@clubhappy : Thank you, and about the string. Like kuronekosan said, it's the
red string of fate. It ties the pinky of one person to another person, they're destined to meet each other, and according to the legend, that two people would marriage in the future. But in my fic, i can't say sure if that would happen between Mayu and Yuki, they might and they might not, I can't spoil the ending yet *evil smiles*
@kurogumi : It just an excuse in front of the girls, she can't say the scratch was because of saving Yuki right? :]
@fffff : Lolololol not good, not good, and btw thank you for liking my fic
@m00nchild : An useless teacher, lol just kidding. Well, after all she's Miichan lol
@Chanaline : Yes she sleeps kekeke
@kuronekosan : Hahaha sound like you know a lot and really like the Japanese's ghosts >:] I bet you read a lot eh? And you're right about the demon's blood, but they're so many story about that, I don't know which one should i believe or use it. So i ended up with deciding the demon's blood won't create any affect to normal human in my story.
@anzai48 : Thank you <3 I updated faster than last time >:]
@cmze : Thanks cmze
I know how you love Mayuki, just like me when i read yours fic XDDDDD
@kahem : Hehehe ^^
@itamana : Here's the next update :]
Chapter 19: Back to school Awakening by the sound of dripping water, Mayu found herself in a strange place. A small and old Japanese house. She was laying on tatami mats, next to her was a sliding door, with an art of cherry blossom on it. The art were so familiar that she could tell exactly who the artist was.
“You woke up?” a strange but yet familiar sound spoke.
“…Grandma?” she looked at her calmly
“Where am I?”
“This was my house, silly”
“Your house?”
“Yes, the house that I used to live with your grandpa when he was still alive”
“…This was where mom and uncle grew up” Mayu mumbled looking around, everything were old fashioned, and very traditional style.
“Want a cup of tea?”
“…Sure”
Sitting on the wooden veranda, looking out to the endless golden field, both of them took a deep sip and let out a long sigh at the same time.
“So tell me what is this visit for?” asked the grandma as she looked very enjoying the tea.
“To be honest, I have no idea” replied the girl with the same emotion.
The grandma let out a chuckle and continued “How’s thing going?”
Thought for awhile, Mayu replied “Horrible”
“Hahaha you sound just like your mom when she’s still young.”
“Ehhhhh…” her voice turned deep and down “I don’t want to be like her, such a lazy and careless person.”
“I don’t think you better than her”
“Ugh…”
“So how long do you plan to stay here?”
“I don’t know, until my body pulls me back then”
“You know, you are always welcome here. Come visit me every time you feel like” the old lady giving her lovely grandchild a warm smile as she
patted her head, then the girl smiled as a reply.
“Speaking of which here comes it now” the grandma’s statement pulled Mayu back to reality, taking a look at her hand, it was disappearing.
“Faster than I thought”
“Well, you never know what would happen”
“I guess you’re right” the girl watching the other hand disappeared, then her arms, legs, slowly to her body and face.
“See you grandma~” she smiled
“Take care hon…and be careful with the next coming events”
“Wh--” incomplete her sentence, Mayu vanished into the air.
“Okay…” the old lady turned into the house, facing a shadow smiling inside.
“What can I do for you? My unwelcome guest”
======================
Laying on the comfortable bed, smelling the familiar scent, and listening to the tick tock sounds echoing over the place. Without opening her eyes, Mayu still knew where she was. There’s only one place like this on the earth, and of course it’s her room.
So peaceful… she thought as she felt her room was so quiet compared to usual
Something doesn’t feel right a bad feeling sudden crossed her mind. As she opened her eyes, a giant clock straightening to her face, luckily she quick dodged but her butt ended up landing on ground.
“Itaiiii…” she mumbled, “What the heck is that for Yuki!?”
“You’re late for school”
Why this has to be the first thing I hear after I almost die?“What are you looking at? It’s getting late”
Ignoring the girl, Mayu climbed back on her bed and pulled the blanket over.
“Mayuyu!” the spirit frown, she was haft shouting when the other girl just kept ignoring her.
“Where’s the gently Yuki that worry for me when I collapsed the last time?” Mayu asked facing her back to the girl while yawning.
