Oh god, this is such a terrible title, but it was all I could think of. DX Hopefully the title won't put you off. I'll explain myself at the end.

She wouldn't have known where she was if she hadn't been here a hundred times before. There was the manga shop she frequented and the other one that always got her to buy something. There were numerous posters for anime and manga on the walls, along with billboards for the same.

She was in Akibahara.

It was one of her favorite places to be.

Now it was different.

The liveliness that used to permeate the streets was gone and replaced with an unsettling silence. The flashlight that was clipped to her school uniform barely broke through the darkness, which was so thick that there were no stars or moon. She could also hear shuffling sounds coming from the darkness.

The girl was named Konata Izumi, and right now she felt totally alone.

"What's going on?" she asked out loud. The darkness offered no answer. Konata took a few steps before the shuffling sound started again. She looked to where the sound came from, turning her body to keep the light in front of her. Konata thought that she saw a girl wearing a school uniform, but she couldn't tell for sure. Konata decided to brush it off as best as she could and continued walking. She stopped when she stepped in a puddle and was appropriately shocked to find blood. She also saw that the blood continued for a ways in the light.

Konata's survival instincts kicked in and overrode her curiosity. So, Konata turned around and went back the way she came, only to find that the road gave way to a large chasm.

'Wait, if it was like that, then how did I get here?' Konata thought. She was about to muse on this a bit more until she heard that shuffling sound again. Except this time it sounded a lot closer. Konata turned around, hoping to see the source of the sound, but there was nothing there.

'Well, considering my lack of options…' Konata thought to herself, hating herself for what she was about to do. She took a nervous gulp and started moving back down the street, following the blood.

The trail seemed to go on forever, since Konata had walked down several streets. It had started to rain a little, but Konata barely noticed. Those shuffling sounds were starting to get to her, since they seemed to come from everywhere.

While she was walking, Konata couldn't help but think about what was happening. The whole district was dark, without a single light on. The lack of stars was also unsettling. Konata was pretty sure that was impossible, and she was starting to feel claustrophobic.

After a while, the blood turned into an alleyway. Konata laughed nervously, gave a low mutter of "Great," and proceeded down the alley, shaking some nervousness that developed in her arms. She made it about halfway down the alley when she heard something besides the shuffling. It sounded like someone crying.

Despite the feeling of dread that developed in her stomach, Konata pushed onward. A few seconds later, she thought she could see the end of the alley coming up. Konata unclipped the small flashlight from her uniform, barely registering that she hadn't questioned its presence, and held it up to see better. She wasn't expecting to see the small figure curled up in the corner.

It was a girl wearing the same uniform that Konata had on, but it wasn't the uniform that caught her attention. That would be the short lilac hair and yellow bow on her head.

"Tsukasa, what are you doing here?" Konata asked, slowly walking to her friend. Tsukasa stopped crying when she heard Konata's voice. She started to stand up slowly and awkwardly. "Are you ok?" Konata asked, clipping the flashlight back onto her shirt. "This place is really weird Tsukasa. I think we should get out of here as fast as…" Konata stopped when Tsukasa started turning to her.

Tsukasa was slightly hunched over so her hair covered her eyes. But not fully, since what Konata did see wasn't the blue eyes that she knew. Instead, they were pitch black, as if the eyes weren't there. She was also gritting her teeth, which seemed sharper than they should be. Konata's brain shut down and didn't restart until that thing unleashed an earsplitting screech and tackled her.

Konata felt weird when it touched her. She felt…cold. Like the life was being sucked out of her. With a bit of struggling, Konata managed to shove it off her. As soon as it was off, Konata was up and running. She could hear that things screech behind her, though she didn't dare look back to see what was behind her.

As soon as she was out of the alley, Konata made a hard right and ran into the first store she could. She ran to the back and, through luck, found an open locker. She quickly got in, shut the door, and turned off her flashlight.

The Tsukasa-thing ran in about two seconds later. It was breathing in deep, guttural sounds. Konata watched it through the slits of the locker, with her breath held and her hands over her mouth. It moved around the room, looking for Konata. It even came to the locker where she was hiding a few times. The last time it seemed ready to open the locker before a crashing sound from the front drew its attention away and followed it. Konata waited for what seemed like an eternity before leaving the locker.

She decided to take the door that she didn't come through. That door led to a hallway, which probably connected the backrooms of the shops. Konata shut the door behind her and walked down the hall a bit before she heard another sound. It sounded like wheels creaking.

It happened too fast after that. In the darkness beyond the flashlight, something long and narrow shot toward Konata and hit her in the left shoulder. Pain surged through her body like waves. The world seemed to slow down for Konata. She looked at what was in her shoulder and it looked like a tube you would find in a hospital. She tried to pull it out, but was stopped when three more identical tubes shot out and imbedded themselves in her right shoulder and both of her thighs.

Konata couldn't move the pain was so great. The creaking sound continued and what was attached to the wires was shown. What seemed like a hospital gurney rolled into the flashlight's beam. The hum and beep of life support equipment came from the bed, and all the wires and tubes were attached to a small figure lying motionlessly. The bed was being pushed by what seemed to be a young man, though Konata couldn't tell since its face was obstructed by the hood it wore.

But it wasn't the pusher that scared Konata the most. That would be the small figure on the bed, with its long blue hair. She didn't have much time to ponder this, since another wire extracted itself from the bed, hovered for a second, and then wrapped itself around Konata's neck. It squeezed tightly and lifted Konata off the ground with a strength it couldn't possibly have. The wires in her shoulders were so painful that she couldn't have fought it off.

Her vision started blacking out.

She thought the person on the bed tilted its head up and reached out to her.

Konata tried to do the same before darkness overcame her entirely and her breathing stopped.

Alright, I'm a big Silent Hill fan and I'm also a big Lucky Star fan. So really, why not have something like this? We've already crossed Lucky Star with Fallout. As it turns out, all it takes is one picture to spark this kind of thing. I'll put the link in my profile, if your interested in what started this thing.

But really, this is mostly me testing the horror waters. I've never written something like this before, and if I can't accurately recreate the feel of Silent Hill, there's no point in writing more of this. I NEED to know if I'm doing a good job on this. It may sound like I'm begging for reviews, but if I ever needed to do that, it would be now. I love both of these series too much to botch either one up too much. So really, any kind of review is appreciated on this.

Well, that's really it. Thanks for reading this through if you ever find this.
