Kagerou Days

Ch. 1 The Loop

Hiyori's POV

August 15, 12:33. I stared at the corpse in the middle of the street, my eyes wide.

I heard people screaming, panicking and shouting for an ambulance or police. I approached the pulse-less boy on the street and knelt down beside him.

I could've sworn I saw him smile by the time he was hit by the truck. I covered my mouth and started crying.

I looked back at the sidewalk and sure enough, I saw Summer right before I blacked out.

~o~

I woke up. I took my cell phone off the nightstand and looked at the date and time. August 14, 12:04.

Usually, when something bad happens to people, they just remember that it's all in the past. But apparently, I'm not one of those people.

I leaned my head on my arm on the window and started crying.

~Flashback: August 15~

I realized throughout this flashback that all the while, Hibiya didn't show his face much...

He and I were at the park, sitting on the swings, talking, nothing else to do.

I was petting a black cat. All of a sudden, the cat ran away from me. I wasn't much of a runner so I asked him if he could get it for me.

But when he reached the street, running for the cat, the street light turned to a glaring red. My eyes widened and I ran for him.

On the way, I thought I passed by a girl who could've looked like me but I didn't have time to look at her. I continued to run for Hibiya but it was too late.

I felt tears start to form in my eyes. I glanced back at the girl who had a straight face and she really did look like me except she looked pale and had hair and clothes of blue.

She hid behind the crowd of people screaming and calling for an ambulance or the police.

I blacked out.

The next day, I looked at my cell phone and it was August 14. I sighed in relief. It was just a dream. I went out to hang around with Hibiya in the park.

But everything in my dream happened again but instead of asking Hibiya to get the cat for me, I said it was okay and that I should just leave the cat alone.

I looked at the street and the street light turned red. The same truck I saw in my dream passed by.

I thought the problem was solved but I was definitely wrong. On the way home, while Hibiya and I were turning a corner, people started to shout and point at the sky.

When I looked up, I saw a crane on the roof of the building near us dropping steel poles. My eyes widened and I looked at Hibiya who was right in front of me.

In the corner of my eye, I saw the blue-ish girl again. I didn't look at her. I could've stood still in shock the whole time because that's what I did in the first few seconds.

But my instincts took over and I pushed Hibiya out of the way and a cold steel pole pierced through me. Then, I blacked out.

I woke up the next morning. It was August 15 but...

I realized I was in some kind of cycle because the next few days were only August 14 and 15 over and over again and, I wasn't prepared so, Hibiya kept dying over and over again in many different ways.

Well, not really many- it was only a few days but still...

The blue girl I saw slowly started to show herself little by little. I decided to call her Summer since the heat was starting to get to me and I really thought she was still just a trick of the light or something.

I clenched my fist and decided to take action. As in, not like in the second loop. That was just my instincts.

Just around 2 days later, a different day but still August 15, it was the truck scene again.

I ran for the cat and the truck came by. As I was hit, I thought –THOUGHT- I saw a red boy who looked just like Hibiya. But I forgot about it as pain invaded me.

The next day was August 14. I didn't know what I did wrong. I kept asking myself why the cycle kept continuing. But I just kept dying for Hibiya to protect him.

I never saw the blue girl again until...

~Flashback End~

I cried harder. "I failed again..." I murmured to myself as I petted a white cat.

At the corner of my eye, I saw Summer in a corner of my room start to smile.

A/N: So, I watched Kagerou Days PV and decided, "This is...! Dang it! *starts opening Word Document*"

Uhm, so yeah... Anyway, Kagerou Days song and Vocaloid aren't mine! Please review!
