The guys were on the roof during lunch. They were talking with one another about pointless stuff. Sakata and Shima were relieved that their teacher pushed the due date for the project to until next week.

"You guys wouldn't be so stressed out about it if you just did it earlier." Urata stated as he gave them a disappointed look.

"Urata, you're saying that as if we'd know any better." Shima replied as the green eyed brunette sighed.

"Of course you guys would leave it last minute."

"But now we have more time to do it." Sakata said as he smiled at the short brunette.

"Or leave it for last minute again."

Sakata sheepishly smiled and looked away from Urata's judging gaze. The redhead then looked at the raven-haired that was eating. Sakata noticed that Soraru seemed more anxious than usual.

"Are you okay Soraru?" Sakata whispered to the raven-haired.

"I'm fine." Soraru replied as he gave the redhead a small smile.

Sakata grew worried, the raven-haired had been acting nervous ever since they finally saw the blank page. The redhead then gave Soraru a short, quick hug. The raven-haired looked at the redhead in confusion as Sakata sheepishly laughed.

"It looked like you needed a hug or something."

"Thanks." Soraru ruffled the redhead's hair, much to Sakata's annoyance.

"But you can always ask Mafu~"

"Urata is starting to influence you." Soraru said as he glared at the redhead's teasing look.

"Www maybe~"

The raven-haired just sighed, he was just worried about the uneasy feeling in his stomach. It had been like that for weeks every since his nightmare.

Urata looked at the two and saw Sakata and Soraru talk with each other. The short brunette was curious, not to mention that Soraru seems to be watching Sakata more often now. The green eyed brunette shook his head to get rid of the thoughts that were threatening to occur in his mind.

"So what are we doing today?" Amatsuki asked the guys, who were pondering about it.

"We can just walk around the town and maybe go to Mafu's house for a while." Kashitaro suggested as the light haired male nodded his head.

"That sounds great~ after all we don't have school tomorrow so we can stay up as late as we can."

"I'm not letting you pass out and sleepover in my house." Mafu said as Luz giggled at the albino's unamused expression.

"So that's our plan?" Sorato said as the others nodded.

The short raven-haired glanced at the albino, who seemed a bit anxious around him. He just chuckled as he looked at the ten guys. They sure do care about each other, judging by how they always get worried. Sorato smiled to himself as he chatted with the others for the duration of lunch.

Soraru still couldn't seem to get rid of whatever anxious feeling he had. The raven-haired could only hide his slight fear from the others and try not to think about it for the rest of the school day.

The guys were waiting at the gates for the rest to arrive. Soraru was chatting with Luz and Nqrse while Senra was talking with Shima. The blonde then noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

Mafu was talking with Urata, the two were standing by the edge of the sidewalk, but not close enough for them to get fall into the road.

Senra widened his eyes as he saw the redhead's arm slowly move towards the albino. The blonde grabbed Sakata's other arm and pulled him away quickly. A car passed by as the blonde sighed in relief.

"Sakata!" Senra shouted quietly so only the mentioned male could hear him.

Sakata snapped out of a dazed state as he blinked his eyes. He looked at the blonde, who was still grabbing his arm, in confusion. Sakata then noticed that he was suddenly close to the albino when he was originally standing by the gates.

He widened his eyes as he looked at his hands. Sakata hang his head low, not wanting to look at whatever expression was on Senra's face.

"Eh? Sakata are you okay?" Mafu asked as he and the green eyed brunette noticed the redhead's sudden presence.

"I-I'm fine!" Sakata replied too quickly, Senra just shook his head at the redhead's stuttering response.

"Are you sure?" Mafu asked in concern as the redhead simply nodded his head, a bit too quickly again.

"Why are you grabbing onto his arm?" Urata questioned the blonde, who realized that and let go of Sakata's arm.

"This idiot almost fell down." Senra lied as he gave the redhead a teasing smile.

"Hey!" Sakata shouted in annoyance at being called an idiot.

The blonde rolled his eyes at the redhead's weak protest before going back to where the purple-haired, who was confused at his sudden departure, was and began to talk to him again.

The blonde quickly glanced back at the redhead that was now happily talking to Urata and Mafu. He was being controlled again. Senra then looked at the raven-haired, who had seen the whole thing. Both of them gave each other worried looks.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Similar things have been happening as the weeks went on by. It seemed like Sakata would always go into a dazed state and do things against his will. It had been happening more frequently than usual, which concerned both the raven-haired and blonde.

At one point, the guys were at the albino's house to hang around. The guys had wanted some snacks so the albino went into his kitchen with four of them to help him look for any snacks he had around.

Soraru saw that the redhead was reaching for a knife that was on the counter. The raven-haired quickly reacted and stopped Sakata from doing whatever he was planning on doing. The redhead came back to his senses and quickly dropped the knife on the counter. The sound of it falling down alerted the others as they turned their head to look at the two.

"Eh? Sakata are you okay?! Did you hurt yourself?!" Amatsuki asked worriedly as the redhead shook his head.

