The World Beyond (A Yosuke Hanamura Love Story)

'Oh no!'

Yosuke's POV:

At Junes I was helping Teddie with the shelf stacking before the end of our shift that day.

''Uhhhh.... why do I have to help out with shelf stacking, its not even my turn!'' I complained as I took the packets out from the baskets and placed them neatly on their respective shelves. Teddie sighed, obviously annoyed with my constant complaining. Could you really blame me though, I was only putting up with this because my dad told me that if I helped Teddie out I would get off early today so that I could go and see Ayame.

''You have to help me because I'm slacking off, stop whining and just help me out already'' Teddie said almost too proudly, I rolled my eyes at him and dug into my pocket pulling out a red cell phone and handing it to him.

''Ayame and I bought you it so you better not loose it and you had better take good care of it. We would be worried if we couldn't reach you so keep it with you at all times, oh and make sure to thank Ayame when you see her next.'' small tears filled Teddies eyes as he looked to me with a joyess smile,

''Thank you Yosuke!'' he shouted, I was about to teach him how to use it when my own phone rang in my pocket, I took it out and smiled at the callers ID.

''Hey babe, what's up?!'' I said with a small smile spreading on my face, that was until I heard how panicked she was.

''Yosuke! Thank god you picked up, is Yu-san with you?'' she asked quickly, I could hear Naoto in the background she seemed to be on the phone too presumably talking to Kanji. She sounded just as frantic as Ayame was. What was going on why were they so freaked out?

''Woah, woah, calm down babe tell me what happened... and no I'm at Junes with Teddie finishing off our shift'' I said calmly she took a deep breath before speaking again,

''your right sorry, but Yu-san isn't answering his cell and I don't have Dojima's home number could you call and see if he is there please?'' She said, Yu wasn't picking up his cell.. that's weird he always answers his cell after the first few rings.

''No problem, I'll call the Dojima residence and see if Nanako-chan answers. She might be able to tell us where he is, I'll call you later okay?'' I said, I heard her sigh slightly she sounded sad.

''I miss you Yosuke'' she whispered, at that my heartbeat sped up and my face was tinted pink, I hadn't seen her in two days due to work and whenever we called I never wanted to hang up. I missed her loads too.

''Why don't you come round tomorrow? I miss you so much too I want..... no I need to see you'' she sighed again but this time it was a relived sigh,

''Yeah I'll see you tomorrow then, oh and remember to watch the midnight channel tonight. That image we saw for the past few nights is still gives me a bad feeling, its raining tonight again though we have to make sure that no one really appears inside of there'' she said at least she sounded semi-happier now,

''I know what you mean oh and Teddie said thank you for the phone, okay well I'll see you tomorrow, I love you baby girl'' I said with a soft smile on my face.

''Tell him he is very welcome, and I love you too Yosuke'' I smiled at her response before hanging up. Teddie and I made our way to the staff area so I could make my call to the Dojima residence before we headed home for the night.

Ayame's POV:

After I hung up the phone I looked over to Naoto, it appeared like she had just gotten of the phone to Kanji around about the same time as me. She looked like she had calm down as well, man those guys really know what to say to help us relax huh? Naoto sat down on her futon and looked up to the clock on her wall. I sat next to her and did the same,

''Think the image will be clear tonight? The past few nights its rained its been really blurry, I mean we first saw this three nights ago I'm surprised the killer hasn't made a move yet, normally he would have made his move after the first or second showing on the midnight channel'' I looked to Naoto as I said this and she looked down in thought. Worry suddenly clouded her features but she remained silent. We stayed like that for a while until we heard her grampa enter his room, I stood up and walked to the door,

''I'll watch the TV in the living room, see you in a few'' I said she looked up to me and nodded as I headed down the stairs and waited in front of the TV for midnight. I stared at the clock as it finally turned to midnight and to my despair the image in the screen was extreamly clear. In the background it looked like a castle on the clouds of heaven and the person on the screen was the last person I wanted to see on there, my best student....

Nanako-chan!

I got a text from Yosuke saying that he and Teddie were on there way to the police station to collect Yu and that he had called Kanji too letting him know the situation, I grabbed my jacket, shoes and umbrella as I ran to the door. Naoto ran down the stairs right behind me and she wore the same panicked expression as me. We looked at each other and bolted out of the house.

''Ayame, get to the police station and meet up with Yosuke and the others I will go to the Dojima residence and check up on Nanako-chan'' Naoto said as we ran out of the house I looked to her angry,

''Naoto no you can't go alone, let me.....'' I started but she cut me off in an instant.

''Please Ayame'' I blinked at her determination but nodded and ran down the forking road towards the police station. Once I ran inside I heard someone shouting my name behind me I turned around to see Yosuke, Teddie and Kanji. Yosuke ran up to me and wrapped me up in his arms. A minuet later Yosuke's phone rang,

''Naoto what's the news!'' he shouted, I could just hear what Naoto had said and just hearing the words she said next broke my heart in two, 

''Yosuke, its Nanako-chan...... she's gone!''
