Chaos
Chapter 3
"…Synth. Most people from my world where I went to school called me 'Sin'," Synth revealed to everyone standing before him.
Vincent spoke up before Synth could walk to his door, "I've heard that name before. Where did your parents get that name from?"
"They didn't, I did. They weren't going to give me a permanent name until my personality came out. 'Synth' was the first word I ever said, so it became my name. Now, go to bed," Synth said as he walked to his door.
"Uh, James, I mean Synth, can I please sleep in your room tonight," Tifa asked in front of everyone, hope clear on her face.
Synth turned towards Tifa sighing, "If you really want to." A smile spread across Tifa's face as everyone's jaws fell slack.
"WHA! You can't sleep in the same room as him," Kagome, Sango, and Cloud shouted at the same time. At this both Sephiroth and Sesshoumaru decided to go to bed before they got involved or asked awkward from the two young ones.
Shippo and Rin started asking everyone questions about why everyone was fussing over Tifa sleeping in Synth's room. All they got was, "When you're older," and awkward looks and nervous laughs. Miroku started to try to explain put Sango knocked him out before he said too much.
"You three just go to bed. I'm not that perverted, okay, I am, but I have honor. If anything happens it will be consensual from both sides," Synth reasoned.
Kagome, Sango, and Cloud shouted, "THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFRAID OF!"
"Damn. Don't I get a say in this," Tifa stated, "I'm an adult. I can make my own choices. If I want to sleep with him, I will." Synth turned away and started whistling.
Cloud looked down saying, "After what I saw, I don't think that's a good idea." Sango, Kagome, and Tifa all looked at Cloud.
Kagome and Sango stared at Synth when he said, "She's right, she is an adult and you can't stop her. But would it help if I gave you my word that I won't start anything. If anything happens, she'll start it anyways." An eerie smirk crossed Synth's face. "Go to bed," Synth and Tifa won the argument. With that everyone else strolled off to bed.
Sephiroth and Kagura were stuck sharing a room with a, "God dammit all!" Miroku and Shippo moved in with Nanaki and Vincent and Rin, Sango, and Kagome moved into Tifa's room.
After everyone was in their rooms and Tifa was settled in, Synth closed his door turning towards Tifa, he asked, "Why did you want to sleep in here?"
"I wanted to talk to you alone," Tifa answered spreading out on the over sized bed, "I want to understand you."
Synth sat on the edge of his bed, looking away from Tifa, " You can't understand the things I gave up, by choice, to keep it all locked away. Now you want to unlock the things I wish to forget."
Tifa came up behind Synth, wrapping her arms around his neck, being careful of his wings, she laid her head to the side, "Why don't you tell me and then I'll tell you if I understand or not." Tifa felt something wet land on her arm. She looked at Synth's face, a tear streak went down his cheek, "What's on your mind, tell me. I'll listen," Tifa moved her arms down to Synth's chest and laid her head on his shoulder.
"You think that'll fix everything I've done," Synth questioned more to himself then to Tifa. Synth turned his head toward Tifa, pain flaring in his eyes, "I gave up the chance of a lifetime," Synth looked down at the floor, "I gave her up. I wanted to stop all of it, to give her a chance at a life without pain." Synth looked back at Tifa, a blue crescent formed on the outside of his right eye.
"I won't lie, I don't understand all of it but I think I know how she feels," Tifa tried to comfort Synth, "She probably feels useless and deserves to die, but that's only what I think."
"It isn't her that deserves to die, I'm the one that should be in a coffin," Synth closed his hand into a fist.
Tifa pulled on him tighter, "Neither of you are in a coffin. You still have a chance at a life together. Don't let the past stop you."
Synth stretched out his wings, falling back, forcing Tifa back as well. Synth's head lay between Tifa's breasts, their hair flowed everywhere. Tifa's nightgown rose up past her belly button. "I've already explained everything to her incase of that," Synth laid his arms on his wings, feeling Tifa breathe.
Tifa brought her hands up to his chest, "You're surprisingly light," she pulled Synth up until his head hung off her shoulder, her nightgown came up a little more with him. Synth closed his eyes. Tifa brought her hand across her and rubbed her thumb on his cheek. "You can't replace her like I can't replace Aerith," Tifa attempted to explain her feelings.
Synth flipped over to say, "I've known this for quite some time. Since the day I met her, I knew she was one of a kind."
"Then why did you leave her," Tifa questioned.
"I nearly killed someone and everyone knew I would've killed him if I wasn't stopped. The only thing that happened to me was that I had to move in with someone else because my parents couldn't control me and they thought that my teacher could. From there I watched her pain and decided to end any relationship with her. I did it in front of my entire school. The words that came from her mouth sealed it. Everyone left her alone after that and my voice disappeared. They all stayed away in fear of what I could do to them," explained Synth opening his eyes, the blue crescent gone.
