My TWGOK fanfic - ChihiroxKeima

[linktriforce007]

Sorry if this has already been posted, I took a look and couldn't find anything but the Live Fanfic Thread. Well, here it is. I'd love to get commentary, good or bad.

Edit: Seeing as how there is a restriction to the number of characters, my oldest post after this will be edited to have the new chapters.

Crystal Clear Love

Chapter 1: Love and Beauty

Spoiler

I awoke to tears in my eyes, yet a bittersweet comfort. My dreams of late were very strange, and this one was no exception. In this dream, someone spoke to me in a bright light, too bright for me to see their figure. They spoke to me words, and a familiar phrase, yet at the same time, unfamiliar.
"Whenever you lose faith, I will come and save you," the voice spoke.
These past few days have been very tiresome, and the sleep that comes to me has been very minimal. I can't help but ponder on the thoughts of the words Katsuragi spoke to me. The words that would break any girl's heart. However, the look I saw in his eyes was not the eyes of someone who was telling the truth about deception... it was the eyes of someone in desperation. But...what was he desperate about? Katsuragi has always been one who follows his own beliefs, and has never once been desperate in his life. So...what has changed with him?
The tears rolled down my face every time I thought of him. The words he spoke to me...were they lies? Or was he telling the truth? Every moment I thought of these things, these memories... made me want to forget even more. I wanted to forget my feelings for him, but as much as I wanted to... they just wouldn't go away.
I heard the sound of drumsticks coming from my mobile phone, and picked it up. It was Yui. To be honest, I really didn't want to talk t anyone who knew Keima, but unfortunately, pretty much anyone who knew me knew him as well.
I picked up the phone to hear a light voice speaking. "Chihiro-san. I was worried about you today."
I spoke back. "Worried, why?"
"You didn't seem to be yourself? What's wrong?" Yui asked.
I laughed a bit and decided I had to lie. "Oh, you know. Just feeling a bit stressed as to tomorrow."
I could hear a smile coming out of her voice. "Yeah, I know what you mean. But is that really all?"
I responded in a daze, "Of course, do you think something else is wrong?"
She sounded saddened, and remained quiet. A bit later she responded saying, "He's worried about you, you know. He won't admit it, but he is."
I sat down on my bed, and laid my back against the wall. "Who's worried about me?"
Yui began to laugh and said, "Nobody at all. Forget I mentioned it!"
I was suddenly the suspicious one. "Are you sure?" I asked. "You sounded pretty certain before."
"Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry, I'm just a bit stressed as well, I suppose," she responded. "Well, I've got to go, it's late after all! Goodnight!"
To then I automatically replied, "Goodnight."
I looked at the time on my phone. It was 3 in the morning. Late? That's putting a bit mildly. Something must be bothering her as well...
The words from my dream came back to me. "Whenever you lose faith, I will come and save you." I'm losing faith right now... so... angel.. God... white prince, whoever you are...Where are you to save me? The words echoed throughout my mind, but with no response. Whoever spoke those words hadn't kept their promise to me, that was for certain.
I laid down in my bed to try to sleep for the next three hours, for what it'd be worth. I've been rejected numerous times, but I never had felt the uneasiness in my chest that wouldn't go away. The pain of not knowing what Katsuragi meant, or what he was going through... why he was seemingly desperate... tortures me. And it's because I love him.
I looked in the mirror opposite my bed, and saw someone looking back at me with a face similar to mine, but somehow changed a mild bit. She spoke to me and said, "You asked for someone to save you from your lack of faith? If you want me to, I can talk to you."
I looked at my reflection closely and said, "Who are you?"
She looked back at me, barely visible in the night and said, "I am Venus. The goddess of love and beauty."
"Venus? Love..and beauty?" I responded, shocked.
"Yes. For some strange reason, I was sent from Heaven. I have been resting in your body, waiting for you to call for my assistance," she responded.
"Resting in my body? How is that even possible? I must be dreaming again! Yep! Just dreaming! I'll go to sleep right now, and wake up, and you'll be gone!" I laughed to myself.
"You can sleep if you like, but that won't get you any further in discovering the truth about why the boy I helped you confess to is acting strangely towards you," she responded.
I sat up, flipped the light switch on so I could see her clearly. I inspected her carefully, and noticed she indeed did look like me. I sat down in front of the mirror carefully, and positioned my hands beneath my head.
"What do you know about it?" I asked her.
She smiled back at me and said, "Bits and pieces. But to be honest, nothing really extravagant. But I know, as the goddess of love and beauty, that laying down and trying to rest when your mind is preoccupied on the one you love is not an efficient plan."
I looked at her, shocked. "What is it you want me to tell you?"
She looked away, then back at me. "You only have to answer one question."
I looked at her and nodded. "The question is...?"
She looked at me and said, "Do you still love him? Or have you given up on him?"
I nodded to myself and said, "I still love him...I always will."
She nodded back to me and stated, "Rest now, and I will show you the precious things about times before that you have since forgotten."
I shook my head at her. "If I forgot such things, weren't they meant to be forgotten? I don't want to judge him based on the past. The Katsuragi I love is the one that he is now, and always was before."
She smiled and said, "It appears that I've been paired up with someone interesting, and very wise when it comes to love. It is based on these thoughts that I never restored your memories prior to now."
I gave a confused look then smiled. "Why ask now then?"
She responded, "I wanted to hear the words from your lips personally."
I nodded and laid down in my bed, with a new friend who would never leave my side, quite literally.
Katsuragi was right. I really am special.
Wait. What...when...did he ever say that? It's as if I remember, but I don't remember at the same time..
I shrugged it off. Perhaps when I wake up, things won't be so confusing.
I closed my eyes, and let my body's desire for sleep overcome me.

