Trying to save a friend

Chapter 1

"I never even thanked him..." Ayumi muttered to herself, tears still running down her face as she got distracted from her homework yet again
"And now..." She sniffed, fresh tears forming in her eyes before they slowly rolled down her face and dripped onto the textbook which was open in front of her. The tears left wet trails as they went, rolling down her face.
"It's too late...God why was I such a bitch to him...in that school, I never even thanked him, all I did was yell at him saying I hated him when all he was doing was trying to help me. Trying to save my life..." She said as she remembered what had happened after school that day again and yet another single tear rolled down her face and landing in her textbook, slightly smudging the ink.

-FLASHBACK-

Ayumi headed out of the classroom, hope filling her mind and clouding over her thought process. As she waited to spot Yoshiki, she stood thinking of what she would actually say to him, how she would actually express her feelings. She saw him exit the classroom and grabbed his sleeve, pulling him to the side
"I need to tell you something." She said pulling him down the hall, normally Yoshiki would of been happy to go anywhere with Ayumi only that had all changed a few days ago after talking to Asami Fukuroi a girl in their class, 2-9. It was hard to explain why but he was slightly annoyed at talking to her only after grunting in frustration, he reluctantly followed her.

"So? What do you want?" Yoshiki asked, impatiently checking the time.
"Well...erm, see first things first, I'm sorry for what I said to you in that place...and also..erm..."Ayumi trailed off, looking down at her feet as she didn't dare make eye contact.
"Well come on. I haven't got all day. I'm meeting up with Asami later so hurry up." Yoshiki said annoyance clear in his tone of voice.
"I..well I really like you.." Ayumi said, not daring to even glance up. Yoshiki laughed a little, smiling kindly
"Sorry Shinozaki, you're too late. Maybe you should of said something..hm...like two years ago." He said, turning his back on her abruptly and walking away. Two years ago, huh, he liked me for that long, she thought as tears streamed down her cheeks and the rain started pouring down heavily. She turned around and ran home where she eventually ran up the stairs, not even saying hi to her parents. She got to her room and collapsed on her bed, letting more tears flow down her face and onto her pillow. When she had eventually calmed down a bit she tried to get on with her homework, only to get distracted, thinking about Yoshiki again.

-FLASHBACK END-

"Did I do something to upset him? Maybe it was what I said to him in that goddamned school? Could I of said something mean whilst I was possesed by that goddamned spirit" she muttered, letting the tears flow freely as she remembered one time in Heavenly Host when the anatomical model tried to grab her neck and Yoshiki was there...saving her...again. There was a knock on the door so she wiped her tears away and asked who it was
"It's Hinoe, can I come in?" Her sisters voice said from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, sure." Ayumi replied sniffing and wiping away the rest of her tears as her sister entered her room
"So, you wanna talk about what happened?" Hinoe asked
"You know normally I would ask how you knew but well, it's kind of obvious." Ayumi replied slightly laughing
"Well...you gonna tell me or what?" Hinoe asked
"Well...basically I got rejected.."Ayumi replied realising how stupid she sounded, everyone gets rejected at some point right
"I know it's really stupid..."
"It's not stupid Ayumi, I'm guessing they also said something else as well though" Hinoe said
"Well they kind of said I was too late and that they had liked me for two years but..."Ayumi sighed "I never noticed, even after he saved my life countless times.."
"Ah. Well sorry can't help you with that." Hinoe said earning a glare from Ayumi "I'm joking I'm joking."She said as they both burst out laughing "Well, maybe we might just need to get Mc Donald's! And ice cream obviously."
"Thanks."Ayumi said happily. Her sister always knew when something was wrong and she always knew exactly how to fix it, or at least help. They stood up, got their shoes on and went downstairs, walking out of the house after telling their parents where they were going.
"So anyway, that day when you were home from school at like half eleven, you never told me what happened." Hinoe said as they walked.
"I know, it's just..."Ayumi trailed off, thinking of what had happened that night in the hell hole known as Heavenly Host
"You think I won't believe you." Hinoe finished
"Yeah...kind of..."Ayumi said. It was an extremely weird story and one she didn't like to tell but, she knew that if she didn't tell Hinoe then she would never get over what had happened. She doubted she ever would anyway
"It's okay, I know you were in some sort of school and that there were spirits trapped there and...well that's all I know." Hinoe said
"Okay, okay I'll tell you just promise you won't say I'm crazy." Hinoe nodded
"Right..well we tried a charm which was on Naho's blog after telling a story about Heavenly Host elementary school and then a big earthquake started and we all fell through the floor, when we woke up again, we was there in Heavenly Host." Ayumi explained. They ordered some food and went to sit down as Ayumi finished her explanation.
"Okay, so this boy, Kishinuma was it, saved your life and then suddenly gave up on you. I'm sorry but in no way is it normal for someone to do that. That would be like...I don't even know anything to compare it to in all honesty, it's just not normal." Hinoe said thinking about the possibility that someone had put some sort of spell or curse on the boy "Has he been ignoring his friends all of a sudden and talking to one particular person who he wouldn't normally talk to?" she asked, Ayumi nodded before saying
"Yeah he has actually, he's been ignoring me, Nakashima and Mochida and keeps on talking to some bitch called Asami Fukuroi who he actually used to hate." Ayumi answered
"Language." Hinoe warned her
"Sorry." Ayumi apologised
" I think I might of thought of something then." Hinoe said smiling as their food came and they began to eat.