Tifa still pinned asked, "Then why are you talking now?"
"New place, new beginnings I guess," Synth compromised. Synth slid his body off of Tifa a bit, putting his head level with hers. Synth said, "You do know that it won't be much longer before I have to go back, right?"
"Really, why," Tifa asked.
"I have to beat those bastards before they open the gate to the final world. The gate will only open when my world's gem is added to the rest," Synth explained moving slightly closer to Tifa, her nightgown completely ineffective now that it was up past the bottom of her breasts.
"Gem, what gem," questioned Tifa.
Synth put his forehead to hers and wrapped his arms around Tifa, pulling her close. "I'll explain that later," tears formed in his eyes. Tifa leaned close and put her lips to his. Synth wondered to himself, 'Is this really happening? Am I really telling her everything I can manage?' Synth's hands had wandered to Tifa's underwear and were pulling them down, 'Why don't I feel the least bit guilty about doing this?' Before Synth knew what he was doing, Tifa was on top of him completely unclothed. It had reached a point where Synth couldn't stop. He was harder then stone and he wasn't taking no cold shower. Tifa pulled his pants off very efficiently and his stiff member stood at full attention.
Synth flipped himself on top of Tifa in one smooth motion. He kissed Tifa hard. When he broke off she grinned at him. With a smirk Synth grabbed one of Tifa's breasts and rubbed the tip of the nipple with his thumb. Synth kissed Tifa again and then on her cheek. Next he kissed her neck and then moved to her collarbone. He kissed just above between her breasts removing his hand. He kissed the side of her right breast, moving closer to her nipple. Tifa wanted it and Synth could tell by the way she bit her lower lip as he licked her nipple. He sucked on her nipple a little and then switched to the other breast. Synth kissed in between her breasts and moved lower and lower until he reached just above her awaiting flower. He played around by kissing ever slowly moving closer and closer to her clit. Tifa was agitated by Synth's playing but it felt almost as good as Aerith's touch so she couldn't help giving off a slight moan when he finally kissed her lower lips. She let another moan escape as she felt him slip his tongue into her clit. He wasted no time finding the spot to make her moan. Tifa let a louder moan slip past her lips.
Synth decided to end that bit there and got above Tifa. He kissed Tifa softly and she flipped him on his back before they broke apart. She sat straight up and positioned herself right above him. He felt his member slide into Tifa in a smooth motion. She started moving body up and down with a slight motion back and forth added in. Synth grabbed her waist as she continued to move faster and faster her moans growing louder slowly. Tifa was ramming herself down hard onto Synth's stiff pole. Tears formed in her eyes as she continued to move faster and harder. A loud moan escaped from Tifa's throat as she finally came and at the same time Synth came as well. Sweat rolled down their bodies as Tifa got off of Synth's member lying down on top of him kissing him softly, "I started this but it stays between us, right?" Synth just nodded in agreement. Tifa laid her head on Synth's shoulder closing her eyes.
Synth spoke the words that came to his mind at that point, "I miss her, really I do. I haven't stopped thinking about her since that day. My mind has been going crazy. The only thing that I've been able to grasp is her but just now my body acted off of impulse. I don't regret doing it though," tears flowed freely from his eyes. Tifa's eyes flew wide open; she knew this was one of the true sides of Synth, a side that only a select few ever had a glimpse of. The side only one other person ever truly saw.
When Synth started to clam down a bit he said, "Surprised, even a rock can crack. When it starts, it can't stop. I…finally…started…to…crack," he fell to sleep when he finished his sentence. Tifa slid out of his arms and put her nightgown and underwear back on. She smiled as she saw tears still flowing from his eyes. She kissed him one more time and slid the covers over top of them both. Tifa laid her head on his chest and soon fell to sleep.
When Tifa awoke, the door to Synth's bathroom was open. The sound of the shower running help clear some of the grogginess. The last night flooded back into Tifa's mind. Her hips were so sore she really didn't want to move them or go into the bathroom while Synth was taking a shower but she couldn't hold her bladder that long. Tifa rushed into the bathroom, stopping dead. Synth had just got out of the shower turning the water off. He slid a towel around his waist as Tifa came into the bathroom. "Sorry, sorry," Tifa bowed slightly amazed at how Synth looked. His hair hung straight down and water slid down his muscles.
Synth walked past Tifa saying, "I'm done." He left the bathroom letting Tifa have her privacy. He walked into his closet to find some clothes.
