A Holy Halloween!
s-CRY-ed FanFiction
By: SirenWarren09
Straight Cougar walked through Holy with a bored expression on his face. As he walked he noticed the Halloween decorations up. Paper bats and spiders hung about with orange and yellow streamers and fake cobwebs on the walls. Pictures of witches flying by the moon were taped about and pumpkins were on most of the large tables. It was fall again. Outside there were orange, red, and, yellow leaves all over the ground, the air was cool a lot, getting colder day by day for the coming winter. Cougar didn't perticularly like Autumn. You can't drive convertibles. It's too cold. And then when the snow comes it ruins the top. And the leaves get all over the tires.
"Cougar!" A female voice called from behind him. "Hey, Cougar!" Cougar turned to see no one there. He turned back around. "BOO!" A blonde girl shouted in his face. He fell back.
"Holy hell! Are you trying to give me a heart attack, Dori!" Cougar yelled.
"No, it's Halloween! Why do you look so down?" She huffed. Cougar looked at her. She stood tall enough that she reached his chest, she had a curvey, thin figure, her skin was a creamy peach. She had long blonde hair to her midback with black streaks in it. Her eyes were a gentle light blue, and she had a broad white smile. She wore a regular Holy uniform with boots that came to her knees and oddly enough gloves, the hymn line came just above her knees for her uniform. She also had a big black witch's hat on.
"Why are you wearing that thing?" Cougar asked. "You look ridiculous, Dorinda."
"I told you! It's Halloween! Thats my favorite Holiday! And besides, I've bewitched many people before. Why not dress the way I act?" Dorinda smiled.
"Because, if you dressed the way you tend to act you'd be in one of those psycho clown suits from one of those weird horror flicks you like." Cougar replied. "Besides, it's not Halloween yet. You've got three days. Count 'em 1, 2, 3." Cougar held up three fingers.
"Whatever. Stick in the mud. You're just jealous because I'm gonna have a cooler costume than you at the All Hallow's Eve celebration." Dorinda grinned. "I'm making mine. What're you gonna be?"
"Nothing. I'm not going. It's a waste of time." Cougar replied to her.
"Too bad. There's going to be a contest for the best male and female costumes. I was hoping you'd compete." Dorinda said, knowing Cougar well. He'd never say no to a competition. Whether it was of speed or anything else.
"Contest, you say?" Cougar had a grin spread across his lips. "Really? Maybe I will go. So, who's taking you? Ryuho?"
"No, I asked him but he said that he was taking Mimori Kiriu. I guess Scheris and Tachibana are going together, too. Ellyon. . . Um, no thanks, not into dating little kids. Um, I can't really think of anyone that'd go with me. Kigetsuki, is creepy and I swear if Kyouji Mujo lays a finger near me I'll kill his insane, Ryuho obsessed, highly medicated ass!" Dorinda said.
"Really? I see. I agree with you on Ellyon and Mujo. . . . And Kigetsuki. He's as creepy as they come. Well, I guess that leaves. . . me. Unless there's a different member of Holy you have your heart set on." Cougar smiled.
"Weeeeeeeell. . . . . Now that you mention it, Cougar, there might be one person." Dorinda teased.
"Oh yeah, who?" Cougar asked.
"Kazuma the shell bullet." Dorinda answered.
"Kazuya! Why him! He's not even a member of Holy!" Cougar gasped.
"It's Kazuma! And besides, no one will know! Except Ryuho. . . . And Mimori Kiriu. . . . Maybe." Dorinda sighed. "Hey, how come you always remember my name correctly but never anyone else's?" Dorinda asked.
"You've got an easy name, Dorky." Cougar chuckled.
"You did that on purpose!" Dorinda growled.
"Whatever, why would you want a guy like Kazuya? He's too rough for you." Cougar put his hands in his pockets.
"Well, it's not like anyone's offering to take me!" Dorinda said.
"What if I took you?" Cougar asked, looking at her over his pink glasses.
"You? Um. . . Well. . . . Sure. I'd go with you. . . If you want that is." Dorinda blushed slightly.
"Well, I'd take you. . . . If you wanted me to." Cougar replied looking away from her.
