How this is going to work:
These chapters aren't in any particular order chronologically. They're pretty much a bunch of one-shots.
Although these one-shots don't go in any specific chronological order, some of them will be connected, some of them WILL occur chronologically after previous chapters' one-shots.
Starting now, all chapters are in the POV of me, Aquailita.
The parts in / / and \ \ are Yami and Hikari speaking, as is obvious from the prologue, and it should be obvious by now who is saying what. /\ /\ is both of them. Anything in the slashes is NOT in 1st person or in Aqua's POV, unless otherwise implied.
Yami, Hikari, Aquailita, and their personalities/backstories/whatevers WILL be explained and revealed in time. However, nothing is laid out for you in black and white. You have to read each story to get the whole picture. I have a whole character plot concept thing already planned out in full, and I know exactly what I want to happen to each of them.
I take most of the dialogue and actions directly from the roleplay, but I cut out some parts for the sake of the story (for example, the parts where I'm talking to others about the RP or the game).
This story has no set schedule. It will usually be updated after I have an interesting RP using Yami and Hikari.
I will not explain anything else after this point unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, so I'll stop talking now and let you read.
This next one is most of a roleplay I did a week ago. The RP itself went into night time, but I cut out that part for fanfiction's sake. I did it partially with ryanson41 (ROBLOX), and also with other characters.
In order to get the stuff from these RPs, I record them using the ROBLOX camera thingy. These recordings are for my own personal use, and WILL NOT be put online for anyone to see.
In this chapter, Yami is a lazy bum XD, Aqualita gets pissed off, and Hikari wants to read a book.
I do not own Roblox or any of its trademarks. I also do not own "Vampire Roleplay (LightWeight!)" or anything from the game. The story from the book "Genesis" was taken directly from the game.
R&R
ENJOY~!
As I walked to town one morning, something felt amiss. There is usually a faint and barely noticeable buzz in my head. But that day, it was so faint that I could barely notice it at all, even less so than I usually could.
"Why does my head seem so quiet?" I wondered aloud.
\"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" Yami was in his soul room.\
/She rolled her eyes. "Yami you lazy bum."/
"Hm... Now it's suddenly not quiet..." I said a moment later. The buzz had returned, but it was only half as much as it would usually be. I could only hear it if I stayed totally silent and didn't think of anything else.
I shrugged and walked into town, putting this occurrence in the back of my mind.
I passed someone dressed in black and white clothes with yellow trim in the bar. He was trying to tear down the vending machine.
"!"
After a few seconds of watching him, I just moved on. I wasn't worried because I already had my soda, and didn't need to be concerned for the fate of the poor machine I battled most mornings.
A second later of walking, I suddenly decided to take off on wing and head for the library.
I turned the corner and flew inside.
When I had flown through he doorway, I landed and walked over to a table that always had only one chair facing the door and a lone book on the table.
\He yawned. He walked out of his soul room and into Aquailita's. "Good morning, Hikari."\
/"Good morning, lazy bum."/
\"What's going on?"\
I took a copy of the book, as it was one I had surprisingly never read before.
It was called Genesis. I put it away for the time being. I immediately left the library after that.
I didn't know where I wanted to go, after that, so I just headed for the church.
~Moments later...~
After standing on one of the walls of the Church's courtyard for a few seconds, I suddenly remembered where I was. A place of light was nearby! I only had three of the four swords I usually- no, ALWAYS- carried with me. The next two were in places of light. The light place was nearby.
I flew off the wall and over to the structure coming out of the ground that was on the left side of the church. I flew through the fake wall and down into the chambers of the place of light.
When I reached the bottom and was about to fly into the big room, I noticed two people talking. They were right in the doorway to the sword room!
"Like my hat?"
"Ya."
One of them, the one with the hat, turned to me, a gun in her hand.
"AWKWARD," she said with a laugh.
She turned back to the guy, who, as far as I could tell from where I was standing, was wearing all black.
"Uh..." I couldn't help but say shyly. They ignored me and continued talking.
