My Answer To Life: OC X Akihiko Sanada P3 Fanfic

Chapter 49

"Judging from the look on your face, you're here because of her, aren't you? "Chidori questioned with her eyes still on her sketchbook. Akihiko had been searching for three days, yet every effort he made led to nothing. In the end, he asked Chidori for help out of desperation.

"....... Do you know where is she? "He asked. Chidori flinched a bit, for the first time, she lifted her head and looked into his eyes.

"........ You're desperate, why? "She questioned.

"........ Why wouldn't I be?......... She's missing for three days! She didn't return to the dorm, she didn't go to school and I can't find her anywhere! "He snapped, letting out all his frustrations. Chidori just stared at him for a while before she started drawing on her sketchbook again.

"You pass. "Akihiko flinched at her words.

"What? "He doesn't understand what she meant by that.

"Junpei too asked me about her, but not like the way you asked. I don't know where she is, but I'll tell you what I know. "She explained.

"........ Why? I thought you won't talk to anyone but Junpei. "Akihiko asked cautiously.

"Who knows......... Perhaps it's the feeling I get that I'll regret if I don't tell you and someone told me, nothing hurts more than having regrets."Chidori sighed as she looked out her window.

"......... Thank you. "Akihiko thanked and sat down on the chair beside her bed.

"First, you're asking the wrong person. I'm just a friend she turns to when she had some girl secrets to share. The one who you should ask is Jin. "Chidori said to him.

"........ That guy........ "Jin is somehow on Akihiko's bad side, yet he doesn't have a choice.

"Jin always has a soft spot for Kiera, so did she. After all, she's still using the name he gave her. "This caught Akihiko's attention.

"Name? "He asked.

"Kiera. That's the name she used to introduce herself, the name that Jin came up for her. Whatever meaning is behind it, she said she rather use it than her real name......... Both of them are like siblings, the trust they had for each other is remarkable. "Akihiko stared at his hands when she explained, he realized that he knew nothing of her.

"At least........before Shinjirou Aragaki died. "His head snapped up at the name. What does she mean by that?

"As you know, Kiera has a weak mind, so she only shows her weakness of the people who she trusted. You can say it's her three pillars, either one crumbles deals a huge impact on her mental state. That night, two of them had crumbled, so she clings desperately onto her last remaining pillar. Tell me, Sanada. Who is her last remaining pillar? "Chidori explained with her fingers, first she showed him three fingers, then she put away two to centralize the last remaining finger. Akihiko thought for a while, then he flinched, his hand subconsciously grabbed onto the spare key in his pocket.

"........ Me? "Chidori nods at his answer.

"If anything ever happens to you, that's the end for Kiera. So, she disappears from your life, because she knows that you're hurt by the pain of losing someone precious to you. She didn't want you to feel that again, even it means pushing you as far away as possible. Do you understand now, Sanada? "She questioned.

"........ What does this have anything to do to help me find her? "He asked. She blinked before she sighed.

"It's best that you don't, that's what I'm trying to tell you. "Akihiko was ticked off by her words.
