Thank you for all the supporting, I promise I'll write and update as soon as I can. Here's chapter 11, enjoy guys :]
Chapter 11: Usotsuki, the liar worm The clouds began to form their shape, cold air could feel from everywhere. The little drops heavily fell from the sky, immediately it occupied all the area. The rain strongly impacted the surface of the windows, bang sounds were created along with the heavy and sad feeling.
Students were left the school, also teachers, it already dusk. However, there were some exceptions. For example, in the infirmary, some students were fell asleep while waiting for their teacher to come back. Unfortunately, she didn’t come back because of an emergency call and forgot to inform them.
Hm..? the midget woke up from her sleep by the loudly rain, she slowly scanning through the room. With her haft opened eyes, she could still see it clearly.
Mariko was sleeping peacefully on her own bed like a princess meanwhile Acchan, Tomochin and Rena were sharing one, through their faces, Takahashi could tell that they were having a nightmare of lacking sleeping space, she quietly shaking her head and turned to her teammates’ side, they weren’t better than the others, well even worse. Sae and Jurina were scrambled for bed, while Tomomi being kicked out and sleeping on the floor. The chairman just signed as she saw the scene.
These girls are helpless…Takahashi thought as she remembered someone
Hm?...Where is Mayu? The kaichou quickly found Mayu standing next to the window. When she took a closer look, she realized the girl was fell asleep while standing, she was leaning against the window.
Majide…? Takahashi staring at the Cyborg speechlessly.
Then she saw the rain outside, black clouds were filled the sky. Taking a look at the clock, it already five. The school ended about 2 hours ago, even all the club activities. Takahashi wondered why Miichan didn’t look for them for the afternoon class, but then she remembered they had a free class in the last two periods.
The heavy rain outside and the quiet air inside gave Takahashi an unsafe feeling, she couldn’t forget the face of Teketeke, a bloody face looking for her legs. The chairman began to worry, fear was rising inside her.
This weather…is perfectly for her to appear… Takahashi thought as she stared blankly at the fixed door.
“Maybe I just think too much…” right after the girl just said, a thunder flashed from the horizon making the all the lights flickered, power was off for a several seconds and immediately back.
“Wow that was—” stopped in her mid-sentence, Takahashi didn’t dare to finish it, in front of her was a pale face with the messing hair, the girl smiled and moving closer to the midget’s face.
“Do you have legs?” Teketeke said in a sorrowful voice
Frozen by the sudden appearance of the other party, Takahashi was couldn’t say anything. Luckily, there weren’t only her in the room.
“Wake up Mayu! Mayuyu!!!!” Yuki shouted shaking the Cyborg hardly.
…Silence…
“She appeared, Mayuyu!!!!”
…Silence…
“I said wake up NOW!!!” Yuki madly pushed Mayu’s face into the window’s mirror and rubbing it hardly.
"Mmm...just one more...min mommm" The shorter girl said between her sleep
"How many time I have to tell you. I'm.not.your.mom" Yuki clenched her teethes as she pinched Mayu's ear
"Ow ow ow....itaiiiiiii!!!" the sleeping worm yelled in pain "Why you always be so violence when it comes to wake me up?"
"Cuz you always lengthen the time" the death belle pinched harder
"I-Itai itai so who appeared?" asked Mayu innocently
"Of course it's Tekete---" Yuki sentence was cut off by a scream, she and Mayu immediately turned to the direction of the noise, but they only saw Takahashi, who was holding her head with both of the hands.
The girls began to wake up by the scream, some were confused, some were still haft sleeping, they had no idea what was going on.
“What is going…on?” asked Acchan in a sleeping voice.
"So noisy" said Jurina
“Urusai..." Tomochin murmured as she used the pillow to cover her face.
The others slowly waking up, they gathered around Takahashi and asking the reason of her sudden reaction. She was hesitated at first, but then she decided to tell them everything she experienced from the early of today until now.
When she finished her story, haft was believed haft was not.
“Are you kidding me kaichou?” Jurina asked in unbelievable tone.
“I think it could happen” Rena defended, making Jurina not so happy
“But why didn’t she chasing after us? We also listened to the story”
There was a short silence, all of them were staring at the girl on a bed. Until she broke the awkward silence.
