My God! People liked the last one and favorited it! I'm sooooo happy! ^^ Never thought something I made on the spur of the moment would be popular in any sense…. Yeah boredom in school! So that place is good for something after all. Lol! Sorry that this took long to make, procrastination and being overloaded with schoolwork is not a good combination… Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: This should be obvious…..but I do not own Tsubasa….. Shocked, aren't you?
Bed Time Stories
The group had just landed on a new world, nothing new.
With a sigh, Kurogane surveyed the area for any lethal threats.
It was dark, the stars shining dimly, the moon half-hidden behind clouds. Large trees dominated the space so it was difficult to see any surrounding structures. The only sounds the ninja could detect were the dim chirp of crickets and the eerie calls of nocturnal creatures.
"This place seems harmless enough." He grunted. "We should make a fire and go to bed. We can look for the feather when the sun rises."
Fai gave a joyful squeal that sent Sakura and Mokona jumping.
"W-what is it, Fai-san?" Stuttered the terrified girl.
Laughing the blonde patted her head.
"This is perfect!" He cheered. "The dreary atmosphere, the eerie noses, the almost moonless sky-"
Kurogane interrupted him abruptly, "What are you getting at mage?"
A large, fake-demented smile crept onto the shorter man's mouth. He then went behind Syaoran and Sakura and draped his long arms loosely over their shoulders; chills passed down the ninja's back at the look on the man's face. This was going to be a hell of a night.
Fai was pleased at the response he was getting from the others so he continued.
"I was going to say this is the perfect setting to tell some good old fashion ghost stories before we retire to bed."
Mokona squealed at the proposition. Jumping onto Fai's shoulder it began to laugh as Fai had earlier.
"Mokona is the master at scary stories; it is one of Mokona's 108 secret skills!"
"Is this really the appropriate time to be telling stories?" Asked Syaoran.
"Of course!" Exclaimed Fai, "Besides, who knows when we'll find a perfect setting like this one? We need to take advantage of this moment."
"I think it sounds fun!" Chimed in Sakura.
Kurogane sighed. He knew there would be no getting past this now that the princess agreed. A sick feeling in his stomach told him this was going to be a hell of a night…
XXXX
It only took the group less than ten minutes to set up a quick fire. When that was done they gathered around it in a circle, Fai and Kurogane next to each other on one side and Sakura, Syaoran, and Mokona on the other.
To pick who went first they had a rock, paper, scissors match.
Sakura-who wasn't paying attention at the time-lost.
"Hhm…" She hummed, "There once were these four teenagers and their dog. They went around all over the country solving mysteries in this really ugly van with flowers painted on the side. One day when they were solving the mystery of the cotton candy monster a giant rat jumped out at them and ate them. The end."
"………………"
"Sakura-chan…" Said a sweat dropping Fai, "I don't think that counts as a scary story…"
"But they get eaten by a rat!" She gestured using her hands in a chomping motion, "Wouldn't you be afraid if you were eaten by a rat, Fai-san?"
"Uhhh…"
The ninja rolled his eyes. "Sure kid, it's a super scary story. Now, who's next?"
"I'll go." Said Syaoran.
Standing up the brunette leaned over the fire, shadows dancing over his face.
"A long time ago there were these two young friends, Terry and Clyde. They did everything together. Swim, play soccer, they even ate all their meals together. Nothing could separate these two, they were that close. Or so it seemed…
"One day Clyde suddenly went missing. Terry looked everywhere for him but he was nowhere. He wasn't at his home, the park, the church, or at the school. It was as if he disappeared off the face of the earth.
"After a long day of searching Terry decided to take a short cut home through the forest. Everyone in town thought that the forest was haunted but Terry didn't believe it. Though it was dark, he was pretty sure he could find his way home. An hour of wandering passed and he knew he was lost.
"Behind him he heard the sound of snapping twigs, as if someone was running in his direction. Now scared Terry began running for his life. His heart was racing. The faster he went the louder the sound of snapping twigs. Crack! He ran until he reached the river, glad to know he was at the edge of the forest. That gladness soon died away. The moon shone onto the river, illuminating it so one could see everything in the water. Floating lifelessly in the middle of the river was….Clyde.
"Terry screamed at the top of his lungs. Turning around he was prepared to run but was stopped by a ghastly figure of a boy.
"'C-clyde….' he stuttered, 'but I just saw your body in the wa-'
"Clyde reached out to touch Terry but his hand went right through his chest.
"'I'm dead Terry.' Said the entity, 'and it's your fault. A bunch of the bullies who were picking on you went after me after I stood up for you. They beat me up real good, that they did. They beat me till I was dead…'
"Terry's heart stopped a moment as he remembered the day.
"'Why didn't you help me Terry?' continued Clyde, 'I called and called for you but you didn't answer. Why didn't you answer Terry? Weren't we friends? I trusted you. I knew you were there, watching them kill me, but you never did nothing.'
"'Clyde, I-'
"'No more excuses Terry.' a knife appeared in Clyde's hand. Before Terry could react the knife was thrusted into his chest. It only took a few seconds for him to fall to the forest floor, dead. 'Good-bye Terry. See you in hell…'
"Weeks later both Terry's and Clyde's bodies were found. Terry was diagnosed as dyeing from a fatal stab wound. They found inside the decayed body of Clyde's coat was a knife, covered with Terry's blood."
The blonde shuddered, wrapping his coat around his body tightly. "T-that was a good story Syaoran-kun." He stuttered.
"S-s-sure was," Agreed Mokona from Sakura's shoulder.
Kurogane laughed at how scared everyone was of Syaoran's story.
"It's just a dumb story, you chickens." He scoffed, "It's not like it really happened, right kid?"
Syaoran shook his head. "No, it's true. It really happened in a small town south of my hometown. The story of Terry and Clyde still remains a mystery to this day."
A loud howl rang through the night sky then, causing everyone-even tough Kurogane- to jump.
"Oookay!" Declared the mage. "I think it's time to go to bed!"
Everyone quickly nodded, huddling up in fright.
Man, this one was a little retarded, ended a bit quick but I couldn't think of anything… Sorry people if Syaoran's little story scared you! I don't know where that came from in my brain but it wanted to come out! Next time I'll give you a nice funny fluff story. As a suggestion from my first reviewer it will involve a good old fairy tail and Kurogane in a dress! ^^ If you have anything you would like to see please feel free to say so, I'm open to all requests!
Please review! I got cookies!
