[I aint a master at writing, so bear with me loool, also wrote this before Misao was fully introduced.]
A bright afternoon, the sun was covered with small clouds while gust of winds continued to blow over the city. I walked down the street with my dark blue plaid shirt with black not so skinny jeans. I headed over to the bakery to get a freshly made loaf of bread for my mother. She couldn't have come out to get it herself because she's very ill at the moment. I entered the bakery, the fresh smell of bread surrounding the store. I instantly fell in love. I walked over to the cashier, asking the female for my order of bread.
She smiled while saying "Misao-kun, you always come here for bread, get something else for a change".
I chuckled before responding "It's never for me anyway, and plus i'm not very hungry"
She stared at me with concern. "Don't starve yourself okay? You already look so skinny!" She said with a gentle friendly voice.
I laughed joyfully. "I would never starve myself, I love food too much!"
She smiled in relief. "I'll be right back with your Bread"
I nodded as she headed over to the kitchen. I feel guilty for lying. I do sometimes starve myself. My mother always told me to put myself first instead of others. Instead I care about others more than I care for myself. I looked down at my short black combat boots with soon to be untied black laces. I stayed silent, all I could hear was the rustling sound from the bread going inside the paper brown bag. She returned with a died down smile. I quickly looked up pretending everything was fine. The scent of bread became stronger, unexpectedly tiny growling noises came from my stomach. I placed my hand onto my stomach wishing the tiny sounds of hunger would disappear. She placed the bag of bread onto the marble stone countertop.
"That will be 10-"
"10? 10 what?"
She looked down at my stomach, a sadden expression appearing for a quick second.
"Nothing! It's on the house!" She said with a nervous smile.
"Really? Um.. Thank you!" I proudly said while I grabbed the bag of bread from the countertop.
"Misao-kun, Make sure you eat that with your mother"
"I will~" I lied, but it was quite believable.
I left the best bread smelling bakery I've ever entered. The door closed so quickly, a loud slam echoed throughout the area and the store. I jumped almost dropping the bag of bread. It scared the living soul out of me! I laughed at my clumsiness and decided to start heading home.
The weather suddenly began to change. The air became humid and the sound of cars disappeared. I stopped walking down the narrow street, now turning my head side to side. Nobody was there. It was just me and the loaf of bread. I gripped the bag tighter before walking down the road rapidly. I was only a few minutes away from home. The air became much colder, my skin starting to goose bump. From the distance I heard my name. I stopped walking, turning myself around. All I could see was my friend Yoshima riding her violet colored bike towards me.
"Misao-kun!" Her voice echoed in the distance.
She peddled faster right directly at my direction. Was she going to hit me? I step a couple spaces to the side making her zoom past me.
"Ahh Misao-kun! I can't stop!" She yelled while she kept going further away from me.
"Ahaha Stop Lying! See ya later!" I yelled back at her while heading inside my neighborhood.
I walked straight down the road, staying real close to neighbor's lawn. Looking over at my house, an uneasy feeling came across my body. I stared at my house for a couple seconds before walking to the front porch. I went inside my pocket, grabbing my house keys. Staring down at my cute but manly wolf keychain.
"Why do i still have this?" I asked myself out loud.
I finally unlocked the door, the house was awfully dark with silence. I closed the door on my way in, taking off my shoes before heading to the kitchen. I placed down the bag of bread onto the rectangular black stone table.
"Mom? I brought the bread for you!" I yelled.
No response came from her. Was she sleeping? I quickly ran towards the set of stairs.
"Mom?!" I yelled once again but no response came from her.
I hurriedly ran up the stairs. I began to pant as soon as i reached the top. I glanced towards my mother's door, surprisingly it would be open. I walked slowly while continuously panting from the stairs. I peeked inside her room, she was not there. A note laid on top of her pillow. I went towards her bed, picking up the note now reading out loud what it said.
"I went to the hospital for a blood test, I won't be long, and I'll be back before midnight"
It takes that long to get a blood test? I sighed with relief. I looked around her room, unexpectedly titter then it would usually be. The comforter was folded, the ends of the curtains were tied in knots. Her window was open, I could hear the laughter of children from outside. My stomach began to growl once again, it being louder than before. Placing my hand onto my stomach, i left her room with a groan. Outside of the room, the house became awfully quiet again. I eventually walked down the stairs. Walking towards the kitchen, the phone would ring. It startled me that I laughed at myself again. I picked up the phone, looking at the number. It was Yoshima. I answered.