When Tifa came out of the bathroom still sore as hell but hiding it very well, she looked for Synth. Tifa saw something on his desk, detouring from her search she sat at his desk. She picked the object up, it was a picture. There was a boy with short brown hair and green eyes wearing red shorts and a girl hugging him around the waist with long, light blue hair and crimson eyes wearing a white bikini. Tifa read the caption aloud to herself, "Ami and Synth, age: 15, Cancun."
"Guess you found the only thing I keep from my world," Synth spoke walking up behind Tifa. Tifa started to say, "I'm sorry, it was…," but stopped when she saw what he was wearing. He wore a white T-shirt, a gold, spiral armlet on his right arm, his hair pulled back and held by a gold ring, a sapphire earring, white tennis shoes, and white, trick pants. "Wow, you look, well, different," Tifa stated.
Synth asked, "What you think I only wear black?"
"No, I just never thought of you as a person that would wear white," Tifa answered. She then asked, "Is this the girl you love?"
Synth grabbed the picture and looked at it saying, "Yes. Just think, this was taken one year ago today. This and my memories drive me insane yet they stop me from losing control."
"WHAT! Oh my god, you're only 16," Tifa asked shocked by what he had just said.
Synth explained, "Yeah, as I was in my world. Since my first transformation I have become this. I always acted older, like if I was 25. I excelled in school but refused the chances to advance to a higher grade because of her. Hell, I could be in the last years of college to be a doctor. She is the popular type but she isn't snotty to anybody but the bullies. I was the genius that no one but the teachers noticed except for her. Mind you she is smart but compared to me she wasn't that smart."
"She really must have meant a lot to you," Tifa said with a tear in her eye.
"It's a lot like you and Aerith, love forbidden in the eyes of others but can't be helped. It is what it is and nothing can change that," Synth said laying the picture down. Synth looked at Tifa, "Are you going to take a shower and get dressed?"
"Oh, yeah," Tifa grabbed her clothes off of Synth's bed, "Damn, I forgot my underwear."
"Did you really," asked Synth falling on his bed.
Tifa pleaded, "Well, I was in a rush."
Synth opened the drawer in his nightstand, pulling out a black bag. "Here. This bag can generate any type of clothing you wish for," Synth said tossing the bag to Tifa.
"Thanks," Tifa said heading to the bathroom.
About thirty minutes later Tifa came out of the bathroom. Synth was sitting on his bed with a book in front of his face. "Ready now," questioned Synth.
"Yeah, why," Tifa looked at Synth as closed his book, a smirk on his face. Tifa took a step back, "What are you planning in that warped mind of yours?"
Synth hopped out of his bed walking over to Tifa. He walked behind her. Tifa got chills when he ran his hands up her sides softly. Even through her clothes she felt the smooth movement of his hands. "Ah, you choose to wear a thong," Synth said reaching Tifa's shoulders.
"How could you tell," Tifa asked grabbing Synth's hands.
"It was pretty easy," Synth pulled her close to his body.
Tifa asked, "Last night stays between us, right? It held no real meaning except to state that we miss the one that we love."
"Yes, it stays between us. No need for them to know," Synth reassured her. "Now lets go, I need to explain a lot of things to you guys," Synth let go of Tifa.
As they walked out of Synth's room Tifa couldn't help but say, "I know this isn't gonna end well." She was right.
"What were you two doing last night to get up so…OH MY GOD! Synth is wearing white," Kagome said as soon as Tifa and Synth walked into the room.
"What! Synth, wearing white? Holy shit," Cloud said poking his head out through his door way.
"That's what I said when I saw him this morning," Tifa stated.
"Man, you stereotyped me that quickly," Synth shook his head.
"Well what do you expect we'd do, call you a saint," Sephiroth chimed in.
"Whatever just gather everyone in the kitchen. There's something you need to know," Synth said heading towards the kitchen.
Sango came up beside Tifa asking, "What's this all about? Is he gonna tell us his past or what?"
Tifa answered the only way she could, "I have no damn idea cause he didn't even tell me. And he has something planned after that whatever it may be."
About ten minutes later everyone was gathered in the kitchen. They were waiting for what he had to say. Most were hoping he would tell them his past. All of them were in normal street clothes of different colors. "Alright, let's begin by saying some of the stuff you're about to hear my disturb you or you may find unrealistic. So please try to keep an open mind," Synth began.
"Are you going to tell us about your past," asked Miroku.
"Most likely not, it's probably something to drive us insane," said Cloud.
Synth continued, "To answer the question, no. But this may make you think twice about anything. Long before the existence of time or space or anything for that matter the only that exists now as it did then was alone. This thing was energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be focused. Even energy followed the balanced scale. So over time energy focused itself on two points. This made two beings and as more and more energy went into their bodies they became intelligent. They held humanoid forms but had no gender or race. These two beings were Creation and Destruction, their true names long since lost."
