I think I'm capable of going through it now. Disclaimer. I am using these day titles from Parasite Eve. Couldn't think of anything else. Ayashi no Yuugi By Ayanosuke Day 2: Fusion Part 1 ----------------------------------------- [Dreaming Memories 1] The playground, once filled with children, now became a deserted place. The bell rung at the end of the day. Only cherry blossoms were falling onto the ground as the breeze blew past the entire trees. In the center of the playground stood a young boy wearing his school uniform. His hair was ruffled up because he had gotten into a fight. He also had a bruise on his left cheek. The boy was crying. "Are you okay?" A soft female voice appeared out of nowhere. 7-year- old Kamui Shirou turned to notice a young girl with dark purple hair tied in two pigtails. She also wore a school uniform and held her case in one hand. "Did you get hurt?" Kamui took one glance at her and sniffed. He found himself blushing in her presence. "H-hai!" "You don't look like it." The girl examined his face. "Did you get into a fight?" "Hai....." Kamui answered while lowering his head in shame. He never thought he'd speak with someone else besides his mother since they moved from Tokyo. "With Hoichirou Tsubasa." "Tsubasa?!" "You know him?" "Know him? Tsubasa is the most scariest bully in this school. No student would dare go near him!" The girl exclaimed. "But now that I've met you, I'm surprised that you managed to survive." "Have you fought him before?" Kamui asked in curiosity. "You could say that...." The girl placed the case on the ground and rolled up one of her jacket sleeves. On her left arm was a large scar. It looked like a knife had cut open her skin. Kamui glanced at it and gasped in horror. "That's so awful!" Kamui's eyes were once again filled with tears. He felt sadness for the girl. "Tsubasa should be punished for this!" "He already is." "Nani?" "Before you got transffered here, I got into a fight with him. He cut open my arm and I was taken to the hospital. My mother sued Tsubasa's parents for this and threatened to have him punished if they didn't teach him dicipline." "I see. When did this happen?" "Four days ago." The girl found herself grinning at the young lad. "But don't worry. It takes time for Tsubasa to learn how to respect people." "You sure?" "Of course, I'm sure." Rolling her sleeve back to its normal state, the girl made a bow towards Kamui. "Are you Shirou Kamui?" "Hai!" Kamui made a slight bow. "How did you know my name?" "I'm from across the street from where you live." Kamui remembered seeing her before. After him and his mother moved inside a large house, Kamui saw a girl playing in a large pile of autumn leaves by herself. The girl was full of pure happiness though she noticed him watching her after she stopped. Then she waved at him. "Yeah, I remember you. You're that girl who played in the leaves during autumn." "You guessed it!" The girl giggled. But before she could speak, another child's voice intruppted their conversation. "Hey there, Inoue-san! Hurry up or we'll be late for our band rehearsal!" The other girl was waving at her. "Hai! I'm coming!" The girl turned back to Kamui. "Would you like to come with us?" "Iie." Kamui shook his head. "I have to go home. But thanks for asking." The girl frowned in disappointment. "I see. Well, let me know if you'd want some company. I'm always across the street!" After that, grabbing her case, she ran towards her other friends and waved bye to Kamui. He did the same thing and turned to leave the playground. Kamui smiled, knowing that he was going to have a great time here in school after all. [End of Dreaming Memories 1] ---------------------------------------- 2 A.M. It was already past midnight since the Dragons of Heaven returned back home. Ayane Matsushima had already said her goodbyes and left. Soon everyone went to sleep. Except Kamui, of course. The light was out in his room, but he never went to sleep. After having a dream, he was at the window watching the snow still fall on the ground. It was strange though. The woman he had just met last night looked familiar. Even if her name sounded familiar too. /I wonder if that was the girl from the past? She was very nice to me when I first approached her like the other girl I met during 4th grade./ Kamui sighed and turned from the window. He remembered meeting the young girl. She was very kind and gentle. And he found himself fond of her because of her caring nature. Even if her parents were very nice though Kamui hadn't seen the girl's father that much. He would of liked to get to know him