Prologue Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3Chapter 4 Chapter 5 ~Hurry~
I walked to school alone today. On my insistence, Mirai skipped school. I went straight to the record room and began look into Miura-sensei.
Miura sensei was a student of our school. So I knew I would find some detail about him in the record room.
I was impressed. Miura-Sensei took psychology in Todai. I knew no matter how much I worked hard, I would never make to Todai of all the places.
“Nice!” I smiled when something caught my attention.
On the corner was a newspaper article which accused Miura-Sensei of performing assault on a fellow student. The girl had ended up pregnant and she committed suicide.
I felt shocked at the news. On the next page there was an article about him receiving therapies and treatments for attacking another student.
I panicked as he heard a sound. I quickly put the file away and picked up some other.
“Oi! Yama-Chan, Where is Shida-Chan?” Miura sensei asked.
“Eh? Why do you know I am here sensei?” I asked politely.
“You are often here now-a-days. Besides record oba-san said I would find you here. What are you looking for?” The question sounded a bit panicked.
“I was looking for more information on Takei Emi-San.” I replied.
Miura-Sensei’s face changed. His lips formed a snarl. His eyes flared. Suddenly this scary face was replaced by a face of concern.
He was extremely fishy and I could see it.
“Why are you looking up stuff on her? I told you, It’s not use.” He sounded frantic.
“I was curious. She seemed like a nice girl when I talked about her to the teachers and Oba-san. I was wondering like would just disappear like that.” I replied.
“Don’t do unnecessary things Yamada! Everyone who has gone looking for her has disappeared.” He shouted at me.
“So isn’t that suspicious? It’s obvious that someone harmed her!” I replied back with equal gusto.
“You are no one of hers! Stop meddling in things not related to you!” He barked and walked away.
I stood surprised. Was that threat?
~That night~
“Eh.... Everyone was right, coming to see Tokyo tower on a date makes it more beautiful.” Mirai breathed as we sat on a bench facing Tokyo tower.
“But then, we have been here before.” I teased her.
“But that time we not sure of each other’s feelings, so it does not count.” Mirai smiled.
It had been a while since I saw her bright smile. I wanted her and Takei-San to relax a bit so; I took her on a date.
I could not feel the spirit’s presence. I was not sure how to tell Mirai about Miura-Sensei’s behavior when I was found looking for information on him.
“Let’s head back home. It’s getting late.” I stretched my legs and got up.
“Ryo-Kun.” Mirai suddenly held my arm making me turn to her
Next thing I knew was that he lips touched mine. I was shocked but I responded immediately. I wrapped my arms around her as we kissed.
We pulled away slowly. Her cheeks were tainted pink. A soft smile was her lips. She hugged my arms and we started to walk back.
As we were nearing her home, I felt I was being followed. I looked back and noticed a few masked men following us.
I suddenly caught hold of Mirai’s arms and walked faster.
“Ryo-Kun? What’s wrong?” I heard Mirai speak with concern.
“I had a small scene with Miura-Sensei today. He warned me not to meddle in Takei-San’s case but I refused to back away, so I think... He threatened me.” I replied.
Suddenly they were right in front of us. Mirai screamed as one of the men grabbed her and I got punched.
“Mirai! Let go of me!” I hit the nearest man and tried to run towards Mirai.
Mirai was struggling against another man. He was leering at her. His hand moved fast and suddenly tore her sleeve. He bent his head towards her neck.
“I said Leave her alone!” I yelled and pushed him out of the way.
I was about to pull Mirai away when another man grabbed me and pushed me into the ground. I could feel the blood coming out of my mouth.
He then took out a knife and rushed at Mirai. I quickly pushed her out of the way. The knife scraped my side.
“RYO-KUN!!!” Mirai’s scared voice somehow gave me energy to grab her and we ran.
The men followed us. I heard a gunshot. I swore. They were shooting us. I felt a hot metal scrape my foot. I winced. I realized I had been shot but lucky the bullet whizzed by and did not get into me.
Luckily for us, we ran into a police officer who immediately alerted his comrades and some of the men were caught by the police.
I hugged Mirai who sobbed in my arms. We were taken to the hospital. I was glad Mirai was not hurt. My wounds were tended and we went back home.
We managed to avoid unnecessary questionnaire from my parents and we went to me room. On Mirai’s insistence she tended to my wounds again.
This time she demanded what happened between me and Miura-sensei. I had no choice but to tell her what had happened.
“Ryo-Kun... I am so sorry.” She whispered.
I was shocked. Why was she apologizing.
“It’s my fault. Had I not got possessed, this all would not have happened... I am sorry.” Tears rolled down her face.
I cupped her face and looked at her gently.
“Mirai, It is not your fault. This must our fate that we help poor Takei-San who has been in pain. It is time we reveal Miura-Sensei’s true face. We will get through this somehow.” I said gently.
Mirai nodded. I kissed her. Her response somehow sparked some kind of desire in me because I pulled her more close and deepened the kiss.
She whimpered. I let my hands travel through her body. I did not why I wanted to do this but I just wanted her to be with me.
I broke the kiss and nuzzled her neck. She hugged me tightly. I kissed her neck when...
“What do you think you both are doing when I am still residing in her body?” A cold yet amused voice asked me.
I quickly pulled my self away from Mirai blushing. Mirai face was sullen and cold. Takei-San looked truly irritated with me.
“I thought you said you would protect her from your unhealthy advances.” Takei-San smirked.
“I mean it but now it just happened... I mean... I just wanted her near me...” I stammered.
“It’s okay if you want to sleep with her.” She replied back.
“EHHH? It’s not like that!!!” I said shocked.
“Just be careful, you don’t want to be parents when you have barely graduated high school.”
I blushed deeply. Takei-San had a point. What did I do that for?
“I heard about what Miura said to you. It is no doubt he attacked you. I think the director must set the men upon you because... He has such connections.” Takei-san said.
“I will confront him.” I said with determination.
~Next day~
After class, I and Mirai went to the teacher’s lounge. Miura-Sensei sat on his table checking some tests. W called out to him.
“What can I do for you both?” He asked.
I could feel Takei-San take control of Mirai’s body. Her temper radiated in the atmosphere.
“Sensei, Why did you send those men to attack me?” I asked.
He looked at me surprised and smiled nervously. I knew he would try to deny.
“The police caught them and the number they gave corresponded with your house number. Why are you stopping us from investigating Takei-San?” I asked crudely.
“You must be mistaken. I did not do anything like that. Besides, I was never home yesterday. You ask anyone. Now please stop disturbing me.” He said rudely and shut the door at us.
Mirai and I walked back disappointed. Suddenly Mirai picked up a big stone and ran in another direction. I ran after her. She had run behind the director. I quickly caught her and threw the stone away from her hand.
Luckily, the director did not see us and he walked away.
“What were you doing!” I hissed.
“I want to kill him! I want to kill him!” Takei-San screamed.
“You will make poor Mirai a murderer! We are already doing our best! Stop it.” I snarled.
Suddenly she broke down and I hugged. I felt her slip away. Mirai’s worried face met my eyes. We both knew we had to hurry.
