Hey guys! So most of you voted for Hakuryuu so Hakuryuu it is :)
Btw there's going to be some violence and stuff like that. So if you don't like it please don't read this ^^
Also this is not my original idea. I read about it somewhere on Wattpad (I read too many fanfics 😂) so credits to whoever came up with this plot ^~^
♡ -Enjoy- ♡
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/n's POV
I winced in pain as I gingerly touched the place where the jagged edges of the broken bottle had hit me. I could see I was bleeding, but I couldn't care less. As long as I didn't die.
How did I even get myself into this...
I would ask myself the same question everyday as I helplessly accepted the pain my father gave me every night.
On days when he wasn't drunk, I would only have bruises and small cuts here and there, nothing too serious.
When he was drunk, I would be left crumpled on the floor like a rag doll as I endured the pain and tried my best not to cry out as he hit me again and again.
Today was one of those nights.
"Is that a tear I see...?"
He sneered as he kicked me on my side. I doubled over as I clutched my stomach, wishing that this would end as quickly as possible. I coughed and noticed blood was on the floor.
"Weak... Just like your mother."
He pulled my hair, forcing me to stand up. He started throttling me as I clawed helplessly at his hands.
"Let... me... go..."
I managed to wheeze out. Just as I was about to pass out, he let go. I dropped to the floor. I gulped in air greedily as I blinked rapidly, trying to keep the tears in. I could see stars as I tried to stop the pounding in my head.
He snickered before going to grab another bottle of beer. I heard his footsteps fading as he walked further away. I took this chance and scrambled up the stairs, desperate to reach my room. I tripped and fell on my face. I sprained my ankle. I limped madly towards my room as I heard footsteps coming from behind me.
I ran in like a maniac and slammed the door shut, locking it. I even pushed furniture like chairs or tables against it to make sure he wouldn't be able to come in.
I could hear banging on the other side of the door as I finally let my tears fall. I sat against a wall as tears continued to roll down my cheeks. I drew my legs up and curled into a tight ball.
Mom, why did you leave me like this..?
>>>Timeskip to next day<<<
I woke up on the cold hard floor as I sat up, rubbing my sore back. I cautiously opened the door as I took a peep to see if my father was still outside. Thankfully I could hear snoring coming from downstairs.
I quickly packed my bag and tied my hair into a ponytail. I took in my features as I looked at the mirror hanging on my bathroom wall. There were dried tear streaks on both my cheeks as I quickly washed them away. I had eye bags under my eyes. There were bruises on my arms, legs and face. As for my sprained ankle, well it got worse.
I decided to wear a long sleeved shirt and jeans to cover up most of my injuries. I decided to just bear with the pain of my sprained ankle and wore socks so that no one could see the obvious swelling on my ankle. I used foundation to cover the bruises on my face. I tried my best and luckily it wasn't that noticeable anymore.
Fearing that I would wake my father, I moved quietly and swiftly down the stairs. I took one last look at my father on the couch.
As usual, there were pieces of broken glass and bottles strewn all over the floor. I looked at the place where I had been last night and noticed a blood stain on the floor. I shivered, recalling last night's gruesome events.
I opened the door and shut it slowly.
I breathed in the fresh air as I sighed.
Time for another day of hell. Yay.
>>> Time Skip <<<
As I made my way to my class, I looked down at my feet and walked as fast as I could. I felt eyes staring at me and heard hushed whispers around me.
"She probably just wants to gain attention. Attention seeking whore."
"Ugh she's so ugly, even with make-up."
"She probably cuts. That's why she always wears long sleeved clothes."
I walked even faster, practically running by now. As I took my seat, the hushed whispers and accusing eye stares started again. I took out a random textbook from my bag and tried my best to hide my face from everyone else.
Just then,
"Hakuryuu-sama! Please marry me!"
"I love you Hakuryuu!"
"Be my boyfriend Hakuryuu!!"
I sighed. He's here.
I buried my head even deeper into my book. As he walked past me, giving me a what are you doing face before sitting down.
"I'm trying to hide from you so that I'll live to see another day." I muttered under my breath, "That's what I'm doing."
Lucky for me, he was sitting right beside me. I feel soooo lucky. I thought sarcastically as the girls in class started to glare daggers at me, literally trying to burn a hole through my head. I sneaked a peek at them and their eyes said I want to kill you.
