Shi no Sensō

Part 4

Takata: What? -looks around then sees a cloaked man with a scythe- What do you want? You are kind of interrupting my feeding.

Cloaked man: I am not letting you through... I am not letting innocent people die.

Takata: -appears in front of him- fight me then.

Cloaked man: If you touch me, then I will.

-their eyes met-

Takata: -growls, clenches her fists and dark matter scattered around her fists-

Male: Taka- -about to grab her-

Cloaked man: -raised his hand towards the man to stop him- no. Let this wolf get angry. -eyes glowed under the hood in front of her-

Takata: -thinking: What? - you are a reaper?... -she whispers-

Cloaked man: yes. You are a hellhound, am I right? You must have to eat. Let's make a deal.

Takata: What's the deal?

Cloaked man: -whispers in her ear-

Takata: -surprised, backs up- No way! I'll never make a deal like that!

Cloaked man: Oh well. -touches her forehead- I forbid you from killing anyone. I'll break the seal until you agree to the deal... -evaporated-

Takata: -collapse-

Male: -catches her- Takata-san

Takata: Hansuke... Erika... Why...

Hansuke: What?

Erika: ...

-the next morning-

Koji: -yawns-

Hikaru: Tired already, Morikawa-kun. -sits down-

Koji: Barely got any sleep last night.

Hikaru: Oh really? What kept you up?

Koji: Nothing.

Hikaru: Come on, Morikawa-kun. -smiles-

Koji: I said it's nothing...

Hikaru: Okay, okay.

-class started, then later on, lunch started-

Koji: -gets up and walks out-

Hikaru: -talking to Naoyuki-

Koji: -on the roof, looking out-

Hikaru: Here by yourself?

Koji: What do you want?

Hikaru: nothing. I just want to ask one question.

Koji: Okay.

Hikaru: Will you jump this building?

Koji: -Looks at her- What?

Hikaru: -has a serious look-

Koji: What the hell is that question? Of course not.

Hikaru: Okay. I was curious of your reaction... -walks off-

Koji: ...

Hikaru: ... -stops- You cursed me, didn't you? Until I asked THE question.

Koji: Y-yes.

Hikaru: ... -walks downstairs-

Koji: -runs after her, grabs her, and kisses her-

Hikaru: -surprised- W-why I am up here, Morikawa-kun?

Koji: I-I don't know. You tell me.

Hikaru: O-okay... Well, can you let go of me?

Koji: Oh. Sorry. -let's go-

Hikaru: ... I'll see you later... -walks downstairs to the classroom-

Koji: -sighs- ...

-After school-

Naoyuki and Hikaru: -walking home-

Naoyuki: Are you okay, Hika-chan? You haven't been really talking ever since lunch.

Hikaru: Yeah I am fine. -walks faster-

Naoyuki: -hugs her- something is wrong, Hikaru... don't lie to me...

Hikaru: ...
