Midnight's Requiem

Chapter one

This is a story that most of you have probably already heard. An average everyday girl that loves to watch anime suddenly finds herself thrown into one of her favorite shows. Then she's stuck to face some evil demon in order to save both worlds from some disaster. Of course not before finding out she has suddenly gained some sort of powers.

Don't get me wrong it's not as boring as it may seem at first. There are some differences in this story that most others don't have. If you want to know what I'm talking about then keep reading to find out.

My story starts on a seemingly normal day. I got up fifteen minutes late for a ten minute walk to school. Jumping out of bed I ran to my closet to find something to wear. I wasn't in a picky mood today so I just grabbed the first pair of black jeans I saw and put them on. Then got one of my favorite sleeveless T shirts. It was a plain white shirt that said 'Hey! My face is up here'. with an arrow pointing up. I didn't really have the time to look for anything else and as I passed the mirror I noticed the red rat's nest I call my hair.

"Man how the hell does it manage to do that every night? I swear someone has it out for me."

Finding a hair brush took another three and a half minutes so I got out what knots I could. Pulling the rest up int a sloppy bun I looked myself over in the mirror for a second time to make sure it was at least half way decent. Not that it was the first time it had ever happened to me but I wasn't going to walk out the door looking like a bum.

Looking over at the clock I realized I'd wasted another fifteen minutes so it looked like I'd have to grab a piece of toast on my way out the door. As my luck would have it the toaster was broken again so it was looking like another morning without breakfast. Just great. Now I'm beginning to wonder why I even get out of bed monday morning.

It had rained sometime in the early hours so the ground was still soaked, I sadly found out as I stepped off of the curb and put my foot in a rather deep puddle. Score three for me. Oh well getting back to the point. I finally arrived just as the late bell for first period rang. It wasn't so bad that I missed homeroom, the teacher was really nice and probably wouldn't say anything if I explained it to her. My algebra teacher was another matter though. She would give detention to pope if he made her wait.

As I entered the room I took my seat next to my best friend, and fellow lover of all things anime, Joann. She was wearing another one of her sundresses. This one was a light yellow color with flowers on it. Her dark brown hair was back in her usual braid and of course she looked great as always. Not that I would call myself ugly or anything but I've thought myself to be a bit average. You know the type. Not too tall or short, too thin or heavy but some where in the middle.
Joann could be a little goofie at times, but she could also be serious, and she was also very friendly. That is of course unless you got on her bad side. She had been like a sister to me ever since my father died when I was about six or seven. We always spent the weekends at each other's houses so we could watch our favorite animes together. Usually it would end up with a fight over if InuYasha or Sesshoumaru was better.

She currently was grinning about something for which I was at a loss as to what it could be. Unless she managed to con her mother into buying the Outlaw Star dvd box set, there wasn't too many things that could make her smile like that.

"So what has you grinning like you just got away with murder?"

"Oh nothing. If by some miracle you can get your eyes off of James's ass you would be able to see that the old hag isn't here to teach the class."

"That's weird. Mrs. Hinton would miss her own funeral if it meant making our lives a little more miserable."

"Hey maybe she lost her teeth and she won't go out of the house without them."

"Yeah, maybe... Hopefully we'll get something better to look at for a few days."

I looked over towards the clock, just as someone was walking in the room, and the weirdest thing happened. You know how everyone thinks that there's something wrong with the clocks in the school that makes the day longer? Well as I was looking at the minute hand it actually started to tick backwards. But before I knew what happened there was a hand waving in front of my face.

"Hello earth to Crystal. Is anyone home?"

"Huh. I'm sorry did you say something?"

"Geeze you're really out of it. I said did you see that fine piece of a man that just walked into the room?"

I looked up to the blackboard to see a guy looking at the class. He was wearing snug fitting jeans and short sleeve button up shirt. Joann's description of him was far off to say the least. He wasn't just fine he was hot with a capital h-o-t. From his short black hair to stunning smile and the nicely toned muscles you could just barely make out under his shirt. I thought he was almost perfect, that was until I looked into his eyes. Those eyes looked very cold. It sent a shutter through my body as they moved to look into mine. He kept staring at me for what seemed like forever before he moved on to the next person.

"Hey check out mister hottie. I wonder what happened that would cause this good fortune?"

"I don't know Joann. There something... I don't know... not right with him."

"Oh pu-lease. He's like the poster boy for hotness. Even you have to admit that James would have a run for his money if that guy was about ten year younger."

I didn't say anything to her comment. I didn't want to have to explain why I felt the way I did. Truth be told I didn't have an explanation myself. Just that there was something... well off about him. Almost a feeling like it's something that didn't quite belong there. I don't know if anyone else has ever had one of those feelings but it leaves a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.

The rest of the day was uneventful. The morning's events already forgotten as I entered the lunch room to look for Joann. She was in her usual spot with Beth.

Beth and I didn't meet until Jr. High. She was a very soft spoken person most of the time. Not to say she couldn't be loud though and believe me when I say may ears could have done without some of the noise she was capable of producing. Her short light brown hair was actually out of that ridiculous pony tail she's insisted on keeping it in and she was wearing another one of her self proclaimed 'fashion trendy' outfits. She wasn't what I would call ugly but of course she wasn't about to win any beauty contests.

