Somewhere
in Japan
With Inu-tachi
December 16th, 1564
Two dual-colored eyes were gazed over... perhaps in pain-
"Blargh!"
"Ugh! Goddammit, not again!" Inuyasha yelped.
Yup. Definitely in pain.
"Kazuma, hold on!" a panicked, youthful female voice rang out.
It had been at least hours since he had his bloody (and near fatal) seizure. The poor guy was struggling to walk, let alone stand. He completely refused any help from the others and was supporting himself with just his sword. What was worst was that he bled from his cracked sternum and didn't seem to notice or care. He once again shrugged Kagome's hand away from him.
"Don't you care Kazuma? You're bleeding!"
The inuyoukai stubbornly shook his head and futilely tried to wipe away his tears of sorrow. He stumbled, fell, picked himself up, and walked mindlessly again. This had gone on for some time and was definitely killing Kazuma slowly.
Kagome ran up the youkai and gently placed a hand on his shoulder. Inuyasha growled but Miroku held the stubborn man back, seeing wisely that Kazuma only trusted (well...sorta) Kagome.
Kazuma stopped and peeked at the schoolgirl timidly, face stained with salty tears. "Onegai, Kazuma..." The mentioned youkai moaned heavily and his knees buckled out from underneath him. He unceremoniously dropped to the ground on his knees, loosely grasping his sword. It looked he was some hero swordsman who had fallen defending what he loved most. Only this time, his loved ones were all gone. Nothing was left...
His tongue lolled out and his cheeks were flushed like in all those sick rape doujins Kagome hated so much...
"Kazuma, please. We may not know you but we care about you." The youkwe stood silent, still panting. He forcefully swallowed his own saliva and promptly resumed panting. "Please don't give up. Your not alone." Kim immediately stopped his dull activity and chuckled darkly, smiling creepily.
"So what? I let down my guard and you all kill me? Rape my dead body afterwards probably?"
Kagome just stared in shock at what he just said, the fact he chuckled and smiled like a manic didn't help either.
"How could you say that?!"
The demon instantly flinched in fear at the outburst and shivered, whether from the bitter cold or overwhelming insanity, she didn't know. The schoolgirl took a peep at his face and saw Kazuma's eyes were shut tight, his breathing hitched. He was obviously scared of something... but what?
"I'm...I'm sorry Kazuma. It's just that...I can't imagine anyone saying that."
Kazuma stared into coffee coloured eyes and glanced back at the ground again.
"Good. Promise me you'll never do that again." Kim looked at the Japanese schoolgirl with dull glazed over eyes and frowned. Nodded once. Kagome smiled at the Korean boy and snaked an arm over his shoulders. "Let's get up." The schoolgirl and young demon tried to stand but the half-Japanese fell back down.
"Doushita?"
Kazuma pointed to his leg and made a "breaking a stick" gesture.
Kagome facefaulted. "Please tell me you're joking, Kazuma." The mentioned demon tried to stand up but a loud crack issued from nowhere. He hissed in pain as his right leg collapsed, rendering him incapacitated.
"Ah shit! Not again!!!" Inuyasha screamed.
Busan, Korea
In an random area with lotsa snow.
December 16th, 2484
"Run for your life dammit!"
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHAAA444444HHHHH!!!!1111one!1"
Take one guess. Yep, the crazy Reds. Currently, it was almost morning and the two were sprinting a mad dash to small houses. The ground around them started exploding, raining earth and metal everywhere.
Under artillery fire.
"Why are you screaming like an idiot?!" the blue haired android screamed.
"Shut up! At least I'm not obsessed with Choco Pies!" the whited haired one yelled.
"Yeah? Well, I'm not the one with whose uniform is several sizes too small."
"You have the tighter uniform!"
The younger glanced down at the uniform top. "Um, oh...I knew that?" The older one swung it's rifle in frustration. "Joo babouyah! You're just like that Police Girl-" "Seras." "Whatever! Ya, what are you stopping fo-AHH!"
"Onni!"
In case your wondering what is going on, the younger one had stopped cause they were near the houses and the older one had dumbly ran into a wall. Unfortunately, an artillery shell had also found it's mark.
In the crazy house of hell...
"Yes! Direct hit!"
"EH?! Izayoi, calm down! I know you hate the Reds just as much as I do, but-"
"SHUT UP! I must kill those bitches! One more round for you!" The cannon thundered once more and missed. She looked around for more 58mm shells of death. "Fuck! Out!"
What the-? Has the woman lost her mind?