"So you're telling us that all the things we've been taught about religion are just lies," Miroku said questioning what he had just heard.
Synth let out a sigh and replied, "It would explain these memories but you believe what you want to believe. I cannot force you to believe this. Also it explains how I can use magic and bend fragile time and space." Nobody said anything. Satisfied Synth continued, "Even back then balance was a must. The names of the two beings talk for themselves. Because of their disagreement about making life they separated far away from one another. Creation decided that he could not maintain this part of existence alone. This was because of his ideals. He wanted to create life that could reproduce if necessary, basically gender. He decided to separate himself into several beings and to use a little bit of energy to mass together what was left of his body to create a place for the beings to live and give them a source of warmth, a star. He choose seven ideas to base the beings off of. Chaos was his first ideal being but his last to be formed. He created them in this order, Love, Hate, Fate, Death, Life, Divine, then Chaos."
"So what does this have to do with the gems," Tifa questioned.
Sesshoumaru asked, "What gems?"
"I'm getting to that, just be patient. When Chaos was being formed, Destruction forced some of his own energy equal to that of the energy from Creation. When this happened, a second form came into existence within him. Destruction stayed far from them for a long time to come. Upon the creation of what came to be known as the Lords, the ideals of Creation of gender and sex were passed on to them. Creation then took what was left and formed the first star and planet with an enormous explosion. The Lords were given genders, Love, Fate, Life, and Divine were woman and Hate, Death, and Chaos were males. Each was an opposite, Love and Hate, Life and Death, Divine and Chaos, and Fate turned in on it's self. In order for existence to work a balance had to be maintained. Each Lord created 30 beings underneath them, 15 gods and 15 goddesses. They each made an organism to live, learn, and evolve on the new planet. They played a small role in how they grew but they were still known. As they watched, they decided to expand existence. As they did, violence began between the species that were created. The beings that began this were forged by Destruction so later he could reabsorb their energy and end existence. To stop this from happening the Lords took forms to live among them. They didn't mind the violence but the rate it was spreading was too fast. Love became an angel, Death turned into a vampire, Hate choose to be a druid, Fate formed into a dragani, Divine mixed life and technology and became a cyborg, Life was an elf, and Chaos choose to be the darkest being to exist, a demon.
"Okay, that's a weird thing to do. If they had so much power, why didn't they just stop the fighting," questioned Sango.
Synth answered, "Balance must be maintained without celestial help. Even Destruction knew this when he created his beings. They taught people how to fight, to create balance at first but then to destroy existence. The power of Destruction within Chaos didn't help any. While walking among the people, the Lords started to develop the feelings the people felt. Stuff like love hit the best with them. Death lived his life off his lust. Hate and Divine were married. Fate and Life shared each others warmth."
"Weren't they both women," said Inuyasha.
Cloud looked towards Tifa, "What's the problem with that as long as they loved each other?" Tifa looked up at Cloud.
"None. There is nothing wrong with it but others may think differently," Synth replied.
Tifa stood, "If a person has a problem with two women, or men for that matter, in love, then they have a problem with me! I'm in love with another woman!"
"Damn, it's about time you said it," Vincent said.
"Yeah, we all knew, well except Cloud," Nanaki stated.
Cloud remarked, "I kinda figured but I found out for sure the hard way. It was the same morning as when these two damn near had sex on the couch."
"WHAT THE HELL," exclaimed everyone else.
"Almost, I was in denial about the way I felt about Aerith and the way Synth was acting threw me off guard," everyone gave Tifa accusing looks. Tifa exclaimed, "NOTHING HAPPENED and last night all we did was talk about our pasts!"
"Prove it," Hiei said.
"Okay, back in the world he came from, he is only 16," explained Tifa.
"No way," Sephiroth replied.
Inuyasha spoke up, "Makes a lot of sense with the way he arrived here."
Kagome asked, "What else did he tell you?"
Synth put his hand over Tifa's mouth, "Okay, lets stop before the rest of my known past slips out," he exclaimed. Synth's eye was twitching. Synth continued, "The relationship that no one thought was possible was between Love and Chaos. They were inseparable for too long. Love knew of what was within Chaos pushing him towards Destruction. Evil was slowly taking over him. With this in play, Destruction played his hand, a war to end existence started. When the ended, existence continued but not without something to balance it. In the final battle, Chaos tried to end the battle with words. The people had lost all sense of rationality. To end it Chaos had to fight them all. This caused him to cross the line. He went completely insane. His eyes turned blood red as the blood of the people sprayed onto the battlefield. Love watched this in horror. When she finally tried to stop Chaos, her blood stained his hands. When her blood fell on his hands, he returned to his natural state. For the first time ever, he cried, the power from his raw emotions at that time split the worlds into seven different, equal sized realms. This made it so Destruction would almost never be able to end existence. Also, seven gems were created so that if the realms could ever be merged, they could."
