So, I've rewritten this first chapter, and I hope you like it better than what I previously had. It is MUCH shorter, as I eliminated all the pointless rants... read, and tell me what you think!
White vs. Dark
Tyki
Sitting in an armchair by the fire in the Noah family's living room, Tyki toyed with his hat absent-mindedly as Road played with Lero. Road, not liking the bored atmosphere at all, said,
"C'mon Tyki, let's go hunt Innocence!"
"Road-tama, you must not go running off without permission ~Lero~!" said everyone's favourite pink-umbrella-with-a-talking-pumpkin-head (for what other choice do we have), Lero. Road, choosing to ignore the umbrella, continued to pester Tyki. Finally, Tyki was forced to give in. He got up from his armchair, sighing, and followed a skipping Road through one of her doors.
On the other side of this door lay a small town in a beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and the hint of an ocean breeze wafting in from somewhere in the distance. But none of this was what Road and Tyki were paying attention to. All they felt was the sense of Innocence that was nearby. Both Noah began to get excited with this sense. This was what they lived for, to destroy Innocence and often those who possess it. The sense this time was especially strong. As they drew nearer, they could tell more about the Innocence… or Innocences, for with a sense this strong, there had to be more than one. A General and his disciples, perhaps? Suddenly, the sense became two senses, the exorcists (as the Noah assumed them to be) had separated. The pair saw this as a perfect opportunity to attack. When they approached, they saw the black and white coat of an exorcist worn on a small body that was hunched over something, as if he was picking something up from the ground.
"Exorcist," Road called, unable to resist teasing such an obviously easy target, "Do you want to plaaay with me?"
Tyki waited for the exorcist to turn around. He was excited, even though he wanted to fight the General of the group, not this small boy with his weak aura of Innocence. Slowly, the boy turned around. As the young eyes travelled from Road to Tyki, his fear turned into bewilderment and surprise.
"Tyki?..." he said
Eez! Why was Eez here? Tyki was quite happy with his balanced life; he did not want his white side to mix with his dark. He had been so careful! But Eez was there, and Road was staring at Tyki.
"Does he know you from somewhere, Tyki?" the blue haired girl asked quizzically. "Do you have a special claim on him?"
Eez also started to ask questions. "Who is that girl, Tyki? And what happened to your skin?"
Not knowing what else to do, Tyki approached Eez. He stuck his arm through the boy's shoulder, whispering,
"I am not on your side, run… now."
And Eez obeyed. He ran down the street as Tyki chased him. Eventually, though, Tyki "lost" him, but not before seeing what Eez held in his hand.
The buttons I brought him… And they now hold the aura of Innocence… Tyki thought as he returned to Road. He needed to do some serious thinking.
So? You like it? Do you like it better at least? Chapter three is being worked on at the moment, and I do have a plan for the end of this story, so I won't drop it. See you in chapter three! Please drop a review!
