"We are live in front of the Ajin's house. This is the third Ajin discovery and fugitive on Japanese Soil. This small town is in an uproar," The news presenter said, as the camera zoomed in and out and around the scene. "I've thought for a long time now that he didn't seem human," The screen changed to a picture of Watanabe before it abruptly turned off.

"God...I don't think they'll ever shut up after this, Okaachan," A blonde haired girl sighed, looking behind her to her mother. Sitting down on the floor, the girl closed her eyes in thought. An Ajin, hmm? Why would they make a big deal of it? It's not like they aren't human... Her red eyes opened again as she looked towards her watch. 11:19. "I should get to bed now, Okaachan. See you in the morning," The girl murmured, standing up once again from the floor and starting to make her way to the door. "Miyu," A hoarse voice called out, making the girl turn to face her mother, "Take care of yourself tomorrow...I feel as though something bad will happen."

Miyu sat up abruptly, pushing the bedsheets down to her waist, gasping. It couldn't have been any later than 1 AM. Two hours of sleep...Seriously? I have school tommorrow...or should I say today? The blonde groaned as she attempted to fall back to sleep by drawing the covers back over her head, but it was no use and she later gave up trying. Looking over at the alarm clock beside her bed, she saw that it was actually far past One in the morning now. It was almost four. Maybe I should start getting ready for school. Reaching over to where she's put her glasses the night before, she took them into her hand and put them on her face, and her vision cleared up at once. Yes, It really was four in the morning, Her eyes were not deceiving her. With a groan, Miyu pushed her way out of her bed, shivering slightly as her feet touched the cold floor. Had her mother forgotten to turn on the heating for her room? Yes, that was the case. Her mother always forgets to do that.

A knock came from the door, making Miyu look over. "Yu-Chan? Are you awake? There is something on the news you should see!" The voice of her older brother called out. Her brother had been in Nagai's class. Maybe he'd seen the 'accident' the day before. "Oniisan..?" Miyu called out, walking quickly over to the door to see the sight of her brown-eyed brother once it was opened. Almost immediately, he had grabbed her hand and dragged her into the living room, where the news station was playing. It was the same woman from the night before. "The whereabouts of Nagai Kei, The third Ajin to appear in Japan, are still unknown. News of the Ajin's discovery is spreading quickly. As the world is waiting for more information, we are able to tell you that there is an unknown accomplice with the Ajin. They have broken past police checkpoints, and some suspect that they are in a completely different prefecture. That is it for now, but we will keep you up to date with information as we receive it," The news reporter said, before the screen switched to a picture of a male standing in the city. "Now for the weather, by Tadashi Yamanashi-" The voice was abruptly cut off as Miyu groaned, holding the remote. Getting her hand free from her brother's, she put the remote down and left the room with silent footsteps.

Going back to her bedroom, Miyu took out her uniform and changed. A few minutes passed, before she called out of her room, "Okaachan? Do you know where my socks and shoes are?" A chuckle came from the kitchen as her mother answered, "They're by the door, Miyu, where they always are." "Thanks!" The sixteen year old called out, rushing out of her room with her school bag in one hand and the other brushing her hair with a hairbrush. Getting to the door, she sat down, and pulled up her knee-length socks and put on her black shoes, before rushing back into the kitchen to steal a piece of toast from her brother. "Hey! Yu-Chan!" Haruto yelled as she ran back out of the room and grabbed her bag. "I'm off!" The teen proclaimed as she walked out of the front door, closing it on her sibling's face.

The smile didn't fade from her face as she skipped to the bus station, which was unusual. Many people around her were walking with scared, anxious looks on their faces. Must be because of Nagai. When she got there, she stood swaying back and forth, the smile still plastered on her face. Still holding the toast she stole from her brother as her breakfast, she had forgotten that. But the remembrance made her smile more as she started to eat at it as she waited for the bus. About ten minutes of standing in the summer-like heat, the bus stopped at the bus station, and Miyu and the people around her boarded. Now, the smile was gone, replaced by a neutral look. Like she was lost in thought, and wasn't in tune with reality.

This is the very same road Nagai died on. Or should I call it dying? If it isn't dying what would it be? Should I say knocked down? Yes, that seems fitting of what happened. People were talking about it at the bus stop, about how he didn't even see the truck coming. Or that he said something along the lines that it was a mistake. Taking out her phone, and thankfully connecting with the mobile data on the street, she decided to search up Nagai's records. Maybe I could help the police in their search for him. The first few lines were about where he was born, but then a piece of information caught her eye. 'Nagai Kei had stopped breathing shortly after birth and was considered to be dead, but a few seconds later he was breathing once again, like nothing had happened. Doctors deemed it a miracle.' Miyu's eyes widened as she took in the information. He's...He's been one since birth...

