House Of Memories

~9~

Kazuha was joining the light in that dream, going away with his translucent spirit.

  "No... No... No... Noooooooo" Nahida's head gradually became filled with sadness, and with each feeling she felt, more and more tears began to roll down her cheek.

Nahida begins to cry as she struggles to accept the truth in front of her. She didn't even have time to think about what had happened because it was so unexpected. At this time, she could feel a warm tear drop streaming down her cheek. Nahida's mind gradually became filled with sadness, and with each and every feeling she felt, more and more tears began to roll down her cheeks. Kazuha stated a few words before disappearing from Nahida's sight.

"If I apologized, will you forgive me?" 

Nahida slowly turns her head and sees Kazuha, his figure slowly starts to fade away as it slowly turns into dust. "I... It's happening... He's really... He's really dying... I-I can't.." Tears slowly start to drip down from her eyes, and with each and every drip that fell down her cheeks, her heart gets filled with more and more grief. No, I... I don't wanna see him to die! I have to help him!

She could only communicate her emotions via tears since no words could explain how she felt. Later, Nahida understood that everything made sense. Hikaru was a grim reaper, which is why he is after Kazuha's soul. Kazuha also arrived in Nahida's nightmares since he had to say farewell. Hikaru has always been Kazuha's grim reaper. As a result, she carefully rises from Hikaru's lap and steps back, her eyes welling up with tears. She considers pleading with him not to take his soul, but she simply needs more time to absorb what occurred.

I need more time. I just need time to process all of this. Please... I can't just accept that he's gone...

"Hikaru..." She utters while wiping away her tears with her arm. "Please... just... just let me have some time with his soul. Just for a little while longer!" Hikaru nodded, as he gave Nahida a necklace.

"That necklace will help you and Kazuha communicate. After it's glow fades away, then this time, it really is goodbye."

She takes the necklace in her hand and slowly puts in around her neck, she feels a sudden surge of warmth around the necklace when it was around her neck. It... It's really happening... The reality in front of me... It didn't change... There's really no hope left... Nahida slowly looks up at Hikaru, a look of grief fills her eyes as she slowly says. "Thank... you... I... I'll use it to make sure... that my last... goodbye with him... is... perfect..." After she put the necklace, Nahida saw Kazuha again, but he's transparent. The spirit let out a smile, waving hi to her.

The moment she saw Kazuha, her heart stopped for a moment and she could only stare at him for a few seconds as the reality in front of her kicks in even more. No... No... I just can't believe this... I just can't... There's no hope left. She slowly raises her hand up and waves back, her face was filled with tears as she lets out a sigh. At this point... I guess I just have to make sure my last goodbye to Kazuha will be my best one yet....

"Greetings, Nahida Hoshino."