better. But then, they had to move because of tragic event. The death of that girl's grandmother caused alot of grieve for her mother. If only he remembered who their names were. "What's the use? If I stay up this long, I'll end up wearing myself out on these thoughts." The teenager found himself going back to his bed and straightened his pajamas before he got in. Kamui said a slight prayer and covered himself with his blanket. After that, he closed his eyes and concentrated on sleeping. ------------------------------------ 10 A.M. That was the time when Takara Inoue woke up. She felt herself develop a splitting headache. Probably because she wasn't used to sleeping so long. Getting up from her large bed, Takara turned and noticed that it stopped snowing. /Finally. I almost thought Tokyo would be flooded with snow./ She turned her eyes from the large window and made her way inside the bathroom. Then she turned on the shower so she could get herself ready to leave for the museum. Taking off her long raspberry-colored silk nightgown and placing a shower cap on her head, Takara slipped into the shower and closed the glass door behind her. 5 minutes later, Takara had dried herself off and put on her nylon underwear. Then she went over to her wardrobe and brought out a few pieces of clothing. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Then a masculine voive. Kaneda's. "Takara? You awake?" "Yeah! I'm just getting myself ready." "Well, take your time. I just got up and I'm about to get myself ready. Give me 10 minutes, okay?" "Sure." Takara smirked. Guess she wasn't the only one who woke up late. Later on, she was already dressed in white turtleneck covered by a long lime-colored V-shaped shirt with blue stonewashed jeans. She also slipped on a pair of black suade leather boots. Takara let down her dark lavender hair as it rippled down to her waist. It's been seven years since she let it grow. Then she slipped on a pair of jade earrings. /How long will it take for Kaneda to get himself ready? Not that I want to rush my cousin or anything./ Glancing at the mirror, Takara went to her bed and made it up. Her thoughts were dancing with the exctiment of learning about the mysteries of religion from one of Kaneda's old college students. During her time, Takara had studied Greek and Roman mythology. She was still working on Norse mythology during her second college year because she wanted to become a historian based on mythology and religion. Once done with making the bed, Takara went over to the door and opened it. She left her bedroom and went straight downstairs into the kitchen. Food was already on the table though it looked cold. Takara sat down at the table and picked up a fork. On her plate were two pancakes and with blueberry syrup and blueberries on it. "So much for this." She sliced up her food and began eating, not caring much if her food was cold or not. Apparently, she was too excited and couldn't wait to leave. "Glad to see you're eating...." Kaneda spoke in a low tone, already dressed up. He wore a black silk shirt with brown pants. He also had on a pair of dark brown leather shoes. His short black hair was a bit wavy from one side. "You're actually eating your cold breakfast." A smirk came across Takara's face. "I get used to cold things, especially food." "Once you're done eating, let's go ahead and leave." "Okay." Takara kept eating her food while watching her cousin go over to the fridge and opening it. He grabbed one of the wrapped up turnover one of the cooks made last night during the parties. Going over to the microwave, he unwrapped his breakfast, heat it up, and then ate it. A few minutes later, they were done and left the house. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Underneath the Government Building, most of the DOE had already gathered. Kanoe was sitting on her throne watching as Satsuki played with her supercomputer. Yuuto stood by and watched. Nataku was sitting in a corner waiting for his /daddy/ to return. Kusanagi, Seishirou, and the Dark Kamui were nowhere to be found at this moment. Kanoe was getting irritated. "How long do we have to wait for the other Dragons of Earth to arrive?!" Yuuto turned after hearing the dreamgazer's loud voice. He was rather annoyed but responded. "I have no idea, Kanoe-san. But I am sure they'll here." "They better...." Kanoe mumbled under breath. Suddenly, /Kamui/ appeared from the darkness wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, leather shoes, and a leather coat. He also had his John Lennon glasses on. Once he approached his comrades, /Kamui/ looked