Before I Count To Three (Cellphone Novel) [HIATUS]

Chapter 60

"Ayakashi?"

"Ayakashi are the spirits of the netherworld that wreck havoc upon ours. My job is to prevent that from happening."

"Your job."

Is to hunt us. Shirayuki's voice is icy.

A lump rises in my throat and I try to wash it away with iced tea.

But it remains.

I feel like throwing up.

Abruptly, I rise. He looks up with surprise.

"Bathroom", I manage to squeeze through grit teeth.

And make the slowest dash to the bathroom.

Closing the door behind me, I neglect to put on the bathroom slippers and my shoes stay on my feet.

"Shirayuki..."

In a moment, I am enveloped in a white storm and ice flutters past my cheeks.

"Why did you not tell me? Anything?"
