Annnnnd chapter 2 is out!
Enjoy! :)
In the previous chapter:
Mephisto gave cleaning missions to the Exwires. Yet, Rin wasn't able to fulfil the mission given to him due to some disturbance he didn't know the reason of. He started attacking nothing and activating his flames for no reason, which made Shura and Yukio really confused.
Chapter2
Everything is blurry
...
Shura laid Rin on the bed, then sat on the desk nearby and crossed her legs. Suguro sighed, looking away. "At least I won't be compelled to do the tidying!"
Shura lowered her head. She glared at the ground. I'm sure there was a reason why Rin has activated his flames. He's foolish, true, but not reckless enough to make such an irresponsible act. And also...
She gritted her teeth. What in the world happened at that moment; that moment?!
She thought everything was over, that everything was okay when Yukio and Rin destroyed the gate. Well, certainly, a lot of damage was caused through the battle. Maybe the damage went farther; perhaps the whole world! Though, they were able to avoid an even worse calamity which is the fusion between the demon world and the human world. Just imagining the thing made her shake. Satan, the bastard, is he even... Well, okay, he's not human. But he's beyond heartless, even toward his own children! Does he hate them that much?! If his fast-healing ability wasn't there, Rin could have died by that shot! Killing his own flesh and blood, he's really dreadful! There isn't even a strong enough word to describe him!
And the question that should be asked was; what in the world happened to him afterwards? Was he killed? Did he possess another body? Is he hanging around freely between humans? Did he come back again? Is he planning to retry the same project once more? Is it wrong to celebrate and feel relieved after such a sublime victory?
Many questions were asked, without being answered...
Everything is still blurry...
That's what she's always thought.
-o-
"So, we're at..." Shima smiled nervously, clenching his fists. "The... sport equipments' cave?! BECAUSE SUCH A PLACE EXISTED?" He growled, "H... Hope there isn't any spiders."
Konekomaru sighed, "Hope there is no ghouls!"
They glanced around.
"But it's true that this place looks like nothing!"
"Let's start the cleaning, maybe we can finish a few more hours from now!"
"YOU'RE KIDDING ME!"
-o-
"The stadiums..." Izumo took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "How are we supposed, just the two of us, to clean SEVEN STADIUMS?"
Shiemi laughed nervously, "W... We're not that lucky, right?"
"NOT AT ALL! And stop laughing so foolishly. It's pissing me off!" Izumo rumbled, looking away. She sighed, grabbing a sheet. Shiemi stared at her, confused, "What are you doing?"
"Shut up!" Izumo started drawing circles on the sheet. Maybe these guys can help us.
"I humbly call the Gods of Harvest. Follow my wishes, leave none unfulfilled!" Mike and Uke appeared in front of them. They glared at her. "Stop summoning us like this, it's foolish," they both shouted in objection.
Izumo glared back, "And how am I supposed to summon you?! DO YOU WANT A RED CARPET AS A WELCOME?"
"Why are you screaming, human?"
-o-
Shiemi laughed, trying to calm them down, "She's just… surprised of the circumstances."
"What are you talking about?!" They sat on the ground. Shiemi and Izumo explained them the whole situation. They gazed at each other.
"Hum… So, all in all, you summoned us to clean the mess for you?"
Izumo smirked, trying to hide her rage, "Ding!"
"We refuse!"
Her eyes widened as they both disappeared, "W… WHAT! Since when can they do that?"
"C… Calm down! Kamiki-san!"
-o-
The man slowly opened his eyes. He closed them as his gaze met the sunlight.
Sun… light?!
What was this?
Where was he?
He lay on the hard icy ground.
What happened?
Was he dead?
His eyes slowly widened. He glanced down at himself, only to let out a scream of astonishment.
"I'm… I'm…" He touched his chest, carefully and fearfully. Then, he brought up his hand toward his neck and face. "I'm… a… a…"
He glanced around, confused.
Ice… Ice… Ice…
He was surrounded by an endless layer of ice. He felt cold and scared. He was alone. Even him, he felt scared. He bit his lips, lowering his head. He felt too scared even to scream. He couldn't do anything, not even stand up.
The silent and freezing breeze slowly went through his shredded black shirt. He wrapped his arms around himself, in a futile attempt to get some warmth.
He felt insecure.
He felt lost.
He felt uncomfortable.
The purplish marks on his pale skin were bleeding slightly, but relentlessly. He felt sore. His heart was beating fast, too fast that he thought it might stop. He couldn't explain anything. He was a human. He was in the human world. He was in Assiah.
Why?
Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
How… How was he able to survive?
How did he get a human form?
Just… Who is he?
He winced in pain, carefully placing a hand on his belly. He stared at the red substance on the icy floor, a blemish on the whiteness. Then, he whined in pain and collapsed on the ground. He didn't know why he was bleeding. He didn't know why he was in pain. He stared at the cloudy sky, eyes half-closed. He had no powers. He was out of spirit, out of life; of everything. Blood covered the ground. His raven hair fell on his face and shaded it.
He knew that nobody would be there to save him. So it was useless to try screaming for help. Everything was going dark. He felt his eyelids dropping. And without him finding out, he was dying.
That was the only thing he deserved.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Nobody would find him. He didn't have to worry about his grave! The snow will just fall and will make one for him! He felt his heart beating even faster.
He felt a hot liquid on his face. Maybe it was lava?
No, impossible…
He felt his stomach tight. He felt bad, really bad.
He couldn't describe such a disagreeable feeling.
The memories of yesterday started flowing through his mind. He started remembering everything. But, what could be done to change it? He was already dying. At least that way, he wouldn't die in front of those who have always wished for him to die. At least, he'd keep the little pride that was left in him, if he dies that way.
At least, there…
He gasped. The crimson liquid ran from his mouth.
What was that, inside of him?
No…
How did he get there?
"P… lea… se…" He pronounced the letters, desperately and faintly. He opened his mouth to speak, but just screamed instead. His pain was way too intense for him to handle.
He was paying back...
He was paying back…
He was paying back…
The world he wanted to destroy was destroying him.
The world he wanted to evolve was annihilating him.
The world he wanted to live in was killing him.
The beautiful lullaby of this snow forest was taking him away. He wanted to sleep so badly! He felt so tired. He just wanted to sleep forever.
Why has he been waiting for so long?
You're not my father… I'LL NEVER CALL YOU FATHER!
He heard footsteps coming closer and closer and seconds went by…
Did someone hear his scream? Will he be rescued?
"It's too early for you to sleep," a purple-haired man knelt near him. A devilish smirk was engraved on his lips, "Brother."
The dying man blankly stared at him. He was too tired even to make an expression. The purple-haired laughed weakly. He carefully touched his brother's bloody belly with his fingertips. "But, it's okay! I'll make you sleep!"
Yukio…
The man smirked, hearing his brother's loud scream as purple spells spared along his hand. He slowly pushed it deeper into the injury.
R… R… in!
The man stood up, wiping away the blood staining his hand. He glanced down at his brother, who has already lost consciousness.
"Oh, sorry! I went too far, huh?!"
He laughed, hearing no answer. He carefully lifted his brother and started walking away and humming.
R… R… i…
-o-
(Midnight)
Rin gasped in shock and sat on the bed. Wh… What the hell was that?
He gazed at the window, confused. More importantly…
He tightened his hold on the blanket. Who has just... called my name?!
To be continued...
I need your opinion! Review and tell me about what do you expect will happen? I don't know! It was truly a pleasure for me to write this! I know the chapters are short and I hate that. I'll correct that matter later!