“Actually…when I was little…” Takahashi face was turning red as she talked
“I used to be…a…coward”
All the girls were so shocked that they couldn't even open their mouth. They never thought that the young talented chairman has such a childhood
“I really scared of the ghost stories, especially…the legend of Teketeke” Takahashi stopped
“There was a time, it appeared in my dream every night. I couldn’t get the story out of my head, but as the time goes, it began to fade out …Until this afternoon, Yuko reminded which made all the fear comes back.”
"I see no connection in here" Sae tilted her head aside
“Quiet Sae, you mean she is coming for you?” said Tomochin
“Isn’t it impossible chiyuu~?”
The argue started, every person all had their own ideas, they discussed, discussed until someone sudden raised her voice
"I believe in Minami" Acchan surely said, making everyone staring at her shockingly, normally she was the one who always against Takahashi and now she’s trying to defend her
"I think it possible if something is chasing after her"
"You mean like possessing?" asked Sae
"Yeah" the girl shortly answered, without knowing someone was looking at her
Prossessing hm? thought Mayu as she staring at the spirit next to her
"What?" the girl being stared asked
"Nothing" Mayu said, but as the time she finished her sentence the electric sudden off, gained a loud scream from the girls
"W-What?" Mariko in panicked for the first time as she spoke, she was fully paid attention to others' conversation that didn't say anything from the start
"Just the light off, don't worry" Rena calmed the Mariko by her sweet voice, then embraced her making Jurina got a little jealous.
"You look angry Juri-chan, does something bother you chiyuu~?"
"Nothing" the playgirl replied shortly then she pulled out a little flashlight on her key then threw it to Mariko "Use this"
"T-Thank you" Mariko got blushed, her cool image was collapsed. She never thought that she would let others see her chicken-heart face so easily.
"The hell there is no signal?" said Sae as she checked her phone
"Aghh, how can I liaise my men now?" Tomochin complained and got closer to the window, watching the cars waiting for them outside
"Should we run out chiyuu~?" asked Tomomi innocently
"Yada!!! I don't want to get wet" shouted Acchan
"There are some umbrellas in the store, we can go and get it" the chairman informed them
The girls quietly walked out the clinic, even they only had one flashlight but they had plenty of cell phones. Everyone owned one, especially the Hana no AKB's girls, one of them even owned two or more. As they walked and walked, they forgot a girl, a girl who always at the end of the line. Taking the advantage of darkness, she gradually disappeared inside it.
"Why did you split with the group?" asked Yuki, curiosity began to raise. She and Mayu were alone on the corridor
"I need something in my bag pack" Mayu replied and walked to the opposite direction
"Why don't you tell them? I think they will need their bag pack for the homework either"
Mayu was silenced for a several seconds, and then she spoke
"You saw Teketeke attacked Takamina right?"
"Yeah..."
"What did you feel at that moment?"
"Hmmm..." Yuki tried her best to remember the moment Teketeke appeared "She looked really sorrow, painful yet she's still smiling...however, it felt so...empty. She was there, but..." the speaking girl stopped, thinking a better way to explain to the shorter girl
"She's real but not real, you saw her but could not feel her existence."
"Yes, that's right" Yuki exclaimed in surprise, how could Mayu know all of her unspeakable feelings
"The thing you saw was not Teketeke, its real name is Usotsuki (liar). A worm parasitic in human’s mind, making the unreal thing becomes real. I'm thinking Takamina's nightmares were the reason drew them, since they really love fear. Teketeke is one of their work, they created it based her fear, and the image that’s chasing after her. It only appeared when Takamina worries, for example when she was alone in the washroom this morning, and the only one who awaken in the gloomy weather”
"Wow...”
“What?”
“Sometimes I wonder, you really know a lot Mayu..."
"This was the first time I met it" said Mayu with a blankly face
"Ehh? B-But you sound like you know everything about it?"
"Tsk there's something called book" Mayu smirked at the shocking face, sometimes she really enjoys it, but most of the time... so annoying
Meanwhile…
The girls were nearly reached the store, it was at the end of this corridor but unluckily, there was a girl in problem
Why now??? It almost there Takahashi couldn't stay still, her natural was calling, her legs were trembling.
