The Dead Bury Themselves

,

Summary:

Three months after the confrontation with the Onryo, Hiro is slowly learning to balance his new roles as a college student, superhero, and being the last living spirit medium in the city of San Fransokyo. It's been hard work mastering his powers, but it'll all be worth it when he finally becomes strong enough to see Tadashi once more.

But when a new supernatural threat arises, and Hiro has to face it without the rest of the team, he’s going to have to put everything he’s learned into practice in order to save the city, both normal and supernatural. He might even have to work with someone he’d never thought would become involved in his double life.

But to save his brother, he's willing to do anything.

Chapter 1: What Lurks Below

Chapter Text

Darkness. Silence. Pressure.

Hunger.

So hungry. So thirsty. So alone. Why is it alone? Why is no one there? Why is no one coming? Why is no one coming?

So hungry.

Can’t move. Can’t see. Can’t hear. Too dark, too quiet. There’s something pressing down, so heavy. Can’t even shift. Can’t breathe. All alone. It has been alone for so long. So long. So hungry. Why is no one coming?

Suddenly movement. Shaking. Trembling. The pressure shifts, changes. There is noise, loud and terrible. The world itself shatters.

Then silence again. Stillness. But it is different. The pressure is gone.

There is light. It is dim, faint, far above. But it is there.

So hungry.

Glowing eyes appear in the darkness, looking up towards the light. It is so very hungry.

Taloned claws sink into stone, and slowly it begins to climb.
