9. Soul keepers

(Raira)

Aria gives her forgiveness to Mrs. Yumeki, she admitted that it was all her fault, and if she would have another life, she wants to have Yumeki-sensei as her teacher again. After giving her forgiveness to Yumeki-sensei, she looked at Cross's father. Everyone is silent, like we we're watching a live TV drama.

"Ranzki-san?" Aria asks.

"Yeah. It's me Aria. I never thought I would still be able to see you again, after that day." He said. He's not that shock or something, but his eyes are also yearning for forgiveness.

"I think everything that my son told me is true, I was so sorry. I never knew that they did that to you, all I know is that, you had a meeting with them inside, that's why I left after closing the door." He said. His eyes on the ground, his fists clenched.

Aria floated towards Ranzki-sensei, wanting to touch his hands.

"Seeing you again is a great pleasure for me, Ranzki-san. I already forgive you, and I'm sorry for lying." She bowed her head down. I remember the guy that Aria talked to, before the day she died, it was Ranzki-sensei.

"No. I should be the one to say sorry. Well, we can't bring it back now." Ranzki-sensei showed her a sweet smile. Aria's eyes widened, and then she smiled. Everyone is feeling happy, that's how I see it.

"Thank you very much, Ranzki-san." She kissed him in his right cheek.

"Yumeki-sensei, thank you so much. I'm really sorry for not trusting you. Raira, Kairo, Kino, Sai and Cross." She's looking at us individually with grateful eyes. She said what? How did she know our name? I looked at her with questioning eyes.

"I have been waiting for so long, since the day that I saw this 4 boys approaching, I knew that they'll be the one that would help me. And, the day that I saw you, I felt so great, knowing that you guys would help me. But I was hated, and how I wished to explain." She said with sad eyes.

"Explain what?" I ask. Everyone is looking at us, eager to hear Aria's explanation.

"You thought that I was killing my co-students, didn't you?" she asks, then I thought about it for a moment, and we all looked with each other, Cross, Sai, Kairo and Kino.

"Yeah, we-thought so." I said in an apologetic voice.

"Of course not!" She shouted.

"We're sorry about that Aria." Kairo said, I hurriedly looked at him, Kino, Sai and Cross too. Aria looked at Kairo with narrowed eyes.

"Rai, Sai, Kino and Cross, Aria didn't kill someone. The two students who jumped of the 4th year building and also a member of theater club were also raped by some of the student council members. The 1st student was raped outside the school. She's Haruna; she jumped off because she lost her boyfriend after knowing that she was raped. The second one, Mirane; she didn't jumped off, she was pushed by her best friend, who didn't believed that Mirane is raped by his boyfriend who is a student council member." Kairo explained. I was… shocked. "Shocked" not because our accusations were all wrong, but because another student was raped by those murderers. Did Kairo saw this at Aria's past?

"And Ranzki-sensei already quitted the student council, right after he knew that Aria was raped." He added.

My knees weakened, I lost my balance. Cross caught me, and he held me closer to his body. My tears want to escape, I can't explain my feeling. How could a normal person do such brutal things for almost 3 times? And, how could a private school ignore that serial case? Letting those murderers escaped?
