Ghost Age Shadow (GAS)

“Misaki, cry if it can make you relieved.”

– Hiroshi –

Misaki, one of the students at Arashi University majoring in Medicine in Sakura Country has supernatural powers that are obtained accidentally. Now he has a guide in his life to use his power called Ghost Age Shadow or commonly abbreviated as GAS. Misaki names her GAS Kuro-chan.

“Kuro, how many people have this power?”

“Not much. In Japan there are only five, one of which is you, Misaki,” GAS replied.

Hearing that, Misaki so thought of something, “Can GAS users see other people's GAS?” and Kuro-chan answered the question.

 

“Just for me to ask, he can only repeat what I have said,” Misaki passed with disappointment.

Japan is again covered in snow, slippery roads. Misaki goes to campus in thick clothes escorted by her GAS. Along the way to campus, she has to fight with snow that covers part of the road with a thickness of more than five centimeters.

“Aki, long time no see. I miss you,” Mitsuha again surprised her.

“Iya, I also ka .. ngen,” Misaki stopped for a moment and her eyes focused on the shadow behind the wall of Marketing majors.

“What just?” ask Misaki

“What's up, Aki?”

Misaki did not answer Mitsuha's question. Misaki just saw someone else's GAS. He wanted to pursue GAS, but it seems that if on campus he would not be able to move freely.

 

After finishing college, Misaki traced the entire campus corridor looking for the GAS she had seen, but the results were nil. There is not a single sign of\-sign of the presence of GAS around it. He decided to go home soon. Just before he stepped away, he saw a black shadow behind the wall that was watching Misaki.

“Who is your owner!” yell Misaki.

There's no answer. Misaki was forced to use the power of her eyes.

“Me!” Misaki grinned and immediately ran to block the owner of GAS he saw.

“Lho, Mitsuha? What are you doing here? Didn't you come home?” Misaki does not feel suspicious at all with Mitsuha.

“Aki, what are you doing here too? I was waiting for the teacher, he said he wanted to meet. I want to protest against the value we got yesterday. We have done everything, even we are willing to face death, but what do we get?” Mitsuha muttered in a smoldering tone with her left hand clenched and right hand showing the B – they got.

Misaki chuckles. Just this time he saw Mitsuha's ridiculous behavior. Misaki had almost forgotten the GAS she had just seen. He had to hurry before the owner left.

 

“Woi, you don't just shut up, search there too!” misaki GASES hers, Kuro.

“Aki? You're in drama practice or something, ‘ right? Don't scare me,” said Mitsuha frightened by the behavior of her friend.

Misaki forgot one thing. Mitsuha could not see GAS. Misaki lies that she is upset, so Mitsuha does not suspect her, and then she passes by.

 

Misaki comes home on foot alone, tracing each path in a blanket of snow. On the way, he saw the GAS he saw on campus. He rushed after with snow-blocked footsteps. Slow movement. Misaki struggled after GAS without a care of the thick snow, without a care of the piercing cold. He only wanted one thing, there was a fellow GAS user and was willing to share information about all the strange forces that were happening to him.

“Stop, please stop!” yelled Misaki who was almost out of breath.

GAS owners stopped. At first Misaki hesitates to greet him, but due to her strong will, she gathers courage and approaches the GAS user. Misaki patted the user's shoulder so that he would look at Misaki who was in confusion.

“Ma-sorry, can we talk for a moment, Sir?” how shocked Misaki, the GAS user turned out to be an old grandfather with a boy band-style outfit.

“Don't worry, it's just a mask. What do you want to talk about, beautiful?” Flirtatious!

“Beauty,” muttered reflex with mouth open and eyes wide.

The man smiled faintly at Misaki's words.

Misaki was bowed in front of the guy so shy. His face turned red, he did not dare to look at the man. “God, I'm afraid of falling in love,” whispers his heart so dramatic.

 

“Misaki, we have to move from here, there are many people.” Only one question echoed in Misaki's mind. How does this handsome guy know his name? Definitely stalker.

“How do you know my name? Oiya, whose name are you?”

“Agot rude! How do you not know my name, the most handsome guy at Arashi University, the most popular, Hiroshi.”

“What! Arashi U-university? How come I never heard your name called, let alone saw you. He said popular, rather suspicious,” said Misaki, hand taped to his chin and looking at Hiroshi with a suspicious look.

Hiroshi showed a relaxed expression, and his sharp glances and mainstay style. Biting the lower lip that can make anyone who looks at him fascinated.

“What are you doing?” Really cold chick. Just this time there is a girl who does not nosebleed look at her mainstay style. Is she a girl or not, anyway? But that's not the point of this story.

Hiroshi and Misaki go in search of a deserted place to immediately chat GAS and the supernatural power they possess. Hiroshi leads Misaki towards a park that has not been open to the public for a long time because of a tragedy that occurred inside the park, a murder.

“Hiro, where are we going? How quiet is the place, huh?”

“We want to find a quiet and safe place to immediately ...,” Hiroshi faces Misaki, looks at her sharply and grabs her shoulders. His face was approaching for a long time, only a difference of five centimeters.

Misaki was shocked, her face was red. He spontaneously pushed Hiroshi, “Mesum!”

“Hahaha, kidding. We will find a quiet place so that we are free to talk about GAS and our strength. Come, hurry. And one more thing, I will repay you for what you did. I will push you harder and you will bend your knees in front of me,” he said with a sharp glare and a grin.

There's no time to be afraid now. Misaki should know the origin of GAS and the power he possesses. The journey is getting worse. Along the path of the park there is not a single colored one. All the scenery is bleak, even the snow is not there to stop here.

 

“Misaki, you know, this place was the scene of a murder five years ago. Not a single person dared to enter this region. Why do you want to follow me, the person you just met. Really, you really\-really a fool.”

“Thanks for the compliment. The curiosity I have is greater than my fear now. That's what makes me trust people who are related to my desires. I was a fool, so I needed someone else who would make me smart. Am I wrong?”
