∆ Clock Strikes SEVEN

A/N: Ayato seemed like a boy going through puberty... he's moody. My reason is he hates it when he's not in control; to think that Kizuna is his "life". Nah, he'll get better when he knows Kizuna well... I guess. NO ONE'S READING THIS ANYWAY SO I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITH THIS HAHAH

------------------

I yawned and landed my head on the table. 'Your tutor's late.' I said out loud. Ayato was staring into nothing, probably thinking (which is rare).

I poked his arm. 'What are you thinking?'

'Things.' He replied simply.

'Yeah,' I said. 'Like, what things?'

'How could you possibly be the seventh sin's bearer?' He answered without glancing at me.

'What is that? If you're talking about Botticelli Inferno's kind of seven deadly sins, then I'm not a sloth or a prideful woman or even, a glutton. But if you're talking about a different kind of seven deadly sins, I have no idea.' I retorted.

He stared at me for a few seconds before averting his gaze to the door as it was opened. Kotarou, Ayato's tutor walked in and waved his hand at us. Ayato and I shared a glance, ignoring his overly cheerful gesture. I stood and left them after patting Ayato on his shoulder.

Hirari wasn't on duty so I exited the library and went to the next block. It was quite peaceful since there weren't many classes on going. As I reached the staircase, I saw Shuu sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, his eyes closed. I guess he's asleep.

'Do you want the book?' he suddenly spoke and I jumped in surprise, shrieking slightly.

'Please don't scare me like that,' I muttered and knelt beside him. 'What book by the way?'

He opened an eye and looked at me from the corner of it. 'The book you stole from the library.' He answered.

I pursed my lips into a thin line and looked away. 'I didn't actually intend to steal it. It was a panicking situation, but sure, where is it?'

He got up and started walking. I followed him. Further along the corridor, we reached the music room. He withdrew a key from his pocket and unlocked it. 'Wow, you own this room?' I asked.

He didn't reply and entered. The music room had that peaceful aura and I smiled. Shuu unlocked a cabinet and reached inside. He handed me the book. I blinked and took it.

'Can you read it?'

I flipped the pages open and recognized the symbols. There weren't any words, any kind of languages one would know. It's a series of special symbols created by a small community whom I know. 'No.' I lied.

'Your mother taught you those. Don't lie.' His husky voice made me gave up pretending.

'Yeah, I can read most of it, although not as quickly as how I read Japanese.' I said and looked up at him.

He heaved out a sigh and gestured me to a few seats by the grand piano. I sat on one chair and he sat behind me. 'Read it out loud.' He demanded.

I frowned. 'Why?'

'Because I say so.'

I rolled my eyes and started at the first page. 'Of all the cures every cursed ones are searching for, here is the answer. To the one who suffered painless wound but will die a painful death, to the one who is still wandering around the Earth because of the eternal soul, to the one who had travelled to people's dreams and still do, to the one who has been a headless man all these time, to the one who came from the dead, to the sacrificed mortal, and to those who bear the seven deadly sins' curses.'
