READ OR DIE: The Lightning Master
Okay, guys. This is my newest fic. I got tired of just coming up with ideas, so I figured its best just to type it! Anyway, my parents don't know I'm an official Fan fiction Author, so as long as they don't know, that's cool. Anyway, The British Library Special Forces Division has just recruited a new agent named Koichi Sterling. His adventures with Yomiko and the rest of the gang unfold in this fiction.
Koichi sat in the window of the room in which the sound freak was defeated. Koichi, being as carefully idiotic as he usually is, didn't notice that he was over 300 feet above the lake, which bordered the castle. Instead, he sat on the window sill just reminiscing about his adventure with Yomiko here. Now, Nancy was there, picking up shards of glass from the window that broke about a few weeks ago and examing for fingerprints and other things that would lead them both to make an arrest. Koichi was short, but tough. He was about 5'4" and weighed 135 pounds. He wore a skin-tight vest, with black baggy pants. His boots were high and thick. They too, of course were black.
He looked like one of the ANBU black ops from Naruto, but you get my point. He wore a mask to cover his face on missions. He wore a furry black ratty wig that resembled the god of death from Japanese folklore and myth. Only, the hair was black, not white. Koichi's mask had the face of a cat, and little sculpted ears stuck out from the top corners of his mask. His arms showed considerable muscle volume, which made him not appear so weak, even though he was short. He was also about 17 years old. He wore thick black gloves with rubber pads on his hands. They too, were black.
Nancy, on the other hand, didn't mind having her face exposed. She kept her long blue hair flowing downward to let it hang near her buttocks. She wore her skin-tight outfit from when she fought the I-Gin clones in 2001. Koichi was still in training for stealth back then, and was about 12, when he was a snobby little brat (doesn't he remind you of someone?). She bent down, picking up a small ripped piece of paper, and examined it. "Looks like we found evidence that paper-masters were here." She said, Koichi paying no attention. "What? What did you say?" Koichi said, clueless as he turned his covered face toward Nancy.
Nancy's face quickly went from bored to freak out. "Why the hell do you have to wear that god-awful wig?" Nancy quickly complained. Koichi jumped right in front of Nancy and stared into her face. "Look, lady! If you've got a problem with my outfit, then keep your comments to yourself!" He exclaimed. Koichi then caught a glimpse of something interesting. It was a small puddle of blood, and a broken glass next to it. "Oh my God, who in their right mind, drinks blood?!" He said. Nancy ran over to take a look. "That doesn't look like blood to me. Looks more like a fancy thick wine of some sort." She said, trying to be an optimist. "Oh yeah, and what company do you suppose makes that shit?" Koichi grumbled.
"Why do you always try to piss people off? Ugh, what a friggin' pain." Nancy complained. She then walked away to where she saw what looked like a dead bat. "UGH! GEEZ! WHO THE HELL LEAVES DEAD ANIMALS ON THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T BOTHER TO CLEAN UP?!!" Nancy screamed. "QUIET, WILL YA?!!" Koichi yelled back. "I get enough shit from Joker, and even he's not as much of a pain as you! Even 'Agent Paper' is more pleasant!" Koichi complained.
Koichi had decided to stay away from Nancy for the rest of the mission. After all, she was the one pissing him off. "Okay, you know what? Why don't we just split and search for clues somewhere else? We'll cover more ground that way." Koichi then ran off into the shadows of the castle's walls that they provided for him. It was night, of course, making searching a whole lot more difficult. Aside from that, Koichi appeared to be happy to get away from Nancy, having more energy than Anita, who was here before he and Nancy.
Meanwhile, Yomiko was in the huge library burying her-self in books about the castle's history to find structural clues to the design. She had been fascinated by the architecture ever since she came here. She wore her trademark big coat, her thick glasses, and her trademark teacher's outfit under her coat. She wore shoes that made her look more like a high school girl than a teacher. The library was huge, and the rows of books appeared to be at least five stories high, all filled with books from novels to records about Count Vlad Tepes Dracula of the Romanian's dark historical medieval ages. The room was cylindrical in shape and was part of the tower that led to the study, library and the treasury. There were several couches to accommodate guests, weary from traveling.
Koichi suddenly screeched to a halt when he saw Yomiko reading as soon as he found the room. "Hey, sensei, we're supposed to be finding clues, not being lazy!" Koichi yelled to her. Yomiko simply waved back at him. "It's okay, I've actually learned a few things about the structure of this castle," She replied. "Did you know that this whole castle was centered on the flow of sound? Basically, the whole castle is made of a rare type of stone that can bounce sound waves all over the castle, making it easier to catch night-time intruders." Koichi just stood there, not understanding a word she just said. "Uh, yeah that's great and all but—"He was cut off by Yomiko who was starting to speak. "This may lead us to find out who the one behind the disappearance of all three of the very important books that were traced back here. Whoever had it, wanted to make sure no one trying to steal it would get out alive." She said.
Koichi looked down at the floor and found a dead bat. "Ugh. Whoever lived here must have been a taxidermist, or something." Koichi said, still looking at the bat in a disgusted manner. Yomiko stood up from the couch and began to put back the books where she found them. Koichi took notice and observed her to make sure she was really putting them away. He also wanted to be sure that she wouldn't get distracted and start taking more books off of the shelves. She climbed up the ladder and slid across the racks and climbed down and put back all of the books. Then, something caught her interest. It was a big book. It looked like one of the very important books from the British Library. "This has got to be it!" Yomiko said excitedly.
"What, did you find it?" Koichi asked. Yomiko turned her head to Koichi. "Yes, in fact I did." She answered. Yomiko grabbed the book and walked away from the shelves. She then stopped in front of Koichi. "Well, shouldn't we be going, now?" She said. "Ah, yeah sensei, I think we should!" Koichi replied.
IN TOKYO, THE THREE PAPER SISTERS, WITH NENENE, ARE STILL TRYING TO SETTLE ON AGREEABLE TERMS…
"Hey, Michelle, that's my side!" yelled a little girl with pink hair. The room was not very big, and shaped like a square. There was a futon, of course, with a curtain separating the two halves. Anita King, was short, pink-haired, and had green eyes. She wore her red pajamas that looked as if she were dressed like a China-Doll. She had hair in buns, and wore her hair short. Anita liked to be called by her name, but Nenene always reffered to Anita as "Little Brat". She was short-tempered and couldn't stand it when her sisters got into her business. "Get off of my side, Michelle!" Yelled the little Anita. Michelle, of course was asleep, not knowing that she was on Anita's side of the futon.
Unlike Anita, Michelle was an adult. She was about 25 going on 26. Michelle had long, blonde hair, which she let hang. She had soft green eyes, which aren't able to be seen at the moment (well, duh she's asleep). She was wearing a white night gown, which down to her lower legs. Michelle snored softly as she dreamt a sweet dream. "Ugh, I'll have to move her myself, or at least wake her up with a paper-cut!" Anita said to herself. Anita climbed on to her side of the futon, and tried to move Michelle, but to no avail. "Dammit! How much does this woman weigh?!" Anita said as she pushed.
"Hey, stop it, that tickles." Michelle said in her sleep. Anita stopped pushing and just decided to give up for now. "Whatever." she said as she pulled herself under the covers.
Okay, did you all like Chapter 1? It may not have any action now, but just wait. It'll get better, I promise!
