Wataten: A Symbiote Flew Down to Me - Chapter 6

As the sun began to set, Miyako dashed across the streets. With every step she felt more uneasy, but wasn't sure why

Wanting to get there quicker, she looked to see if anyone was around, and shot a quick web. Zipping her up and through the roofs.

“Why are we going so fast?”

Miyako: I have to see Matsumoto. I’m worried I might have offended her..

She thought back to the other night. She didn’t mean to run away like that, it was only her instinct reaction in the heat of the moment. It haunted her mind as she landed at Matsumoto’s door. She knocked quickly, a little too hard

Someone answered, but it wasn’t Matsumoto, it was Yu

Yu: Myako!

Miyako: H-Hi Yu-Chan!..

She bends down and smiles at her

“She looks tasty.”

Miyako: -3-

Miyako: May I come in? Is Matsumoto home?

Yu: Onee? Mhm!

She motions for Miyako to come in

Yu: This way!

Miyako follows her inside, Yu led her upstairs to Matsumotos room

Yu: Onee here!

Miyako: Thank you!

Yu smiled and ran downstairs

Miyako: Phew.. here we go..
“Do not take too long. I’m starting to get hungry.”

Miyako ignored Venom as she stepped in. It was dark and quiet

Miyako: Matsimoto-San?.. Are you in here?

Her eyes wandered around.. Until she spotted her on her bed sitting with her head tucked in her legs. She looked sad.

Miyako: Matsumoto-San!! Are you ok.. I um.. Heard you ran into some trouble last night..

Matumoto: …

She looks at Miyako, but different from how she normally does. It was a sad little frown

Matsumoto: H-how long

Miyako: Eh..

Matsumoto: HOW LONG?! STOP PRETENDING!!!

Miyako: !..

Her shout made Miyako flinch back. She’d never seen Matsumoto angry before

Matsumoto: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING SOMEONE!!

Miyako: B-But it’s the truth!! I promise!! I’m not!!

Matsumoto: Then who were you talking to.

Miyako: I-I.. it’s hard to explain.. p-please you have to believe me.

Matsumoto gets up and walks towards Miayko

Matsumoto: Miyako-San. I’ve always looked up to you.. I’ve wanted to be you. You were my inspiration.

Miyako: …

Matsumoto: After spending so much time with you I thought we were close. I was happy to see another side of you. But after what I saw..

She turns Miyako around.. And slowly walks her out of her door.

Matsumoto: All of the respect I had for you came crashing down. You..

Her voice was growing more angry. And shaky, like she was holding back tears

Matsumoto: You're a horrible person.

Before closing the door she chokes out one last thing finally shedding a tear.

Matsumoto: I can’t believe I was in love with you.

She slammed the door.

Miyako: . . .

She was frozen, sinking in everything. Her expression grew pale. As she walked out, not remembering if she closed the door behind her, not remembering if she said goodbye to Yu.

Hinata was home by herself since everyone left when Miyako returned

Hinata: !, Mya-Nee!!-

Miayko ignored her and slowly slugged up the stairs

Hinata: ..Mya-Nee?..

She went into her room and locked the door, webbing it up for further measure. Sinking into her bed she stared at her ceiling.

Miyako: ..Matsumoto.. Loved me?..

“She always showed great affection towards you.”


Miyako: Maybe it was a little weird sometimes but.. She was still my friend..

“Have you ever given a thought. Perhaps she is like you.”

Miyako: …

“She doesn't know how to properly convey her emotions. But she still tries. Does that not make sense?”

It made perfect sense. That's why Miyako grew angry. Tendrils began to rise from her like stress veins

Miyako: Mgh. This is my fault. Imagine what seeing that must have done to her.. I-I have to fix this.

She looks in the mirror, at her black veined self.

Miyako: But she can't know about you..

Miyako: …

She stopped and realized.

Miyako: You. This is your fault.

“..what.”

If you would have never come in this wouldn't have happened.

“But you're our host. Do you not remember all the good that's-”

Miyako: Good? GOOD?! EVER SINCE YOU TOOK MY BODY I'VE BEEN HUNGRY. OVEREATING. ACTING WEIRD IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS GOOD.

Her suit aggressively crawls onto her, covering her face.

“Miyako-”

Miyako: NO!! GET OFF ME!!!

