He Will Be Born

Goodbye

"...I-I always thought the same Rokuro, I'm also happy...to have met you..."

Rokuro smiled at her and she smiled back at him. They left together out of the graveyard, blushing, but together. Inside, even though embarrassing, they knew they were both happy that both of them felt the same way about each other.

It was almost time for Rokuro to leave to the island. He had already packed all his things. All he needed to do now was bring them downstairs so they could be easily grabbed when they came to pick him up.

He had 3 suitcases in total and 5 small boxes carrying gear and books inside. He decided to bring down first the small boxes. As he was carrying down 3 boxes down the stairs, he met eyes with Benio. It seemed she was just at the kitchen eating some ohagi. She blushed a bit, since she had just been busted eating ohagi.

"I thought you already had your ohagi meal of the day?"

"It doesn't hurt to eat... one more!"

"Whatever you say."

"Do you... need help?"

As she said this, she sounded a little bit down and avoided looking at him.

"Nah, I'm fine. It's really not much. Thanks though."

"I see..."

She went upstairs heading to the hallway where their rooms where at. He kept staring at her until she couldn't see her anymore.

He, as Benio was also feeling, felt down that both of them wouldn't be with each other for some time. They didn't know how long this separation will be before Benio regained her powers. Rokuro always had thoughts that maybe she wouldn't really regain her powers back, not even if she was a twin star. This worried him very much. He couldn't imagine beating kegare or Yuuto without her. She was someone vital to him.

He tried to ignore his thoughts and carried the boxes and settled them beside the front door. As he was heading back upstairs to carry the rest of his stuff, he heard a noise go "thump, thump, thump". He hurried off to see what was making that noise.

He got to the stairs and saw Benio carrying two small boxes and a suitcase. She wasn't struggling with the suitcase, it was just that it made too much noise when heading down.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping... out."

She made it down the stairs and the noise stopped. Now all you could hear was the noise of the suitcase's wheels rolling. He followed her and arrived at the front door. She settled them down after seeing that Rokuro had placed his other boxes there.

"I'll carry... the other suitcase."

"Hey, I appreciate it but I don't need help."

"...Okay."

She headed upstairs again with Rokuro behind her. Rokuro thought she was gonna head to her room this time but she headed to his instead.

"Hey! It's okay, I got it Benio. Benio!"

She ignored him until he grabbed her by the hand.

"I just wanted...to he..lp! Can I not... do that?"

"Not necessarily... but fine."

"... Sorry, but I don't know... what else to do..."

"It's fine. Come on then."

"Thanks..."

They brought all of Rokuro's belongings below. And just in time. Shimon had come to pick up Rokuro. Arima had chosen him to accompany Mayura and Rokuro to the Island. Shimon did not like this at all due to him always getting sick riding any type of transportation. But he couldn't do anything because it was Arima's order and he, of course, had to obey him.