I need to use the washroom… the poor girl was looking around, hoping she would find one and luckily there’s one right in front of her eyes. She began to lower her speed, observing the girls to make sure them don’t know she went to the toilet. Because it just too embarrassing for her to let the others go to the same washroom while she was using it. She was very scared to be alone, but she had to.
======================
Mayu was dancing a strange move, she was happy because she got her bag pack back.
Sometimes I really don’t understand this girl… thought Yuki as she was giving Mayu a weird look.
“You look so happy huh?”
“Am I?” Mayu replied with a humming tone
You are…Yuki was about to say it loud, but then she decided to keep quiet. She didn’t want to ruin the Cyborg’s mood, she enjoyed to see her smile.
“Yukirin…”
“Huh?” Yuki was surprised, she had told Mayu her real name, but she never called it, even once. This was the first time she had heard her name in awhile, its kinda reminisced.
“Recently, I wonder…why are you following me?” the girl’s tone became serious and calming
“There’s a bunch of people that can see ghost…I meant why not them? But me?”
Yuki was quite for a seconds
“I think…you should ask why not you?” the spirit looking at Mayu sincerely. A long silence was created, two of them didn’t budge an inch, move a muscle or even blink. They Just stood there, staring at each others.
A yell from nowhere suddenly came and broke the ice between them. A long, loud yell that could earn all the attention of people. With no hesitation, Mayu immediately ran to its direction leaving the spirit Yuki behind. She stood there, silenced, watching the direction that the shorter girl ran to.
“What happened?” shouted Mayu who stood at the restroom’s door.
Everybody was inside, the lovely princess Maeda was holding the panicking Takahashi. They both sat on the floor, Mariko, Sae, Tomomi, Tomochin, Jurina, Rena, Yuko and Haruna were standing arou—Wait! What?? Yuko and Haruna??
“Why are you two here?” was the question Mayu wanted to ask, but then she decided to leave it aside. Takahashi’s situation seemed getting worse.
“What was that scream for?”
“We saw Teketeke!!” said Tomochin with a little doubtful in her own words
“She was attacking Takamina chiyuu…” continued Tomomi
“We didn’t know what to do” Sae after
“Then Yuko and Haruna came …” Mariko said
“And she disappeared…” Jurina finished
These guys can make a comedy show…Mayu thought as she going to inside.
“Shiriri-chan~ Where were you this afternoon?” Yuko ran to hug Mayu
“I was in the clinic with the others”
“I see” Yuko said then murmured “By the way, thanks to you guys. I had a good time with Nyannyan”
“What did you do to her?” Mayu asked as she looking askance at her perverted sister, Mayu knows Yuko really well, they both love oshiri but Mayu’s level couldn’t compare to Yuko. She sure sometimes Yuko would do something that would lead to rate R or even NC-17.
“I didn’t do anything” Yuko tried to prove herself “We just slept, since no one came back and it’s very quiet inside the class” the squirrel said as she looking at the trouble girls, Student Council and Hana no AKB always fighting with each others, the class never had a chance to be quiet.
“Don’t tell me you guys were sleeping until now?”
“Yup!”
“So you slept a lot”
“Exactly!!” Yuko showed her dimples with two thumbs up
I’m gonna turn my phone off or she’ll gossip the whole night… Mayu thought as she slowly put her hand inside the pocket.
The rain began to stop, the starry night could have seen. All the members of Special class were walking to their car and yes, Mayu was the last one.
“Hey Takamina!” called the girl
“Hm?”
“Can I talk with you privately?”
“Sure” Takahashi answered and heading to Mayu’s direction, gaining the attention of Maeda.
“Let’s go Acchan, we’re going to shopping now~” Tomochin said as she held Maeda’s hand
“W-Wait!” with that Maeda was being pulled into her car.
“Can you make it quick? I still have a lot of work to do” Takahashi was alone with Mayu at a corner of the school.
