The Dead One: The Final Grudge

Chapter 79

???: KURRRRRRRO~! WAKE YOUR LAZYASS UP!

Kuro: Waaah?!

Kuro falls out of his bed from all the shouting. He ends up hitting his head onto the floor.

Kuro: Ouch...Damnit...Whose screaming at me-?!

Wait...

He's in his bed...?

Wait...that lump on his bed...a cat...? Milord-sama?

Milord: Meow?

It's Morning...?

Someone screaming at him to get up...?

That only means one thing...

Kuro quickly ran to the window and opened up the curtains. Standing outside his apartment was a familiar person that he knew and loved.

Kuro: Shouta....

Shouta: Oh come on! Open up! It's time for school! If I can't skip it! You can't either! Oh...hey you damn feline...

Milord: HISS!!!!

Kuro: Shouta...(He's...alive...wait...the world...Is it...?)

Kuro quickly opened the door and let Shouta inside.

Shouta: Finally! I was beginning to worry about you.

Kuro: Shouta...You're...

Shouta: Hmm...?

Kuro: Ah....Nevermind...

Kuro looked outside.

Everything...looked peaceful. The sky was blue. Cheery blossom petals fell down in the middle of spring. Bird chirping and squirrels chattering while looking for food.

So far...

No blood...

No corpses...

No gore...

No demons or Yokai-chan....

The world...was surprisingly stable...

Kuro: (Things actually looked back to normal...did me and Mei actually... reversed everything...?)

They actually...was able to fix the damages that been made?

Shouta: Oi. Earth to Kuro. You in there?

Kuro looked next to him to see Shouta waving his hand in front of his face to get his attention.

Shouta...

Shouta is still...

Kuro:.....

Shouta: Kuro? Hey buddy. You okay? If you're not feeling well. You could just told me. We can skip school today if that's-?!

Shouta suddenly went quiet when Kuro grabbed him...and to his surprise...pulled him into a hug...

Shouta: K-Kuro...? H-Hey...Wha...?

Kuro: (Shouta...is still here...still alive...thank goodness...) Don't die... Don't die yet...

Shouta: Eh? Die? What are you talking about, Kuro? I'm still alive aren't I? Did you had a bad dream or something? What's gotten into you?

Kuro:.....

Shouta: Kuro?

Kuro: I'm just happy you're alright...

Shouta stayed quiet for a moment before something wet hit his back.

Shouta:....Kuro? Are you crying?
