I was falling….falling….into darkness…..
Like any other day, I was aware that I was dreaming but for some reason, I couldn't do anything about it today, I was falling down into a black pit full of darkness, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to wake up but I'm trying to do it.
I was hearing some whispers in the bottomless darkness but I couldn't understand what they were saying, this is weird as hell, after some time I realized that the darkness were in fact the shadows of a person, as strange as that sounds, It really looked like a girl though.
Finally I was reaching the bottom, the shadows open up a bit, a white circle appear at the bottom and my body was going to crash in that circle at full speed, Even though it was a dream, I was fearing for my life like a madman, maybe I'm going a little crazy thanks to this dreams, as I was quickly getting closer to the end of this pit, I finally understood what the voices were saying all this time.
''Hachi-kun!'' Huh? If I remember correctly, I was called that by that person…..the only one I never imagined would try something like that…. What was it that she did….again?
I cannot remember, what happen to my real body, to the real me? How do I know that something happen to me but I can't remember what?
I did a flip in the air and get on the white circle without much problem, the shadows slowly were reveling their true form, one I've grown accustomed seeing every day.
''Yukinoshita…'' So you were the one who have been giving me these bad dreams all the time.
The shadows of Yukinoshita looked at me with eyes full of…. Where is that look coming from? I've never seen someone looking at me like that, I was unconsciously getting scarier by the seconds, this is a dream, I keep repeating myself that, wishing for this to end, for waking up in the real world and figuring out what the hell is happening.
They slowly were getting closer and closer to me, I didn't want them to touch me, this is getting weirder and weirder, a dream turning quickly into a nightmare, one of the Yukinoshitas grabbed me from behind, hugging me in a prison-like hug, she began putting her head in my shoulder and….SMELLING ME?!
OKAY OKAY, this is getting wayyyyy too creepy now, what the hell is happening here?! , but I didn't have time to be thinking that because three more Yukinoshitas grabbeb me from the front, left and right respectively, another one reach out for my hair, they were touching me all over, but every time I tried resisting against it, they were strengthening their grip on me, they weren't letting go any time soon, I was suffocating and slowly losing my conscience or whatever it is that is your mind on dreams.
''I finally catch you Hachi-kun, I'm never letting go again okay?'' That was the last whisper I heard before my mind close to darkness once again…
I Woke up completely freak out, I know that I dreamed something but I can't remember what exactly, no, It wasn't a dream, I don't know what it was but it was sure as hell a nightmare. After sighting a bit, I began looking around my surroundings, I wasn't in my house, that's for sure; This place definitely isn't my room, I woke up in blue mattresses, but the ceiling was weird, there was a poster of me sleeping in the ceiling….
WAIT WHAT?!
I quickly try to get up but my hand got caught on something, in my hand I found a plushy, that was pretty normal you may think and you're right unless the plushy have the appearance of FREAKING ME!
I don't remember approving a company to make Hachiman merchandise, there were several plushies of me, a huge dakimakura of me, a lots of photos on the walls, where the hell am I?!
And that's when the memory of yesterday rushed into my mind suddenly, of course, the messages from Hayama, Yuigahama falling asleep on me, the drug that Yukinoshita put on my drink and the weird line she utter before I got sleep, Hachi-kun? Where did that come from? Was I wrong all this time? Should I have listen to Haruno-san and Hayama? Even though they took their time trying to warn me… I won't be a fool and try to think of this as a misunderstanding, I mean, if it was a misunderstanding, all this weird 8 merchandise wouldn't be here, see what I did there? 8? You know like, in my name? Well I'll just shut up for now.
I was still in my suit but the coat disappeared, I only got my pants, the tie and the dress shirt. The only new thing was that in my wrist, I got some weird bangle, it was silver, clearly made from metal and it have a digital screen that display ''My Hachi-kun''
''What the hell is this?'' For some reason, the bangle remind of a dog's collar, this weird nickname again though
I was getting scared by the seconds, I try to remove the bangle but this was clearly sealed, maybe some kind of tool will help me? I was about to leave the room when I notice something on the closet, the closet look a bit too big for a normal apartment, if I'm still in her apartment, I'm not exactly sure about that but for now I should open this, something move, I know I didn't imagine it.
I reached one of the doors of the closet but before opening, Something inside me told me that I didn't wanted to open this door, I was getting nervous all of a sudden, Hesitating a bit, I gulped down my indecision and open the damn door.
The moment I did it, an object fall down form inside the closet, inside the Jager's basement…..I mean, inside the closet there was….
''…..''
''…..''
''…''
Yuigahama, a tied down Yuigahama, with some weird cloth on her mouth, preventing her from uttering even a single sound, a firm rope was securing her arms and one of her legs was chain to the closet's wall, a metal chain to be exact.
''Yuigahama! What happen to you?!'' I lift her so she wouldn't be facing the floor and I look in her frightened orange-pinkish (A/T Not a Damn clue if it is a legit eye color xD) eyes, she tried to tell me something but her eyes were watering themselves, she was so scared that she was about to cry. I was careful not to hurt while I took off the cloth so she could speak.
''HIKKI! '' Yuigahama practically beg while trying to get closer to me but unable to since the chain on her leg was holding her at that distance.
''Yuigahama? What happen here?'' I tried to ask her but she was emotionally unstable right now, she was altered by this sudden situation we found ourselves in, I should first try to calm her down.