“That Yuki is not here right now, only mothering Yuki is in service. Now hurry gets your ass off the bed and goes to school!!!!” Yuki kept pulled the blanket out of the girl, making Mayu had no choice but only do as what she asked. She felt so annoyed and troubled, especially had to listen to this in an early morning.
What’s wrong with her? At least let me rest, I just woke up from my unconsciousness. I’m so tired…and…sleepy… before Mayu could finish her thought, she already fell asleep on her way to the bathroom, which making she bumped into the door.
“Ahhhhh!!! My head!!!” she screamed in pain
Looking at her, the spirit felt uneasy
“Mayuyu…”
…Flashback
2 days after they came back from the school trip…
Yuki woke up from her sleep. She found her-self in an unfamiliar room with all the white stuffs. Taking a look, Yuki immediately knew it was a hospital, she was floating around the room, and she didn’t understand how she got here. Normally she would go where she want to go, but when she was sleeping that couldn’t happen. She would never know that it was because of the string tied them together, making her and Mayu would never get lost each other wherever they go.
Suddenly, the sound of door opened. Walking in were the two girls, one had a flower in her embrace, the other one had a basket of fruits.
“Rena-chan and…Jurina-chan?”
“Look like you finally wake up Yuki-chan” the girl holding flowers smiled, looking up to the direction of the spirit.
“You can see me?”
“A little bit, I can’t see it clearly, only a blur of your body”
“Still happy to hear that” Yuki excitedly exclaimed.
“How’s Mayu-chan?” sudden asked the one who just put the basket on table near them.
“Mayu? Where’s she?” the girl happily searching around, looking at her, Rena and Jurina’s expression changed into heavy.
“Right below you” the playgirl said with a not so happy tone
Immediately looked down, Yuki covered her mouth with both of hands, she was shocked, her eyes showed all the horror and worry she had. She was floating above the girl all the time so she didn’t see her.
Mayu was deadly laid on the bed, a little pinky cheek had completely disappeared replacing it was a pale, white colour. Her skinny body was gone to somewhere, only a skeleton wrapped by skin could be seen. The fulfill lip that Yuki always want to touch so much had became dried and crack, her eyes were surrounding by two rings of black.
The doctor said Mayu only lack of blood and got a little infection due to the wide scratch, she would wake up soon. But to their surprise, she didn’t, her condition looked like she’s getting worse but in physically, nothing wrong was going on. Her blood was normal, also her heartbeat, she didn’t get any disease or sickness. The doctors didn’t understand why, same as the experts.
“What did they say?” asked the spirit without looking at her friends, she was too busy eyeing on the girl on bed.
“The doctors said they had tried their best, and they have never met any case like this so couldn’t do anything more. Just hoping that she would get well on her own. And Mayu-chan will be send to back to home soon” Rena answered
“Ha…” Yuki laughed shockingly
“She’s a skinny person, now even skinnier” said the spirit as tears rolled down her cheek.
“It was my fault, Mayu became like this was all my fault…” she cried beside the unconscious girl, her face was down on the bed, her back was facing the girls
“Tell me…What should I do Rena-chan?” she turned to look at her friend with a grievous expression, wetness filled her eyes, her body was trembling, she was struggled in her own emotions.
“Yuki-chan…”
“Yu…”
“Yuki”
“Yuki!!!”
“KASHIWAGI YUKI!!”
“Y-Yes!”
“I’m late for school, are you coming or not?”
“O-Of course!”
“Then hurry up!” said the girl as she speeded up but then quickly slow down, went along with it was her heavy breathing sound.
Even Rena-chan told me to act like normal but it still so hard…The bell on the highest building enormously raised its sound to announce the start of class. Running along with the beats was a girl with a cold expression, the black silky hair floating in wind, her breath was fast, and flying behind her was a pretty spirit, like a pet follow her master to everywhere. She was trying to be on time, and as her wish. The girl stepped in the school gate right before the bell stopped.
“S-Safe” she said with her head down, and two hands on knees.
“Not yet, you have to be in class not in school” reminded the spirit
“Doesn’t matter” she coldly said and continued her walk which made Yuki let out a small chuckle.
“What are they doing?” Mayu asked looking around, seeing the students having all kind of stuffs on their hands, hammer, banner, flowers,… Some were making the stage, some were decorated the gate, everyone had their own job, but they all looked very busy.
