Holonatural Occurrences (Hololive Fanfiction)

Ninomae Ina'nis

"Thanks for the reassurance; I was sure that I  was going to die from the amount of jokes you were making." She started to laugh out now.

"Well, considering that you're the first to listen to the jokes, I'll make sure to not bore you or anyone else anymore!" For someone as powerful as her, she laughs and acts pretty normal... until she starts getting a bit scary.

After her laughing session, it had become quiet between us again.

"...You really are a strange one, Haru-kun. I was expecting a more... scared part of you to come out, but I guess this part of you is fine enough." She started to walk forward enough to begin to climb the stairs we were next to. I wasn't going to bother to follow her as I need to get out of here.

"..." I couldn't think of anything to say to her. This is the person that holds the book that could very much end humanity right here and now, but she instead stays here where there is nothing. Is there some sort of limit that she has? Or does she not want-

"I have a question for you to answer, Haru-kun." Upon looking up at her from the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by her otherworldly presence. Compared to Calli-san, her presence felt as if the world was bending to her will.

"Depends on what it is supposed to be." I didn't see her twitch or move from her spot. But, right then and there, something popped up from behind her. I couldn't describe what it was, but the way it moved was... not normal.

"I have been wondering this question within my head for a long time, Haru-kun. From the day we first met, and the days that continued," Her figure was being illuminated from a color similar to the moon. Probably because the moon was actually right behind her. "Are you scared of me?" The strangely moving object behind her started to become many. So many, that I understood what was behind her...

Tentacles.

"...Of course I'm scared," From the way her eyes widened, I could tell that those words were something she didn't want to hear. "By far, you're the most terrifying person that I've met. From your jokes to appearance, they are things that freak me out because I can't  understand you. You're supposed to be the most threatening person in the world, so why is it that you're trying not to be? You have the power to somehow experience my past again, and you have the power to kill me... and yet you don't for some reason. What's stopping you from becoming the true terror that I had heard you were supposed to be?"

"..." She didn't speak nor looked at me. Her bangs shadowed her eyes and I couldn't see how her eyes were like. If she got her answer, then, it's time for me to leave.

I could only hope that Amelia-chan is alright.

Stepping away from the staircase, I walked back to the cave entrance. My hand and legs had been shaking so much, that I couldn't help but breathe heavily. I have the information that I wanted, so it was time to go back to Sakura-chan after finding Amelia-chan.

"Where are you going, Haru-kun?" I felt a chill run down my spine as I felt cold air brush past me. I turned my head back slowly, only to be greeted with the sight of Ina-chan in front of me. I would like to move and run, but I was too scared to do anything. I reached my own limit.

"I... have to find Amelia-chan. I left her there, so I have to hurry and get her." I then felt something slithery wrapped around my stomach. 

"Amelia-chan? Oh, that girl you were with in the beginning, right? You trust her too, right?" Thag question had gotten me to sweat a bit. "I'm sure... Amelia-chan is alright on her own. She's been doing a lot on her own after all." To that, I suddenly had the courage to move my body away from her.

"What do you mean by that?! What do you know about her?!" The thought of her knowing something on Amelia-chan frightens me. To be truthful, Amelia-chan is a bit strange with knowing some things, but that's because she's a detective! I'm sure that was it!

"But is it really it, Haru-kun?" She... could read my- "Thoughts? Very much so, Haru-kun. Ever since I established a link to your amygdala, I was able to listen to your thoughts and look through your memories. But enough of that, what do you know about, Amelia-chan? You've only met a few days ago, right?" I couldn't help but back up a bit. She... knows of that time! She knows!

She knows!

"She knows more than she looks, Haru-kun. However, it is good to tell you that she is still alive and well. If she didn't have a strong mentality, then, she would've been left insane in the cave." Her eyes showed that she didn't care for someone that she hadn't met. Hollow and empty.

"...What do you want from me? Even if she is okay, I need to get her out of there." Before I could stop into the cave again, I felt a tug around my stomach, bring me back towards Ina-chan.

"I already have what I want from you, Haru-kun: I finally have a friend to talk to." There were more tentacles starting to wrap around me from my feet to my hips.

"We've... only just met!" I tried to squirm my way out, but I couldn't, even if they were slithery, there were too many to get away from.

"Irony. But, it seems that you have somehow forgot how we actually met. Don't worry, I'll be sure that you remember accordingly." The tentacles started to wrap itself all the way up to my nose and eventually to my eyes.

"And don't worry about Amelia-chan. I'm sure... that she has all the time in the world to escape." It was like I was suffocating. I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't move.

I can't move.
