Chapter 11
The guys spent their last day in Hawaii by going to shops, buying souvenirs and visiting places for the last time. The plane ride back was the same as before. Though it wasn't as noisy since most of the students were tired from the trip. The guys said goodbye to each other as they walked back home.
Soraru was dragging his feet to his house, he was physically and mentally exhausted after the trip.
The raven-haired lazily greeted his parents and gave them the souvenirs he brought back for them. He then went up to his room and flopped on his bed.
The raven-haired was about to close his eyes and sleep until he saw his phone light up. He groaned as he grabbed his phone, not surprised that it was the guys.
Mafu: that was fun~
Amatsuki: it sure was
Amatsuki: i wanna go back~
Urata: go to sleep now
Mafu: no mom
Urata: oi!
Mafu: www
Kashitaro: how aren't you guys tired?
Amatsuki: we are
Mafu: yep
Sakata: then why are you still awake?
Mafu: because I'm still in the trip mood
Senra: I'm surprise you two are the ones that aren't tired
Senra: you kinda usually are
Nqrse: not even Luz is that hyper
Nqrse: he literally jumped on his bed and fell asleep
Shima: how do you know~
Nqrse: he texted me before and said good night
Mafu: eh?!?
Mafu: and he doesn't tell me~
Amatsuki: i feel betrayed
Soraru sighed as he put the guys on mute. He didn't even have the strength or energy to tell them to shut up. The raven-haired rolled over on his bed and closed his eyes. Not caring about changing his clothes, he'll worry about that tomorrow. Soraru turned off his lights as he fell asleep.

The raven-haired opened his eyes to find himself in a dark area. There was nothing surrounding him, it was completely void of any life, light or knowledge of another's existence.
Soraru was unsure about his feelings of this place. A part of him could sense the familiarity and comfort of the place yet another part sensed the despair and torment of it.
The raven-haired decided to walk around the place, not knowing where he was going. But it was better than just standing around.
As he walked around the raven-haired felt a painful, throbbing headache come through. He fell to his knees as a couple of memories suddenly flooded in his mind.
Soraru flinched as he tried to control his hyperventilating. Fear was clearly written in the raven-haired's eyes as the memory of him being tormented by some mysterious figure finally resurfaced in his mind.
So that figure was Mafu's granduncle. He shook his head as he got up to his feet again. But he's not here anymore so he can't do anything to hurt me, to hurt us. Soraru sighed in relief as the feeling of despair and uneasiness disappeared from his mind.
He then noticed that there seemed to be a small light shining through the darkness in a distance. Soraru debated with himself on whether he wanted to head there or not. He looked at the light again, it felt comforting and mother-like. The raven-haired slowly made his way.
He saw Akiza was watching the screens with a smile on her face. Even though Soraru didn't know her name, he still called out as if he had said the name many times back then.
"Akiza?"
The medusa jolted a bit at the raven-haired's sudden voice. She turned her head to look behind and see the male awkwardly wave at her.
"Ah, Soraru. Surprised to see you here."
"So am I. Why am I here in this.....?"
"This place is called the void, it's where I trapped myself with my brother to stop the loops. But it seemed like that didn't work as I planned."
"Trapped?"
"I assume that your friends told you about everything?"
"Well....yes, but I'm still trying to comprehend it." Soraru sheepishly said as he rubbed his neck.
"It's understandable, after all your memories were taken to bring you back."
"Wait taken?"
Soraru was confused, the guys said that I willingly gave up my memories.
"I suppose 'taken' isn't the correct word. It's more like they disappeared and are in the back of your mind."
Soraru just nodded his head in understanding. Akiza smiled sadly at the raven-haired.
"I am sincerely sorry for not being able to help you a lot more back then."
"What do you mean?"
"I could only watch my brother's plan and creation destroy you guys, physically and mentally. I didn't have any of my powers to aid, which left me useless."
"Eh? But it's not your fault. You did help us with giving up your abilities to let us live and escape the loop." Soraru was surprised by the words that left his mouth while the medusa smiled.
"So some of your memories are coming back."
"Will I be able to remember everything?"
"That is true, why do you ask?"
Soraru looked away as he rubbed his arm anxiously. The raven-haired felt like there was still some lingering doubt in his mind.
"Well I gave up my memories to live. To come back without remembering anything. So if I remember, then wouldn't that mean that I just gave up my memories for nothing if they're still going to be in my head anyways."
Aliza stayed silent as she listened to the raven-haired. That is true... why was it that he was unable to go back with his memories when he'll eventually remember them. Wouldn't it have been easier to just brung him back without costing any sacrifice. The medusa was pondering about it.
"I'm sorry to say that I'm unsure about why you had to sacrifice your memories when you'll still have them in the end."
"It's fine."
Soraru gave the medusa a small smile. Another question occurred in his mind.
"How did I get here? And why am I here?"
"I could bring anyone in here with me if I want. Though I'm just as surprised as you."
Soraru crossed his arms as he pondered about a possible reason.