Chapter 2: That Which Reflects

Spoiler

Arriving at school, I laid my head down on the desk. To say the least, these past six hours have been odd to say the least, and I'm starting to have delusions that my body is being inhabited by someone named Venus who talks to me through my own reflection. Whether or not this is a dream, I am unaware, because when I looked into the mirror after waking up this morning, no one responded. Perhaps the situation with Katsuragi has caused my mind to breach its limits, nearing the point of insanity, in which I am imagining myself having a multiple personality.
"Chihiro!" A voice came from behind me. It was Ayumi.
"Ayumi, what's wrong? You've been acting different these past two days!" I asked.
I turned around to look at her. "Oh, Ayumi. There's something that's going on, but it's not really that big of a deal."
"Is it about Katsuragi-kun?" she asked.
"Katsuragi...kun?" I put the emphasis on the -kun ending. "Did your relationship change?"
She turned her head away and said, "No! What kind of relationship would I have with that geek anyway?!"
I sighed and responded, "Ayumi. He told me he didn't love me, that he tricked me... You heard that, didn't you?"
She nodded at me slowly and said, "Yeah."
"Is that why you've been acting so strange lately? Because you've been worried about me?" I asked.
"To be honest, Chihiro... I don't know. Hearing him say those things to you, they...hurt me... a lot. I wanted you two to be happy together..." She responded slowly.
"She loves him, you know." A voice said.
"Who?" I asked. There was no response.
"What do you mean "who?" Chihiro?" Ayumi asked.
I looked at her and said, "Didn't you hear someone talking?"
She shook her head at me. "Just us two, really. Nobody else is talking to us..."
I shook my head. I must be going crazy. I'm hearing voices again.
"You're not crazy, Chihiro. Ayumi loves Katsuragi! That's why she uses the -kun ending, and why she has such vague answers! She loves him! As the Goddess of love and beauty, I'd know!" The voice spoke.
I was hearing a voice again, the voice of Venus, and apparently I was the only one who could hear it. This was odd, but at least I wouldn't be talking to myself back and forth.
"Ayumi...?" I called her name.
"Ayumi...do you have feelings for Katsuragi?" I decided I had to be straight to the point to confirm the suspicions that Venus had.
"Me...feelings for him? Don't be ridiculous!" She shouted.
"I... see..." I responded slowly. I had no reason to push further. There really wasn't any things that happened in the past that would cause Ayumi to love him.
Ayumi nodded, and moved back to her seat. She was holding something back. She barely met my eyes whenever I spoke to her, and whenever she did, she averted my gaze immediately. Something was wrong with her as well. She had a look of...desperation. Just like Katsuragi... what was causing these two to have the same feelings of desperation?
I looked over to Katsuragi's desk, and saw him sitting there, pretending to pay attention the lectures, but I noticed he was spacing out. He hadn't been playing his video games in a while, which certainly was enough to arouse suspicion.
My mind thought to the past, and all of a sudden, I seemed to recall the boat at the pier...something happening there. I believe the person in the white light was there in the past. It was weird that this strange person was being remembered at all. For all I knew, he was an angel. I can't really say I understand the importance of how the human mind works, but perhaps Venus might know.
"Venus..." I pulled the mirror out of my pocket and opened it to see her face. "My memory, what's happening to it?"
She shook her head at me, "I don't know. I haven't restored the memories of your past, but they seem to be unfolding anyways. It's as if your mind wants you to remember in order to please your curiosity. It is possible that in time, you will remember who they are."
"Do you know who they are? You are part of me, if it is as you say." I asked.
She shook her head again. "I really don't. It's strange, because I can see many things of your past, none of which I have revealed to you, per your request. But the one you're remembering, I have no knowledge of at all. It's as if that memory is meant for you, and only you."
"Is there anyone that can help us? Any Goddesses at all? Other ones?" I asked urgently.
"There were six others in the past, they were known as the Jupiter Sisters, I believe. But they're sealed away, and they've been that way for many millennia now," she responded.
"What were their names?" I asked.
"Diana, Mercury, Minerva, Mars, Apollo, and... Vulcan, I believe," she said.
"I see." I responded.
"Chihiro!" A voice from behind me said. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned around, smiling. It was Ayumi. Apparently she had stood up, and was talking louder than normal, to the point where even Katsuragi was looking at us.
"Talking to your reflection, Chihiro? Isn't that a bit odd?" She said while smiling.
I chuckled a bit and said, "Yeah, I'm feeling a bit strange these past days, and talking while seeing myself feels...calming, I suppose."
I was hesitant in my answer, but I hoped she believed me. She then spoke back, "Well, don't talk to it too much, or you might go crazy and think there's someone talking back." She gave me a slight smile and sat down. It was strange that she got out of her seat just to question me. Overall, I feel relieved that she didn't call me crazy or anything like that.
I heard more footsteps approaching me, and I felt a presence behind me that made me stand up straight.
"Tell me, Chihiro. Why are you talking to yourself?" The male voice said.
I turned around to see Katsuragi staring right at me.