"Okay, then. . . . I guess. . . we're going together." Dorinda smiled at the thought. "So, what're you gonna be?"
"Hunh?" Cougar asked as he started to walk forward with Dorinda. "Oh, um, I dunno. How bout a race car driver? I do love my speed!" Cougar grinned wickedly.
"The drug or your car? Because you act like your high." Dorinda asked.
"Both. . . . Maybe. I was reffering to my car." Cougar said. "But seriously, maybe I'll be. . . I should be a vampire!"
"Why a vampire?" Dorinda asked.
"Because, I'd look hott in the suit and cape." Cougar laughed. "What're you being again?"
"I'm not telling. You'll see." Dorinda smiled. "I gotta go, Cougar! I gotta finish my costume!" Dorinda ran off down the hall. She stopped and turned. "Cougar, hey!"
"Yeah?" Cougar turned to her.
"Watch out for--CRASH!-- That." Dorinda sighed. A younger boy had walked into Cougar, carrying a tray of glass cups. Dorinda ran over. "Are you okay?" She examined the boy's cuts. "They're not deep. Here." Dorinda ran over to a closet and opened it. Dorinda came back with a First Aid kit. She began to clean the cuts and administer bandades. "How bout you, Cougar? You still alive?" Dorinda noticed a deep cut on his arm, the glass shard still wedged into his flesh. Dorinda took his arm. "This'll hurt. . . A lot." Dorinda grabbed the glass gently and pulled on it, the large shard slowly easing out of Cougar's skin. "The fastest guy around and you couldn't dodge a few glass shards." Dorinda saw the twisted look of pain on Cougar's face, although he was trying to hide. She yanked the shard out in one swift flick of her wrist. Cougar bit his lips. That shard was wedged in there good. Dorinda smiled. "Thank god, it's not bleeding as much as I thought it would. Not even close." She started to clean the wound and bandaged it gently with the kit's gauze.
"Wow, Dorinda, you did well." Ryuho walked up. "Where did you learn to take care of cuts like that?"
"It's common sense. Get the glass out, and get it patched up." Dorinda replied.
"Yes, but if it were just anyone they would've ripped the shard out right away. You slowly eased it away from anything extremely vital like tendons. Then when it was safe you tore it out as painlessly as possible." Ryuho said.
Dorinda looked away. "What're you talking about, Ryuho? I just got lucky. You'll be fine, Cougar. The bleeding should stop soon, if not change the gauze in a half hour. And make surre you keep cleaning it very well." Dorinda stood and walked off.
"Well, that was weird." Cougar said holding his arm lightly.
"Why're you so upset that he's right?" Kyouji Mujo appeared next to Dorinda.
"Go away, Mujo." Dorinda scoffed. Dorinda took off her gloves and wiped her forehead. "I don't wanna deal with you right now."
"Well, tell me. You knew what you were doing. Why are you ashamed of it?" Mujo gripped her wrist tightly.
"Don't touch me!" Dorinda yelped, a white light surrounded her. She grabbed her chest. "Let go! Let go of me! Let go of me, Mujo!" Dorinda shrieked.
Cougar stood up, hearing Dorinda. Ryuho tensed. "Let's go." Ryuho said simply as he and Cougar walked into the other hall. Ryuho stopped. "What's he doing to her!"
Mujo let go. "Wh-What was that!" He panted for breath. "What did you just do!"
Cougar ran over. "Her! How do we know it wasn't you!" Cougar held Dorinda's shoulders. "Are you all right? What did he do to you?"
"No. . . Mujo's telling the truth. It was me. Not him. That power wasn't his. That power was mine." Dorinda panted. "Some advice, when I say go away, I mean it!" Dorinda stood up. "I-I'm going back to my room now. You'll be fine, Mujo. It's not like I electricuted you." Dorinda walked away.
"Mujo, what happened?" Ryuho asked.
"I grabbed her wrist and she starts screaming bloody murder not to mention that weird light surrounded her. And I. . . I felt like I was losing. . . Like I was losing power. . . Or something else." Mujo explained. "It was like she was stealing my life away. It sounds ludacris, I know. But hey, stranger things have happened."
"Stealing his. . ." Ryuho drifted off.
". . . Life away?" Cougar finished.
