Shiroi yami kirisaku tsubasa ni nare…

Me, my sister and best friend all sang along to the intro of DNAngel, having watched so many times as to know it off by heart. As the opening credits played, we restarted a conversation which we had had several times before.

"Wouldn't it be great if anime characters were real?" Ruth said enthusiastically. She is my sister. She's 15, blonde, shout-y and annoying in general, but she can be pretty cool. Sometimes.

Jo nodded, equally enthusiastic. She's my best mate, one of Ruth's too. She's 15 too, with brown hair and anger management issues. We were at her house for an epic anime weekend.

I'm Megan, by the way, though I prefer Megzz. I'm 16, have red hair which everyone calls ginger (IT'S NOT!) and eyes which, funnily enough, actually are ginger. Weird, hmm? (I'm also very clever and a nerd in many ways, not least anime/manga!)

"Jo, you are aware that it's 2:30 in the morning, yeah? Sleeping would be an idea." I pointed out. Reluctantly, she agreed (I love logic) and switched off her computer. As she turned her lamp off, I sighed, thinking about what a bloody awful week I'd been having and how Ruth was right. It would be great if anime characters were real.


"Ugh… I hate waking up." I grumbled, rolling over and stretching before opening my eyes. When I did, I was somewhat confused, to say the least. You see, Jo's room – where we had been sleeping – had bright purple walls, but the room we were in now had white. Also, I was now sleeping on a bed, where before I was in a sleeping bag on the floor. Looking around, I saw that the room was devoid of furniture except the beds on which I was sitting and the others still lay.

"Hey! Jo, Ruth, wake up!" I said loud enough to stir them from their sleep.

"PANCAKES!" Ruth shouted as she jolted awake. Jo was more normal, just sitting up and rubbing her eyes. Ruth, having been blinded as she woke up, blinked confusedly in the light.

"Megan… You're seeing this too, right..?" Ruth asked slowly. Jo's jaw dropped as she took in our surroundings, shouting "Oh God, it's finally happened, we've finally been carted off to the loony bin!" before looking down at her clothes. "Hey, what are we wearing?" I looked down at myself to see that I was wearing an emerald green sleeveless tunic and black trousers. A pair of black high-heel knee boots sat at the side of my bed. Ruth and Jo were wearing the same outfit as me, except Ruth's tunic was bright red, Jo's a velvety black.

"Hey, Megzz, what should we do?" Jo asked, sounding worried. I swung my legs over the side of my bed, grabbed the boots and pulled them on (weirdly, they fit perfectly) before replying. "I think that we should find out what the hell we're doing here." I stood and walked towards the door in the far wall. Two sets of clicking heels behind me said that Ruth and Jo had joined me.

I was about to touch the door handle when it was flung open by a tiny blonde woman, making both her and the three of us jump. She recovered faster than we did and laughed.

"Good, you're already awake. Please follow me." She turned and started to leave. We followed automatically.

She showed us to a room with three doors and directed us to each go into a separate room and wait. I did so nervously and, having entered my room which was again completely white, sat down in a horribly uncomfortable plastic chair. As I sat down, a man's voice blared down from speakers in the ceiling, scaring half to death.

"State your name."

"Bloody hell, you scared the shit out of me! My name's Megan, why?" I looked around, trying to find the speakers.

"State your age." Feeling suspicious, I answered.

"16… why? What's with the questions?"

"Date of birth." The questions continued for about forty minutes, until I had, in effect, told this guy my full autobiography. When he finally ran out of questions, he decided to give me some instructions.

"Please make your way to the exit on the other side of the room in whatever way you see fit." While he spoke, the back wall slid open to reveal a huge bloody hole with a few tiny platforms every 5m or so to use as stepping stones to get across. In my disbelief, I raised my eyebrows so high; they probably disappeared into my hair. I couldn't see a bottom to the thing, just darkness.

"This is a joke, yeah? I can't get across that!" Mr Helpful just repeated his instructions. "Oh bloody hell." I ran back to the door through which I had entered, only to find it locked. No amount of shouting or kicking would open it.

Looking back at the pit – my only means of exit – I took a deep breath, thinking to myself 'Oh, life. You were great while you lasted,' before taking a running jump to leap onto the first platform.


"What do you think of this one, sir?

"Megan, is it? She's strong, she's clever and she's a quick learner. I like her. She's… promising. A possible wing spirit."

"Yes, sir. What of the other two?"

"The one who called herself 'Jo' is more your area of expertise, Mustang, as an alchemist yourself. She has potential?"