Oh come on. I know what everyone is thinking. How could you think that about someone you call your friend. Well it's not what you think. I respect Beth completely and I would never think any less of her because she wasn't model worthy. I've always believed it's the personality not the person's face that counts.
They were currently fighting about weather or not Hiei could beat Kuwabara in a fight. Of course Beth was currently loosing that particular argument. Nothing against her taste in favorite characters, but lets face it Kuwabara isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the bunch. Not that I hate him or anything but I do like Hiei more. I must say one thing on Kuwabara's behalf he does have a kind heart and a code that he wouldn't break even if it meant sacrificing his life. I remember the episode during the dark tournament when they had to fight Dr. Ichigaki's Team. Kuwabara refused to kill them even though it could have meant his own death. Doing something like that always gets bonus points in my book.

Grabbing a plate, I made my way over to the two with an idea as how to end their fight. Smiling, I sat down and innocently looked over towards the two.

"You know I don't know why you two keep insisting on fighting over who's better. You're both too hard headed to change your point of view." Pausing I took a bite of my meatloaf. It was probably one of the few things on the menu that doesn't contain any meat what so ever. "But you know if you want to talk about something interesting why not Kurama? I should probably tell you both something about him you may not know."

I took that time to take a drink of my soda. They were both looking at me as if I suddenly knew something important that they weren't privy to.
They both started to get annoyed with me as I took my sweet time drinking. I thought better say something before they both go psycho on me...

"You know the only thing strait about the guy is his grades."
I know I shouldn't have said it cause hell he's one of my favorite characters. It was at that moment I realized my mistake. To think people say the his fan girls in the show are dangerous. At least they don't have to put up with my friends. I accidentally ducked behind Brittney -insert evil laugh- the stereo typical ditsy blond cheerleader bimbo, as Joann threw her mashed potatoes.

Needless to say it started a major food fight for which my two friends and I was blamed for. So that brings us to the end of the day where the three of us sat in detention. We were talking about working on a crossover fan fiction with either Ruroni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho or InuYasha and Wolf's Rain,when Mr. Drake aka mister evil eyes walked through the door.

"It would seem that you three have caused quite a mess in the cafeteria. I don't suppose you have anything to say for yourselves?... No. Well I must say I'm surprised when I found out you three were involved."

He stopped talking long enough to sit down on his desk, crossing his hands on his lap as he looked right at us.

"Even though I've only spent one class with you I did take time to look over your files and I must say that with a few exceptions you have very impressive records."

I tensed up a little bit when he looked over to me. I knew what he was trying to say without actually saying it. It wasn't exactly odd for me to... lets say... miss a few classes I didn't care for, namely gym. Not that I hated it but the teacher was a total bitch. Not to mention the few fights I had gotten into with the self proclaimed 'popular people'.

He didn't say anything else to us and a sort of normal feeling returned as I let out a breath I didn't even know I had been holding.

"Hey Guys, I said, is it just me or does it feel like something isn't quite right?"

"Sorry Crystal ball. It's just you."

"Oh come on Joann you know I hate it when you call me that."

"Hey no need to spaz. We'll be out of here in no time and sadly we'll have to leave the eye candy behind."

Beth and Joann started to talk about something but my mind was already on other things waiting for the bell to ring.

--

Well fast forward to the end of the week because I doubt you want to hear the boring routine of a teenage girl. As my algebra class ended Mr. Drake told me to stay behind because he had something he wanted to talk to me about.

"You know Ms. Walker I must say I am rather curious as to why you feel the need to cut out on some of your classes. Is there someone bothering you? Or perhaps it's something else."

"No Mr. Drake nothing's wrong.

"You don't need to call me Mr. Drake. It sounds to formal. Why not call me Ash."

"Umm... Ok... Ash. Like I said nothing's wrong. I like my class just fine and the kids act the same way as they always have. Sure I don't get along with everybody but it isn't anything that I would call a problem."

"Well I didn't expect you to open up to me right away, but just so you know if you feel the need to talk to anyone my door is always open. Weather you believe it or not I'm here to help you and I'll do whatever I can to make sure all of my students can work in a stress free environment. You are a very bright student when you apply yourself. From what I've heard you've already taken several class in foreign languages."

"I'm ok. You don't need to worry about me. If you don't mind I'm going to be late getting to my english class."

"Here take this pass. If your teacher shouldn't have a problem with you being tardy. All you have to do is explain that I needed to talk to you. Just remember what I said. If you need to talk you know where to find me."

At this point you're probably wondering why I mentioned this when I said I wasn't going to bore you with my daily routine. It was what happened as I was walking towards my class. I was looking out one of the windows when dark clouds suddenly covered the sky. Outside the wind blew violently sending trash flying through the air. There was a loud rumble in the sky just as a bolt of lightning hit the ground. It had struck so close that I was forced to close my eyes. I ended up seeing spots for the rest of the day because of that.