At least it was better than being at home.
Maybe.
>>>Timeskip to break time<<<
The bell rang, indicating our break. I sighed in relief, knowing that I could finally escape those crazy fangirls. I took out my lunch box and stood up, practically running out of class.
I went up to the roof top, where I knew no one would be at. I opened up my lunch box, revealing (favourite food).
Before going to school I had gone to a nearby shop to get my lunch, since I obviously couldn't cook at home.
I looked up at the sky, admiring the clouds. Birds were flying in the sky, like they didn't have a care in the world. I sighed. I wished I was a bird, so I could be free and go anywhere I wanted.
I closed my lunch box and stood up, getting ready to go back to class.
"Where do you think you're going?"
I froze. When did he get here? I ignored him and walked past him, anxious to get to the door. He grabbed my shoulders. I tensed up.
"Let me go."
I gritted through my teeth as I attempted to wriggle out of his grip.
"Not until you tell me what's going on. What happened to you y/n? Where did the y/n I used to know go?"
"She disappeared along with her mother. Now just leave me alone."
I could already feel the tears as he finally loosened his grip. I blinked them away and ran to class.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I prepared for the next lesson.
>>>Timeskip to after school<<<
I packed my things as my classmates piled out one after another. As I looked up, I realised I was the only one left in class. I picked up my bag and prepared to go home. I silently prayed that he wasn't awake yet, so that I could stay in my room, escaping another day of pain.
As I started to walk briskly to the school gate, someone grabbed my arm. "Look. I told you to leave me alo..." I trailed off as I saw the anger and worry in his eyes. I avoided his eyes as he began speaking, anger and determination evident in his voice.
"Y/n. Tell. Me. What. Is. Going. On. Now." He punctuated each word, seeming to get angrier by the second. Suddenly I snapped. "I just don't want you to get hurt okay? So please just... just forget about me already." Tears trickled down my cheeks as I shook his hand off. He seemed surprised by my reaction. He didn't have time to react because I was already running towards my house at full speed.
Hakuryuu's POV
She... doesn't want me to get... hurt? What does that mean?
I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to find the reason behind her words.
>>>Timeskip to when you reach home<<<
Y/n's POV
I panted as I reached the doorsteps. I could hear footsteps coming my way. My heart sank. My head hung low as I shuffled into the house.
I looked up at him, hatred evident in his eyes. If he hates me so much, why doesn't he kill me already? Why must he put me through so much pain each day? Does it make him feel better about mom?
"You're late."
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."
He kicked my shin. I nearly collapsed, but managed to lean against the door.
"You're damn right it won't."
I closed my eyes, preparing for the next hit. He took out a knife from his pocket. My eyes widened in fear.
"Wh-What are you doing?"
He looked at me with a malicious grin.
"I'm going to fix you. For good."
My brain quickly processed what that meant and after what seemed like an eternity I bolted out of my house, running as fast as my legs would carry me. I wanted to scream for help but my throat was dry and my voice didn't seem to be working. However, sadly, I wasn't a very fast runner and he caught up with me in no time. He slashed the knife at my stomach, causing my skin to tear open. Blood immediately began gushing out from the open wound.
I managed to kick him at the place where the sun don't shine and he fell to the floor groaning in pain. This gave me a little time to think of how to escape. As I began running again, I accidentally bumped into someone. I stumbled and couldn't keep my balance as I fell to the floor, the amount of blood that I had lost was too much for my body to handle. My vision started to blur as I felt someone carrying me, bridal-style. I saw a flash of white as my eyes slowly closed.
Hakuryuu...?
>>>Flashback to after y/n started running to her house<<<
Hakuryuu's POV
I should follow her... But then again, she told me not to. Eh, it's not like I'm the type that listens anyway. From what y/n told me earlier and the look in her eyes, I could tell there was something she wasn't telling me, something very serious. She always wore long sleeved clothing. I know her very well so I know that she would never ever cut. And she had only started wearing long sleeved clothes after her mother...
Sudden horror and realisation dawned upon me as I put all the pieces together. Maybe something like... abuse? Would your own family member actually hurt you?
I tried my best to follow y/n while making sure she didn't see me. Everytime she stopped, I would panic a little and jump into a bush or hide behind a building. Miraculously, she didn't see me. I saw her enter a two-storey house. And she seemed to be... creeping in...?
