Darkness Six
Ch.1 - Alluring
Her life was considered perfect. A nice home, loving parents, a good and well known school, top grades, caring, trustworthy friends and everything she could ever want. She had it all….
And she felt trapped.
Akino Kisetsu always had everything given to her, everything she could ever want, but her parents were always busy, they expected her to get good grades and become a doctor or a lawyer. Everyday was the same, nothing changed. Everyone was the same, and no one would even dare to step out of the nice line. Akino was stuck in this line; a gray and white line that that she could not escape.
The light brown haired girl stared out the window as a class lecture went on. Akino didn't hate her life, she had no real reason to, but she felt too trapped. Her parents were never home, and when they were, they only ever talked about the young girl's grades and her future. Akino didn't hate her parents; she just…..didn't want them controlling her life. The young girl wanted to change. She wanted a thrill of some sort in her ever dull life. She wanted to act differently from the perfect posture that she showed everyone around her. She wanted something different to happen…
"Helloooo, Aki-chan, are you listening to me?" Miku said, waving her hand in front of her friend's face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Miku, what were you saying?" Akino said, snapping back into the world.
"I asked if you were free tonight," Miku pouted.
It seemed as though the long blue-green haired girl had been asking for a while now.
"Yeah, I guess so, why?" Akino asked.
It wasn't as if she had anything planned for the day. It was a Saturday and her parents were off working late again. In all truth, Akino was somewhat excited to know what Miku had planned. Anything to get rid of this dull feeling in the multi purple-color eyed girl's life.
"Well, I've never told anyone, but you seem like you need a little thrill in your life," Miku smiled.
She had no idea how right she was.
"Well," Miku leaned in closer and spoke in a hushed voice. "There's this nightclub I go to every weekend. It's really cool and you just lose yourself in the music."
"A nightclub?" Akino said out loud.
"Shhh!" the pig tailed girl hissed. "Keep your voice down," she scolded.
"S-sorry…" Akino stuttered.
"It's a bit of a nightclub mixed in with a host club. It's underground and not many people know about it, but this place is amazing," Miku said with excitement.
It seemed just thinking about the place made the high pitched girl squeal with delight.
Akino found this interesting, but at the same time, there was a feeling in her gut telling her not to go. Something was telling her that if she went, she wouldn't be able to come back. What was this unknown feeling? Was it the thrill of mystery? The excitement of actually doing something different? Maybe it had a little to do with the purple-eyed girl's parents. That might have been it. To do something behind their backs, to do the unthinkable and get rid of the perfect person she was.
"What do you say? Do you want to come with me?" Miku asked.
"Um… I don't know Miku…." Akino hesitated.
There was that thing still telling her not to go.
"Come on Aki-chan, you look so dead in class sometimes, it makes me worried. This will brighten you up, I promise!" the jumpy girl pleaded.
"Well…." The brown haired girl was still thinking it over.
"Pleeease?" Miku begged.
"Well…alright, just because it's you," Akino decided.
Besides, what's the worst that could possibly happen?
"Yes! Thank you Aki-chan, we'll go right after afterschool clubs," Miku grinned happily.
"We're not going to go home and change?" Akino asked, a little confused.
"There's no need to. Besides, after a certain hour, the club goes on lock down, and no one can get in."
The sudden glint in Miku's eyes made Akino shiver. Maybe she shouldn't go….
"What's the name of the club?" Akino asked as Miku began walking away.
There was no one in the classroom, so it was okay to ask out loud.
Miku turned with a small, playful smirk on her face. Now Akino was really considering whether or not she should go to this place…
"It's called…. Darkness Six."
…
….
…..
Just like the girl's agreed, after school clubs they hopped on the train and headed far south. Akino was a little worried, well, a little more then just worried. She was excited yes, but she was in a place she didn't recognize. The town looked run down, but it was colored in bright lights. When the young girl checked her cell, it was only 8:30. Miku seemed on edge. In fact, it looked as though she was panting. Was she really that excited?
"You look so excited, haven't you been here more then once?" Akino decided to ask.
"Oh, um….yeah I have, but it just never gets old. Every time I go there's always a new thrill," Miku said.