Izayoi ripped Hoon's M2 from his hands, aimed at the other tan figure heading toward it's fallen comrade, and fired a shot into the chest. The figure stumbled, fell, scrambled to it's knees, obviously in great pain. It seemed to be calling for it's comrade. Then she heard it.
"Onni..."
Izayoi, just for a moment, felt remorse. She had killed that figure's sibling. They could've been like Moon-Seok and Inuyasha. They could've loved each other like any other siblings. 'No. This is war. The Red bastards killed Moon-Seok... Myeongsung... and I intend to avenge them.' She remembered seeing her own son's bloody face.
...and didn't care anymore.
"Shin'en!" The Japanese woman unleashed all 27 bullets of hell. "KILL, HATE, DESTROY!!!"
Wow. It's surprising what war can do to you.
Back to the chaos of battle...
"On...onni..."
The blue-haired android was collapsed on the dirt, broken and bleeding from the wounds in it's body. It couldn't stand the pain, wanted to curl up and give in. The droid glanced at a white cap in a nearby house. Shifted view from the innocent white to the bloody shredded cap on its sibling's body. Wanted to cry.
'Why? Why this damn civil war? Why Korean killing Korean? North or South, we're all the same. Same language, same culture, same emotions...same blood...'
Blood started to pool on the cold snow. The android brung a hand to it's face. Stared at it.
It was covered with thick, white blood.
'Weak. That's what I've been called all my life. Even though I passed every test with flying colours, I'm still weak. Onni was right...I'm a failure. But...'
"Warning...no power remaining. Sh-shutting down all body functi-."
A single tear fell from the android's face, leaving a sparkling trail in its wake. "I can still prove myself..."
"Warning...unknown anomaly detected. Does not compute."
The android grasped the ground and painfully lifted itself up. Miraculously, it got to it's feet and started to shuffle slowly forward, despite being shot about 30 times. It stumbled a few feet...before the actual pain set in.
A disgusting splat resounded from the android's body and hands instinctively grasped the belly; eyes instantaneously glazed over from pain. White blood leaked from the bowels and mouth, a horrendous gut shot. The synthetic gasped as unbelievable pain raped its frail body; tried to scream.
A heartbreaking moan was all that issued out from the android's mouth.
"Minimal power remaining; shutting down all sensory functions and rerouting power to main reactor."
Wait, that meant-
The entire world suddenly went dark.
A cripple yelped in pain.
"Thanks for carrying Kazuma, Kirara!" a certain taijiya praised.
The neko slightly nodded in response.
"This sucks. First, he collapses on the ground and starts shaking for no reason. Second, he breaks his damned chest bone. And now, he breaks his leg. Can this get any worse?!"
"There's a town just up ahead, we can treat Kazuma's wounds at a healers."
"We have no time for a fucking med check-up! He can just heal on his own and-"
"Calm down Inuyasha! Do you want to attract any other demons while Kazuma's in this state?" Miroku reprimanded.
"I don't think any normal demons would be out at this time of the year."
"What makes you say that Shippou?" Kagome asked.
"It's cold, you know."
Everyone stopped, except for Inuyasha. It had been Kazuma's voice, only this time, there was nothing innocent or kind about it. His voice, though still feminine, was bitter now. Almost to the point of cruel logic, as if he took pleasure from suffering.
"Don't be so dumb, even demons have their limits. The weaker ones will freeze to death, normal ones will seek shelter, the strong will try their hardest to kill us. It is the dead of winter." Kazuma painfully sat up on Kirara, grunting as he did so. He crossed his arms defiantly and exhaled. "Besides...we can die as well."
Everyone was pretty much shocked at his transition from angelic child to cruel logic but he was right.
Eventually, he would be dead right.
It was afraid.
Yes. Afraid. Like any other living being in the world, it too could feel scared.
Without it's advanced optics and sensors, the synthetic was utterly helpless. Lost in silent darkness, it felt overwhelming fear and woe. Even the android's full access to it's memories were offline. If it could talk, it would be screaming and begging for help. But alas, the speech module was shut down to save power.
'M...mm...on...on...ni. S-s-sa-ve...m-me.'
Well, at least it could still think.
Even though the android could not feel, see, or hear anything, it knew its arms had wrapped around its chest to fight against the cold or fearful nothingness it was imprisoned in. It began to panic once it realized the shooter out there was alive and could capture them, possibly killing them in gruesome ways.
'Jaebal, onni. I-I d-d-don't...wanna b-be...alo-'
Alone.
