Written in the stars - AmaNene (HanaNene)

Chapter 13

Yashiro hummed a little while sweeping the floors. She had to help out somehow. She was Amane's fiancé and was living here, right? She knew her name faintly was Yashiro Nene. She didn't have any contact information on her to get any of her family member's attention. So being here was her only option. "Nene, sweetheart?" a small voice rang to her ears from the kitchen. It was Amane's mother. "Yes?" she asked back while walking up to the kitchen entrance. The mother smiled happily while looking to her future daughter-in-law. "When you are done with the sweeping, would you please set the table for dinner? The plates and everything should be in the cabinet behind you." Yashiro turned around and stared curiously but smiled with a nod. She agreed and quickly went to go finish the sweeping. She was sweeping by the front door when it opened, and she saw Amane walk in. He looked tired and stressed about something. It worried her a little. Wait. Wasn't this a good time to thank him for saving her life? She saw Amane look up to her and she welcomed him home. He thanked her before changing his shoes. Starting a conversation is a way to lead to another.

She hummed and asked how school was, but no response. She asked once more, and it was the same result. It felt useless at this point. Like he was avoiding or something. She decided to just say it. Shouting his name and making him stop halfway up the stairs, she thanked him. He blushed severely and Yashiro faintly blushed herself. That was cute. Even if he didn't respond back to her. She guessed breaking that shell really was going to be hard. Like cement. Nevertheless. She agreed. After getting another story of yesterday from his mother. The reason why they are engaged. She went to the sweep by the bathroom door and suddenly felt a shiver up her spine from behind the door. Like something was watching her. She quickly turned to the door and seeing it cracked open. Something was telling her not to go to that bathroom, but something also was feeling like dragging her in. Taking a step forward, she reached to the knob. The lights were off, but she heard a sound from there. She was going to open the door to see if it was Tsukasa in there messing around, but their mother called her once again. She turned her head away from the door and removed her hand from the knob. "Yes?" she asked before the bathroom door flew open and the lights were flickering. She saw a figure before it suddenly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her through the door.

Amane jumped a bit as he heard a loud scream from downstairs. "Yashiro?" he asked worried and ran down the stairs. He noticed his mother looking around worried. She was holding her hand to her chest and looking around quickly. Asking Yashiro's name and where she was. Amane then started to panic himself and looked around also. "Yashiro?! What's wrong?! Where are you?!" he screamed before noticing the broom she was sweeping with next to the bathroom door. He picked it up and looked to see the bathroom lights flickering. He rose a brow and stared intensely. Why was it flickering? They never had problems before. Yet he suddenly saw the bathroom look slightly different. Like a different bathroom in the school? But it was between the flickers. "Tsukasa said she wasn't from here... Maybe I could get answers?" he asked himself before looking to the broom. He noticed his hand shaking. Damn he was scared. But... Yashiro was probably more scared. He looked back to the bathroom and saw the flickering again. He took a deep breath in and nodded. "Okay. I need to save Yashiro." he said to himself. He watched carefully at the bathroom. Waiting for it to change again. He waited patiently, holding the broom tightly. 

Yashiro screamed as she was suddenly pulled through and then on the floor of a... school bathroom? She looked around and turned to see a stall door open. There was nothing there. There was no one anywhere. She was shaking and starting to have water swell in her eyes. Where was she? How did she get here? She slowly stood up and held her arms to herself. Looking around the bathroom. The chill was still up her body. Like something or someone was watching her. "Yashiro..." a voice she knew well sang quite low. She then smiled and turned around but came face to face with something different... No. Someone. She fell down confused. "A-Amane? Is that you? Why are you see through? Where are we? What is this?" she asked scared, and he remained quiet. Staring down at her with dark intent. "A-Amane, you're scaring me..." she cried and started to lean away. She started to scoot away, but Hanako grabbed a bucket of water. He held it and threw it at her. Yet suddenly just as the water was flying in the air, Amane's past self-flew through the stall doors and he got drowsed with water. Hanako blinked and then growled more. 

Amane was flying and landed in a bathroom of the school, but then hit with a lot of water. He was soaked and was confused on why he was. He sat up, turned to his right and saw... Himself? But he looked severely pissed and in pain. What in the hell was happening? Was he in another world or something? Why did he look dead? Completely see-through. He heard a gasp and turned his head the other way to see Yashiro. "Yashiro!" he exclaimed while jumping to her. She was crying and then holding onto him. Amane blushed a little, but then got confused when he noticed her skin starting to scale up when she hugged him. She even felt in and got scared and confused. It was scaring them both to the point she wanted to run with Amane away, but more water was thrown. It got Yashiro this time. Amane wiped his face and then felt Yashiro gone. He was confused before looking down and seeing a fish. It was flopping and crying. But Amane felt murderous intent from beside him... From him? Turning his head over, he saw himself pulling out a knife. He looked feverish and having a bad headache. He was barely even floating. 

"Back away from Yashiro." Hanako spoke with a growl and low tone. Amane blinked once before looking down. Then it dawned on him. Scales, fish, Yashiro. Yashiro was this fish! He quickly picked her up and held her close while standing up himself. "No way! I have no idea why you look like me and why you turned Yashiro into a fish, but you will turn her back to normal! Take us back home!" he screamed, but Hanako glared even more. Raising his knife. "Give her back to me!" he screamed before jumping at himself. Amane gasped and jumped out of the way. He rolled and made sure Yashiro wasn't squished. He was starting to shake really bad. Why did this ghost look like him?! Why was he after Yashiro?! Why did he turn her into a fish?! There were so many questions he needed answers to, but he wasn't getting them. All he was getting was almost stabbed to death by a ghost that looked like him! Hanako flew over once again, but Amane jumped and then started to run out the bathroom. Down the halls. He had to get out of here! But why was his school looking so old?! How old was this place?! 

Yet he knew where he was. He quickly ran down the stairs and down halls. Till a familiar face he knew went by him. He knew the face, but it was different. He stopped for a second. His teacher? No. It couldn't be. The teacher also stopped and stared surprised. "Amane?" he asked. Just as Amane was going to ask the teacher's name, he saw the ghost that looked like him flying at him around the corner. Amane went pale and then continued to run. Tsuchigyumori looked back and forth from behind him at Hanako to Amane. "Oh no..." he said, before Hanako flew past him also. It was a mess. Amane Jumped out the doors and to the school gates. He was breathing so heavily about to pass out. He hasn't ran like this, besides from Tsukasa. He got to the gates and jumped out. Just as Hanako was behind him, reaching for his foot. He missed and was stopped from being bound to the school. Amane was laying by the streets and seeing Hanako on all fours on the other side of the gate. He was shaking and crying, but Amane wasn't sure why. Hanako was then smiling and the breathing was shaking. "I'll kill you if you don't give her back. I'll kill you. I'll kill you. I'll kill you!" he screamed, while Amane shook and leaned away. He held Yashiro closer and screamed "No way! I don't trust you! You may look like me! But you aren't me! There is no way I am giving her to you!"