“Oh!” the spirit reacted, seemed like she remembered something “Summer break is coming, that’s explained why”
AKB School, before the every breaks, they always have a festival to celebrate the efforts students made and put in the school day. It like a party to show the appreciation of school for the hard working people, well, not all of them. A typical example was right here.
“What is the point of running all the way to here? And we have no class” Mayu ignored all presence of students and lazily walked to her class, she was too focused on her way that didn’t even realize they were looking at her.
After all, she was a member of Special Class. When Akimoto gave them the whole floor, the other students rarely see them, or even feel them. Even they were in same school but their schedules were totally different, the Special Class’s member had their own lunch time when other was on class, studying.
In the morning after arrived school, they all went straightly to their class, they didn’t like to hanging on the floor with the normal students. Because they were surrounded them all the time, as if they’re the strange creatures, well, some of them were really enjoy, Hana no AKB. However, recently they had a new hobby, there’s something more interested for them going on in their class than the outside world, fighting and biting with Student Council’s members.
“Neh…” called the spirit
“What?” Mayu was playing with her ipod, while the other students were taking step and step closer to her.
“Mayu” Yuki looking around felt worried, the crowd was formed.
“I’m listening”
“Mayu!”
“Just say it!” she looked up to the spirit, and began to feel her problem.
“Oh no…” Mayu looking around in horror, the eyes of people around her were shined like a wide animal being famished for a couple days. When they were about to attack her, or putting in a more right way, ran to her. A voice stopped them.
“Oi! Cyborg!!” someone called her name from far.
“Huh?”
A line sudden formed in the crowd of students, they were back up into to side leaving a space for someone to walk through. The shouting could hear from everywhere, seemed like their idol was coming
“Tomochin?”
“You’re late”
“I can’t help”
“Come, baka Kaichou is looking for you” she said and leading the way. When they already left all the other behind, she spoke.
“You know what?”
How can I know if you don’t say it…“You actually have good looking”
Ugh…“Are you trying to flirt with me?”
“Of course not!!” the girl strongly reacted, and soon continued
“Because you’re a part of Special Class, and hanging out with us (of course she meant Hana no AKB) you will meet this situation often.”
I already knew it, since the moment I see my name on the list.“It’s more trouble than you thought it would be”
You don’t have to say,“That’s why you have to show your manner, full of elegance and haughtier, to make they feel you’re higher, and different than them so they won’t dare to get close to you or touch you.” She said dramatically “Otherwise you will become their meal” turning to look at the Cyborg with a face full of experience.
What an expert… she said, “Thanks for the advice” and then walked to a different way.
“Where are you going?”
“I need a walk, besides Takamina doesn’t looking for me right? You just made an excuse to deceptive the students so it won’t create any scandals, otherwise it would make you look bad to someone”
“W-What?” Tomochin blushed
Mayu stuck her tongue out heading to another direction.
She stopped in front of a wall on the multiple cultures corridor. It had been a while since the last time she visited here. Mayu moved a several bricks on the wall and a familiar door appeared. She took a deep breath and slowly opened it.
“MAYU-CHAN!!!!” a joyful sound greeted her, then an ardent hug, making the girl choked for air.
“Woaaaa~ you look a lot better now. How are you feeling? Are you still hurt? Did you take the medicine? Is anywhere you feel uncomfortable” he asked checking Mayu worryingly.
“I’m…good…” the girl trying to catch for breath “It just a little hard to move the arm” she looked at her injured arm.
“Phew~ when I saw you in the hospital I thought you’re going to die” Akimoto sighed in relief “Just hope that your mother doesn’t know about that, otherwise she would kill me” he sweat dropped.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell her” she said and sat on a chair.
“No, no, no you just don’t get how scary she is. Even she’s at the other side of the world she still knows every single thing going on here, as if she has the eyes everywhere.” He said in horror.
“Then you don’t have to worry because she will kill you sooner or later. Enjoy your life before dead then”
“You heartless niece” he mumbled in tear “Leave! Leave my office!”
“Easy uncle, I’m here to report. Didn’t you want ask me to?”
“Oh! I forgot” he jumped back to his seat “So tell me, how’s thing going in the class?”
