Elfen Lied doesnt belong to me. But Umiko does belong to me.
I held the small puppy in my arms as I walked to the bright yellow room.
I was meeting other people there, so I made sure I had my short blonde hair styled straight with bows on the side of my head.
I walked into the room with the puppy. All eyes were on me. I felt slightly sick to have so many eyes staring at me.
They might've found out I had two small and fragile horns on my head, where the bows were.
"Oi! You're Umiko, right?" a boy asked.
I slowly nodded and the boy stared harder.
I put the dog down rather quickly.
"You're different. No other girls put bows in their hair." another boy commented.
"She's hiding something, so show it." the first boy said calmly, but agressively.
I pulled the bows from around my horns and they were fully exposed now.
"Freak! Freak of nature!" the second boy yelled, surprised.
Other children in the room held me back, for I was going to beat his ass straight to the moon.
The first boy, Korosu, took the small, sickly puppy and pulled a baseball bat from the closet.
"Ton'ma!" I screamed.
"Yabanjin! Get over here and help me kill this dog!" Korosu agressively said.
Yabanjin walked over, very slowly to Korosu.
"Get your ass in gear and help me!" Korosu yelled.
Yabanjin got another bat from the closet, a metal one.
"Yeah, yeah..." Yabanjin said as he walked over to the dog.
I heard crunching and cracking sounds.
I closed my eyes, tears were about to fall.
"Beat the shit out that dog!" Kyouzame yelled as he tightened his grip on my arms, cutting the circulation from them.
More and more disturbing noises came to my ears..
Crunch...
...Crackle...
...Whimpering...
...Loud yelps of pain...
Then it stopped.
My face was soaked with tears.
I opened my eyes and saw blood pouring from where the puppy was.
I was shocked and mad at what I saw.
"How do you feel now, Umiko?" Korosu asked, in a sickening voice.
"SHISEIJI!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I closed my eyes.
The whole room was filled with laughter.
Then, it stopped.
I opened my eyes and there was blood everywhere...
On the walls..
On the flowers,
On the carpet...
I looked at everyone in the room.
The were dead...
Every single one of them...
I picked up the murdered dog and left the room.
I buried the poor creature under a tree and had a large rock as the gravestone.
I hummed a sad melody as I kneeled at the grave.
"I'm sorry, Aishou... If only I were a normal human, this wouldn't have happened to me... or you." I said as I looked at my uniform. a white t-shirt and a red skirt.
I missed him already.
He was my best friend and...
The only creature that understood me.
I would miss him gravely...
I placed my hand on my horns, ready to snap them off.
I counted down from three.
Three...
Two...
One...
I torn them off with great force.
I was placed in instant pain...
I dropped to my knees and I eventually fell...
Blood dripped down onto the ground...
As I died.
This fic is to honor my almost 9 year old dog that died on August 8th.
