Chapter 12: Clues: Last Part + Memories of unknown

I must finish this, like what I said to, Aubie and Miki they shouldn't explain everything to Joie what happened to her, it's for her own safety, specially her aura awhile ago, it's almost dark black, and black aura's are dangerous, specially in her case. She's almost having a crisis inside her, that even us can't cracked her open, there are spirits like that, and most of them really turns to be a malevolent ones.

Now, that her killer is in the house itself, even though we're anomalies, that he/she can't detect, I must say this one is very intuitive around it's surroundings, specially Joie, made something she's not even aware of. Did she marked the killer or the killer felt her? Either way, my job is to investigate and find more clues, and good thing I didn't do the hand-in-hand contact with her, and she might suck all of my energy forces. I walked around at the areas here at the upstairs, I can feel the killer already, but like I said it cannot see me, but it's aware. "Yuma!" someone's voice and it's also a woman's voice, and they're upstairs, I can walk freely around and not be totally suspicious, like I said, the killer can't see me, but I must stay away from it.

"Let's have dinner first okay? Then we'll talk about the hospital later..." One thing I'm sure of, there's two persons here so one of them must be the killer. "You're parents, are not around?" I walked and observe them two, they're at the kitchen eating some ramen, the owner lives simply that's for sure.

"How can they be around? They were almost busy to the other hospital." He says, and it was as Joie says 'the handsome devil', could he be the killer? "Yuma, did you tell them already?" the woman asks and she doesn't seem familiar to me, and she's kind of tall, wears a scrub suit, like she's just gotten of from her work, "Haru, can we talk about it later?" her name's Haru, and the guy seems suspicious already, because he's showing already an annoyance, but he hides it perfectly "Let me finish my Ramen first, and also... eat, because we'll have a long night, about that." I feel something dangerous is about to happen, this guy is totally dangerous! Not only that, he seems very clever about his ways to troll other people, talk about manipulation skills.

I walk back upstairs, to get more clues so far nothing has happened, they were still eating dinner. I came back to one of Joie's room, where she was locked up, the room is suspiciously clean, like nothing has ever happened, and that white frill dress? Was it there on purpose? Haru? I have to go look out for her, "His schemes, are very straight forward, but what is he going to do about her?" I'm torn between looking out for another potential victim he has, or find clues? These dilemma's is annoying, I have to think fast. I walk outside of the room and pass by another room 'Did I ever noticed this room before?', I need to check the room quickly to get some clues, I look around the room, it's really organized too, I checked his workspace area, and came across to a torn picture, it was him, and some friends but only one of the guy's picture is torn, "Who's this guy??" then I saw a black watch that made me touch unconsciously "This seems familiar..."

*white flash*

"I'm sorry... but I can't..." a loud thud happened, I look around it's very dark, and it's winter the snow is falling heavy, there are four guys at the sofa, empty cans was cluttered around the area, and a fireplace was the only one that was giving the light. I saw someone getting dragged, I followed him "Joie's killer, you've done this before?" he was walking upstairs, and it's still the same house that we've been to. "I can't let you go like this..." he says, and his actions are very odd, and he is not taking the body to the same room, the guy is barely conscious "It's the same watch!" I followed him, and he's leading the body "an attic?" he was really struggling to drag the body, "I'm really sorry..... Keshi." my eyes widened, and I looked at the body at the corner of the attic. It's me, my head is bleeding like someone banged my head, the outfit... I looked at my sleeves and pants. It was the same hoodie that I was wearing now, and the same coat, the same pants and even the shoes are the same. except the bandages, that I'm wearing now, I feel light headed, then a sudden white flash happened again.

"The God, gave you already a judgement...." It's the boss's voice "You'll be a reaper from now on" and the bandage shows "So I'm tied here? and not even go to the after life? Isn't that unfair?! I just got here, and now, I'm a reaper all of a sudden?!" I screamed, at the boss... and that's the only memory I had, when I suddenly become a reaper. I grab my head "Why am I remembering this now?" and I'm back once again to the attic, "None of this make any sense, why did I see my body here?"

