Butterfly's Curse

Unknown Place

Mifuyu, who has already closed his eyes, doesn't know how much time has passed since he passed out, nor does he knows if he's still alive. For some reason he doesn't remember closing his eyes, he only remembers trying with all his might not to close them, trying to fight against the drowsiness.

He wanted to keep on living.

He was still to young to die.

However, death doesn't care about something like that, it would come some day in your life time; no matter if you're young or old.

At some point Mifuyu was immersed in a deep, pitch-black darkness, it did not matter where he looked he only saw darkness. He knew he was still lying on the ground, because he could feel the cold, hard concrete beneath his body as the endless rain fell over him.

His body little by little started to feel numb until he didn't feel anything at all, even the unbearable pain started to cease.

I'm dying? The pain fading made him think.

But there was nothing he could do to stop his own death.

That's why he started to pray--to pray for someone to save him. The only one he could think of was the beautiful, human curse, he was the only one who crossed his mind and the last one he saw before passing out.

Would he hear his prayers?

Would he be able to save him?

In that moment a perfect name crossed his mind. He couldn't understand how he was able to think of a name in a moment like this, but regardless of that, he decided to call out to the beautiful, human curse saying that name.

"Yugen, please save me, I don't want to die yet..."

When he said those words a sound could be heard in the distance: a chiming sound. The chiming sound started to get louder with every second that passed, until the sound could be heard right in front of Mifuyu. When the sound stopped, he could feel Yugen's hand touching his head.

The hand of Yugen was so warm like the touch of a thousand golden rays upon his skin, that soon spread to his cold body making him feel alive. He started to feel at ease just feeling Yugen's warmth, and in just one second his worries faded away.

.....

When Miyufu opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful, crystal-reflecting sky. This sky can reflect like a mirror or water, reflecting what is beneath it. It looks so fragile that with a single blow it could be shattered into thousands of pieces.

Looking at the sky, he can see himself covered with blue butterflies, lying on a bed of blue and red leaves. Himself wasn't the only thing he could see in the sky, he was able to see red and blue trees all around him.

Mifuyu couldn't stop looking at the sky, he was amazed by the beauty of the sky and the beauty of this place. Never in his life had he seen something like this, so for a moment it made him think that probably he's dead.

'Could this be the place where people arrive after dying?'

Pushing that thought away, Mifuyu decided to stand up. The moment he started to stand up, the blue butterflies started to fly away, flying in one direction. He still has his eyes fixed on the sky when the butterflies flied away, noticing that the blood and the wound on his head has vanished.

Not believing what his eyes were seeing, he touched his head feeling with the tip of his fingers that indeed the wound has vanished like he has never been injured in the first place, even the wound on his left side of his waist had disappeared!

Before the blue butterflies disappeared from his sight, he decided to follow them -- he thought that maybe they would lead him to the young man who saved his life.
