Under the Moonlight~(Komahina)

Chapter 31~Somebody I Used to Know...

Nagito's POV:

As Fuyuhiko ties me up, I sigh a little and glance over at him, "You...didn't kill her...did you...?" I ask, him staying quiet as he finishes up. He gets up, sighing some as he walks away from me and back to Peko. I look back down. My eyes still hurt from crying...just the thought of her being dead makes me upset. We...just became real friends...I didn't want to lose her so soon...I sigh a bit to myself. I hope to god that Chiaki's still alive...if she's not...I start tearing up again.

Peko looks my way and sighs some, "This is hard to watch..." she says, making me look over at her. "Why are you a part of this Peko...? Why...? We were friends...why would you work for the hunter?!" I ask, feeling a mix of angry and upset. She looks down some, staying quiet. Why won't they speak to me...? It's so frustrating, but at the same time kinda concerning...I wonder if they were told to stay quiet and not talk to me once we got here...I sigh some. I...wonder what made them want to join up with the hunter...there must be a reason...

I look around the place I'm currently being held in. It's kinda like a cottage, except it just has one room door and the only things in the living area outside that door are a large desk with random stuff on it and a large rug that's underneath that desk...it's also not very lit up in most places, which gives off a creepy vibe. I look back at Peko and Fuyuhiko. Currently, it's just me and those two here...the hunter isn't...I look over at the room door. I'm assuming that whoever this person is must be in there...I sigh some. I can't stop thinking about what Izuru said...

~"The moment you meet them...you'll know exactly who they are."~

I hate the thought that...the hunter is someone I know...to be honest...in this situation I'm more curious then scared right now. I already know what's gonna happen to me, so I'm not really afraid...I just want to know who the hunter is. I snap out of my thoughts when I hear the room door open, a black hooded figure leaving the room. It looks like I'm about to find out...I watch as the figure walks towards me, "Who are you...?" I ask, the figure staying quiet, "Why are you after this necklace...? Is it because of Izuru...?" They continue to stay quiet, frustrating me some, "Say something!" I say, the figure starting to laugh. This is starting to irritate me...

"It's been a long time Nagito...~" the figure says, taking off the hood to reveal...someone I never expected I'd see. My eyes widen some, "M-Mom...?" I say, her smiling some. "My son...~" she says as she walks up to me, kneeling down and giving me a hug, "I've missed you so much hun~" I start to tear up some, leaning my head on her shoulder. I'd hug her back, but I'm...tied up...realizing this I lean my head off her and scoot away, her letting go of me as I do, "Why...are you here...?" I ask, her sighing a bit and standing back up. "You should already know why..." she says, making me look down some. Why...why does it have to be you...

"Why...?" I say, tearing up some and giving her an angry look, "Why do you want Izurus power?! What do you need it for!? You know that...if you do this..." "Oh I'm well aware...I wouldn't do it if I didn't need it...I wish that the sacrifice would've been someone else, but...it had to be you." She says, interrupting and looking away from me, "Why did you have to be the one he fell in love with..." I blush a bit. He...really did fall in love with me...she confirmed it...~

I smile some to myself. To be honest...I took a chance coming here. The ritual needed a sacrifice to release Izurus power...and that sacrifice...has to be the person the current holder of his power truly loves. I...I guess you could say I didn't do this just to get rid of Izuru...a part of me wanted to figure out if Hajime's feelings towards me were true. There could've been the possibility that there was someone else he loved, but there wasn't...I'm so glad...~ "Why are you smiling...?" Peko asks, making me look over at her, "You realize that you have to die right...?" I laugh some, "I know, but knowing that the person Hajime truly loves is me...makes me happy...~" I say, looking back at my Mom, "You knew...that's why you and your lackeys were targeting me...you wouldn't have if it was someone else..."
