• Yoichi has been acting weird. On the way to the hot springs, he never stopped staring at me. Our friends thought it was just a love stare, but they didn't know Yoichi like I did. If he didn't try anything in at least 5 minutes, there was something going on. As we got our rooms -we all got our own room- I snuck over to Yoichi's. He was surprised as I entered his room and sat up in his bed. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "Are you, um, okay, Yoichi?" I asked. "Yea. Why?" he asked. "Well, you've been acting a little off scince I went to your house yestarday." I said. "I'm fine. Anyway, do you remember what happened yestarday?" he asked. I shook my head "No. I just remember Amu bringing those cookies. They smelled really good. I started eating, and than, nothing, until I woke up with my shirt off that is." I said giving him a look. He looked at me expressionless. "I see, well, you can go now, close the door on your way out." he said and lyed back down. "You stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...." I mumbled quietly, but went on, kept saying it, even in my low voice. He sat up again and looked at me, confused. That's when I started crying. I don't know why, but I just felt a kind of empty loneliness seep over me, and the tears just fell. "S-sayomi." he said, bewildered, and painstriken, as if seeing me cry hurt him. I looked up, the tears blurred my vision and it was hard to speak, but I was still able to yell three words "You idiot!" and I ran out the room. I could hear Yoichi running after me as I ran down the hallway. "Sayomi wait!" he yelled, he grabbed my wrist, I didn't look back at him. "Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the way I've been acting and how I've treated you. So, please forgive me." he said. "You idiot. Why should I forgive you?!" I yelled. "Please." he said, and held me from behind my waist, burying his face in my hair. "Yoichi. Okay, I'll forgive you. On one condition." I said. "Anything." he whispered. "Tell me what the hell is going on." I said. He sighed "Okay. I will." he whispered, and held me tighter.

    Yoichi

    I should've seen this coming. Having to tell Sayomi everything I mean. We were already back in my room and I had pulled Sayomi into my lap. The side of her body rested against my chest. I bent down, and nibbled her ear. "Yoichi!" she hissed. I felt her boobs "Damn! Is it just me, or have your boobs gotten bigger?!" I exclaimed. "You pervert!!! Do you want me to slap all the way around the equator?" she asked. "Yumiko." I said. All the anger drained out of her face as it changed to confusion. "Yumiko Heart. She was a goddess. She had power over everything, Animals, humans, elements, life itself even." I said. "What are you getting at?" she asked. "Let me finish. Yumiko, even being so powerful, was killed. She was killed by her apprentice. But, with the last of her strength, she cast her power away in ashes, to be reincarnated into someone else. There was another person. Her name was Izuna. But, she died by her brother's hand. It went on and on. Every 20 years, a new goddess was born. By the time that person reached her 20th birthday, they would always be murdered by someone. Yet, something strange happened. Each time someone new was reincarnated, the souls and power of not only Yumiko rested inside her, but also all of the girls before her." I explained. Sayomi was listening closely, nodding her head from time to time. "A legend from my world says that when a girl finally discovers the gift of immortality, can the spell be broken. But until that happens, each girl is destined to die a cruel death." I finished. "Why are you telling me this?" she asked. "Because, I think you're the new goddess." I said. Her lips parted slightly and her eyes went wide as she said "N-no way!"
