Counterattack

-continuation of the 4th week-

Seiko was utterly confused of the nightmare. But she knew one thing, and that was, she never wants that to happen. She was still nervous due to the events last week. Her wound has closed, but the murderer was still nowhere to be found. She contacted the authorities last week, but they said they still have no clue, except, the murderer had light blue green hair. [ Who could it be?! I know Misuto has blue green hair, but he can't be the main reason of the threat! We killed him! ] Seiko thought as she took out the loaf of rugbrød ( Danish bread ) from the cabinet, and started the fire to fry some eggs. After that, she took out the can of powdered cocoa and placed two tablespoons in her cup, then added the hot water.

As she was cooking the eggs, she noticed that her phone started to vibrate. Luckily, the eggs were already cooked so she placed them in a plate, then she got her phone.

Seiko: Hello? Who is this?

???: Ah...b***...you're finally dreamed about that s***** event huh? There's no escape...I know the future...I'm a god after all...

Seiko: MISUTO?! IS THIS YOU?! GET AWAY FROM MY FAMILY YOU BASTARD!

Misuto: ...we'll see about that...*ends the call*

Seiko ate in a gruesome way, while buying a ticket back to Tokyo online. [ COME ON! WHAT'S WITH THE CRAPPY WIFI HERE?! I'M IN A HURRY HERE SO WORK DAMMIT! ] Seiko had to go home quickly. If not, maybe she'll be arriving in her house, looking down on Naomi and Namari's corpse. She would tremble in horror every time she thought about that. After she was done eating, she got dressed up to go to work. As she went outside to lock her door, she saw a little piece of paper on the carpet. She picked it up and didn't bother to look at it. What could go wrong right? Seiko continued walking until she reached the lobby's entrance/exit door. Since her mind was telling her to read the paper, she finally sighed in defeat, and read the paper with a bloody fingerprint.

GO BACK TO JAPAN...GO BACK TO JAPAN AND WAIT TILL YOUR DEATH DEVOURS YOU...

Seiko was so pissed. She was so pissed that she crumpled the piece of paper and threw it in the non-biodegradable trash bin. [ hmph! Like I'll get scared of that little trick! ] As she stepped outside, an innocent little girl had been killed with a headshot. She looked at the girl's parents, hugging their child claiming that she was still alive. Seiko turned away, and wore a psychotic smile. "Hahahahahahhahahaha..." Seiko softly laughed with insanity, as her tears flowed on her cheeks. [ I gotta go home...I HAVE TO GO HOME... ] Seiko went inside the restaurant and didn't perform well on her duties. She was disrespectful to her boss, she was being rude to the customers, and she pissed off her staff. By the end of the day, she was immediately fired from her job, since the management couldn't accept such actions.

As Seiko packed her stuff, she heard a knock on her room. "Who is it?!" Seiko angrily went to the door and prepared to shut it right after she opened it. Surprised, Seiko fell on the floor as she glared at Misuto's burnt body. "H-HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" Misuto grabbed Seiko's shirt and leaned his face near to hers. "Go home so you could solve the mystery..." Right after saying that, Misuto disappeared. [ This isn't real! THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE! ] Seiko hurriedly grabbed her luggage and went to the airport. [ What should I do?! I can't go back to Japan and work in the restaurant there while my boss regrets sending me to Denmark! ] Seiko bit her lower lip as the flight attendant watched her carefully. "Are you Seiko Shinohara?!" The flight attendant brought out a piece of paper and a pen. "Yes I am. How may I help you?" Seiko showed a fake smile. The flight attendant handed the materials to Seiko, then Seiko began to sign the paper.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" The flight attendant pasted the piece of paper on her journal then placed back the book on her bag. Seiko didn't feel awkward anymore since she was starting to get used to this kind of lifestyle. She didn't get to talk with Naomi the whole day. But she knew it was better to stay quiet so she won't mess up, so she just wore her earphones, and started playing the music, slowly drifting her to sleep. Seiko wasn't having a pleasant dream, not right after getting a nightmare, getting fired from her job, and the worst part, Misuto suddenly disappeared in front of her like a ghost.

-Seiko's dream-

"Huh? Where am I? Naomi? Namari? And who's that little boy?" Seiko stood up as she gazed upon the sight of seeing her fiancé , daughter and future son and her future self, fighting and running for their lives. "MOM!" Namari shouted as a boulder crushed Naomi's body, making her surroundings splashed with her blood and her organs as well. "NAOMI!" Seiko froze to her place as her future self passed by her as if she was a transparent figure. The future Seiko rushed to future Naomi's corpse and even tried to move the boulder with all the strength she had left from the battle. But of course, with the battered up body she had, she wasn't able to move the large mass of rock off her wife. "DADDY LET'S GO! WE HAVE TO CONTINUE FOR MOM'S SAKE!" The young boy insisted and pursued his father to leave his mother's corpse.

Meanwhile, Seiko was so dumbfounded and she doesn't know if this will really happen in reality or this is just a nightmare...it could also be a sign as well. "P-PAPA!!!" Namari's scream could be heard from one of the rooms nearby the collapsing building. Future Seiko went back to her senses and kissed her wife's corpse while saying her farewell before carrying her son in her back, fleeing back to the building. "PAPA! DO NOT COME NEAR ANYMORE! JUST GO PAPA! PLEASE JUST GO-AGGGGHHHHHHH!!!" Namari's voice soon turned hoarse and gradually decreased as the gas chamber released its toxic fumes inside the room. "NAMARI!!! NAMARI WHERE ARE YOU!?" Future Seiko started banging and breaking down the doors, hoping to find her daughter, alive. Seiko couldn't bear to watch nor see the events.

