Soraru jolted up from his bed as his head throbbed in pain. He looked around the room to see Senra was asleep, the raven-haired sighed in relief. At least Senra doesn't have to remember that. Soraru then quickly left his bed and headed towards Shima's room. He nearly bumped into Sakata as he was walking down the halls. The raven-haired stumbled back a bit as he looked at the redhead. He blinked as he processed what happened. Sorary thought he saw something on the redhead's neck before realizing it was just the sakura tattoo. I must be still tired.

"Eh? Soraru?"

Sakata snapped out of his thoughts as he stared at the raven-haired's sudden appearance in confusion. Soraru looked at the redhead, he was wondering why he was up at the moment.

"Eh? Why are you awake?"

"I couldn't sleep so I decided to walk around."

"Where's Urata and Shima?"

"Asleep in the room," Sakata said as he titled his head in confusion, "is there a reason you're asking me about them?"

"Well... Shima died in the previous reset."

Sakata widened his eyes as he heard the raven-haired's words. He felt bad that Soraru had to go through another death, during a school trip. In his hometown no less, the very same place he saw Urata die.

"I just need him to make sure he's okay so that when the fire starts—"

"Fire?"

"The hotel got caught on fire in the previous reset. I don't know how exactly but I'm not taking chances."

Sakata felt a chill down his spine as he followed Soraru towards the room. Once they made it, Sakata opened the door with the card key as they entered the room. Urata noticed the two and floated towards them.

"Eh? You found Sakata?"

The raven-haired nodded as he looked at the room the purple-haired is in. Soraru went to check on Shima but found that the door was locked.

"Eh?"

"Is something wrong?" Sakata asked as the raven-haired turned to look at him.

"The room is locked."

"Eh?"

"Oi idiot, did you lock it by accident as you left?"

"Maybe.....I can't remember." Sakata said as he tried to think back on whether he did or not.

"It shouldn't matter, it can be locked and unlocked on the inside so Shima wouldn't have any trouble leaving." Soraru said as he sighed in relief that the purple-haired was able to leave the room. At least he didn't die from suffocating.

"Soraru's here?"

Sorato had left his room, only to see the raven-haired was there. He titled his head as he stared at the raven-haired.

"Eh? You're awake Sorato?"

"Wasn't tired at all." The short raven-haired replied lazily.

Soraru remembered that Sorato was also killed in the fire. Urata widened his eyes upon thinking about something.

"What if this bastard got a power?"

"I doubt it, the book only showed one remember." Soraru said as he gave the green eyed brunette a side glance.

"Maybe it's for him and not Shima." Sakata suggested but the raven-haired slightly shook his head.

"He would've reacted seeing Urata by now."

"Right, the bastard can't see me so I can do this."

Urata flicked Sorato's forehead, making the male jolt at the sudden pain. The green eyed brunette smirked as Soraru rolled his eyes at Urata's childish behavior. The short raven-haired was rubbing his forehead before his eyes landed on the redhead's neck, looking at the tattoo.

"You know I've been meaning to ask about this tattoo." Sorato said as he poked the redhead's neck.

Sakata let out a small cry as he jolted, the touch on his neck made him feel ticklish. He slightly blushed in embarrassment at the small noise that left his mouth.

"D-Don't poke my neck."

"Www."

Urata wasn't amused at the short raven-haired's action. He smacked the short raven-haired's head, Sorato winced at the sudden pain. Soraru gave the green eyed brunette a scolding glare. Urata ignored the raven-haired's glare as he then pinched the redhead's cheek.

"W-Why am I getting assaulted?!"

"For being too naive."

"Well Shima is fine for now but we should at least stay here so we can make sure he's face." Soraru said, not wanting to deal with the two male's bickering.

"Actually I found something that made me curious last time."

Soraru glanced at the green eyed brunette, who gestured towards the small table. The raven-haired walked towards it while Sorato continued to question the redhead about his tattoo. Soraru noticed it was a box of matches.

"I found them on the floor, close to a garbage can that had some gasoline in it."

Eh? That's strange. Soraru thought before giving the green eyed brunette a questioning look.

"And you decided to being it here?"

"Better than leaving it in the hallways."

Soraru did agree with Urata on that, leaving them out would be dangerous.

"I think someone planned to burn the hotel. The trashcan was by one of the exits so the person could leave quickly without having to worry about gettin caught in it."

Soraru stayed silent as the green eyed brunette continued to say his theory.

"I mean why would you have some gasoline in a trashcan and the matches just coincidentally nearby?"

Soraru was a bit scared at the thought of someone wanting to set the place on fire. Why would they want to do that?

Sorato noticed the raven-haired was looking at something and walked towards him, leaving the annoyed redhead.

"Whatcha looking at?"

Sorato noticed the matches and widened his eyes in surprise and shock.

"When did these matches get here?"

Soraru couldn't really think of a lie but it seemed like Sakata noticed his struggle.

"I found them on the floor in the hallway and decided to bring them here before I looked for a teacher to tell them."

"Couldn't you just take it with you as you looked for the teacher?" Sorato asked as the redhead's expression faltered a bit.

"It'd be weird for a student to be seen carrying matches. If something happened then people might blame him." Soraru backed up the redhead as he crossed his arms.

"That's true." Sorato said as he looked at the matches.

"Well I'll go tell a teacher."

The short raven-haired walked out of the room as the other two watched him leave.

