Hey, everyone! I've been getting in a lot of computer time lately, so expect frequent updates for my stories. Let's begin.
I ran outside with my friends, and saw that a teenager in his late teens was being harassed by a gang. He had long gray hair, with blue beads in it. He wore an eyepatch, and his hair partially covered it.
One of the gang members shouted out, "You won't get the best of us this time, Anima punk!" Then they threw a net over him, and started to beat him. I watched in horror, until his arm transformed. It became hairy, and muscular. A bear +Anima? Maybe a wolf? I wasn't sure at all. I gazed in awe as he took on all five grunts. Only the leader was left, and I could sense his fear. He grabbed Husky, and raised his sword. "One more step, and this guy gets it!" he yelled threateningly. The teenager was nonplussed. He ran towards the leader, and was about to slash him to bits, until he fell backwards. I wondered what had caused it, but then I was that Cooro was overhead, with watermelons in tow.
"They're good! Want some more?" he said.
At that time, all of the gang members retreated, screaming "Black wings! That's bad luck! Run away!" Just then, a woman showed up, and said, "You still haven't taken this tiny village? Pitiful." A heated discussion started, but I didn't hear it, because I had to help get the teen some medical help. I took him back to the house that I had been at before, with the help of Cooro and Gina. Husky stayed behind to make sure that nothing important went unsaid or unheard.
At the house, I got to know the teenager. "So, what's your name?" I asked, in a friendly tone.
"...Senri..." was his reply. I could tell that he was a man of few words (or none at all), and very strong.
Later that day, it was decided that Gina, Husky, Cooro, and I would travel together, and, sadly, we had to leave Abon.
Once we were on the road, I asked, "So, what's with the bandages?"
They all seemed unsure of what to say, or how to say it, or even whether or not to tell me. "What's up? Just tell me. It can't be that bad."
Finally, Gina told me. "Well, when we got to Abon, you woke up, and started going berserk, slashing everything and anything that was near you. Senri came out and fought you, and you ended up with a head injury, sustaining some heavy damage, and unconscious. Some of Senri's blood got into your bloodstream, and now you have a bit of bear +Anima in you. We tried to contain it, but we were too late. We rushed you into the nearest home, and got you some medical attention, but you were still in grave danger. We tried to slow down Senri's blood from getting to your heart, so it is imperative that you keep your bandages on."
"Why do I absolutely need to keep them on?"
Gina took a deep breath, and said, "Because... Dog and Bear +Animas can't coexist in the same host. They're too close to the same thing. If Senri's blood gets to your heart, you could die."
My eyes got wide, as I tried to take this information in. I could die? No! "Is there anything that could be done?"
"No. I'm so sorry."
"Damn it! Well, I'm not giving up yet! I'm sure that there's someone or something somewhere that can save me. We better get going, if we want to keep me from dying."
"Right. Maybe Senri will come with us! I'm sure he would help us," Cooro suggested.
"I asked him already. He has other obligations," Husky said.
"Oh well. We'll just have to make do with what we've got," I said, determinedly. "Let's get going."
And so, we left town. On our way out, we saw Senri standing on a stump on the side of the road, and, after a few helpful words, he joined our group. Gina seemed really happy about it for some reason.
Will Cyrus be saved? Will there be intense friction between the members of our new group? Does Gina have a crush on Senri?