Chapter 3: What We Remember

Spoiler

"Don't trust him," Venus said to me in my mind.
After taking me outside the classroom to the roof where I kissed him, Katsuragi stopped and turned towards me.
"There are things I need to talk to you about." He said.
"What is it, Katsuragi? What do you want?" I responded angrily.
"Seeing you talking to yourself makes me concerned for your sanity." He responded.
Putting Venus's words into consideration, I replied, "So, you're concerned for me, are you? How considerate of you, considering the last time we spoke."
His head fell down, as if he was feeling a great amount of regret, or possibly even be in despair.
"I...I didn't want you involved. It's for your own good!" He responded.
"And Ayumi can be involved? Is it because she's a runner?" I shouted at him.
"It's...it's not like that at all!" He responded.
"I understand that I'm not all that great. I'm not cute at first glance, and I don't shine like everyone else! I'm not like Kanon-chan! The real world has limits, is that what this is about?!" I shouted even louder.
These words however seemed familiar to me. I don't even know why I said these things... it seemed to be more rambling than anything...
I stuttered and walked away slowly saying the words, "I can't be involved....because I'll always be average..."
These words also seemed familiar to me, in a nostalgic way. And not that I've spoken them before, but this situation... it seemed...so familiar. Like a time that passed such a short while ago, while still being forgotten so easily.
"What are you doing, Chihiro? Why are you saying these things?" Venus said to me. "These emotions of yours shouldn't be coming out! Maintain your composure, Chihiro!"
I sighed, "Katsuragi, it's not that I don't want to believe you. It's that you and Ayumi have been awfully secretive ever since I visited you at your house when you were sick. I came to see you because I wanted you to hear the tune from before. But the truth is, Ayumi called me afterwards. She said she heard that I confessed to you through "whispers in the wind". But...she was there when I confessed, wasn't she?"
He nodded. "Yes, she was."
I looked at him with a glare. "I knew it. Why didn't you tell me? What are you both so desperate to hide that she'd hide it from her own best friend! And you went on a date with me knowing that it was a date! You knew it! You were desperate to hide something, and I saw Ayumi there after I left! In this exact same spot!"
He looked to see where I was standing.
I continued. "I love you, Katsuragi. I always will. But the fact is, Ayumi loves you too. And I can't stand that. I know she gave up her chance with you so that she could support me and still be my friend. But the fact is, you both can't be so desperate forever. Even people like you need someone to talk to. So please, Katsuragi. Stop being secretive, and talk!"
"I'm not hiding anything from you, Chihiro," he responded. "You're imagining things. I'm not desperate to hide anything from anyone."
"LIAR!" I screamed. "Why do you continue to lie?! WHAT BENEFIT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?! Are you some sort of God I have to bring a peace offering to?"
When I spoke the words of the offering to him, I realized that these words also sounded familiar. I wondered that if all these moments, all these tidbits of my realization were coming together.
Katsuragi sighed. "I know a few people who seem to talk to mirrors. They seem to think people are talking back to them. Ridiculous, if you ask me. Only people with some sort of multiple personality disorder, no...schizophrenia...would think that. And now you're talking to mirrors too. Tell me, Chihiro. Are you completely sane? What is it you see in the mirror? Is it yourself? Or is it someone else?"
Venus spoke to me and said, "Don't tell him. He seems to know about me, for some strange reason."
I nodded in agreement. "I see just me. That's all there is, right?"
He nodded. "I suppose so. Well, I was also told by said people seem to believe they're being targetted. But they needn't worry. If there really is someone crazy like that, they should know that whenever they lose faith, I will come and save them."
The last words he spoke acted like a sunrise in a veiled clouds. The man from the light...it was Katsuragi. And the place where I was at was the boat on the pier.. he spoke words to me about me not being average. He k-kissed me... I blushed at the thought and looked away. How could I have forgotten something as momentous as my first kiss?
Katsuragi acted weird when I told him two nights ago that if he were to kiss me, it would be my first kiss.. So, he...actually knew otherwise? I couldn't help but blush at the thought that I had forgotten, and he had remembered.
I punched Katsuragi in the stomach.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He screamed in pain.
I responded, "Revenge for not reminding me that...we kissed...before. Sorry...I forgot." The response was sort of shy, but I think it was good enough.
"Wait, you remembered?" He asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Yeah, I forgot before, but now I remembered. Sorry, I forgot." I walked off somewhat shyly, and somewhat happy that I remembered, but he was standing behind with his hand on his chin, lost deep in thought.
Venus said to me, "I didn't restore your memories.. to be honest, I had no idea such a thing even happened...?"
I smiled and said to her, "Well, I'm hardly average, so there's nothing to be worried about."
Her voice had a hint of happiness in it. "You certainly aren't. But there's nothing wrong with that.
I sat back down in my desk, just in time for attendance for English class to be taken. Katsuragi was late, and Kodama -sensei looked to be in a relatively good mood as he took attendance.
I was happy to remember some of the things I'd forgotten, but something then came to mind. If this memory of which I'd forgotten wasn't what Venus could've restored, then what memory was it? What had I forgotten that I didn't remember forgetting?

Chapter 4: Pleased To Meet You

Spoiler

After exiting the final class, I began the walk to the pier, in hopes that I could remember everything. I walked across the bridge that led to the old boat, which had seemingly been docked there for quite a while now, and had no intention of leaving.
The scenery was familiar, I recalled everything about this moment, my first....kiss. The texture was soft and moist, and even though it lasted only moments, the warmth that spread throughout my body lasted for much longer. The confidence I'd built was thanks to this moment, but I had to wonder what happened that made me lose that confidence. Perhaps that is what I've forgotten? Or maybe it's something else? I suppose it wouldn't be called "forgotten" if I could remember it right away.
I looked over the boat into the water, a reflective surface, and began to speak.
"Venus, what was it I forgot?" I asked.
"It's difficult to tell you..." she responded.
"Are you unable to tell me?" I asked.
"It's not so much that I can't tell you, it's that you requested me not to," she said.
"Well, I think that I should know now, so please tell me." I stated.
"I can tell you, but what your memory has been hiding has been hidden for good reason... if you remember this, there's no turning back. Are you okay with that?" She asked.
I nodded, "I am. I want to know."
She also responded with a nod, and I felt a weird sensation moving throughout my body. Slowly, piece by piece, all of the memories restored themselves like pieces of a puzzle, slowly coming back together.
Once everything had come back together, I dropped to my knees and began to cry.
"I'm sorry, Chihiro," she said in response to my tears.
"This...this...it can't be. How is this possible? Why would he do this? How many of them are there?"
She responded, "Sixteen, including yourself."
I replied, "But, why would he do this? Is he just trying to monopolize women or something? It's so cruel!"
"Perhaps you should ask him yourself?" She said.
That sounded like a good idea. Perhaps there was a reasonable explanation for this after all? I sure hope that there is, otherwise... I don't know what I'll do...
I picked up my mobile phone, and sent Katsuragi a message via it. It said, "We need to talk. Meet me outside the school library in two hours."
An hour and a half later, I arrived at the school library. I saw Katsuragi waiting there. I didn't know how long he'd been waiting for, seeing as how he'd gotten here at least half an hour early.
"Chihiro, what's so important that you had to gather me in such a place? I do have other things to do, you know," he said.
"Like seduce fifteen other girls? Oh wait, you only successfully seduced thirteen, I'm sorry," I responded.
"How...how do you know that?" He responded, clearly shocked.
"I remembered, obviously.." I replied.
"You remembered? Chihiro, this is a problem..." He said, saddened.
"So what? Are you going to erase my memories again? Make me think that none of this ever happened? That I never fell in love with you? Because that's what happened to the others, isn't it? The question you should be wondering is-"
"Why did you remember?" He interrupted.
"Mercury? Is that her name?" He asked.
"Mercury? Who is that?" I responded.
"Chihiro, Mercury is the name of one of the Jupiter Sisters!" Venus said to me.
"Tell me, Katsuragi. What does the term "Jupiter Sisters" mean to you?" I asked.
He fell silent. "Chihiro, you shouldn't be involved in this," he responded after a pause.
I walked away, and felt a soft pressure on my lips. Katsuragi's lips had met mine. But unlike before, this wasn't a warm feeling. It was cold, and clearly forced. There was no love in this kiss. It was merely a means of deception.
"Is...this what you did with the others, Katsuragi? How much do you need to toy with people's hearts until you're satisfied? AND WHY IS IT THAT EVEN AFTER ALL OF THIS, I STILL LOVE YOU!? WHY?!" I spoke with immense anger.
"Chihiro. You're right.. I have toyed with others hearts... but only because I knew they'd forget. They may have forgotten, but I never forgot any of them. But six of them remembered after a while..." He slowly explained.
"Kanon-chan and Ayumi..." I stated.
"Yeah, they're two of them." He nodded.
"Who else?" I asked.
"Shiomiya Shiori from 2-C, Goidō Yui and Kujyō Tsukiyo from 2-A, and my next door neighbor, who I met a long time ago." He replied in a very serious tone.
"Yui...remembers?" I asked.
Keima nodded without saying anything.
This was getting problematic. Yui had never really shown much interest in Katsuragi, but it's not like she showed that she didn't have interest. This conclusion was possible.
"So...what's so special about these people? What makes Ayumi and Yui any different from me?" I asked.
"It's not how they're different, really. It's how you're different. How is it you remember more than them? To be honest, what you remember couldn't possibly be known to you, because there is no way you could have seen me with all those girls." He stated.
The logic he brought up was very true. For some strange reason, I was remembering things that there's no way that I should've been able to remember, as I couldn't possibly have witnessed them first hand. This didn't make sense.
"There's only one way you could've remembered," he said. "Somehow, you must be integrating my memories with your own, to make it seem like you were there the entire time. But the question is...how did you do it? How did you remember?"
I saw hair drape forward in front of my eyes, and lengthen down to my shoulders. Katsuragi's response was shock, if not utter horror at seeing my body change right before his eyes.
"Who are you? You clearly aren't Chihiro." he asked.
Venus chuckled and stated, "You don't seem so surprised to meet me. My name is Venus, daughter of Saturn. I am the goddess of beauty and love. Pleased to meet you."

