After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back Chapter 279 278 Possessiveness
Kagura Hikaru stood in the room, frowning as he watched the girl nad Kiryu Hina leave.
After all, he had lived through two lifetis, and even though he had lost three years of mories, he had lived a total of twenty years when combining both lives.
While still not fully mature, he certainly couldn't easily believe the one-sided words of a stranger.
Ayakoji Chiyoko was undoubtedly his girlfriend. How could that be fake?
He could easily recall every little mont they spent together, going to school together, dating outside, practicing in the drama club...
Hiss!
Kagura Hikaru suddenly clutched his head, suffering from a splitting headache.
"No good, are you having an attack again? Sit down quickly." Ayakoji Chiyoko had just shut the door and turned around when she saw Kagura Hikaru holding his head in agony. She hurriedly took his hand down to prevent him from pulling off the bandage and helped him sit on the bed.
"Are you thinking about the past again?"
"Mhm..." Kagura Hikaru gripped her hand tightly, managing to squeeze out a smile, "Just accidentally."
"Do you want so painkillers?"
"No need, it'll pass if I endure it."
"Clear your mind, don't think too much. How about watching so TV?" Ayakoji Chiyoko comforted as she patted his back.
Since waking up in the hospital, every ti Kagura Hikaru tried to rember the details of his past, he would suffer a headache - the cause was unknown, and the doctors hadn't found any symptoms either.
This also ant that Kagura Hikaru often needed sothing to distract his attention.
In the hospital, it was the TV in his room; at ho, it was playing video gas. Without these distractions, he would suffer headaches two to three tis a day.
One ti, he even nearly fell down the stairs.
This was why everyone believed he shouldn't go to school, and even his stepmother indulged his daily play at ho.
It was clear that he was not fit to go out.
Ayakoji Chiyoko picked up the remote control, turned up the volu on the TV, and switched to a docuntary channel, which was conveniently airing scenery from Wakayama Prefecture.
Watching the high blue skies and beautiful mountain landscapes on TV, Kagura Hikaru's headache gradually eased, and he apologetically released Ayakoji Chiyoko's hand, "Sorry, did I hurt you just now?"
"It's alright."
Ayakoji Chiyoko smiled at him.
Kagura Hikaru returned the smile.
But his emotions were in chaos.
Every ti he tried to recall the details of the past, the pain prevented him from rembering anything.
For instance, he could rember that in middle school he and Chiyoko attended the sa school and were in the sa club.
But if he tried to think of the na of his own desk mate or what the other club mbers looked like, Kagura Hikaru's head would start to act up.
It was as if his own body was protesting, not wanting to rember those things.
Yet this ti, sothing different occurred.
In his mory, the face of another girl erged.
It was none other than Kiryu Hina, whom he had just t.
...What on earth is going on?
He was sure that he didn't know her, so why would she appear in his past mories?
Could it be due to the residual impression from before?
Or is it...
Glancing sideways at Ayakoji Chiyoko's smiling face, doubts began to form in Kagura Hikaru's heart.
Then, the headache struck again.
This wasn't good; he was thinking too much again.
"Does it hurt again?"
"Sorry... could you get so painkillers..."
"I'll get them right now."
Ayakoji Chiyoko sprang to her feet, intending to go downstairs to fetch so dicine.
But as she turned away from Kagura Hikaru's gaze, her face suddenly darkened.
Kagura Hikaru began to recall events more frequently.
No matter the pain, one eventually becos accustod to it with enough experience.
What if, after many attempts, Kagura Hikaru truly found inconsistencies in his mories?
Her identity would be exposed.
Damn it, it was all Kiryu Hina's fault! If she hadn't co here speaking nonsense, Kagura Hikaru wouldn't have started questioning his own mories.
And judging by her actions today, she was unlikely to let it rest and would cause more trouble for them in the future.
Predictably, not just Kiryu Hina, but Kohinata Motoyo would surely join in too, those two had been colluding since the cultural festival.
...No, this way they were bound to be exposed eventually.
She would have to create more problems for them, to keep them so busy they wouldn't have ti to pay attention to her agenda.
Under the cover of her bangs, Ayakoji Chiyoko's eyes emitted a murky light.
She opened the door and went downstairs.
In the room, Kagura Hikaru who had been pressing his forehead, heard Ayakoji Chiyoko leave, imdiately stood up, swayed and nearly fell, but quickly steadied himself.
Battling the headache, he rushed to the desk, grabbed his phone that was on it, and started flipping through the photo album.
He rembered taking quite a few photos with Ayakoji Chiyoko in the past.
If he could find that one, he could prove that what Kiryu Hina said was false, and that he and Chiyoko were a real couple!
Kagura Hikaru opened the photo album on his phone and glanced through it rapidly.
There weren't many photos in the album, a quick glance revealed a few landscape pictures, his class schedule, blackboard notes, a few incomprehensible forms... but not a single picture with people in it.
This wasn't right, there was no reason for him to delete photos with his girlfriend.
Had he gone mad before his mory loss?
Or had soone tampered with his phone...?
With his left hand braced on the desk, Kagura Hikaru's eyes slightly widened as he looked at his phone, a cold sweat breaking out on his back amidst the splitting headache.
"Kagura? What are you doing?"
Ayakoji Chiyoko's puzzled voice suddenly ca from behind him.
With a reaction speed that surprised even himself, Kagura Hikaru put the phone back in its place, casually picked up a ga controller from the desk, turned around towards Ayakoji Chiyoko, lifted the controller, and laughed, "I thought... play so gas. Watching TV doesn't seem to work well."
"That's fine too, but you should take your dicine first," she replied.
Ayakoji Chiyoko wasn't suspicious at all, she walked up to the desk with a glass of water and a pill bottle, handed Kagura Hikaru a pill, and then offered to help him drink the water.
"No need, no need, I can do it myself," Kagura Hikaru quickly took the glass from her.
"Why be so formal? I'm your girlfriend, taking care of you is what I should do."
"Thank you...," he said.
Using drinking water as cover, Kagura Hikaru stealthily observed her from the corner of his eye.
Chiyoko imdiately noticed this and smiled.
Kagura Hikaru raised his eyebrows at her and looked away.
He knew he shouldn't be doubting his girlfriend.
But with so many doubts before his eyes, he couldn't help but be affected by them.
Once the seed of suspicion is planted, it's destined to break through the soil.
With a concern for the future, Kagura Hikaru drank a whole glass of water mixed with the pill in one go, then, with a hearty gesture, put down the glass and smiled at Ayakoji Chiyoko, "Let's play a ga, I found a new one for two players."
"Sure," Ayakoji Chiyoko smiled.
Kagura Hikaru bent down and searched for another controller in the large drawer at his feet.
He was completely unaware that a pair of eyes was watching him intently from behind.
The reflection in those murky eyes was possession.