“Don’t worry it only takes 2 seconds. Can you turn your back to me?” asked Mayu as she finished putting her black glove on
“Ok…” said the confused girl
Mayu rubbed her hands together then placed it behind Takahashi’s head, she slowly tear off the space on the head. Creating a black hole behind it, keeping the same position, she put one of her hand in and began to searching something in the head. It going deeper and deeper, Mayu’s whole arm was disappeared inside Takahashi’s head.
Mayu was putting her hand in Takahashi's head
Just like she said, it didn’t take a long time, she slowly pulled out a worm, looked like a centipede. Accepting, it was red and long, very long. The centipede struggled in the girl’s hand, with no regret she crushed making it vanished into the air.
“Done”
“Huh? You only want to see my back?” Takahashi had no clue what was going on, of course she didn’t feel anything. While Mayu clearing her head, her time stopped. For her it just a blink.
“See you tomorrow then” Mayu waved her hand and smiled
“Ok, see you and remember don’t be late~” the chairman ran out to her car, leaving the Cyborg alone
After Takahashi just left, Mayu’s smile immediately disappeared, replacing that was a serious face
“I know you’re here”
As the girl finished her words, someone stepped out from the bush
“Kojima Haruna… or I should say the 13th heir of the great onmyouji family”
“Do I know you?” asked Haruna with a blank face
“No, I just did some research about the people I’m gonna be with” replied Mayu with a blank face.
“So you are here to take her away?”
“Her?”
“Kashiwagi Yuki”
“…” Haruna placed a finger on her chin as she tried to remember who’s it.
“Ah…you mean…the Ice Princess?” the girl tilted her head to aside
“Yes”
“Well, I don’t know yet…”
“Are you?”
“Hmm...”
“Answer me”
“….”
“I’m.asking.are.you.going.to.free.her.soul?”
The air head girl just smiled, she didn’t say anything and that made Mayu mad.
“Let me tell you something, SHE’S MINE and no one can take her away from me” Mayu seriously said, the black aura was coming out from her and Haruna could tell.
“Well, before that, don’t you worry where’s your princess now?” the onmyouji girl said looking around the Cyborg
“What?” being slapped back to reality, Mayu just realized Yuki had disappeared since when. She hurried off to find the girl.
“Young love is so cute” Haruna smiled placing a hand on her check then tilted her head, she was acting like a young grandmother.
“Don’t talk like an old lady, you’re still young Haruna” the shadow came out from somewhere said.
“Oh, it’s you, I just did as what you asked”
“Thanks, I bought the one you asked at home” the mysterious shadow smiled
“Hooray ~~ my chocolates~~” the girl happily shouted…
……………………………..
The Cyborg was looking everywhere in the school, in the class, toilet, clinic, corridor, cafeteria, garden, gym, old building, everywhere but she still couldn’t find the girl. The school was too big, with her weak health, she couldn’t search to inch by inch.
She had to uses her head, she had to think even that not something she’d like to do. But if she didn’t then she gonna lose someone very important to her. Mayu thought and thought, where did she miss? Why her brain didn’t work when she needed the most.
But then a wind came and blew from behind, making Mayu remembered, remembered the feeling, the place that when she first met her.
*BANG* the sound of the door loudly opened.
“M-Mayu?” the spirit turned in surprised as she saw Mayu panting at the door, she angrily walking to her.
“Where the heck have you been?? Why didn’t you inform me where you gonna go? What if something happened? And more importantly why did you leave me?” Mayu was like a nuclear boom, all the feelings she had repressed was blew up.
“G-Gomen ne…” Yuki stuttered, she didn’t know what to say, she felt guilty to make Mayu worried but deep inside her heart she was happy, because the girl cares about her a lot.
“Tsk, let’s go home. I’m tired of looking for you” Mayu hurried turning around, she just realized that she spoke a lot of things that she shouldn’t. Her cheeks were burning hot.
Yuki didn’t say anything more, she just smiled and following after Mayu. She enjoyed to watching her from behind, she wanted to hug the tiny shoulder, to place her head on Mayu’s…but she can’t. She’s a spirit, there’s a limit of time and contact area that she couldn’t cross.
You know Mayu, I’m satisfied to watching your back…Note:Onmyouji – A practitioner Onmyondo, a system for divination and for dealing with the paranormal that blossomed during the Heian period.
