Chapter 25

"Y/N"
"Y/N"
"Y/N"

The repeated calls filed in the air, preoccupied by her feelings, she did not hear the constant call outs from her precious lil Yuji.

"Y/N!!! RUN!! THE PATCH WORK IS COMING IN YOUR DIRECTION!"

His urgent warning finally broke through, jolting her back to reality. She felt something nearing her.

"Y/N! RUN! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!"

She sprinted towards the other class door and ran out. Without hesitation, she ran. His words fueled her escape as she fled, not daring to glance back.

She could sense the presence trailing behind her. She hurriedly made her way down stairs. After running down the steps, she heard a loud thud and abruptly, the sense of someone following her ceased.

"Yuji might have taken him down..." she thought.

But her doubts lingered, she continued to run where she initially was, the lockers.

Upon reaching the lockers, she leaned against one, catching her breath as she awaited Yuji. Soon, sitting down at the floor, she calmed down from the exterior, but within her, the sense of disappointment and sadness arose.

The clattering sounds erupted, loud bangs and thuds began, assaulting her ears. The relentless noise and chaos irritated her, a lot. It made her feel miserable that she's sitting here, idle, while Yuji's fighting for his life.

She hated herself for that.

She hugged herself and she curled up, embracing her legs, her face buried between her knees, as her tears staining her eyes. She was deep in thought and her face showed despair, dissatisfaction and disappointment. After what it felt like ages, she heard a familiar voice call her name.

Summoning strength, she rose, dusting off her clothes and wiping away the traces of emotion from her face, she advanced towards the door. As soon as she walked out, her face was greeted with her precious boy, but with him someone unexpected stood.

"Y/N..! Are you alright..?" Yuji inquired, walking towards her along with the unexpected someone.

She adjusted her clothes, glancing at them and sniffing.

"Y/N?" Yuji called her again.

"Y-Yeah... I-I am fine, Yuji... What about you?" She nodded.

Her stammers and swollen face was enough for them to know what she's been doing.

"Y/N...I am fine.. but you don't look w-..." Yuji cut himself as he approached her, concerned about her.

"It's nothing Yuji, just cause...of all the fighting.."she offered a forced smile and looked over to the man standing beside Yuji.

"Mr. Nanami.. What are you doing here? And what about the patch-work, was he exorcised?" she questioned and pretended that everything was alright.

After explaining her the situation about Mahito's escape, she looked at them with displeasure.

"Oh, that patch-work escaped? What a coward.." she exclaimed and looked down, thinking that her words self-reflected.

Abruptly, Yuji felt dizzy and passed out. Startled, Y/N caught him just before he could fall, while Nanami's concerned gaze shifted toward them.

"Can you carry him?" Nanami questioned her.

"Yes, lead the way.." she nodded, lifting Yuji in her arms.

After returning, Yuji was settled to rest, while Y/N and Nanami had a little chat at Nanami's place.

While conversing with her, Nanami sensed what was going on in her mind, he indirectly comforted her, understanding that she might not want to talk about it in details. It might cause her to breakdown, only she knew how hard she was trying to keep her emotions steady.
