Natsuki x (Y/N): Shadows of the Past {Remastered}

Chapter 5: Something Unpleasant lingers...

Hi everyone!!, This chapter will be a little different from the others as it includes a song of its own, perhaps it's not an important detail but I felt like I had to let you guys know, with that said I won't take up more time for reading so, I'll see you guys at the end of the chapter!!!

Your POV
I felt something oddly wet on my cheek which was strange since it was actually very relaxing, "Na...tsu...ki...", I opened my eyes to see it wasn't Natsuki but Mochi instead, wait, why am I thinking it's Natsuki?, thinking about her that way made me blush, I'm probably going delusional, not that perhaps it matters right now, "Ah, it's just you Mochi", "Meow", "Right, right, is it time already?", I looked at my phone to see it was 5:30 in the morning, it's early but I rather not deal with him waking me up again in such an annoying matter.

I got up and got dressed and followed my usual routine, until I got a text from, Sayori!

Sayori
Hey, I couldn't sleep😅😅, though I sorta do want to, think I've got enough time??

(Y/N)
It's 6:00 in the morning..., how on earth are you going to manage a nap when there's so little time left?

Sayori
I'll improvise somehow😁, so don't worry about me, I'll catch up with you😇😇

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to let her do this but, if I don't she might actually get real cranky, and that is not something I'd want to see, I texted her all right and just went ahead to school by myself.

The day was as boring as any other, with the exception that a fight had broken out between Kendo Club members and they somehow ended up trying to kill each other with their bamboo swords, I didn't know the details but everyone is saying it was something about a double some, which, is in a sense, a problem that can be resolved by words yet they chose to try and kill one another which was not the right thing to do, regardless of that, everything went by normally and with it, came the bell, I picked up my bookbag, and to my surprise, Sayori wasn't right outside, in fact I haven't seen her all day, I knew she said she was going to sleep off a little more but, there's no way she would skip school again, there's also the possibility that we just didn't have any classes together.

I decided not to dwell on it too long and just made my way towards the Literature Club and everyone is here, including Sayori and Natsuki, "Hey" Sayori told me but, she sounded a little down about that, "Heya, I didn't see you anywhere today, nor did you walk with me to school this morning", I told her but she tried answering back without looking at me so much, "I, uh, I didn't want to be a bother to you today...", "Why would you ever be a bother?, today just caught me by surprise that's all, don't think that you'll ever be a bother okay?" I patted her head a little as I said that and she took it pretty well, I got a smile out of her but it just some how doesn't look authentic, I'll trust her on whatever may be happening but it still makes me worried.

After some talking with Sayori, I decided to leave her alone for the day, whatever's going on is worrisome no doubt but, I couldn't force it so I had to wait to know what's happening, in the meantime I walk around a little till I notice Natsuki sitting on the floor reading a manga, "Heya", I told her and she got surprised, she must have been very focused not to have noticed I sat down next to her, much less enter the Literature Club, "I-I didn't s-s-see you there!", "I thought you would, guess I caught you by surprise didn't I?", "Yeah" I noticed that she was reading a manga I haven't heard about, "Which one is that?", "Parfait Girls" She said, I had no idea which one was that, but based on the manga style it was drawn, I get the feeling it's exceedingly, moe, my brother would've laughed his ass off though, since I once tried to say moe in front of him very fast and repeatedly.