[Ryuutai]

As I already told you, even if I prefer that in the real story, Chihiro remains a "normal" girl without goddess, in the fanfiction world I can appreciate also different developments, so this development about Venus is interesting. This first chapter was very emotional and sweet, and I really hope that also the author will remember what Keima had promised Chihiro in her first arc..."Whenever you lose faith, I will come and save you." Maybe the most beautiful sentence in the manga, in my opinion.

I think your writing skills are very good, and since I'm a huge ChihiroxKeima fan, I can't wait for the next chapters!!! *__*

Thanks for your good job!!! ^___^

Chapter 5: Revelations

Spoiler

I saw my body being spoken through for the first time. Normally, Venus could only speak to me through my head, or through a reflective surface. However, this feeling was much different, as if I'd been sealed away inside my own body. It was a weird, but somehow bearable occurrence.
Katsuragi looked at me and said, "Venus, eh? The name doesn't ring any bells."
"Ah, it's a shame, really. I would think you'd know me best of all, being a seductive person like yourself," she responded.
"Ah, seduction. Of course. Now it all makes sense." he responded.
"What makes sense?" said Venus with a curious tone.
"If I recall my Roman mythology well enough, you are the goddess of love and beauty, but you forgot to mention that you're also the goddess of seduction."
She looked away and said, "So what? It wasn't something I'm particularly proud of, so I kept it a secret! What's so wrong with that?"
I was relatively sure she was blushing at this comment, but I had no way to be sure.
"Nothing at all, really. I can't say that I'd like to be associated with seduction either, when it's not something I'm fond of," he said.
I understood what he was saying. He was meeting Venus on even ground, despite the fact that she was a goddess. He was taking her defensive comments, and using them against her.
"Well, Katsuragi," she said. "I get that you don't want to be called seductive, but why do you enjoy doing it anyways? Why do you like pretending to care about girls when you really don't?"
Katsuragi sighed and breathed in a bit, preparing himself to speak so that he didn't make any mistakes.
"It's not like I want to. It's that I have to." he responded.
A shorter response than I'd expected, for sure. I expected a lengthy lecture, and I believe Venus did as well.
"You have to?! You have to seduce girls? What possibly could that mean? Was Chihiro another one of those things that you had to do?" she said.
He nodded and said, "Every time it happens, I really hate doing it. It's depressing.. Being forced to feign interest in girls."
She shook her head. "So, Chihiro is another girl you feigned interest in?"
He shook his head as well in response. "Chihiro...is different. She was the only one who I never had to pretend to fall in love with."
"If you feel this way, why don't you act upon such events?" she asked.
"It's simple, really. I don't want Chihiro involved in this mess," he said.
"She's already involved straight in the middle of it! Be a man, and take responsibility!" she said.
"Take responsibility? Chihiro stated that she was in love with me before I had to undergo this task. Now that this task is ongoing, you really think the best thing for me to do is get her more involved? Granted, you are correct, she is involved. But this is your fault, Venus, not mine. You're making things up as you go along, and are trying to pin the blame on me. Well, forget it!"
He began to walk away.
Gaining control of my body again, I said, "Katsuragi. Wait."
He stopped, but did not turn around. I ran in front of him to meet him face-to-face.
"What is it Chihiro? Didn't you get all your answers? I thought that was what this was about. Getting you the truth, wasn't it? Now that you know the truth, you can forget about me, and move on with your life," he said.
My eyes began to feel like tears were going to pour out, but they hadn't yet.
"Katsuragi, it's really not fair... why must you take this upon yourself? I'm trying to help you. Why is it that you can't see that I don't care about the other girls?"
He sighed, "I don't want you involved, Chihiro. It's not that I don't have feelings for you, it's just... the thought that you might get hurt makes me...uneasy."
My eyes didn't stop watering, but my face turned bright red.
"Katsuragi, is that words from your heart, or words from your mind?" I asked.
"Make of it as you will, Chihiro. And here.... if you ever need anything..." He pulled a bracelet out of his pocket. "If you ever are in danger.. cut this ribbon, and I'll be right by your side. I'll always be there to protect you, Chihiro."
I looked into his eyes, and the look of desperation had been replaced by sadness. He really did seem like he was trying to protect me. The thought that Katsuragi might have just confessed to me...felt seemingly odd, but it made my heart flutter for the first time in a long while. The happiness that came from realizing that he wasn't deceiving me was overflowing.
Katsuragi would always be there to protect me. And while we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, at least I knew he'd be looking out for me, and that whenever I needed to speak to him, he would no longer ignore me. And it was all thanks to the courage and willpower that Venus had given me.