"What, hold on. You mean if any one person collected all seven gems, they could remerge all the realms," asked Kagura.
"Yes, but only those powerful enough to hold them. Only eight beings were strong enough to hold them, the Lords and Destruction," answered Synth.
Hiei committed, "Why create something that could destroy you?"
"Repercussions of existence. Now let me finish. Each Lord took order over a single realm. The realm where Love died, Chaos built a temple to her and laid her to rest in the center. Chaos then went to his own realm where Destruction awaited him. Chaos drew his sword against Destruction but was no match for Destruction. With the last of his power, Chaos forged the gems into the spirits of the Lords. The Lords then let their spirits leave their bodies and inhabit others, keeping their existence within others a secret. This would make the search for the gems much harder. Oh, before I forget, each Lord controlled an element. Love was Light, Death held Darkness, Hate with Earth, Fate ruled Air, Life worked with Water, and Divine had Fire," finished Synth.
Miroku asked, "What of Chaos? What was his element?"
"A mixture. He was the last but he was the strongest," Synth answered. Synth explained, "This was called Omni. It is the same I work with but I was born in the realm of Love."
Nanaki questioned, "Then you should work with light, right?"
"Not necessarily," Synth answered.
"Tell us, what realms do we call home," asked Sango.
Synth replied to the request, "You come from the realm of Hate. Hiei, you are deprived from the realm of Death. Tifa came from the realm of Fate, but Aerith did not, she came from the realm of Life."
Tifa asked, "How's that?"
Synth said, "When she was very young, her mother slipped through a rift in the realms, as she had done many times before." Synth turned around saying, "Looks like we got more travelers from the realm of Death."
"More people from my world," Hiei said standing up.
"Yeah, we heard everything thanks to the pacifier face," said a guy wearing a ripped yellow shirt and gray sweatpants, "He caught me in the middle of training. I guess this is a big problem for Koenma for him to come get all of us."
"Yuske, why did we have to come along," asked a girl in a school uniform similar to Kagome's.
A girl wearing a white robe answered, "You heard what happened to Kazuma, Keiko."
"What happened to that idiot, Yukina," questioned Hiei.
A man with red hair and a horn floated next to Hiei, "'E 'ad 'is 'ead popped rig't off, t'at 'e did."
"That's putting it softly Jin," said a blue haired girl.
Sephiroth asked, "You understood what he just said?"
They nodded their heads, "Yeah." Sephiroth shook his head slightly.
A guy with long red hair sat down, "Botan's right. He had his skin peeled off and those veil creatures ate what was left."
"The beings of Destruction, a deadly group. I'm not surprised Kurama," Synth stated. He also added, "Protect your minds so I can't read them. I got a headache when it first started."
The new group of people just stared at Synth. "Yeah, I forgot to mention that," Koenma appeared in the room.
"Okay, that's enough sad talk, I want to have some fun," everyone looked at Synth when he said that. Synth stated, "What, even I know how to have fun. You don't live without finding something you can call fun."
"How exactly do you plan on doing that," asked Kurama.
A smirk came across Synth's face. He stepped back from everyone and held up his hand, "Rift Sword." A long sword formed in his hand with spell markings running up and down the entire blade. He raised the sword above his head, "Divine Realm, Zoen Beach," he swung the blade down behind him. A red line followed the path of the blade; it opened up into a large portal with a beach and an ocean on the other side.
"Wow, how in the hell did you do that," asked Vincent.
"As I've been changing, memories have been flooding into my mind. Some of which don't belong to me directly," answered Synth, turning towards the portal. Synth said, "With or without you I'm going. I have to go anyways, Destruction is there.
"I'm going," said Tifa walking up next to Synth. Tifa smirked, "Especially after last night. You made me cry and I'm still a little bit sore."
"WHAT," screamed all most everyone.
Cloud stuttered, "Y-You s-sa-said th-tha-that n-noth-nothing ha-happened la-last ni-night."
"That's what you think," Tifa said running through the portal.
Synth could feel Kagome's and Sango's eyes land on him as a sweat drop formed on the back of his head. "Um, wait up," said Synth running after Tifa.
"Screw this damn place, I'm going," said Inuyasha jumping through the portal. Everyone then decided to follow behind Inuyasha.
"Whoa," proclaimed Miroku.
The smell of the ocean filled the air as the group came up on Tifa and Synth arguing. Synth stopped talking and walked off before the group got close enough to hear what they were saying. Kagome ran up to Tifa, "What's his problem?"
