Fallen to the Anime World

That same night

Akihito's POV

As soon as Hiroomi and I left Hotaru to rest, it took us some time before we saw who attacked Hotaru.

The person was completely enveloped in dark aura, I couldn't recognize who the person was but whoever has done that to Hotaru will pay.

"It's there. " I whispered to Hiroomi.

Hiroomi beside me took a ready stance and removed his scarf off of his neck and prepared to attack.

Our plan was that I'd come from the back and strangle the person and prevent it from moving so that Hiroomi could attack it coming from the front and knock it down.

It was a risky yet a plan worth trying.

I nodded at Hiroomi giving him a signal that I was ready to go behind the person and he nodded as well.

We both parted ways sprinting to our positions.

As soon as I got to my place my breathing started to get heavy and I was sweating so much due to nervousness.

I closed my eyes for awhile trying calm down.

I counted.

1... 2... 3!

I charged forward as quick as possible and jumped and strangled the person right in front me.

As I was doing so I screamed.

"GO HIROOMI!"

I continued strangling her and I caught sight of Hiroomi charging forward, arms ready, he attacked with his scarf but before he could land a hit on our target I heard the person say,

"Unpleasant. "

I froze.

Memories of my time spent with Kuriyama-san started to flow in my head and due to the delay, Kuriyama-san turned around and quickly kicked me far back giving me a small time to block myself.

"Agh!" I hit the wall and black dots started to form in my vision. I fight back.

I see Hiroomi fighting with Kuriyama-san yet I couldn't hear anything. My hearing went off.

Kuriyama-san was too strong for Hiroomi.

He dodged a few attacks yet the ones that landed on him was strong enough to weaken him and show his weakness more to Kuriyama-san.

Kuriyama-san kicked him in the stomach and left Hiroomi unconscious lying down on the ground.

"Shit. Shit. Shit. This is all my fault!" I hated myself. This can't be happening.

I have to stop her but I can't move.

Then suddenly I saw Hotaru appearing behind Kuriyama-san with a metal object with her. I knew it. She was about to hit her from behind but it was too risky. I couldn't allow Hotaru to do such thing. We are trying to remove the darkness from Kuriyama-san not her life!

I couldn't allow Hotaru to kill the person I've loved for so long.

"HOTARU STOP!" I screamed my lungs out.

Hotaru's POV

I stopped.

Akihito was conscious and with that Kuriyama-san reacted by turning around and facing me.

Oh shit. 

She attacked me with her blood sword and I reacted by using the metal object to clash against hers. With all my power, by swinging my weapon upward, I was able to remove her weapon from her hands.

She kicked my hand in response disarming me with my own weapon.

She's strong. I thought.

Without giving me the time to react, she violently grabbed my neck and raising me up preventing me to breath. 

"Gah!" I tried to release myself from her grip but every second she was tightening her grip around my neck even more.

I was out of ideas.

Then suddenly, Makoto's words struck me.

"Sometimes you don't know what you can actually do before you try."

"Sometimes you don't know what you can actually do before you try."

"Sometimes you don't know what you can actually do-"

"I got it! I don't give a shit if it's reckless."

Kuriyama-san's grip was so tight I couldn't breath at all anymore. 

This is my last chance.

Akihito's POV

"STOP! please stop!" I tried to scream those words out but none came out.

Hotaru's going to die.

This is my fault. She could have hit her awhile ago already but because of my stupidity she's going to die. 

She can't die. 

I tried to move but my body was like cement it was too heavy to lift.

"FUCK THIS!"

I looked up to them once more and I was... scared.

Hotaru looked at me, with so much sadness in her eyes, and gave me a weak smile.

I didn't know what she was going to do but I knew it wasn't good.

She then raised her arm and with full force, she hit Kuriyama-san on the chest and suddenly the black aura surrounding Kuriyama-san started to disappear. It was starting to swallow Hotaru's hand.

No. Don't do this. Hotaru..

Hotaru started to be pale and I could see from her eyes that it was causing her so much pain... but she didn't allow this to stop her. She continued removing the darkness from Kuriyama-san.

"HOTARU STOP!" I screamed.

I was no longer stopping her from killing Kuriyama-san. 

I was stopping her from killing herself for Kuriyama-san.

And then the darkness was gone.

And so was Hotaru.

Heeeeeeeey! I know. It was dramatic. Oh god I can't even count the months that I skipped from writing a new chapter. I am so sorry! For some reason academics removed all the ideas I had in my head for the following chapters and it sucks. So I will try my best to make a good one and continue writing new chapters as soon as possible! Thanks guys!
