"You say a disturbance in reality? What would this imply?" Balks asked as Deus looked down at him.
"It seems a portal has opened from the second session. This should no longer be possible since our sessions were disconnected but I am drawing weaker by the day and my powers will no longer keep our worlds separate by mere force. Our game is in session which poses a serious problem." Muru Muru ran to his side, computer in hand.
"The connection between our worlds has been severed. It seems that the gate was a onetime deal." Balks looked to the screens behind him as the new contestants continued to struggle.
"So he plans to stay then?" He pushed up him glasses with a grin. "Interesting…"
Mirai Nikki – Beyond Limits
Chapter 1
Aru sat on the rail near the grass filled hill. His eyes stuck to Amano as him and his girlfriend as they laughed down by the waterside. "Yukiteru… I don't understand it myself but I seem to find I am unable to leave your sight. What spell did you cast over these eyes."
"Peaceful, isn't it?" Aru looked up to see a girl standing behind him. She slowly walked over to him and took a spot on the rail.
"I don't mean to sound rude but what are you doing here?" Aru asked in a friendly tone. The girl smiled as a small blush appeared.
"The same thing you are…" He looked back over to Yuki. A soft smile appeared as he rose from his spot.
"I was just admiring the scenery on this gorgeous day God has blessed us with." The girl's smile was soft and weak. Behind it sat sadness.
"I don't understand it… but when I see him I feel this warmth inside. The warmth vanishes and leaves mew with this pain and sadness…" The girl lays her head in her arms. Aru held out a hand and she looked up, curious.
"If it hurts then walk away. Keep walking until that warmth returns without the pain." The girl smiled as she nodded. She took his hand as he helped her up. "I'm Aru Akise."
"Yuno Gasai." They shook hands. Their meeting was cut short but a loud scream below them. Their eyes both bolted towards Yuki. His girlfriend slowly backed up as Yuki froze in terror. A dark cloaked boy fell from the sky as he drew closer to Yuki. His hand reached out and grabbed him by the neck. Yuki struggled as the boy began to raise him. His feet dangled from the ground as he tried to struggle in the grasp.
"If I kill you I can take your place in this world. Just like Yuno did before." His darkened eyes pierced through Yuki as fear shot through him. Aru reached for a pocket knife as he drew the blade, sliding down the hill towards Yuki. A static appeared from his side as a knife cut through the boys arm causing him to let go of Yuki. Yuki gasped, his eyes stuck to the cloaked boys.
"Don't just sit there, run!" Aru said as he pushed the knife deeper. Yuki nodded as he got to his feet and began running. The boy lowered his arm as he looked Aru in the eyes.
"Aru? What are you doing here?" He looked over his shoulder to see Yuno standing at the top of the hill, petrified. "She's scared… She was never scared before… Is it me she's afraid of?" Aru removed the knife as he backed away. The boy dashed into the shadows under the bridge as he vanished completely.
"Just now… I swear I saw-"
"Aru!" Yuno cried out as she slid down the hill. "Are you okay?" He nodded as he looked at the knife. His eyes narrowed.
"I know I stabbed him… So why is there no blood?" Yuno looked at him weird as he ignored this for now.
"Ex-excuse me…" They both turned to see Yuki standing before them as a small blush ran across his face. "Thank you… for saving me." Aru hid his own excitement as he nodded with a kind smile.
"Are you hurt?" He asked as Yuki shook his head. The image still burned in his mind. "Why don't you come back to my place to calm down? It's not far from here." He nodded as Aru turned to Yuno. "How about it?" She nodded with a smile as she looked behind Yuki.
"Where'd the girl go?" Yuki looked behind him and shrugged.
"She must have been scared off. I'll send her a text." He pulled out his phone as Aru and Yuno both stared at it. Yuki looked up. "Something wrong?" He asked as they both shook his head.
"A slight feeling of Déjà vu is all." They arrived at the empty house as Aru let them in. "The washroom is down the hall to the right if you want to freshen up. I'll make us something to eat." Yuki nodded as he removed his shoes and made his way down the hall.
"It's strange…" Aru looked over to Yuno. "It's the first time talking to Yuki but I feel like I've known him forever…" Yuno helped out in the kitchen as Yuki lay flat on Aru's bed. He stared at the ceiling as his consciousness drifted away.
"This room… It feels familiar…" He looked around the dark room filled with manga and machinery. A small dark skinned girl walked up to him. "Hi there." He said as she smiled up at him.
"Amano Yukiteru… What are you doing here?" The girl asked as Yuki shrugged. His eyes opened wide as Yuno knocked lightly on the door.
"Yuki?" He looked back up at the ceiling before sitting up.
"Come in." he said as Yuno slowly opened the door. She peeked inside, completely red in the face.
"Food's ready…" He nodded with a smile as she quickly dashed down the stairs.
"Muru Muru, what is it?" Deus asked as she looked over to him.
"Yukiteru, the one destined to become the first diary holder was here…"
