Epilogue
"Breaking news! Brought to you by Tenipuri News. Late this afternoon at 4:20 pm, two teenage males were said to be stumbling through the town of Desalot severely wounded. They have been identified to be Fuji Syuusuke, aged fifteen, and Marui Bunta, aged fifteen. Both are now unconscious and have been sent to the hospital. Reporter James has more."
"I'm right now at Desalot police station. This is the place where the teenagers had ended up at."
"Man, I was shocked! They both entered all bloody and collapsed right there at the entrance," the police officer said.
"According to Officer Sein, one of the boys had mentioned a word, 'Atobe', before blacking out. After further research, experts have found that Fuji and Marui were from Seigaku Gakuen and Rikkaidai Fuzoku respectively, and were on a training camp with Hyoutei Gakuen, one of which being Atobe Keigo. Police have been led to a villa owned by the Atobe family and discovered it completely burnt to ashes, many casualties were suffered. Only five survived; Yukimura Seiichi, Yagyuu Hiroshi, Atobe Keigo and Shishido Ryou, all aged fifteen and a male identified as Taki Watano, aged eighteen."
"Taki Watano is to be arrested for mass murder and Taki Himeka, aged sixteen, is to be found, also to be arrested for murder. There was another culprit, however, has perished in the fire, Taki Kenta, aged eighteen. Please report to the police if you have seen this girl."
"Thank you James. We'll come back to it when we get more information. Coming up next – "
25 years later
"The Hyoutei regulars are going to be using the villa for a training camp with Seigaku and Rikkaidai."
Atobe looked up from his newspaper and glanced at his son.
"Very well."
His son left his room and Atobe picked up a photo frame sitting on the table. There was a photo of all the Hyoutei regulars during their middle school, just before the horrible incident. Atobe's phone started to ring and he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Atobe, this is Yukimura speaking."
"What is it?"
"I'm assuming you've heard about the training camp?"
Atobe placed the photo frame back down and replied, "Yes."
"How's Shishido doing?"
"No improvements at all. I'm starting to wonder whether I should get a new psychologist."
"I see…ah! I have to go. I promised to visit Marui at the hospital."
"Mm, he just woken up a week ago didn't he? How's his condition?"
"Pretty good according to the doctor…but…you know." There was a pause. "Atobe, I'm really grateful to you for keeping Marui on life support for all these years."
"Mm…"
"Well, I'll talk to you again another day." Yukimura hung up.
Atobe sighed and placed the phone down.
Fuji was still in coma, Marui had woken up just a week ago but has a major gap in his life; he still thinks that he's fifteen years old and Shishido was suffering from the trauma. He, Yukimura and Yagyuu were living normal lives, but they all held a dark past. Nothing would ever be normal. Nothing would ever be the same.
Atobe rubbed his temples.
A training camp with Seigaku, Rikkaidai and Hyoutei…
Was history going to repeat itself?
A/N: I apologise for my pathetic excuse of a news report. I've already attempted it once in a one-shot of mine and I obviously didn't learn anything from it. Sorry for being too lazy to do prior research as to how news reports are laid out.
Thank you all for sticking with me throughout the whole story! Really, thank you so much! Those who have reviewed, favourited or alerted, I love you so much!
