BNHA: Dual Fates.

Chapter 44: Her Return!

In the darkness of her mind, Haru saw a quick flash of Hitoshi's face. Beautiful, purple eyes that were full of concern stared at her wide-eyed and mouth barely agape. Hitoshi... her faint voice, whispered and pained, echoed in her head as she remembered how amazing the vibrant colors were. The day before she ran away when her quirk developed those snake eyes and provided more of a clear view of her surroundings.

However, despite the environment around the stage, what kept her attention the most was his lovely purple eyes. She hated how fear-struck he looked when he was affected by her developed quirk, but it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen in her life.

It was hard to forget, to ignore. UV-Ray... once again, like a whisper, she spoke in her mind. Her dearest best friend tried very hard to get her to come back to U.A, with her pleas and cries. It all flooded back to her in one go, the darkness inside of her seemed to have finally subsided after suddenly being rendered unconscious.

My friends... one last time, her whispered words filled her mind with images of her classmates all gathering around her and laughing. Enjoying her company, being able to stay by her best friend's side, she could feel a single tear trickle down her tan cheek and felt soft fabric when her fingers clenched a sheet beneath her.

The sound of a heart monitor reached her ears the more her consciousness returned and those blind hues opened just barely, watered up from the tears that brimmed them. Her brown bangs didn't even cover her eyes, for she was lying in a hospital bed covered by a warm blanket; both arms were beneath it, hiding the tight grips on the fabric. The smell around her, the sounds, and the textures she felt, all indicated where she was.

Soon, the deaths of those heroes and innocent lives she took in the past and recently, came back to her. Har-Har couldn't prevent her lips from quivering and her breaths from being shaky, she did everything she could to hold back her tears. The bite of her lip helped a little, to keep it in place, but it still wasn't enough to hide how she felt.

More water leaked from her eyes and trailed down the sides of her face, soaking the pillow under her. The rough texture, and the smell, Haru knew that her wrists and ankles were bound by leather straps on the bed.

The overwhelming tightening of her throat made it almost hard to breathe, from how much she fought against crying, and the heat from her cheeks burned from the hot tears that fell. A few hicks would escape her shaky lips and the quivering of her tightly gripped hands was proof, of how unbearable it was to fight.

Not much longer, did a nurse come in and slide open the curtain around her bed, only to grow shocked at the sight. "Doctor!" quickly, out she ran and left the door open for a familiar cybergirl to peek inside.

Those blue eyes lit up with astonishment, as she gazed upon Haru who had just woken up, and saw those tears falling relentlessly. "Haru!" quickly, her feet sprinted across the floor, which seemed to perk up Hitoshi's, Kirishima's, and the other 1-A students' heads from her outburst.

Her small, pale hands reached for the brunette's one that was bound and gently wrapped them around it in hopes of easing any kind of fear. "I'm here now, Har-Har... I'm here now," the sound of her voice, Yukimura could tell that she was trying to comfort her and it seemed to have only made it worse.