Mayu told everything happened in the class, how the students interacted with each other, how good they had performed, how trouble they were,…Mayu didn’t miss anything, even all the fights usually went on, who brought them up. She was being so specific as if she recorded the film of whole class in her head.
“I see” Akimoto nodded “Seems like they’re getting along well”
“Uh huh” she stood up ready to leave
“That’s it?”
“Yeah, what do you want more from me?”
“All right! Have a good day then”
“You too” she said heading to the exit “By the way, I think leader doesn’t suit for me at all, I’m not a type of responsible person. If you want someone to lead the class, Takamina will be the best choice. She is a talent girl. If she has a chance to develop leadership skill, she would become a good left hand for you, just needs to practice more.”
“What about you?”
“Me? I can do the reporter if you want” she turned to look at her uncle the last time before she closed the door.
“Sound great” Akimoto smiled mysteriously, “But then no one gonna report you, don’t forget you’re also a member of the class”
“Isn’t that why you have me” girl walked out from behind the curtain said
“Minegishi Minami”
“Yes, you called me principal”
“Where’s my report?”
“Here” she put a pack of papers with a title Special Class on the ancient desk.
The principal took a brief look at them and spoke “Good”, making the girl smiled victoriously
“But…”
“But?”
“You missed the part when Mayu back after being attacked, the part shows how the girls worked well together, the most important part!!!!!!!” Akimoto shouted fiercely.
“That’s…that’s…” the girl stuttered in horror.
“That’s what? You better have a good explanation for me”
“Well…because…” she muttered in her mouth, as if she was about to swallow her words “…the mushrooms Haruna brought back were so good…so I thought…ifI could have some more before the girls all wake up…but then, I guess I had a wrong one…which ended up getting unconscious…” she lowered her head to the maximum, hoping that it’d be better for her ear, however, seemed like didn’t work at all. Akimoto’s voice like the arrows penetrated her poor ear-drums and she had to handle for hours.
======================
“Where are we going?” asked the spirit
“No idea”
“I think we should go back to class, they might already decide what to do on the upcoming festival”
“Ugh…” Mayu’s face changed to purple “I completely forgot about that” a sweat dropped on the light pink cheek, a bad feeling sudden flew into her mind.
She had no choice but back to class, as soon as she reached the door she could hear the bang bang sound inside, looked like the girls were arguing about something, again.
“The fashion show will be the best” shouted Tomochin as she slapped into the board on the wall
“No, a restaurant, how can we have enough space for you to do a fashion show?” Sae bit back
“I think a danso café would be good” Jurina showed her charming’s smile “Or maybe host café”
“We should open a shop to sell my magazine, it’ll bring a huge income” Mariko spoke with her bossy tone.
“Have a sleeping contest to see who can sleep the most”
“Have a fan-meeting for the idol of the school, Maeda Atsuko”
Looking at the girls, Mayu couldn’t help but thought
They don’t even care if I have come back… as she quietly walked through the fighting people to her chair.
“Chiyuu~” a voice sudden came from the behind her.
“Oh hi”
“Did you feel better?” she smiled
“Yeah, at least I can move it” moved her arm
“Glad to hear it, we were so worried when see you covered in red” the girl terrified as she remembered the scene.
“Well, thank you for worrying for me” Mayu bowed, which making Tomochin a bit surprised.
“By the way where’s the other? We seem like missing some people” she said feeling the emptiness in class.
“Takanima is organizing some stuffs in the office, she will come soon. Yuko is with her Basketball club, they going to have a competition with the other school on one of the days of dfestival. And about Rena, she have been practicing with the Archery club recently, look like they would have a little shows for the guests”
“I see” Mayu updated the information to her Cyborg’s system, and then
*BANG!*
The classroom door sudden wide opened, walking into it was a small but powerful person. She raised her voice “I have decided”,
Her statement gained the attention of the whole class.
“We’ll do a commemoration for Yuki on the festival”
The spirit was frozen.
Alright! new chapter, sorry for lacking of information on the last chapter, I forgot to explain about the red string. But i think a lot of you already know about it, and it makes me really happy. Because you immediately get what I mean when it says red string, which making the story more romantic xDDD. It's time for me to sleep, good night and have great day for some people >:] I'll update the fanart later.
