[A new years treat for y'all, happy Chinese new year!]
Ichinosei pov
My eyes widen in disbelief, the girl who was sobbing was..me?
At the same time the girl's eyes also widen in disbelief
"What!!" We both exclaim
"Who are you" the girl shouts, still pointing her phone flashlight at me
'Ok first step to calm someone down is to make yourself seem smaller' I remembered my training and sat down Infront of her
"Look, my name is Ichinosei honami and I think I'm from your future" I explained
Although having a trustful nature my younger self eyes still wavered with fear and distrust, her hand inched closer to a nearby drawer which I knew held a razor blade
"Wait!. um, let me think of some proof" I exclaimed once more, "ummm" I put a finger on my cheek and started thinking, "you hated mom's Brussel sprouts but always ate them with a smile on your face because you didn't want to make her sad"
"How did you know that!" She gasps
"And you although you tell sis that your favourite Pokémon is bulbasaur psyduck is actually your favourite right"
"Shush!, don't say that out loud!" She shushes me
Suddenly the door swung open and a little girl with brown hair appeared
"O~néechan" she calls out rubbing her eyes "why are you making so much noise"
"Umm hello!" I called out and wave to her but she ignored me
"???" I called out again louder but she still didn't react
"Ano, do you see that person there" my younger self asked her, pointing at me
"Whoo?" She yawns looking right through me
"That girl over there" she threw a little plush at me, however instead of hitting me, it instead went right through me
"Nee~san, you should go to sleep" my little sister yawns and exits the room
Seeing her waddle away I could've help but squeal "Kyaaaa!!, she's so cute!!, she's like a little doll!" I rolled around on the floor squealing
After a minute I realised how childish that was and turned bright red
"Ah gomen!" I excused myself after seeing my younger self in a state of shock "someone my age shouldn't be acting like this, but she so darn cute you know"
"Y-y-your floating!" She cries out in a soft voice
"I mean I have already died right so that's to be expected" I shrug of her concern
"Wait!, if you died than why did you come back" she questions, all previous sign of fear lost
"Well there was this boy-
"A boy?" She repeats, obvious for a second before turning red like a tomato
"Nono, I need to study hard to support mom and sis!" She rebuttals mousely
"Yeah but in the end it doesn't really work out well,-I mean it kinda did, but you'll be really lonely, every time yoyr heart beats it feels like being stabbed with an arrow"
"oh" she mumbles looking down at her feet
"Yeah" was all I could muster up
Looking at her more closely, she was even more broken than I was in the past, perhaps it was because time has washed away my memories
"But hey!, I'm here to make sure you don't make the same mistakes!" I tried cheering her up
Her head rose slightly and her eyes looked at me with a glimmer of hope
"Yeah don't worry i can help you navigate your path so you don't end up like-
'like me huh'
I hung my head as I recalled all of my past failings
Something I felt something warm and soft, like a mother's love
I looked up to see myself being embraced by my younger self
She pats my head dearly, soothing all my sorrows
I sunk in, how many years has it been since I been coddled like this, she smelt so nice, like spring
"There there" she pats my back
"Ok, that's enough thanks" I pulled myself together
Her eyes sparkle with curiosity as she leans in "So tell me more about this boy!"
"Oh it's a long story, perhaps another time, afterall our first day of school starts tomorrow"
"!!!" She stares at the alarm In shock before jumping into bed
"We'll continue this talk tmr!" She kisses me on the cheek before turning in
