The Dead One: The Final Grudge

Chapter 22

Like ringing in his ears, He could faintly make out screams inside the school though they weren't nearly as loud as earlier, he could only guess that most of the students school was dead now. Which brought his mind to the rest of the others, how were they holding up? Or was he and Shouta the last member alive?

Which brings him back to Shouta's question.

Who...is Chibi?

What is Shouta talking about...?

Kuro: W-What are you saying...

Shouta:....I don't know man...It just came to me...I mean...I know we been best friends for a long time...But faintly...now that I think about it...Who is Chibi....?

"I don't know anyone named Chibi..."

Kuro:.....How do you not know?! Remember. Yukime Shirosaki! Aka Chibi! We rescued him from bullies back in elementary school! He hanged out around our group of friends since then until he moved away. Before he did that. He and you got into a fight and broke your arm. How do you not know who he is?!!

Shouta:.....??? Wait...He broke my arm? I don't remember having an arm injury back then....

Kuro:.....

What...What is going on here...?

How could Shouta just forget about Chibi...?

That wasn't like him...

Chibi exists...right?

What if he doesn't exist...?

Or was he really a figment of Kuro's imagination and he was the only one who saw him.

No...That doesn't make any sense.

Back in the other worlds, Shouta knows who Chibi is. So something is definitely wrong here.

Kuro:.....

Shouta: Kuro?

Kuro: I don't understand...How can Chibi...Not exist...? Am I...the only one who remembers him....

Shouta:....

Kuro: (Chibi...I'm sorry...)

There was so much that Kuro wanted to do when he finds the boy. If he exists that is...

Kuro: (No. I won't believe it. Chibi exists. And I'm going to prove it to Shouta.)

Shouta: Hey Bro. You alright?

Kuro:....Crystal. Let's just go and find the others.

Gripping the axe once again he drew it back halfway preparing himself for anything, getting himself in a small crouch to creep across the field to the school.

Sure enough, that when he saw it like before...

Corpses of students and teachers are littered everywhere.

Shouta looked ready to puke at the sight. Especially when he saw a female student's genitals were ripped out.

Shouta: Seriously. This is freaking me out.

Kuro: Don't look....

The school was more brutal than before. There was already dead bodies everywhere.

Shouta: So what's the plan, Kuro?

Kuro: Find the others. Locate the infirmary. And figure out a plan to stop Mei.

Shouta: Alright...Best one so far.

Kuro: Well it's the only one I have so far. Other than that, I'm clueless. Shouta. Just stay close to me and don't go anywhere else.
