Droplets of crimson blood fell from the devilish moon's foul grinning lips, painting the calming midnight blue sky bloody red. The slender figure clothed in a matching ragged crimson red dress that once stood under the eternal darkness, slowly ventures the palatial yet deserted, dismal room towards the dusty gothic window, almost dragging her lifeless feet against the menacing, handicapped wooden floor.
Slightly, she drew the pitiable curtain using her bony, little fingers as she let her brooded eyes peeked the outside world using the tiny gap between her claws and the shabby cloth.
"Soon," she murmured under her breath as her fingers were crawling, gripping on a stale, an already yellow scroll "I shall be the ruler of the world, and everyone will recognize my existence, my true power."
And together with the ancient scroll clutched against her gaunt hand, she walked down the cursed site, pushed the wailing door open, making the nocturnal world listened to its heavy, creaking sound, and forever vanished as the only entrance and exit collided with the gray wall, shut.

Chapter 1
The Misleading Path
"Any suspicious sign here?"
"Nope. Not a dust."
"Nothing weird there either."
I glanced at the sky to only witness the truancy of the usual glittering stars and the skeptic looking moon. It was the longest night that we have probably ever attended with the firmament being corrupted by the unusual dusk.
My silver haired partner yawned abruptly, bestowing his razor-sharp gnashers but kept his vermillion eyes alert, scanning the deserted area from any unwanted company. It must be getting pretty late for him to be able to bluntly showing off his un-cool sleepy manner in front of the public, not that I really care though.
"Hey Maka," my Death Scythe partner called in an irritated tone, which I think I know why. "How long will we be staying here and waiting for… nothing?"
"It's not nothing, Soul," I shot him dagger stare, enraged by his irresponsible question. "We're waiting for the Kishin Egg Reoux, for your information."
"You said that for the billionth time," he rolled his vermillion eyes as if he was the one who was supposed to be exasperated, listening to the same answer over and over again.
I frowned, getting more and more vexatious with his shallow attitude. "And I might not need to say it for the billion and first time if you could just stop asking like some tiny bird-brained," I replied boorishly, hoping that he could stop asking the same thing and me answering the same question like an endless loop.
Soul stared blankly at me afterwards, inviting the awkward silent to create an invincible wall between us. Have I gone too far and hurt his feeling?
I dropped my gaze at the dusty ground as I twirled my foot to create a mini circular mark on the sandy land, feeling uneasy. I might as well count the sand. "Uh Soul," I encouraged myself to bring up a conversation, "about just now, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was just-"
Before I could even finish my line, his formerly bewildered look snapped out in an unexpected instant, which I think was the reason for him to suddenly gasping like an idiot. "Huh? Oh, sorry, what did you say? I think fell asleep just now," he grinned innocently, not taking any notice of my apology.
My face turned red in humiliation. How can a person sleep with his eyes wide opened? What is he? A fish?
"So!"He cleared his throat as his eyes were fixed on my currently-holding-a-bibble-thick-book-so-be-alert-for-any-Maka-Chop right hand, intimidated, "Where's this Rocks guy?"
"If we know where he is, we won't be standing here like some kind of weirdoes right now, waiting for him to appear," I sighed, counting the worthless days that had thrown away, searching like hungry cats seeking for the rat, but the result was as much as nil. "And his name is Reoux, not Rocks- DON'T YOU DARE ROLL YOUR EYES AGAIN!"
I have to admit, finding our current target was as hard as finding a needle in a stack – okay, more like finding a flea in a stack. We had been informed about his capabulity for being able to camouflage himself with anything – and when I mean anything, it really means every single thing…
One time when we were paying a visit to a bar in the town, we heard that he was actually sitting right beside us, dressed as a businessman drinking his cold whisky peacefully, not feeling any threat eventhough he realized that we were there to extinguish him. On the other time was when we were chasing him down, we lost tracked on him and found a weary-looking woman instead, genuflecting on the middle of the road praying for a baby. We should've realized things sooner, but our brain weren't insane enough back then to find out that our prey was actually kneeling right in front of our eyes, as a woman. A woman.
Well, that case wasn't as bad as when we once missed him because he was disguising himself as a cactus. A damn cactus in the center of the town.
I don't even know whether I should be embarrassed or relieved when Kid, Black Star, Tsubaki, and the Thompsons were sent to lend us a hand. I can see why now this petite looking mission was given to us as the Spartoi's side task.
"Man, I'd rather do some training to competent myself to face any future plight with that fake Eibon guy… was it?"
"I guess his name was Noah, though," I scratched my head to recall, making my brunette hair a little bit bumpy as the natural threads were forced to move upwards through the motion of my fingers. "Anyway, let's just hope that one of them will give us a call about Reoux."
"I wonder why an antagonist's name would sound so tasty," Soul licked his lips as his stomach rumbled. A minute ago he was sleepy, and now he's hungry. I just don't understand guys.
"Haha very funny. If you're referring his name to a roux now I'll have to say your joke was lame," I gave him a sarcastic glance which he replied with a quick shrug. "So the rocks joke was funnier than the roux one?" he threw me a quizzical look by lifting up his eyebrows as I giggled. Soul sure knows how to make me laugh sometimes, but he annoys me more on the other though.
"Hey Maka, check that out!" Soul suddenly pointed his index finger sprightly to a place a distance away from ours, quite ecstatic for someone who's not a late-nighters. I stretched my neck to take a better look at the what-seem-to-be an attractive topographic point, but to only found a limitless darkness that was penetrating a menacing atmosphere right from its hollow, ready to consume anything nearby.
Not even giving me a chance to speak, or at least ask, he dashed towards the designated place like a little boy who found a Mickey shaped rotten lollipop stuck with a gum on the other side of the horizon, leaving me alone in the desolated park. Seriously, where is his gentleman manner?
"Ugh wait for me Soul!" I chased after him, somehow eager to know what took his interest badly.
But then again, I should have realized we were doing something mischievous sooner; leaving our guarding spot vacant, and foolishly sacrificing ourselves to the ominous obscurity…

I was inspired to do this fic after reading an article in a magazine talking about parallel world.
I remembered clearly that the author of the article said that every one of us have a parallel world, which means that we have another life in another world and sometimes our life could be totally different than the one we know.
I found the article to be interesting and decided to pour all my ideas out about parallel world in this fic (after some tweaking and all).
O god, how many months since the last time I write? More than half a year perhaps? I think I'm getting dull with all this fanfiction stuffs. Might take time for me to adapt myself with all writing again…
So for the moment, reviews, critiques and comments are truly welcome!! Especially for the grammar _
