In School Library------------------
Currently Mii-chan is hanged up in the air and looks painful by the curses from shinigami. In front of her, Haruna the shinigami and Yuko the cupid were interrogating her.
“Where is she?” asked the Haruna.
“I don’t know” Mii-chan denied.
“Please tell us where she is” Yuko begged.
“No! You will take her away. I won’t tell you”
Haruna moved her fingers in some movements while recite the curses, makes Mii-chan growl in pain. Yuko approached Haruna and pressed her mouth with hands to stop Haruna reciting the curse. “Please tell us where she is or she’ll gonna die for sure” Yuko begged at Mii-chan.
“What do you mean?” Mii-chan asked.
--------------------------------------------------
At the same time on the school’s roof
Minami is possessed in the crystal bracelet on Atsuko’s hand to avoid the shinigami found her.
Flashback“Minami! You must leave here soon, shinigami are going to take you away” Mii-chan yelled at her.
“What? Shinigami?” asked Minami.
“Yes, yesterday I saw them following you. I heard them saying that they must get you back in no time” Mii-chan explained.
The door opened, Atsuko came inside her room with confuse expression, “Minami, who are you talking with?”
“Hello, I am Mii-chan. Minami’s ghost friend” Mii-chan introduce herself in front of Atsuko, but she can’t see her.
“Umm… sorry, can you show yourself? I can’t see you” Atsuko is looking around her room.
“It’s normal that you can’t see me. Anyway, Minami is going to leave for a while”
Atsuko turn to face Minami, “You are going to leave here?”
// Somehow I feels incredibly sad hearing that. It was like I don’t want her to leave me… again? //“No, I won’t leave” Minami answered.
“You are crazy! Shinigami are coming over you” Mii-chan scolds her.
Atsuko can’t believe what she heard, “Is that true, Minami?”
“I won’t leave” Minami said firmly.
// Before you remember me, I won’t leave… //“Why are you so stubborn?!” Mii-chan flying around the room in circle, “There must be a way to hide from shinigami…” as she flying around inside the room, something sparkling catches her attention. It was Atsuko’s crystal bracelet. Mii-chan uses her concentration to lift up Atsuko’s left hand.
“Crystal! Shinigami can’t approach crystal” she then approach Minami, “You can possess in that crystal bracelet, so that shinigami will lost her tracks on you”
Flashback End“What are you thinking, Atsuko?” asked Minami.
“My life is fun since I met you. Before I met you, my life is simple and kinda boring to have routine things repeating days by days. And then I met you in the library, you always bringing the homework books which I left at home, helps me peeking the answer in exam, tricks my mother and father at home… You even teach me how to play the piano” Atsuko smiles in happiness, “I am so lucky to meet you”
“Me too, thanks to become my friend”
“Ne, Minami… somehow I feel that you resemble that little girl in my dreams”
Suddenly the sky become dark, sun is hidden behind the clouds. Haruna in black robe appeared behind Atsuko. “Give Minami’s soul to me” she said with scary voice. (please imagine Torigoya in berserk form)
“
KYAAAAAAAA” Atsuko surprised by the appearance and stepped back. Her foot tripped by the rope next to her, she lost her balance and fell backward over the fence, falling down from the roof. As she falling downward, many scenes pop up in her brain… her long lost memories. Everything flashback right before her eyes.
“It must be you who hurt her. You’re jealous of Atsuko and harm her” people yelling at Minami.“Minami… don’t go…”I watches the little pony-tailed Minami leave with tears“Acchan” the little pony-tailed Minami is calling me“This is my treasure. Can you keep it for me?” Minami gave me a crystal bracelet“Minami…” she is introducing herself at me with redden face“Wanna learn to play piano?” she is smiling at meAt the last scene, Atsuko shed her tears.
“Minami-chan~ I like you” Atsuko place a peck on Minami’s cheek“…………” Minami flustered and freeze“Say you like me” Atsuko commanded“…………” Minami turn her back and run away from Atsuko“Minami-chan~ say you like me” Atsuko chased her and grab her sleeve, hugging Minami tightly“I… I LIKE YOU” Minami was screaming with her loudest voice makes Atsuko jumped out of surprise. She let go her hands to cover her ears. “Minami, that’s too loud”The pony-tailed Minami blushing hard and run away…// To tell you the truth, you are my first friend, Minami… //“Minami…” Atsuko closed her eyes and relaxed her body.
Minami went out from the bracelet and holds Atsuko’s hands, hanging in the air.
“Ugh…” Minami bear the pain inside her and try to bring Atsuko safely back to the roof.
“Minami, let go…” Atsuko remembered what Mii-chan whispered at her yesterday.
// Ghost will receive pain from electro wave whenever we touch human… You must have seen Minami’s soul vanishing, right? //“I don’t want you vanish because of me. Let go!”
“I WON’T!!”
Yuko comes out to the roof, “Nyaan!!! Why don’t you save them?” she asked Haruna which just standing there and watch in silent.
“She is wearing crystal, I can’t go near them” Haruna’s face is wet of tears. “Yuko, what should I do?”
“Leave it on me!” Yuko flies to help Minami bring Atsuko back to the roof.
Because of Yuko’s help, Minami and Atsuko managed to land on the roof safely. But there’s something wrong with Minami… her soul is vanishing. Minami forced herself to give her best smile for Atsuko.
“Thanks for remember me, Acchan. Did you know that you are my first friend? My first and forever friend…” she cupped Atsuko’s cheek to feel her warmth once more, “I guess this is the end, goodbye Acchan”
BADUMPP BADUMPP// What is this feeling? My chest feels hurt // Minami’s body flying on it own in the air
“No! I won’t say goodbye. I just remembered you now. You can’t leave me!” Atsuko pleaded.
Suddenly there’s a burst of light comes from Minami’s chest, it disappears seconds later then appear and disappears again. “What happen to me?”
“Oh no, I’m not gonna make it” Haruna shows her depression and reluctantly kneel on the ground.
“We’ll make it, don’t give up!” Yuko bring Haruna and went to where Minami was.
A sudden light burst out more powerful from Minami’s soul. The light is so bright that they can’t open their eyes. Not long after, the light becomes dimmer and dimmer. Atsuko reopened her eyes just to see an empty space. Minami is gone, shinigami is gone, everyone is gone…
// I will never forget you again, Minami…//*********************************************
To be continue...?
