Their dub names are so weird...
Protector
The red haired teen girl ran. Ran, ran far away. Not heeding her father's cries for her calling out her name. She ran crying from the image of her parents laughing at her no longer being a burden to them.
'Daddy was laughing!' She thought sadly with a smile adorning her face. 'So, I'll laugh too! I'll laugh and set these powers free- Daddy, who is so afraid of these powers!' The girl chuckled darkly to herself as an effort to ease her own pain.
She ran and ran fueled by the desire to distance herself further from the scene she just witnessed. But still the image burned itself into her mind. It just would not go away. She ran faster hoping making herself tired would make her forget. She ran and ran until she exhausted herself collapsing on her knees on the ground. She breathed heavily her mind momentarily blank of all things, only concentrating on breathing. She looked up to her surroundings amber eyes seeking a place to rest properly. She saw that she ended up in a playground.
She stood up and walked towards the swings. She sat on one slowly catching her breath. When she did she grew angry as the scene again played in her mind. She gripped the swing chains and the wind blew through harshly sweeping up dust and leaves on the ground. Her hair wildly flew as an aura emitted itself around her body. She heard the jingling of the swing chains beside her. She turned her head and saw a young man sitting there calmly. The wind died down and her aura dissipated as realization hit her. He saw it.
She stood up quickly wanting to runaway again. Before she could the young man grabbed onto her arm keeping her in place. She struggled for her hand to be released.
"I'm sorry." The young man said causing her to stop struggling. "I'm sorry I couldn't get to you sooner." She peered at him from her bangs. The young man looked up to her Myrtle eyes showing sadness seeing her pain. He then looked away. His hold on her arm loosened. "If only we could have taken you earlier…" He paused looking down to the ground. He held up his hands to his head frustrated. "Maybe then you wouldn't be so hurt now." She thought about running away from the stranger but… The way he sounded so sad made her rooted to the ground. She looked at him.
"What do you mean by 'taken you earlier'?" She questioned quietly.
The young man looked up at the questioned. "Don't you know Izayoi-san?" The young man said sounding surprised. "You're not the only one with strange powers." He explained. "I am part of a group who takes care of people like you and me." She took a step back at the new information she was told.
"What are you talking about?" She yelled out to him. "What do you mean people like you and me?" She looked to the ground confused about all this. "How do you even know my name?" She asked tears silently falling to the ground.
"I'm sorry." The young man said standing up suddenly. "I didn't mean to upset you." He said reprimanding himself. "Let me explain from the beginning."
He told of his organization where people having certain abilities gathered to better control their power. He explained how it was also a utopia for them. No longer needing to worry about what people thought of them. The young girl hung to his every word.
"That still doesn't answer my question." She looked to him angry. "How do you know me? And who are you exactly?"
"My name is Divine. I am the head of the Arcadia Movement. We've been watching over you for some time now. We've been watching you since you turned six when we first saw your potential to be a Psychic Duelist." She grew more furious as he continued to speak. "We've been trying to get to you earlier."
"That's a lie!" She screamed out to him. "No one ever came for me! I was always alone." Tears leaked from her eyes again. "No one… ever… came…" She cried openly collapsing on the ground. The young man moved toward her and knelt down to her eye level.
"I came." He said. "I came to take you away from the pain your parents bring you." At the words she leapt onto his chest and cried even harder. The young man hesitantly hugged her bringing her closer to him. The young teen clung to him for comfort.
After sometime her crying slowly lessened and then ceased. She sat up suddenly cheeks stained red from crying and embarrassment for crying all over the young man. "I'm sorry." She whispered. The young man shook his head from side to side.
"It's all right." He said smiling petting her head. She looked at him a little confused but pleased at the gesture. "Izayoi-san…" He said uncertainly. "If you want you can come with me to my group." He asked her looking to her eyes. "There you can decide whether to stay with us or not." She looked to him filled with hope at finding a place to belong.
"Yes." She sounded. "I'll come with you." The young man smiled at her words. He then stood up then helped the young woman to her feet. He then grabbed his holophone and called for a ride. Shortly thereafter a car came and a man clad in green oriental clothes stepped out opening the door for them.
"Let's go Aki." He said holding out his hand towards her.
She stared at the offered hand and then up to the young man. With a shaking hand she reached out and grasped the hand and nodded. "Yes." The young man smiled again.
Author's Notes:
So I wrote this because I needed a break from writing in Rua's POV for so long for the fics "Rua's Thoughts" and "Rua's Thoughts 0". Writing this was certainly refreshing.
This was supposed to be a story that explains how Aki got her Black Rose dragon card. Instead it turned into a sort of Aki's first few days in Arcadia Movement. Somewhere along the way though Aki will get Black Rose Dragon in this story. I planned it that way anyway.
Next chapter comes... I don't know... When I get back from vacation. So that will probably be in two weeks or so.
Leave a review please. I'd truly like to know what you guys thought of this. Since this is a first for me. Writing about Aki.
