EVERYTHING IS DIFFERNT [COMPLETE]

Chapter 38

YOUR POV

After that long and hard explanations given, all of them tried to find or even understand the meaning key. They tried to use hints and stuffs but all leads to a dead end. The whole dorm has been checked and we've checked my room for the 5th time already.

"We've checked everywhere in here but fail. I don't even understand the definition of this damn key." Akihiko senpai said, outraged. I couldn't help but laugh a little. Koro sensei had gone home and so is Nagisa. Right now, the S.E.E.S members were sitting idly on the couch at the lobby. We just sat there in a calm silence.

"Maybe, the key is not key." Yukari said.

"Really yuka-tan? Trying to jumble the jumbled mind?" Junpei said annoyingly. I could not help it but to be awed. Junpei, the guy who's reckless in almost anything, and didn't study much, ESPECIALLY in correlation of words, is speaking tongue-twister now.

"I really meant it. This may sound a little weird but what if the key is actually not an object but a life..." Yukari gave me a hint. I fell in total silence.

"What makes you say that?"

"Okay. For us, this place is our reality but not you. You came from the other world so anything can happend. Maybe the key is already there but it's not there." She explained. Okay I am officially lost by her words. All I did was showing her my all time famous face, the blur.

"Guys?" Yukari asked and sighed. She stood up from her seat.

"Like I explained earlier, There is a possibility that the key we've been looking for is not an object but actually a life form. This may sound weird but I have these theory that, maybe one of us out of EVERYONE held the key. When I meant everyone, I really meant, EVERYONE." She explained long and hard. Oh, now I get it. The team also got the clearer picture. I nodded my head.

"So, anyone of the people I met, can be holding the key.  The main question is, who?" I said, to clarify everything.

"It could be anyone. You are attached to almost everyone in here, not to mention your friends in school and the people wearing the green cape and 'fly'." Yukari said.

"Miss Takeba is right you know. We need some strategies." Mitsuru said. I sighed again. We think hard but then everyone wants to sleep, they are tired after all. I, too, were tired. So, we called it a night and head to respective rooms. Inside the room, I was lying on my bad flatly. My phone suddenly vibrates. I took it and looked at the screen.

"(Y/n). Why didn't you tell them?" Ritsu asked me. I sighed deeply.

"I'm not that brave." I said.

"You fight shadows apparently. A girl who have the assassin's skill, fight shadows and also can kill a 10 M giant like it was another sunny day can't say the exact words?" She teased me. I rolled my eyes and chuckles. She really knows me huh?

"I can't. They will found out eventually so just let them." I said back. There was a small silence for a second.

"Sooner than later, yukari-san will figure out. She has quite the sense when it comes to bonding." Ritsu said again. I nodded my head, answering her question.

"Okay, she will eventually. But, for now, let the question lingers. You know why I can't say to him that." I said. Ritsu nodded her head. I am truly right. There is something unusual about it. Hard but soft. Hate but loving. Putting a mask huh?

-------------next morning-----------------

I went to school like usual. It still lingers inside me. The fact that I can't even kept it hidden anymore. I sighed secretly, hoping that  no one notices it. The class went on and on like usual. Just then, as I was cleaning my desk, koro sensei came to me.

"Sensei?" I asked him.

"Do you mind to accompany me on a tea today?" He asked suddenly. I chuckled and gave him a little smile. He knows already.

"Okay sensei." I said. Both of us went to the forest just outside the school's yard and have a nice and peaceful picnic there.

"So, you want to tell me something?" He asked me. It's the second time I heard him said that. I can't help but chuckled.

"You always two steps ahead of me sensei. You already know what I was trying to say..." I said slowly. He snickered.

"I figured. Your time limit is fading right?"

"Along with me."

"Why didn't you chose to stay (l/n)-san? You were given an opportunity." He said.

"I can't. I was given an opportunity to be here a little longer....not forever. If I didn't do it fast, I will go. Even I can't predict when." I said and let out a burden sigh. Koro sensei might be the smartest, wittiest and the strongest member but reminding right now that 4th wall is breaking.

"Oiii koro sensei, weirdo." A voice suddenly said. Both of us looked at the person. I can already feel the smirk coming out of koro sensei's face. I mentally groaned and shoo away koro sensei but we all know that is just a waste of time. The person came near me and suddenly shot a knife up in the air.

"NYU-YA!!!!!" Koro sensei panicked and ran away. That guy..... I can't help but let out a harmless giggle. He came nearer and what do you know, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around me snuggily.

"K-karma-kun...." I said. He hugged me even tighter without letting out a single word.

"Karma-kun... Koro sensei is still here you know." I said and tried to let go from his grip. He's still didn't want to let me go.

"Let's just stay like this. I just want to stay like this." He said, suddenly. What? Did this guy just say something cheesy? Scratch that, he's hugging me right now and it's a weird thing for him to do.

"Karma-kun... I-"

"Shh, Not a single word. Just stay like this." He said. I can't help but hugged him back. This time, he tighten his hug, as if, I'm about to die tomorrow.
