Written in the stars - AmaNene (HanaNene)

Chapter 18

The sun rose and Yashiro got up bright and early. She looked down to the sleeping boy beside her. She didn't want to wake him, because he looked so peaceful. Cuddled a little close to her, but he was sleeping peacefully. Yet she slowly and quietly got up and tiptoed out of the room. She sighed and turned to the kitchen. Making her way down the hall to meet with Kou and Teru. They looked like they had been awake for a while, but not that long. "Good morning Nene." Kou hummed happily and then looked curiously. He questioned if Amane was awake, but the girl shook her head no. "I didn't want to wake him. He was sleeping peacefully and didn't want to ruin that for him." Teru hummed and took a bite of his toast. "You really are a sweet girl, Yashiro." He spoke up to make her slightly flustered. Yet Kou coughed and pouted to his brother. Teru chuckled himself and then continued to finish his toast.

"Okay, so. An easier way to get past Hanako is if the boy is unconscious..." Teru spoke while sliding a cloth and jar to Yashiro. "So you have to trust me and use chloroform. He can't know or Hanako will know. Got it? So when Amane starts to gain consciousness, place this to his face. Then sneaking in should be easy and I can keep that disgusting thing at bay. Even exorcising him while I'm at it." Yashiro frowned while holding the belongings in her hands. She stared with uncertainty. She really didn't want to do things without telling him. It felt severely wrong, but it is what they had to do... "Of course..." she whispered before walking back up the stairs and to the bedroom where Amane was sleeping.

She slowly closed the door and tiptoed to sit beside the boy. She stared down at him and look at his faded scratched and bruises. The bandage still on his cheek. He even still had a little bit of bags under his eyes. It saddened her. Gently aging beside the boy, she reached up to play with his choppy bangs. His hair was messy, but it was still a little soft to touch. She stared down to him with a gentle smile but tears lingered in the corners of her amber eyes. She leaned forward to place a gentle kiss to kiss to his lips before backing away. The boy slowly stirred awake and rubbed his eyes. Yashiro quickly whispered, "Keep your eyes closed Amane." The boy listened, but was confused tiredly of course. He laid there asking why. So the girl calmly grabbed the bottle and cloth. Placing some of the substance on the cloth. "Do you trust me?" She asked nervously. It was quiet, but Amane smiled. He nodded and whispered, "Of course I do. This is the plan, isn't it?" Yashiro hummed a small yes and slowly hovered the cloth to Amane's face. "I promise we will get you home. But you have to promise me that you will do your best to be happy. Live. Okay?... I love you Amane." The boy was going to ask a question of why, but a cloth was to his face. Yashiro whispered to just keep his eyes closed and breathe... to place Amane back asleep.

"Haven't you heard?"

"Heard what?"

"The latest things that have been happening in the girls bathroom in the old building."

"What?"

"About Hanako the bathroom ghost. You know how if you knock three times; Hanako will appear and grant your wish, but will take something in return. Yet.. lately there has been missing people lately and blood in the third stall."

"B-blood?!"

"Yeah. I'm guessing if you can't give Hanako what she wants in return, she will take your life."

"No way!"

Hanako was sitting in the stall, before holding himself and crying. He was holding his head and screaming. Darkness surrounding him and pain flowing through his entire soul.

If one doesn't follow the rumors... they fade from existence.

Tsukasa blinked surprised before floating to his brother in worry. He held him while Hanako was shaking severely. "Amane. What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. Hanako couldn't speak though. He was going through so much pain already. Enough that he shut down completely and his eyes were black. The body frozen on the stall toilet seat. Staring into space. "Amane? You okay? Amane?" Tsukasa asked before he was suddenly grabbed by the throat. Tsukasa was surprised and stared down to see his brother in a mode unknown. He wasn't even looking at his own little brother. His body just moving on its own. "A-Amane! I will grant your wish! Just let me go! I promise!" He choked a bit, before Amane released him and went back to sitting still. Tsukasa held his throat before smiling happily. This was something that he liked to see. "I'll get right to work Amane~" he hummed before floating out of the stall.

Tsukasa floated all the way to the broadcast room with a smile. He sang for the assistant he had. Clinging to her happily and humming. She didn't move while holding her book. "Sakura, I need you to do something for me~" he hummed happily while jumping off her and floating beside her. She turned to face him curiously. He smiled bright with his eyes wide. "I need you to say the rumor of number two again. But say that if you fall in, you will meet with Hanako the bathroom ghost." Sakura was surprised to hear what Tsukasa was planning. Yet she turned to the mic with a frown. She didn't want to do this at all. She loved Yashiro as an actual friend. She could only hope that Yashiro could get out of this alive... along with Hanako's past self.
