Welcome to Garbage Collection (TM)!

Randomness topped with old cliches, complete with shapeshifters and a side of possession. I'm literally relying on the lack of Shugo Chara fanfics for people to click on this. I would tag this as humor, but Rima would be ashamed of my decision.


Nagihiko Fujisaki stared out the window, bored. He watched as cats climbed trees, the daytime stars glittered, and gilled raccoons disappeared into the waves.

It was a normal afternoon on Seiyo Island, with nothing special happening, unless he counted the bunnies flying north for the winter. But that happened every year.

He sighed and lay back on his bed, turning to stare at the walls. It was mostly blank, but there were a few basketball pictures and a painting of a pegasus. Legend had it that pegasi brought good luck - and if you were lucky enough, a pegasus might bond with you, entwining your spirits...or something like that. It was a pretty picture, but pegasi were rarely around humans.

Suddenly, a cat dropped on to his windowsill. "Yo," said the cat, "have you seen Amu?"

Nagihiko shook his head, apologetic. "Not today, Ikuto."

The cat brushed himself off. "She was going to meet me at the coconut tree," he complained, but launched off the nearest windowsill to keep looking.

Honestly, Nagihiko kind of wanted to follow him (not out the window like that, of course) just to have something to do.

Just then, a sea otter hopped into his room through the window. In a blur of sparkles, it transformed into a human boy with brown hair and green eyes. "Hey! How's it going?" Kukai greeted him. "You up for a game of volleyball?"

Yes, all of Nagihiko's friends were shapeshifters. Pretty much everyone on Seiyo was. Nagihiko himself was just a human, but his friends did their best to include him in everything and choose activities they could all do. Like volleyball.

"Sure, right now?" he replied.

"Yeah, a lot of the boys from my raft are already down at the court."

"Alright, I'll be down in a minute."

A little later, the two friends were heading down the path toward the area where they often played sports. The wind was stronger than it had felt from inside the house.

A shout rang out from the court. "Get it!" someone was yelling. A bunch of people were running toward the woods after a white object.

"Huh, looks like the ball got away," Kukai commented as they approached the court. "Guess it wasn't the best day for volleyball." He took off running and Nagihiko followed.


"I thought it went this way..." Nagihiko pushed his way through the dense foliage. Most of the boys had headed back since it was too windy to play, but Nagihiko and Kukai had split up to find the ball. "It shouldn't have gone too far...what?"

He had stepped into an open area. Tall trees surrounded pristine grass, and a canopy of leaves covered most of the sky. He could hear the faint sound of music, like a flute, floating through the air. What was this place? It seemed so...magical.

As he looked around, he noticed a surprising shining spot in between two of the trees. That certainly wasn't normal.

"Kukai!" he called for his friend. "Check this out!"

Just then, the shining spot opened to reveal another similar clearing. And out of the spot came-

"A pegasus?!"

There was no time to get out of the way as the pegasus was charging straight towards him. There was a violent jolt and he felt like he'd been kicked out of his body.

Everything went black for a moment, then he could see the clearing again, but as if he were in a dream.

Aaaaaaghhh! he tried to scream.

"Aaaaaaghhh!" screamed his own voice, but higher.


If you're still questioning why I made this, it's partly so my profile won't open to the "favorite stories" tab. I don't want someone to accidentally assume I wrote those.