Akino was beginning to find this club more and more interesting. The name "Darkness Six" was defiantly something you wouldn't expect a host club to be called. Then again, it was a nightclub mixed together, so maybe it didn't seem all that weird. Akino sighed; she was just a bit too sheltered sometimes….
The two got off on Lunar Station. Another strange name for such a place is what the brunette haired girl thought. Miku pulled Akino down unfamiliar streets and past people and lights. They walk almost toward the end of town. Miku turned into a back ally, Akino following behind.
"W-where are we…?" Akino asked.
She was becoming more scared then excited.
"We're here…" Miku whispered.
Akino gulped as her pig tailed friend knocked on an unseen door.
"Who is it?" came a man's voice.
"It's Miku Hatsune, and I brought a friend this time," Miku replied.
The unseen door opened and a man dressed in a black suit came into view. He had red-brown hair in a low ponytail with a curl at the very end and his eyes were a darker shade of the color. His hand rose to lift up a pair of glasses that were hanging at the edge of his nose. The well dressed man gave a playful smirk before stepping aside with his arm out.
"Welcome back Miku, and welcome guest, to Darkness Six," the man said.
"Thank you Ted, it's nice to see you again," Miku smiled, as Ted closed the door.
"You weren't here last week, he was rather lonely," Ted said.
"Well I had midterms to study for. I can't have my grading slipping, now can I?" Miku giggled.
"Very true," chuckled the well dressed man.
"Who's 'he'?" Akino asked.
"Oh, just a friend," the pig tailed teen smiled.
Akino looked down the hall of this unknown place. The walls were gray and it looked as though only two people walking side by side could get through. This was a strange place and Akino's gut feeling was beginning to bubble up.
"Please, allow me to show you the way," Ted offered.
Miku smiled as though everything was normal. Then again, the blue-green haired girl came here far more then Akino. The brunette haired girl was not used to what ever this was. This Ted person was certainly making her believe this place was a host club though. He was welled dressed as well as well mannered.
The group came to a door behind a black curtain at the end of the hall and down a flight of stairs. Ted placed his hand on the brass knob and turned to look at Akino.
"Dear guest, I would like to ask for your name before we enter," Ted said.
"Oh, um…well I…" Akino was stuck in her thoughts for a moment.
"It doesn't have to be your real name, but I need some kind of identification for when you return," Ted explained.
"Oh, it's Akino Kisetsu but uh… I'm not sure if I'll be coming back, this place gives me goose bumps for some reason…" Akino admitted.
There was just something not right about this place. But what was it?
Ted smiled and said something Akino wasn't expecting.
"Oh, I guarantee you'll be returning again, Akino Kisetsu…"
And with that, Ted opened the door.
Lights, dancing, the pounding of the bass and techno music filled all of Akino's senses. Instead of sweat and heat, she could smell apples and cherries. There was a girl singing in a sweet tone, soft, soft, and then the blasting sound of techno filled the dance floor and the people moving. Akino's eyes couldn't move from where they were. Everything just seemed so magical.
"Miku this place is- Miku?"
Akino looked around. Where had the blue-green haired girl gone? Anxiety began to rise in the brunette haired girl as she looked for her friend. How was she going to get home if she couldn't find Miku.
Another song came on, a girl again, but sweeter, more passion. The people moved together, swayed their hips to the beat, spread their hands against the chest of the person they were dancing with.
"Miku? Miku where are you?" Akino called against the beat of the loud music.
"Oh, look what we have here…"
There were too many people that Akino was having a hard time seeing anything. The lights flashed, blues, purples whites, greens, it was almost overwhelming.
"Looks as though we have a lost little girl here…"
Akino had no choice; she had to go into the crowd to find her friend. The small girl stepped in, trying to move past the bodies and hands. She thought she saw long blue-green hair and tried calling out.
"Miku wait!"
It was no use. Akino stood in the middle of the dance floor, hands covering her ears and the smell of apples, cherries and musk filling her senses. She was wondering if she would pass out. Everything was so bright, so loud, so clouded. Where was she? What was she doing?
"Maybe I should help her out…ne?"
Akino wasn't getting a headache, which was surprising, but she couldn't see or think straight. How long had she just been standing there, covering her ears with her eyes closed?
"In this small world that doesn't pick one out of two."
Akino opened, or tried to open, one of her eyes. Who was that? Who was singing? The person sounded close.