Since she seemed okay, I decided to walk away as I didn't want to seem like a stalker. A few minutes later I could hear footsteps approaching me. I felt someone bump into me and as I turned around my eyes widened as I was met with the most horrific sight of my life.
>> Flashback end <<
Hakuryuu's POV
"Why didn't you tell me what's going on...? Now look what happened to you..." I whispered to no one in particular as she lay peacefully on the hospital bed. I could feel tears prick my eyes as I rapidly blinked to stop them from escaping. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I unconsciously held her hand, praying that she would wake up.
Y/n's POV (This part was inspired by Supernatural when Dean was a 'spirit' in a hospital)
Wait... Where am I?
I looked down, only to see... Hakuryuu? He was holding someone's hand. Wait... is that-
"Yes, that is you y/n."
I nearly fell back in surprise as I saw a girl a few years older than me with brown wavy hair stand before me.
"Who are you?" I was awestruck by how beatiful she was. Her skin was pale contrasting her dark brown hair. Her green emerald eyes stood out as she looked at me smiling.
"When people are about to die, this happens to them."
My eyes widened as I looked at my own body.
"Wh-What? No, I can't die yet!"
In a panic I tried to get Hakuryuu's attention, although I was pretty sure he couldn't hear me.
He seemed to be holding back tears as he held my ha- Wait whaaat? He's holding my hand?
I was a little startled when he started talking.
"Y/n... Please you have to wake up..!"
I desperately wanted to go to him and let him know I was actually here, but I couldn't. "I will, don't worry."
Hakuryuu's POV
"Hmm? I swear I heard y/n just now..."
I shook it off since she was obviously still unconscious.
"I'm probably going crazy... crazy for you that is. Oh god, now I'm talking to myself."
A tear slid down my face as I looked at her still body, almost as if she was already dead.
Y/n's POV
My heart fluttered when he said that.
Does he mean it?
My heart ached when I saw his tear. I wanted to comfort him and reassure him that everything was alright, that I was here. But I couldn't
I looked back at the woman.
"Please, you have to get me back into my body!"
She just looked at me pitifully.
"I'm really sorry but there is nothing I can do..."
She trailed off as she stared at me. I raised an eyebrow. I looked down at myself and realised I was fading. Wait. What? She looked at me and smiled softly.
"You have been given a second chance at life. Be grateful and don't miss out on the chances that you are given ."
I suddenly felt faint and everything went black.
Hakuryuu's POV
I was so tired I was dozing off. Just then, I could feel the hand I was holding tighten just a bit in my grip. I nearly fell off my chair as I looked at y/n excitedly and anxiously. "Ngh..."
y/n's eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room.
I blinked my eyes a few times.
Am I seeing things?
She looked around until her eyes landed on me. "Hakuryuu...? Hakuryuu!" She suddenly sat up and hugged me as tightly as she could. I could feel sobs rack her body as she cried on my shoulder.
"Don't worry... He can't hurt you anymore."
>> Flashback to when you were 6 <<
Y/n's POV
"Hey... give it back Hakuryuu!"
I pouted as he chuckled while holding my teddy bear. He raised it all the way above his head as I pouted.
"Why don't you try to take it back huh?"
He stuck out his tongue at me as I attempted to take it back from him. Sadly I was a very short girl for my age.
Suddenly an idea came into my head and I kicked him in his area.
The soft toy immediately dropped to the ground as groans of pain could be heard from the poor boy.
"Are you okay?!"
"Yeah, just a little..."
He sweatdropped as he realised I was talking to my teddy bear.
"Don't worry beary he can't hurt you now."
>> Flashback End <<
Hakuryuu's POV
Sobs slowly became sniffles and occassional hiccups as she calmed down.
"...Why?"
I rose an eyebrow.
"Why do you even bother with me when you have so many other girls to choose from? Why bother with me when all I am being is a burden to you? Why bother with me when I was so cold and harsh to you?"
She looked like she was ready to cry all over again as I slowly tilted her head with my thumb to look at me. I chuckled a little.
"Because no one can replace you, baka. You are the only one in my heart, always have been and always will be."
I embraced her in a hug as she cried softly into my chest.
This time though, they were happy tears.
