Chapter 3
Leo's POV
Earlier when I waited for my Meister to give me orders the other me started to talk.
Really Leo? It said. Still taking orders from a 'female'? You should kill her while you still have the upper hand.
Yeah, I stated with a hint of annoyance. As if you have any right to speak, you are the reason why-
What? I could feel the other me begin to chuckle darkly, the reason behind those deaths you witness, the ones you almost killed in order to ea-
"Yo, Leo," I blinked back to reality and faced the red eyed kid who had been calling my name. I raised an eyebrow, "What happened?"
He was about to tell me, until I felt someone yank my ear. My Meister responded with one of her "thoughts" through our Callers (the horn earing). Soul is going to show you around, Leo, she thought to me, Remember what I told you.
My eyes grew. I guess she wasn't kidding about... that. Then again, she doesn't kid. I shook my head and told Soul, "Never mind."
Then she let go and I made my way over to him, "Lead the way."
Now we were walking up a stair case on our little tour as the boy called Soul kept talking, I noticed two things. One : Soul was bored of this tour, I could tell because he would go on and on about how 'lame' and 'uncool' everything was. And two : someone was following us. This someone who had a arua that I was all to familiar with. I snapped my head in the dierction of this person who was lingering back in the shadows.
"Yo Leo?" I heard Soul ask, "What's up?"
I hated this type of arua. "Don't you sense it?" I asked him.
Soul gave me a questioned look, "What are you talking about?"
A Kishin, I said to myself.
No der Boy Genius, the other me began. And do you believe that you can really trust shark tooth?
I was going to respond back, but my flashbacks started.
Flashback
'Leo!'
No, I thought, Kana! I looked around the darken room and pushed myself off the floor. I cringed, 'Agh!' I yelled as my legs gave out. 'Kana!' I shouted out of fear. I instinctively crawled around until I felt something sturdy enough to stand. Here goes nothing. I slowly pulled myself up, until I spotted a bright label that read : GHOUL Inc. My brows furrowed, why am I here? Then realization hit me and my eyes widen.
I quickly pushed off the floor and started running. I stumbled over company boxes, ignoring the aching pain in my legs, I wasn't stopping until I... I spotted her.
Even through the dingy room I was able to make out her sandy hair color.
'Kana!' I had yelled as I sprited towards her.
Her head whipped to face me, 'Leo!'
That's when I saw him. The man with a sharp spear that easily disconnected her head from her neck.
I looked down to see the vital fluid that spilled from Kana's top half. As the remaining part collapsed with a hard thud. The sickening smell filled my nose; death.
No, I thought as I stepped back. Out of the terror before me I hadn't noticed that I pressed back onto something...soft. I was to afraid to look behind, as I slowly placed a hand on the soft object I was currently up against. Bringing my hand back I noticed it was covered in blood.
What? I thought when I heard a voice.
'Leo...' I turned around.
Suki! I stared and saw my other half dying right in front of me. Her once strong, beautiful face was now covered in scratches, and bruises. Half of her head was caved inward, while the other half had burnt strains of hair. She was even clutching her stomach...
'Leo,' Suki said in a whisper. She was looking at me through a bloody puffed up eye, and I saw her mouth one word...'Run'.
The next thing I know her whole body split apart. Bits flew on me. I was terrified. I wanted to yell, but my scream was stuck in my throat. In that moment I was useless.
'Good,' A voice boomed from behind me. It was the Kishin.
I wanted to kill that monster! But I still couldn't move.
'You heard what the 4th of the Ghoul Family said...' the thing laughed hysterically, 'RUN!' "
End of flashback
Soul POV
"Hey, Leo?" Bushy eyebrows froze for a moment. He looked as if he was remembering something... something he didn't want to remember.
I was about to ask him what was wrong, but he finally moved. He scrunched his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure that there are no... Kishins here?"
Before I could answer Eyebrows quickly ran toward the shadows and swung his fist.
"Ahhhh!" The yell had came from the from the shadows. I recognized the voice.
"Leo!" I yelled, as Leo's arm had changed to a pointed prong shaped metal spike, pointing the tip at Corona's throat.
"Leo!" I couldn't use my body on my own. So I just ran to Corona's side, "Stop! He's my friend!"
Leo did not bring down his guard, "He's a Kishin... I can sense it..."
I didn't know how he knew this, or sense it, but I tried to convince the Giant.
"Leo, calm down. Corona here wouldn't hurt a fly!" As if on cue a fly flew toward Corona.
"Ahhh!" Corona rolled up in a ball and started to cry.
Really? I though as I sweat dropped looking at Corona.
Leo changed his arm back. "Ok, I believe you."
"Ok," I said. Still a bit confused from what just happened. Who is this dude, really?
I don't really know, but what I did know was that I wasn't expecting Leo to bend down next to Corona, with no expression, and ask, "Are you okay?"
Corona peeked up from his ball. "Y...Y...Yes. Please don't hurt me..."
Leo gently patted his head and sighed, "Sorry," he said. "I just..." his eyes hardened as he looked at the ground. His expression looked.. .lost.
"Yo," I called to Leo, "Don't worry, we all do things that make us a little insane. Right?"
Leo stared at me for a moment like if he was deciding on something, and smirked, "Yeah."
I smirked, "It's about time you smiled, dude."
Leo frowned and stood up, "Soul, are you gay?"
I got two tick marks, "Do I look gay Bushy Eyebrows?"
"Well," he said, "A second ago you sounded a little cheesy. Not to mention a bit corny..."
"Um...Soul," Corona interrupted.
We both looked down at Corona, "Yeah Corona?" I asked.
"Do you know where Maka is?"
I nodded. "Yeah, we're about to meet up with her. Why don't you come with us." I pointed my thumb out near the exist, "It's not cool to be alone."
"Okay," Corona smiled and he slowly got up and passed the yet again frozen Leo.
Normal POV
~Inside Leo's head~ Aww, the other voice began. Sad because you'll never be cool? After those females that you had grown so fawn of just died, and abandoned you with that little wench...
Shut up! Leo thought. Thanks to you and your little flashbacks, I will never forget-
Forget what! The fact that you wanted to become the same thing that murdered the females just so you were able to impress your so called daddy.
Leo's face strained from the memory...
"Leo!" Soul said - on his tiptoes - waving his hand in front of Leo. "Oy! Bushy eyebrows! Earth to Leo!"
The Bushy Eyebrows blinked. "Yeah?" He responded clearing away his "internal" conflicts.
"Um, if your ready to go see your... teammates," Soul asked him.
Leo sighed and nodded, "Yeah." He put his hands behind his head. "I guess I need to meet up with them."
"There's new kids?" Corona asked.
"Yeah," Soul said pointing at Leo, "This is Leo, and his partners are Hannah and..." The red eyed kid stared at Leo.
Leo just shrugged, "She doesn't think it's necessary for everyone to know about her personal life, but she likes to go by Devillia (Dev-eel-e-uh)."
Soul raised an eyebrow. Before he could respond all three turned there attention towards the screaming that sounded -to Soul's ears- like a green eyed bookworm.
Oh snap! Did you read that? If you did - or just skipped to the bottem of this page - Was it good? Who's POV would you like to see? What can I do better! Please tell me...or comment...what ever way you can do. I dont know if this counts as a cliff hanger...but I do hope you will continue reading on! XD
