Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Kousei's POV

Miyazono Kaori...

When she died, i found out the truth. She lied about liking Watari. And that actually, she had feelings for me.

The time we spent together was fun. But the moment i saw her sick, i was worried sick and still doubted.

And when she died, my heart shattered into pieces.

I love her so much. I thought i could let her go.

But now, i know i can't.

Too much regret..

People say that the death will not return to live again. I know that much.

However, a person's wish that is beyond impossible can actually created a forbidden realm.

****

I don't know whether i am back in the past or just in another parallel world. But what i know, my wish, was granted by some black cat (demon?).

At first, i refused to believe. I was confused between reality and dream.

But not anymore. For the past one day, i've been pretending to not recognise Miyazono-san, and be amazed at her performance in order to not create a time paradox (If it was one).

Everything was how they used to be. As if, all of the things that has happen, were only just a dream or some called physic dream.

However, i'm not an idiot. I know how to differ reality and dream, even if it took some times for me to recognise one.

This one, it wasn't a past. So there's no time paradox that will happen.

This was no dream either.

Then, was it reality? Because i always keep in mind that the dead, will always stay dead.

I perked up my head at the sound of thumping. I was again, in the dark room.

"Hello again."

A black cat walked over to me. Its eyes were piercing.

"It's you. Were you the one who brought me here?" I asked, sounding ridiculous.

A sudden laughter came out from the cat. It tilted its head a little and i swear i could see it smiled.

"Ah, have you meet that girl? It seems like you've got what you wanted."

"What? But why?"

"Isn't it interesting to see people struggle? It is entertaining."

"I.. don't understand." I said as i clenched my fist.

"Aye aye.. You were brought to a similar but different world by me. In order for you to see that girl again, i had to move you to another world since she already died at yours."

I glared at the living being. "I didn't ask for this."

"It's bad to lie, Arima-kun." The voice became feint.

I was speechless. My mind was at blank. I didn't even know myself. Half of what the cat said was true and half was not. "I.."

"I can't stay longer. I'll give you 1 more question before i leave."

'1 question?'

"Then, what was the price you told me about?"

"Hmm.. i did expect that. But Arima-kun, shouldn't you be finding it out yourself?"

"I thought i could ask."

"But i didn't say i would answer."

I sweatdropped. This cat is a scumbag. "Arima-kun, lets talk again later. Bye for now." It said as its figure slowly faded and blended in the dark.

I woke up from my little nap, looking around. 'Argh, i slept after class didn't i?' I wondered when i did.

I got out of school and headed to the gate. The sun was already setting.

As soon as i got a little bit far from school, i came across her again.

I came to a halt and stared at her. How i longed to see her. 'Miyazono-san, at this moment, you intend to lie that you're waiting for Watari right?'

"Friend A." She pointed at me and smiled slyly.

She raised up her eyebrows when i didn't do any reactions. I just stared at her eyes.

As if searching for something, she put her hand on her forehead. "Anyway, where's Watari-kun? I want to scare him, so i'm lying in wait."

I remained silent as i watched her looking away. "Think he'll be here soon?" She asked again.

'Miyazono-san. Why is it that you lie?'

As she pretended to give up, i tried to reach my hand at her.

"Miyazono-san."
