[KH/FF] Treachery of Fate: Imperfect Imposter

Chapter 1

“Um…No?”

“That is not convincing at all. Go shower,” Aoi waved him off before turning to you. “I am so sorry about that [Name]-chan.”

“It’s alright,” you laughed. “I’m really enjoying my time here Aoi-san, although it hasn’t been long.”

“That brings up the question, how long are you going to stay?” he asked, leading you to the kitchen. “I don’t mean that in a rude way though! I’m just curious since the predicament you told us you were in seems rather arduous.”

“I still don’t have an idea,” you sighed, shaking your head. “I guess tomorrow or the day after I should go. The only way to go about this is just…do it—live as someone else and watch my own life closely. The only problem though is getting there since I don’t know where anyone lives now.”

“You can always try—”

“Oji-san, phone!” Meiyo called from the living room.

“I’ll be right back,” Aoi patted your back with a smile.

Nodding, you headed to the room you shared with a few of the girls—Meiyo, Desu, and Kakawara—to pack up your things. There wasn’t anything to bring though other than your black duffel bag and clothes you had which wasn’t even half of the black rectangular suitcase you were given to by Meiyo.

As you folded the last of your clothes, you yawned, gazing out the window at the pounding rain. The clock beeped, indicating it was eight thirty and you sighed, reaching a hand up to touch your kudan key.

‘Maybe I should call on Akinori,’ you thought.

The door slid open, Aoi stepping through it with an expression that was both unsure and hopeful at the same time. He sat before you on the wooden floor, fumbling with his fingers. Seeming to come up with how he was to word what he was thinking about, his gaze shifted from the floor and to you.

“[Name]-chan, you’ll have an opportunity to find your friends tomorrow,” Aoi said quietly. “Fai is coming in to check on us, and seeing that he isn’t going to remember you, I’ve been thinking to have him take you to wherever he is going when I teleport the both of you there.”

“Will you be coming with?”

“No, it’ll just be a sending,” he smiled sadly. “Nevertheless, you know where to find us. I’ll try visiting too next month since I’m starting to get a better hang of these powers.”

“Okay,” you nodded slowly. “You think…what are you going to tell him?”

“I haven’t decided yet, but I’ll let you know tomorrow—alright?”

“Okay,” you nodded again.

“Good, now I need to go check on something,” he smiled, exiting the room. At the same time, Koji came in, two medium sized boxes in his hands.

“Hey, [Nickname],” he grinned, plopping down beside you and opening up the suitcase.

“Hi?” you furrowed your eyebrows. “I thought I said that I wouldn’t take any more clothes.”

“Oh they’re not clothes,” Koji shook his head, pulling the folded articles out and placing in the boxes first,” they’re gifts from us.”

“Gifts?”

He nodded,” Thank you presents—and don’t you reject them~! There’s…something interesting you should see in them. But only open it when all of this is settled—you’ll see what I mean.”

“Will do,” you nodded, then sighed heavily as he set the clothes on top of the boxes—all fitting snugly into the suitcase.

“What’s wrong [Name]-san?” the purple haired teen frowned.
