Ichijo's P.O.V
"SO THEN HE WAS LIKE 'PEW PEW!' AND I DIED! AHAHA" She laughed and almost choked on her lunch.
"Careful Kurami" i laughed teasing.
"S-Shut up Ichijo!!" She pouted trying to hold in a laugh. She dropped a peice of fried egg. i thought she noticed so i said nothing.
"Ne ichijo wanna try my cooking?" She smiled and took a step closer to me, slipped on the piece of egg and went headfirst off the railing. "huh?" She began to fall, and grabbed on to a tile on the roof.
"AHHHHHH" Someone yelled from the ground. "OH MY GOD!" Another person screamed.
"HELP ME SOMEONE." Kurami yelled out crying holding on to the tile with her life.
I jumped over the railing held on to the railing and held out my other hand. "GRAB IT!"
"H- AH!" She slipped alittle still holding on, She tried to reach for my hand but slipped more then she did before she tried. "I-I CAN'T!
"STOP! I'LL TRY TO CATCH YOU FROM THE THIRD FLOOR!" I said a i rushed to the third floor and opened the window to see she fell as infront of my eyes, and reached for her desperately and barely glazed her hands.
I paused scared and slowly walked towards the third floor railing i was supposed to catch her on, and looked downwards to see she had hit the ground with nothing breaking the fall. "K-KU...KURAMII!!!" Nothing but memories of her passed by in my mind. I ran downstairs and at the entrance of the school was Ayano covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open in shock. and her bag on the floor. She turned around and looked at me surprised still with the same expression. I ignored it for now and went straight to Kurami.... The tears started to flow down my face faster then any time before, i've known her since my first year of middle school and this is my second year of high-school.
"I-I-I-I--Ichijo-san..." Ayano Hesitated and looked sick.
"H-H-Huh?" I can only imagine how bad my face looked.
"I-Is---" She paused and looked like she was going to throw up. She ran back into the school and disappeared for the rest of the day. Classes continued as if nothing happened, which is bad for everyone that was in the area. Scarred of what we had seen in 3rd period could we have even tried to concentrate on school work? I went home after 4th period. Whenever i think of the incident that happened today- no, whenever i think of Kurami, i throw up instantly i was in a mental state that i could not control and was mentally scarred. I didn't go to any classes over the next month. As i gradually got better i started to pick myself up and go to school once a week, twice a week, until it was a normal routine again, And when i was mentally and physically ready. To visit Kurami's grave. The next time i went to class Kurami was sitting in her usuall seat. Am i still not better? is this really her?! i Slowly walked up to the seat and sat down. It wasn't just me... everyone was staring at Kurami with wide eyes, mumbles and whispers came from all directions of the room.
"S-So today we'll be learning about c-conjunctions..." The teacher was unconcentrated staring at Kurami aswell.
Someone raised their hand to speak. "We learned about that last month!"
"O-Oh right... We'll be l-learning about... uh.. about." She turned to her book in uncertainty and contineud to speak "about proper sentence f-fluency...a-and vocabulary..." She said tripping over her words, lost in thought.
Kurami ignored everything and continued copy what was written in Ayano's notebook. The class ended and everyone stood up and swarmed around Kurami.
"K-Kisaragi-san... please come to the advisers office." The teacher requested.
"I'll be late for my next class if i do so." Kurami replied. IT IS HER!!
I turned back with wide eyes as soon as i heard her voice. "K-KURAMI!" I stood up and my chair fell back.
"Who are you?" Kurami replied harshly. ...What? S-She doesn't remember me... I'm... starting to cry and feel sick again.... Nonono... please... why..why did this have to happen to me... to Kurami.. to Ayano.. does the world hate elementalists...?
"i-i'll write you a pass..." The teacher was also suprised to hear her voice.
"very well." She said as she stood up and coldly shoved everyone away from her. Shes still the same person... but she just doesn't have her memory. i remember when she didn't know someone she was the coldest person ever, and once you got her to open up she was the most energetic, beautiful, lovable girl. Please... don't take her away from me... make her remember please please please... I Started to cry even more silently into my arms that were folded on the desk. When everyone had left the room i wiped my tears and tried to get rid of my sick feeling, then started to head to my next class.
The same question rang in my head for the next 7 hours of the school day, why... why did it happen to such an innocent girl... why... did they take her away from me. i-i can't stop crying, such.. a weakling.
i continued to miss classes after waking up with bad stomachs whenever i have a bad dream of the day. December 7th 2032 Kurami Kisaragi died. Febuary 21st 2033 Another Kurami Kisaragi appeared, Same voice, same looks, same grades, Different memory, Different attitude.
"Ichijo-san..." Ayano said lightly tugging my sleeve looking sick. "O-On December 7th 2032... The Kurami-san that died... was it my fault for leading her into going up on the roof." The more she talked the sicker she looked. "Sh-Shes a fallen angel now... The Kurami-san that appeared today is slightly different in ability, but shes the same exact person... but it doesn't change the question at hand.... Did i kill her? " She looked like she was going to throw up that instant.
"N-...I--" I started to feel sick of thinking of it this way, but i had to make Ayano feel better some how, "I killed her for not warning her of the fried egg piece..."
When i think of it, its really screwed up. One little thing could've been avoided so easily, but she died anyway. Or atleast everyone thinks she died.
