Naruse Ibara POV
" Please Haruto! Take me with you!" I reached out my hand to him, yet he continued to walk away from me in this dark road I ran, and ran, I reached out him again and again, I screamed my lungs out yet he kept walking away from me.I could feel my strength draining away from me. Why was it? Why wont he look at me? Why does it have to be him?. "Haruto.." I whispered as I slowly fall down, I could feel the tears slowly fall down on my cheeks, I could hear my hoarse voice still screaming for his name. Until my eyes slowly gave up.
"Live on Naruse..." I heard as I felt a cold hand brushing my tears away."i forced myself to open my eyes. " I felt a pang on my chest as I saw his face, he was looking at me with his sorrowful eyes, his faces was full of wounds and scratches, his silver hair was messy than it usually does, As she continued to examine him, she saw his hands dyed red."Dont worry, I'll protect you..." he smiled with sorrow and i closed my eyes.
...
"Na-ru-se!"
"Na-ru-se!~"
I heard Aoi shouting as she grabbed at my arms. "Can we just go back puh-lease~?" she whined at me with her puppy eyes. "We're on a mission here,remember?" I faintly smiled at her. "But.. we've already rescued a lot of people here I just want to rest too, Our mission here in Tokyo gets crazier every single day 'ya know? and I already missed No-sense and the others already"She continued whining at me. "Well, this is a class trip right? We need to finish it first before going home someday" I tried to give her my biggest smile. I always knew how much I am the biggest liar here, always saying "I don't know" to questions I can't face, and dragging everyone I have to finish this mission. I know how naive I am but this is imprinted in my D.N.A. already I have no choice, heck do I know if we really are going back."Naruse-senpai?" I immediately looked at Taeko and smiled. " Well then shall we go?" I said as the three of us walked towards our next destination-Nakagawa.
We scouted a place to rest in Nakagawa and eventually saw a simple concrete house. The inside of the house was like the others, but atleast it was much more safe and clean there. Aoi immediately prepared our food and meanwhile Taeko searched the area. I could feel my consciousness slip away and saw total darkness.
As I regain my sight, the first thing I saw was another me. She looked disgusted at me, as if she despises me with her whole being. "Tell me, is this even worth it? all your suffering for those petty humans? for those who created you and would dispose you in the end? for those beings that would use you till your very last breath? and those people that wont give you peace and torture our kind?" She said while looking at me seriously. "I dont know..." I muttered as she sighed. "We all know that it's their fault Naruse!"she screamed as wounds begin to appear on their body and slowly vanishing again. "Do you even realize what they've done to us?.."she said as she lowers her voice. "We're nothing more than mere dolls to them." she continues as I just stood there stunned, silenced and watch as her wounds disappear and reappear. "We're even becoming like monsters.. and... You and I both know that Haruto would be here if not for them." She said faintly as she covered her face with her palm and her eyes start to well up. I just stood there looking at her, looking at me. I know and understand that everything she said was right. But what can I do?.. It's not like I could change this damned fate of ours. It's not I could do something to stop this madness. I approached her wanting to stop her tears from pouring, I closed my eyes and wiped her tears " We'll get by somehow. they'll probably recognize us, and thank us.." I said faintly as I opened my eyes, but what i saw was not me anymore it was a deformed being it looked, so disgusting, mushy, something like a swamp monster. I immediately stepped back "see? this is what they've done to others.. what do you think happens to them? most are being executed others continue as lab rats.." it said as it draw near me, I could not say a thing i couldn't, facing this thing. I never knew anything about the failed experiments, i dont know how to react to this.I approached it and just embraced it, I felt pity, disgust, and hatred. I couldn't help but cry and just repeatedly cry. I looked at the failed experiment and slowly... it formed as Haruto...
He was heaviely wounded, he was covered in blood, He was very very weak, I could feel his hoarse breathing and shaking voice."Naruse... If only... we werent created... i...im sorry... you... had .. to .. expe-experiece this.. I-" He's voice,breathing and shaking stopped while he was in my arms. I was so terrified, The only thing I could do was scream my lungs out. I kept on shouting, and shouting, I could taste the salty tears coming from my eyes, I held him close. I dont know what to do. I continued screaming.
until I felt someone slap my face...
"I-Iba-Ibara senpai!" I heard Aoi and Taeko as they both embraced me. Both of them cried,"What happened?'' I asked "You.. were screaming in your sleep and we cant wake you up, you were even crying and muttering Haruto's name," Both of them said, while drying their I recalled that dream, I immediately teared up. I felt the coldness of my hands, I was relieved that it was a dream, at the same time i was scared and sorrowful, that my dream was true. I know that Haruto would have a slim chance in surviving.. However I want to believe in him, that he survived.
I brushed my tears away and smiled at them. "Well, we should stop crying, and go on with saving, everything will someday be fine and we would be happy" I smiled at them and stood. They stopped crying and stood as well. And we went on with our mission.