Not wanting to pass or go near them, I took a detour and walked all the way through the hallway around the sword room to the other side, and entered the room from that side. By that time, they had moved away from the sword room.
I glanced at them. The girl had just moved out of my line of sight. I then turned to the first sword in front of me, the biggest one with a dark blue handle, wings flaring off from the sides of the hilt, and a dark blue gem embedded in the center on both sides of the hilt.
I gazed at it for a moment, admiring the antiquity of it. Then, I took one, as I had done so many times in the past.
I walked out of the sword room and took a few steps down the hallway, opposite the direction I just came.
A few steps later, I lifted off of the ground and flew the rest of the way.
I flew expertly down the tunnels and hallways and caves as I had done dozens of times before and could practically do with my eyes closed. A minute later, due to my speed, a spot of bright blue caught my eye. I stopped short. I had arrived at the tunnel entrance to the water temple. I flew inside and headed straight for the sword room.
There was only one sword there, the water one. Still on wing, I slowly approached it.
I briefly read the plague below the sword's pedestal.
[This frosted sword slew 24 enemies before its bearer fell.]
That number always struck me as odd. 24? Why 24? Why not 50? or 124? Or 240? Why ONLY twenty four?
It didn't really matter why the bearer of the sword only slew 24 enemies before his or her fall. All that mattered was that I would be the holder of it. I took one.
Then, without landing, I left the water temple through its connection to the lake. Instead of heading right, I headed left, flying up the ladder holes, then down into the small pool connected to the lake above.
I entered the lake and let my wings flow and sway in the water. Not needing to hold my breath in the magic waters of the lake, I simply swam up onto a ledge just below the water's surface. There, I reorganized the swords I had collected.
But as I was doing so, someone jumped into the water next to me.
I couldn't help it. I jumped.
She had straight brown hair that just passed her shoulders, and was fair-skinned. She had black cat ears. At first, I thought she might be a Neko but I said nothing because I don't like to assume. She smiled at me.
"Hi," she said cheerfully.
"Uh...hi..."
"Are you a vamp?"
My pupils dilated briefly and I felt my head go hot for an instant. My anger flared up and I felt my face go hot.
/"Uh...oh..."/
"Ugh!" I cried. "I'm not even going to bother talking to you!" I turned away from her, and prepared to turn the corner of the island ledge I was on. Before I walked away, I muttered under my breath, "Ignorant human." Then I stomped away, my wings leaving ripples in the water where they stuck out.
I didn't hear her say, "...Okay. I'm a vamp."
\"Aw... Hikari, she gets so upset when people mistake her for a vampire..."\
\"It's cute."\
/"Leave her alone, Yami. It's just a thing with her..."/
\"Turn her around. That girl is still there."\
"I guess I'm an ignorant vamp," a voice said from behind me.
"!" I turned and saw that same girl looking at me.
"Oh... Well then why can't you tell?!" I shouted. "I'M NOT A VAMPI-" I stopped myself and took a deep breath. This vampire didn't need to hear me rant. I only needed to explain myself and get out of there.
"Oh okay."
"Sorry," I said much more calmly.
"That's okay. I'm sorry, too."
"I'm not one. I HATE it when people ask if I'm a vampire."
"Okay..."
"Not all vampires have wings, and not all winged creatures are vampires."
"Oh," she said simply. "I know."
"I get it."
"I don't have wings and I'm a vamp." So she wasn't a Neko...
"If you're a vampire, then why didn't you sense that I wasn't one?" But the way that she said "vamp" instead of "vampire" made me suspect...
"I'm a new vamp."
"Oh..." I guessed right. "Okay..."
/.../
\...\
She smiled at me again.
"Hm...well erm..." Not that she was making me uncomfortable, but it was just that I'm extremely shy and the confidence I had gained over the vampire-confusion incident had worn off. I was ready to leave.
"See you around," she said before I had a chance to say something else.
"Bye, then, I guess..."
