The boy woke up in his bed with a gasp, clutching his chest. He quickly pulled his body up and coughed. He had a raging headache. It felt like someone was bashing on it with a hammer nonstop. He put his hand to his head and checked the time. Seven in the morning again. The boy got out and checked the stone which was on his bedside table.
It was now a shade of grey; no blue left.
There were many cracks in the stone now. It looked like it would break by a simple drop. I think this is my last chance. He thought as he set it back down and quickly changed into his school uniform. While in the bathroom getting ready, he noticed he had faint scars where his injuries were. Including a faint bruise on his neck where he strangled himself. He shrugged and left his house, planning what to do with this last chance. Maybe I should just give up and accept our painful fate. We eventually die anyways. He didn't walk to school with Mayu and during the morning he didn't say one word to the girl. Even his classmates noticed this, which they looked at him for. During lunch, Morishige was eating alone at his table in the back corner of the classroom. The rest of the group were sitting in a circle. Mayu looked upset from being ignored by her friend. Ayumi smiled at her. "It's okay, Suzumoto. He's probably just upset from your last day. I'll get Kishunuma to go up to him." She looked at Yoshiki, which he quickly accepted. He stood up and walked over to the lone boy with his head down. "Oi! What happened to you and Suzumoto?! You two break up?"
"Don't go into my business.." He looked up and gave Yoshiki a cold stare. He stepped back, putting his hands in front of him, giving the stand back pose. "Jeez, jeez. You can be kind of scary sometimes. Uh.. It's because Suzumoto is leaving tomorrow, right?"
"Mm.." The taller boy packed his items away and walked out of the room. Yoshiki turned back to the group and shrugged. "I think I just made things worse.."
Mayu looked down to her food. "Something's bugging you, Shige-Nii... Why can't I help you with your problem?!" Naomi patted Mayu's back and smiled. "There, there.. I'm sure he'll feel better. Remember, we have the cultural festival."
Mayu looked at her and slightly smiled back. "R-Right-!"
"And---!" Ayumi perked up and put her hands into a peace sign. "We have my farewell gift to do! That will be sure to raise his mood!"
Yoshiki chuckled. "Oooh, Shinozaki~I'm sure it would be something to die for!"
((Get it? Haha okay.. *sits in corner*))

***

During the afternoon, Morishige didn't have any contact with anyone else. His classmates gave him stares during the afternoon classes, and they got dirty looks back.
It was now after the cultural festival and Mayu was starting to get really upset to the point of crying. Everyone was packing up when Yoshiki walked behind the boy. "Tell us what's up! You're literally making Suzumoto cry!" The taller boy twitched and mumbled something under his breath. He quickly turned his head away and walked to the other side of the classroom. Yoshiki sighed and walked back to the group.
"Okay everyone, gather around!" Ayumi lit a candle and sat down. Everyone did as she said. The group looked at the lone boy who was standing in the corner. He sighed and walked to the group and sat down next to Mayu. Mayu looked away and rubber her red eyes, trying not to cry anymore.
Everything was the same, Ayumi telling the same story. The boy sighed. It gets boring when you hear the damn story over three times. He thought to himself.
Everyone gathered around and said Sachiko we beg of you in each of their heads. They pulled the charm like always and the floor started to shake. "Earthquake!" Yui yelled, moving her hands towards the desks scattered around the room. But they were too late. The floor opened up before they could move and the students all fell to the darkness..

Mayu Suzumoto woke up in a classroom, alone. There were a couple of tables and chairs scattered throughout the room. She pulled herself up and looked around the room. Is this a haunted house?! Shige-Nii...Wait, he's mad at me... The girl thought, looked down. "I feel like I've been here before..." She muttered, making her way to the doorway. "....I'll find you Shige-Nii!" She opened the door and walked into the unknown..