Shit.

Sakata turned his head to look at the room that Shima was in. Guess Shima's awake now. The redhead had heard the purple-haired's thought and walked towards the door.

"Shima are you okay?"

"Just peachy," was the reply given.

"Can you open the door?" Soraru asked as the purple-haired complied.

The door as the two saw Shima look at it confused. He then turned to look at the two.

"Why did it have a lock on?"

"I might've accidentally locked it as I left the room." Sakata said as the purple-haired nodded.

Shima then noticed Urata floating next to the raven-haired. He widened his eyes in shock as he stared at the green eyed brunette.

"Please tell me you see Urata's ghost and I'm not just hallucinating."

"Yep~ they can."

Shima just stared in disbelief as he looked back and forth between the three. Soraru sighed as he began to speak.

"Long story short, you died in a fire, I reseted time and now you can see Urata."

"You also get an ability~"

"Eh?" The purple-haired just continued to stare at them in confusion.

"Did you feel like something was suddenly burning on you?" Sakata asked as Shima nodded.

"Yep, I was sleeping when I suddenly felt a burning pain on my chest, which woke me up."

"It's a tattoo~ meaning you get some kind of ability."

Shima began to understand most of it. He then looked at the green eyed brunette.

"Can you now explain why Urata's a ghost."

"So basically I'm suppose to be dead but Soraru wished for me to be brought back, and I was, but as a ghost."

"Once I got my ability, Urata was able to become human. Now he can switch between the two." Sakata added as the purple-haired nodded.

"You also get telepathy and can talk to the others with it."

"Wait, the others?"

"Yeah. Amatsuki, Nqrse, and Luz also have a tattoo." Soraru said as the purple-haired widened his eyes.

"So they all died at some point?" Shima was shocked at the fact that his friends had died and he never knew.

"Yep, though no one remembers the resets except me and Soraru."

"So you have to live with the memory of seeing them die huh. That must be tiring." Shima said as he looked at the raven-haired pitifully.

"As much as it scares me to say this, it doesn't bother me as much as before since I'm used to it now."

"What tattoo did Shima get~" Sakata asked curiously as he walked up to the purple-haired.

"It's a rose."

"I wanna see~"

"H-Hey! Sakata get off of me!" Shima exclaimed unamused as the redhead giggled.

"Sakata I think you should stop or someone might get jealous." Soraru said as he glanced at the green eyed brunette with a smirk.

Sakata looked at the short brunette, who was glaring at the two in annoyance. The redhead complied as he let go of Shima. Urata then pinched the redhead's cheek as he glared at him.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing?!"

"I-I'm s-sowwy, I was cuwious."

Shima looked at the two in amusement, then turned to look at the raven-haired for an explanation. Soraru smirked as he gave Urata a side glance.

"This shortie likes the idiot."

"Oi!"
"Hey!"

The two males stopped their small bickering as they glared at the raven-haired. Soraru just rolled his eyes at their weak glares while Shima chuckled.

"Is that so~"

"If you value your life Shima, I suggest you stop."

"Are you really capable of hurting your friends~"

"Wanna try me?"

"Urata cut it out." Soraru said in exasperation, the green eyed brunette crossed his arms.

"Oh, Shima you're awake?" Sorato asked, noticing the purple-haired. He had returned to the room with a teacher.

"What does it look like bastard." Urata grumbled as he glared at the short raven-haired.

"Yeah." Shima replied lazily.

Urata just sulked at the other shorter male's presence, it was better when he wasn't here. Sakata just nervously smiled as he looked at his annoyed boyfriend. The redhead noticed that Sorato was looking at him and quickly moved his gaze towards something else. Sorato had an expressionless face as he walked to the desk.

"Here are the matches." Sorato said as he handed the teacher the box.

"Thanks for informing me about them." The teacher said as they walked away.

"I was the one that found them." Urata muttered, Soraru just signed at the short brunette's constant complaining.

"We get it, you hate Sorato because he likes Sakata. Just get over it."

Urata glared at the raven-haired, Soraru returned the gaze with an unamused expression. Sakata felt awkward staying and decided to leave the room to walk a bit.

"I'll be back in a while, I want some fresh air."

"I can go with—"

Sorato felt himself get pushed back, he looked around in confusion. Urata was glaring at him before looking at Soraru.

"I'll be with the idiot. See ya."

"Hey!"

Soraru and Shima watched the two leave before turning to look at the short raven-haired. Sorato frowned as he watched the redhead leave. The male then glanced at the two still in the room.

"So why did you wake up Shima?"

"I just had a bad dream..." Shima said as he cringed at the terrible lie.

"Everyone seems to be having bad dreams; me, you and Sakata." Sorato said.

The two males just stared at him not knowing what to say. Sorato was silent for a while before smiling as he walked past them.

"Well I'm tired, night guys." Sorato said as he entered his room and closed the door.

"We should probably go to sleep too since we're waking up early to leave." Soraru said as the purple-haired nodded.

"Night Soraru." Shima waved goodbye as he walked back to his room.

Soraru returned the gesture before heading to his room. The raven-haired was still wondering about the previous reset. Someone wanted to burn down the hotel. Soraru was just glad that Urata found the cause and now it wasn't a problem. The raven-haired sighed as he still had questions surrounding the previous reset. He decided to push them in the back of his mind and think about them later. Only three of them left.