Chapter 6: Confrontation

Spoiler

I woke up in my bed, and looked at my left wrist. I saw a bracelet there, and a smile came to my face. This was the first gift Keima had ever given to me, even though it was some sort of protective charm.
The sunlight soaked through the curtains, signifying that it was time to wake up. I woke up, and walked out the door. As I left, I was stopped as someone walked in front of me. It was Ayumi.
"Ayumi, what's up?" I asked.
"What's up is I have a tremendous headache from Katsuragi! He has some nerve showing up at my house, when I had no idea that he knew where I lived! How embarrassing!"
Katsuragi came to her house..? What was he doing there? Only one way to find out...
"Ayumi, what did he want?"
"He wanted to discretely deliver this to my doorstep, but I was close to the door, so I caught him before he left," she said.
She held up an envelope that was in her hand. She tossed it to me, and I caught it. I opened up the envelope to find a letter with a map inside. I examined both carefully, and looked at her strangely.
"A temple? No...a church? I thought all the churches in the city on this map had been destroyed?" I asked.
"Not this one. They tried to destroy it, but the entire building was made in such a fashion that nothing can destroy it," she responded.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"Because Katsuragi's been ignoring you lately, so I wanted you to go instead. I can't really bear to see him right now, and he needs to be a better boyfriend to you," she said as she smiled awkwardly.
It was obvious that the smile was fake. Perhaps Venus was right, and Ayumi was in love with him. She did kiss him, after all. In that case, I should return the map to her. My mind told me to hand the letter back, but my body was not responding to my will.
"Will you go in my place, Chihiro?" she asked.
This was just like Ayumi. She was very intrusive, but deep down, I knew she was doing this because I was her friend. It would be rude for me to deny her good will.
"Sure." I nodded.
She smiled and said, "Okay!"
I began to walk off, and turned around to see Ayumi again. She was still standing there, looking towards me, smiling. She really was a good friend, going through this for my sake.
"Ayumi?" I asked.
"Yes?" She responded.
"Thank you." I said.
"Yeah!" she said smiling and nodding.
I walked off, and didn't look back. I knew if I did look back, I might feel guilty as to what Ayumi was probably going through. It might have been selfish on my part, but the fact that Ayumi was doing something for me as a friend seemed like it would be cruel to deny.
About 20 minutes later, I arrived at the church. Katsuragi was sitting there, holding an envelope. We met eyes, and he immediately ran away.
"Katsuragi! Wait!" I called.
His speed seemed inhuman, but apparently he didn't want to speak to me.
A piece of paper had fallen to the ground, and I picked it up. I unfolded it, and began to read it.

I hate to say this, but many problems have come to pass recently. Although I know your love points may drop because of me saying this, I feel the need to be honest with you, and myself, at least once. As I sit here pondering upon whether or not things could've occurred differently, it is obvious that this is not a game, and the real doesn't not allow for me to use convenient options such as "Return to Previous Choice." Because this is so, it must be spoken, and the consequences of my actions will finally be dealt with accordingly. Not long ago, I believed that no girls were special in this world. There were none that phased me in the least, not Kanon, not Chihiro, and not you. The truth of the matter is that my biggest regret is hurting Chihiro. The things I said to her, to remove her from such a situation must have been truly devastating. Even though I arguably did this to protect her, I realize that deep down underneath it all, Chihiro is the only one that would follow me into the depths of hell, and never leave despite how filthy my actions may be. The truth is, my heart lies with Chihiro, and even though she is part of the real, it is only her that I can't help but think about, and although you may hate me for it, I must admit, that she is the only one of this reality who I truly do love. There are many clichés out there that make it seem like you were the one I should have wound up with, but in reality, it is the ironic truth that the one I was cruelest to, the one I denied..that was the one I fell for, and the girl of the real that I love. Had I not gotten to know Chihiro better, I may have thought she was strange through and through, but getting to know her, spending time with her made me happier than I've been in a very long time. I am sorry Ayumi...but this is just the way it is...
-Katsuragi Keima

What is this...? Was this really written by him? It seemed to have fallen out of his pocket, so it has to be his... And it was his handwriting as well..
A voice popped into my head, and began to speak. "What a bizarre turn of events, eh Chihiro?"
I nodded. "Indeed... but if Ayumi had seen this...she would be heartbroken!"
"So you don't plan on showing her?" Venus responded.
"Of course not! How could I?" I responded.
"Even though it was originally intended for her, you intend to pretend you never saw this? It's a confession no matter how you look at it! He does love you!" she returned.
"I don't want to see her hurt. She gave me this chance, and if I returned with such painful news, I don't think I could ever be able to talk with my best friend in the same way ever again!" I responded.
"So, even though you saw this, and know his feelings, you're going to pretend it never happened for the sake of your friend? That's really foolish of you."
"Is that so bad?!" I asked.
"Not at all. I just think you should try to consider your own feelings as well as everyone else's. Ayumi has been feeling pain for your sake for who knows how long? Would she really want you to suffer the same fate because of her?" She asked.
I nodded. I understood her point, but it wasn't like not doing anything would solve a problem.
"He feels this way, right?" I asked.
"Such a thing seems obvious, don't you think?"
I nodded. "Then if I don't do anything, but he confesses to me in person, wouldn't everything be alright?"
"I..suppose..." She said, then sighed. "Do as you will, it's your happiness I'm worried about, after all."
I smiled. "Thank you Venus."
It was settled. Even though I knew Katsuragi's feelings, for the sake of my best friend, and I would not act upon this knowledge. I would smile, and tell Ayumi the truth, that he ran away after seeing me. I would not tell her that there was a letter for her. She was my best friend, and I would not allow her to be hurt.