"Hello?"
"MISAO-KUN COME OUTSIDE!" She yelled. I placed the phone a couple of centimeters away from my ear almost becoming deaf.
"Why are you speaking so loud?" I responded with an annoyed tone.
"Oh oh, sorry" She laughed.
I hanged up the phone, placing it onto the table. I went to my front door, placing my shoes back on. I opened the door, spotting Yoshima in front of my driveway. I closed the door, locking it on my way out.
"Misao Why are you so slow..." She said while pouting.
I rolled my eyes as i walked towards her.
"What do you want?"
"Let's go to the arcade!"
"Why?"
"Cause I'm hella bored! And! I don't get to see you a lot lately... your always with your mother.."
I looked closely at Yoshima. She seemed upset that I didn't hang out with her a lot.
"Okay let's go then"
"Really! What about your mother?" She replied with a worried expression.
"She went to get a blood test, she said she will be back at midnight"
"Oh, Great!"
"Great?" I laughed.
"Get onto my bike"
"its fine i can walk"
She would grab onto my shoulder, pulling me closer to her bike.
"Get on" She glared at me scarier than i could imagine.
I hopped onto her bike, uncomfortably sat onto the little basket from her bike. I hid my face in embarrassment while she would laugh.
"Misao, you pedal" She said while she continued to laugh.
I hopped off the basket, the same time she hopped off the seat. We switched places, now i would be on the seat, and she would be in the basket.
"Let's go!" She cheerfully said while pointing towards the sky.
I started to peddle out from my driveway, now onto the road. I peddled out of my neighborhood, now heading into downtown.
"Misao you peddle so slow!"
"You expect me to peddle fast with a human being on the bike with me!"
"Yes" She'd laugh.
We arrived at the center of town, no more roads, just stores around and a fountain in the middle. I hopped off the bike, making Yoshima fall onto the ground with the bike. She popped her out from the basket, surprisingly she wasn't hurt. I picked up the bike from the floor, bringing it with me towards the entrance door of the arcade.
"Misao-Kun what's that?"
"What's what" i said without looking over at Yoshima.
"That" She pointed at the sky.
I turned around looking up at where she pointed at. My eyes weren't as good as hers, i wouldn't see anything.
"I see nothing..."
She grabbed my arm pulling me closer to her. Still pointing directly at the sky. I squinted my eyes focussing my vision onto the sky. A little black dot is all i could see. The dot was getting bigger and bigger each minute.
"Do you see it?!"
"Yeah I do"
An orange dot appeared in the middle of the black dot. The orange dot got bigger faster than the black dot, and it was aiming right directly at us. I immediately grabbed onto Yoshima's arm trying to pull her back from the area but she keep resisting.
"Yoshima! We need to get out of here!"
"No, Let me take a picture first!"
"Yoshima! We need to go!"
"WAIT! Geez it takes a few seconds"
I looked back up at the sky in worry, the orange dot completely covered the black dot and became much bigger. I forcefully pulled Yoshima in the way making her drop her phone out of her hands.
"Misao! You made me drop my phone!"
She ran back to her phone, pulling me with her. Yoshima always been the one who's the strongest. She picked up her phone, rubbing off the tiny rocks on her screen.
"Geez Misao Be more Careful next time"
"Okay, Can we no-"
Before i could even finish my sentence, a laser beam hit the surface, blasting me and Yoshima towards the wall. Piles of dark grey smoke surrounded the area making it unable to see for a couple of minutes. Part of the smoke finally cleared out, but the area would become a little foggy. I looked beside me, Yoshima lying unconscious on the floor. I quickly got up on my feet, running towards her to see if she was alright. I went on my knees, bring up her head onto my lap. Blood dripped down her forehead, and her breathing grew heavy. I checked her pulse, it beating faster than I expected.
"Yoshima, Come on, don't die on me!" My eyes began to tear up.
Yoshima became unresponsive. I immediantly took of my cell phone, dialing the ambulance. They would answer, but another laser beam hit the surface making mad gust of wind hit the phone out of my hand. I placed Yoshima's head lightly on the ground. All i could hear was people's footsteps and screaming children. I looked both sides, and all I could see was a lady in black and green. The smoke was still fogging up the area, i could barely see what she looked like. I started to yell for help, hoping that someone would come with an ambulance. I heard the lady from the distance begin to speak.