***

Morishige woke up on the ground inside of another classroom. The classroom he was in was unusually dark. The boy could only see about three feet in front of himself. He slowly pulled up his body and leaned on what appears to be a desk. He seemed out of breath. "W-Why..." Damn... I feel so weak.. He thought as he pulled out his cellphone out to use for a source of light. He turned on the cellphone flashlight and forced a flinch. He had to at least have some reaction to be considered sane. A-And I still am.. I'm still sane.. There were many corpses around him of all ages. Some looked like they died minutes before and some looked like they died years ago. Morishige made a small smile, but it quickly vanished. He shined the light around the room to look for a door. He finally saw one in the corner of the room. The boy got over there slowly by leaning on chairs and tables. He tried to open the door. Locked. It was like a picture on the wall. N-No... I-I'm trapped in here! He thought as he stumbled backwards and tripped, hitting the floor. He heard some movement in the back part of the room. Though, he couldn't see who it was. Did he end up with someone without knowing? "W-Who's there...? He quietly asked. He heard some mumbling. "S-Shige-Nii, I can't see anything! It's dark.." His eyes widened to his friend's voice. He quickly got up and went towards the voice. "M-Mayu... I'm coming!" He shined the light around and saw Mayu lying on the ground, rubbing her eyes. She stood up and gasped. She ran towards the taller boy and hugged him, knocking him over, ending with Mayu on top of the boy. She smirked and giggled. The boy narrowed his eyes. Is it just me, or does that giggle sound different? "How I dreamed to be alone with Shige-Nii~!" The girl giggled again and kissed Morishige deeply. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Mmf--?!" He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her off of him, making her hit the ground next to him. "Eek-" The girl squeaked. He pulled his body up into a sitting position. "I-I thought you wanted this, Shiiiiiiiiiig~" Mayu got up and stood in front of the boy, her voice sounding a little more demonic-like. The girl cackled. The boys eyes widened, not quite sure on what to do. Mayu's skin started dissolving, as if something was crawling out of of a shell. It seemed to be a ghost acting as Mayu. She was short, like a child. Her skin had a blue glow to it and she wore a red torn up dress. The imposter was Sachiko Shinozaki. Sachiko was carrying some bloody scissors in her hands. "Aww! You're too late! I already killed her~"
The boy screamed loudly and put his hands to his head in response to the laughing spirit. He could feel the last of his sanity slipping away from him. "A-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

-A few hours later-

Mayu was sitting in the middle of the hallway crying like a little child. She had her face buried in her hands. Shige-Nii.... Come out already! I'm terrified! There's corpses and ghosts everywhere! The girl thought, trying to stop crying. "Suzumoto!" A familiar voice called out to her. "Class Rep?" She moved her hands away from her face. Everyone was there. Ayumi, Yoshiki, Seiko, Naomi, Satoshi, Yuka and Yui. Yoshiki walked next to Mayu and helped her up. "We're almost out. We saved the souls of the victims." Ayumi explained. "We have to escape soon though."
"B-But Shige-Nii-!" Ayumi nodded. "We'll find him." They all started to walk. The whole school felt odd to Mayu. She felt like she had been there before. Many times actually.

They heard some noises coming from a classroom. Everyone stopped and looked at each other. Ayumi nodded her head, deciding they should go in. The classroom was dark, and class rep pulled out her phone and turned on the flashlight. They saw a boy huddled up in the corner, holding his head and rocking back and forth. He seemed to be mumbling something to himself. "Oh no.." Ayumi looked down. Mayu made a small gasp, eyes watering. He looked up at the girl, eyes widening. He didn't seem to recognize her anymore. "S-Shige-Nii!" Mayu ran up to Morishige and wrapped her arms around him. She was terrified, but was still glad to see him. He flinched in response, not moving from his place. "N-No.. You're not her... S-She's dead.." He mumbled to himself. He pushed Mayu away from  him, causing her to land on the ground. "S-She's dead!!" The boy yelled a little louder, starting to laugh manically. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Mayu got up and stepped away, getting a comforting hug from Ayumi. She looked over at Yoshiki, who looked a little creeped out himself. "We're running out of time! This is our only chance to escape! Bring him over here!" Yoshiki nodded and walked closer to the laughing boy with caution. He tried to grab Morishige, and got a hard hit back. "Dammit Shig--!" He grunted.
Ayumi looked at the other six people. "Everyone! Get your charms out and stand in a circle." Everyone pulled out their charms and stood in a circle, waiting for Yoshiki and Morishige. The blonde finally grabbed him by the arms and yanked him over to the group. The taller boy was just screaming at this point. Yoshiki elbowed him in the stomach and shut him up. His grip on the boy's arms became tighter so he wouldn't run away or attack anyone. Ayumi sighed. "Is everyone ready?" She asked, getting nods back. "Listen Morishige, can you say a simple sentence?" Yoshiki asked him. Morishige looked up at the blonde haired boy with a confused expression. "Say Sachiko we beg of you when I tell you to. Now repeat it to me." Ugh, it's like teaching a two year old how to talk.. What happened to him anyways? Yoshiki thought to himself.
"Sa..chi...ko... We beg of you...?" He repeated those words. "Good. Now let's get home." Yoshiki let go of one of his hands and pulled out Shige's paper scrap out and put it in his free hand. They all put their charms back together, with the taller boy following their actions a few moments after.

Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you
Sachiko we beg of you

Yoshiki elbowed Morishige again. "Say it." The taller boy tilted his head and gave a nod.

...Sachiko we beg of you

***

Mayu didn't really remember much happened what happened the rest of that dreaded night. Morishige attacked Yoshiki when they got back to their normal classroom. The blonde ended up in the hospital with near-fatal injuries. Everyone vowed to never speak of their times in Heavenly host again.
Even after the times, her once best friend Morishige was never the same. They rarely saw him at school; once a month if they were lucky. When he was at school, he would act weird and sometimes dangerous, and he did not recognize Mayu at all.
Even years after, Mayu remembered times when she was at that horrible school and died there. Also what her friend was really doing. She had now moved into an apartment and enrolled into a college for drama and the arts.

--Unknown POV, Early spring, three years after the incident--

It was a beautiful afternoon. I was walking with Mayu Suzumoto to her apartment to work on a drama project. I had known her for about a year now. We walked into her apartment complex and went to her door. "Oh, thanks for letting us work on the project here!" I giggled as Mayu unlocked the door. "No problem Aiko! I just have to warn you... I live with someone.." I giggled and poked her, "Oh~Please tell me more~Is it a booooooooyfriend~?" She blushed and shook her head. For a second there, she looked a little sad. Oops... I thought. I shouldn't have said that maybe?  She slowly opened the door with caution and stepped into her dark apartment. "S-Shige-Nii... I'm hom--?!" I was knocked to the ground, being choked by something--no. Someone. "A-Ah..." I mumbled, trying to pull this person off of me. S-Such strength! I thought. I finally got a better look at my attacker. He was quite tall--About six feet. He was wearing long sleeved pjs and had messy, dark blue hair. His eyes showed no sanity in them, and he had a huge grin on his face. Mayu closed the door and gasped, then went into her school bag. She started to search for something. She pulled out a syringe and rolled up the boy's sleeve. There were many bruises on his arm. Most likely this wasn't her first time injecting the boy with something. She put the syringe into his arm and injected the substance into it. He twitched, then started to scream loudly. He then fell on top of me and went unconscious, his grip loosening. I squirmed out from under the tall boy and coughed. Mayu looked down and whispered. "S-Sorry Aiko.. Can you help me bring him over to the couch?"
"S-Sure.." I got up and we both picked up the boy and set him on the couch. She sat down on the couch next to him and rested his head on her lap. She started to pet his messy hair. "Again... Sorry about that. He isn't usually this bad..." I sat down in a chair across from the couch. "It's okay... But why is he like that?"

Mayu made a small smile. It looked sad. "Can I ask you something? If someone very dear to you were going to die and you had a chance to save them, would you? No matter how big the sacrifice to yourself was?"

What a deep question.. I thought. "Of course I would. I would do anything for the people I love."

Mayu closed her eyes, then reopened them again. "For the people you love..." She repeated those words. "Well that's what happened to him.. For the person he loves, he risked everything.. And unfortunately, it made him like this. But one day, I hope he will remember who I am... And I hope he will get better." Mayu kissed the top of his forehead before getting up. "Anyways, let's get going on that project." I nodded and got up as well. "Right!" We both walked to Mayu's room. Mayu paused before walking into her room. She looked back at the now peacefully sleeping boy.

"Goodnight Shige-Nii.."