"I guess you can unconsciously come here whenever you want now. Since in a way, your memories and ability are linked to here." Akiza said as the raven-haired nodded his head at the reason.
"I guess I should be going." Soraru said as the medusa gave him a warm, kind smile.
"Enjoy your peaceful life. And please look out for Mafu for me."
Soraru nodded his head as he felt himself get drowsy. Soraru then fell to the ground as his eyes closed. It was usually painful but how it was as if he was just tired.
Akiza watched the raven-haired's body disappear and looked back at her screens. She frowned slightly as she thought back on Soraru's question. This is strange indeed. Could there be an actual reason? Akiza suddenly began feeling uneasy after hearing the raven-haired's doubts.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
The albino was walking to school with the raven-haired. Soraru had told him about his small trip to the void. He left off his doubts and uneasiness about remembering things. He didn't want to worry the guys, though a small part of him was begging him to tell them. That things would go terribly wrong again just because he kept a secret.
"I faintly remember about my grandmother,
She was always caring towards human and didn't mind helping them."
"Can you tell me more about your granduncle?" Soraru asked the albino, who frowned a bit.
"Even though I remember about my dad telling me that my granduncle killed me, I don't have have much memories, maybe even none, about him."
"Maybe Akimasa sensei used his ability to make you forget any bad memories from back then." Soraru said as he crossed his arm.
From what the guys told me, Akimasa made me forget about my trauma from the pervious reset? Timeline? The raven-haired still didn't know what to call the past resets that he had forgotten.
"Probably." Mafu said before he broke in a grin and tackled the male in front of him.
"Luz~"
"H-Hey!"
The light haired male felt himself get crushed by the albino's hug. Soraru could only feel pity for the taller male who was probably beginning to get suffocated.
"M-Mafu! L-Let go of me!"
"Www nope~"
"Why are you doing this?!?"
"To bring Soraru's memories back~ he might remember how I always clung onto you." Mafu teasingly said as the raven-haired rolled his eyes.
"So you basically just want him to remember how jealous and heartbroken he was back then."
".....when you put it that way then it makes me seem like the bad guy~" Mafu pouted as he let go of the light haired male.
"Then what if I flirt with Soraru~ that will make him remember about how he loved you yet felt like he couldn't be with you."
"Isn't that an even worse thing to make him remember?!?"
"You guys know I'm right here." Soraru said, completely unamused.
Mafu and Luz looked at the raven-haired as they grinned. The two males laughed at Soraru's annoyed expression.
"How could I forget about my favorite childhood friend~" Luz jokingly said as the raven-haired sighed and began to walk ahead of them.
"I think I'm starting to wish for my memories to never come back." Soraru jokingly said as the light haired male and albino pouted.
The three made their way to the school gates and noticed that the green eyed brunette wasn't there. Mafu rose his eyebrows in confusion.
"Where's Urata?" Mafu asked before jumping at the sudden voice behind him.
"Right here~"
The short brunette laughed at the albino's scared expression. Mafu glared at him while the others rolled their eyes.
"So why's he in his ghost form?" Luz asked as he looked at the others, who shrugged.
"Don't know." Nqrse said as the redhead looked at the three.
"He didn't even bother telling us why and just said to act like we don't see him." Sakata stated.
"And you're doing a terrible job at it." Urata stated as he crossed his arm in annoyance.
"It's kinda hard to act like you're not there when we can hear your annoying voice." Shima jokingly muttered.
The purple-haired felt himself get smacked the green eyed brunette. Shima rubbed his head as he glared at the short brunette.
"Oi!"
"So care to explain?" Kashitaro asked the short brunette, who looked at them.
"I'll spend maybe a day or two as a ghost and follow Soraru around just like back then. It could help bring some of his memories back~"
"Oh~ and since we weren't able to see you before, we have to act like that." Amatsuki said as Urata nodded his head.
"But won't it be hard to act like you aren't here?" Sakata questioned as the green eyed brunette smirked.
"You'll just have to try~"
Sakata didn't like the smirk on the green eyed brunette's face. He'll definitely abuse this power. The redhead could already tell that the short brunette was going to use this as a way to tease him even more.
"Why didn't you think about this earlier?" Nqrse asked as the short brunette crossed his arms.
"I did, but I wasn't sure if it'd work."
"So why are you trying now?" Senra asked as Urata grinned.
"Because he knows most of his memories now. Just still doesn't remember about me being a ghost, some of your deaths, his feelings for Mafu and that day."
"I guess we'll try to see how this goes." Shima stated as the raven-haired sighed.
"I can already imagine how annoying you're going to be."
"Then that means that it's already working a bit~"
Soraru rolled his eyes as he began to walk ahead to class. The guys followed behind as they chatted with one another. Urata grinned as he floated behind the raven-haired.
"Get ready to be stuck with just me again~"
Soraru sighed before giving the green eyed brunette a small smile. He was happy to see that the guys are still trying to help him recover his memory. Guess this is how I managed to live through all the torment. The guys were always at my side.