Chapter 7: Preparations

Spoiler

I awoke the next day with a warmer feeling in my heart, and as I normally did every morning, I checked my left wrist to see the bracelet Katsuragi had given me. I smiled, and pushed myself off my bed quickly, and prepared myself for school.
Entering the classroom was a bit awkward, and I felt mildly guilty about leaving the note on my desk back home after I saw Ayumi. She waved over to me, so I walked towards her.
"How did it go?" She asked.
"He ran away," I said while laughing.
"Ran away? Why didn't you chase after him?" She asked.
"His speed was incredible. I don't think I've ever seen someone run so fast," I responded. "I tried calling you to tell you what was happening though."
"Ah, sorry. My phone was charging." She said while sighing.
It must have been difficult for her to give us her blessing. It was obvious that her feelings were hurt, but even then, she forfeited her own happiness to give me a chance at my own.
"Ayumi, do you like Katsuragi?" I asked.
"W-what are you asking?! Of course not! How could I like someone like that? He's such a geek, and I have other things to worry about!" She said.
An immediate denial, without any hesitation. It was as if this response had been planned out in advance. It would appear that Katsuragi hadn't made a move on Ayumi yet. But..why wouldn't he? Is he too focused on the current situation? It wouldn't make sense as to why he would've written the letter if he was trying to get a girl to fall in love with him.
I put my hands on his desk.
"What do you want, Chihiro?" Katsuragi asked.
"We're going to talk," I responded.
"So...talk?" He responded.
"How big of an idiot are you, anyway? Not here, somewhere secluded...where no one is around..." I blushed at the words I was saying. I knew what I meant, but it seemed that it sounded totally different.
He nodded. "Can this wait until later, though?" He asked.
I shrugged and said, "How later?"
He sighed and responded, "After school. It's not like either of us take a bus or anything, and our houses are quite close."
"How do you know where I live?!" I responded with mild anger.
"Don't worry about such insignificant details. Point is, accompany me after school, and I'll choose a place that's private enough to discuss important matters," he responded.
"Are you sure you're not going to run away again?" I asked.
"Run away? What are you talking about?" He asked.
Was he playing dumb, or did he really not know? If he didn't know, did it fall out of some sort of imposter's pocket? No, it was definitely him.
"Oh, and Chihiro?" He asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Yesterday, did you find a note in the church you were in? It seemed to have fallen out of my hands," he asked.
"Yeah, I found something like that. Was it for Ayumi, because I didn't give it to her," I responded.
"You...didn't give it to her?" He said, astounded.
"No, isn't it better to tell a girl things to her face? Saying them in a note is far too cowardly. You need to be up forward, and tell her things truthfully from the get-go," I responded.
"Is that Venus talking, or is it you?" He asked.
"That's me talking," I responded. "If you're going to confess to her, sooner would be much better than later."
"Chihiro?" He asked.
"Yeah?" I responded.
"I have no intention of trying to charm Ayumi at all," he said.
"What? Why not?" I asked. I was truly shocked. I was of the thought that he was wanting to get this goddess thing done and over with?
"Because I've lied too much to Ayumi in the past. It's time for me to be completely honest with her, and tell her the truth. She needs to hear it," he responded.
"So you tried telling her in a note?" I responded.
"Yeah, I thought that it would be better for me to actually say it completely, rather than stuttering like a fool." He responded.
I approached my seat, and signaled to him that he better not run away. He held up his hand for me and waved as if to say not to worry.
Ayumi waved to me and smiled. It felt bad that Katsuragi was going to tell her the truth, but I guess it's better for her to hear it from him rather than to hear it from me.
As the day ended, I accompanied Katsuragi out the door, and I saw Ayumi's eyes begin to water, but she smiled quickly and waved to me.
It was time for me to confront Katsuragi, and ask him about serious matters, and at least try to help him resolve his differences with Ayumi in a more delicate fashion.

