Wow, that first Chapter was pretty good in my opinion. Though some of you guys wouldn't get it unless you're in Puerto Rico. FYI just in case, by Gulf explosion I mean that the Gulf Petroleum Refinery exploded and burned for about 3 or 4 days I think. . . I just wanted to make stuff fit. Oh! Kakos are like. . . puertorican gangsters! Sometimes they can get really annoying! Please Review! And Enjoy!
I was inside the circle of shadows. The "kakos" got in a closer circle, pressing me in on all sides. I could only see the purple sky as dawn slowly made her appearance. They kept on pushing me against each other, shoving me and ripping my bone bracelet from my wrist, where it fell to the floor in pieces. They jeered and taunted. Someone punched me in the groin and I felt the wind go out of me. I was in the floor now, darkness was everywhere. They then proceeded to wordlessly beat me up, tearing up my clothes and kicking me everywhere. I shielded my face as I felt the solid blows all over my body. I felt the world slowly slipping away. Everything was black, no white, wait I'm sure it's black. My eyes kept focusing on the bright light I saw in front of me. The light slowly concentrated itself into the silhouette of a person. A booming voice spoke to me in Japanese, yet I understood every word perfectly.
"Don't hold yourself back. . ."
"I don't fight. . ."
"You are not going to hurt them, I'll help you purify the spirits inside them , making them completely succumb to their desires to be violent."
I couldn't protest, the light slowly enveloped around me and I could only see white. When the light was gone I saw I was standing. I was a head taller than them. But that's not what intrigued me. I saw black billowy figures behind all of them. They hissed at me while revealing their red eyes and sharp teeth. I saw they had dragged me behind a huge white circular structure. It looked like a huge drum. I felt a rush and jumped just as I heard a click behind me. I was on top of the gigantic petroleum drum. I looked down to see someone had stalked me from behind and tried to press a gun against my back. I felt the light within me, giving me instructions. I put my left hand in front of my face and closed my eyes. Words came out, but they were deep, guttural, and pronounced at an inhumane speed. I opened my eyes to see a dozen black puffs of smoke to disappear up into nothingness as the kakos flew over the fence and slammed against the floor behind the fence. I felt the power pulse through my veins. I lowered my hand, from which materialized a string of white beads. I smelled something weird and heard something flare. I looked down and saw fire at my feet.
BOOM!
I Myself flew with the violence of the explosion. I was flying, free. Feeling long straight hair I didn't have before whip against my face as I landed on the roof of the temple. . .
I woke up gasping for air and feeling the freezing sweat trickling down my face, my normal unchanged face with short curly hair. I slowly came to myself and remembered. This was going to be my third day in the temple. Things in the temple were going well, but not to my liking. But first, let me tell you about what happened when I entered Joutoku-sama's office.
Well I was extremely nervous already. For one, I think the blond girl called me a "cute dwarf". I'm exactly 5'4; not that short by our standards. When the office opened, I resisted the urge to cough, as a billowing cloud of rich yellow tobacco smoke met me head on. An old woman with a cloth draped over her head was sitting cross-legged behind a table. The blonde girl smiled and stepped out of the room, closing the door gently. The old woman chuckled and puffed on the cigarette in her mouth. She had both her eyes closed. I stayed standing up, something told me that being in a temple was really strict. The woman opened one eye and said in perfect English, "What are you waiting for, an invitation? Sit your butt down." I sat down in the same fashion as the old lady was and waited.
I was in for the biggest surprise of my life. She told me that whether I liked it or not I was going to be here for a week, or go to New York. She said that I was a very distant relative of some guy named Saizen and that it seemed I had his power. I didn't know what to make of this. She told me that all the pent up energy inside me was starting to make me crack and that I had to learn to control it. She told me I had to perform an awakening at least once this week or she'll have to send me to her superiors so they can painfully try to extract my "powers". She also said that I was going to a school that was nearby and that I already had uniforms and everything. She (coincidentally) was the vice principal of the school. I had to take remedial Japanese lessons every day after school. She also told me I was going to be sharing a room with another monk. After bombarding me with sutra and scripture scrolls which I had to memorize, she smiled to herself and said, "You better not turn out like him or my nuns will fix your face for you." I swallowed and stood up, bowed and said my word of thanks before walking outside of the office.
I got inside the room Joutokuu mentioned I was going to stay in and deposited the mountains of scrolls inside. As I wondered what to do next, I changed into the black kimono that was lying on a second, cleaner straw mattress on the floor. It felt silky soft against my skin and a little breezy. I put on the sandals and heard something. I pretended I didn't hear anything and lied down on the mat, opening a sutra scroll and starting to read it out loud. It gave me kind of a whooping feeling in the pit of my stomach. I heard the hushed whispers again but this time, they were louder and I heard what they were saying.
"Do you think he's such a big pervert?" It was a voice I didn't recognize, it sounded like a girl was talking man-like.
The girly voice of the blond girl replied, "I don't think so, he looks like a little kid."
"That's it," I thought to myself. I looked at the small hole on the sliding door and made sure there wasn't an eye looking at me. Then I sneaked beside the door. I heard the red haired girl say, "Hey where's-?"
I opened the door, making five girls pile one on top of the other. A sixth girl was standing at the door looking at them and shaking her head.
"Oh, dear."
She was gorgeous, I felt my face growing warm again as I saw her short brown hair which complimented her eyes, which weren't almond-shaped. The kimono clashed wonderfully with her light brown skin and a cute face, like a child. Her thick eyebrows added some weird charm to her.
The blonde girl stood up and put her face close to mine's again, studying me with scanning eyes.
"Chibi-kun, you're face is red."
I blushed even harder. My days in this temple are going to be something I'll keep with me forever, indeed.
I know, Sumi? I don't know but I think if she were real a lot of guys here would fall for her. . . anyways Please Rewiew!!
