Chrisma

By: Domino

I watch my friends fall in defeat. Their violet-tinged clothing's stained

in the crimson of their blood. Those descendants of the guardians made quick work

of us. Why did this have to happen? Why us?! What did we do wrong?!

When I decided to leave Japan, I wanted to simply see the world, and during

those travels is where I met her.... My Shermie. I still remember when I took

her out to dinner and told her I wanted her to come with me. She smiled as her

pretty blue eyes sparkled from underneath her thick, red bangs. Something

inside me sparked. It's almost as though I knew she and I would be together to

the end.

Then we met Chris. My little niichan who was so young and vunerable, yet

smart enough to be on his own. Shermie and I found him and I felt that spark

again. Maybe we were meant to find each other. I didn't think that my

special bond with them would lead to something like this.

We all began to feel our blood boil shortly after Kyo defeated the

soldier Leona. Soon it was like molten lava as our powers awakened, seeing these

strange flashes of a man telling us this was our destiny.

I asked why we were chosen? We were just a rock band wanting to have some fun

and "avenge" our band. Nothing more than that! He called us Orochi and faded,

leaving us to writhe in pain.

Chris soon began to wield flames, and my beloved Shermie crackled with

the power of lightning and thunder. I felt the warmth of the earth in my

veins, making me several times stronger than before. We all felt a hatred for

these guardians. We wanted to kill them! I had never wanted to kill anything

in my entire life! I saw Chris fall to this.. Kyo, and then Shermie. I too

had fallen, but then Chris...

He siphoned our energy and changed into the being known as Orochi. That's

what brought me, Shermie, and Chris together. I wanted to believe it was our

friendship that bonded us, but I didn't want the true reason to be so sinister!

I loved them both like my family. I don't want to lose them like this! Orochi

was defeated, and he returned to his sleep.

But now we lay here, and my niichan has passed on into his eternal rest.

Shermie looks at me and smiles a bit, telling me it was fun and that she loved

me. Then I crawled to her and held her before I sliced her neck with my favorite

pocket knife. I sobbed as I did so, but it's better for her to leave this

world that to live with such a horrid curse. I turn it on myself, saying my

final goodbyes and cursing the Orochi blood running through me.

Farewell, my friends, my family. It was fun while it lasted...

THE END.
