Mizuki POVWe are standing in another empty room. This time also pure white. What is with this pure white room every time we go somewhere?I look at them. All of them are exhausted. And so am I. I don’t know how much time has passed but this day is never ending. We are going in circles.But Sakura said that a man would be here. So, where is that man?“Do you see someone?”I ask them. “No. No one here.” Makina replied. “And I can use my powers again.” Juno said.So they couldn’t use their powers before. They are supposedly gods so they should have some powers.But then, where is that man? I was thinking.“Kyyyaaaaa….” I hear a scream. I look behind to see who actually screamed. It was Sakura. I mean Lilith’s daughter.Why did she scream? I look around to see. I see someone. In this white room, no one is wearing black. We aren’t wearing black either. But something black is moving.A black cape and a black mask. Completely covered. Who is that? “Who are you?” I ask that black person.
I wake up. My same old room. Completely empty. There’s nothing here. Only a bed and a desk. Aside from that this room is pretty empty. I don’t even own a closet.I get up and open the window curtains. It’s a fine morning. Birds are chirping and I can see the blue sky. White clouds are floating like cotton candies.I am thinking about what to do. Suddenly I get the feeling that I am forgetting something. What was I doing last night? I can’t recall tue last night. Oh well, what could I be doing? My days have been the same for a long time. Ever since my parents died, my days have been the same.I should wash my face and have breakfast. I open my room’s door thinking that. I have this whole house to myself. A normal house that can house 4 people easily. My room is upstairs.My parents’s room is downstairs. Was anyway. Now this whole house is mine. I sleep wherever I feel like it. Most of the time though, I sleep im the living room.So why was I in my room? I open the living room. A tv to
“I am gonna walk to my home. But if you want, we can take the train.” I ask Selena. She is still new to this area and it’s kinda hot. So maybe I should take the train.“No. I am fine as it is. I want to see this neighborhood as well. So let’s walk.” (Selena)“You are pretty cool with this but you have to be careful as well. You are going to a guys house. Moreover I live alone.”“Are you going to do something to me?” (Selena)“Nah.. I would not. But take this as a reminder.” “I will. You said you live alone. What about your parents?” (Selena)“Mmm…..they are beyond the Styx I guess. I mean how are they in heaven is something I don’t know.”“Oh…. I am sorry.” (Selena)“Don’t be. It happened a long time ago. How many years? About five years already. Time sure flies. I think it was just yesterday that my mom would scold me for bad grades and dad would just bitterly smile at our exchange.”I remember the good old days. Those days were really fun. Back then I thought it was a nuisance but
It’s already 9:00 pm. So I left for home.“Stay here tonight.” Gramps said that but I insisted on going home. So I am leisurely riding my cycle and going home.I haven’t taken the main road and going home through the small roads. But the day was nice. I woke up and went to school. But it was Sunday.That was blunder. Then Selena talked to me. It was a fresh experience because most people would just ignore me. We talked a lot.She is fun to talk to. But that’s it for today. She won’t have time to talk to me from tomorrow onwards. And she won’t remember me probably!! Gramps and I played shogi. But I suck. So I lost every single game. The lunch was delicious.“Grandma, your food is the best.”“Don’t call me grandma. Do I look old?” (Grandma)“A young grandma. Happens rarely but does happen.” “You little….you are gonna make a lot of girls cry.” (Grandma)“That’s your imagination. I don’t see myself like that. I don’t even talk to girls that much.”“But you talked to me.” (Selena)“It w
Selena POVI unlocked my phone to check on Akatsuki. But I had a notification. I thought of ignoring it. But it said Akatsuki.So I touched the notification to see what it was. And I was shocked. It was a medical report.I know that you can share your medical information with your contacts nowadays. But why am I getting a medical report from him?I look at his heart rate. It’s dropping. Fast and his body temperature is high. I call him. But no one is picking up. I panic.“Selena what’s the matter? You are becoming restless.” (Mary)“I am calling Akatsuki but he isn’t answering. And there’s this medical information I got from him.”I show her the information and she turned serious as well. “We have to go there.” (Mary)She told her parents. Her father went inside the house and brought the car keys. He started the car and we all rode to his place.The closer we got, the more restless we became. Because, the fire is coming closer and when we turned the last turn, we became sure. It was
Mizuki POVI would call myself an ordinary girl. I have normal parents and normal friends. I am totally normal in both studies and sports. However I am called amazing by others.They always praise me. They always call me an elite. I don’t know exactly when did it start but I took it for granted. Then it happened. The one kid who lives in front of me. I think his name is Akatsuki. We played for some time. And we went to the same school.But one thing I noticed was that he never praised me. He never told me that I was precious. He showed no interest in me.It infuriated me. It annoyed me to no end. I wanted him to praise me. No, I wanted to make him praise me.But in the end, I couldn’t. We moved up to middle school. We were in the same class. He had good grades. But he wasn’t that athletic. He always grew his hair. His face was always hidden because of his hair.But he talked to me. I used to talk to him everyday. We both were childhood friends after all. And no one beside me talked
Now let’s talk about Akatsuki’s condition. When Mizuki was talking to Mary, Akatsuki went into a seizure. His heart stopped.“What happened?” “Doctor, his heart rate is dropping. He is convulsing.” “No good. Prepare the room. We have to start his heart. Prepare the defibrillator.”The doctor is rushing to him. Akatsuki is in a terrible condition. His seizure is constantly shutting his whole body down. His convulsion is stopping. He is becoming still. Meaning his heart is almost stopped.But thanks to them taking action on time, he somehow survived. His heart started again.“What’s his condition?” “His outside isn’t that damaged. But he is heavily bleeding internally. If not stopped, he will die of internal bleeding.”“We can’t do anything. He isn’t even conscious.”The doctors are having a hard time deciding what to do. Because Akatsuki isn’t in a good condition. His heart and brain are heavily damaged. His stomach and lungs are ruptured.The impact crushed his rib cage. His eyes
(Mizuki POV)Two days after his death, we are gathered. At his funeral. He doesn’t have any relatives left who can carry his photo. But that wasn’t a problem.Mary is holding is his photo. We are all here. The ones who knew Akatsuki are all here. When the news came, I broke down. I started crying like a baby. My mother calmed me down.When I went to the hospital with my parents, I can hear the wails. It was Mary. She was wailing in pain and grief. Because he left us. That Selena girl is there as well. Standing a little away from Mary. I go near Akatsuki. His face isn’t contorted. His lips were pointing upwards.He was smiling. Did he die having a good dream? Looking at his face, I felt relieved. He left in peace. That’s what I thought.It took a while for Mary to calm down. And completing the preparations took another day.Now we are here. In the community center, where his funeral is being held. There are many people. Most of them are our classmates.The girls are all here. Even fro