"Within the rules that are becoming too complex."
The small girl tried looking around. No one was singing, she could only hear the bass and drumming of the techno music and breathing and panting of the people dancing. Where was that voice coming from?
"The only thing I can see is a dim freedom."
Akino came to realize, it was a boy's voice. But where was it coming from.
"There is no space between reality and thought.
His voice was sweet, like honey. Akino continued looking around but saw noting except dancing people.
"To the voice whispered in a silent mercy, will it be given?"
"If we decided to leave, will we be given permission to go?"
A soft hand touched her shoulder and Akino turned, only to see nothing. Was she losing her mind?
"M-Miku?" she called again.
"Is this world really someone else's dream?"
"C-come out, please stop scaring me…" Akino trembled.
"Or is it mine?"
The pounding of the music and sweetness of this boy's voice were making her go crazy. Akino covered her ears again and shut her eyes tight. She wanted to go home…
"I recognized that this was a game."
"Please stop…I want to go home…" the small girl pleaded.
"It was the game I started in."
Soft hands caressed her face and pulled her hands away from her ears. Akino kept her eyes shut as her feet began moving. The sweet voice singing to her didn't stop and began filling her mind with sweet nothings
"Filling up the dizzy world's space with only me…"
The boy's voice was closer. Nearly right next to her ear.
"I'll show you a whisper…"
Arms wrapped around her small waist, gentle fingers, gloved fingers, danced across her cheek. That's when Akino snapped her eyes open.
"I'll break away and spread my wings, filling this dizzy world with me."
When the music calmed down a softer, yet still jumpy tune, began to play. Akino stared at the boy in front on her.
Blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, a white dress shirt with a lazy yellow tie around his neck. His hands were covered with black gloves and he wore dress pants the same color of black. His eyes were blue, beautiful aqua blue. He wore a playful smirk across his face and let out a low chuckle. His voice dripped of sweet honey and sugar.
"Looks like you woke up. I didn't expect that to happen," the blonde haired boy said.
Close your eyes…
"Who…who are you…." Akino murmured.
The small girl flushed when she realized that this strange boy was holding her. And he was holding her rather close, his gloved fingers still playing along her cheek. His playful smiled widened a little.
…gently.
"You're different, you didn't fall under the trance," the boy completely ignored the question, and seemed rather amused.
"Trance? Wha-what are you talking about?" Akino asked, completely confused about what was going on.
The blonde boy grinned and pulled Akino with him, slipping behind a red curtain and pushing the small girl against a wall.
"Wha-what do you think you're doing?" Akino exclaimed.
Who did this guy think he was!
Allow yourself to be clamed…
"You're interesting, I think I like you," the boy declared.
Akino's eyes widened and her face turned cherry. What on earth was this guy saying? The two had only just met and this blonde haired boy was already pulling and holding her far too close for the brunette haired girl's liking. And the thing that was making matters worse is that this strange boy was leaning closer.
"I like you, you're not like the others," the boy said in a whisper.
…deeply, deeply.
He leaned in closer and Akino averted her gaze, only to see Miku right across from her. The small girl was shocked at what she was seeing.
Miku was pressed against the wall with a blue haired young man kissing down her neck. The blue-green haired girl's uniform was falling off her shoulders and her mouth hung open in what looked like a silent moan. The boy pressing against her had his hands up her skirt and knee between Miku's legs. When Akino looked down the hall, she saw that it wasn't only Miku. Down the hall, there were a number of couples kissing, feeling up one another, and even doing….
When ever you open your heart's door…
"Oh….oh my god…." Akino stammered out.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Hey now, I'll get jealous if you keep looking at Kaito."
The small girl turned her gaze back to the blonde boy holding her. He had a playful pout on his face and began twirling with a piece of light brown hair that wasn't up in Akino's ponytail.
…you drop anxiety and loneliness onto me.
"Wh-what is that guy doing to Miku!" Akino exclaimed, horror in her eyes.
"Ahhh, so you're Akino. No wonder I've never seen you before, this is your first time here," the blonde boy said, leaning in closer and ignoring the question again.
Akino flinched back and tried to bury herself into the wall. She could feel the boy's warm breath against her hair and temple. She shivered when his nose began to skim along her brown locks.