She started to cry, begging herself to wake up from this lurid dream. But no matter how she tried to struggle, her body won't coordinate with her mind. Finally, future Seiko was able to find Namari's dead and cold body. "N-NAMARI WAKE UP! PAPA IS HERE...papa is with you...papa is sorry..." She wasn't able to make it in time. It seemed like Namari was still gasping for fresh air or trying to not breathe the air with bane. "Hiiro...for your older sister's sake...run...RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!" This sentence was future Seiko's biggest regret. Hiiro tried to reason out with his father, but if this was for the people he loved most, he would take the risk of dying. Hiiro ran as fast as he could, he tripped along the way but that didn't stop him. Seiko started crying as she saw her future son trying to be tough in this situation. "Hiiro..." Seiko muttered her son's name under her breath.

It wasn't soon enough, Misuto captured Hiiro and covered the child's mouth. "SHUT UP BRAT!" Misuto continued to curse at Hiiro until he reached another chamber. He threw Hiiro inside and did the same thing he did to Namari. "DADDY!!! HELP ME!!! Daddy...*cough* *cough*....w-why daddy?....daddy I-I love you..." It took only a matter of seconds before the gas killed Hiiro. Seiko knelt on the floor and made a plangent scream.

-End of the dream-

-Tokyo, Japan-

Seiko was roused from her sleep by the flight attendant. "Ma'am?! Are you alright?! You were shrill in while you were sleeping...we thought that you were being possessed or something..." Seiko wiped her tears with the tissue and apologized to the flight attendant. [ ...Misuto...it doesn't matter if I kill you one hundred or one thousand times...I won't let you haunt me or the people around me...] Seiko thought to herself as she got her luggage and was about to go to home. As she rode the bus, she noticed Misuto staring directly at her outside the window. She closed the window and drank a pill. She finally got home and was greeted by a warm hug by Naomi. "Seiko! I'm so glad that you're home early! What happened to your work?" Seiko scratched her head and told Naomi that the management wasn't satisfied with her cooking. "Well that's stupid..." Naomi crossed her arms as she pulled Seiko to the dinning room.

"I made Svinestek for dinner! " ( Norwegian food ) Naomi placed the pot of Svinestek on top of the dinning table and Seiko beamed at Naomi, wondering how long she was gone, making it possible for Naomi to learn how to cook swiftly. While Naomi was setting up the table, Seiko went to Namari's crib and wrapped her arms around her daughter. "....I hereby swear to protect you....I won't let anyone harm you Namari...papa won't let any stranger lay a finger on you..." Seiko's voice suddenly turned dark as she was talking. Namari grabbed Seiko's finger and smiled. "P-papa..." Seiko widened her eyes and grinned at the child. "Seiko! Dinner is ready!" Naomi yelled from the dinning room. "Coming dear!" Seiko brought Namari along with her to make sure she won't keep her eyes off her child. As they ate, Naomi brought out a certificate and handed it to Seiko.

Seiko almost choked when she saw the paper. "Naomi..." Seiko stood up from her seat and gave Naomi a long and gentle kiss. "You finally made it! You're a qualified nurse now...I'm so proud of you!" A tear rolled down from Seiko's right eye. "Seiko...you're my inspiration! I knew I had to continue to chase my own path while you continue to walk on yours..." Naomi wiped the smaller girl's tear using her thumb. After the little drama, the couple went back to eating. As they chewed on their meal, a sudden mist appeared in the room. Seiko briskly carried Namari and wrapped her arm around Naomi's waist. "My, my...I ruined the family dinner...oh by the way...can I have some?" Misuto suddenly appeared from the mist and grabbed a spoon and a bowl then started eating.

"What did you come in for Misuto?!" Naomi hissed. Misuto didn't speak until he finished eating. He wiped his lips with the tissue and looked at the family with a scary look. "You've been improving in cooking Naomi...just like Hinoe..." Misuto smirked and disappeared, leaving the couple confused. "H-Hinoe?! This is impossible! Are we in a dream?! Or a nightmare?" Seiko's sweat dripped from her chin. "....no....we have to make him rest in peace as soon as we can!" Naomi showed Seiko the documents that Sachiko gave her last week. As Seiko turned the pages further, her heart started beating in a faster pace. "....I'll do it....both of you should stay here. I'll ask Sachiko for help." Seiko dressed up in a casual way but she has to make sure she was comfortable. She bought biscuits and water bottles from the store and stored them in a big backpack.

"S-Seiko! I'll go with you! I won't leave you alone!" Naomi tried to stop Seiko, but all she saw was an empty road and Seiko in the horizon. "Seiko..." Naomi stopped her tears from falling and gathered up her courage. "I'll be waiting for you..." The taller girl locked the doors and made sure that Namari was with her all the time. Meanwhile, Seiko rushed to the hospital and saw Sachiko with a backpack on her back as well. "What a coincidence...I bet we're on the same track. We'll go together. We'll silence this Misuto!" Sachiko told the whole plan to Seiko and made their way to the laboratory. "Are you ready for this?" "It's not for my sake...it's for them..." But before they even reached the outskirts of the city, Ayumi waved her hand at them. Seiko stopped the car and opened her window. "...I want to see my sister..." Ayumi didn't bring anything aside from a small sling bag filled with documents and small packets of trail mix.

"Hop in...he invaded our territory...it's time to invade his!" Sachiko clenched her fists and Ayumi went inside the car. "Time for our counterattack!" Seiko continued to drive to their destination, not knowing the consequences.
