Blood Moon

Chapter 13

*Hiroshi's Pov*

We have everything set up.

The Moon was full and the night sky was red.

We started performing the Shibuya Hirasaka Ritual in order to bring the dead girl here. We all each started walking.

We need to keep our eyes peeled and be ready for anything. Which is why Kamishiro brought us talismans and holy water just to be on the safe side.

Manaka: "To hear of it's curse"..."To hear of it's worse"...

Yuma: "The depths of Shibuya"..."Is where we all must cross"...

So far, we're doing a good job, although Himeno looked like he was once again, having second thoughts.

Seiya: *Grumbles*...."When you feel alone, down you must go..."

We were reaching the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The traffic light looks like it was cooperating but I couldn't really tell because I needed to focus.

Me: "When you feel low, down you must go..."

Kaede: "At the bottom lies a secret, hidden world"..."But woe to thee, who finds the entrance there..."

Everyone: "For you to make it, you only meet despair..."

"YOU ONLY MEET DESPAIR"

.....

We were now in the middle of the intersection. We all made it here at the same time. Everything was still quiet as usual.

Manaka:....

Kaede:....

Yuma:....

Seiya:....

Me: So far...nothing is happening...

Kaede: I'm sure this is how the rumor goes...

Manaka: Don't worry, Kaede-chan. If I isn't, it probably was just a careless mistake. We still got time.

No...wait a minute...

Me: Guys...look around...

Like what I saw earlier when I was with Ruri.

Everyone else present, including buses and cars had all vanished.

The only thing we could see was the red sky and the buildings in front of us.

Manaka: What the...?!

Yuma: Where did...everyone go...?

Seiya: Looks like we lost contact with the outside world too. I can't call anybody.

Me: Don't bother...I tried doing that when Ruri was around...

Seiya: Oh no...

Himeno looked like he was ready to crap himself out of fear.

Seiya: Shibuya is never this quiet...this is giving me the creeps...

Kaede: It's happening...it's actually happening...

I can't really tell if she's afraid or excited. It was hard trying to read her expression of interest at the moment. But I guess maybe both...

I looked around waiting for this ghost girl to show herself.

So far, nothing...

But I knew...

This feeling...again...

I felt like I was being watched...

The five of us were not alone here...

That's when I saw...
