Chapter 6: A Heat-Haze State of The World Part 2

Konoha POV

Around me, everyone is talking. I don't know what it is they're saying. Momo is crying as she tries to tend to Kido. Seto was with Kano, but then the new girl left with him. They seemed mad. After a while, they come back in.

Kano seems scarier than before, but then his eyes change from red to gold. Chi sits down, and everyone continues to settle in this setting.

Its so...unusual.

Shintaro... I see him looking towards Chi, and then he asks for her to leave with him for a bit.

Ene is still in her body, but moments ago she tried listening in on Chi. She came back completely shaken up.

I see Hibiya, and I notice he's fallen asleep. Not only that, but Chi is with him, his head on her lap.

“—?!” When did she...?

She looks to me. She has tears streaming down her face as she smiles weakly.

"You too, huh?"

"...what?" I don't understand.

"You tried to protect him as well."

"I don't know...what you mean." I don't understand.

My eyes look into hers, and she smiles again, once more. She wipes her eyes but the tears still streak gently from the red circles that are gazing into my forgotten past against my will. I don't know it though.

I just know...it hurts... I don't understand why I'm crying either.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 

I am suddenly in a place that I don’t understand… it has no people, only a boy and a girl. The boy is Hibiya. I don’t know who the girl is. I look behind me. There is me, looking panicked as I run for the pair. He runs straight through me, giving me an uneasy feeling. I look back to the street, and I see Hibiya lying in the street, the girl sobbing on her knees. The other me tries to pick Hibiya up, but he can’t seem to touch him…

I am too shocked to move.

And suddenly Chi is next to me, crying. “I don’t like this…”

“I don’t like it either.”

“No, I meant—”

We are in another setting. There are stairs. Lots and lots of stairs. Hibiya slips and falls, oddly smiling. The other me is at the bottom of the stairs, arms out, ready to catch him. Hibiya goes straight through him, and this time, I feel it with my own chest. I clutch at my heart, coughing.

“Do you want me to stop now?” Chi asks, still silently crying.

“No, I want to see him get better—“

“He won’t!” She is suddenly shouting, her head in her hands. I look at her in surprise but she just keeps going. “Don’t you see? If he died the first time, he can’t die again… it’s a loop! August fourteenth keeps happening over and over… he’ll never get better! It’s cursed!” She is on her knees now, hunched over and pounding at the ground.

I walk over to her and put a hand on her back. I am crying now too. I wipe at my tears but they just keep rolling.

“I’m going to finish what I said earlier.” Chi says, her head turned towards me now. “I don’t like my power. I hate it. I hate having to look into people’s pasts and futures. I’m just snooping in things that I’m not supposed to. I’m giving them visions that were forgotten for a reason. You would be much better off without this vision, right?”

I don’t want to hurt her feelings. “I needed to know—”

“But ignorance is bliss. My problem is that I know too much. When I didn’t know how to control my power, I was accidentally seeing how people died— I broke down in the street once, even.”

I don’t know what to say. I look at Hibiya’s body, now skewered by a pole. We must have gone through many deaths… Suddenly, the world around me is crumbling. Chi’s eyes are back to normal, a bright hazel color. We are back in the living room. Chi is asleep along with Hibiya. I sit next to her. Her head falls on my shoulder. I listen to the beating of her heart, the rythmic sound of her breathing. Soon I am dozing off.

The moment before my eyes close, I hear a soft voice.

“Don’t tell anyone, okay?”

EEKK THIS WAS SO KAWAII!!!!!!!!!

OMG but I couldn't have done it without Seita_Shuuya and his geniousness. He wrote everything before the timeskip. Thank's to him, there's a Konoha chapter. Because honestly, I had no idea what to do for Konoha. Sorry if it's a little late, I had to go do stuff with my uncle visiting from California. 

OMG KonohaxChi, but sadly, that will not be happening in this story. But you guys can ship it if you want. 

🌌 Let your life's song support you 🌌
