(It's been soo long since I last updated, gomennasai!! I have exams and I spent all of my time studying but now I will start updating more hehe)
"We're thinking Zenitsu may have bipolar disorder..."
Nezuko POV:
After I heard those words, my mind went blank and everything around me was muffle to the background. I couldn't accept it, my childhood best friend was hiding an illness from us. Was he ashamed of it? Did he think we would make fun of him?
Oh Zenitsu, if only you knew that we would try to help you as much as we can, you're our friend and friends have each other's back.
"-uko! Nezuko! NEZUKO!" I started blinking and turned my voice to my distressed brother who sighed in relief after seeing my face turn. At the corner of my eye, I saw Aoi put her phone away.
"Nezuko, are you okay? You were spacing out for a few minutes..." Kanao asked worry evident in her voice.
I sent her a small smile, which obviously wasn't very convincing but she accepted it nonetheless and continued to talk to the others.
"What happened when I spaced out?" I ask my friends.
"Aoi was just explaining what bipolar disorder was, it's basically when someone has more than one personality, like two different people inhabiting one person's body, and Zenitsu probably has that and that's probably why he takes the pills," Tanjiro explains to me as easily as he could.
"Why would Zenitsu try to hide it from us? We wouldn't make fun of him for having that, does he think we'd do that to him??" I question no one in particular.
"Nezuko, calm down, Zenitsu probably didn't tell us because he was scared and it's understandable, he found us after years of having no contact at all with us, maybe he just wasn't comfortable yet, Zenitsu probably would've told us this after he felt more at ease around us, but we found out before, and that means we're going to get to the bottom of this issue!" Aoi says in a confident tone.
I can feel a smile slowly creep onto my face, a real smile, we were going to help Zenitsu and Aya get to the bottom of their dilemma!
Zenitsu POV:
Nonononononononononono! This wasn't meant to happen, Aya wasn't supposed to come here...
Now all my friends probably think I'm a weirdo and I could see it in their eyes, they were scared... scared OF ME.
OF ME! I knew I never should've came back to Japan, everything is going so badly.
No it isn't, they aren't scared of me... they would never, they're all much too kind for that, even Inosuke, then why were their sounds so scared?
Why was Aoi glaring at me?
She was looking at me right? She wasn't glaring
She was watching if I'd react because she doesn't believe me
She believes me, she's just worried
Nezuko! Nezuko was angry, was she angry at me?
Was she angry at Aya?
She should be angry at Aya, Aya is spreading all those false rumours about me.
False rumours, false false false false, they're false rumours right? I didn't do any of them.
But she saw me do it, and she would never lie...
But she did, she told them that I hit them.
Hit them... Hit who?
I didn't hit anyone, I swear I didn't, I promise I didn't. Why doesn't she believe me? Why is she screaming for help?
Who? Who's screaming? I can't see...
I can't hear, I can't hear anything. WHY CAN'T I HEAR ANYTHING?
Why is it so loud? WHO'S SCREAMING? Is it me, am I screaming? No, it sound's like a girl's...
Someone... help me, please
Tanjiro POV:
We were looking for Zenitsu everywhere, the library, the rooftop, the classrooms, but it was like he disappeared.
Suddenly we heard a scream, a very loud scream at that and we all bolted to the source.
What I saw horrified me to the core...
Zenitsu was choking Aya, his eyes were foggy and he kept on mumbling some words to himself. His hands left Aya's neck for one second and then they were back there again.
It's like he was fighting himself.
So is this what Aoi was talking about, shaking out of my stupor, Me and Inosuke ran to Zenitsu and tried to pry his hands off, he was strong but we eventually grabbed them and held it tight. Some of the girls ran to Aya and some of them started to cry at her state, but in the end she was carried to the nurse's office.
The other students looked at Zenitsu with varying emotions of horror, anger, confusion and disgust.
"What are you all looking at? GET LOST! This isn't something that concerns you, unless you would like to get kicked right in your faces," Nezuko glared and all of the students gulped and left.
"ZENITSU! ZENITSU! ZENITSU! SNAP OUT OF IT!" Aoi yelled snapping her fingers in front of his lost eyes.
Zenitsu didn't seem to hear her and just stared, then he started to grab his head and I could hear him mumbling something, we all could.
"Help, help, please help, she's in danger, Aya's in danger... no she IS the danger" he kept on saying that over and over again.
If I said I was calm, I would be lying because I was terrified, not of Zenitsu, but what he's gone through... what had happened to him while he was overseas?
Kanao was by far the most calm, but that didn't mean she wasn't worried, Zenitsu was like a brother to her, she quickly looked at Aoi and touched 4 pressure points, in his neck, stomach, back and chest.
He regained his normal eyes again, before promptly collapsing against me.
"Thanks Kanao... We should definitely take him to Ms Tamayo, Tanjiro can you call Zenitsu's grandfather, he needs to know what's happening,"
"I will carry Monitsu to Ms Tomato!" Inosuke volunteered.
Nezuko looked at Zenitsu and tears were clouding her eyes.
"We can help him right? There's something that can help him isn't there?" she asks Aoi, and I was pained to see my little sister so scared.
"DID doesn't have an exact medication, it requires therapy and talking to a mental health professional, I'm guessing he just took the medication because he didn't want to bother anyone by going to a therapist," she says sighing sadly at the unconscious boy."
"Don't worry Nezuko! We're going to help him as much as we can! And if the most we can do is support him, then that's what we'll do!" I say trying to life her spirits.
"I guess so,"