"Keshi.... why?" I look back at him, confuse as hell "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING MY NAME?!" I scream, my mind is confuse, I can't even explain what words to say, he broke down and touched my leg "Why can't you like me?! Why her?! Do you think, I'll let you back and go see her? Never!" he's fucking crazy, what's his issue, why does he like me?, he was breaking down and talking to my unconscious body "for 7 years of friendship, I liked you ever since! I know you can't like me back, I know that... but I cannot accept her! She cannot replace my moments with you." I'm really really confuse right now, what does that 'like' even mean. He caressed my face "that kiss... I gave you a while ago, you must know... that.. that's how I feel." His hand is trembling "You know... that I got anger issues, and once that I don't get what I want, I became more possessive, and this is her fault for taking you away from, me.. I tried to deal with her, I try my hardest, but I just can't!" He stood up and smash and bash some things in the attic.

Who's Her? then I saw another flashback, "I'll pick you up here at this bus stop later!" I smiled like it's the most happiest moment of then I saw a figure of a woman, she's wearing a floral dress "Don't worry about me, just text me once you're guys done, and don't get drunk, but if you need rescue, I'll pick you up too" she seems familiar, her voice also, she reminded me of someone, I pat her head, "If you're done with you're classes, wait me here at this bus stop" xxx University, she waved back.

"And I never came back for her?" and Yuma appeared again "What's with this guy?" I stand up and he was very anxious, he looked at my body again "If you wake up, and can't remember a thing. I'll be more happy" he says, and bites his nails "Please... wake up...." and I saw myself almost conscious, I grab my head "It's bleeding? Whe..where am i?" he looked at my direction and "Yuma?" He smiled happily "Thank goodness! You're alive!" and he's trembling "Wait... why.. are.. we here?" and he looks very relief but at the same time something is wrong with him "Hide and seek... since you loose you got bashed in the head accidently" he smiled "Ha? was that even necessary? Wai..."

"We did! We played! and now I found you! This is your consequence." He said very nervously "Yuma... you're acting weird again, and I'm not that drunk, to begin with... Can we go downstairs?" I said and he's very very suspicious "Yuma... if it's the attacks again, you can rely on me..." I've known him? and my body knows that shit's about to get down with him "Uh, wait a sec, let me call Ono." myself stood up, and Yuma is very weird but he's not doing anything, but my old self knows that something's wrong with him he secretly grab his phone and dialed 911.

He's smart enough that's good "Uh hey! Ono, did I wake you up? We're at..." he looked around "We're at the attic, can you come pick us up? My head is bleeding from the game too," myself glances to Yuma, and he's showing no remorse, and just standing there he was almost like a statue "How to get here? Bro! that's easy... you know my location right? That's why we have smartphones." he nervously laugh "Just go faster okay!, Okay, bye."

"Well, that's-", "You lied, I'm not dumb... you called 911" and he looks at me "Yuma, let's just go downstairs and..", "And what? Ha? drink my medicine? I'm perfectly sane bro, I'm not crazy like you are..", the ultimate mechanism my old self did is be calm "I know that, but something bothers me.." he smirked "Oh... be bothered, and give me attention!" he screamed, my head is still bleeding and just reacts from adrenaline rush. "I told you i liked you before, but you rejected me, and I understand that, it was fine... and then a girl just came by and talk to you, and now you're almost dating? That's the most annoying thing to do Keshi." me and myself are completely dumbfounded "Yuma... I'm sorry if I didn't reciprocate you're feeling.. It's just..." his eyes were furious "like I said I understand that part! but the one thing that annoys me is... at least get a hint! I'm also moving on!! and you can easily replace me, Keshi... i've been with you since high school! I know you can't like me, but I like you!"

"I'm just really sorry... I never think about you that way"

"Well you can! Don't fall for her and we're good as it is."

"You're mine."

A sudden light headedness came to me and all of it was blurry already.... and I look around..... I'm back where I was.

What the hell was that?? I left the room with a lot of confusion and question in me. Should I ask boss?

But... Haru, she needs to be saved! I walk downstairs, the ramen are still at the table but the two we're never found.

"I should not meddle with human's business, but she's really in a dangerous position" I look around the house hastily, and found her at the pool outside, and smoking I felt relief and "Haru." she look around saw Yuma "What are you doing?" offered her a white towel "What's this for?" she asks "Yuma?" it's that look again that no remorse look "You're scaring me." she puts down the towel and "I'm just-"

"You wanted know what happened to Joie right?" almost threatening her, like what he did to me at that time, I can't meddle with humans, but enough is enough Yuma.

You have to pay you're price.