But back to the freak storm.

As I opened my eyes I could make out a blurry figure of a person in a black cloak standing outside looking at me. Or at least I assumed that's what they were doing because lets face it at that time I was practically blinded by the flash that went off in front of my face. It was strange and a little creepy. It's almost as if they were trying to call out to me without even saying a word.

I tried to focus but just as quickly as the figure appeared it was gone.

By the time I got home it was getting a little late. I took out my home work and turned on the computer so Joann, Beth and I could IM each other. I made sure to put up a page that had some kind of research stuff on it just in case my mom got home from work and asked me what I was doing.

A little sneaky, I know but what can I say. All parents are like friend Nazis. They tell you, 'you need to make more friends'. Then when you do they're all like 'you need to get off that phone. You have enough time to talk to your friends at school'. Ch, yeah right.

Well as we were sending each other messages the lights started to dim. Lucky for me the computer didn't turn off, but somehow another person by the screen name of ladydeath popped up. If that wasn't weird enough they sent me a message saying 'It's not safe anymore. Beware of those who would try to use you'.

After reading this I was thinking that somebody in the hospital forgot to keep an eye open for the mental patient with a computer. Forget the fact that a person I didn't even know was IMing me, but I mean come on. What would possess any sane person to send something like that.

I sent a message back saying 'Yeah like people who forgot to take their meds and have nothing better to do then try to scare someone'.

With that said I was just going to shut down the computer when another message popped up saying 'This isn't a threat. Someone will be looking for you. If they haven't found you already. Beware the wondering soul'.

"Wandering soul? What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

Against my better judgment I sent a reply. 'Wondering soul huh. I don't suppose you could be a little more specific... Like just who the hell you're talking about?'

'The wondering soul is an evil entity that wants to bring about the destruction of the worlds. But first it needs the powers of the Dark Light'

'Dark Light? Somebody's been hitting the bottle a little too hard lately. Darkness and light are like polar opposites. There's now way you could have both together. And what do you mean by worlds? Last time I checked there was just the one. Unless you really are a crazy person I don't see how that could happen.'
'I don't have time to explain. Trust me when I say it will stop at nothing to possess what it desires.'

'I don't suppose you could give me anything useful. Like where this spirit thing is suppose to be so I can stay away from it.'

'I don't know the answer to that. What I can tell you is there's something that says: If the soul of darkness possess the Dark Light all the worlds will turn to ash.'

You know how they say that hindsight is twenty-twenty? Well it's the time before you get to that point that always sucks. If I had known what the hell I would have been getting myself into I probably would have pulled the plug from the wall and tossed the computer out the window... Ok, ok maybe not, but it still sucked.

Of course I'm getting ahead of myself here so lets backpedal for a minute and get back to the creepy lady death person.

I was thinking about a reply when the power did go off. It seemed like it left the entire block in darkness. Now normally stupid kiddie stuff like that wouldn't scare me, but after the little freak session with Mrs. death I can admit I was a bit spooked. It's not everyday you're sitting down talking to your friends and some weirdo starts telling you your life is in danger.

I made my way to the kitchen where all of the candles, matches, and flashlights are kept, when a something suddenly accrued to me. Why the hell was it so dark when there was at least another hour or two of day light left?

By that point the hairs on the back of my neck started to stand on end and I made my way over my mom's knife set and grabbed the biggest one I could find.

I know it was probably stupid of me to do that... Hell I know it was, but it's like I was suddenly stuck in one of those cheesy horror movies. You know what I'm talking about. It's the ones where the bimbo always runs upstairs to get away from the psycho killer that sneak into the house.

I checked the doors and windows to make sure they were locked. Ok check and check for the first floor. Now to go upstairs and make sure everything's locked up tight.

Before I go any further with this all I have to say is five words 'movie bimbo move number one'. Everything seemed to be set upstairs when I entered my room. I looked at the window's lock and saw it was firmly in place so I figured I'd head back downstairs and wait till the power was back on.

When I turned around the person in black was standing in the middle of the room. He didn't move or make a sound and I was so shocked by his appearance that I made bimbo mistake number two. I dropped the knife and tried to get past him. Before I could make it out the door he grabbed me by the arm and stuck some kind of sword in my chest.

As I fell to the floor I could barely hear him say something... What was that now? ... Oh yeah. He said: "Everything will be alright now. You can rest knowing your light will not fade away." I remember thinking 'Is this guy for real? How are things going to be ok? I'm dead damn it, DEAD.'

Pitiful last thought I know but hell put yourself in my shoes. In a situation like that you're not exactly going to be thinking 'I wonder if I passed the math finals, or damn now I'm going to miss my date with that really cute guy... uh... what's his name.'

By this point I could feel my spirit leaving my body. Let me tell you it one of the weirdest feeling I've ever had and I know you're probably trying to figure out how I'm suppose to save anything if I'm dead right. Well this is where the really strange shit starts happening.

And so ends chapter one. Hope you're interested and yeah I know I haven't updated Blood and Roses in a long time. I've been having some problems that I don't care to get into and I'm sure you don't want to hear.
