The Ties Between Two Worlds Chapter 1
Blood was splattered everywhere.
Amongst the dead bodies on the floor, stood a girl with azure hair tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a black turtleneck shirt and a white skirt. Her black socks reached her thighs and she was wearing brown boots.
Her communication mirror shone, which meant someone was calling her. She looked at the mirror. A girl with short brown hair appeared with a smile on her face.
"We found him," The girl said.
"Where is he?"
"Human World."
The girl smirked, "Got it," She said before the other hung up. She put the communication mirror into her bag.
"I didn't expect to find him so soon," She said to herself, raising her head, revealing a pair of amethyst eyes, "Oh well, so much for this," She said, looking at the dead bodies.
A big hole appeared and she smirked, jumping into it, "We found you, Lucifer."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Kurama glared at the creatures in front of him. They looked human but the energy they were emitting wasn't Demon energy or Spirit energy and they weren't normal humans, too. What the fuck are they? He wondered.
He was just walking home when they attacked him. He had used all of his attacks and none of them seems to work. It seems to slow them down a bit, though.
One of them raised his clawed hands and laugh maniacally, launching an attack at Kurama. The fox was barely able to dodge! His eyes widened before they narrowed. Whatever they were, they were strong.
The same creature was about to launch an attack again. Kurama closed his eyes, waiting for the blow. After a few seconds of waiting and feeling nothing, he opened his eyes. His emerald eyes widened.
In front of him stood a girl with the most beautiful amethyst eyes he ever seen and he felt himself drowning into them.
"Hey." He snapped out of his thoughts when she spoke. He turned his head to her, eyeing her suspiciously. She raised her eyebrow at him, completely ignoring the suspicious stares he was throwing at her, "I didn't think your father locked all of your powers, Lucifer. I'm surprised. No wonder you can't handle these weaklings."
Huh?
His brows furrowed, confused. She blinked at him. It took her a moment to realize he had lost his memories. She smirked, "Amnesia, huh?" He glared at her.
"No. I don't have amnesia."
She rolled her eyes, "Yes, you do. If you don't, you would've recognized me." She said, pointing a finger at herself.
He was about to protest but was cut off when one of the creatures tried to stab the girl but failed when she dodged it, disappearing. Kurama's eyes widened.
She's faster than Hiei. He thought.
The creature looked around. No sign of the girl. He turned his head to Kurama and smirked, approaching him. Kurama didn't back away. Instead, he glared. The creature was too preoccupied with trying to scare Kurama that he didn't notice the girl appeared behind him.
Before the creature could stab him, the girl had held a knife to his neck, "Touch him and I'll kill you." She threatened. Kurama's eyes widened when he saw her eyes glowed red.
The creature withdrew his sword from Kurama slowly and gulped down a lump. "Now turn around." She ordered. He did what she told. The girl smirked and removed the knife from its position and walked towards Kurama. The creature's eyes widened at the scene in front of him.
There was nothing left of his fellow comrades but disfigured heads. He knew it was the girl's doing and he wondered when and how she did it without him noticing. His eyes widened in realization. No, she can't be her, right?
He gulped down a lump, "Black Exorcist?"
The girl froze. She turned her head to him, her expression unreadable before her lips quirked up into a smirk. She lifted her skirt a little, revealing a tattoo of a skull. The creature backed away from her, "D-Don't kill me. I-I b-beg of you," He begged, on his knees, his body trembling and his voice laced with fear.
She narrowed her eyes at him, "You're pathetic," She said. The creature cringed. She smirked before she lifted her hand up and red flames engulfed her hand, "Sorry, but I can't do that." She said, touching his head with her blazing hand and his body turned into ashes.
Kurama, stunned, his eyes wide. She turned her head to him and smirked, "Don't get mad over this, 'kay?" She said.
His brows furrowed.
Huh?
He was about to say something but was caught off guard when the girl hit him over the head. His vision became blurry and his eyes slowly close. The last thing he saw was the girl smiling sweetly at him.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Kurama jerked out of the bed, blinking a couple of times before realizing that he was back in his room. He heaved a sigh of relief, glad that it was just a dream. He turned his head to the right and saw—
-Her.
"Yo." She greeted. His eyes widened and he felt like fainting due to shock right then and there. He blinked when he noticed there were others.
