Chapter 2: Danger Comes; The 1st Encounter
Akemi Homura was confused, aggravated and more importantly very very frightened. Her first few tries had ended in pure and utter failure. With every return the events that transpires becomes worse than before... but now, her hidden horror behind the stoic and heartless (to a point) facade intensified. It all started from her release from the hospital where she felt this heavy feeling of despair and fear. She felt her `Soul Gem` incredibly darken as her soul struggled against something akin to an unyielding and stubborn soul. As if she struggled to reign in herself. That thought was enough to send shivers upon her spine. And the worst thing about it is that the feeling was so powerful that she broke her facade a few times to wince and even once or twice get the feeling of `falling`. She even had screamed and flailed in agony in those times. This knowledge had softened her a little before freezing her heart once more.
The second thing that added to her dread was the large number of unknowns and anomalies that suddenly littered the already weird Mitakihara City. From the small church with the weird priest; up to the seemingly out of place bike shop/garage. Then there were her neighbors. The first one is Hayate Ichimonji was honestly a nice man, good photographer (which what he looked like) and great neighbor. Yet his sudden existence was a shock to Homura. She made it that she had no neighbors due her apartment`s `nature` and used her power to make it so, in fact it worked everytime. Then there was the college student named Maribel Han the other neighbor. She was even worse as Hayate as he was not the type to meddle with her but Marible would, seeing she was an active seeker of the supernatural. In fact she was the reason she could not do anything. If she tried to use her powers on either, she`s sure that she would need to `jump` sooner than expected. But those were not the worse part of them, that came when she got to school and had an early encounter with Tomoe Mami and her two friends (which she clearly did not know either). This was the worst part as she could only stare at one who glowed with might. This aggravated her enough to unconsciously glare at her, rationality and stoism getting thrown out the window.
The Miko in turn could only stare in shock before glaring back. The dark aura the girl emitted tore her from the pleasant conversation she was having as well as the pangs of dread that assaulted her. Mami was incredibly worried as Reimu wasn`t the only one glaring at the dark haired girl. This farce lasted only a few more moments before the girl regained her stoic attitude, bowing at them, and finally going ahead of them. Reimu and Mirai continued to glare not taking their sight off the dark haired girl. `Something is incredibly off with that girl` was thought of two while their blonde friend fretted at what went on.
"What was her problem!" the red head had shouted stomping all the while. While staring at someone was inappropriate, and glaring at the offenders was fine. Adding dark emotions or `killing intent` was not appreciated. Reimu who had reigned her emotions first put a hand on Mirai`s shoulder to calm her down, then nudged Mami to move as well for they were making a scene. The aura the girl gave off was unnerving. It did not help that Mami gave off a similar yet very different one. The girl`s aura was fierce and unmistakingly disturbed, like her own during times of aggravation or frustration. Not only was the girl being off but something is causing her to worsen. She said nothing when her friends interrupted her thoughts as she reached a realization. From the fierceness and the depths (of darkness) her aura emitted, she had `identified` this `girl`.
`I wonder what you want...` Reimu thought as they threaded through their school.
`...lich.`
