Takahiro just noticed the people. Kanzaki takes the flashlight out of his backpack. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzWtgSgTfm
"Takahiro... Have you noticed it about Aoi...?" he asked. Takahiro looks at him. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQuYhgiY5A
"What do you mean?" Takahiro asks, narrowing his eyes. Kanzaki sighs and puts the flashlight on. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtsy4GXppt
"She's watching us," Kanzaki answers. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrx36zsDcC
Takahiro looks up, just to see the dead bodies hanging there. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wpNPMM0UC
"I feel like going back..." Takahiro says, trembling. Suddenly, ghosts appear around the trees... They looked exactly like her. The Yurei. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcq18QePjK
"Hashiru... Takahiro..." Kanzaki says, unable to move his feet. Takahiro looks at him, fear in his eyes. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOU4UxIP4
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHmY4NYv1t
"Astaroth-sama will be pleased..." one voice hissed, cold. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVDbCFT7Jd
"No one... NO ONE can trespass..." another growled, its tone dripping with venom. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0OVB4vffQ
"This is our territory... Ours to guard... ours to protect..." A deep voice said, which sounded even worse than the ones before. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajSDrXceC
"And ours to destroy!" the final voice yelled, filled with an unholy glee. The air grew heavier, suffocating Kanzaki. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKvJtc4Zi
"Kawasaki... shall FALL..." the voice dripping with venom said again. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOjjKL6EsZ
"You will DIE..." The words echoed around him, as if the forest itself had come alive, each tree and shadow against him. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYoEADTsXq
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmJFLuGzD
Takahiro was scared, his body almost gave in but... Something about Kanzaki made him want to keep going. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBVZhXwMBK
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtRp683Q53
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6UEWdkbWh
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqar1O9y97D
Takahiro didn't expect Yami to die. At the funeral, only two people attended; Takahiro and Aoi. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zigKz0zVF
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzojr7t7oL4
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71u4LyEzVd
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSIC6XUIJ7
Kanzaki looks at him, frowning. "Ha! As if you can actually move when you're scared," he says, rolling his eyes. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiyDBJR0kq
Takahiro bit his bottom lip, ashamed. Kanzaki didn't let go of Takahiro, even though he was staying still. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkZ4M4FFm
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdX607n998
If Akira was here... The words were just on his mind all the time. They were friends since grade three... 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRetfWvualz
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnwOdfYfWb
He looks at Takahiro... "Are you not feeling well?" he asks as he sees him shivering. Takahiro points at a tree... 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqynghUIZ7
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... 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yEwsZe15s
He puts his hand on Takahiro's shoulder, trying to comfort him... But he can't. He doesn't know what to say. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlIKkvVkD
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhYZCyH7R
"I'm going back... I can't anymore," Takahiro mutters, his voice cracking as he wipes away the tears that were about to spill. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL08FZeE5U
He stands, his expression a mix of exhaustion and regret. "Good luck, Kanzaki," he adds, pulling Kanzaki into a tight hug before stepping back. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZRa4MEEQr
"You got this!" Takahiro shouts as he walks away. The entrance of the forest wasn't so far away. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCZigtePaK
"Bye..." Kanzaki whispers, his voice barely audible as he watches Takahiro disappear into the shadows. He looks up. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRTfrf0CZb
Remi. She hung lifelessly from a branch, a rope cutting into her neck. Kanzaki clenches his fists, ignoring the burning pain in his hands. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgObZN2NT
I can climb up and get her... maybe she's still alive, he thinks, determination flickering in his eyes. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH2xIYQMre
He places his foot on the side of the tree, gripping its rough bark as he begins climbing. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAAxAp1SZy
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ7UWSbzAr
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5t5vz0Vdj
"No!" Kanzaki gasps, lunging to grab her sleeve. His fingers catch the fabric, but her weight drags him down. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ck8h9MA6y
His grip on the branch slips, the bark scraping against his hand, leaving fresh cuts. "This is... so damn high!" he groans. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwZ5gzcHio
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. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdui2giZmfy
The impact sends pain through his back. He screams, as he almost got knocked out of breath. 53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfdIKpGGVb
Nearby, his phone lies broken on the grass, its screen reflecting the red glow of the moon above.