''Calm down Yuigahama, I'll free you in a second'' yeah I know, I suck at making woman feel better, nothing new here, maybe if I were a counterpart of…I don't know… a Hachiman in a Supportive story maybe? (A/T Yeah, I'm awesome, I know) Never mind that, I should find some way to free her, I could do something about the rope on her arms but the chain was the problem, besides , I don't even know where we are at the moment so yeah, our situation is bad…I'm super scared right now, the fact that I'm trying to joke in my mind is prove of that, I'm not some shonen manga protagonist that should be uttering cool lines, no am I some monochromic bear who is always breaking the four wall(A/T Danganronpa Series Reference) I decide to explore, I couldn't do anything about her right now because the rope was too tight, I try to undo it and I hurt my hands a bit, whoever did this sure did a good job at tying knots, I'll try to find something outside to cut these.
''Yuigahama, try to stay calm, I'll try going outside and find something to free you, the chain is a huge problem and this rope is too tight, I can't do anything about it on my own'' Against my best judgment, I try to rub her head to calm her down and smile at her, maybe if she thinks that I'm not nervous, she won't feel scared.
She look at me with her big eyes, she was having the face of someone who wanted to believe in me but also wasn't sure if trusting me was the right idea. After some time, she makes up her mind and nod at me, giving me a small smile.
I nod back and began my adventure on the place we were.
I open the door and found myself in Yukinoshita's living room, Okay, this is bad, I didn't wanted to believe it but I have no other option except accept that Yukinoshita drugged me for some reason, but if this really is Yukinoshita's apartment, the room I just left must be her room, her guest room shouldn't have all those things because she doesn't let anyone stay here, except Yuigahama but if I remember correctly, Yuigahama told me that they usually sleep in her living room, in sleeping bags.
Then that room was Yukinoshita's? But those things… Well, I'll ask about it when I find her, I need to free Yuigahama first, I went to her laundry room and took everything that might help me, she doesn't have lots of tools but a knife and a screwdriver might work to at least free Yuigahama's hands.
While I was going back to her room I suddenly found myself thinking, why was Yuigahama tied up in the closet if this really is Yukinoshita's apartment? This situation just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
''Yuigahama, I found some things'' I said entering the room where Yuigahama was waiting silently, her eyes suddenly lit up after they found mine. I approach her and use the knife to cut the rope, it was a bit difficult but I manage, I then look at the chain trying to find a way to break it or unlocked it, we need a key but if someone have the key, it must be Yukinoshita.
''We are currently in Yukinoshita's apartment, I don't understand why but for some reason Yukinoshita drugged us and drag us here, it must be something to do with me if her room is any indication'' I said to her while signaling the walls and the plushies in Yukinoshita's bed. Yuigahama widened her eyes for some seconds but immediately calm down, looking at me with seriousness I've never seen in her.
''Hikki'' She began
''Yeah?''
''Yukinon isn't okay'' Huh?
''What do you mean?''
''Remember how a few days ago I wanted to talk to you when you mention how she was looking at us on the clubroom? How her eyes were empty while looking at me and you interacting?'' Yuigahama was being awfully serious about this
''Yes?''
''She wasn't mad because you were interacting with me…. She was mad because I was interacting with you'' You too Yuigahama? Everyone lately has been insinuating that she was obsessed with me, but I can't turn from the truth anymore, she capturing us and all this stuff here were the proof, I can't turn blind eyes to this, not anymore.
''Hayama and Haruno-san were saying the same, that she was obsessed with me or something but if that's true, why did she capture you too?''
''Hikki, I'm scared, Yukinon isn't,,,,''
''Yukinon isn't? What about Yukinon Yui?'' A chilly voice resounded the room behind us, the look in Yuigahama's eyes were the same a deer got on theirs when a car is about to roll them over, I slowly turn my back and get up, I was greeted by the coldest eyes I've ever seen, If Yukinoshita was scary before, this is a whole new level.
``Well?'' She was still demanding answers from Yuigahama, it was so sudden than I didn't even notice that she used Yuigahama's first name, This was a weird image, Yuigaham chained down to a closet and her dress, I with this weird bangle and Yukinoshita in casual clothes and those empty and cold eyes. Even thought she was max level in intimidation right now, I can't let her keep this up, I'll challenge her and gain some answers.
''Yukinoshita, what the hell is this?'' I said this cutting to the chase, I wasn't a beat-around-the-bush person anyway, blunt is better.
She look at me then and her eyes transformed instantly, her gaze turn soft, so soft that her eyes look like an ocean in a tropical island, completely calm, but those weird light blue hearts in the middle of her eyes were a bit unsettling.
''Hachi-kun! Did you like my room? I made everything myself ~'' Her tone changed completely, I don't get this…
''I asked you a question…''
''Do you love me already Hachi-kun~''
''Huh?'' Wait what?
''I love you3 '' How direct, she's making no sense right now, why would she love someone like me anyway?
''But I know you won't believe me Hachi-kun, because you don't believe that you deserve the love of another person, but that's fine, we'll have the rest of our lives to cure your problem Hachi-kun'' She was smiling creepily now, I look at Yuigahama momentarily seeing that she got the same freak out look on her eyes as me.
In the moment I did that, I suddenly felt a charge on my body.
''AGHHHHH'' I was getting electrocuted and I was still in shocked, I don't understand how this happened but the charge was too much for my body, after torturous seconds, it finally ended but my body was still shaking from the recoil.
''Who told you to look at another woman? You can only look at me Hachi-kun m'kay? You are mine and only mine after all''
''Aghhhh….'' I couldn't form any words, as my conscience fall once again in darkness….
Heya!
It's Fire Hero again, well, more like, Fire Hero finally appearing? Xd…no?.. it wasn't funny right? Hahahah….
SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY, I've been so busy this last months that I just couldn't find the time for this, in the moments I was able to, I just couldn't think of a good way to do this chapter that is the turning point of the story, so I'll do my best, :D
No more words because I'm tired as hell and I need to sleep,
Bye Bye :D