Without it's sibling, the android was alone. Was this was how true loneliness felt like? All the terrible fear and sadness inside you just because nobody is with you? Not even music made you feel better? This was what Korean Admiral Yi Soon Shin actually felt inside? This was loneliness? The android recalled a hurtful remark a scientist had said when the two siblings were still living at Yutani.
"Koreans are always lonely. Especially the North Koreans."
Yes, this was loneliness; sadness which was doomed to start from over 5000 years ago. This was Korea's history.
Nothing but tragedy.
The fake construct couldn't take anymore and started to cry. Endless tears ran down it's cheeks as its body began to shake uncontrollably. The synthetic dropped to its knees as more false blood and guts spilled out of the body. More of the thick liquid stained the snow, intermixed with the other android's blood a few feet away.
The words, SYSTEM FAILURE SHUTTING DOWN, appeared in the blackness.
"Saranghamnida...Myo..."
Back to Japan...again.
"There! We're at the damn town, now what?" an exasperated hanyou yelled.
"Thank you Kami-sama!" Kagome screamed to the heavens while kissing the ground.
"Yes! We can get out of the cold now!" a kitsune jumped with weary joy.
"I will go and see if there's any exorcism to be preformed."
A certain taijiya grabbed Miroku's ear. "No, you will help us get Kazuma to the nearest healer." She emphasized by pointing to a napping dog demon on a cute neko's back, both being watched by the townspeople. "Sango, I just wanted to go see if anybody needs a demon to exorcise." "Yeah? Then why does Inuyasha nor Kagome sense anything?" "Uh, better safe than never?" Sango just huffed at the Buddhist monk and dragged the poor man to Kirara. "Stay." Meanwhile, with the dog and cat...
"I told you Kagome. The people may welcome us, but they might as well kill the new guy on the spot."
Kagome stopped and stamped her foot in the snow, clearly frustrated. "And why is that Inuyasha?" The hanyou groaned. "Look at him! Wearing black? Hair and eyes identical to mine? One of those 'guns' in your era, and a weird sword to boot! He 'sticks out like a sore thumb' or whatever you use in your era!" "Oh like your one to talk, you have dog ears!" "At least I don't wear an insanely short skirt all the time!"
"Osuwari!"
Shippou sighed at the sight. "They all need to grow up, don't they Kirara?" The said neko growled in agreement. "Zzz...uhm, wha?" Kim lazily opened his right red colored eye to see the sight before him. "Hmm...what did I miss?"
"A demon? It talks?!" a random man yelled fearfully. "Kami-sama, it sounds like a woman too!" another added. "It must be disguising itself! Quick houshi-sama, kill it!"
Kazuma's eyes widened and he cringed. His heartrate increased by twofold and his mind geared into overdrive. Hands began to reach for the pistol on his leg...but he fell off Kirara as he lost balance. The Korean youkwe backed away in fear, bumped right into something; looked up.
It was the taijiya, Sango. "Are...y-you ga-gonna kill m-me too?" The demon slayer just smiled and winked at him. She walked right past Kazuma to confront the angry townspeople, some of them already had gotten their katanas ready.
"Lay down your weapons people. He's with us."
The men weren't convinced. "Taijiya, that demon could be tricking you to harbor it! Open your eyes and kill it!" Sango stood her ground. "He's injured and needs medical attention, where's the healer in your town?" "Why should we tell you? It's better to kill the dammed thing! It'll kill you in your sleep!" The slayer didn't budge an inch but was already beginning to lose patience with these men. "If he was bad, I would've killed him already. I haven't killed him and never will, Kazuma here intends no harm."
The men began to lower their weapons, murmuring amongst themselves. Then they all raised their weapons again. "That abomination has a fucking name?! What, it has an incestuous family too?" All the men chuckled at this snub remark. "Hey," one commented as he glanced over Sango to see Kazuma's face. The kae youkwe ducked behind Miroku as he let out a girlish meep. "It looks pretty cute, think I could rent it for the night?"
Sango snapped.
"Shut up!" she screamed. "I can't believe you people! You call yourselves men?! So what if Kazuma's a youkai? You just take one glance at him and wish him dead?! He's injured and you all have no compassion. What if it was you?! And," she pointed to the man who commented. "You sick bastard! Just because Kazuma sounds like a girl doesn't mean he's a damn rent boy! We all came here looking for a healer and you all just take it out on Kazuma! You men are all the real demons here!" It took all of Sango's trained discipline not to seriously hurt all the people living here. The acrimonious demon slayer promptly about-faced and stormed back to Inu-tachi. She exhaled, trying to focus on other things. Like beating the hell out of Miroku.
