The Crystal Sword Vol.1

Chapter 1:

Chaco wakes up one morning feeling pretty down. His girlfriend just dumped him and he doesn't know why….But it's got him quite upset. How come all these horrible bad things happen to him? First, Sid keeps chasing him around telling him horrifying stories and now this.

Chaco stepped out of his room to see Sasuke running by in a hurry! Where on earth is he off to in such a rush?

"Hey Sasuke! Slow the hell down" Chaco yells rudely.

Sasuke doesn't slow down. He just glares at Chaco and continues on his run.

"What's his problem?" Thought Chaco. Out of curiosity Chaco decided to follow him…

Sasuke arrived at the Garden behind the castle. There Kasumi was! He stared at her, unsure what to do now. He had decided today would be the day he would tell Kasumi how he felt!! There is no more backing out now! He just didn't really think about how he would do it. He held flowers in his hands. Mondo told him that girls like Flowers or something like that.

"Okay Sasuke" He said to himself "You've gotta be brave!"

"What cha doing?" Chacos voice said from behind him!! Sasuke turned around startled.

"Chaco!! What do you want?"

"Nice flowers Sasuke. Gotta girl you like or something!?"

"N-None of your business winger!! Go play with your friends or something. I'm busy!"

"Hey if your trying to impress Kasumi I wouldn't. She's much to old for you!"

"What do you know? Kasumi is very pretty….I mean she's….oh where was I!!"

Chaco laughed and started dancing around him. "You love Kasumi!! Hahahaha!"

"GO AWAY!!" Sasuke shouted.

Kasumi hearing the commotion started to come over.

"Hey Sasuke what's up?"

"Ka-Kasumi…I…UH…..Well I am just…"

"Hey it's good to see you're hanging out with Chaco. You should make lot's of friends around here, I noticed you don't really hang out with a lot of people at the village!"

"Chaco is NOT my friend!! Thanks a lot Chaco you ruined everything!!" Sasuke teleported away.

"What's his problem?" asked Chaco.

Kasumi sighed "He isn't very good at meeting people and making friends. Hey Chaco maybe you can help him!"

Chaco laughed "Help him? He's a loser. The guy can't even tell you he….I mean…"

Kasumi bowed her head. "What is it?"

Chaco not wanting to interfere changed the subject. "Uh…Well I will see if I can make him popular around here!!"

Chaco ran off in a random direction. He managed to make it to the stage room. He wasn't watching where he was going and ran right into Clive.

"Hey you brat! Watch it!!" Clive said.

"You watch it!! I'm Chaco and I'm very strong! I won't lose to a guy like you!"

"What are you talking about kid?"

Chaco saw Sasuke down the hall.

"Sasuke!! Hey I gotta go now but this isn't over!!" Chaco ran off leaving Clive very confused.

Sasuke saw Chaco half running half flying at him!!

"You again! What do you want Chaco!?"

"Kasumi asked me to make you into a popular, nice guy who is friends with everyone!"

"I don't want to be friends with everyone. Especially not you!"

"Ouch that hurt." Chaco said sarcastically. "But for one minute let's say I did leave you here. Kasumi likes a guy with friends!!"

"She does?"

"Yes of course! Kasumi….loves a guy who is nice and friendly!"

"Okay Chaco you win. I'll let you teach me your ways."

"Yay! We start with dress attire!!"

"What's wrong with the way I dress?"

"Dude there is no skin! NO toughness. Just clothes everywhere. I can barely see your face. It's like your hiding from everything!"

"What does my clothes have to do with me making friends?"

"Oh man. This is going to be a long day……"

Suddenly a voice from behind them starts to talk "So your trying to impress Kasumi huh?"

Sasuke and Chaco see an old woman standing there holding a cat. She looks very sinister. "You know I may be able to help you!"

"How?" Sasuke asked.

"The Crystal Sword. A Sword with the power to grant any wish once. Sasuke if you find that sword you can ask it to make Kasumi fall in love with you. Or even better give you the ability to see what Kasumi really thinks of you!"

Sasuke looked at Chaco, as if trying to ask him what to say! Chaco smiled at the lady.

"Hey if Sasuke finds the sword can I have a wish to!?"

"Of course. One wish for each person….."

"I'm in. Sasuke I'll help you find the sword! There is no way I can make you popular anyway!"

"Hey what's that suppose to mean!!!"

The lady smiled. "You'll find clues to the swords whereabouts in the library."

"Thanks!" Chaco said. He grabbed Sasukes arm and dragged him off towards the library. The lady started to laugh silently.

"Fools…..Soon that sword will be mine…Then I will have the power to get he Soul Eater at last!!"

She looked at her hand holding the Front Gate Rune. The identity of the woman is non other then Windy. "Soon I will finally have the power of the Soul Eater. And then I can get my revenge on Harmonia. Every single one of them will pay!"
