Fates Reminiscence
Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"Senpai !!"Suddenly I heard a familiar voice that brought me back to reality. I grabbed my head and then lifted it and looked at them. I was shocked by their expressions. Worriedness and concern are the only thing that you can see on their faces."Are you guys ok? Why do you have that kind of expression? Did something happen?" I asked as I saw their faces."Wait, you didn't rem ---""Are you ok?" Hans asked as he cutted what Shiori was about to say."Hmm .. yeah, I'm fine." I answered.They didn't ask any more questions when I answered Hans' question. I feel like they know what I'm doing, that I'm being strange and weird, why is it that it suddenly happened and especially in the wrong place and at the wrong time.I don't know what is really happening to me. Whether it is a threat or a warning to possible future events or even maybe worse than that."Let's just go, before anything more weird happens." Shiori said as she walked right past us."Alright, let's go. N
Fates Suspicion
Mio and I went out of her room while I held her hand. She was just quiet beside me as we walked into the kitchen.I noticed as we walked, I sensed their intention to talk and approach Mio but because of Mio's appearance, who just finished crying, they didn't try to talk to her. I just hope the accident that happened to us doesn't have a big change in her.When we got to the kitchen Hans noticed that Mio's eyes were quiet and puffy. Hans approaches us, he then kneels down and confront Mio. Hans looked at Mio's face and then suddenly laughed."Hahahahahaha, look at you, you're so ugly now hahahaha." Hans said while straining to hold back a laugh.Mio pouted her lips.Mio let go of my hand. She then grabbed both of Hans' cheeks and pinched them. Hans stopped laughing because of what Mio did. Mio and I both laughed at Hans' face."Hahahahaha." Mio and I laughed.Nao, on the other hand, just smiled at the antics we were doing. Hans really always eases the surroundings and relieves tension
Fates I. That shadow
Shadow.Shadow -shaped man stood behind Nao. It stood as if watching, watching what Nao was doing or watching me from there, I didn't know which one was the facade because I could only see a shadow and I didn't know where his front or even his back was. Only quivering was the only thing I felt.I didn't know what to do because from the beginning they weren't normal, so I couldn't think of a way to resolve it. All I could do was stand there and stare at that shadow that at the same time was blanking my mind and feeling confused.I remembered that shadow when I first saw it the other day. Standing as if just staring at me as if just watching me as I see now.[Flashback]Then suddenly I heard whispers around me. I looked around to see someone around me. I saw a shadow forming a human form."Nao?" I uncertainly utter.I exclaimed because Nao was the only one with me in the room and there was no one else there but us. Nao and I just entered the room one after the other but it looked like h
Fates II. That shadow
I just shook my head to get rid of that thought. Again with this jealousy. I hate it. I shouldn't be feeling this kind of thing.I calmed myself first as well as my mind so that it wouldn't enter my mind again. As much as possible I don't want to be jealous with my little sister especially now that there's no need to be jealous. And especially since she's my little sister, the more the reason I shouldn't be jealous of her.I just turned myself back to what I was doing and just continued reading what I was researching. In the middle of my reading something caught my eye, which caused me to suddenly think."However, those taking a different slant feel shadow people are a result of physiological and psychological conditions: sleep deprivation or paralysis, illusions, hallucinations, the beginnings of dementia, drug or alcohol use or the side effects of medication.""No way." The only thing I suddenly uttered.I just thought and remembered the things that happened to me, it all started af
Fates Findings
Miyazaki Naoki's POV*sighAfter Kio entered his room, Hans just sighed because he didn't seem to be able to get out of the conversation he had with Kio and he might suddenly slip up and say something else. He wanted to say it but he couldn't because Kio might deny it again and refuse our help while denying everything that we found out as we observed him."Can't tell him huh? That's why you have no reason to tell him." I answered seriously without looking at him while tidying things up."Well you know Kio, if he thinks that something was off he'll keep on asking questions and he'll probably solve it by himself." Hans replied."Anyway, let's talk in the kitchen. It's kinda alarming if we talk here." I said as I finished what I'm doing, then we walked into the kitchen.As we got into the kitchen Hans immediately asked me a question."About Kio, did you find something?" Hans asked with mixed concern.I just walk towards the sink before answering."Yeah, this morning when he picked me up.
Fates Hesiod
Ishikawa Kioshi's POVAs I'm focusing on Greek Mythology I remember the name Prometheus. A character that was part of my research but haven't got any much information about him."Maybe I need to search more." I seriously whispered to myself.So I got back to my computer and started to type that name, "Prometheus".I search more farther about Prometheus, since I don't have the book yet I might as well search on the things that I have. As I searched more about him I found the name "Hesiod".It linked me to another name. Another name that I think also connected to them, to those names that I've found."The Greek poet Hesiod related two principal legends concerning Prometheus. The first is that Zeus, the chief god, who had been tricked by Prometheus into accepting the bones and fat of sacrifice instead of the meat, hid fire from mortals. Prometheus, however, stole it and returned it to Earth once again. As the price of fire, and as punishment for humankind in general, Zeus created the wom
Fates III. Another dream or should I say a nightmare
I opened my eyes, the sky was too bright. The sunlight is peeking at my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and pretended to clear my vision, but it was still a bit blurry."Where am I?" I murmured to myself as I looked around.I saw a lot of desks, and kinda saw the blackboard in front but a bit blurry and I also heard the noisy voices of my classmates who were teasing and shouting at each other."Am I at school?" I suddenly thought in my mind, as if mixed with astonishment.When my vision cleared, I confirmed that I was really in school.Maybe I fell asleep at school without realizing it, but it feels strange like before I was just in my room, at home and then suddenly I'm at school and it feels like something is wrong. Maybe it's just my hallucination or dream because I was asleep a while ago, but I can't say it's a dream because I can move myself and I can do what I want to do unlike when I dreamed last time, I had no control over the body I was in."Kio, Sato sensei said that you get this stu
Fates Rumor
I went to school feeling like I was floating and lacking sleep thinking about that dream that I just had. I tried to analyze everything that had happened in my dream but the longer I kept thinking about it, it gradually disappeared from my mind. In fact, I shouldn't remember anything because it was a dream but in my case it didn't fade immediately as if the details were just missing but the actual event was still there. The flow of the whole story is still there.I stopped suddenly when I had a realization about the dream. As I kept thinking about it over and over again."How did I recognize that the students in my dream are actually my classmates?" I asked in astonishment."And why does it seem like Nao is the only one I really remember there? Like his face is the only thing that I think I really recognize there. Is it because he called my name?" I whispered to myself as I struggled to remember the face of Nao I thought was in my dream.Damn but I can't seem to remember if I really s

The code
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’
It was all related to Greek
“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
Choose
"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
I need to choose?
"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
The third shadow
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
I lost it?
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
A proof of what might happen?
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
III. The book
"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
II. The book
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
