Chapter Text
Why?
“He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” they said.
Just? He was fucking cycling to school! That’s not being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
“Kage-“
“Leave me alone!”
I stopped going to the club. I stopped going to school. I locked myself up in my room, only coming out for food, water and when I needed to pee. I let nobody in. Not even my parents.
“Tobio, please come out to get some fresh air.” My mother sounded desperate. “Please, Tobio, I-“ She looked surprised as I unlocked my door and opened it.
“I’m going to the forest,” I only said, as I grabbed my jacket, put on my shoes and left the house.
I sat down against a tree and grabbed my earphones. The first one that came up was one of Hinata’s favourites. I felt a tear slowly running down my cheek. Damn, if only that man wouldn’t drive so fast... I wiped the tear away and stood up to walk for a while.
“Shit. Where am I?” It was pitch black already. I turned on the flashlight of my phone, which scared a bunny that immediately ran away.
“Sorry,” I muttered, and continued walking. What else could I have done?
A flickering light on my left caught my attention. Is there someone else here? But no one comes here, as far as I know. At least not at this time.
I warily walked towards it. I came to the conclusion it was a torch, multiple. A path? Why here?
I decided to follow it – I was already lost, so it didn’t bother me that much.
“What the hell?!”
Suddenly there was a huge monster in front of me. Wait, two?! Both of them carried something what looked like a huge sword. The two swords were crossed, as if to tell you: Don’t come in. Or don’t go out?
They didn’t seem to notice me. I poked a leg of one of them. No reaction. I screamed at them. No reaction. Were they even real? They felt real, at least.
But they were huge! Why didn’t I notice them earlier? With such height, I could probably see them from our balcony. Then why...?
I jumped up as the two swords suddenly fell down to the ground. I heard a scream, then nothing. Slowly, the two giants bowed down to pick up their swords again and return to the same position they were in earlier. On the place where the two swords dropped was a body of a young man. He couldn’t be older then twenty five. The odd thing was that he didn’t have any injuries. He just cursed, stood up and wanted to turn around and walk back through the gate, but then he spotted me.
“Oh! Are you new? Come here, since I can’t come over there, but you’ve probably seen that already.”
Walking to him, I noticed his hair was purple, just like his eyes. He had a tattoo on his left arm, a dragon?
When I was only a few steps away from him, he suddenly backed away. “Stay away,” he said softly.
“Wh-“
“You’re alive, right?”
