Part 1 - Harassment
Hikaru, you took so long, what happened?
-Nothing, I finally ended up talking to Emi, she's been discouraged since our mother.
Sweet liar, this time I'll accept your lie because you're doing it for me.
-It's true, we haven't talked about it, I was really surprised that she could see me, but at least....
I couldn't help but grimace when Akari talked about that person, she noticed it.
-Sorry I didn't think about what I was saying, but Hikaru how are you feeling, at least I want to know that.
-Confused, I haven't had such a headache since I saw your body, angry about how I see Emi, scared, I have a mixture of things that I don't know how to get them out.... Akari, what was she like?
Before answering me, she made me sit next to her, she rested her head on my chest, I always liked these gestures, even if I couldn't feel her, I liked them.
-I'm sorry you're not going to like what I'm going to say, but she looked a lot like Emi, except for one thing, her nose, you inherited that, she also had a white tuft in her blonde hair... she wore glasses as well.
I couldn't tell her her cute nose, it was something I liked about her face, but telling her would probably hurt.
-I was afraid that you would answer me that she looks like Emi, but I never thought that she inherited something from her, it doesn't really matter, I'm only interested in Emi's well being, I don't want to meet her again, but I feel that we just delayed something inevitable.
-Hikaru you can lie to me, but you can't lie to you, of course, it does matter, I know you've tried not to think about her and act like it's not important, but I know you're upset inside, I know you touch your lip to calm down, and in these 3 days I've seen you do it constantly.
-Akari, we've already reached the point of the relationship where you know I'm lying just by looking at me, honestly I'm lucky to have you... but you're right it did affect me, even so, I prefer not to think about it, pretending that nothing happened, until the meeting happens, which I hope never comes, do you think if we change the subject, I don't want to get depressed?
-My fool, yes of course, besides I have a surprise, I made it.
I kept thinking about what Akari told me, I didn't know what she meant, until she showed it to me, she got up to my desk and grabbed a pencil, the first time, she didn't drop it, time passed and it was still in her hand.
-Akari, it's great, how come you didn't tell me before, you can finally control how you touch objects.
-I wanted to surprise you, not that I can touch you yet, but at least I can do something now, although when they are objects bigger than a football I keep going through them, but something is something, although the most uncomfortable thing is that I don't feel like I have anything in my hand, when I stopped thinking about it, it became easier and easier to manipulate a pencil.
I had an idea, I went to my desk, it was hard to find what I wanted, I opened the drawer of the chest of drawers, and in the end I found it on... the book that Akari had been reading that day in the library that the president of the council gave me, it's true Emi when she tidied my room told me that she left the things that she didn't know where to leave in this drawer, I had forgotten about it.
-Akari with everything that happened to us, I had forgotten this, the day I was looking for you, when you happened, I went to look for you in the library, there the president Makoto asked me to give you this book.
It was a self-help book for when you were bullied.
-Besides Akimoto, tell me who was bullying you?
Akari didn't know how to answer me, in fact, she was very uncomfortable, even more so than when we were arguing.
-Akimoto used to ask her boyfriends or some of her exes to bother me or treat me badly, I would have preferred that you never knew about this.
-Silly, I'm your boyfriend, sooner or later I was going to find out, that bitch is going to pay dearly, I'm already sick of her.
-Akari you forget that I am friends with the most feared man in our school.... I'm talking about Marcus, even if it's hard to believe Marcus is scared, he has sent more than one bully to the hospital, consider that I managed to beat a vampire, have more faith that I'll be fine, besides now you can throw things to those who want to hurt me.
In a way I managed to reassure him with what I said, I went back to sit next to her and I gave her what I really wanted to give her, an old mobile phone of mine.
-With that now you will be able to communicate with the others, especially with Emi, although we will have to buy a phone chip, I will ask Emi to buy one.
She was happy, it was funny to me because she tried not to show it, but it was almost like seeing a little girl.
Part 2 - Nightmares
We had gone to sleep with Akari, after a pretty long day, just thinking that in just one day I had to solve my problems with Asuna, the misunderstanding of the photo, the truth of Akari's bet, the conversation with Emi, even Akari's achievement made me feel exhausted... Once in bed I did my favourite routine in this last time, I always stayed looking at Akari's face for a while without saying anything to her, when I couldn't sleep, I started to count the freckles on her face, obviously I never told her, knowing how embarrassing she is she might get upset, but she didn't mind me looking at her, in fact, she did the same with a smile on her face.
I would stay like that until my eyes started to get heavy, and in the end I would fall asleep.
It was weird, but I always like that Hikaru before sleeping was watching me, I don't know why but it makes me happy, at least now that I can grab objects maybe I can be a little more useful to defend him while we look for my body, how strange it was the first time since I became a wraith to feel tired, I think I'd better stay in bed with Hikaru tonight, I can train another day... how strange my eyes are very heavy... I see Hikaru blurry...
Everything was dark, very quiet until I heard a sound of something cutting the wind, at that moment I saw how flash illuminated my body, I felt a pain in my hand..... my finger because I don't have my finger, again now I saw a hand with a white glove with a strange knife, now they stabbed my arm, instead of pain, I felt like a current hit my body, without stopping they stabbed me now in my stomach, again that current I felt that separated me from my body, whoever stabbed me did it repeatedly, the current was horrible, I was horrified, I was very scared, I wanted it to stop, I was crying.
-Stop, I beg you.
The guy came towards me, with a voice that sounded like a monster's, the only thing I could see was a red sclera eye (white part of the eye) with a black iris and a dilated red pupil.
I screamed so loud that even my own ears hurt, I didn't want any more pain.
I heard my name every time they kept stabbing me.
Akari had me against the wall, a strong wind was emanating from it, around her I saw blue shocks.
-Akari, stop, you're having a nightmare.
My ears hurt, it was as if needles were being buried in them, Akari's scream was physically painful.
With all my strength I went towards her, the wind was hitting me so hard that it made my ribs ache.
With all my strength I grabbed Akari by the waist, as soon as I touched her everything stopped.
-Akari honey, you were dreaming.
She finally opened her eyes and was shivering with fear.
-Hikaru, are you okay, what was that scream?
Emi had come into my room in the middle of the night very worried.
-Emi was Akari, but it's alright now... Did you hear Akari too?
-It was Akari?...Yeah I guess...I also see her silhouette under the sheets, Hikaru are you hugging her?
I didn't know what was going on, until now the only thing I had achieved with Akari was a couple of times we could touch each other, in fact, this was the first time I had her so long in my arms since she was separated from her body, now Emi heard her, and she even tells me that she can see her silhouette thanks to the sheets.
-Hikaru, I'm scared, I'm so scared, he wants to hurt me.
-Akari, tell me who wants to hurt you?
-The man with red eyes, don't let him come near me, he did this to me.
Akari don't worry, you're in my arms now, don't worry.... Emi came towards us, don't worry, neither of us will let them come near you.
It was obvious that Emi was still listening to her, she tried to caress her, but she couldn't touch her like I was doing.
-Emi, can you see her?
-No, I can only see her silhouette through the sheets, from her hips to her legs, the rest nothing, but I hear her voice.
