An Impossible World
Chapter two-The Door
Disclaimer: i don't own so tell those damned flying monkeys to leave me alone!
Fuji's eyes took awhile to clear even though the light was not that bright in the first place. Ryoma was standing in front of him as though he was frozen. Tezuka still had a hand on Fuji's shoulder, his other one rubbing his eyes. Fuji looked back at Tezuka and then back towards Ryoma who had yet to move. Fuji reached a hand out, again, to the younger boy; but he stopped when Ryoma hissed. Though Fuji was pretty sure it wasn't at him this time.
Ryoma, on the other hand, had smelled blood. It was not normal human blood but Dryin (1) blood. Not only that, it was familiar Dryin blood. That meant that there was a Door here. Anything could come out of a Door. Ryoma let out his breath in a long hiss. Of course, from where they were standing, none of them could see the Door. Ryoma slowly crouched down. He whispered to the two older men behind him.
"Shut the door behind you and stay at the door. Let nothing out and nothing in. Under no circumstances should anything get out of here. And for the safety of everyone else no one should enter. You both are already in severe danger. Make no noise until I call for you. Please." The two men looked at each other and backed up quietly to the door of the attic and shut it. They leaned against it half out of fear and fascination.
Ryoma stealthily crawled around the piled boxes near the attic door. He peeked around the edge of a particularly large box. There on the floor was a rectangle the size of a normal door. But instead of it looking like a normal door, it looked more like a shimmering, soft-blue pool. There is indeed a Door. But who has come through it? Ryoma pulled his head back and lifted one finger to his lips. He closed his eyes and evened his breath. "Recede and Respell." Ryoma whispered out the spell and opened his eyes, once again peeking around the box.
Ryoma watched as it seemed that the Door was gone. No light. No Door. Just an attic floor. Then, on the floor, there seemed to be a white outline tracing a rectangle the same size the Door had been. He watched as a shimmering blue ball appeared in the middle of the rectangle. The ball settled on the ground and immediately flattened and spread until it reached the white lines, thus creating the door. The time seemed to fast forward as the light suddenly grew and a creature covered in blood climbed out of the blue Door. It crawled over a couple of feet and collapsed on the opposite site of the Door from Ryoma. Ryoma saw the gold tendrils, that signaled the end of the spell he cast, spiral up and around before completely disappearing.
Ryoma instantly began calling upon his magic. "Protect" Ryoma whispered and flung his arms at the Door. A transparent gold shield-like barrier wrapped around the Door. Ryoma stood up and walked back to the attic door with haste. He was rather surprised when he heard both Fuji and Tezuka breathe a sigh of relief. Fuji even looked as if he was about to go over and hug the shorter man to make sure it was really him. Ryoma thanked his lucky stars that Fuji refrained from doing so. They needed some things for their guest and it was urgent.
"Buchou, Fuji-sempai, I need some help with something. Can one of you start a bath and get the first-aid kit ready? I also need a blanket and some rags. Please?" Ryoma was anxious. Who knew how long the creature had been injured. Fuji and Tezuka just looked at Ryoma as though he were crazy.
"Sure, but what is this all about Ryoma?" asked Fuji. Ryoma had turned around and started walking back around the boxes. He stopped and looked at them over his shoulder. He looked as if he was contemplating on telling them or not. Then he smiled.
"We have a new housemate."
(1) Dryin- it's pronounced as DREEN. later in the story i'll post a dictionary of places and words and creatures. as for what a Dryin is... that will be discovered in the next chapter.XD (P.S. most mysteries of these two chapters will be found out in the next chapter.)
AAhhh! chappie two is up! YAY! the pairings are still up for votes. i probably won't do anything much about pairings for awhile. i hope this chapter is not confusing but suspenseful. i'll try to work on longer chapters too. this one only rounds up to 861 words. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
the other regulars will appear in the next chapter for those wondering.
pairings up for debate and their tallies so far:
Tezuka x Ryoma x Fuji 2
Ryoma x Fuji 1
Tezuka x Ryoma 1
comments loved. critisisms appriciated. flames used to burn the flying monkeys disturbing my sleep.
