Okay, so I got this idea from someone else. I totally agree with them, though, Hataraku Maou-Sama (That's the Japanese title, if you have no idea) doesn't have nearly enough fanfiction.
Then again, it's only one season long- subbed- and the subbed episodes only came out in 2013. BUT THEY'RE MAKING A SEASON 2!
Anyways, here we go!
Human by Krewella
Is anybody there?
Does anybody care
What I'm feeling?
I wanna disappear
So nobody can hear
Me when I'm screamin'
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
The night is bitter cold
I wonder if you know
That I'm sleepless
Waitin' like a ghost
When I need you the most
I go unnoticed
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
The weight of the world is pullin' me down
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
Every breath feels like I'm gonna drown
(Where are you now, where are you now?)
I'm the only one left alone on this Earth
Singin' this song but can't find the words
'Cause I could use a hand sometimes
Yeah, I could use a hand sometimes
They say pain is an illusion
This is just a bruise
And you are just confused
But I am only human
I could use a hand sometimes
I am only human
I flopped onto my bed. "So, can we change our names when we get there?" I asked.
"Aislin, did you call me just to ask me that?" Aria sighed.
"Maybe. So, can we?"
"I suppose. We'll talk about it when we get home."
"Okay. Later!" I sat up and walked over to my closet. Aria was my legal guardian- she took me in after my parents died five years ago- but she was more like an older sister. One month ago, her company- whose headquarters is in Tokyo- called and told her they were transferring her to their main lab. Yeah, she's a scientist. A really good one, whose helped develop all sorts of life-saving drugs.
The plane left tomorrow afternoon, after I was done with school. What to take with me to Japan? I spoke fluent Japanese- read it too, Aria made sure of that. So that meant I could just buy new mangas when I got there, that would save on space. I could buy a new cellphone too, but there was no way I was leaving my laptop behind. I needed that, mainly for watching anime and checking on various websites.
All in all, I was packed in less than a half an hour.
"You wanna take the window seat?" Aria asked. Well, now she was was Kamikaze Nagisa. I was going to be Kamikaze Yumeka now. I liked the name Yumeka, it meant "dream child." My dreams were important, for some strange reason they always seemed to tell me something about the future.
"I'll give you the window seat," I said.
She shrugged. "Okay." Once the plane took off, she pulled out her laptop and started doing... well, I don't know what. Eventually, we ended up watching anime. I fell asleep in the middle of an episode.
I was in the desert. I looked different, cooler, with pink hair and red eyes. In my dream, I was being chased by a strange monster- a two headed snake that was bigger than me. It was night time, battles were raging all around city, my home, it was on fire. I had to save it.
I turned around. "You're not going to give up , are you?" I said, hands on my hips. "Okay, fine. Have it your way." I was speaking a strange language, foreign yet oddly familiar. I grinned as I willed thorny vines to sprout from the ground beneath the monster, impaling him and wrapping itself around him. I walked away as the monster died. "Your funeral."
I started to run back to the city. I had to protect the innocents within, those damn monsters would rip them to shreds. Suddenly, someone landed in front of me. I- well, the me in the dream- recognized him as Alsiel, gneral of the demon army to the East. He smiled, but it wasn't a pleasant smile. "So you're the wench that's been deterring my army."
I created a sword. "Yes."
"Miss! Miss!" I awoke with a gasp. The flight attendant was looking at me. "We're about to deal with some air turbulence. Please make sure you and your companion are buckled." I nodded, looking over at Nagisa, who was fast asleep.
It wasn't long before the plane shook and trembled. The lights flickered, going out for a few seconds. When they came back on, everything had changed. Instead of being in a normal, three-dimensional world, we were in an anime.
I pulled out a mirror to inspect myself. Was this real? I was certainly in an anime, my face was structured like I was in one. But, I didn't look the same. My hair, which had been long and blonde was now boy-short and cherry-blossom pink, and kind of spikey; and my brown eyes were now blood-red. I looked the way I did in my dream, minus the clothes. My clothes had also changed- now I was wearing a pink short-sleeved V-neck over a purple cami and denim shorts. THat didn't make sense. It was November, right?
I pulled out my laptop, just to check. It said "July 6." Wait, what? What's going on here?
A week later, I still hadn't quite figured out what was going on, but I was getting used to life in Japan. I'd come in about two weeks before summer break, so class was pretty easy. I decided to get a job at this bookstore near a MgRonald's and a SFC. Wow, two fast-food places so close to each other. Competition must be intense.
"Why don't you go down to the baths, Urushihara?" Ashiya suggested.
He waved him off. "I'm busy. Maybe later."
"Busy playing computer games? You're going to the baths, even if I have to drag you there."
Which is exactly what he ended up doing, dragging a struggling and protesting Urushihara down towards the baths. Someone bumped into them. "Oh, sorry!"
"It's no problem," Ashiya said, standing as he looked at the girl in front of him. "Sabina?!"
