Chapter 01: The Day We Lost
"Jeff," I whined, " where is Myla and Sean-nii? They should have been here by now."
"Leah, you know patience is a virtue right?" Jeff replied sarcastically, while looking out at the food court below us. Jeff is an annoying blonde I dated in middle school all because we bonded over Pokémon and our love for cosplay. His blue eyes were the same as the Arizona's baby blue sky outside, and he was an inch shorter than me.
"Oh shut it, jerk face. I have no need for you to patronize me. What I do need, is for Myla and Sean to show so I can go to the candy store and bookstore and not have to talk to you"
I bit back at him. Of course I didn't mean the last part I just wanted to make him mad. Boy was that working.
I started to let my gaze wander to a strange looking man with grey hair and circular glasses. Thought that wasn't the strange part. No the strange part was that he was a young man about twenty not that old. He was standing in line for McDonald's about twenty feet away from where me and Jeff were waiting. The mystery man was fourth in line and did not seem to be in a hurry for he had a serene look on his face.
As I stood there deep in thought over the man I didn't notice that Jeff had snuck behind me and that Myla and Sean had arrived.
Myla has been my best friend since two years ago when we met at lunch. I couldn't stand to see her alone and thought hey why don't I drag this girl to where I'm eating then we could talk. So I did just that grabbing her dark wrist and pulling her over while she slapped me repeatedly on the head for doing so. Afterwards when she stopped slapping she told me that she was too shy and nervous to talk to people. Meaning she really was lonely at lunch. You see, Myla may be shy but that doesn't mean she's quiet. No she is the opposite, once you get to know her, and can be very mischievous.
Sean however is the silent but deadly nerdy type who became my friend when I stabbed him in the hand freshman year. So yeah he was a awesome addition to my group of friends hehe.
The reason we were at the mall to begin with was because we were having our 3 month get together. Around this time 3 months ago we all graduated high school so we had nothing to do afterwards and wanted to stay in touch.
When Jeff was about to tickle me I heard Myla call out in a very me manner-i.e. screams as loud as possible to get others attention and wave wildly- catching my attention and causing me to jump up and wave back at her from where I was leaning on the railing. This I turn caused me to smack Jeff in the face and have me profusely apologize, Myla to break out laughing, and Sean to smirk and ask Jeff when was he going to learn not to sneak up on me.
As my friends continued to laugh at Jeff's pain we slowly made our way down to the food court below to talk and catch up before shopping.
"So Myla where are you right now?" I asked sitting next to Sean and Myla while Jeff was on the opposite side of me.
"I'm at the Le Cordon Bleu for Culinary remember?" she joked "What about you guys?"
"I'm at the Art Institute with Sean, though we are in different departments. I'm in photojournalism and Sean-nii is in computer programing or something." I answered.
"Well I'm an Intern for a small company downtown" Jeff said in a bored tone. "So Leah how is your family?"
"Oh ah there good"
As we continued to talk I had forgotten all about the grey haired man. And let me tell you that was my first mistake, my second was not noticing the way the man watched me and my friends after he sat down a few tables away from us. And the third comes later.
As we walked down the hall of the mall to the candy store $weet $ticks. I fail to notice the grey haired man creeping behind me and my friends or his hand glowing a bluish green. Once we arrived me and Myla each got candy Cigarettes and Cigars, along with chocolate covered ants and caramelized crickets to prank people with. We also got suckers and giant lollipops the best stuff next to chocolate and paid. While Jeff bought some dum dums and Sean got a pack of m&m's.
When we left we headed straight to the bookstore where we separated. Me and Jeff heading to the Comics while Myla went to the lite novels and Sean to the horror section. Jeff had grabbed Blood C and the newest Gintama and I grabbed some Marvel Comics, Naruto, and One Piece. While Myla didn't buy a book Sean bought a Stevens kings book.
"As we went to the lone register to pay I saw the grey haired man and paid him no mind. That is until I saw him head over to me and my friends. Once he got to where we stood I notice a glimmer from where his hand was. Looking closely I saw he had a scalpel and it was glowing a yellowish green color.
"Why hello there my name is Kabuto and you four are coming with me to speak with my master Lord Orochimaru" The grey haired man spoke with faux happiness and a creepy smile"Hahaha! Cool man you totally look like Kabuto! where did you get you hair dyed or is this a wig" Jeff said ignoring the glowing light on his scalpel.
"Jeff shut up" Sean spoke looking pissed at Jeff because Jeff stood front of him keeping the rest of us in line longer.
"Oh I assure you I am real and you four brats are coming with me now" Kabuto's voice was cold and filled with malice. After Kabuto spoke the was a white light and we all blacked out.
