Takahiro just noticed the people. Kanzaki takes the flashlight out of his backpack. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQJvy13ZQ
"Takahiro... Have you noticed it about Aoi...?" he asked. Takahiro looks at him. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sFGwICKnJ
"What do you mean?" Takahiro asks, narrowing his eyes. Kanzaki sighs and puts the flashlight on. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREsipOgU8i
"She's watching us," Kanzaki answers. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gUqhEroCp
Takahiro looks up, just to see the dead bodies hanging there. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUfgcfVk8F
"I feel like going back..." Takahiro says, trembling. Suddenly, ghosts appear around the trees... They looked exactly like her. The Yurei. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC08jz7sx8
"Hashiru... Takahiro..." Kanzaki says, unable to move his feet. Takahiro looks at him, fear in his eyes. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0soPxVnZw
The whispers began softly, like a lullaby. "Fooooood... fooood... fooood..." The chilling voices overlapped. Each word carried a deep, inhuman resonance that seemed to pierce Kanzaki's soul. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ1hb0l8Z6
"Astaroth-sama will be pleased..." one voice hissed, cold. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhDN7Fc8Kz
"No one... NO ONE can trespass..." another growled, its tone dripping with venom. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbuWd1YeXP
"This is our territory... Ours to guard... ours to protect..." A deep voice said, which sounded even worse than the ones before. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IlHbBhERF
"And ours to destroy!" the final voice yelled, filled with an unholy glee. The air grew heavier, suffocating Kanzaki. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRJn7Kr7q5
"Kawasaki... shall FALL..." the voice dripping with venom said again. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicbHEH9gnV
"You will DIE..." The words echoed around him, as if the forest itself had come alive, each tree and shadow against him. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhWAuS2Lx4
The whispers tugged at his mind, their promise turning into an eerie silence... Kanzaki manages to move his feet and grab Takahiro's arm, not letting him go. He runs, avoiding the ghosts. "Damn it," Kanzaki grunts. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLp6BGYblk
Takahiro was scared, his body almost gave in but... Something about Kanzaki made him want to keep going. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFtcntl4Np
The way he avoided the ghost, while protecting Takahiro... He didn't leave him alone, just like Yami did...
~~~
Takahiro back then... It all happened on a rainy day. Even though everyone went to school in Shibuya. Takahiro used to walk with Yami, his bestfriend.
(Yami, a 14-year-old boy, born in Shibuya on the 5th of January. He has black hair that can go over his shoulders if combed, its usually in a bun, he has orange eyes. He likes doing sports and is a fan of action.)
Yami had stopped playing with Takahiro after an argument caused by Yami's girlfriend. She accused Takahiro of throwing Yami's brother's ashes, and Yami, siding with her, left Takahiro. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsR5Zd0Imj
Days later, shocking news spread... Yami had been killed. There were only three people in the house at the time; his mother, father, and girlfriend. Suspicion quickly fell on his father, as a bloodstained katana was found among the weapons in his room. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYzyOq5phC
Despite this, his mother claimed she had been asleep, and his girlfriend, Aoi, denied it, saying she wasn't in his room back then. Yet, the town blamed the father, who was executed for the crime. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxviEEnlwo
Takahiro didn't expect Yami to die. At the funeral, only two people attended; Takahiro and Aoi. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mzs3R9UYn
As they prayed in silence, Aoi suddenly started laughing, her voice unfamiliar. It wasn't the Aoi Takahiro knew... It was someone, or something else. She turned to him, smirking. She confessed her feelings, saying she had liked Takahiro, not Yami. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMQ7X6KemN
Rage boiled inside Takahiro. Unable to stop himself, he slapped her hard across the face, leaving her in tears. But her crying did nothing to calm him down. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx1c5vFT5z
The grief and betrayal consumed him, and for a moment, he came dangerously close to taking her life.
"Why did you pull me if you could just run away alone...?" Takahiro asks. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWDibX4CJ9
Kanzaki looks at him, frowning. "Ha! As if you can actually move when you're scared," he says, rolling his eyes. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnoH1ZboTg
Takahiro bit his bottom lip, ashamed. Kanzaki didn't let go of Takahiro, even though he was staying still. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4iZwfINVe
He pulls out his phone, taking a quick picture of the bodies hanging in the air. He sends it to Akira and puts his phone back in his pocket. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcKqQ6LnS5
If Akira was here... The words were just on his mind all the time. They were friends since grade three... 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVzHA68Aq7
Akira usually hung out with boys, since she didn't like doing girly things. She was disliked by girls, so she didn't care at all. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRRJoXness
He looks at Takahiro... "Are you not feeling well?" he asks as he sees him shivering. Takahiro points at a tree... 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRs4T7vWT
Remi was there, her lifeless body hung on a branch. Takahiro falls on his knees, his hands in front of his face. "R-Remi..." he stutters. Kanzaki grits his teeth... 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OF5RHhct8
He puts his hand on Takahiro's shoulder, trying to comfort him... But he can't. He doesn't know what to say. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAjvHohAlb
He's never really been one to comfort someone, especially a person he just met. He lost his sister... How much does that hurt... Because of The Yurei... Everything falls apart. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3w64dcyax
"I'm going back... I can't anymore," Takahiro mutters, his voice cracking as he wipes away the tears that were about to spill. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEewdczvxn
He stands, his expression a mix of exhaustion and regret. "Good luck, Kanzaki," he adds, pulling Kanzaki into a tight hug before stepping back. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1UQtpBN4
"You got this!" Takahiro shouts as he walks away. The entrance of the forest wasn't so far away. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcARxwrN9
"Bye..." Kanzaki whispers, his voice barely audible as he watches Takahiro disappear into the shadows. He looks up. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvsnJ3zTRW
Remi. She hung lifelessly from a branch, a rope cutting into her neck. Kanzaki clenches his fists, ignoring the burning pain in his hands. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcnnwUAQqy
I can climb up and get her... maybe she's still alive, he thinks, determination flickering in his eyes. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGKH8qBKzk
He places his foot on the side of the tree, gripping its rough bark as he begins climbing. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc35gjx4Pk
I've done this before... with Akira. I can do it again, he mutters, climbing higher and higher despite his trembling limbs and raw hands. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt9hdQhgzJ
When he finally reaches the branch, he pants. With one hand gripping the branch tightly, he uses his other hand to cut the rope with the knife that was in his pocket. The rope snaps, and Remi's body slowly lunges toward the ground. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigXRklES8
"No!" Kanzaki gasps, lunging to grab her sleeve. His fingers catch the fabric, but her weight drags him down. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPbV3iDBn
His grip on the branch slips, the bark scraping against his hand, leaving fresh cuts. "This is... so damn high!" he groans. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhveDRBVAki
His body was screaming in protest. His strength finally gives out. They both fall. Kanzaki twists mid-air, clutching Remi tightly to protect her as they crash to the ground. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kNWEvNpCz
The impact sends pain through his back. He screams, as he almost got knocked out of breath. 32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCZuqpCHnP
Nearby, his phone lies broken on the grass, its screen reflecting the red glow of the moon above.
