Altering The Flow of Time

Aisha looked at me then back at Naomi. I stood up and Mr. Hoshida looked at me. Some of the students looked at me. I am back...in the month of November. Naomi looked at me and wondered why I stood up. I grunted and closed my eyes, gripping my hair. Otsuki kept looking forward and her eyes shined pink.

"Mr. Hoshida. I would like to go to Tsubami's office really quickly." I said.

Mr. Hoshida looked at me. He pushed his glasses up then closed his eyes. "Go ahead."

I looked at Naomi then grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. "You're coming with me..."

"Eh?! Take your hands off me you inferior peasant!" Naomi yelled at bit. "Mr.-"

"It's best you go with him. Besides you're still new here, it wouldn't hurt being shown around." Mr. Hoshida said.

Otsuki looked at Mr. Hoshida and noticed he was also unaffected by her abilities. She tested her theory by typing something on her notes and hitting save. She stared at Mr. Hoshida and waited. Mr. Hoshida moved hit eyes to look at Otsuki. Otsuki got an unsettling feeling and sank into her seat. "He's..immune..." Otsuki said quietly to herself.

Naomi and I left the classroom. I practically pulled her then went to somewhere private and let go of her. Naomi looked a bit uncomfortable and looked at me, rubbing her wrist.

"Listen to me very closely...Naomi, you have died before in the past...or died in the future? I don't know but I'm stuck in some curse and I want to break it." I said.

"What? Sure buddy. If this is why you dragged me out of class then you should be prepared to never talk to me again. Unless you can prove to me that you're in some time loop shit, please and I mean this in the most disrespectful way, never fucking talk to me again." Naomi said, crossing her arms.

I had nothing to prove I was in a time loop. All but one fact, Shokyo. The issue with that is we are back to the day before Shokyo even existed then it clicked to me. Reiko, Asa, and Koume were prime victims on this very day.

"Naomi, next class is gym class, but first is lunch on this day, Emma gets bullied for her financial situation. I'm planning to stop that. Naomi, I may not have enough information on you taken the last time we met things were rushed, but I have enough evidence that I live in this constant loop and curse. In twelve seconds the bell will ring." I said.

"Okay. Let's see." Naomi said.

The time ticked and in exactly twelve seconds the bell for lunch rang. Naomi was impressed, but it wasn't enough to convince her. We walked down to the cafeteria.

"Today is were day cheesecake is served." I said then pushed Naomi in front of me. "Take the last piece."

She looked at me and rose an eyebrow then picked up the last piece of cheesecake. I felt a rush of wind and grunted. Otsuki and Tsubami grunted as well then I closed my eyes. The first timeline shattered and was replaced by a new one, this timeline.

"What the hell..?" Otsuki panted softly.

"Hey are you okay?" Rebecca asked.

"Y-Yeah...just felt something off." Otsuki said.

Naomi sat down at the table with Otsuki and the others. I looked around the cafeteria and noticed Emma getting pushed around by Reiko, Asa, and Koume. I walked to them and grabbed the shoulder of Reiko. They looked at me and I frowned a bit at them.

"I know your father put Emma's family in debt. Trust me...if you don't make their debt disappear, something bad will happen to you." I said.

I'm sorry Satori, but letting the girls handle this is what caused everything to happen. Obviously since I'm back at this moment...I have another chance to make everything right.

"You're threatening me? I'll have you and your family sued in a heartbeat!" Reiko yelled.

The cafeteria got quiet and the students look into our direction. I looked at Reiko and gave a weak smile.

"My family...isn't here anymore. Good luck with that." I said.

"Eh..?" Reiko looked at me with discomfort.

"Please I'm trying to save you...please get rid of the money they owe or at the very least lower the amount that they owe." I said.

Reiko looked at Emma then scoffed. "Fine. I'll call my dad and see what I can do. Come on girls...let's go." She walked off and twirled a strand of her hair around her finger.

Otsuki's heart thumped hard and she groaned loudly. She gripped her shirt and panted. She stood up quickly and felt a strong gust of wind. She looked at me and her eyes shined pink. I looked at Otsuki and felt the same gust of wind.

'Otsuki...I know it's you, but I need proof that it's you. I need to take you down at all costs. You are the curse...You are the issue. I will solve this mystery. I will bring this to an end. For this curse to end...I will have to make it to the festival.' I thought to myself. 'The plot has changed from making one my girlfriend to saving all of them. Friday. Friday is the deadline to gather enough information and take you down for good. But all I need is a few minutes. One book is all I need."

