Hah! I did it! :D Anyways this is a backstory for Archer and Soldier, two OCs that I submitted for Felilla's Madness Never Dies
As of this chapter release- wait *runs off to double check* Okay, as of the chapter release these two have not been introduced to her story but she has accepted them.
She isn't accepting any other OCs so if you missed the boat, well, sucks to be you! :P
Soldier and Archer smiled as they waved goodbye, well Soldier smiled, Archer had on his grin and was moving his hand back and forth so fast you could barely see it.
A group of five was waving back, some calmly, some as fast or faster than Soldier. Ripper grinned and shouted, "You better write!"
Before the duo could respond Gunner called out, "If you don't Soldier I will track you down and kill you!"
The two parties shared a last chuckle before the twins turned and started walking up the steps to the DWMA, a new chapter in their lives.
Oh I'm sorry, I should start at the beginning shouldn't I?
Well I'm Rinji-
-..I'm Riko.
Shut it lil sis, I'm starting it off.
-.. I'm 5 minutes older than you
And I'm taller, be quiet.
Rinji suddenly sat up in bed, hitting his head on the low ceiling. He fell back rubbing the new bump in pain and annoyance. That was the third time this week, the third time! He groaned and his sister piped up below him, "Did you hit your head again?"
"..Yes" he grumbled, stupid ceiling. Upon hearing sniggers below he carefully hunched his shoulders as he sat up, his short brown hair brushing the ceiling. He made his way down the ladder and jumped off the second last rung, landing in a crouch, ninja, he smiled to himself.
"Well aren't you a perfect ninja." His sister taunted, echoing his thoughts but with a sarcastic tone.
He rolled his eyes and pulled her out of bed, "Come on, let's go get some food, it's saturday."
The two 8 and a half year olds made themselves a hasty breakfast of toast and cereal before sitting down to watch some television, allowing their parents a leisurely morning. In fact it was nearing lunchtime before their mother came out, rubbing her eye sleepily.
She smiled as walked into the living room to see her children engrossed in an anime, "Good morning."
The two glanced over their shoulders, "Morning mom!"
Their mother headed into the kitchen and smiled at the remnants of their breakfast neatly placed in the sink. She listened to her son's comments every other second and occasionally her daughters thoughts as she heated up some soup for lunch. After about 15 minutes she placed the bowls of soup on the table and called, "Lunch!"
The two came running and sat down, digging into their food. Their mother turned to glance at the fridge which was covered in sticky notes. Carefully she went through them, taking off the ones that were useless and reorganizing the ones that still had important information. She heard the dishes clink in the sink behind her and said, "You two have a play date with Ashley today, you should start getting ready now if you still want to go."
The twins grinned, "Okay," and headed upstairs. With a devious smile Riko pushed her brother into the bathroom and closed the door, "You're going first today!"
Rinji grumbled but quickly stripped and had his shower. With a devious smile of his own he dried himself off, hung up his towel and left the bathroom- butt naked. He slipped into his room to find his sister with her back to him. He silently creeped up behind her and whispered in her ear, "Boo"
Her first reaction was to shriek and flip over to see who is was, her second reaction was to flip back over and bury her face her her pillow muttering, "Not cool, not cool, not cool." She lifted her face from the pillow with her eyes closed, "MOM! RINJI'S NAKED AND HE DIDN'T WARN ME!"
"RINJI!" Their mom called from downstairs.
"Yeah, yeah." He muttered and rolled his eyes. He grabbed his sister's arm and led her out of their room.
Only when she heard the door close did she dare crack open her eyes. When she saw that she was alone in the hallway she breathed a sigh of relief. "BOO!"
"MOM!" She screamed again and rushed into the bathroom and shut the door, ignoring the faint giggles coming behind it.
"We are in so much trouble." Rinji muttered as he pulled his sister through the maze of side streets and alleys. They were lost, hopelessly so in fact. Maybe they should've taken the second right instead of the third left.. or maybe they should have just used the main streets instead of taking a 'shortcut'.
"Rinji, calm down" Riko says. While she didn't recognize the area either, she knew there were better ways to figure out where they were than running in circles.
When she received no response she jerked her arm from his grasp and stood with her arms crossed.
Her brother turned, obviously distressed, "Riko," he whined, "We're gonna be late, we're gonna get in trouble, who knows what could happen to us out here? We could get attacked my a mass murd-" He cut off when Riko grabbed his arm and started walking. He tugged his arm from her but continued walking.
With a sigh Riko said, "Thank you for calming down, we've been going in circles for at least 15 minutes."
Rinji glanced around nervously, noting the pitch blackness of the sky and the lack of artificial light in their surroundings. "Um Riko?" He poked her, "Do you have any idea where we are?"
She glared at him, "Do you?"
"No.." he mumbled and ducked his head.
The twins walked for 5 minutes, meeting various dead ends, how did we get this lost? Riko grumbled to herself as she turned from yet another dead end. A jolt of fear went through her suddenly and she froze up, earning a look of concern from her brother, "Are you okay?"
"Fine" she muttered and continued walking. She saw a lamp post at the end of one of the streets and almost cried with relief, instead she grabbed her brother's arm again and ran towards it.
"Thank God!" Rinji shouted and took the lead. Somehow though the shadows around them seemed to be darkening and when they were five feet away they understood why.
A large brick wall separated them from the bright light and the two whimpered in disbelief, why did fate torture them so? However, fate wasn't done playing with it's newest toys yet.
The twins winced and covered their ears in a vain attempt to block out the sudden scraping noise. Rinji glanced up and was shocked to see small sparks flying off both sides of the narrow alley. With a whimper of terror he carefully backed up until he hit the wall, his sister right beside him.
Riko absolutely refused to open her eyes and instead covered her face with her brother's right arm. "Please don't let it be something that will kill us." She murmured.
A deep, bone-chilling chuckle resounded from the shadows in front of them, "Children, I haven't eaten a child soul in a while, they're the best though."
Riko inhaled sharply and finally glanced up with wide eyes, we're going to die. She fell to her knees, bringing Rinji with her and buried her face in his side once more.
Rinji's eyes were glued to the form finally taking shape, it finally stepped into the light. That can't be human. He thought in a panic.
The figure was tall, and seemed masculine. With a disturbing mask Rinji's thoughts seemed logical.
"Hmm, well it's been fun kiddos but, I think it's time you left." The distinct sound of metal on metal was heard and Riko could only whimper pitifully as her brother's gaze was dragged to the figure's.. hands?
The figure's fingers were elongated and thin but gleamed in the misleading light of the lamppost. The figure laughed once more and the twin's knew it was the last sound they would hear as he swiped at their delicate forms.
Well, it's not the longest chapter I've ever written but it's not the shortest either. I'm only planning on 3 chapters, I just felt the need to write a little backstory to these two. :)
Tips, tricks and suggestions will probably be taken into consideration if I can, please submit those via review or PM, thanks! :D
