I just really miss your face

This might be last chap or one of the last chap so be prepared people oh yeah and mentions of blood and wounds, and chapter 71 spoilers⚠⚠⚠

Akane stepped towards the light, ending up in a empty hallway at Kamome Gakuen, their high school. There was a small smile on his face, and he turned around looking for Aoi, but she wasn't there. "Ao-chan..... Where are you?.." he mumbled. "Ao-chan?.. AO-CHAN!" he asked again but louder, still not a single word from her. "PRESIDENT! AO-CHAN'S NOT HERE WE NEED TO SEARCH FOR HER, QUICKLY!" he walked around, informing Teru.

"President?.." he said in a softer voice. 

"Akane-san isn't here" Teru got straight to the point. "Since she wasn't in a state.. where she could have returned. From the moment she stepped foot in that place.. Akane-san was no longer.. One of the living" ".... huh?" Akane was quite confused of what Teru just said. "No longer one of the living?.. What.. What are you saying? To say that Ao-chan can't return.. Your kidding right?" Teru didn't answer him, staring out the window. 

"You knew this already?.. Right from the start?" "More or less.. Yes."

Akane was filled with rage that Teru had lied to him, he punched him straight in the face, and put him against the wall. His eyes were wider, and was filled with both worry for Aoi, and rage for Teru. "Why did you never tell us before??" "Even if I told you.. It wouldn't have done anything for her.. Are you done?" Akane gritted his teeth, and yelled out "I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" he threw Teru back.

"What are you doing?" "Isn't it obvious? I'm going back to Ao-chan!" One of the bandages ripped slightly, uncovering the wound on his stomach a little releasing the pressure, making him bleed from the gash in his stomach. He fell to the floor in pain, coughing up blood. The blood dripped to his chin, and Teru rushed over. 

Teru held his arm, trying to help him up. "You can't.. It's no help even if you try" "LET GO!.. As if I could leave her alone in a place like that" Teru used his right arm, which was still holding Akane to push him against the floor, sword in his left hand. He punched akane, telling him "Just what do you think you can do to help when your dying?.. Also, it's impossible to go back the passage ways are closed."

"SHUT UP.. why??.. why did you only bring me back??" 

Teru didn't respond to that, he couldn't tell Akane. This wasn't really the good time for a confession, was it? "Stay right here" A big supernatural appeared behind them, with tons of eyes, big hands with thin arms, and spikes coming out of it. Teru pulled out his sword, ready to attack and the supernatural charged at him.

Crack Crack Crack.. 

The supernatural turned into a handful of glass shards, cracking and those shards dissappeared as well. Out of all of Teru's years and experience with super naturals, he had never seen this happen before. This was totally out of character for super naturals, and he knew instead of celebrating that the supernatural just cracked apart, he knew something was wrong. Teru pulled Akane by the back of his collar "Get up Aoi, we need to treat your wound quickly.. Let's go meet The Clock Keepers.. it seems we're running out of time" 

🕰

Hanako was sitting on the window of an empty classroom, dangling his legs. He counted the super naturals outside, and within seconds they all cracked away into nothing. Yashiro walked in. "Ah there you are! Hanako-kun.. you just left all of a sudden!.. Me and Sumire-chan were looking for you, You know" "Let's go Hanako-kun! and save Aoi-chan!" 

Hanako didn't reply to her. "Is something wrong?"

"Oh I'm just thinking about that it's about time" "What do you mean.."about time" ?.." The bell rang throughout the room, making a loud sound that shocked Nene. "The bell!?.. But why?.. It's the middle of the night.. Hey Hanako-kun, is something about.. to start?" "It's the severance." He said blankly to her, the moon shining behind him but what was wrong, is that parts of his body was chipping away into glass-like shards.

"Hanako-kun?? What's wrong with your body.. I-it's shattering?.." He stepped towards her.  "Now that there is a sacrifice, the near shore and the far shore will be completely seperated from now." "What do you mean?.." He pulled her wrist, bringing her close to him in an embrace. "We supernaturals.. will disappear from this place"

"Don't worry Yashiro... Soon you will have nothing to do with all of this anymore. You'll forget about me, but you'll be able to live just like you said. You'll be able to graduate, go to college, get a job, get married, have kids.. or hamsters like you wanted"  He put two of  his fingers to her forehead, pointing directly at it. 

"STOP IT!" Yashiro screamed out, and a blast of energy came from her, knocking Hanako away. "Hanako-kun.. what do you mean by forgetting?.."  "Your always like this, not saying a word about anything and deciding everything all by yourself! Now, explain!" 

"Your wish has been fulfilled Yashiro" "Didn't you make a wish? That you wanted to live longer in the real world.. thought I don't know if it extended enough to get you to a 100 years old." "I'll.. get to live?.." "Yes, are you unhappy?" "Not at all.. but is that true?.. And why so suddenly?" "Because Aoi-chan has died in your place" he smiled at her, with a big toothy smile. 

"Back then.. when I said that this is not what I wanted though.. I wanted to live with all of us together and have fun.. The world I've been in for a year. With you and Aoi.. Not all of this!.. I didn't want any of this.." She said that last bit as a whisper. "But Yashiro. I like you better than Aoi-chan you see.. I'm going to disappear eventually too even if it's not right now. I'm sorry, but you'll be okay. You'll still forget me someday"

Yashiro lifted her arm, and Hanako prepared for her to slap him, but she put her hands on his shoulders and squeezed it. She looked down "Please.. don't go.. Hanako-kun!" "I wanted to live with you too, Yashiro" he put his arm around her, and Yashiro realized she wasn't holding anything anymore and the glass shards started floating away, him almost being completely gone by now. 

All of the glass shards of what was left of Hanako-kun flew away, disappearing into nothing. She dropped to the floor, in tears. "Why?.."

🕰

Tsuchigomori felt weird, like a weird tingling sensation. He was just telling off Yako to go to sleep because it's almost midnight now, and she had still been awake. He stopped in the middle of his sentence, and looked down at his hands. Parts of his arm were cracking off into crystal-like pieces and falling on the floor.

Yako looked at his hands as well, curious what made him stop. "You look like someone just took a bite out of you" she commented, "Yako, this isn't the time to be joking around" "Ok geez.. I still think that you look like someone took a bite out of you though" she mumbled. "But what's happening though?"

"It's the severance" "Ah that thing we discussed in the meeting a few weeks ago?" (refer to chapter 5/"And if the world was perfect") "You really can't take things seriously can you?" "Wonder why it's happening now.." "Number seven and his assistant probably just did something stupid" "Makes sense"