A girl with short brown hair smiled at him, sitting on his chair. A girl with sea-green hair bowed politely. A girl with long brown hair eyed him suspiciously, her arms crossed. A girl with blue hair grinned at him, leaning against the wall. Another girl with purple hair was reading a book. His book.
His brows furrowed. "Who are you?" He asked.
She blinked before her lips quirked up into a grin, "We're your bodyguards."
Huh? I don't remember hiring bodyguards. He thought as he narrowed his eyes suspiciously at them, "Really?" He asked suspiciously. She rolled her eyes, "You seem to have lost your memories."
"Like I said before, I don't—"
She cut him off, "You don't remember anything about your childhood, right?" He blinked. How did she knew? "No, I don't have any memories of my childhood." He said.
She crossed her arms, "Then you did lose your memories."
"It doesn't have any—"
She cut him off again, "Oh, it does have something to do with us," His brows furrowed, "What?"
She sighed, "You weren't born a demon. You're an Alice."
"A what?"
"An Alice."
"What the fuck is that?"
"You see, there are actually five worlds." She said, holding up five fingers, "One, Human World. Second, Spirit World. Third, Demon World. Fourth, The Netherworld and the last is Pandora which is where we came from." She explained, pointing towards her and her friends, "Alices are creatures that inhabit that world."
He was slowly understanding, nodding his head, "And?" He gestured her to continue.
"Pandora is very much similar to the Demon World. The only difference is that Alices are creatures that were born with Demon energy mixed with Flames energy." She said. His brows furrowed, "Flames energy?"
She nodded, "Flames energy is very rare. You see, before an Alice is born, they were humans." His eyes widened, "The human is usually special, born with Spirit energy and supernatural powers."
"So you're saying Alices has Demon energy, Spirit energy and supernatural powers?" He asked, his eyes wide. She nodded. He looked down, "Oh."
He couldn't believe it. He was stronger than he is right now!
'You should be proud of yourself. Alices are the strongest creatures in the five worlds. And you're the second strongest after your father. You rule our world." The sea-green hair girl said.
His eyes were so wide that he was almost sure they would burst from their sockets. Second strongest?! That means he's really strong! And what? He was a prince!
"Surprised?" The azure hair girl asked, raising her eyebrow at him, amused. He nodded slowly.
"And yet you couldn't defeat D-Class Alices..." She mumbled. He glared at her.
"Oh, leave him alone. His father locked his powers!" The brown hair girl said.
Kurama turned his head to her, "Why did he do that?" He asked, confused. She blinked at him before sighing, "You were just..." She trailed off, thinking of a suitable word, "...small that time—" Before she could continue, he cut her off, "Small?" He asked, sounded irritated. She laughed nervously, "Well, you were 1000 years old but according to our world, you were still a child back then."
He pouted. She laughed at his behaviour, "Anyway, your father locked your powers because he thought you were dead." She said. He nodded, "Ookay..."
"And when an Alice dies, their powers will escape to one of the other worlds beside Pandora. And to prevent your powers from falling into the wrong hands, he locked them." She snickered, "Imagine our surprise when we found out you were still alive. Then your father sent us to find you."
He nodded, "What happened until I ended up in Demon World?" He asked. She blinked at him for a few times before explaining, "Someone tried to kill you but he wasn't able to. The only thing he was able to do was erasing your memories of the past and abandoned you in Demon World."
Silence.
"Oh." Was all Kurama could say, surprised.
Then the blue hair girl grinned, "I'm Hanon. That's Akiko," She said, pointing at the girl with long brown hair. "And that's Shiko," She said, pointing to the girl who was still reading his book.
"I'm Yukina," The sea-green hair girl said, smiling. "Keiko," The brown hair girl introduced herself.
He turned his head towards the azure hair girl. She smirked, "Botan." He smiled, "Kurama." They blinked at him. He raised his eyebrows at them.
Keiko shook her head, smiling, "Sorry, we're just used to hearing Lucifer instead of... Kurama."
He smiled. "That's okay. You'll get used to it."
He averted his gaze to Botan and frowned when she glared at him, her expression cold. He didn't get her. She was hard to understand. One moment she's nice and cold the next. What was wrong with her?
