Chapter 8:

Death

Venomous



Haruto slowly gets up from his bed and sighs. He says "Another day huh..? Guess I'll get ready." He puts on his school uniform and walks out of his room, downstairs, and then when he gets to the front door he yells out "Hisako! I'll come back and make you dinner okay? Have a good day." 
He closes the door behind him and then starts walking to school. While he's in class he looks out his school window to see a figure that disappears quickly. But unlike Seiji's experience, the figure stayed gone. Haruto says to himself "It's just like that day with Seiji.. but I guess I'll ignore it for now."
After school is over, Haruto is walking outside towards the school's front entrance where the lockers are and while walking he sees Seiji out in a window with his swords out fighting a woman in the same outfit that the other guy had on. 



Seiji is seen getting pushed back as the woman is dodging Seiji's attacks with ease and as he's being slashed with twin spears, Seiji dodges one of the attacks and tried to counterattack only to have the woman end up behind him. 




As he then turns around shocked and the woman is about to slice him, Haruto jumps out of the window and runs towards the battle. And jumps in front of the slice as the cut goes deep into his chest. Haruto lands on the ground and the woman is shocked. Seiji, using that opening launches the woman far away and looks at Haruto on the ground.

"Haruto!? Haruto!? Are you okay? Please live! Come on!" Haruto stands, clutching his bleeding wound. "Seiji... take.. care of Saran and my sister for me. It's the end of the road. But still, I.." Before Haruto can finish his thought, his hand goes limp and falls on the ground. Seiji's eyes go empty as he screams at the top of his lungs in anger. 


The woman returns to see this sight."Aww... Is your little friend dead? Don't worry. I'll make sure you see him soon." Seiji says "Shut up. You killed my best friend. I'll never forgive you, you hear me?" Seiji yells louder. "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" 
His aura returns but a deep purple color. Seiji stares the woman dead in her eyes and says "I don't need weapons to deal with scum like you." And unsummons his blades. Seiji goes behind the woman with only a gust of wind showing how fast he is. He then punches the woman in her face breaking some of her teeth. 


"What the hell's wrong with you!? You little brat, I'll kill you!" Seiji goes right into her face and says "Didn't I just say shut up." He kicks her in her head and sends her flying. Seiji says "You're weak but I'm not ending this so quickly. I'll make you suffer." Seiji then puts the woman in a loop of him punching the woman, her being launched and him punching her again.
We focus on Haruto's body and go into his mind. Haruto is seemingly falling into the void and begins to think. 


"Oh. I'm dead. Well. I guess my life was good but..." Haruto watches on as the black void is suddenly filled with Seiji fighting the woman. Haruto clutches his fist. 


"Seiji's fighting for my sake. I can't die here. I was already going to say, I'm way too stubborn to die. My mind was made up from the start!"
Haruto's heartbeat goes from silent to slightly beating. Haruto's face is seen from an above angle close to his face.


 Haruto opens his eyes.