"I promised I wouldn't tell," answered Tifa sighing. They heard a snap off in the distance. The guys were suddenly wearing swim trunks and the girls were wearing two-piece bikinis.
Synth came back wearing red shorts and a black and white surf shirt holding a surf broad. Everyone stared. "What," said Synth irritated.
"You, shorts. I never would've believed," joked Nanaki.
"Yeah, yeah," Synth walked down to the water and started swimming out. Nanaki and Yukina sat down to just talk about whatever but the main topic was the loss of someone important to them. Sephiroth, Kagura, and Sesshoumaru just sat on the beach. Kagura tried her best at hiding her body. The rest went to play in the water.
"Damn. The water feels nice," said Yuske.
"Yeah," Keiko splashed Yuske. Yuske splashed her back. Everyone else joined in except Koenma, Hiei, and Vincent who swam laps and Inuyasha just floated in the water. Sesshoumaru fell asleep due to the fact he hadn't slept in the last 15 days.
After about 30 minutes, Synth came in and set up a volley ball net leaving the ball next to the pole. He started a fire with a snap of his fingers and materialized a large cooler of food and drink. Synth went back out to the water. The girls came up on the beach and decided to bury Sesshoumaru in the sand. He slept through the whole thing. The girls then played volleyball and even managed to convince Kagura to play. It was Keiko, Kagome, and Kagura versus Botan, Sango, and Tifa.
All the guys except for Sephiroth and Synth turned their attention to the girls. "Damn," gulped Miroku sinking deeper in the water.
"I hope it doesn't get violent. I'd hate to get caught in the middle," stated Cloud.
Rin and Shippo started building a sand castle on top of Sesshoumaru. "You sure we won't get in trouble," asked Shippo.
Rin answered, "Yes. He won't touch me."
About an hour later everyone got a little tired and sat around the fire. There was still light so Synth stayed out in the water. Sesshoumaru woke up making the sand fly all over. He sat next to Rin and left it alone. He knew it was his fault for falling asleep.
None of them knew Synth was watching them, seeing them so close together, having someone to be happy with. Or even be in pain with. Something was building up inside of him, something he had never felt.
It was about two weeks before the school dance. Everyone was rushing to find a date except Synth and Ami. He was sad having to watch people finding someone to be with when the person of his desire was far from his reach. His eyes stayed cold and his voice was nothing. Everyone feared his eyes except Ami, even the people that lived with him strayed away from his eyes. Most swore that they saw their deaths in his eyes if they stared him straight in the eyes. As the others found someone to be with, the more he longed for her. She longed for him as well. Neither wanted them to be a replay of Romeo and Juliet. He kept his distance for her safety. He felt that the only thing left for him to do was die. Ami tried every chance she got to be alone with Synth and everyone knew it. It was even harder as all the guys herded around her asking her to the dance. She always turned them all down. One of the girls that were jealous of her didn't know the whole story and tried to ask Synth to go with her but she only decided to never try that again. His stare was 100 degrees below zero. That's when everything changed. A new kid arrived the Friday of the week before the last week before the dance.
He was as lonely as he was back then. This triggered pain throughout his whole body. Instead of a scream, a roar escaped his throat.
Everyone heard the roar from where Synth was. He was hanging in the air. Blood sprayed from his body as black, leather wings erupted from his old wings. The skin on his body ripped itself off revealing black scales. His eyes turned gold and went reptilian. His body grew, hands and feet became claws, teeth sharpened, and his neck lengthened. A tail sprouted and his skull structure changed. A red, seven-pointed star etched itself on top of his head. He had become a dragon. He flew over top of the beach.
Synth's new wings became white and his body returned to its normal shape. His wings became feather, his eyes turned blue, his hair became a fade style and silver, and black markings drew themselves down his arms. He was now an angel. He landed on the beach a short distance from the horrified and wondering group.
A scream sounded over the beach as the wings pulled themselves back into his body, his eyes turned green, his hair lengthened to his shoulders and became brown, and all of the tattoos and scars disappeared. Synth stayed the same height though. He had reverted back into his human form. He stood as everyone rushed over. When they got close, he fell backwards into Tifa's arms. Nobody knew how she got over there that fast. Blood pushed itself from his body onto Tifa and the ground. "GOD, WE'VE GOT TO HELP HIM," screamed Tifa.
"I'll…be…fine. Relax," said Synth barely conscious.
"Wow, I've never seen anyone that could do that. That was amazing. How'd you do that," a woman walked up to Tifa and Synth wearing red bikini.
Synth looked up at Tifa, "I can sit up on my own. You go wash that blood off."
Tifa let Synth fall on the ground, "Whatever," she walked to the water.
