This is a story of two children with the potential to become Konoha's greatest warriors. But, because of the ignorance and unjust hatred they may just become their worst nightmare come and see the story.
It has been half a year, since Naruto and Hinata's change.
Since, then there has been a mass of new prisoners entering Deadman Wonderland and it has been a more welcome change to the other prisoners, but there have been a lot more casualties because of an unknown sector of a prison as of late and it has started to unnerve almost everyone from those who only have to stay for a couple of years to life-termers.
However, the last person to be admitted into Deadman Wonderland, was Ganta, Ganta Igarashi. He has been here for a total of two months and the mentality of survival has already been pressed upon into his mind. He has been sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. Back, when he was still in the middle of his transitioning, from his normal mindset, well I'll let his old memories tell you.
He was strolling the hall and he had just gotten his candy back from Yo, from when he visited him in the medical room. He bumped into him, to which he thought was an accident and knocking all his stuff onto the floor and stole his candy. He may be a bit of a softie at times, but he did not take kindly to those who stole from him or crossed him.
However, Chief Makina got to him first. He suffered a sword slash to the chest, which left him bedridden. He doesn't feel a bit of pity for him, as he wasn't in the best of moods when they arrested him. Especially, if he got his hands on that weasel-faced bastard he was going to strangle him blue with his bare hands. Ganta, having his head down was heading towards his prison room, but a hand grabbed his left shoulder to which he slowly looked over.
He found he was looking into the wide red eyes of Shiro giving him her innocent smile. He relaxed and moved closer to her and had her walk next to him.
Ganta was looking troubled, but Shiro still covered in medical bindings doing her best in trying to cheer him up. As, he was about to enter his bedroom, a guard yelled out to him, "Number 5580! You are needed in the medical ward!"
Ganta, then turned around and headed towards the medical ward again, but avoided the patient side of the medical wing. When he arrived, he was briefed by the doctor again, who said she had forgotten to give him his shot that was standard regulation for all prisoners at Deadman Wonderland.
However, what he didn't know was that needle contained a liquid that would force a branch of sin to be exposed in prisoners to be sent into the G-ward and to be sent into the carnival corpse. But, he didn't need to know that, he would find that out sooner, rather than later.
She gave him his shot and shoo'd him off to do whatever he wanted. He retreated back into his prison room and laid down on his bed spread. He counted how much money he had from the beginning and decided to take a nap before he went on his job with the other prisoners. He closed his eyes and went to sleep for three hours and when he awoke he found Shiro by his bedside, napping as well.
He rubbed her head affectionately. He had the feeling he had known her from his childhood, but every time he would try to look back, all he could hear and remember was that stupid woodpecker lullaby. He shook his head and placed a blanket over her so she wouldn't get cold, then slipped out of room to get to his job.
After he left, Shiro opened her eyes. However, they weren't the simple shiny innocent red eyes, but a lazy, dim red almost like blood.
"The lullaby has stopped."
She got up, dropping Ganta's blanket in the process. "Ganta..."
She slowly walked out the door and shuffled towards the old man's room. He greeted her in his usual 'I want to fight and kill you' rant. However, he was as of little importance to her at the moment. She was walked to the middle of room, which contained her outfit, hoping Ganta would recognize her.
She grabbed her bloodstained gloves and red cape and placed them on her person. She then grabbed her mask and placed it over her face.
The old man sat in his chair across the room and ask her, "Shiro, won't you grant me my wish?"
"Kssshh!" Shiro smirked.
She then disappeared from the room and floated just below DW's clock tower.
She went looking for Ganta and recalled from earlier he had a job to do and soon saw him doing menial labor, but then saw something that made her blood boil.
The other prisoners were picking on him. She knew Ganta was a weakling, but he was a stubborn weakling. He wouldn't move, even it mess up his face and cracked his ribs. She was pulled out of her stroll of memory lane when her attention was returned to a fallen Ganta. The other prisoners were kicking and punching him. She could see a thick line of red falling from his face.
Which made her see red, she called forth her her branch of sin from her fingers and directed towards the top of the building wear the Deadman Wonderland sign was located to where it started to topple. The chains snapped and started to drop down to crush anything and anyone in this way. The explosion shocked everyone and they looked toward the sky and started to scream and run, including the prisoners that hurt Ganta, but Shiro couldn't have that could she?
She created a miniature tornado and had it destroy everything. It started to tear up the ground and some of buildings and including the prisoners. After letting it rampage for a while she called it quits. She hovered towards the ground and could see Ganta.
He was on the ground, bleeding and he looked like he couldn't get up as she hovered closer, it didn't look like he noticed her presence yet. She could see that he was covered with scratches and parts of his uniform was covered with blood.
But, Ganta did notice her. Not as Shiro, but as the Red Man. The one that caused him to here in this hellhole, the one that killed his friends.
"You bastard..."
"YOU BASTARD!" Ganta screamed out ignoring his sprained ankle and propelled himself to tackle him/her. She allow him to and they both crashed into the floor. She punched him to which he fell among the rubble and she looked slightly disappointed as she tilted her head to the side. But, what made her lose her lazy look just for a second was what looked like a red bullet was speeding towards her face which made her head snap backwards and she snickered.
By Shiro's account, Ganta has only been here for a total of two months and yet he close. She was close as well, she knew it was a good idea to get Ganta to be sent to Deadman Wonderland. She wanted her wish and dammit she was going to get it. She didn't care who she had to trample to get it completed.
She found herself looking at Ganta standing back up again. The blood from before was no longer there, just the stains on his uniform from his beating from before and the bruise on his face that was from her was darkening quickly. He had an angry look on his face and his hands were shoulder-level and smoking. She was confused for a moment until it dawn on her, she then smiled her smirk and she would have laughed if she hadn't lost that ability to.
She was about to engage him, then she heard the stupid lullaby pulling her back into her own mind. She tsked and frowned in annoyance and hovered off the ground and sped off to the old man's room. Over her shoulder, she could hear him screaming and spitting curses at her back. She smiled sadly, she would get her wish.
She arrived to the room and slowly took off her Aceman's outfit laying them on the table. She could've slept here, but she didn't want to be the presence of the old man any longer then she needed too. She went back to Ganta's room and wrapped herself in Ganta's blanket feeling his lingering warmth, just for a moment before kneeling on the floor and going to sleep. Not knowing when she will return to the land of consciousness.
Back to Ganta, when he was sure the Red Man wouldn't return, he collapsed. He fell to his knees and blacked out.
As, he went unconscious he was caught by a woman-shaped figure.
"Hmm~. He could be the one.."
Ending it! Ending it! Finally, I thought I would never get this chapter done. Yes, the scene of where Ganta meets the red man is different, I know. I mixed all the incidents together to make it interesting. Don't nag me, cause flames only add to the virtual fire I use to roast weenies on. Anyways, the time skip is for a reason. Ganta is a bit out of character, as he is more smarter and mentality of survival is more impressed on his mind. Plus, I wanted to write about Shiro's point of view about Ganta's battle. Like and review~ Wonder what should I write about next?
