The Repeat

Chapter 3: The Truth

Time skip to the next day

"Ai-Chan!! I don't have school today"

"really? Then you'll have to come with school with me I guess. I'll talk to the principal"

Time skip to the principals office

"and why didn't you just leave her in a daycare?" the principal asked

"she gets bullied everywhere. In her school she has a friend that defends her, but she feels insecure anywhere without me and her bestfriend." Ai said

"I see.. Then it's alright I suppose, just let her wear this. It's a slip so that the employees know she's excused."

"thank you"

Yashiro went to the class she goes to, and let her sister sit on an extra table behind her. There was a table no one used, and it was safe. Kyoko was just using her phone and drew the whole time

"Kyoko-Chan, I have to visit someone"

"mk, lets go then, Ai-Chan!"

They went to the girls bathroom

"hold on Kyoko, I have to do something."

Ai went inside to find Hanako, expecting her arrival. But did not expect Ai's sister to be there

"Hi, Hanako-kun.." Yashiro said, she was scared to face him

"Yashiro! It's been so long! Way too long! I'm so glad your here! " Hanako said

"yeah I guess.. I missed you too?" Ai said

"Kyoko, come inside if you want" Ai said

"mk!- OH MY GAWD IS THAT A BOY IN THE BATHROOM?!-"

"ahh, so your last name is Minamoto then I suppose." Ai said

"She's adopted but no one knew her last name, anyway this is Kyoko, my sister."

"I see.. Anyway Yashiro, did you.. Make a wish?" Hanako said, concerned

"Call me Ai, and I don't remember anything past the time I went to the place called, 'no where and everywhere'." Ai said

"I see.. So you will continue to feel extreme pain."

"i suppose so.. Also, I found something!" Ai said.

She brought out a staff that used to be owned by kou, and pointed it to Hanako

"I bet you can't even use that thing." Hanako said. "show me your hands"

"E-ehmmm... W-why should I d-do that?" Yashiro said as a bead of sweat roled down her face

"so I'm right.. Where did you even find that thing anyway?" Hanako said, with a causious look

"I found it hidden in our house, it was probably left with Kyoko at the adoption center and hidden by our parents. it seems to me that the Minamoto bloodline doesn't exist in Japan anymore. Except for Kyoko! I wish I could teach her though.. She's too young for this!" Yashiro said

"did you at least learn how to use it?" Hanako replied

"hmm, I can control it, but a bit of damage is done to my hands. It's not as bad as Kou-kun's though.." Yashiro then tapped the edge of the raiteijou on the ground, then an electric cage appeared

"woah, your better than the kid!" Hanako said, not expecting to be charged by a bit of lightning

"o-ow! What was that for?" Hanako said

"remove the seal." Yashiro said with a pissed face

"don't wanna" Hanako said with a cocky smirk

"is that so...?" Yashiro said with a sly grin. It creeped Hanako out, but he knew that if he removed the seal, Ai would be stronger than Teru

"Fine.." Hanako said, puffing out his cheeks

Yashiro giggled at the statement, ever so innocently. But Hanako knew, that she wasn't as innocent as she seemed. After the previous conversation

"not!" Hanako said with a child-like smile on his face. Wearing his cape.
Hanako noticed Yashiro drifting off in thought and took advantage of it.

"you never change, huh?" Yashiro said, with a bright, but gentle smile

Hanako then hugged Yashiro from behind

"E-EHH?!" Yashiro got flustered at the sudden cuddle. But she was secretly enjoying the hug. She missed Hanako's touch so much

"there! All done" Hanako said with a sly grin

"what did you do..?" Yashiro said, with a pissed tone while she was touching her cheek

"a simple seal, so that you can't activate your powers~!" Hanako said, with an innocent smile

Then he suddenly shifted to a seductive tone, and look when he said, "besides, you don't need it, when you have me~"

"I think not." Yashiro said, with a mad tone. "I have to do...." Yashiro was alarmed at suddenly forgetting what she was gonna say. "what was it again..? It was pretty importa- KYAAAAAA!!!!" Yashiro was in pain, her head hurt. She didn't like it. She remembered some sort of speech that then sent chills down her spine

"keep the boy under control forever, make sure he doesn't go out of control. Make sure that if you put a leash on the boy, that it will never be possible get rid of. then you will no longer be in pain, and you shall regain your memories. If you do not do this, the curse I have put on you will stay. You will be reborn, feel pain, remember, then die. You will have the same length of a lifespan when you were Yashiro. Once you succeed, you will stay with the man you love forever even when you die. When you die, you will live with your dead lover in his boundary. You know your own lover correct? But do not fret child, as you will not regret your choice once you fulfill your mission."

'who? A boy..? Which boy? What the hell is going on?? Another flashback?' Yashiro sighed, she was getting really stressed.

'Yashiro? Are you alright?" Hanako said, he was getting really worried

"I'm fine, Hanako-kun. I'm fine.." Yashiro said, with an expression even Hanako couldn't tell.

"well,lets go home now shall we, Kyoko-chan?" Yashiro said, going back to her cheerful smile

"Mhm! Come on, Ai-chan!!"

"oh, before you go, the kid, Aoi, and Akane are still here. Well, I have a meeting now. Bye!"

And with that, Hanako left, without a trace.

"bye.."