Synth sat up slowly, "Now, who might you be," Synth asked turning towards the pink haired, blue eyed woman.
"Oops, my mistake. My name is Nara, nice to meet you," Nara bowed with her greeting.
Synth bowed what little he could, "The name's Synth."
"Well now, I've heard of you," said Nara.
"Really. How's that," questioned Synth.
Nara answered, "From these ugly creatures, the likes of which I've never seen before. They had deep red eyes with weird symbols on their bodies. They're ready to pay a high price for your head."
"So they've found me," laughed Synth.
"Why in the hell are you laughing? They want you dead, this is not a laughing matter," argued Nara.
Synth right arm pulsed and he grabbed it looking very serious. "Damn, they're closer then I thought," he held up his hand, "Rift Sword, return." Once again the sword formed in his hand and with a swing a portal formed back to where they came from. Synth looked at Nara, "You're going too."
Nara looked at Synth, "You're crazy."
"If you want to live, GO," screamed Synth.
"Don't gotta tell us twice," Keiko and Kagome said. They started through the portal as the first soldier came over the hill. Just Tifa, Nara, and Synth stood out side the portal when more soldiers came over the hill.
Tifa started towards the portal but stopped and turned, "Synth, come on. We've got to go."
"She's right, you know," agreed Nara.
"I'm not going back," said Synth turning towards the approaching enemy.
Tifa grabbed Synth's arm, "Come on." Synth turned to Tifa, his eyes once again darker then the shadows. "If you're going to fight, then I'm going to fight with you," said Tifa letting go of his arm.
Synth grabbed both saying, "I'm going back to my world for a while after this."
"What, you can't do that," Tifa fought against Synth.
"A good friend of yours will be returning soon. I don't think you want to disappoint her," said Synth stopping in front of the portal. Tifa's eyes went wide as Synth threw both, Tifa and Nara, through the portal.
Synth turned his attention to the platoon of soldiers coming towards him as the portal closed. A smirk crossed Synth's lips, "So, I heard you were looking for me." The blood stopped flowing out of his body.
"What is you're name peasant," asked what Synth could tell was the commander.
"I'm no peasant," a black fire encircled Synth. The voice that came from behind the fire was tented with evil, "I'm you're target." The fire broke down from around Synth, he stood in his demonic form without his wings. The Dragon Blade was held in his hand. Synth removed his sunglasses, "Didn't you want my head."
"Quite right. Hope you're ready to die," said the commander drawing his ax. The other officers surrounded Synth and drew multitudes of other weaponry. His hate for these creatures filled his body.
The new kid was instantly attracted to Ami. The whole week before the dance, the new kid followed her, forcing her to talk to him. Synth watched his actions closely without giving away he watched everything. He bragged about how at his last school he was a prize to be had. When he said he could get Ami to go with him, the others around him told him about what Synth did. He cracked jokes about Synth with Synth sitting a few feet away. No one laughed at his jokes. Finally he choose to try to get Synth to talk and prove he wasn't scared to look in his eyes. Synth stayed silent but his eyes got a lot colder when he tried. The kid decided not to try that again because he fainted from a panic attack. Friday, after third block had just started, he caught Ami off guard in an almost deserted hallway. Only five other people were in the hallway and one of them knew the feelings her and Synth had for each other. The kid asked her to the dance and when she refused, he smacked her. The one that knew about Synth and Ami knew Synth was in a nearby classroom. He rushed into the room where Synth sat reading a book. He said what he had seen looking directly at Synth who was paying close attention. When he stood, the entire class was shocked. Synth nodded at the kid and followed him. When they reached the hallway, the new kid slapped Ami again calling her a bitch. In less then a second, the kid was held up by Synth and hanging over the side of the stairs. The kid was already scared but he pissed his pants when Synth said, "You ever do anything like that again, I'll rip out your goddamn throat." Synth's arm pulsed and he threw the kid behind him. The kid went head first through a locker and broke the wall behind it. Synth grabbed his arm and turned to Ami. Ami was surprised yet happy at what she saw. The others rushed to the kid and everyone came out into the hall. They watched as Synth jumped down four stories, when he landed he demolished the floor at the bottom. When Ami looked over the side, Synth looked up. He then ran off into hiding until Koenma summoned him.
Seven bands of black light spiraled around Synth. A force pushed out from Synth's body. The bands where cut and the force stopped. The platoon started to rethink their attack. His eyes were filled with a demented intent, "What, scared. Fearing death isn't a good idea. Destruction will just respawn you."
"Back down commander, he's mine," a being landed next to the commander.
The commander signaled his troops to back down. This creature was bigger and not as ugly. The commander said, "He's all yours Mu, sir."
Synth cracked his neck, "Ah, you must be one of the eight generals."
