The following is a bit of a take on Video Game Confessions which belongs to the comedic genius of Doug Walker of Channel Awesome. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super belong to Akira Toriyama, Toei Animation, Funimation, and Fuji TV. And to make this more fun to you the reader, I suggest putting on the theme from Video Game Confessions ( /watch?v=tCrrZ1NnCuM )
A/N: This will be the Season 2 pre-finale done in two parts all dealing with two ghosts of Ryo's past. Consider this a bit of a set up for what's to come next year. Oh, and if you are wondering who Hakusa is, she's a Saya-jin Time Patroller who appears in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 who wears a Scouter and will use it to measure the Future Warrior's Power Level and her responses are based on the Warrior's current level.
Anime Confessions – Ghosts of Ryo's Past (Part 1)
You're introduced to a young Saya-jin/Endurion male of African descent about 5'9'' with a lean frame. His hair spiked and black with eyes of light gray. He wears a typical outfit of a bartender for a fancy restaurant.
"This is Ryo Nazo Blackthorn, a semi-retired Time Patroller and younger brother to Jōshō. Ryo works in the seven-star restaurant known as the Tori Dragon Palace (which is two blocks away from the Pixel Palace). There, some of anime's most popular celebrities pop in to have a drink. Sometimes, they share stories, and even secrets. Because—as we all know—what the bartender hears is confidential... isn't it?"
Hakusa
Some say you can see the ghost of Christmas. Well I had an experience like this, but they weren't about Christmas. So here I was tending the bar, and in walks in someone I hadn't seen in a long time, Hakusa. She's one the Time Patrollers I knew in my days as one. I silently hope she doesn't see me. I should have been left work early because she sensed me.
"Boss!" She said as I sighed in defeat.
Dawn was serving May who was still traumatized from just two weeks at NERV, so I had to take her on my own.
"Hakusa… it's been a long time. What can I get you?" I said forcing a smile.
"Boss-sama! It's been forever! It's like you dropped off the face of the Earth, but Goku mentioned meeting you someplace." She said excitedly. "And I'll have red wine on the rocks."
I make her drink and ask Goku said where I was. Thankfully, she said he didn't. Apparently, she had been using her vacation time to travel the multiverse.
"I came across your show on dimensional cable at a rest stop for warpers. So, I brought a huge chunk of crystallized Zanthonite to send back to Conton City. You're famous back home!" She said sipping her drink.
Crap. Now she knows I'm here. Hakusa asked about my lady to I respond that she's fine. Hakusa tells me that Toki Toki's gone and so forth. I already knew this, but I wonder if my old apartment was destroyed.
"Boss. Are you considering returning to active duty again?" Hakusa asked me innocently. "I know many old patrollers who miss you, and new patrollers who want to meet the legendary Ace patroller. She misses you too."
"I'm not sure, Hakusa. I'm still sorting some things out." I said to her.
Hakusa is one of the few people who damn well know why I went off duty for the long while. Either way, I was still debating it.
"It's ok. Just know we miss you." Hakusa said downing her drink and paying for it. "And merry Christmas, Ryo."
"Same to you, Haku-chan." I said as she leaves the bar.
Dawn looks over to me and asked me why I looked so spooked.
"A ghost from my past." I said blankly. "And I have a rotten feeling there is more to come."
"And you are right on the money." A familiar voice said from the entrance of the bar.
…Well unlike Haku-chan, I'm actually a little happy to see her…
-To Be Continued-
(A/N: Yes, this is a two-shot. I won't be taking anymore requests at the moment due to this being around the Season 2 finale and I have plans already.)
