that I dreamed about related to the storage room, related to that student hanging in the ceiling just suddenly played back on my mind, repeatedly like the shadow was torturing my mind.I grabbed my head and tried to squeeze it, squeezing it. Trying to stop the repeatedly playing of that nightmare. It's not a dream anymore but a nightmare and it's messing up my mind. And it's making my visions blurry because the more the memories play on my mind the more my head hurts. I just bowed because of what I'm feeling right now.It was difficult, but slowly I tried to straighten myself up while still holding my head with my hands. I looked in the mirror again and stared at it while waiting for my vision to clear. I saw the shadow, still standing behind me as if wa
"I need to choose." I uttered."What do you mean?" Nao asked, confused."I'll explain it using the codes." I clarified."Using the Caesar Cipher?" Hans curiously asked."Yes, I'll send it during the afternoon classes." I replied, because I still need to write it.Now I need their help, not only to make me think rationally but also to help me with something that might happen suddenly."And this way will be safer." I continued explaining."How can it be safe? You're still going to tell it to us, so what's the difference between saying it and writing it down?" Nao continued asking questions looking concerned because it might happen again like last time.Last time that I suddenly lost consciousness and felt a sudden pain in my chest, he was nervous because of the questions he asked. That time he regretted what he did and blamed himself.But that time we were in too much of a hurry because we both wanted to know the same side information we gathered. So this time, I know what I'm d
"S-soma" I stuttered.As I saw Soma in front of me, smiling. Smiling like today is the best day of his life. His face was different, his vibes and aura were also different, but at the same time I felt fear and nervousness. Not only to Soma but also to Hiroto-san.He then faced me while I'm still staring at him in the mirror."Ishikawa-san, are you ok?" He said that interrupted my thinking."A-ah yeah hahaha, I just got a lot on my mind lately." I answered as I realized that I'm acting quite weird."Oh I see, good luck then hehe." He replied to me as he got back to what he was doing."How I wish your good luck can help me with what's on my mind." I said in my mind.I just watched him while washing his hands until he shook them and dried them."I'll be going now, Ishikawa-san." He said goodbye to me as he walked away from me and out of the bathroom.I should do something."Wait Soma, do you have plans later? Maybe you could join us, we're going somewhere later." I said, this is the only
That shadow with a complete face, tilted its head.I got startled and suddenly fell down, as I fell down I was in front of the toilet door. I looked around and realized that I'm back in my room. Everything was back to normal, except my heartbeat that still beats so fast after what I saw through that door. Trepidation and fear were the only things I felt at that time. I curled myself up as I tried to calm down."You need to be strong." I murmured."For Mio..""For Nao and Hans..""And for everyone."As I calmed down, I stood up and fixed myself.“It's just the beginning. And that beginning will happen tomorrow."—----*yawn*I didn't get enough sleep because of what happened last night. I kept on remembering it. I kept seeing him, that third shadow. Everywhere I looked I kinda saw him at first glance but when I looked back again, he's gone. Somewhat it's distracting me. Does it want to stop me? Is it because I know now that it will happen? That's why that shadow is hindering me, and rui
Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"I think-------AHHHHH!! The book I borrowed!!" I said as I panicked because I didn't have it."Where did I put it? I know I was holding it, where did it go??" I murmured as I was panicking while searching for it in my entire body."Maybe you dropped it along the way?" Nao said in uncertainty."No .. I didn't drop it, I know I was holding it until a while ago ….. wait .. a while ago." I said as I tried to recall what happened."You mean, they took it?" Nao asked as he realized what I'm saying."Yes, that's the last thing I remembered." I certainly replied."Then I will get it." Nao said seriously as he slowly removed my arm around his shoulder."I'll also come with you." I said, at the same time I stopped him from removing my arm from his shoulder."You can’t." Nao said as he looked at me."Well if I can't go, you can't either." I straightforwardly said to him."Why?" He asked."Because there are three of them." I explained."If there's only three then why did you
Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"K-ki-o?""Huh?" I suddenly said in my mind as I heard someone call my name."Who .. is it?" Again I said in my mind.Only in my mind can I utter a word because I can't open my mouth, I can feel the pain I feel especially on the lips.I could see nothing, I could not see what was in front of me because of the beating I had received earlier. I just felt my body suddenly lifted by somebody, as if someone was helping me to stand up.I was about to raise my head when I suddenly remembered what I had seen earlier.[Flashback]As I was walking along the road I met a man, I suddenly turned my attention to the one I met because I noticed that his body was almost gone and only a few particles were left."Excuse me." I suddenly said without thinking, because I was stunned and just staring at his body, but he didn't seem to hear me because he just kept walking."Hey!" I shouted as I reached out my hand to him, but still he didn't look back and I didn't reach him.Until
"Yeah that Greek Mythology." I agreed to what Hans just said, because this is simply the only clue we have. "That's where we'll find the answers." I concluded.As we walked through the hallway Hans suddenly began to speak."Do you really think it's related to the book?" Hans asks in curiosity, while traces of thoughts and doubts can be seen on his face, if that book really has anything to do with what is happening to Kio."It's worth the shot, rather than nothing." I said straightforwardly. Even I am doubting but I can't let this chance slip away because this is the only clue we have.He is also skeptical because we will base what is happening in reality on a myth in ancient times especially when it is about gods and goddesses that were only made by people at that time, but I can't let him see that I'm also doubting, like him."We'll know if it's connected if we read the book. And so that you can freshen up your memory about it, since you've already read that book." I continued trying
Miyazaki Naoki's POV"Where does the other one appear?""To Hans? Or maybe ..""To someone else?"I suddenly thought, because of what Hans said about how Kio seemed to see someone next to me.That I think is a shadow figure too, but that was just my accusations, conclusions based on what Hans just said. And the way Kio reacted when I said that about the shadow figure.Seems to be a pretty solid proof.[Flashback]I was about to leave Hans in the kitchen when he suddenly spoke again."Oh one more thing." Hans chased."What?" I asked."He also kinda saw something beside you a while ago before we ate." Hans said."What did he see?" I asked."I don't know but he was reaching at you but when I touched his shoulder nothing seemed to happen. He just bowed suddenly." He explained.Hmm .. What did he suddenly see at that time? Is it the same as what happened to me?"Is it the same as what I saw last time?" I suddenly uttered as I recalled what happened."Same with what you saw?" Hans