'Senpai..! Senpai! You bastard!' Otsuki's mind screamed. 'You're supposed to be mine! You're supposed to be mine forever! I won't let you ruin this!'

I closed my eyes and walked away. Otsuki looked at me then felt her power on people weaken. She walked away from the cafeteria and went off to some undisclosed location.

I searched all around the library for a book named Erase. I looked on every shelf until I found it. "Things are going to be different. I will find out how to break this curse. This book...has all the answers I need."

I looked around and sat in a place where there was a bunch of students. I opened the book and began reading.

The story behind with a male by the name of E̵̡͚̝̦͈̎̿̌̓̔ŗ̷̪͂͌̈́̑͒̓̕ḭ̸̲̥͕̠͌̽̊k̴͚͓͚͑̿̉̃̾̋ ̷̛̜͕̯̫̠̫̟̳̆̍̽̈́̀̍̏͘͝I̴̥͐̃̊̿̄̕z̸̨̳̖̬̲̰̳̠̝͆͐̍̔̈͝ͅù̸͕̹͕̠͔̲̙̎͆́͜ͅņ̵̀̑̐̂̔̋̽̀̚͠a̵̧̺͍̯͔͊̓͌̋͆̈́͐̀͜ and he meets a woman by the name of imɒǫɒǫɒͶ imɘЯ. The man went to an academy with this woman and everything started off normal. Everyone in the story was friends until a second woman came along who was named ᎷᎥᎥᏦᏗ ᎷᏗᏖᏕᏬᎥ. The male and second female got along well as well as the other two females the male became friends with. Suddenly the first woman began to become extremely jealous, she had murderous intentions for the females. Suddenly she began to kill them one by one, but each time they all die, time restarts. Changing a few events aren't enough to break the loop. It took the death of the first woman to break the loop. The only one who could kill her was the male.

I stopped reading for a bit and looked at the names. E̵̡͚̝̦͈̎̿̌̓̔ŗ̷̪͂͌̈́̑͒̓̕ḭ̸̲̥͕̠͌̽̊k̴͚͓͚͑̿̉̃̾̋ ̷̛̜͕̯̫̠̫̟̳̆̍̽̈́̀̍̏͘͝I̴̥͐̃̊̿̄̕z̸̨̳̖̬̲̰̳̠̝͆͐̍̔̈͝ͅù̸͕̹͕̠͔̲̙̎͆́͜ͅņ̵̀̑̐̂̔̋̽̀̚͠a̵̧̺͍̯͔͊̓͌̋͆̈́͐̀͜...I looked closely at the letters and my eyes widened. Erik Izuna, my father. I looked at the second name. imɒǫɒǫɒͶ imɘЯ...I took out a piece of paper and wrote down each letter in reverse order. Remi...Nagagami. Nagagami..that's Otsuki's last name.

"Wait...if this is the case.." I flipped to the last page of the book and read the final sentences.

Motosaki...if you see this book, avoid Japan or else you will fall into the curse of the Nagagami Clan. You'll fall into the same fate as me. If you do so happened to go there, the only way you can break the curse...is if you kill the Nagagami on the day of the Festival on Friday. If you make it that far, reality will break and you will meet the true culprit, Remi Nagagami.

I closed the book and looked at my phone. "November 12th. Monday. I just have to survive...well we all have to survive until November 16th. If one person dies...time will reset and we will start all over. Something doesn't make since though...Seeing Naomi's body put me back to this day, but Naomi's initial death put me all the way back to the week before. If I'm looking at it correctly...I have to prevent at least Aisha, Rebecca, Emma, and Naomi from dying. We have to survive until then." I said then opened the book again.

You are stuck in a loop and if you wish to restart on a certain day and try again, you have to end your own life. I can't tell you how many times I have died, but I can tell you this is one battle you have to win. There are two requirements to breaking the curse for good. One is to pick the right girl to take with you to meet Remi Nagagami and you have to be the one to kill her. Any method is okay. If you choose the wrong girl...then you will be okay but the girl you brought with you will be cursed. The only way out is to end your life and restart. Play your cards correctly, if you are to die, the world will restart completely. You hold the power to stop this. You can kill the Nagagami, but in doing so the world will restart as if they weren't alive, but the curse will still be there.

I closed the book once more and looked at the ceiling. I got a message on my phone and I looked at my phone.

[Shokyo]: Don't think you've won now you have the truth, Senpai~ You won't even survive that long. It's best you just give up.

I closed my phone and stood up. "We'll see about that Otsuki. This is it. The real battle begins."

[Shokyo]: I control the story now, Senpai. I am God, but you insist on challenging me so let's see..how long you last.
