Look underneath the underneath

Chapter 8: Once again a demon

I awoke exhausted on a bed.

"So, I see you are rising from the fantasy you were put in?" The familiar man, my father, said. I clenched my hand and sat up.

" I can't accept that" I shouted"I-"

"-How long are you going to keep clinging to your dreams, boy?" The man said completely cutting me off."How pathetic are you? So selfish, wanting happiness and not caring about the people who you call 'the light'!" He shouted and I was to shocked to answer. He clenched his hand and glared at me."What kind of shadow are you!" I smirked.

"A very unique one and i'm not going to kill my friends." I said bluntly.

"Then" he brought out a knife"I'll have to kill you myself!" he ran towards me and I closed my eyes. I was ready. I was ready to die.

Am I really?

I clenched my hand, no hiroyuki would never take the easier way out. He would never do such a thing and fight with everything he has! I roared and pulled my fist back to punch the man. I could feel him being pushed back from my blow but I gritted my teeth when something pierced my stomach. Even though I eat people, I was still human. I panted, it was hard to breathe but...

"I won't die from something like this!" I stood up and glared at the man." I have people waiting for me after all!" I jumped out the window and ignored the , most likely, bruise on my shoulder which I used to cushion my fall. I was aware that there was some blood on my shirt, but I didn't care. I ran to the concert and ignored the people staring at me like i'm a mad-man. My heart was racing but honestly I couldn't care less about the human emotions I was feeling now. I kicked the door down and quickly changed into another t-shirt whilst using the blood strained one to wrap my wound.

"About time, kei!" Renzo said as I walked up to the stage.

"Sorry but" I grinned at everyone"let's not keep the crowd waiting now!" I started to play but was aware of the old man in the crowd. This would be the last time I would get to play, the last time I would ever see anyone, my light. I saw candy and itami cheering us on, as they weren't singing today.

I took a deep breath and moved onto the next song ignoring the bullet burying itself in my shoulder. I have to carry on, for them, for me.

Tell me, please tell me, what this plot is all about.. Exactly, who resides within me?
I'm broken, so broken - amidst this world. Yet you laugh, blind to everything.

Being as broken as I am, I hold my breath,
And it can't be unraveled, it can no longer be unraveled.. Not even the truth. (Freeze)
Breakable; unbreakable - psychotic; unable to go insane
I'll find you, and..!

I took a deep breath and clenched my hands.

In this shaken, twisted world, I gradually become transparent, unable to be seen.

Please don't bother looking for me; don't stare at me..
I merely don't want to hurt you, inside a world, that came out of someone's imagination.
So please remember me; as vivid as I was.

Infinitely spreading, solitude wraps around me. Memories of times I laughed innocently comes to mind,
And I can't move, can't move, can't move, can't move, can't move, I cannot move!
Unraveling the world

This, this pain in my heart-it hurts, it hurts so much. This feeling every time I think about it...

I've changed; I couldn't go back to the way I was.
As the two twines around one another, the both of us will perish away..
Breakable; unbreakable - psychotic; unable to go insane
I can't afford to let you be defiled!

I want to scream, scream to loud. I want someone to understand, understand my pain, my sadness, my world, my- there's that feeling again, it hurts.

In this shaken, twisted world, I gradually become transparent, unable to be seen.
Please don't bother looking for me; don't stare at me..
In a trap of solitude someone had set, before the future unravels,
Remember me; as vivid as I was.

Please don't forget me, don't forget me, don't forget me, don't forget me!

When I leave, will you forget me, everyone, hiroyuki?

Paralyzed by the fact that I've changed,
In a paradise filled with nothing but unrecoverable things,
Please remember me.

Tell me, please tell me.. Exactly, who resides within me?

I felt the bullet twist in my heart and I fell to the ground. Everything is fading. My home. My light. My happiness that I built. My family that was always with me, everything. I can hear, someone, somebody shouting, it sounds to familiar, I want to grasp it. I put my hand up and saw the light.

"I...don't want to see you all cry" I coughed out some blood."I don't want to see all of your smiles fall either so" I grinned at my light's. Renzo, rin, candy, itami and hiroyuki."I never had so much fun in my life and I don't regret it so please" I could feel tears fall on my face" please" My own was falling down my face"please" My voice cracked and I looked up at them, my light, my life."Don't ever lose the light...of your smiles!"

I, once again, could feel everything fading. Dreams. Fantasy, all the same thing. Me, I have lived my life and I have refused reality, I have refused fantasy and I have refused everything because-"-This is our life and we can choose which path we want!Nothing is a dream and we have refused to follow reality! We choose the ending and the beginning of our stories." I smiled, I have hope and I have faith. I have belief that everything will be alright for them.

And everything went black
