"your going through with it?" mai asked unsure, naru looks away from her and back to the arrogant ass of a teacher. 

"we'll be turning the zuzo curse back on the person who started it. we have very little time before the last few spirits finish consuming eachother and continuing the zuzo. once that occures death is all that awaits mr matsuyama. most likely in a VERY painful, brutal way. but before that happens-" naru was cut short of his sentence as laughing could be heard from the doorway. everyone turned their heads to face the man, mr matsuyama stood there and laughed.

"ill be spared wont i? haha ha i didn't do anything why should i be the one to die im innocent hahahahaah ha ha " he continued. clearly fucking not mate, someone wants you dead for a reason and everyone knows it but you. your a horrible person. 

"SIR need i remind you that you were the cause of all this. DON'T forget that." naru spoke harshly. 

"wait a minuet naru." munk caught our attention. "suchoichi is dead can you even remove the curse?" he asked confused. 

"turning a zuzo back onto a dead person is impossible but that's irrelevant since he's not the one who's responsible for the zuzo in the first place. when you reverse a zuzo it returns to whoever cast it although they weren't aware of it and the consequences th-" i cut him off when it all pieced together in my head.

"the students." i said sadly looking at everyone. "there the ones responsible for starting it." i told them. 
all there faces showed concern and shock. mai looked scared.

"but what will happen to them? she asked in the saddest most worried voice ever. no one answered her. you could tell she was working it out in her head. no one wanted to be the one to tell her. she finally understood and the anger began to build in her, "YOU CANT DO IT NARU! theres gotta be a better way!"

"so you'd rather us ignore matsuyamas death?" naru replied, she was taken back by this. he might be an arse but he doesn't disserve to die. no one disserves that. "failure to realise the end result is no excuse for the students. even if they arent punnished by the law, if matsuyama dies they'll be accessories to murder. the curse will revert back to the students. this man who CAUSED all this WILL repent his sins in one way or another. that sounds like a fair deal to me."

"naru no" mau said saddened 

"mr shibuya what will happen to us students once the zuzo is returned back to us?" yasso inquired about his possible safety. 

"because it is such a large number of people who cast it the power should be divided evenly amongst everyone weakening its effects. at least thats what im hope will happen." mai went to complain more but yasso wasnt done. 

"we came to you to resolve this mess. if theres really no other way to finish this..."

"there isnt."

"then you have out permission to move forwards." yasso bowed and accepted it. yea i don't know if you know this but he's naru. he doesn't need permission. 

"SO MISTER MATSUYAMA GETS OFF TOATALLY UNHARMED BUT ALL THE STUDENTS COULD GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED?! HOW COME HE'S THE ONLY ONE THATS SAFE?! THATS NOT FAIR AT ALL!"

"murder is never an option in our society no matter how a person conducts themselves."

"BUT THE POSSIBLE DEATH OF HUNDREDS IS OKAY?!" i don't wanna be here anymore. 

"i think its reasonable for everyone to bare the responsibility of there own actions." i wanna be back at the office. in the den cuddled up with lin. not here playing god with peoples lives. 

"but they... they didnt know what they were doing!" mai was crying. shes got a big heart and this is tearing her apart. 

the two went at it some more and i stood there wondering, actually wondering whoes side im on. how crazy is that? its peoples lives and yet i dont know where i stand on it. i know naru, i know that he wouldnt kill anyone no matter the siduation. i know he might have a plan but im still not convinced this is at all a good idea. they didnt know. they were just pawns in a bigger game. does that mean  they diserve to die? no. does it mean they shouldn't get punished? no they should be just not like this. never like this. 

"I HATE YOU NARU! DO YOU HEAR ME?! YOUR A TERRIBLE PERSON!" i can tell that shattered him, to everyone else it looks like he's just acting how he usualy does but i can see what they dont. the second those words flew out her mouth that boy broke. he closed his eyes in an attempt to block the veiw of mai crying. 

"lin lets get ready to move" i commanded before begining to take his leave. he walked past mai and i could see him look down at her in sadness. he never wanted mai to hate him. i could tell. mai never once moved her possition never moving. not even to glance at the boy as he left the room. 
the others began to attempt to reason with her.

"i know" she said with tears streaming down her face, "i know hes right but still i cant always just do as he says." she wiped her tears away "and i could care less if he doesnt like me for it but it not right" she couldnt stop the tears that kept falling. i went over and pulled her into a hug. rubbing her back as she cried into my embrasse. "it's just not right!" 

we stood in the room. all we could hear was the sound of mai crying, nothing else was said. no one esle was bothering to do anything. 
i know where i stand. 

"im stopping him" mai said as she pulled away "i have to. he's making a terrible mistake." she ran out the door. and into the hallways. 

we all followed after her needing to know what she was trying to do. i know where i stand. i know where she stands. and i know what needs to be done. she got to the parking lot to see the car gone. this girl can certainly run fast Jesus Christ. 

i stopped chasing after mai when we got to the parking lot. i saw lola and tried to fill her in on everything but she stopped me. 

"(Y/N) im sorry....
