I thank the miracle that led me to You. (Haruka/Kanade)

Chapter 6 - Have I met you, Before?

She looked a tad stunned that I had asked that, "I don't think so? Though, I've felt that about you too." she seemed to be a little puzzled so I stopped hugging her to take a breather, and so she could think better. She paced around a little bit until she put her finger up, kind of like that one nerd emoji.....

"I've got it! Okay, so there's something I've neglected telling you about. My world has a Goddess that can control whatever she likes, but there had been another God before her. He was what my world calls 'The Sickness Awakening', because he would unleash incurable diseases and casually make the world a living hell. The Goddess then demoted him by beating him in a duel and became the ruler of our world and turned our world into a better place than before, but at points the old God had slipped through her fingers to cause chaos every once in a while. He also has the power to send others to other universes or worlds. I can't believe I had forgotten that important detail..." Haruka somehow managed to say this fast but also extremely slowly, she glanced at the book at the table and then looked back at me.

"Do you think... he sent me here? He would usually send some of the higher ranking people to different universes for no reason, or just because he didn't want the Goddess to help people." she looked at me as if I knew what was even happening right now "That could be the case, but did those people who were taken to other universes and worlds ever get back?" I looked at her with a puzzled expression because I think if I knew that answer it might help me more with getting her back, "I'm not quite sure... But I could've sworn I'd seen some people who looked like the ones who disappeared a couple of times, but when I talked to them they never seemed to recognize me, even one of my good friends who disappeared came back without remembering me.." Haruka looked a little down while saying that but I was a little focused on what she had said before, people not remembering after coming back to their world? That doesn't make any sense, Haruka remembered Minori perfectly, is it... "Is it because of the old God's magic? He might have erased the people's memories before they were sent back." Haruka looked at me and then thought for a moment, she nodded her head and then opened her mouth to speak, "That might be the case, however, we can't be too sure." I interrupted her to say and she seemed a little disappointed, "It's okay, we could go with that until we're proven wrong." I smiled at her and she smiled warmly back.

Thump

We then both nodded our heads and went our separate ways for a little while. I decided to go study more on the book, Haruka decided to go think and practice her magic. I'm not sure how this is going to work, but I'll try my hardest. I kept on reading the book and writing down notes in my journal, when out of nowhere I felt this strange feeling, something I've felt before. W-..why did I say those... Strange things to Haruka? I don't... I don't l... Love.... Her, right? I felt my face blush a little as I thought those words, I couldn't love Haruka, right? I feel weird now, and kind of sad in general. I should just keep on working on what I was doing. I skimmed through the book, yet my mind seemed to be blank with somebody... A dark blue short haired girl with a witch outfit on staring at me as she smiled, walking over to me I could feel my heart race as I saw her slowly move towards me. "Kanade? Are you alright? You seem to have passed out, you shouldn't stay up that late, this is what will happen if you don't take care of yourself." I awoke to see a girl with that exact same hair color and, face... Haruka. "Urgh... what happened?" I thought I was going to throw up, my head was racing with thoughts but the one aimed mainly at me was how did I end up in my bed, with Haruka looking down at me? "You passed out, this is probably due to you not taking care of yourself. I'm worried about you Kanade, you spend all this time trying to get me back to my home that you forget to spend time on yourself. Have you ever considered maybe I don't want to go home? I want you to get better, Kanade. But without me, I don't think you will. I-.. this whole situation is crazy I know and I'm well aware of it, but it's just that, I feel safe and happy around you, Kanade. When I wake up in the morning and see you sleeping beside me, I feel like I'm on top of the world, whenever I'm around you it makes me feel weird, but in a good weird way. You make me happy that I was ever brought here, you-... Kanade I'm not sure how to explain this but I think I'm in love with you!" .... I turned my stunned head to the girl sitting in a chair next to me in bed, she put her hands over her mouth and seemed surprised she had said all of that, I could feel my face turn red from.. I'm not even sure. "Uh-... I uhm, I didn't mean to say that..." Haruka looked embarrassed and she attempted to avert her eyes from me and cover her face as well. She tried to get up from her chair when I luckily grabbed her hand in time "...I think I do too.." I replied right as she was about to be near the door, she looked back in shock that I was able to just say that, but seemed relieved as well. "I'm.. not really sure but I think I've felt this way about you for a while. I think, we might've been made to meet each other." I could feel my face turn hotter by the second with each word, after I had said that I felt tears well up in my eyes, and a smile begging for an escape on my lips. I saw Haruka, the girl who I had met nearly a year ago, who was cool and clumsy, calm headed but still creative, start to cry. I felt her warm embrace that even though I've felt before, brought me with the sweetest feeling I've ever felt before. "Thank you, Kanade. I love you." she said while burying her happy tears into my shoulder, I could feel myself smile and cry a little as well, "I love you too, Haruka." We stopped hugging and looked at each other with tears in both of our eyes and smiled, "I thank the miracle that led me to you, Kanade."