Yeah, that always worked.
"Inuyasha. We're leaving," a shocked Kagome ordered, without hesitation.
"Damn right we're leaving! We can look for the shards!" The inu hanyou rancorously crossed his arms.
"I can't believe you all say such nonsense. Your actions are unforgivable!" Miroku spat out.
Shippou and Kirara nodded in unison. Kim had just fallen asleep again, either from panic or Sango's words nobody would know. The ragtag group was about to walk out when-
"Wait! Wait!" a female voice yelled. A young woman in miko robes came running, pushing through the unruly crowd. The same man who "commented" on Kazuma caught her. "And where do you think your going wench?" He looked at the miko hungrily like a rapist. The woman narrowed her eyes and kneed him in the abdomen, crushing the unprotected organs like tin foil. "To help the people you just offended. Bastard," the miko hissed as the man collapsed, screaming at the top of his lungs. She maliciously glared at the others and kicked her victim once more in the chest to shut him up. The unnamed miko ran to the Inu-tachi, leaving the crowd alone to help the man who was probably dead or at least humilated by now.
"What a brave woman." a child whispered.
The crowd had no choice but to agree.
Smoke filled the air as Izayoi took a final drag on her cigarette.
"A-aniyoh, Izzi. I thought you didn't smoke," a kae youkwe in a white military uniform fidgeted.
"I don't Hoon-Yeong," was the simple reply. "Oh..."
The Japanese woman flicked the butt at the wall but it (get it?) rebounded and hit her in the nose. "Oww..." she lazily said.
A small hand tugged at the woman's kimono sleeve, she sighed. "Ne, ahdul?"
"Okka. Why did you save those people? And what happened to them? They look hurt. Will they be okay?" The child pointed to a dark room. "They'll be fine. And I saved them because Yideungbyung Lee here shot them."
"M-mwo?! Izayoi-nim! Naeu-"
Izayoi silenced the demon Private by glancing his way and winking. He understood and silenced himself.
"What about hyeong-nim?" the innocent child asked.
Izayoi didn't say a word.
Warning! Hallucination sequence!
Izayoi ran in the heavy snow, following a dim light. She had to protect him; she had to get to Kim Moon-Seok in time. Already, Izayoi could hear screams of absolute agony...
Before she knew it, the woman was in a dim-lit room, deathly silent; the screaming had stopped. She unslung her K2 and unleashed a wild burst that made her ears ring. The only things she heard was her insane heartbeat, rapid breathing, and the clink of brass casings hitting the floor. Then she saw it. A vivid trail of disgusting white fluid leading to the dark side of the huge room. Out of prue fear of being raped herself, she unloaded the rest of the rifle into the darkness. Nothing. She reloaded her Daewoo K2 and switched to burst mode, every movement echoing in the emptiness. Izayoi called for her son-in-law. "Moon-Seokah!!"
She called for him several more times but to no avail. Too bad the woman hadn't realized she walked a bit to fall into a pool. A pool full of semen. Absolutely horrorified at this, Izayoi scrambled away from the nastiness only to bump into something. She whipped around, ready to blow their brains out! Or someone.
Her eyes widened. "Moon...S-seokah?!"
"He-AH! Mmm...ahnyeong, Iz-Izayoi-nim."
Immediately, she knew something was wrong. Her stepson had a heavy blush on his cheeks, he was moaning every second...and he was naked. "Moon-Seokah!" The Japanese female grasped the Korean boy by his shoulders. "What happened here? Why are you here?! Please answer me, Kim!" The aforementioned youkwe didn't respond and his moans seemed to intensify, blood red eyes dulling to a dark pink. Izayoi dropped her K2 and tightly embraced Kim, forgetting all about the evil.
"Moon-Seok, please. We have to-" The Japanese woman faltered as she spied something dripping from behind.
Something that smelt salty and appeared sticky, viscious, and white...
"Okka, kenchansumnida?"
Izayoi blinked. She could've sworn she saw her step son a moment ago; moaning...blushing...something drip-
The final image threatened to heave the contents of Izayoi's stomach as finally realized what she imagined. Izayoi's vision swam in and out as she tried to focus on something else instead. Her belly tightened and Izayoi felt it twist and bend in ways she thought wasn't humanly possible.
"Okka-san. You don't look so good. Are you in labor?"
Now where the hell did her son learn- her stomach seemed to pancake as her body overloaded.
