Welcome to My Haze

'What… it's so dark here….' I opened my eyes to see a hazy blackness around me. "Ayano?" I yelled into the darkness. "Ayano, where are you!?" I screamed louder, standing up to run. I was immediately yanked back by bondages on my wrists, legs, and abdomen. "What the… Ayano!!!" I screamed louder, frantically pulling at the black cloth that was wrapped around my limbs. "Oi, will you shut the hell up, you're much louder then a lot of the other boys that come here," a voice said in the Haze. "Who are you? Where's Ayano!?" I continued to yell. "I…. said… SHUT THE HELL UP!" The voice thundered, suddenly yanking me up and keeping my suspended by the bindings on my wrists, ankles, and abdomen. I made an awkward noise as I felt the rough tug. "Now," he said, his head resting on his arms that he has sprawled across my chest, "who are you?" 

"My name's Shintaro, now have you-" "Seen a girl with long black hair, a crimson scarf with matched crimson clips, and a black school uniform named Ayano?" the boy smiled an inhumanly wide smile. The boy slid off me and started laughing loudly, making me myself feel like I was slowly going insane. He breathed in sharply and laid across my chest, looking up at me with yellow eyes that cut into me like a thousand knifes."Yeah, I seen her around here. Cute little thing, you're lucky," he said, slowly sitting up and wrapping his legs around my hips. "And her eyes were delicious," he smiled, slipping out his crimson tongue and licking his lips. 

He laughed again, sliding off me and swinging me back and forth. "You might see here again, but I've been watching you two and I was rooting for your end the whoooole time from the moment she first took your hand to when she wrapped that scarf around you," he smiled. "Don't talk about her that way!" I yelled. "Oh, you think that I care? Hahaha, life's just one faded snare," He laughed again, backing up from me. I felt my bindings pull at me roughly, almost splitting my body apart. "Welcome to horrible, fictional reality!" he said, his voice sounded like it was from up above. 

'Where's Ayano… I miss her more then ever.' I grit my teeth as the bindings continued to pull at me. Suddenly, they all stopped and I fell, stopping inches from the floor. "Sorry… my little pet has me worked up today, he said softly, coming back into view. "Now, please tell me I didn't scare you too bad, I still like you. Here, I'll tell you my name, I'm Konoha," he said, sitting down next to me. "Why am I here?" I managed to ask. "Oh, I forgot to welcome you! Welcome to the Haze, this is my domain where people who killed themselves for selfish reasons come which is pretty much all the time, although I haven't gotten to eat very much cause I've been working on my pet," Konoha smiled widely again. 

"But what I did wasn't selfish," I argued. "Oh of course not, no one ever thinks they died in vain but the truth of the matter is that you died because you couldn't have the girl  you wanted," Konoha said annoyed. I stopped, looking up at him. "Although, I don't see why you would want her, you could always stay here with me in the Haze and I could keep you as my cute little pet," Konoha smiled, fantasizing with a goofy grin spread across his face. "Why would I want that!? Ayano's perfect! I just… didn't see it," I said loudly, slowly becoming sad as I finished.

"Alriiiiiight, but just remember, you're in MY bindings," he stood up, starting to walk away as he held up his arms, exposing the long strands that came from his black jacket and seemed to go up into eternity where my bondages came from. I noticed now he was wearing a straight jacket that had all the straps undone and were surfing up into the Haze. He pulled one of his arms down, causing one of my arms to jolt up. "See?" he smiled wickedly, looking over his shoulder. "You're my little puppet," Konoha cackled, walking off into the black Haze.