Chapter 8: First Date

Spoiler

I woke up from my bed to see the time. It was 6:44AM. Having dreams of Katsuragi and Ayumi being a relationship made me feel very uncomfortable, as if something was eating at my insides. Every time I awoke from a dream like this, I experienced many conflicting feelings.
The first would be happiness for Ayumi, but also sadness because I knew Katsuragi wasn't really attracted to her, it was more of a facade that Katsuragi was showing to get closer to Ayumi's goddess. It was strange knowing that Ayumi and I were both in the same position, and in love with the same person.
When I confronted Ayumi in the restroom, a feeling of sadness came over myself as I denied my feelings. But a greater sadness came when Ayumi denied me. When she told me that she could no longer be in a band with me, because of him... it broke me even more. Ayumi may have been trying not to hurt me, but in the process, whether she realized it or not, she was drifting further away from me.
In order to protect Katsuragi, I had to lie to my best friend, and to myself. I couldn't help but wonder if that was how Katsuragi had been feeling in the past. When he yet again had confronted me and asked for my help with Ayumi, I considered him to be a huge jerk, to the point where I felt that I wanted to kick him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
But in these moments, was his chest aching like mine had? Did he feel the pain that I was currently feeling? Perhaps it was a feeling of jealousy, that I was afraid that something would blossom between Ayumi and him if I didn't keep close enough watch. But if I did keep close watch, then perhaps it would drive him away. That was definitely not something I desired.
Love was a complex feeling. Having these memories of his inside my brain felt very intrusive. I had remembered him being a girl, and even though I didn't know what girl he was at the time, it was very awkward to realize he had these type of things happening to him like they were just everyday occurrences.
I arrived in the park after getting something to eat, and then sat down on one of the swings, and began to push myself into the air. I heard footsteps coming my way, and I stopped myself as my feet hit the ground below.
He approached me and asked, "Did I interrupt your fun?"
I shook my head quickly, "Not at all. I just figured you weren't coming. You are four minutes late, after all."
"Isn't this one of those moments where the girl is supposed to say that she has only just arrived as well?" He asked.
"Don't act like this is some sort of shōnen harem manga." I responded.
He shrugged and shook his head. "Well, I guess you're not the type to lie like that. It's what makes you a good character."
I sighed and said, "Was that supposed to be some sort of pathetic attempt of flattery?"
He responded, "Sorry. I guess real girls are more complex than I originally anticipated. What would happen if I complimented you about your ranking in my heart? That you were first and foremost?"
I responded, "It would probably make me put my palm to my face and sigh, to be honest."
"The real truly is complex," he said.
"Never mind that. You said you had an idea of where to talk to me," I responded.
"Let's go there," he said. He was pointing to a movie theatre.
"A movie? Do you realize how cliché that is?" I asked.
"It's quiet in there, and if we watch some old American movie, then there shouldn't be many people at all there," he responded.
I nodded. "Yeah, I suppose you're right."
We took off, and I kept my paces a few steps in front of his, while he treaded slowly. It was nice not to have our school uniforms on. This felt a lot more casual, but I'm sure Katsuragi probably noticed it quite a bit more because the boys have to wear a lot more clothing than girls do.
But there was one thing I couldn't help but notice. There was a collar on his neck that he never seemed to take off. Was he hiding something under it? That would have to be another thing I'd ask when we arrived.
We walked into the theatre lobby and Katsuragi looked at the list of movies being produced. He pointed at one, and I pulled out my purse.
"Don't worry about it, Chihiro. Let me do something for you this time," he said and smiled.
The thought made me blush a little, but not too much. I was happy that he decided to think of me, if not only for just a small time.
We walked through the lobby, and down the corridor. It seemed that the movie was very unpopular, with us being the only people in the room, just as Katsuragi had predicted. The actors and actresses were speaking English, and I didn't have much idea of what they were saying. English was a much harder language than I had given it credit for, despite taking a class to learn the language.
I turned my head towards Katsuragi, who was seemingly focused on the movie, and seemed to actually understand what they were saying.
"Do you know what they're saying?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's a film talking about an American ship that sank in the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1900's. It seems a lot of people died on board," he responded.
"How can you understand them?" I asked, astounded.
"Ah, there was a couple American-exclusive games that I imported that were only in English, so I picked up on the language quite quickly."
I sighed. The sad thing was that this story was believable.
"Katsuragi, what's up with Ayumi? Have things been going okay?" I asked.
He suddenly turned to me, looking very serious. "Honestly, I don't know. She's very complicated, and she's more concerned about you than her own feelings. I'm glad she's putting you first, but it's really tough to get things done when she has such a frustrating personality at times."
"She told me she didn't want to be part of the band anymore. I think she wants to distance herself from me," I said.
"Oh, I see... I'm sure she'll come around eventually," he said. "Hang in there, Chihiro."
I smiled and looked at him, concerned.
"What's up with the collar?" I asked.
"Ah, this thing. When I said I didn't have a choice, I was talking about this thing. If I don't make girls fall in love with me, this will chop off my head," he said quietly.
"Chop off your head? Sounds a bit hard to believe, don't you think?" I asked.
"Compared to having a Goddess in your body, and spirits possessing people?" He responded.
"Point taken," I said, then laughed.
I didn't really have many questions, so I leaned forward and tried to understand what was being spoken in the movie, but failed.
"Are you in love with Ayumi?" I asked.
"Why do you ask that?" He responded.
"So I can hear the answer," I replied.
He shook his head and said, "I'm just doing it to call forth her goddess. No more, no less."
I laid back, letting all the information settle into my brain.
I woke up moments later to find Katsuragi gone, with a note stationed next to me.
"You looked completely exhausted, and I thought it'd be rude to wake you up. See you later. I hope you enjoyed yourself."
Enjoyed myself? What did he mean by that? Wait... The thought that had never occurred to me was that this could be considered... a date.
Agh!! Why didn't I enjoy myself more? All I did was ask questions! And he picked a romantic tragedy too!
I felt incredibly dense at the realization that I had screwed up my first actual date with him so effectively. But there was always Monday, and there was always Tuesday after that. I sighed, and left the movie theatre.
By the entrance, I saw Katsuragi sitting beside the building. I hit him over the head softly and said, "I thought you left? You said, "See you later" didn't you?"
He moved his hand over his head and said, "Yeah, I thought I did too. But I decided to wait for you. Didn't want you getting lost, you know."
I responded, "If you wanted to walk home with me, you could've just asked." I blushed at the thought.
"I'm not the type to ask such embarrassing things," he responded.
I sighed. "Well, consider yourself lucky, because a girl will be accompanying you so that she...won't get lost," I said as I held back the mild anger.
He laughed. "Well, so long as you don't get lost."
I smiled. This "date" had many low points, but nevertheless, I truly believed that this was the best date ever.

[Ryuutai]

I'm really curious to see the conversation between Keima and Chihiro! :)

Nice, I think you should update your first post, to make it easier to read.

