Forgotten Love 『satoshiki』

Chapter 3: Exiting the dream, entering the nightmare

I know, I've been on hiatus for a pretty long time but, I am back and I see that we have 36 reads?? I love that, even though we have no comments I guess I'll continue this crap fanfiction for all you guys that actually read it. I appreciate it so much I'm dead. Literally. Oh yeah, I kind of messed up on the part where Ayumi's supposed to tell about the dead teacher so... I'm very sorry.

As soon as the lights were turned on, everyone got up from their spots on the classroom floor.

"Alrigh-" Ayumi was cut off when the lights turned off. "What the.." She mumbled and looked around the room only to see a black nothingness.

"Um.. What happened to the lights?" Yoshiki said and scratched his neck. Everyone still puzzled, trying to get their eyes adjusted to the new lighting.

"Shige-nee?" Mayu mumbled and grabbed Morishige's arm. Well, at least she thought she did. Though, Mayu didn't notice that it actually wasn't her Shige-nee.

Yoshiki took a step back and squinted his eyes. "Suzumoto.. I'm not Morishige." He said and walked closer to Satoshi. Satoshi looked around the room, his eyes now fully adjusted to the darkness.

"It was just a black out.." Ayumi said and laughed nervously. She looked around the room for the light switch to see if one of the group members were just trying to mess with them.

Yoshiki chuckled quietly. "Sure, sure, nice try Shinozaki. I know you're just trying to mess with us." He said with a laugh. Yoshiki leaned over Satoshi's way and smiled at him. It wasn't any joke that Yoshiki had a crush on him but it didn't seem that obvious. Well, that's what he thought at least.

     Ayumi sneakily glared at Yoshiki and then acted as if nothing had happened. "Alright, well, we should all stay calm." Satoshi added, looking around the room at his friends.

*pretend Ayumi told the story about the dead teacher*

     They all stood there, silently waiting for the lights to flicker on but nothing happened. A knock could be heard from the door. "Um... Did anyone else hear that?" Mayu mumbled to everyone as she clung onto Morishige's arm.

     Naomi and Seiko were hugging each other in fear. Though, Seiko had a small smile on her face. "Yeah.." said Naomi, her arms still wrapped around her friend's.

     "Get the door, Satoshi." Yoshiki said with a sly smile on his face. Satoshi looked at him with a surprised expression and then gave a slight frown. "C'mon." Yoshiki had said, still grinning while leaning on a desk.

     Satoshi looked down, sighing. "Fine.." He mumbled nervously and started to walk towards the door. Satoshi's hands were shaking as he felt that it was the teacher that Ayumi was talking about earlier.

     There was another knock at the door and Satoshi gasped with all his other friends behind him now. "Hello, is anyone still here?" As soft, creepy voice spoke from the other side of the door. "Go home children.." It said again, the door slowly sliding open now.

      Satoshi fell backwards, landing in his back and banging his head on the teacher's podium. "Ouch.." He rubbed his head, a sharp throbbing pain came from bashing his head.

     Ms. Yui laughed, the lights flickering back on. The group laughed and Ayumi and Ms. Yui high fived. "Good job! You were right on time, Sensei!" Ayumi spoke with a big grin plastered on her face.

     Satoshi's little sister, Yuka, walked in with a umbrella in her hands. "Satoshi, your little sister came over here to deliver your umbrella for you, how sweet." Ms. Yui said, Satoshi still on the floor.

     "Awe, we've been had!" The girls spoke as they giggled happily. Satoshi got up off the floor, his head still in pain.

     Yoshiki walked over to Satoshi, patting his back with a smile. "Are you okay?" He asked Satoshi and brushed some dust from his back. Yoshiki had a slightly worried face as he looked at Satoshi that looked a little dizzy.

     Satoshi nodded and smiled weakly at Yoshiki. "Yeah, just bumped my head.." He mumbled, rubbing his injury. Though, he was alright and didn't make a big deal about it.

     Yuka walked over to Satoshi and handed him the umbrella. "Woah, Satoshi! Your sister is really cute!" They all said and looked at her.

     Ayumi gathered everyone in a circle and brought out a paper doll from her book bag. "Alright, I found this ritual online that'll keep us all together forever!" Ayumi said cheerfully. "We just have to do it correctly." She smiled at everyone.

     Everyone nodded, looking at her interested in the ritual. Some were a little skeptical while others were eager to start the ritual that Ayumi had found.

     "Now, everyone has to grab a corner of the doll and we all recite 'Sachiko we beg of you.' nine times in your head and then we rip the doll apart." She said and everyone smiled at her, knowing exactly what to do.

     "Oh! This is going to be fun!" Mayu cheered and looked up at everyone with a smile.

     Yoshiki was one of the people that were skeptical about it, knowing pretty well not to trust everything on the Internet. "Are you sure about this? What happens if we mess up?" He asked her, scratching the back of his head.

     Ayumi looked up at him and smiled. "Don't worry, we can probably just re-do it or something. Nothing will happen." She said and Yoshiki nodded slowly. He wouldn't question it anymore.

     Everyone looked expectantly at Ayumi, smiling. Now, the whole group was on board with even Ms. Yui smiling and waiting for the ritual to begin.

     "Okay, everyone! Grab a corner of the doll and recite what I said in your head and then we all rip the doll." She said the instructions again and ten everyone followed, reciting 'Sachiko we beg of you' nine times each.

     Everyone finished and they looked at Ayumi. "Okay, now rip the paper doll!" Ayumi said and everyone followed, getting their own paper scrap to keep.

I'll admit, this chapter was everywhere. I hope you all still enjoyed it though. It was extra long. For me, anyway. I will write the second part on the weekend, I promise! Goodbye lovelies!
