Hello! This is another story. You'll figure it out…! Possible OOC-ness, do not kill me! R&R!
At the edge of an undeveloped idea, in the margin of an empty page, between two incoherent thoughts of a giant mind, a voice rose out of the nothingness.
The voice spoke from the depths of unconsciousness and against all odds and laws of nature; it emerged out of the unbearable silence to speak a solitary word. Three words, in fact.
"What. The. Hell?"
The voice, heavy with outrage, broke this mysterious silence with a large splash and made ripples of unease on its still surface, which in turn gave birth to more ripples, which allowed for a second voice to utter:
"I fully agree with you"
"I really wish we could see each other", said another voice, clearly feminine, with a hint of fear but filled with a remarkable determination.
"If the damn rat is here too, then I hope it stays dark forever!!" Snapped an angry voice, uneasy despite the passion in its tone.
"Oh, don't say that Kyo-kun!!" The female voice implored worriedly.
"I don't mind not-seeing your ugly face, cat! Anyway, I could kick you so hard you'd stop feeling your ass, even in this darkness", a steady voice said with just a hint of menace.
"Please, please don't fight! Not here, not now! The female voice pleaded, now positively panicking.
A suppressed groan, a small sigh. And finally:
"Ok, I'll wait. But the stupid rat has no idea what's in store for him!"
"Glad we've figured that out! But now that your childish games are over, wouldn't it be better if we all figured out where we are so that I can get away from here as fast as possible?" Another voice had entered the conversation, its tone patronizing and condescending.
"Hiro-chan, you're here too!!" A child's voice exclaimed, full of relief mingled with joy.
"KISA!" Somebody gasped.
Then:
"I wonder if the other Juunishi are here too…"", someone wondered, and everybody seemed to freeze. Because if the others were all there, then Akito wasn't too far away either.
"Rin-san?" The female voice asked tentatively.
"What do you want?" Snapped another female voice, obviously belonging to a pissed-off Rin.
Then, from somewhere in the yet undetermined space came a large bang. Somebody could be heard falling on the ground. Another bang. A scream, then soft whining.
"Why did he have to HIT me…?"
"Momiji-kun??" The first female voice asked with hope.
"TOHRU!!"
"Onee-chan?"
"Tohru, Kyo HIT me, he hit me because I bumped into him, but you see, it wasn't my fault, it's dark, how could I know, but Tohru, nobody else would have hit me, it's just Kyo, he's meaaaaan…!!" A voice rambled on.
"Shut up, you stupid rabbit! You had no business walking around and bumping into people like that, why can't you sit still for a minute!" Yelled another voice angrily.
"Are all the Juunishi here??" The female voice said, addressing herself to the people in the dark room.
"Well, it was nice of you to ask, my beautiful little flower", answered a seductive male voice.
"I'm here, Tohru."
"Me too, Onee-chan."
"PRESENT!! X3"
"Wherever my dear Gure is, there shall I also be, forever. But where is my beloved Yuki??"
"I'm here, but please stop hugging me!"
"KYO! Kyo where are you?? I can't see you anywhere, Kyo…"
"EH!! Stay away from me!! Don't come near me!"
"Is-isn't Akito-san here too?" Asked the female voice slowly.
There was no answer.
"Does that mean my beloved Akito isn't here?" Said a male voice.
"Seems like it", replied another one.
"Oh! Ritsu and Kureno haven't said anything yet!!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for not talking before, I'm sorry I made you worry, really, I should have said something, I apologize…" poke gasp faint
"I'm here, Tohru, but I don't know where Akito is."
"IS he here?"
"I dunno."
"Hope he isn't…"
"SHHHHH, don't say that!! What if he IS here and hears you?"
"I don't care; I just want to get outta here!"
A collective scuffle started, as everybody began walking around trying to get a notion of their surroundings.
Finally, somebody pulled something with a rustle and a bright light swarmed into what seemed to be a large, empty white room, crowded with people. Fourteen people, to be exact.
"KYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Yelled Kagura and launched herself at Kyo, who ducked only seconds too late and found himself crumpled up in her violent embrace.
"Onee-chan", said Kisa, walking up to her big sister, who hugged her immediately. Ayame and Shigure were already glued together, whispering something into each-others ears. Haru stood aside, observing the scene calmly, Rin was sitting in a corner, looking down at her boots, Hiro was standing a few steps beside Kisa, looking at Tohru with envy, Ritsu was saying something to Kureno, who was looking off into the distance, Momiji was trying to climb onto Hatori's back and Kyo, who had managed to push Kagura away was glaring at Yuki, who was holding back a piece of dark velvet that had been covering a large window and looking outside.
After a while, everybody turned towards the window, and stared out, into the bright light.
"Where are we…?" Asked Tohru softly.
Nobody answered, because nobody knew.
And suddenly…
Tohru was walking through the corridors of the main house, looking around carefully, frightened, but also very brave. She was going to see her beloved Akito, and her step-momma, Ren-san. She couldn't wait!! But she had to be careful, because the demons were there: beings half-beast half-man, lurking in the shadows ready to grab her and eat her alive.
There were so many of them. Thirteen, in fact! All monstrous, horrible to behold, and evil to the core…
Lucky Akito was there to protect her!
Tohru found herself once again in the large white room, everybody staring at her.
"W-w-what happened?? Where was I?" she asked with surprise and confusion.
She wasn't the only one to ask herself that. A commotion started, everybody trying to figure out an answer, when all of a sudden a voice rose from the depths of time and space, to fill their minds like an intruder, and speak words that chilled them to the marrow of their bone.
"Well…THAT story was kinda boring. I have no ideas. Fuck. HEY! I know, I'll write something about Yuki and Akito next…maybe one of those angsty fics. Or maybe I can make some Akigure lemon. Or something OC-ish. GAWD! Maybe next time…"
"A-Akigure?" Shigure mumbled, clearly startled.
"Angsty fic…?" Frowned Yuki, trying to figure it out.
"WRITE?" Yelped Ayame. "That…thing is gonna write something about us."
"Write about US?" Tohru gasped, shock mingling with the obvious confusion on her face.
"Tohru, where were you just then?" Kyo asked, looking at Tohru with meaning.
"I don't know! Oh but it felt so strange and here was Akito…and I LIKED Akito, and you, I hated all of you…"
Tohru started crying. "What's happening to me??" she sobbed, looking at the others. "I'm going mad, right, crazy, I'm seeing visions…"
Then, Shigure said with a small sigh.
"I think it's pretty obvious now. Our destinies are in the hands of another writer!"
Hushed whispers, gasps and moans of all sorts ran around the room.
"D-d-does that mean we don't belong to Natsuki Takaya anymore…?" Murmured Kisa, looking around with big eyes.
"Don't worry, Kisa: I will protect you", Hiro reassured her, putting an arm around the young girls shoulders.
"This didn't feel at all like with Natsuki-chan!" Said Tohru trembling. "With her, it felt RIGHT! Like it was supposed to be the way it was…Not like…"
She shuddered.
"Only one possibility here", reflected Shigure. "Our destinies are in the hands of a TWISTED writer…"
That's when everybody was submerged by a wave of sheer desperation.
In the hands of a twisted writer, anything was possible…
ANYTHING!
