Without Him (Takagi San fanfic)

Chapter 7: Searching

A/N Lets go 444 views. that must be good luck. I might stop doing the parenthesis because it's kinda obvious when they don't say it out loud. Lets get right into it...

Nishikata's POV:

I flew around every where I could think of. I went to the empty lot where we had our hide and seek match and embarrassed myself in front of Houjou and Hamaguchi. I could feel myself blushing but its not like anyone could see me so I guess I didn't care that much. 

I went to school and found Tanabe Sensei at his desk but no one was at school. I have no idea what time or even day it is. I could tell it has been a couple days because no one could set up an event for my death that quick. but was it Saturday or Friday? AND WHERE ON EARTH IS TAKAGI?

I stepped in the classroom to see what Tanabe sensei was doing. I looked inside the open drawers and see that its full of chalk. perfect chalks. 

"That's strange... why does Sensei have all this chalk?"

"...What...was...that..." He was stunned

Oh crap, I forgot. I Really need to be careful. It seemed he was doing his normal grading so i left the school to continue my search

I went to the tunnel where we had a test of courage. I flew threw and it wasn't even dark. It's like I had a torch with me. this was a strange feeling but this was not the strangest thing that happened to me in the past couple hours, or... couple days maybe? I don't know. I glided through and couldn't find her. She usually came her when she wanted to be alone. I remember why she took me here. 

*Flashback

After the festival she said "Hey Nishikata, remember when I took you to the test of courage?"

Me still blushing cuz she was holding my hand "Yea? why are you bringing that up" I was embarrassed because I was such a wimp in there.  

"Well I intended to take you there to show one of my favorite spots to go when I get sad"

"Wha-" I don't know why but I've been looking at Takagi like an invincible being, that could do whatever she wanted. I never thought about her getting sad. Yep I'm an idiot. OF COURSE SHE HAS FEELINGS I'M SO DUMB.

*End flashback

I smacked my head. Gosh I'm an idiot. I came out the other end and found no one there.  If she's not here then where is she?

I searched all day and for her. It was night and I was losing all hope. I checked my list again. Ok she's not at 

the lot,

school,

the tunnel,

the hospital,

her house,

candy store,

probably not sulking around the streets, I surely would've seen her.

Where, oh where could she be???

I was not tired or anything so I decided to go to Kimura's house. Takao was there when I got there. 

"Any luck?" Kimura asked him when he walked in

"Nah man, This is getting impossible" he responded closing the door

"I know the run was today. I was sure she was gonna show up"

"I know. I even waited 30 minutes before and after the event"

"Thanks for that bro. I forgot to thank you."

"You were supposed to be there 30 minutes before too." he retorted

"I know I had to eat breakfast" Kimura said

"You owe me a juice" Takao forced

"Ugh... Fine" he said reluctantly

Are they talking about Takagi? What do they mean she would show up? if they are talking about her then she was gone. no one knew.

Kimura's mom walked into his room

"Its been 2 weeks since his passing. Please give it a rest, I know you boys are concerned but you are not yourselves anymore. So please"

They looked at each other and said "Alright" in unison. heads down. I stood there in disbelief. 3 WEEKS?? That's insane I only left for a couple hours

Dejected and alone I went to the beach. It normally would be a 30 minute walk. But I'm guessing I could probably get there in 10 with my knew floating powers. I could not stop thinking about what happened. I just couldn't remember for the life of me how I died. I woke up in the hospital that's all I can remember.

I reached the foot of the beach and saw a figure at the edge of the cliffs. Hair and dress waving in the wind...

Takagi's POV: 

I ran away from the hospital. I was crying my eyes out. Nishikata was gone... Forever. I couldn't handle the pain in my heart. So I ran away. I went to the tunnel where I took Nishikata. 

I took him there so I could confess but I didn't have the guts and just teased him the whole time. Then I tried to explain it to him but I said that's where I go when I'm sad. Agh I'm so stupid. It's true, I do go there when I'm sad but when I'm with him I can't hold the truth. If only he knew how to push my buttons. This romance of ours would be the other way around. If he asked something like "How do you feel when your around me" I would get all flustered and I would have no idea how to lie around him. but now that's never gonna happen because i blew and Nishikata- --die-d for- -m-e. I couldn't think about it without breaking into tears. 

I got home. and I stayed in my room only coming out for meals and the occasional hello My mom was getting really worried. after about a week and a half I made up my mind. I went downstairs My mother was not home. Thank the heavens. I wrote down a long letter saying I love you and stuff. I also added an extra tidbit.

*Letter

By the way, the car that hit Nishikata and is essentially responsible for his death, the license plate is 8DU73. 

A/N Your welcome @TopRedNinja Her mom will file a lawsuit

I love you very much

-Rie Takagi

*End Letter

I finished and left the note on the table. Then I took my treasured belongings and headed out. I went around the neighborhood and stopped at our favorite spots like the empty lot and the candy store. I was so sad. It was evening and I decided to go to one final place. The place where Nishikata finally took my hand. of course everything would be packed up but to have the final place be the place of the summer festival. It was just so fitting...

A/N Wow I wrote this in a single day. That's wild. Where could she be going? who did Nishikata see? Find out in the next chapter...

 I wanted to get a chapter out before the weekend since I don't publish on weekends. So here it is I hope you liked it. 

Anyways, don't forget to smile
