endless

While we were walking we saw someone standing in front of the school.

Wait...

isn't this...?

Daichi?

He was standing there more like he was expecting us for dinner.

We walked to encounter him.

I looked at Yami she had a very normal look on her face.

Yeah, she isn't the type to show expression at all.

"I was waiting for you guys."

He said with his sharp eyes smiling.

"Daichi how..?"

I couldn't understand a thing...

Why Daichi is here? makes no sense.

Even if he followed us why does he know about this place?

And since when has he followed us?

"Listen, Sato, your face is very easy to read I can understand that you are having so many questions deep in your mind"

"But!!"

He screamed and rose his finger pointing to the sky.

"There is no time for questions right Yami?"

"I suppose.."

"We have so many things to do and now I'm here, so you have no choice but to take me with you!"

"Get back."

"So cold!"

"I don't intend to drag you into very complicated things I have no power to explain."

And I walked towards the school.

"I got really worried about you guys..."

"Disappearing like this even you didn't call Yumi or me once..."

"You properly hold something similar to this?"

I slowly looked back to see Daichi holding a hand clock.

"This clock has a time zone of somewhere and I have no clue where."

He was there standing and the sun hitting his back made him shine.

"How...?"

I couldn't have any clue about what is happening, but something I was very sure of is the fact that I'm stepping another step toward the truth.

"I'm going with you. I'm sure I can be useful"

With all the questions surrounding me with a wave of thoughts, I remained silent.

"Do whatever you like."

I acted cool, but I was kind of nervous.

I didn't know what was behind this school or behind Daichi's clock.

But, I kept on saying a word to myself.

Pull yourself together.

We slowly opened the gate to enter.

While opening all I could see was total emptiness.

There was nothing...

Nothing was visible everything was black and dark.

I opened my eyes slowly to see myself in a classroom.

The air felt weird.

Almost like being surrounded by clouds.

My vision felt blurry.

Almost like I'm dreaming.

I tried to take off my glass and wipe it with my clothes.

"Nothing happens..."

I end up deciding to search around.

I left the classroom to reach the hall...

And...

It was such a long hallway...

There... an endless number of classrooms.

It was going and going...

I felt like it had zero ending.

"When did I end up here...?"

And a flashback of my memories with Dachi and Yami came to my mind.

The last thing we did was actually get into the school.

Oh, wait...

Where's my phone?

I took it outside my pocket and opened it.

"There's no connection..."

"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

I heard a sudden scream.

And without thinking I ran towards it.

Rather than running away.

Because I was very sure I knew this voice.

I reached a classroom out of these endless ones.

I was sure it was the one.

I entered to see Dachi hiding in the corner of the classroom.

"Wow. dude, you joking... for a second I thought that was Yami's scream..."

With this joke aside.

Daichi seemed like he was seriously scared.

I never saw him this way...

"Did it leave the room?"

"Tell me it did!"

What is he babbling about?

"The spi-dier you idoit!"

Wait why is he shouting at me....?

Not sure if the past me knew about this, but there is no mistake Daichi is afraid of spiders.

"Anyways, Sato what is this place?"

"Beats me... I have no clue as well..."

"hey, Daichi..."

He looked at me and gave a little "hm?"

"When at first I woke up from this place I had a tribble vision..."

"More like if I were in a fog.."

Then I continued...

"But, now my vision is so clear to the point where I'm doubting myself in the past."

"I didn't frankly feel that way..."

"My vision was very clear since I got here."

"So, either ways why are we here again?"

We started searching outside the classroom for clues.

And There was NOTHING.

absolute emptiness.

there was no ending or beginning.

"sob sob"

"Did you hear that?"

Daichi asked after hearing someone crying.

Then we head straight to it.

To end up in one of the countless classrooms.

It was dark.

We entered looking around to find out it was coming from a locker.

Opening it slowly...

It was a little girl.

She was hiding in the locker.

Dachi was very good with kids, so he started comforting her.

But...

For some reason, she doesn't look comfortable with him.

And now she is sticking by me.

"That's odd"

I said.

Then Dachi came a little closer and said.

"Don't you think there is something odder...?"

"What do you mean?"

"We are dealing with a few problems here..."

"The first is obviously having no way to find any clue about this place."

"The second is why there is a lost little girl in the place?"

Wait...

I started freaking out when a flashback conversion came to my mind...

"For the first in my whole career to miss Yamioureta, I'm going to trust someone with her."

"Please take miss Yamioureta with you."

Then I said, "WHERE IS YAMI?"