"You know your history kid. It is to be expected as you know who really are by now," Mu said turning his armor blue.
"I am me and nobody else. My life is my own. I do not give in to the Lord of Chaos," Synth said taking his stance.
Mu looked deep at Synth, "You are yet you are not him. You look alike yet your minds are far apart. Your hearts beat the same but the blood has changed. Turning your back on your master."
Synth charged at Mu. Mu used his staff to block Synth's blade, "I have no master. I cannot be controlled." Synth put his free hand on the back of his blade, "Revibe." An explosion from Synth's blade sent Mu back. Synth charged again. Blade met staff several more times before Synth brought his foot up. Mu used the end of his staff to move Synth's foot back. When Mu did that, Synth flipped back and put his other foot hard into Mu's skull.
Mu dropped to his knees, "Damn, what is this power?"
Synth put his hand on Mu's forehead, "Only the Beginning and the End can come close to my power." 'Life' and 'Water' glowed on Synth's left arm. The color of Mu's armor disappeared and Mu fell over lifeless. Synth's eyes flashed a different color, "Your death is now." Synth vanished and when he reappeared, only the commander was standing. His troops were mutilated, their organs lay in piles next to their skinless forms. Most of their blood covered Synth. The commander was frozen in fear and it was apparent. Synth placed his hand on the commander's head, "Revibe," the commander's head exploded, his blood joined with his troops. His eyes lay to the side, fear still showing as plain as day. Synth picked them up and crushed them in his palm.
"Why," screamed Tifa trying to get back through the portal before it closed but she was too late.
"Relax, he'll be alright. He is a very strong being, what ever he may be," a woman said behind them.
Tifa turned, "Aerith!" Tifa pounced on Aerith. "Are you sure," asked Tifa.
Aerith wore a blue dress, a blue, spaghetti shirt, a blue ribbon in her hair, a blue collar, and bracelets on both wrists. "Yeah. He has become so much stronger then before," Aerith explained.
"How can you tell," questioned Tifa sitting up.
Aerith sat up raising her hand, "This is how." A staff formed in her, markings running up and down it. "And this," Aerith pointed to the gem in her right bracelet with the 'Sign of Life' in it.
"How are you able to do that," asked Cloud brought back from his shock at seeing Aerith alive.
Aerith stood, "I'm the Lord of Life."
"Wha," everyone looked wide at Aerith.
"At least four other Lords are standing in this room. The only reason why I can be 'Life' is that I was born in the Life Realm," Aerith explained.
"From another world or not, you're still mine," Tifa grabbed Aerith from behind. Tifa pulled Aerith back and leaned forward kissing her lover.
Miroku, Kurama, and Yuske saw this and left the room, Hiei not far behind. "W'at's t'eir problem," asked Jin looking down. "O'," Jin folded his legs and floated into the other room.
Keiko shook her head. "These boys got problems," stated Kagome.
Shippo pulled on Sango's sleeve, "Why are those two kissing?"
"Um, uh. Lets just say that when you love somebody, you want to express it," Sango attempted to explain.
Aerith looked at Shippo, "Yes, Tifa and I are in love, very much so."
"What are we going to do about Synth? I don't think he's coming back any time soon," said Vincent.
"He has some unfinished business to take care of," Tifa said.
"So you two really only talked," stated Keiko.
"Yes they did only talk. I was dead till about 30 minutes ago, so I saw everything. Her gown even came up past her breasts," Aerith defended her love.
"Okay, what does this have to do with me," asked Nara.
Sesshoumaru stated, "If Synth brought you here, you must have something he wants."
"Could be a Lord. For some reason he can sense beings of both Creation and Destruction. Lords can only sense Destruction," Aerith explained.
"But what do we do now," questioned Nanaki planning something for himself.
"Aerith could let me go back to my world," said Nara.
"Sorry but I can't," replied Aerith
"Why not," Nara started to fume.
Aerith answered, "Because only Synth understands the composition of the realms. That makes him the only true rifter. He rips his own holes in space but everyone else finds hole already existing but have no idea where they lead."
"Well, if I'm stuck here, I might as well have some fun," Nara looked over at Sesshoumaru and everyone but him saw it. A chill ran down his spine.
Tifa smiled, "Sesshoumaru, what was that nickname Synth gave you. Oh yeah, Fluffy."
Nara sat next to Sesshoumaru and poked him, "Hey, Fluffy." A vein popped out of Sesshoumaru's forehead.
"Have fun my friends while you still can. It won't be too long before it all ends," Synth crushed the orb he held in his hand. Synth raised the Rift Sword, "Home." Synth walked through the portal, it closing behind him.
The Dragon Blade is similar to Sephiroth's sword.
