Takahiro just noticed the people. Kanzaki takes the flashlight out of his backpack. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTVBv9s4lH
"Takahiro... Have you noticed it about Aoi...?" he asked. Takahiro looks at him. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlTYgTz2Fx
"What do you mean?" Takahiro asks, narrowing his eyes. Kanzaki sighs and puts the flashlight on. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUrvIYTZhq
"She's watching us," Kanzaki answers. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcC0izIVWf
Takahiro looks up, just to see the dead bodies hanging there. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnanm2VdC1
"I feel like going back..." Takahiro says, trembling. Suddenly, ghosts appear around the trees... They looked exactly like her. The Yurei. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GifObnC8L
"Hashiru... Takahiro..." Kanzaki says, unable to move his feet. Takahiro looks at him, fear in his eyes. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemn9R26G5C
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfKj4ovtFx
"Astaroth-sama will be pleased..." one voice hissed, cold. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H3gTTH2hq
"No one... NO ONE can trespass..." another growled, its tone dripping with venom. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlK7ILQD4o
"This is our territory... Ours to guard... ours to protect..." A deep voice said, which sounded even worse than the ones before. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2toTjg0Ath
"And ours to destroy!" the final voice yelled, filled with an unholy glee. The air grew heavier, suffocating Kanzaki. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG4bhQlCFq
"Kawasaki... shall FALL..." the voice dripping with venom said again. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAX55iVWAp
"You will DIE..." The words echoed around him, as if the forest itself had come alive, each tree and shadow against him. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIG0vPqSns
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DwwNACfp
Takahiro was scared, his body almost gave in but... Something about Kanzaki made him want to keep going. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBogjjUoF7
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsYFffL7Ij
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQhvoIAKee
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLV0I7DcV0
Takahiro didn't expect Yami to die. At the funeral, only two people attended; Takahiro and Aoi. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBHWD1iWkZ
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFuv4P9rH
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nq3dmBp2L
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuyE0mHegE
Kanzaki looks at him, frowning. "Ha! As if you can actually move when you're scared," he says, rolling his eyes. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1gsSK3p5R
Takahiro bit his bottom lip, ashamed. Kanzaki didn't let go of Takahiro, even though he was staying still. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSqhRXW5fT
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eO2NNNEsT
If Akira was here... The words were just on his mind all the time. They were friends since grade three... 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEXcWPJgYo
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqreLHV4o9
He looks at Takahiro... "Are you not feeling well?" he asks as he sees him shivering. Takahiro points at a tree... 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs3EhjHLEK
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... 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqivcniiYG
He puts his hand on Takahiro's shoulder, trying to comfort him... But he can't. He doesn't know what to say. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9SNczobZ
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrst1noKIQ8
"I'm going back... I can't anymore," Takahiro mutters, his voice cracking as he wipes away the tears that were about to spill. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfSaqX4mtL
He stands, his expression a mix of exhaustion and regret. "Good luck, Kanzaki," he adds, pulling Kanzaki into a tight hug before stepping back. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8XmiSxBh
"You got this!" Takahiro shouts as he walks away. The entrance of the forest wasn't so far away. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eO2SdYPHb
"Bye..." Kanzaki whispers, his voice barely audible as he watches Takahiro disappear into the shadows. He looks up. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR2HmtIgXP
Remi. She hung lifelessly from a branch, a rope cutting into her neck. Kanzaki clenches his fists, ignoring the burning pain in his hands. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SH9pmpx0S
I can climb up and get her... maybe she's still alive, he thinks, determination flickering in his eyes. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoK79Pa1Cu
He places his foot on the side of the tree, gripping its rough bark as he begins climbing. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ax6KHUgTc
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehEsINyNHQ
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTokWMcbW
"No!" Kanzaki gasps, lunging to grab her sleeve. His fingers catch the fabric, but her weight drags him down. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKC5U1N255
His grip on the branch slips, the bark scraping against his hand, leaving fresh cuts. "This is... so damn high!" he groans. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfSpeABV3p
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. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVxYoqXx6u
The impact sends pain through his back. He screams, as he almost got knocked out of breath. 460Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlgdrwHtGB
Nearby, his phone lies broken on the grass, its screen reflecting the red glow of the moon above.