around and noticed the Angels were just hanging around and doing what they always do. He found this rather annoying. "Is it just me or am I the only person here who thinks this is not the way we plan out our strategies?" Yuuto almost jumped when he heard the Dragon's voice. turning to him, he quickly bowed in apology. "Gomen, it's just that Kanoe-san--" "I don't care what Kanoe thinks. You just do what you're supposed to you and leave that pathetic woman to me." The Dark Kamui spoke coldly to him. Yuuto only nodded and walked away from Satsuki, regretting that he would have to leave her in a time like this. Kanoe watched as he left as turned to face /Kamui/. Her nerves had gone over to the point of anger and frustration. She got up and walked over to him. "Where have you been?" /Kamui/ looked over at her. "Out. Why should you care?" "I care about the destruction of the world!" Kanoe shouted. "You're really getting on my nerves, Kanoe....." /Kamui/ glared at her and tried not to have to urge to kill her right now. "If you want to live longer, I suggest you back off right now." "I don't care what you think. We have nearly six days before the End of the World--" Kanoe's voice was cut off as /Kamui/ reached and grabbed her by the throat. Her anger turned into deadly fear. "I am /Kamui/ and I decide the Earth's destiny. Keep this up and I might change my mind about your wish...." His voice was colder than ever. He let go of Kanoe and pushed her back violently. The dreamgazer tried not to fall but failed in her attempt. Satsuki wasn't paying any attention; Nataku just watched until it decided to get up. /Kamui/ turned to the android and smiled. "Come here, Nataku." Obediently, the android went over to its master and kneeled before him. /Kamui/ places his hand on its head and smoothly moved it through its hair. "At least, you obey my every wish. You, who haven't turned against me, is one of the people I can trust." Nataku purred. "I take it I'm not one of those people?" Seishirou had already approached wearing different clothes. He wore a casual denim shirt with black pants and a pair of black suade shoes. He was smirking. "Sorry if I eavesdropped on your conversation but I just couldn't resist the way you were handling that woman." /Kamui/ chuckled. "Why, thank you." He kept petting Nataku. "So how was the party last night?" "Pretty good....." Seishirou sighed. "I saw the Dragons of Heaven there. Though there was no bloodshed." "You mean, you didn't kill anyone? That's unlike you...." "Well, I wasn't in the mood. Besides, my old friend Kaneda was there." /Kamui/ grinned. "How was the reunion?" "We met with each two weeks ago. Kaneda is a part-time veternarian now." "Did you tell him who you were?" Seishirou arched an eyebrow at /Kamui/. "No. Even if I did, what difference would it make?" "You said you were going to tell that you were a Dragon of the Earth." "Something else came up...." The Sakurazukamori took out a cigarette and lit it. Then he began to smoke. "Apparently, I've been having talks with his cousin who just came here from the U.S." "Oh? Who is he?" /Kamui/'s eyes lit with slight interest. "It's not a he, it's a she. Her name is Takara Inoue. She's a college student." "A college student? How thoughtful...." Seishirou took one puff and looked straight at his comrade. "Why am I telling you this anyway? I shouldn't speak about other people, yet here I am talking to you; the one who is destined to destroy all humanity." /Kamui/ smirked. "Maybe it's because you're lonely?" This was where Seishirou froze. His eyes completely staring right at /Kamui/. Was he really lonely? If so, why was he talking to the Dragon of Earth? He shook his head and turned away. The only thing he heard throughout the silence was the chuckling coming from /Kamui/. He felt annoyed and decided to leave without saying a word. And that's what he just did. -------------------------------------------------- Stepping out of the Government Building, Seishirou Sakurazuka growled at himself for giving into these.../emotions/. What was he thinking when he was talking to the Dark Kamui? /Stop thinking about that right now. You have better things to do./ But it seemed that his emotions was kicking in. And whatever emotions he was developing, it made him worried. Shaking his head furiously, Seishirou stepped away from the building and decided to go over to the museum where Kaneda and Takara would go. End of Day 2: Fusion Part 1 Okay, how's this so far? I think I might be making Seishirou develop emotions during the six days. How weird of me..... Well, there's more to come.
