Monsters?

Chapter 2: Ajin?

The story line will be continuing in the same scenarios in the Anime. Half on the explanations of episode 3. Well, that should be an enough description, so I hope you guys will enjoy this~

Kei's POV...

Morning had arisen and I have woken up early than usual. Well I cant argue on my case, since a lot of things happened. The talk of the world, knowing my existence as an Ajin. The frightening thrills and exhausting chase from dangerous men. And the night after saving two unconscious teenagers. I still don't know if they're a threat but that'll come in time. Though it all happened so fast. The truck, my sudden accident. My first death. And my miraculous recovery from the dead.

I don't know if I can take this all behind me, even the thought of dying was beyond my limits of handling, I even resort to kill myself in order to heal my fractured legs. Still I can remember it so clearly. Kai was surprised to see me walking back up from the dead. His golden eyes tainted with surprise, almost not believing what he saw. But speaking about those two, are they awake yet?

Slowly rising from my rest place, I turned to the corner beds, looking upon two figures, snoring soundly without a hinge of pause. Guess they're still asleep then.

However though, it seems I wasn't the only one who woke up this early, Kai himself had prepared breakfast and was out again to get some needed items to go to Kyushu. Before saving the two that night, Kai and I decided to go there. Starting a new life, living peacefully with his grandfather. Since its a small village, according to him, they won't matter about Ajins living there plus even if the news had broadcasted about my payment capture, they won't know a thing how I look like. In that place, they have a minimum way of technology, no way of signal and no way of being found out, with that covered my identity is secured. But..

"Is there anything you want me to bring?" Kai asked me, his eyes never helding animosity towards me, but a kind and concerned look in his golden eyes. I took a pause on my thoughts and answered.

"a..toothbrush.." I don't know why I said that, but having high hygiene is a must. I bathe normally and brushing my teeth seemed normal for me to do.

"Ok.." he thrust a duffel bag on his shoulder, walking towards the door, sliding it with a creaking sound. But before he go, he lit up a smile towards me, assuring that I got nothing to worry, "I'll be back Kei.." and off he goes, hearing the motorcycles engine as it drove off. It was a peaceful silence as the sound vanish, natures songs surrounds the shed I was in. Birds was chirping in happy glee and the rustle of trees and bushes accompanying. Awaiting for his return, I sat at the corners ones more, my hands hugging my knees close to my chest, as my upcoming thoughts had risen in its wake for me to think about.

I've been thinking about death almost all day. Its not weird for me to hallucinate at this point but..Im not losing my head, right?

I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me or I have gone insane but this black, humanoid thing. Its been staring at me since I woke up and who knew I held back a gasp when I saw it. Well, this reason out why I woke up and taking this to note, Kai doesn't seem to notice it. Just what is this thing? Its even replying the words I'm saying.

Could this be one of the special abilities of an Ajin? I'm not certain enough that it is..

Hesitating I was to touch it, it vanished like sand. Disappeared from thin air. Like the dark ash of death as it dissipates out of nothingness. I wasn't sure how to react at this however, I let out an exhausted sigh, not only have I gone crazy, my head is throbbing me with a lot of things now. Debating the cause and effects as well as the aftermath of what could happen next.

In any case, I should think what I'll do from now on. To begin with, I cant bring Kai with me. Thats more than clear and thats out of the question if I want to get out of this mountain. Whats more, we have two strangers healing themselves up. They could pretend to sleep and capture me if thats whats going on. But those injuries...