I barely heard her say "Bye" before I sprang out of the water and took off on wing to somewhere else.
But just before I could turn away...
"AQUA!"
I stopped. I turned around. Someone with spiky blue hair called me over. It was someone I knew before, an old friend named Ryan. He waved me over and I instantly obeyed his beckoning hand. I landed on the little island in the center of the lake. There was someone else there as well, a guy wearing all black with wavy black shoulder-length hair.
"Bro, this is Aqua," Ryan said to the guy there.
The guy waved at me. "Hello, madam."
"Aqua, this is my 'bro'."
I waved back shyly, blushing a bit. "Hi."
"Only you, Cool, and Small can see me," Ryan said. Then he suddenly looked like he remembered something. "Small..." Ryan took off flying somewhere, leaving me and his "bro"- apparently nicknamed "Cool"- alone.
I blushed a bit harder, not knowing what to do next about "Cool".
Cool walked away, not having noticed my shyness.
\"She's getting-"\
/In a warning tone, "Yami, shut up."/
\Yami took the warning seriously.\
After that, I spent the rest of the day eerily silent, not doing much but following Ryan around and watching the other going-ons around me. I have no idea what compelled me to do so... Something... I just didn't feel like doing much. It was odd. I know I'm a quiet listener but... Well basically what I was doing was either spying or eavesdropping.
But whatever I was doing and for whatever reason I was doing it, I managed to keep myself out of trouble all day.
~Later that day...~
Still silent, I flew over to the church and perched up on the church cross.
I stared blankly out on the town directly east of where I stood.
\"She's awfully quiet, Hikari. What's going on?"\
/"I have no idea."/
Suddenly, I heard a voice.
"I'll stay here."
Ryan had flown over. He passed, but doubled back when he saw me. "Aqua?"
"Hm?" I said. "Yeah?"
He landed on the part of the cross next to me. "Get on my level," he instructed.
\"FINALLY! SHE SPEAKS!"\
I stepped down from the top of the cross to the other side. Now we were face-to-face, eye-to-eye.
"Okay," he said simply.
"What is it?" I asked.
"What's up with..." He was asking me about someone we had been talking about earlier that week.
We only talked for a minute or two. Then he left.
/"Aaaannd He's gone. That was a short conversation."/
\"I agree. Is she going to go all quiet and antisocial on us again?"\
/"I hate to say it, but most likely."/
After that, instead of getting back on the top of the cross, I stayed on the side I was already standing on.
\"Dammit. Uh... Have her do something exciting. Oh! that book! The one from the library." He had suddenly remembered the book they had picked up earlier.\
/"Good idea. I actually wanted to read that book for myself."/
\"Perfect."\
I suddenly had the urge to go to the library. I flapped my wings and took off from the church cross.
I flew straight into town and headed for the library.
Upon reaching the library, I let myself glide to the ground. When I was on my feet, I walked in.
It was empty. I took a seat at the table with only one chair. I took out the book I had on me.
It was the first time since getting it that I had actually looked at it in detail. The title of it was "Genesis". The cover was a cool ocean blue. The word "Genesis" was written in a fancy script font and the author's name was scratched out, for some reason.
After staring at it for a moment or two, I opened it.
The subtitle at the top of the title page simply said "The beginning". I turned to the first page of the story. The text was in an old style font, but not cursive or script like the cover.
I began to read.
/\They were reading along./\
[Back when the earth was first created,] it began, [Mother Earth gave to her 6 groups of children gifts. To her children she gave different powers of the elements. Some she gave them all of the powers that she had. Some only one of them. She created creatures of the night, of the oceans, of the earth, and of the light.
['Help out humanity,' She said, 'Help them flourish on this world that I have them. I will bless individuals from time to time and the blessings will take many forms. You must all work together and help humanity in this harsh world I have made.' But the children would get into a war, a war that would ravage the world for eons to come.]
