《4 Letters Long [OHSHC]》07| Akane

"What now? Another splash in the fa-- aah!" Honey-senpai shrieks.
I turn around and saw a huge wave that formed behind us which was about to wipe us out.
"Hold your breath Honey-senpa--" Water crashed into us and I felt myself being driven by the water currents and my world went dark.
"
I heard words in the distance, a voice. And a pair of lips on mine... wait, what?!
I cough and forced myself to wake up. My vision blurred and cleared. Blurred and cleared before my vision regained focus-- only to see Honey-senpai.
"Honey...?" I sit up.
"Akane!" He hugged my neck. He hadn't called me by my actual name before, but I was too dazed to think about it.
"I thought you were dead! You weren't breathing so I did mouth-to-mouth. Thank god I did it or you would've..."
Died. I almost died. I was so close, to losing my life if it weren't for Honey-senpai. I sigh and let myself fall back down with Honey still hugging me.
"Thank you... Thank you, Honey-senpai..." I hug him and he tightened his grip around my neck. When he finally released me, I sit up and he stared warily at me-- well my body.
"Honey-senpai? Now's not the time to be perverted." I say, hugging my chest. I had nothing to show, but I did so just in case.
"No, it's not that..." Honey says. I look down and saw them. My scars.
"What happened? How did you..."
"Look, don't tell the others. I... I've kept this a secret for five years and I'm not going to stop now." I say, harsher than I mean to be.
"It was from a car accident." I say.
"And?"
"That's it."

"No."
"Honey-senpai, I'm telling you--"
"No, you're not. I can see it in your eyes." He touches my cheek and I flinch.
"And I don't think this is water on your face." I didn't even realize I was crying. I wipe my eyes on the back of my hand.
"This was not how I expected this day to go." I say, laughing weakly.
"Me neither." Honey smiles. He hugged me once more.
"Now tell me everything."
"
After I spent around half an hour explaining everything, we agreed to keep it a secret and finally set out to find the others.
My clothes were dried, so my scars were no longer visible. But they did stung still from the water. Suddenly, my sharp hearing picked up voices.
"Wait, hear that?" We stop and we listen. The didn't sound like any of the hosts' voices, so we cautiously followed the direction of the voices.
"Put the young man down at once." said a man.
"Wait, hold on. I believe your mistaken..." Haruhi! I peer over a bush and saw Mori and Haruhi surrounded by men in armor and black.
What are they doing?
"Hey, Honey-senpai what do we--" Honey was gone.
"What the--"
"Akane! Move out!" Honey's voice says. As I was about to take a step, a big hand grabbed my arm.
"Uwah!"
"Hey! Who are you?!" A man said. The guy who grabbed me flung me into the center. What was with people and grabbing me today?!
"Akane!" Haruhi exclaims. I land on my feet and stood up to face her.
"Haruhi what is going on--" I felt something poke my head.
A gun?! For what?!
I immediately paused, making no movement.
"Answer the question!"
"Uh... um..." I was at loss for words.

"Look out guys!" We look to see Honey swing on a vine and came bolting at us. I move out of the way and he landed in my place.
"
"Hurting my friends is a no-no!" Honey says.
"Honey-senpai! Mori-senpai! Haruhi! Akane!" Tamaki shouts. We all turn and see the other four hosts run towards us.
"Good, they found you." Kyoya states.
"They tried to kill us!" I protest.
"Yes, that was my fault on that part." Kyoya shrugs.
"Oops."
"'Oops' is all you have to say?!" I sigh, and turn to the others who were having a discussion with the men Honey had beaten up.
"This was too much for one day, I'm going home."

Founding of Humanity - Animalist
This is the dawn of the age of mankind. It is time to push back the wilderness and establish the kingdoms and empires that will govern this land. Players, the elect of the gods, are now coming to help humanity fight back. The dark ages are ended, and now is the time to lay the foundation! Now is the time to establish civilization! This is the Founding of Humanity! I am building this world for my own amusement, releases are not on any kind of schedule. I got to thinking "what if a beast tamer was changed by what they tamed" and this game mechanic sprung to mind. I do not know where this story is going. The main character is becoming a skill hoarder, as that is an advantage of the class design. The game system in this story is insipred by Log Horizon and Sword Art Online, where you get a skill and that is the skill, instead of getting a skill and then leveling it through tiers and rankings.
