I wanted (rather I was forced by my friend) to upload this.
I'll try to upload a chapter every other day.
I do not own D. Gray-Man, nor any characters except for the OCs I create. And I would appreciate it if no one took them or my ideas. Thank you. :D
"And what is a lovely, exotic woman like you wandering the streets-" Sayen shoved the vagabond out of her way, the (rather large) jeweled bracelets on her wrist making a soft clink as they collided with one another. "Well that was rude!" She rolled her deep violet eyes and pushed the door to the Inn he was previously standing in front of open, looking around inside the building and rubbing her bare tan arms to warm up. Germany in autumn is not fun. All eyes were on her as she made her way to the rather chipper young blonde girl behind the front desk.
"Hello! May I help you?" She asked, her peppy voice thinly veiled her annoyance with yet another customer. Sayen smoothed her dark brown bangs that had fallen in her face from the frigid gusts of wind outside and smiled at the girl, still rubbing her arms for warmth.
"Yes, I seem to have gotten separated from my boyfriend and was hoping if he had come by here." She lied sweetly. When the girl didn't respond and looked down at the log book that was probably in front of her, the smile on Sayen's face slowly faded, her patience wearing thin from this girl's attitude. "He's tall, Japanese, and has long black hair that's probably up in a pony-tail?" The girl shook her head, not bothering to look up. Sayen let out an exasperated sigh. "Look, Blondie, the sooner you actually listen to me instead of acting like a prissy little brat, the sooner I'll leave you alone." Blondie slowly looked up and glared at the tan foreigner in front of her.
"What?" She snapped. A few eavesdroppers jumped and Sayen's eyebrow twitched slightly.
"He's tall, Japanese-"
"Long black pony-tail. Yeah I heard all of that. What else?" Sayen was ready to ram Blondie's head into the wall. Multiple times. Until she stopped moving. And was a lifeless heap on the floor. Or she could just gut her with her dagger.
So many possibilities..
"Uhm, hello?" She snapped out of that short fantasy, taking her hand off of the studded hilt of her dagger, Kaltith, that hung on her thin hip on a leather strap. Blondie had her arms crossed and had that You're-annoying-go-away look still plastered on her face.
"Well, he's got blue-grey eyes-"
"And?" Sayen's hand twitched. She was trying so hard to be polite, even if she wasn't doing a great job.
"He acts like a total di..er jerk and refuses to talk unless he has to-"
"You just missed him." Blondie went back to her book. Sayen slowly drew a deep breath and steadily exhaled.
Like hell if she thinks I'm going back out there now.
"If you would let me finish my description, ma'am." Blondie looked back up at her, annoyed. "He's probably booked a room under the Black Order?" Sayen smiled sweetly. Recognition dawned on the blonde's face, then her eyes widened.
"You aren't with them are you? And he's not your boyfriend, is he?" The girl whispered. Sayen shook her head. "Well then why should I tell you their room num-"
"Look, girl, I don't have time for this. Either he's here or he's not." Sayen's anger was starting to show.
"Why? What's the rush?" Her sly smirk disappeared and her eyes widened in fear again. What sounded like giant gun being loaded clicked behind Sayen's head. "What the hell is-" Sayen dove for her and pushed Blondie against the floor as a giant bullet hit the wall in the almost path same spot that the girls had been quarreling, splintering the wooden wall and sending shrapnel everywhere.
"Stay down!" Sayen ordered, starting to pull Kaltith from its sheath, but the stupid kid had to stand up so she could run away instead of listening to Sayen and get herself shot before she could get pulled back down. Moments after the bullet hit her, Blondie became just another pile of ashes and clothes on the floor. Sayen, now crouched under the desk, was completely unfazed by this and unsheathed Kaltith.
She wouldn't listen. I tried. Not my fault she died.
"Come on, Kaltith. Let's destroy this abomination." She mumbled to the weapon as it started glowing a pale green in reply. Sayen had to act fast since she was cornered. Sayen's heart rate sped up and her mind started racing, but she took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She need to think rationally. Now..She could somehow jump off the desk above her, or throw the desk she was under, run up what was left of the wall in front of her, and flip onto the top of the monster since just running and jumping wouldn't get her high enough. She had to act fast or else she was going to end up like her dear, dear friend, Blondie. She went with her second option and flipped the desk over, distracting the thing. She didn't have enough time to look behind her and see if that worked, so she ran for the wall, jumping up and planting her foot on the weakened wooden boards and pushing herself off with enough force to flip her backwards. The wall wasn't as strong as she had thought it would be, but nevertheless, she still sunk her glowing weapon into the enemy. Right in its twisted mask-like face. She pulled Kaltith out of the creature and she fell to the ground, landing on her knees before it exploded.