/"Hm..."/
\...\
[To the children of darkness however, she gave some a gift. The gift made them strong and fast, and a true master of the night. And the gift took many forms and showed itself in many ways. 'You will be guardians of the night,' She said to them, 'Watch over humanity and make the night safe for the fledgling humans.'
[And from that point on they were guardians of the night. But the gift that was given to them was also a curse for them. Although the rumors of them not being able to go into light or having to drink blood were false, it made them stand out from Mother Natures other children. Those 'blessed' with the gift were forever deemed outcasts from the world. And soon resentment started to fester in their souls.]
I turned the page. By then, I was already hooked, and would not register my hands turning (or not turning) the pages.
[To the children of light she gave them wings to soar through the blue sky with. 'You will be my guardians of the day, guide humanity and there goals make sure that your purpose is true and your reasons are just.' she said. From then on the children of light were the guardians of the day, looked by everyone as the favored of Mother Nature.
[Though Mother Nature said many times that she had no favorites everyone would still think that. This struck a cord with the already resentful children of darkness. They were no powerful then them, so why should they be the favorite of her? This would be a grudge that would hold for eons to come.]
[To the children of fire and water she also gave gifts. At the end she told her children, 'humanity is young, and needs a protector. You shall be theirs.' She said finally, 'Remember to love one another and never hold grudges.' Then she dispersed them throughout the land.
[Each child forged their own sword and would then, if in their wishes, be passed on to an apprentice. The each created a home in the likeness of their powers. Those that had multiple powers could go into multiple places of elements. The children then started to help humanity as it struggled in the world.]
I was still reading. It was a very intriguing story.
[6 children were especially close and although each being born to another power they formed a close bond. But the one born with the power of darkness whos name was Samuel got resentful of the others. The humans built monuments dedicated to those while the children of darkness were left out, unthanked in their job of keeping the night safe for them.
[The evil one whispered to the child of darkness like he whispered to all the children. And the child listened to the taunts and the gloating on how the other groups of children were more favored then him. Filled with rage he lashed out on a village that had a monument to all powers but the children of darkness.]
/"This is interesting. Yami...do you think something about your past could be in this book?"/
\Yami was suddenly very silent.\
/"Yami...?"/
\There was no reply, but he was still paying attention.\
/"...Okay, then..."/
[Though one village was nothing compared to the rest of humanity, the other 5 groups of children saw the act of rage and went to defend and stop their dark siblings. Feeling as if they wanted all the praise for themselves the children of darkness attacked the other groups of siblings.
[And so started the great war. This war would ravage humanity for 5 years and would leave the earth a ghost of its former self. All the while the Evil One would laugh at the destruction and sadness it cause for Mother Earth's children.]
The first chapter ended there. I closed the book.
Something didn't feel right in my heart. But what...? I couldn't say...
~In their soul hallway...~
/Hikari looked around the room. Yami had disappeared. She left the room. To her surprise, Yami wasn't in the hallway, like she had expected he would be./
/"Yami...? Are you okay? I'm sorry about my comment..."/
\Yami was in his soul room, instead of in the hallway or in Aquailita's soul room, like he usually would be. He sat on one of the benches. He had still been listening to the story, but he hadn't heard Hikari's last comments after "do you think something about your past could be in this book".\
/Hikari knocked on his soul room door. "You in there? Do you want to talk about it?"/
\No relpy.\
/She put a hand on the doorknob, but it shocked her a bit. It didn't hurt, but it felt odd and deterred her from trying to open the door. "Sorry." She didn't know that Yami had not purposely done that, but rather it was his soul room reacting to her and telling her what Yami WOULD have told her, had he been in front of her.../
\'Don't talk to me right now...'\
Fun facts:
As you know, the idea of multiple souls in one body was inspired by YGO. So is the idea of soul rooms and soul hallways. If you are a YGO fan, or want to read something about soul rooms and hallways, check out my YGO fic, Triangular Hallway. The yamis and hikaris' minds get linked when something happens to their Millenium Items.
Hope you like it so far!
See you next chapter!
BYEEEEEEE~!
