D-gray man tweaks
By: Shikyo Kuranosai
I stepped out into the blinding ray of purple light that streamed to where the Akuma once was.
"Help me!" I shouted at nothing but thin air. "The Akuma won't die!"
My plea seemed helpless against the raging wind.
No one was close enough to rescue me, but I still felt the urge to give one final cry.
I passed over into the darkness of the black rings encircling me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt nothing but the hand on my shoulder.
"Are you okay? Girl? Girl?" asked a wierd girl with unusually dark clothes and a line of crosses dancing across her forehead. "Hey! You're awake! That's great! Hey, everyone! She's awake!"
"Who are you?" my mouth fumbled over the words, treating it like it was the very first time I had said them.
"I'm Road from the Noah clan, and who might you be?" the girl asked, taking a pink umbrella with a pumpkin on the top from a clown-like guy I knew as the Devil, or Millenium Earl.
My mouth spoke but one word, and even that, was filled with fear.
"Inno."
"Well welcome to the Noah clan, Inno! You'll be are personal servant for a while!" a guy said, coming from the back of the group dressed handsomly in a nice black petticoat and top hat.
"I remember you! Tyki-kun! Or was it something else?" I pondered, biting the bottom of my lip while I crossed my legs and thought.
Originally I wore jeans and a red spagetti strap that went well with my red highlights and black, waist-length hair, but instead, I was wearing a short white jacket that didn't even make it to the top of my stomach, a black, long sleeved shirt with a white cross on it, and a jenim miniskirt with black leg-warmers underneath it. My orange eyes caught attention wherever I went and also singled out Akuma themselves by turning dragon like, without growing, and right now, even though I was surrounded by Akuma, my eyes weren't activating and I felt strangely safe.
"Yes, I remember you well, too. A pain-in-the-butt you were to me, and lucky as you are, I won't turn you into an Akuma," Millenium Earl spoke in his light yet dreary tone.\
"I tangled with you all the time, destroyed over half of your Akuma, and yet your not punishing me?" I asked in outrageous disbelief. The only reason I really ever slayed the Akuma was because I liked the paranormal and getting in trouble, or the pleasure in getting away with it, but this brought me no sense of achievement.
"Of course Millenie won't punish you! You're my new plaything, Inno!" Road told me, returning the umbrella to the Millenium Earl.
"Does thihs mean you won't keep stealing my Lero?" the Millenium Earl asked her gently yet with an angry tone hidden deap within his voice.
"I promise to stop taking Lero now that you got me a plaything, Millenie!" Road exclaimed wearing a smile.
I hated that smile, and I definetely didn't want to be Road's plaything. Who knew what horrors she could think up, or maybe even force me to do if I wanted to live.
As I thought it through, I guess I sort of have been caught red handed, and now it was time to pay for the broken pieces. After all, being Road's plaything couldn't be that bad, could it?
--------------------------------------------
"It was nice playing with you again, exorcist," Road smiled playfully with the dead exorcists body.
"Did he have the heart, Rouge?" the Millenium Earl asked Road.
Road gave him that same playful smile.
"Of course not," she assured him, her smile now wiped off. "Inno! Who's next to toy with?"
These past few years Road had strained her voice calling my name, and I was tired of the child-like ring she gave it.
"I thought it was my turn to play with Onee-chan?" I asked, forcing a smile to my lips, pretending I had lost my memory of my past, which in truth, I had.
"Onee-chan? Since when have you called me your onee-chan?" Road asked, confused by my suden want to play with her rather then my stubborness at not wanting any playtime.
I had to get into character quick.
"I wanted to play with Onee-chan myself! Onne-chan promised all those years ago that we'd play together without any exorcists and Akuma!" I squealed angrily and childishly.
Hopefully, my plan would go the way I wanted it and I'd be a free exorcist again, singing the Akuma their lullibies.
"Sorry, shoumai. We have a few more innocence pieces to collect. Then we can play together without any exorcist and Akuma," Road promised me.
"Okay!" I pouted. "Then I'll just go play by myself until you wanna play!"
I stomped off, and they didn't make a move to follow me.