Tap. Feeling someone touch her shoulder, Miyu whipped her head around to look at the before, alarm clear in her eyes. It quickly disappeared at the sight of her best friend, Yumiko Rin. "What is it, Ri-Chan?" Miyu asked the brunette, a touch of curiosity in her voice. "This is our stop, and why're you hiding your phone from me?" The green-eyed girl asked, looking over Miyu's shoulder to try and see the phone screen. Miyu just put the phone in her pocket, back where it should be and stood up, grabbing her bag. She didn't answer Rin's question. When the bus has stopped, Miyu, Rin and a few other of their schoolmates left the bus. There was no sign of Kaito nor Nagai. Kaito was also in her older brother's class at school, so maybe he'd know why he wasn't there today.

"Hey, Nakamura-San! Did you hear about the big crash near Yamanashi prefecture? Apparently, it was the Ajin who caused it!" "Yeah, I heard that he forced Kaito-Kun into driving him out of the prefecture so he wouldn't get caught." "I can't believe that one of those things used to go to our school, never mind be in our class!" "Did you hear the rumours that you get ten billion yen if you find one? If only he'd have stayed here, then my adult life would be all set up!" "I've heard rumours that they eat any humans that get in their way!" "Does that mean he'll eat Kaito-Kun!?" "I really hope not, he was the only hot guy in our school!" "I feel bad for his old friends, probably thinking that they themselves are Ajin's because they were friends with one." "Yeah, you're right, Yamna-Chan!"

"Have you no respect?! He was our classmate! Our friend! And now here you all are bad-talking him when its revealed to the public eye that he's an Ajin! And you call yourselves respectful human beings?! Well if that's respectable, then I'm down-right fucking trash to you aren't I, you bitches!?" All the girls surrounding Miyu gasped audibly at her outburst. Miyu had never been one to just blow up into a rant like that. Now that they thought about it, Miyu was actually very quiet. "Are you one as well, Bakamura?! Is that why you're standing up for him?! ...Or does Bakamura have a crush, eh?" Kobayashi Yamna replied, taking the girl's silence as a yes for her second accusation. "Bakamura has a crush! But Boo-hoo, it was on the Ajin!" Kobayashi proclaimed for the whole world to know, before looking back down at Miyu. "I wonder...Are you an Ajin too?" She said in such a quiet voice, that it sent shivers down Miyu's spine.

Miyu pushed her way through the crowd of girls, leaving Yanma's question unanswered. Am I really an Ajin? No, I can't be. I Can't. Walking up the stairs, lost in her thoughts, she did not notice the older student collide with her shoulder and was sent spiralling down the stairs. A sickening snap was heard when she landed on the floor, her neck bent to an impossible angle. Are you an Ajin too? "Oh God..." One girl said as she covered her mouth, staring at Miyu's body. Are you an Ajin too? "Is she alive..?" Are you an Ajin too? "I don't think so, her neck...it's broken." Are you an Ajin too? "I swear I didn't mean to! She wasn't looking where she wasn't going!" Are you an Ajin too? "I'm gonna get a teacher!" Are you an Ajin too? "Someone call an ambulance!" Are you an Ajin too?

Yes, I am.

Gasps came from the crowd as a dust-like substance started to come off of Miyu as her neck started to move back into place. "Is...Is she..!?" Someone struggled to ask the question from the crowd, not wanting it to be true. Slowly, Miyu pushed her way up from the floor, everyone around her frozen in fear. "N..No...No.." The blonde muttered to herself, eyes wide. "She...She really is an Ajin..!" Yamna exclaimed in fear, snapping out of her frozen position, taking out her phone and running away from the scene. Everyone else was frozen, scared stiff because of Miyu.

Miyu ran. As fast as she could, she ran. She had to get home before Yamna called the police. She would be killed, over and over again. That couldn't happen. It was just too..scary. Slamming the door open to her house, and running to her room, she locked the door before anyone had even realised the front door was open. "I've gotta leave...I can't stay..." The red-eyed girl mumbled to herself, opening her closet and taking out a sports bag. Where will I go though? I can't leave Japan...I'll just be caught by another country and who knows what they do to Ajin's there... Remembering the gossip from before. That Nagai and Kaito were headed to Yamanashi Prefecture. Yamanashi..? Maybe I Could stay with Nagai...He probably knows what to do. Nodding to herself, Miyu grabbed a red top and blue tracksuit bottoms, and a pair of trainers and put them into the bag. Opening her bedside table's drawer, she took out the food she has stored in there. She'd always had a fear of having nothing to eat, ever since she was eight. She put the food into the bag with the clothes, and took the bottle of water from her computer desk and put it beside the food. Looking over to where she had placed her iPhone. Should I take it with me..? Thinking about it, Miyu could sell the phone later, and it also meant the police wouldn't track her by it unless its turned on. I'll take it then. Putting it in her pocket, she grabbed a hoodie from her closet and put it on, making sure to cover her face. Then, changing her shoes to running shoes, she took one last look around her room. She'd miss this place. Opening her window, after zipping up the sports bag of course, she whispered, "Goodbye for a while..." And jumped.