"Genis-sama, It was a mistake to give Gaburio a continue"
I looked back over at the lady, now yelling towards her for help.
"HEY! CAN YOU CALL THE AMBULANCE?"
The lady looked towards me, now walking towards me. A smiled appeared on my face, feeling relieved that someone was coming to help us. The fog cleared up from the area. The female came closer to me then i expected. My face froze, seeing that she was not human. Her appearance was so unexplainable that i just stayed shocked.
"G-Get away from me!"
I hurriedly picked up Yoshima from the ground. I started running away from the female as fast as i can. I didn't look back, I kept running forward.
"I Shall Genis-sama" She said in the distance.
I immediately ran faster after hearing her voice again. Fear built up all around my body. Yoshima was so heavy! My speed was not going as I imagined. Just before I could run across the nearest road. The female showed up in front of me. I turned my head behind me awed at how fast she came. I turned my head back at her, but she was gone. I looked both sides before realizing she was right behind me. She jabbed her hand onto the back of my neck, making me fall onto the ground. Slowly my consciousness began to fade. I felt warm hands pick me up from the floor. I glanced at the floor, spotting Yoshima's body. Before I could do anything, I closed my eyes, my consciousness gone.
I open my eyes, a sudden chill going through my body. I tried moving my hands down, but my hand wouldn't move. I looked up at my hand, spotting a long thick wristband connected to a long line of metal chains going up to the ceiling. Was there a ceiling? All this purple fog was hovering the surface. Above my head was all black. My eyes couldn't focus at all. I looked down at my chest, my shirt was gone. Was this a dream? I suddenly remembered Yoshima. Was she alright? Did she get help? Multiple questions began to pop inside my head. A large figure started to walk towards me. I tried walking back, but the chains prevented me from going anywhere.
"No need to try to run away"
My eyes quivered in fear. The large figure looked 8 feet tall and had many strange things onto him. My vision wasn't very clear, it became very foggy at the moment. The large figure placed his hand onto my chin, an instant shiver came across my body. I bravely said.
"What do you want with me?!"
"You're going to be part of my game" He calmly responded. His voice was so manly and deep, it creeped me out.
"A game?" I nervously responded.
"Yes... You're my trump card to beating those Zyuohgers"
"What's a Zyuohger?"
"Protectors of this earth, preventing me on destroying it like I've done to other planets"
"What do you want me to do?"
"You will destroy the zyuohgers, and make them regret messing with me"
I looked away from his face, staring down at the foggy dark purple ground.
"Misao trust me"
"H-how do you know my name?!" My voice cracked in between speech.
He came closer to my ear now whispering.
"I know everything about you..."
My eyes widen with fear, he went away from my ear now turning around.
"Naria, give him a warm welcoming"
"Yes"
The woman from before came towards me with a black long whip.
"Don't give him to much of a welcoming, we don't need a death in here"
Naria nodded, now aiming the whip at my body. What did I even do to be in this situation? Naria swings her hand downward, the end piece of the whip slapping against my chest. I left out a scream, sharp pain attacking my body. She sends another swing, the whip hitting my chest even harder than the first time. Naria continued to do this continuously. My skin couldn't take it anymore.
"Pl-please... i beg of you.. Let me go.."
She would send a massive punch towards my face. The impact hit very hard, my jaw almost broke. All i could taste was blood. Tears stung the corners of my eyes, but i blinked them away. All i wanted was to hang out with Yoshima... But this had to happen. I hope mother is alright. She will be better off without me... Naria finally stoped. My head stayed low. I stayed unresponsive. She wrapped the whip around her arm.
"You better not betray Genis-sama"
Naria started to walk away. A tear escaped from my eyes. I winced with a bunch of tears starting to fly down my cheeks. I closed my eyes wishing this day would end. But i knew worse would come the next following days, weeks or even months. I still had no idea what Genis wanted from me. I'm a weak skinny 19-year-old boy who had nothing special. I regret even agreeing to Yoshima. Wasn't this her fault? No... It's mine. If I didn't agree to go to the arcade, none of this would happen. I deserve to die, I'd rather die than stay in this hell hold. How long will Genis keep me here... Once i get an answer, I'll be prepared what will happen next.