Sayen had no time to relax, however. Within seconds, she had to leap out of the way of another bullet that was shooting straight at her. "Dammit!" She cursed. The only way out was through the front and, not knowing how many of these things were left, she ran blindly ahead, a chorus of explosions from the deadly bullets following her. She stumbled out of the smoke and ash that had filled the air in the building into the bright light. Momentarily blinded and coughing to rid her lungs of dust, she bared a left and kept running until her eyes adjusted just enough for her to stop from running a tall figure over. She skidded to a stop and tripped over her own feet, falling and cursing. The figure, a tall woman she presumed from the long hair, turned around as Sayen fell, grabbing her elbow.
"Watch it!" Then Sayen realized something. This "woman" had an abnormally deep voice...Unless "she" was a "he"...or it was just a woman who sounded like a man...Sayen started getting dizzy from the confusing thought. (Yeah. She got confused easily.) "Sayen?" They grunted, sounding slightly surprised and lifting her to her feet rather forcibly, which made her dizziness even worse. Sayen looked up at the man..woman..to thank her...him.
"Ahahah..Thanks..." She grinned rather stupidly, the fact that they knew her name didn't register in her brain at all. "Oh! You, ah, might want to leave this town..There's a nasty bunch of people back there." She warned, pointing behind her. As if on cue, three floating balloon-faced-cannon...things came around the corner and started firing. Sayen, just as she finally realized who she was talking to was indeed a man, was shoved aside and hit the ground rather hard. "Hey! Not cool!" She yelled at the person running towards the deadly things, getting back up and dusting herself off.
"Mugen Unsheathe, Innocence Activate!" She watched him draw a black katana and run his index and middle fingers over the back edge of the blade, causing the path his fingers made to glow. "Hell's Insects: First Illusion!" He sliced the air and horrific, silver, red-eyed flying insects emerged from the blade, speeding through the air towards the creatures. Seeing those bugs sent chills down the young girl's spine.
Sayen shuddered and turned her head away from the battle so she wouldn't have to look at those beady-eyed things that kept spawning only to face a gigantic being that loomed over her, all of its cannons aimed at her, but not firing. She had never really gotten a good look at these things, seeing as how she was either hiding from them, or busy focusing on her movements and plans instead of the enemy. She wish it had stayed that way.
Seeing this thing up close made her want to retch. As pointed out before, it was gigantic and egg-shaped..with something that looked as if they could be wires or thick rope hanging from the bottom. Its armor, no its skin, was a sickeningly gray and looked as if it was caked around its dark cannons, some of the few things attached to this thing that weren't gray and these were placed all over its body except for the front for best protection. They seemed to be able to bend in any direction, possibly able to turn a full 360 degrees, without breaking and this terrified Sayen. Its armor-like skin hung down by the base of its body, looking more like plates than anything, and broke down the middle in the front, by its...face, leaving an empty black space, which meant that it was probably hollow.
There was this strange figure in the front/center that looked as if it were a triangle with bubbled corners screwed into the body and strapped around the bottom. Sayen's eyes wandered up to its face, regretting it almost immediately. This face looked more like a porcelain mask with two striped horns that were cemented to its body on the sides of its oval face.
The expression...Oh God, it was horrible. Its face was twisted into a look of pure pain and hopelessness, black stripes under its eyes that must have represented tears running down its face. The filled pentangle on its forehead reminded Sayen of that snarky girl who had been shot, the same mark appearing all over her skin and reducing her to nothing but dust within a matter of seconds.
If this look scared her, it was nothing compared to the grin it made when it's eyes locked with her's. Sayen went from frightened to being so scared that she was paralyzed. Its grin grew wider and she couldn't even hear the click of the cannons once it seemed to have made up its mind that it was going to kill her. "Sayen! Move!" She thought she heard someone shout. She barely even remembered being tackled out of the way of the bullets. That face was burned into her mind.
That wasn't just a grin. It was one that was filled with sadism and blood-lust. As if it got some sort of kick out of killing humans.
A woman screamed. Sayen squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears to block it out, but that made the shrieking louder. Her throat started feeling rough and dry and that's when she realized it wasn't some random woman screaming. It was her.
Not a real great start for the first chapter, but whatcha gonna do? :P
Like I said, new chapters every other day.