Maybe she shouldn't have smoked that cigarette pack so quick.
"Who are you and what do you what?!" a seriously pissed off hanyou spat.
The miko who had chased after the Inu-tachi was panting and out of breath. Which made sense since it was absolute zero out, with snow falling all around them. Currently, the group had moved quite a bit from the town so that the villagers wouldn't hunt down and kill. The unnamed miko looked up and peeked at a sleeping dog demon on a neko's back. The woman stamped her foot and crossed her arms disapprovingly.
"First, I'm the village healer. Second, wake that demon up! Even though he's strong by human standards, he's weak by demon standards and will freeze to death if you don't."
Kagome just nodded and gently nudged a snoozing Kim. He didn't budge. "Wake up, Kazuma." Nothing. The schoolgirl shook Kazuma again and the young man slid off Kirara's back. Kazuma's hands went near his face and his fingers curled as if he was holding a favorite toy. He moaned a little and muttered something.
"Arrggh. If you can't wake him Kagome, I will." Inuyasha said.
Our favorite inuhanyou crouched down and roughly shook the other kaeyoukwe. No stirring so Inuyasha slapped him. Yet nothing. "Arrgh. Forget this." Other attempts by Miroku and Sango got the same result, nothing. This went on for a while before...
The miko pushed the others aside. "My God, you don't know how to wake a demon?!" The woman sighed, sat right next to the sleeping demon, and said...
"Let's eat."
Kim's ears instantly perked up and his eyes opened. Instead of his "normal" haunting ghost look, his eyes were suddenly vibrant and full of life. Everyone (except the miko) sucked in a breath at this, surprised at how innocent the eyes looked.
"Food?" he asked, innocent and childlike.
The woman glanced back at the stunned Inu-gang, trying her hardest to look badass. It failed miserablely due to the blush on her cheeks. 'Meh...forget this.' The miko stood up and looked at Kazuma straight in his dual-coloured eyes. Gold-red to brown. The dog demon smiled, expectantly waiting for an answer.
It's too bad he was gonna hate it.
"There's no food, young demon." The miko sighed. "I lied." Kazuma's face fell and his eyes fogged over again. Tears were welling from his eyes again and the miko knew she would have to talk fast to remedy the situation. "Uh...I mean...there will be food soon?"
The poor expression didn't give. He still had that haunted look on his face. Kazuma stared at the miko as if she were his mother. "A-are you s..sure?" The woman was unsure at this point, having never seen a demon acting so...human. Usually the demons she encountered either tried to kill her or rape her. Too bad they all died horrible, agonizingly slow, insane deaths. This one... he was... was different.
"Um..." She decided to shoot for it, hoping it was the right response. "Yes?"
The answer was right. However, Kazuma's response was rather...odd. At least for the others, anyway. The young youkwe practically leapt onto her chest, like some cliche scene in a romantic anime game. Combine that with the miko's ample, er...assets and you've got a handful of blushing people in the middle of nowhere.
"Oh Kami-sama! The demon's trying to force itself on Kimiko! Get them!!!"
Not to metion the insane people had come back.
'Shibbal!' Hoon thought.
Yideungbyung Lee Hoon-Yeong stared at the scene before him. Izayoi Watanabe had thrown up for no reason at all, Kim Moon-Jin was crying for his mother, and now, he had two POWs in the house of insanity.
Man, could this get any worse?
"Ya kae seikya!"
Lee's brown eyes widened in fear and shock. That voice definitely was not Izayoi's. This new voice had a rough quality to it and sounded tired, as if it was an officer. A good one but sick of fighting.
Oh yeah...and the voice was feminine too.
"Oh shi-" Lee whipped around-
Only to meet an angel.
She, rather tall for a Northern and extremely beautiful as well, with ankle-length white hair (accompanied with a temper to match it), stood with her arms crossed over her chest, tapping her foot. Most of her snowy hair were covering the eyes, creating a horror movie look. The brown uniform the angel wore had been torn apart from a blast of some sort, revealing most of her bloodied skin. Her weapon, if you could call it that, was reduced to nothing but a splinter of burnt wood impaled in her side and a still sizzling metal bolt fused to the red star on her cap. The angel seemed to notice Hoon's stare and slipped back into the shadows.
"A-are...you blushing?"
Hoon was completely caught off guard at this question. He attempted to look threatening to this angel since she was wearing the enemy uniform but failed miserably in part of his evident cherry blush. "A-ani...!" he scowled. "Bullshitu!" the angel laughed in Konglish.
