Fallen to the Anime World

Day 2: Kyoukai no Kanata

Just Like Him

Hotaru's POV

I was losing consciousness. The pain was excruciating I cannot take it anymore. Though thinking about what Miroku said fears me right now. What was he even talking about?

" Prepare to reveal your true self, Hotaru"

What does he even mean?

Who am I really?

Every second that passed as I thought of those, my vision was getting weaker and weaker.

"Hotaru!"

"Ya Hotaru!"

I kept hearing my name but as I lost consciousness, I heard nothing anymore. Pure silence. Once again.

I woke up.

I was lying down on the ground yet I could not remember anything. My vision was still blurry but I squinted my eyes and as seconds passed my vision was clear. I did not move for some reason. I couldn't move yet. The atmosphere was not in its usual color. It was mixed with smoke which made it have an ugly appearance. It felt so gloomy.

I lifted up my upper body so that I could carefully sit down and stand up without hurting myself. I was still weak but I was too curious to see what was wrong. As I stood up, I balanced myself so that I wouldn't end up on the ground once again. As I was doing so, I hit a small rock beside me. It startled me but not really.

"Ho-ta-ru?"

I immediately looked where that voice came from. I was shocked no not shocked. I was terrified at what I saw. All the trees were broken, some were on top of each other while others were scattered to pieces. Who could have done this?

There were large boulders everywhere as well. I was sweating. I was nervous though I did not know why. I looked at where I was and there I realized, it was not someone else's doings.

It was mine.

There was an enormous crater around me and I was perfectly in the center of it. I was trembling of fear of myself.

What am I?

"Ho-ta-ru"

There again. That voice.

I was shaking yet I looked around to see who it was.

Everyone else was unconscious.

And I saw him.

I saw Akihito, bleeding.

I was afraid now.

I looked at my hands and it was filled with blood. I started crying.

I ran up to him not minding the bumpy ground filled with rocks. As I finally arrived where he was sitting down, I immediately hugged him tightly. It was automatic though. I was too afraid of myself that I needed someone to hug. As I hugged him, I started sobbing, yeah not cry, sob. I could feel him not move which made me upset. I'm probably squishing him to tight and so I quickly backed away.

"Sorry. " I mumbled.

He was still bleeding yet it seems to be healing already. His school uniform is soaked with his blood yet it was not that severe to make him probably go insane like me.

He was still surely in pain and I had so much regrets. I didn't want to see anyone feel pain because of me. As I immediately thought of that I stood up quickly which startled him.

"Um wait. " I ran to Hiroomi in which was in the other side but as I saw him he was severely injured because of the blood on his chest and some splattered to his face. He was unconscious. Again, the guilt feeling started to flow through my veins once again.