She tries to pull her mask open. Opening up a little spot where her mouth was. She screamed with her half human half alien face.

Miyako: PLEASE.. JUST GO AWAY!!!..

She sprawled back trying to rip it off. But as soon as she let go it retraced back over her mouth, like letting go of a rubber band.

Miyako: NO!!

Her hands clenched and back as she tried to pull. She was flailing everywhere around her room. Eventually knocking over a speaker, it blasted out music.

Miyako: AUUUUGHHHHH!!!!!!

“AUUUUUGHHHH!!!!”

Her suit trembled and melted a little off her, showing some hints of skin. Tentacles began to spring out and flail everywhere aggressively. As her mask split open and formed teeth around the openings.

It roared

“RRRAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH.”

Miyako: PLEASE MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP..

“YOU'RE JUST WEAK MIYAKO. YOU CAN'T HANDLE OUR POWER.”

The speakers slowly lowered and broke

Miyako panted. She felt as if she had just experienced death.

“I never asked for it though.. Have you ever thought of that..”

She crawled in bed crying softly, it melted back into her tracksuit

Miyako: Not like there's much I can do.. You can just eat me or something if I’m bad.

“..no.”

Her tracksuit began to return to its black form as it crawled off her. For good. Tendrils retracted from her chest and hands down to her legs.. As they finally let go of her feet. She was free. Before it released itself from her. It said

“We don’t need you.”

Slowly. It crawled away out the window. Leaving a naked Miyako alone in her bed. She shut the window

“..Finally..”

She didn't bother to get any clothes, she simply rolled herself in the covers and instantly fell asleep. Not caring where it went, as long as it was away from her.


Meanwhile. Matsumoto was still in her room. All of her posters and photos of Miyako were ripped up. Her board was split in two, her room was a mess of broken things. She sat in the middle of her room cupping her face.

Matsumoto: Why.. why.. why.. why.. Why.. how could she do this..

Her eyes grew watery as she wiped them. When something caught her eye. A little teny stain on the floor

Matsumoto: Hm?..

She crawled over to it, it looks like something Miyako dropped when Matsumoto pushed her out

Matumoto: Perhaps I could have been a little gentler..

Matsumoto picked it up. It felt icky.. And gooey.

Matsumoto: Eugh.. yuck..

She wiggled her arm trying to get it off. No use

Matumoto: Huh?

Suddenly. It started to spread and crawl from her hand down her arm

Matsumoto: !!! W-what?! What's this!..

They were black, then they started to split into red tendrils. Like a mix. They aggressively went down her arm in her shirt. She could feel it crawl down her chest and across to her other arm

Matsumoto: AUgh!.. Whats happening!.. H-help me!!

She began to panic. Her other arm trying to scoop it off, but it just crawled up that one too.

Matsumoto: AUGH!! What is this stuff!?!?!

Her breaths became faster, she was hyperventilating. Until she heard a voice
“You’ve been betrayed. Haven't you.”

Matsumoto: …

It completely covered the first arm. As the other was halfway there

Matsumoto: N-no!.. I might have been too harsh on Miyako-San..

“No. We did everything for her. And how did she repay us.”

Her other arm was complete. They both had sharp black claws for nails. Tiny strands made their way down her to her legs each wrapping over the other one by one

Matsumoto: ..has she ever wanted us?..

“Never. Miyako is a terrible person.”

Matsumoto: …

She began to calm down. Standing up slowly

Matsumoto: A terrible person.

She held out her arms and let it continue. Relaxing, she began to feel a strange sensation. Matsumoto wasn't sure what it was, but she wanted more of it.

“What has she done for us in return.”

Matsumoto: Nothing!!!

“WHAT DID SHE DO TO US.”

Matsumoto: SHE DESTROYED OUR HEART.

Her face went from angry. To a smile. Tendrils wrapped over her feet completing her neck down. She moaned rubbing her body

“YES.. SO WE’LL DESTROY HERS.”

She screamed in a distorted voice

Matsumoto: COMPLETE ME.. NOW.

Finally, it crawled over her face. She was completely inside. One with it. She laughed, she loved it. It felt so powerful. It was a red suit with a black vine pattern. It seemed to know she was angry. White pointy triangles formed on her face in place of her eyes. But this time, black teeth formed where her mouth was.

Matsumoto: We. Will bring carnage to Miyako.
