Chapter 1: The arrival of Neko, Kotori, and Utari.
"Kotori! Kotori!" A young girl standing in between two others in a go-cart yelled. Her long red hair wavered in the wind and she hung onto the two green bars on either side of her. "Go faster Kotori!"
"Woooohooo!" Kotori screamed stepping harder on the gas pedal. Dirt blew from behind the green go-cart as the sped down the long dirt road. The navy blue ribbons that held her long silver-blue hair in pigtails, flew like banners. Clinging to the side of the go-cart was Neko.
"Kotori! Slow down! The gate is approaching really fast!" Neko yelled; one arm wrapped tightly around a side bar, while the other held fast to the denim headband in her shoulder length brown hair.
"Hang tight everyone!" Kotori commanded as she slammed on the breaks and turned the steering wheel sharply. The little vehicle swung around and stopped only a few inches away from the silver gate. Dirt surrounded them as Kotori and Utari laughed and Neko tried to get back to her senses. She staggered away from the go-cart and fell off the road and onto the tall green grass that lined the road.
"I'm never riding with you driving again!" She said pointing to Kotori as if she were guilty of a crime. Kotori smirked and winked at Neko.
"Aw..come on Neko...it was fun!" Utari said.
"Fun! She nearly killed us!" Neko yelled and laughed at the same time.
"Well you know what they say! Life without danger is a waste of oxygen!" Kotori laughed. "Get back in Neko. I'll take it easy going back." Both her and Utari smiled.
Neko rolled her blue eyes. All of their eyes were very unique. Neko's eyes were a baby blue with a golden ring surrounding them. Utari's eyes were a mixture of brown and blue which made them seem like they were tie-dyed. Then Kotori's eyes were a bright green with a ten-pointed star surrounding the pupil.
"Ok, but you'd better go slower than what you just did. And don't turn and stop like that!" Neko gently punched Kotori in her arm. Kotori started the engine. She turned and away from the gate and backed up to drive back to the ranch house. Kotori couldn't always remember everything she was told; sometimes it was a good thing and sometimes it was bad. What happened next was a twist of fate.
As Kotori was backing up, she had forgotten about the gasoline that ran from the street, along the fence line, all the way to the house. Neko and Utari began singing a song and were oblivious to the world. The gasoline line was hidden underneath some dirt and grass, so Kotori didn't see it and she had completely forgotten about it. Utari turned around and caught a glimpse of the black pipe.
"Kotori! Stop!" Utari screamed, but it was too late. Kotori backed over the line and a huge explosion engulfed all three girls.
Somewhere in a swirl of many dimensions...
Utari's eyes fluttered opened. She tried to take in her surroundings. She was floating and a mixture of blue, green, yellow, and red clouds. Far away in a distance were a few black portals. Near her, Kotori and Neko were floating. Both of them were still unconscious.
"Kotori Neko!" Utari yelled and it echoed through the colorful abyss. She looked around wondering how her voice could echo without anything to bounce off of.
"I think we died...and my poor go-cart! Kotori killed that too! And I just waxed it!." She said to herself. She looked over at Kotori and scowled. Utari "air swam" over to her and grabbed her neck. Violently, she shook Kotori till she stirred.
"Kotori you idiot! You killed us! Now we're floating in limbo!" Utari cried slapping Kotori.
Kotori's eyes flew opened. She looked around at the colors and at the other two girls. She moaned, pushing Utari away.
"I don't want to do the limbo." She muttered.
"We're in limbo! The place between heaven and earth!"
Kotori moved around trying to find the ground. Only then did it hit her that there was no ground. She looked at Utari with a concerned look. Then her eyes became big and teary.
"God doesn't love me!" Kotori cried.
"Yeah, and hell doesn't want to put up with your crying." Utari snapped putting her pale hands over her ears. Neko finally woke up and looked at Utari and Kotori.
"Hey guys...why are we floating in space." Neko whispered.
"Neko you're awake!" Utari screeched with glee. "We aren't in space. I think Kotori killed us, cause she ran over the damn gasoline line." She looked back at Kotori who was doing flips and laughing. Utari sighed and looked back at Neko who was looking around.
"If we're dead, then why are there little black portals?" Neko asked
"Those may not be portals. They may just be death black holes or decoration. Kotori what do you think?" Both girls looked at Kotori.
"Weeeeeeeeee! Round and round I go! Where I'll stop nobody knows!" Kotori squealed still doing her flips. She was drifting further and further away. "Hey! Utari! Neko! Little black holes! Let's go look at them!" She yelled attempting to swim over to one of the black holes.
"Kotori you brain donar!" Neko pouted. "You shouldn't go looking at black holes without me!"
Utari was surprised at Neko. She had expected Neko to have more sense than that. She only watched speechless as Neko swam away to catch up with Kotori. Utari shook her head and tried to stay calm.
"You're both idiots! Come back!" Utari yelled at them. The other two ignored Utari and continued on their marry way. "You two are going to be the second death of me!" Utari cried as she quickly swam after Neko and Kotori.
As Kotori neared the black hole, the scenery changed. The colors swirled, and purple became the dominant color. Kotori turned around and saw Neko and Utari coming towards her. She stopped and let them catch up.
"Grab my hand Neko!" She yelled as Neko approached her. Neko took a tight grip on Kotori's hand, before turning around and doing the same for Utari.
"What are we doing?" Utari questioned.
"Well I don't think we want to stay in this place forever. These are probably portals so...lets see where they take us!" Kotori cried out as she leaned towards one of the portals. Neko had a big smile on her face, but Utari was still uneasy.
"Hi ho nothing! Away!" Neko shouted as Kotori pulled them into the portal. She slowly entered one hand and before they knew it, all three girls were being pulled through a swarm of black white and what looked light stars. Neko and Kotori were yelling with excitement while Utari yelled from uncertainty. For a while they traveled at a rapid speed, never letting go of each others' hands. From what appeared to be the end of the portal was a blue bubble. They passed through and again everything went black. The trio would awake in a new world...
Ok that is a little background of how they get there! Hope you enjoyed. Next chapter...the fun really begins, and the randomness takes over!!!!