"I just saw the knife on the counter and decided to put it away so no one could get hurt but I kinda...shocked myself with the knife." Sakata nervously laughed, hoping that they'd believe his weak lie.

"You really are an idiot. But I guess that's what Urata likes about you, it's kinda cute~" Sorato teasingly said as the redhead bashfully smiled.

The guys found the snacks and headed back to the living room to join the others. Soraru looked at the redhead, who was ashamed and scared of himself. Soraru didn't like seeing the guilty look on the redhead's face.

In all honesty, the raven-haired was getting sick and tired of waiting for Akimasa to tell him about everything. He knew that he probably sounded rude and impatient but he didn't want to see his friend start hating themselves for something he can't stop.

"We're going to visit Akimasa sensei tomorrow." Soraru said in a tone that stated there was no protest.

"E-Eh? Why?" Sakata looked at him in confusion.

"I don't want you to keep hating yourself for being controlled and almost trying to kill the others. Urata has been getting worried about you too, he's noticed that you haven't been as cheerful as usual."

Sakata stayed silent for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement. Soraru gave him a small smile, which made the redhead begin to smile back.

"Oi, are you guys coming yet?"

Urata's voice could be heard from the living room as the redhead replied with a bright smile on his face.

"We are~"

Sakata then left the kitchen to join the others. Soraru followed behind, he saw the albino that was beaming at him. The raven-haired smiled back, he always felt relaxed when Mafu was with him.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Soraru was walking with the redhead towards the therapy building. The others were curious on why the two were going there but Soraru simply stated that they wanted to check on the book page. The raven-haired told them that they didn't have to wait for them.

The two males made it to the building, Soraru knocked on the door but received no reply. A few moments of silence had passed by. The two males were confused at the sudden quietness of the building.

"Even if sensei doesn't respond, usually the other employees do." Sakata said as the raven-haired nodded.

Soraru opened the door to see that the building looked abandoned. The sense of uneasiness rose as the the two males walked in.

"Let's check out to see if he's in the other rooms." Soraru said as they walked around the therapy building.

The raven-haired made it to the older male's office, he noticed that the door was slightly open. Soraru walked in, only to see the room was dark and looked completely thrashed. He widened his eyes as he saw the older male lying on the floor. W-What—

Soraru then felt something sharp seem to cut his arm. The raven-haired quickly moved away to dodge the other attacks. Whoever was attacking him managed to pin him on the floor. Soraru tried to push them off while trying to not let the blade hit him.

"What an idiot, going off on your own just makes it easier y'know."

Soraru continued to struggle against them, he could only keep the blade away from his neck as he glared at the person. He couldn't really see their face because of the darkness, the only thing that stood out was the person's green eyes.

The raven-haired then noticed red snake-like eyes, he seemed to lose focus for a second. That small mistake allowed the blade to cut his neck a little. Soraru just stared at the tattoo before felt himself lose consciousness.

"Don't worry you'll get to see you friends again....."

"But not in the way you would like."

Mafu was sitting on the park bench with the others as they waited for Soraru and Sakata. It had been a while since Soraru left with Sakata, which worried the albino.

"Let's go check on them."

"But aren't they okay? If anything happens Soraru can just reset time." Urata said as the albino looked at him.

"But....he's with Sakata."

"Why are you so worried that he's alone with Sakata?" Shima questioned as the albino spoke without realizing.

"I'm worried that Sakata might—"

Mafu cut himself off once he realized what he was about to say. The albino looked away as the others stared at him in confusion.

"Sakata might what?" Nqrse asked as the albino refused to answer.

"Mafu?" Amatsuki asked in concern at his friend's silence.

"Mafu! What were you going to say?!" Urata shouted at the albino, who flinched.

"W-Wait Mafu....." Senra began to say before he trailed off.

The albino rubbed his arm nervously as he looked down. Keeping this a secret was pretty bad. Mafu took a deep breath as looked at the guys.

"I-I saw Sakata push Kashi off the roof and—"

"WHAT?!?" The guys all shouted, the blonde just stared at the albino with wide eyes. So does that mean that Mafu....

"Y-You're lying right?" Urata asked in disbelief as the albino shook his head.

"N-No, Sakata wouldn't..." Luz said, Kashitaro gave the albino a narrowed look.

"Why did you hide this from us?"

"I-I didn't really believe it when it happened, I got to the roof the moment you fell. Sakata had his arm held out in front of him so I thought that maybe he tried to grab you........but I noticed the wicked smile on his face."

"And you didn't tell us because?" Nqrse interrogated the albino, who turned his head to look the other way.

"I was hoping that maybe I saw it wrong and didn't want to jump to conclusions, after all Sakata and Urata did have a dispute during that time, so I didn't want to break anymore of our trust."

"Wait how do you know that?" Urata was confused on how the albino knew that in that reset Sakata began to lose trust in hin.

Mafu sighed and he looked at the green eyed brunette. Senra just stared at the albino, he could tell what he was going to say.

"I remember the resets."