"You smell nice…" the boy breathed.
A white shadow that follows you everywhere…
"N-no, stop it, please…." Akino whimpered.
This world is one where you won't wake up until you get something…
The strange boy began running his lips through Akino's hair, inhaling her shampoo. Oddly enough, it smelled like apples. His hands slowly skimmed down her sides and she let out a soft yelp. She was interesting, but the blonde boy was beginning to feel disappointed. She was falling under the trance and submitting to him, just like the others. Maybe she wasn't the one he was looking for…
Only the shape of a heart like delicacy that could collapse at any time…
I want to abandon it without destroying it…
That's because this is proof that's similar to me.
"Too bad," the boy voiced out.
His hand slowly began to travel down Akino's leg. This is where he usually stopped if the girl let him do as he pleased. He didn't want that, and knew his Boss would scold him again later, but he didn't want to be like everyone else. He wanted his everyday to change and he was kind of hoping this girl would bring that change.
The one thing that everyone has…
…that everyone is careful with…
…the time to find it is now…
"Oh well, guess it can't be helped…" the boy whispered as he moved his lips to Akino's ear.
He rubbed his thumb against the small girl's leg before slipping his black gloved hand under her white school skirt…
In this time where you close your eyes and sink in deeply.
"Stop it!"
The boy was pushed away and his eyes widened in bewilderment at what had happened. He stared at the small girl, face flushed and hands gripping her chest. She looked upset and was biting her lip to hold back tears. The boy was surprised because Akino did the one thing he didn't expect.
She rejected him.
"You…..you pervert!" Akino yelled.
And she ran out.
The blonde haired boy stood where he was for a moment, before he took off after Akino.
The small girl pushed past bodies, trying to find her way out. She wanted out of this place, she wanted to get out!
"Wait!"
Akino's eyes widened. Was that strange, perverted boy really following after her? She dared not look back. Akino continued pushing, reaching out her arms to try and make her way out.
"Hey wait!" the boy called.
Akino was finally able to get out of the dancing crowd, but now she had to find a door. She franticly searched, becoming overwhelmed when the boy's voice was getting closer and closer. Taking a wild guess, Akino ran forward and found a black door that blended in with the walls. Not waiting another moment she flung the door open and tore through the black curtain. She tripped and tumbled as she ran up the stairs. The small girl practically flew when she recognized the familiar gray hallway.
Ted was standing by the main door smoking a cigarette when he suddenly heard the fast tapping of feet. He wondered who would be running down the hall at such a time, unless something had happened. Ted was ready to address the situation and was utterly surprised when it was Akino who came running down the halls faster then any messenger that had come looking for Ted.
"Kisetsu-san, is something wrong?" Ted asked in an alert tone.
He let out a yelp when the small girl pushed past him and grabbed the doorknob of the main door.
"Get me out of here! I want out!" Akino yelled.
Before Ted could do anything, he heard another pair of running feet. He was about to tell Akino that he would watch her if it was some drunk, because it had happened once or twice before, but to his astonishment, Akino pushed the main door open and ran into the awaiting night. Ted stared at the open door until the running behind him stopped and he looked behind him to see and panting blonde boy.
"Damnit….she ran away…." The boy breathed, resting his hands on his knees.
"Well this is surprising," Ted said.
The boy straightened up and ran a gloved hand through his blonde locks. After a minute of thinking he sighed.
"I lost her…" he voiced.
"It's rare to see you chasing after a girl. Did something happen?" Ted asked, closing the main door.
The boy let out another sigh.
"She's different, she pushed me away," the boy replied, closing his eyes.
"Oh, seems as though Len finally has the prey he was looking for," the well dressed man chuckled.
The blonde haired boy smirked when he opened his eyes.
"She'll come back. After all, this is only the first style of black I've shown her. And we all know that curiosity gets the better of people when they come to Darkness Six."
Ted chuckled at what Len said, and he agreed completely.
…
….
On the train home, Akino gripped her chest tight and curled in her seat. The train was nearly empty and the small girl just wanted to get home. She felt bad for leaving Miku, but she just…she just…
"I'm never going back. I won't ever go there," Akino sobbed, curling up more into herself.
Oh…how wrong she was…
Ray-chan: so, how was it?
R&R?
Thank you!