"She does, sir. A lot of potential. And Ruth?"

"Yes… she has the look of an Accommodator, plus she chose that Innocence for her weapon. We shall have to see if she has synchronized with it. It's not helpful however that she answered every question she was asked after that of her name and age with the word 'crumpet'."

"Indeed, General Cross, sir."


'I'm not dead.' I thought. I was lying on my back on the other side of the hole, breathing heavily, still staggered as to how I'd gotten across. Somehow, my feet hadn't missed a single stepping stone and I hadn't overbalanced. I hadn't even stopped, just kept leaping between the platforms. That I, the clumsiest person in Britain, had done that was almost beyond belief. However, I wasn't dead, so that was proof enough for me.

Shaking, I clambered to my feet and made my way to a doorway cut into the wall. The only light came from a few torches on the walls, so I couldn't see much, but through the doorway was a room which had been divided into six by walls, the tops of which I could walk across if careful, with a door guarded by a bloke with a sword (!).

Quickly moving back so that he didn't see me, I looked around the dark room for anything to use as a weapon. By the wall, a weapons rack stood holding swords, knives, guns, even a chainsaw for some reason, but I selected a wooden rod tipped at each end with metal.

Armed with my new stick, I went back to the door and ran across the top of the wall (again managing not to fall off – what was happening to me?) to stand over the bloke with the sword. I waited until he turned around before dropping to the floor, landing in a crouch. He started to turn but, acting instinctively, I swung the stick before he could do anything else, catching him in the jaw and cracking his head against the wall.

At the horrible cracking sound, I dropped my rod (I couldn't call it a stick now: I'd hit someone with it!) and checked the man's neck for a pulse, terrified that I'd killed him by accident. Upon finding one, I slumped with relief. I also slipped the key to the door from his pocket, then retrieved my rod.

I unlocked the door and pushed it open to see Ruth, Jo and two other people, a man and a woman, sitting at a table. Being my usual smart-arse self, I immediately got pissed and started speaking.

"Sorry I'm late, had to jump across a chasm …" My sarcastic comments tailed off as the man and woman turned around.

"Don't worry. Please, join us." Sitting at the table were Lenalee and Komui Lee. D GrayMan characters.

"I apologise for the way in which you were brought here." OK, so, me, Jo and Ruth were sitting, chatting with Komui Lee, a D GrayMan character and acting like this was perfectly normal. Well, we were only gawking slightly. Komui continued his slightly one-sided conversation. "You are probably wondering why you're here." We all nodded, dumbstruck. "Well, in the last year or so, anime characters such as me and Lenalee have been somehow 'brought to life'. So far we think it is because of a certain type of 'energy', which many would call magic, which latches onto the creative part of people's brains. The characters can come from anime or manga and always appear here, in this city."

"So you mean to say that anime characters are coming to life?" Jo asked. Komui shook his head.

"They were. No more have appeared for a month or so." Ruth held a hand up.

"Wait. Why are we here? We're not anime characters." Komui nodded.

"Yes, well, we think that, for some reason, the 'energy' has latched onto you more powerfully and will cause you to develop certain abilities, much like some anime characters, like the balance and agility displayed by you, Megan, the marksmanship and alchemical talent shown by you, Jo and the fighting prowess shown by you, Ruth." Komui stood up and turned to Lenalee. "Could you show then to their room?" She nodded and gestured for us to follow her.

As we left, I asked about something that had been nagging at my mind for a while.

"Umm… Lenalee, do our parents know where we are?" She nodded and smiled.

"Of course. You can contact them too."

After this, Ruth told me how she had fought about four people for her test, then Jo said how she had shot several targets then used alchemy to get through the door for hers.

About ten minutes later, Lenalee stopped in front of a room marked '64' opposite a window facing onto a huge park. The corridor was deserted, but the sky outside was dark, so maybe everyone was asleep. Lenalee smiled, handed me a key and told us to expect visitors in the morning. With that, she left, waving.

I unlocked the door, nervous of what to expect, and flipped the light switch to illuminate a huge apartment. Ruth and Jo immediately took off to investigate while I stood in the doorway. Closing the door, I heard them shouting.

"There's a flat-screen TV!"

"This place is huge!"

"We've got an X-Box! And a SmartBoard!"

"Bloody hell! Filled walk-in wardrobes!"

After they got this out of their system, we finally went to sleep. Well, I say sleep but I mostly just lay in bed, still amazed that we were in a city full of anime characters.
