Chapter 8: Rationality Time
Reaper's POV
I won. I got what I wanted. Pure freedom. I escaped from the facility. Well, not yet. If I left as soon as I could, will I even save her? If I left earlier she wouldn't try to save me, and would live. Yes... it is all my fault she is like this.
"Aguri!!" I screamed out, watching her helplessly fall down the pile of rubble. But I came back to reality when she was about to hit the ground and had caught her just in time.
"I've done it now..." She smiles, " I didn't think the traps would activate after the facility went down."
"Why..."
"I had a feeling... my voice... would not be enough to stop you..."
If I had notice 0.1 seconds earlier, if I spent my time learning how to heal with these tentacles... I could have saved her life. But no, I put an end to that possibility.
Why... "I may as well have killed you myself."
"Well of course... but you chose not to. I just did what I wanted to do... You know, I don't mind dying... if it's for you. That's how important you are to me."
Sprouting all this nonsense... as if you admire me.
"Someday you too Mr. Shinigami-san, will find someone like that... someone you'd admire." She said.
"If you were the one to kill me, I'd have no regrets. But to think there would be someone like you out there." I said... my heart breaking.
She... spat out blood. But still. She chose to continue to portray her last words. Even through all the pain it was giving her at the moment.
"In this year you have left... if you are willing to spend your time, go teach those children. Similar to you... they're helplessly wandering in the darkness. But if you look at them head-on, I'm sure... My... what wonderful tentacles... with these... hands of yours... I'm sure you'll be a splendid teacher... who everyone... will admire.
That's it. She's gone. Her hand had reached up to my face, only to drop to the ground. I found that she had kept the present she had showed me a few days earlier, and of course kept it as one of my most prized possessions.
Hmph. Her faults were also apart of her charms... even her fashion sense.
But now I know what to do with the few days I have left on Earth. I'll spend my days with the students you have been watching.
"I won't let go of your students no matter what, Aguri."
And with that I wrote a note leaving it next to her for 'whoever it may concern".
The tentacles asked me what I wanted to be. I answered... to be weak. To be riddled with weakness. To be able to perceive the weak, protect them, guide them... to be that kind of creature, that kind of teacher. Sometimes who I really am might even show.
But I'll give it my all. I'll aim for her goal in my own way, the way I do best.
Kayano's POV... Akari Yukimura's
I saw her. My sister. Dead. Lying on the floor. Helpless.
I saw a tentacled creature beside her reaching his hand, no, tentacle out to her. As if it was trying to harm her. But then all of a sudden it flew away. But I saw it had left a note behind.
It read:
"To whomever it may concern,
I will withdraw for now but I can takeover as homeroom teacher for Kunugigaoka Junior High Class 3-E if you want."
My eyes widened the farther I read down the note. Trying to reach down for my phone, I came across a vial. I checked Aguri's heart rate.
Of course I was too late. I've never been there for you sister. I just want to repay the favor.
~Time Skip~
I got home and read the documents that I found near the vials.
Apparently if this was injected into a human it would give them powers. Revenge...
"If it does not receive proper maintenance, then user will suffer through hellish pain." Nothing mattered. As long as I avenged my sister. All of it. Was for her.
After finding out that the only way I could ever meet this guy was to transfer into 3-E, I flunked all my classes. Which, of course, easily earned me a seat by the window.
But luckily I got to sit next to Nagisa! Of course shy as usual. But somethings changed about her too...
