I rolled up the scroll carefully and placed it in a place I knew no one would do any damage to it. Honestly I wanted to know where they got the scroll; but then again it does make since that then have it considering they’re shaman.
“Where did Em go.” I muttered looking around.
“Who are you looking for Ryuu?” Matsu asked with his normal smile.
“Have you seen Emiko any where?” I asked as he followed me into the kitchen.
“…no actually I haven’t seen her for a while actually.” He said.
I picked up the glass of water that was filled but no one had taken a drink out of it. I got a sudden shock from the out side of the glass.
“Ow.” I accidentally said out loud.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“I just got shocked on the glass, which is weird I didn’t skid my feet across the floor. Anyways what was up with Nino?”
“I’m not sure actually.” He sighed.
“You’re lying to me I know it.” I set down the glass and whispered across the counter.
“Don’t worry about it Ryuu.” He whispered back taking a bottle of water out of the ice.
“I’m going to worry about it something’s wrong with Em and now she’s not here. I can’t even since her. It’s almost as if she’s completely disappeared.” Matsu’s expression quickly changed at what I said.

Haha one of those to be continued deals.
I was aware of Nino kneeling next to me, as when he touched me, his memories flowed into my mind like water pouring out of a faucet. It was that same girl. She knew both Nino and Matsu. I couldn't do much of anything as the visions passed through ...

Nino could hear and all but feel Emiko following him, and yet he made no motion to acknowledge this. Just go back..... his thoughts spoke aloud, and yet the dark haired man could do nothing more on the subject. He was unwilling to proceed with saying anything and continued to walk silently down the street. Enmiko remained a good five steps behind Nino no matter how the dark haired man changed his pace.
"Get out!" suddenly rang in the dark haired man's ears, and he turned around sharply to find that the red haired girl was on her knees on the ground and clasping her head. His eyes widened for a moment before narrowing again. Stepping forwards, the dark haired man sighed to himself and keeled down to the level of the red haired Emiko. He made no motion to touch her, yet his dark eyes were piercing through her hair and towards her face. Her eyes remained elusive as she crushed them between her eyelids. "Get out..... please....." Emiko begged shaking her head, and before any other motion was made, Nino had seized the side of Emiko's face in his hand. The sharp images that spiraled over the dark haired man caused him to recoil instantly.
"Nin you need to stop that...." "Nino! Why did you make Matsu cry?" "Nin-kun... the stars are out... want to watch with me and Matsu?" "Sho-kun says we're going somewhere special today!" "Nino where did Aiba go?" "Nin-kun... give me your soda! Now!" "Nino... I want.. to tell you something...." "Come on... we'll all stay friends no matter what right?" the images and words that twisted their way around in Nino's mind caused the dark haired mans' eyes to widen and his hands to seize his head. He backed up sharply, and yet his eye remained on Emiko who continued to hold her own head. "Nino... good bye...." "NO!" Nino shouted it so loudly that it all but echoed into the air. Shaking his head and continuing to back up, the dark haired man swore to himself over and over again. "What did you do?" he roared as he began biting his lip sharply.
"Get out....." Emiko was all but whimpering now. "Get out....."
Suddenly Nino found himself standing in the pits of his own mind, and once again the brown haired girl was standing where she would always be. Turning her head and smiling lightly at him, Aoi waved her hand and then faded.
In another half moment, a stillness broke into the air. It was completely and utterly silent. Emiko released her heads as though the pain were leaving her, and the steady sounds of breathing became audible once more.
I knew whomever that girl was had to be close to Nino, someone he truly cared about, otherwise, why did it so obviously hurt to talk about her? I debated about going home, but I couldn't bring myself to do so. Go enjoy myself, he says? Psh, ya rig...

"Nino!" a voice yelled from behind teh dark haired man. Nino let out a cold breath and finally stopped and turned to face Emiko who was running up at a steady pace towards him. He said nothing but just eyed her sharply. Emiko was wearing an extremely determined look upon her visage, and the dark haired man all but cringed while staring at it. Stopping fully, Nino waited. As Emiko bent down to catch her breath, a image of Aoi doing the same flashed through the dark haried man's mind, and quickly he forced it away.
"I want some answers. Honest answers. What happened back there? What did you do to me?" Emiko said forcing herself up completely once more. Nino said nothing but started to side step and turn around once more. However, Emiko appeared to run in front of him and forced herself forwards almost as a barrier. Nino's eyebrow raised sharply.
"I have no idea what you mean," Nino answered back making a movement to brush by the red haired girl, and yet she seized his shoulder sharply. Flinching, Nino stepped back with his eyes narrowed down into a death glare. Seeing this, Emiko's eyes widened in sudden surprise but then narrowed again.
"Who was that girl?" Emiko asked crossing her arms in front of her. "She said Nin-kun which would be you. Matsu's said that before too."
Nino said nothing for a moment but then turned his head. "No one," he answered back. However, his thoughts had been confirmed. She had seen it too.
"That's a lie," Emiko answered back almost caustically. "What did you do?"
"I did nothing," Nino answered back forcing himself to stare directly back at Emiko. "This conversation is over." Nino made a motion to side step Emiko once again, yet she refused to allow him to pass.
"I feel sick, I think someone's after me, and I blame you," Emiko said sharply. "What did you do?"
"You need to stop eating sweets then," Nino answered back, and suddenly Emiko's face took on somewhat of a comic angry form. "They're bad for you and cause your brain to lose functional control."
"Are you calling me fat?" Emiko said suddenly puffing up sharply.
"Shesh why are you eating so much?" the dark haired boy shook his head and crossed his arms.
"Are you calling me fat?" the brown haired girls answered back.
Nino shook his head sharply and all but shoved four fingers of his left hand into his temple. "No," he answered back. "I'm saying that you're mistaken," he answered back.
"No, you did something," Emiko answered back looking more determined than ever. "Who is she?"
"Will you just leave it alone!" Nino shouted sharply causing Emiko to recoil back. Catching himself, the dark haired man fell into silence and started to side step Emiko again. "Just go 'home'," Nino said sharply. "And don't worry about it." Forcing himself past Emiko, Nino began walking down the street again.
"Is she someone important to you?" Emiko finally asked. Nino remained silent as he walked.
"No," Nino answered back. "Just leave me alone."
With that, the dark haired man continued to walk away.
"You're suffering," Emiko said after a moment causing the dark haired man to freeze in place once more. "Just explain it already."
"I can't," Nino answered back keeping his back to Emiko. His head moved up, and his eyes had already started to focus on the stars that were forming in the strange sky above. "Go back to Ryuu's party and enjoy yourself. The shamistic world isn't for outsiders."
"I can see spirits too ya know," Emiko said almost sharply.
"It's not like that," Nino shook his head and forced himself to walk once more, and at the very last second, almost so quietly that no one else could here, Nino spoke again. "Her name was Aoi," he breathed before he continued walking, and with that, the dark haired man disappeared down the street.
