Chapter 9🖤
After waking up in the night and not being able to sleep, I decided to do something with Nanami since he is one of the other people I trust and like besides Satoru.
,,Is something bothering you?", Nanami asks and I look up at him. He was staring straight ahead, his profile like granite. Oh, if you knew. I take the safer option and shake my head:,,No..." He looks down, his expression unreadable:,,(Y/N), I know when something is bothering you. What is it?"
My heart skips a beat and he comes to an halt. I stop next to him and swallow, being unsure of how to tell him what has been bothering me. Will he brush it off just like Satoru did? I sigh. He is always so persistent. I tell him about the encounter with that curse last time and how I fear that he will hurt someone.
After I finish, Nanami nods and sighs:,,I have a similar problem... There is another curse I have to exorcise and it's not easy..." An ,,Oh." is all I managed to say, not knowing how I should respond. Nanami chuckles slightly, making my heart skip a beat again.
I smile and watch as he puts his glasses down:,,I have to go now, I'm sorry. It was nice spending time with you. If that curse appears once again, don't hesitate to call me. I'll be there." ,,Thanks, Nanami...", I smile more, feeling safe and relieved that at least Nanami was there for me.
,,You're welcome... Bye!", he smiles and waves his hand as he turns around and starts walking away. ,,Bye...", I whisper and watch him walk away. After he disappears from my eyesight, I turn my gaze away, my eyes landing on a man standing a few feet away.
My eyes widen. Tiny sparks ignite all over my body and my heart starts to flutter in a wild rhythm. The man with the black and stringly hair that is put into two ponytails stares at me, his eyes dark as the midnight sky. I freeze when he starts to walk towards me.
I take a step back and another, continuing until my back touches a hard surface. I look behind in surprise and look at the wall of a building. When I look back at the man, he is standing right in front of me. Heat creeps up my cheeks. I shouldn't feel this... This way... He is danger...
,,Calm down, I didn't come to harm you...", he says, his voice softer than last time. My body stiffens more when he moves closer, his fingers tracing circles on my shoulder. Push him off. I grit my teeth. Yes, right. He is dangerous.
I put my hands on his chest and want to push him away but he is quicker and grabs my wrists, pinning them above my head. A gasp escapes my lips. ,,Why are you trying to escape? I don't plan on hurting you..", he says calmly and cups my cheek with his other hand.
,,Stop... Stop touching me!", no matter how my body responded to his touch, it wasn't right to listen to my feelings. He is an enemy so I'll have to eliminate him. I let cursed energy run through my body. This time I can't hesitate...
The man's expression hardens and he grits his teeth. But he lets go of me. I raise my eyebrow, being confused about why he listened to my words. ,,What is your name?", I ask after a while, my voice a little shaky.
,,My name?", he shrugs his shoulders, ,,Just call me Choso.." I nod and whisper his name:,,Choso.." ,,Mhm... Listen... You.. You are in danger so please be careful", Choso says and looks away. My eyes widen slightly. What?
,,Why am I in danger?", I ask a little panicked. ,,I can't say that. Just be careful, okay?", he asks and looks up at me. ,,Okay?", I sigh and there is silence for a while. Why is he so kind this time? And why is he warning me? I thought he was the danger I should be afraid of.
I clear my throat, breaking the awkward silence:,,Thanks. I'll be... Careful." He just nods and looks away as if he was embarrassed. ,,Uh.. Okay... Bye...", I try to walk past him but he blocks my way with his arm. I look to my side, looking him directly into his eyes.
His expression is unreadable but he seems to struggle with his feelings and thoughts. He puts his arm down eventually and I continue walking, trying to shake off the awkward feeling. He is so weird.. And confusing... Jeez. What should I do now? Now that I know that he most likely isn't a danger to me and the others. Who did he wanted to warn me about? Is someone else trying to kill me and the others?