Chapter 9: Valentine's

Spoiler

~~Dedicated to my first RedHawk friend, and fellow CxK supporter, who won't be getting any of my poisonous chocolates on White Day.~~
"You knew, didn't you?" I asked very calmly, looking towards the mirror toward our lunch break.
"Knew what?" The girl responded quietly.
"Valentine's day. It is here, and you never once told me that it was coming!" I said, mildly engaged.
"Chihiro, calm down, it's just another day," she responded.
"It's not another day, Venus!" I said. "He was supposed to eat chocolates from me! I was barely able to make them on time!"
She laughed and said, "I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react that way. You should apparently know above anyone else that he hates sweet things."
"I did know that! And I put that into consideration!" I exclaimed.
I wondered to myself why it was that I was in love with him. Was it confusion? Regret? Did I even need a reason? Probably, but even though Katsuragi and I weren't officially a couple, I still wanted to spend the remaining 10 hours and 32 minutes together with him. Because even though I hadn't really set upon a reason, I still knew that I truly did love him with all my heart.
A hand came upon my shoulder, and shook me quietly. "You okay, Chihiro?" I turned to face Ayumi, who had a wide grin on her face, having accepted Katsuragi's confession earlier. Thanks to the confession, Ayumi's goddess had awoken; and the rhythm of her heart had echoed throughout her body loudly. At the time, I was really jealous, because I thought my feelings for Katsuragi had all been for nothing. But even though this whole goddess thing was serious stuff, deceiving a girl on Valentine's Day was cruel.
I nodded to Ayumi. "Yeah, I'm fine," I said.
"Do you know why Katsuragi looks ill?" I asked.
"W-Why would I know? It's not like I keep tabs on him or anything!" She responded in an odd fashion.
"I saw you accept the confession. It's obvious you like him, Ayumi," I said with a sigh.
She looked at me, sighing as well. "I feel like I've stolen him from you," she said.
"I see," I responded.
I didn't want to deceive her. All I could do was just be evasive.
"He's been rather popular today, believe it or not!" Ayumi exclaimed.
"Really?" I asked, mildly shocked.
"Yeah, Kanon-chan wrote him a song, a middle schooler, Kusonoki-senpai, and a couple of other students gave him chocolate. And get this! Some girl gave him chocolate ramen!"
"Did you get him anything, Ayumi?" I asked.
"I ran as fast as I could, but the store was closed by the time I got there…" she said.
That idiot, why couldn't he decline them? I put my hand in my pocket, and felt the small pouch that held chocolates within it.
"You made some for him, didn't you?" She asked.
"What would make you say that?" I responded.
"I just know. You should give them to him," she said.
"But it's already been more than 2 weeks since you two confessed to each other! I can't give them to him," I responded. "I don't even know why I made them!"
"Because you still love him, is all," she responded. "You need to do this to get over your feelings."
I sighed and said, "Fine, I'll do it." I left the room quietly, and approached the roof.
I saw him laying down on a bench, sleeping. I dropped the pouch on his head, and quietly and slowly moved away.
Movement came from behind me, steps that were getting louder and louder as they came closer. I felt his arms around me. It was a feeling of warmth, and made me feel a sense of importance.
His lips approached my ears. "I had to force myself to quickly eat all of the others, but these I'll be able to savor," he whispered.
He put a chocolate into his mouth and said, "It's not that sweet. It's delicious. Thank you, Chihiro."
He moved his hand across my head, and held me in his arms. Ayumi was right, giving him my chocolates did help me realize where my feelings stood. Unfortunately, I was certain that the feelings I had were not the kind my best friend would appreciate. Because I realized that I truly did love him with all my heart, and after hearing his words, this day wasn't as bad as I was expecting.
His lips set upon my own, and a warm feeling came across my body. I tasted the chocolates I made, and I felt the chocolate he had taken before move into my mouth.
"Thank you again, Chihiro. Let's get going," he said.
My face turned red as a result of his actions. Not a bad day at all.

Chapter 10: Crystal Clear

Spoiler

I woke up from a dream where I witnessed again Ayumi and Katsuragi's wedding. My stomach felt nauseous, and I began to poke and prod at the feelings I'd been having. Katsuragi stated that he adored Ayumi, and I saw on stage the wings that had sprouted from her back due to those words. Kanon-chan had been a source of comfort as well at that time, but she also had a goddess. All the while, I had always been on the sidelines, with a goddess unknowingly sleeping inside me. Nevertheless, I was a normal girl, even as far as those with goddesses went.
An email came to my phone from Katsuragi. I opened it, and read it aloud.
Chihiro, we need to speak face to face. Can I see you? It's something that isn't proper to talk over the phone. It's too harsh for me to say it in an email or through the phone. Please meet me in our usual spot. Please...

In response, I closed the phone, and began to run as fast as I could. As I had reached my body's speed limit, I began to run faster. As a result, I crashed into the ground. I looked around to see that no one was there, just me. I brushed the dirt off my knees, and began to run again. As I arrived, I took a look at my phone. It was seven in the evening. There was no way that Katsuragi would've stayed behind that long, but he asked me to come, and I felt entitled to go to him.
I opened the door to the roof, to see the roof ahead. There wasn't anyone there to greet me. All the benches were empty, and no one was around. I was alone. It was to be expected, after all, it was late.
"Chihiro, you came." I heard words from behind a tree.
"Katsuragi, what are you doing here this late?" I responded.
"Waiting for you, that's what I requested, isn't it? It'd be in poor taste for me to leave when you were coming," he responded.
"Being all masculine, what's your motive...?" I asked.
"Let's go out," he stated.
"No," I responded. Why would he ask such a thing?
"Let's go out," he repeated.
"No..." I said again. Why was he pushing this on me? Sure, we had confessed our feelings, but that was just a confession! This was different somehow. I didn't know how it was different, but it just was!
"You won't ever have to be alone in that house anymore without any parents. I know you live alone, and your parents are gone. From now on, your place will be by my side!" He said boldly.
"Why...are you being so persistent... it almost sounds like a proposal... I haven't even agreed to going out yet...." I said, feeling hesitant.
”Whether or not I'm persistent doesn't matter. What matters is that I love you, and that's that! So, I'll say again, let's go out!" He shouted.
"These words...you've uttered similar ones to other girls... how am I to know that these aren't just words meant for a short period of time, and nothing other than that?" I responded sadly. I had a feeling that his answer would determine my own.
"You'll just have to trust me." He said.
He embraced me in his arms and put his lips upon mine. He parted and said, "Do my lips feel like I'm lying?"
"How am I supposed to know? Lips lie when they move, not when they're kissing someone," I responded coldly.
"Let's do it. Let's go out." He said again.
This time, I nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you."
He took my hands, and held me close. The night air was cold, but his arms were full of warmth. Our breathing was visible in the air, but he still held me close. I smiled in this warmth.
"I love you, Keima." I said aloud.
He nodded and said, "Yeah."
"Say something," I said.
"Something," he responded.
"You play so many games, don't you have any lines for moments like these?" I said frustrated.
"I love you," he responded.
"How dull," I said.
"I can't let you go anymore," he said back.
"Isn't that a bit cliche?" I quipped.
He kissed me and said, "Is that okay for an answer?"
I nodded. "Just barely..."
He took my hand and said, "Let's stay together forever."
I nodded. "Forever is a long time though."
"Funny, I was thinking it wasn't long enough to spend with someone like you." He said.
I blushed and said, "Well, I guess you'll have to make due."
We kissed many times that night, and did many things together on the rooftop. After the night ended, I smiled with happiness. No matter how long I waited, Keima would always be here for me, and I would always love him.
Because it was crystal clear that we were in love.

If someone else brave enough to face her. That remind me her mail end up in hell how the hell did that happen.

Yeah, sadly, not many people will go out of their way to face her. I think even many counselors (with various level of proficiency whom I'm familiar with) would find her really hard to deal with and might give up. I bet her grandmother will be a great influence in her life though. Hope she can find a good friend at some point. As for the mail, I guess there's something special about her that we don't know about ...