Hoon-Yeong blushed deeper at the laugh, hearing as it had a rather light-hearted tone to it.
"You Southerners are a strange bunch, you know that?" the girl teased. "Lusting after a soulless object like me!"
If Hoon was ever truly baffled in his life, this was it. Either this girl was insane or some kind demon from hell in disguise. The soldier girl laughed again, although it was more of a giggle this time. Another figure stepped out of the shadows behind her, hands to the chest. Although it wasn't clear, Hoon could make out the shape of a rifle and his own was covered in Izayoi's vomit, far beyond reach. Crap.
"Onni."
Hoon-Yeong's face faulted in shock. There was absolutely no flipping way that-
"Ai mwo?"
A white-fluid covered hand held a small package. The other's expression seemed to tighten up in anger or possibly just sibling annoyance, then softened as the hand dropped the package. She exhaled a weary sigh and picked up the dropped package of sw33t goodness. "Don't lose it." The other hand reached for the pack and stopped as it hovered over the white-haired girl's hand. "Koumahwouhyoh onni." Two hands met and the former acknowledged by a simple nod. She then turned back to the confused demon. Smiled.
Wait. Did she just smile?
"Miahn. My sister's pretty childish when it comes to sweets. But she's very sweet and mild-mannered once you get to know her." The latter half-stepped out of the darkness, revealing a hint of blue hair, eating...the sugarloadedchocolatecoveredmarshmallowfilledhypernessinducing treat only known as...
Choco Pie.
"Relly, donth lithin tuo er. Id alvay meus thins upu."
The white-haired chuckled. She ruffled her sibling's hair, deliberately slithering underneath the tan cap. That's when Hoon saw an opening; he drove for his vomit-covered carbine, surprising the two women. The officer just as fast drew her sidearm, the Luger-like shape and faded Japanese characters making it distinct, a Nambu pistol. Hoon's draw was faster, in less than 2 seconds he had caught his weapon and leveled at the white-haired one's head.
"Koumahsah!"
She froze, knowing that in her injured state she could barely support herself, much less protect her other half from harm. The female officer had either of two options: Surrender and attempt to plead with the "dog from the South" or shoot and have everybody die. Everything seemed run to a standstill as Hoon waited for a response. She fully raised her head, moving her cascaded bangs out of her face, and spoke calmly. "Your single, right?" Hoon was completely taken aback by this simple question from a "Red bastard", especially one who held a high rank. He wasn't sure how to respond so he decided to fall back to one he had used around the cute schoolgirls he hung out with. "Uhm...yeh?"
That was all she needed. The girl sighed and took her fingers off her pistol, letting it drop to the ground. Her jackboot kicked it away, raised her hands up in surrender. Hoon just gazed at the North Korean officer in shock, not believing the sight before him. The young demon's hands slowly dropped his M2 Carbine.
"I'm tired and just want to sleep," the officer said as she opened her eyes.
Her eyes. Blood red.
'Just like Moon-Seokah's...' Lee solemnly thought.
Her irises seemed to rotate as she stepped into the light, it was too mechanized. Like...like a robot. What Yideungbyung Lee Hoon-Yeong saw next almost made him faint with joy. Almost. The officer was exactly as the young demon had envisioned. She had white hair, red eyes, and ample breasts. Only there were two things wrong. That pretty much screamed, "You...you're...one of the Yutani Arusia models?!"
Dead silence.
"M-mwo...? E...Mousoon sohwriyah?" the officer asked, obviously confused. The Korean Private pointed accusingly at the officer and screamed, "I used to have your exact model!" The young Korean demon started to rant on, describing various stuff he had done with his own android, making the female officer wish she had her gun, until...
"Johyongi hae!" Everything went silent. Even the crickets outside froze as the officer and demon wondered where the booming voice came from. They glanced at each other, nodded...and began the search! Both soldiers ransacked...from the kitchen, to the living room, the porch...Moon-Jinah's room...pretty much everywhere. "Found anything yet?" "Nope." They overturned tables and opened cans. When everything else failed they began to search each other; stripping weapon and uniform off. Just to find that arcane voice.
"...oh...uhm...onni, why are you getting naked?"
Naked? What...oh teh noez!
Both Lee Hoon-Yeong and the female NK officer immediately stopped what they were doing. They both were half-naked, the male dog demon with his pants off and blouse discarded, revealing anime boxers and a white tank top. The female Communist officer had her tunic, cap, and bra stripped off, breeches unbuttoned halfway, lightish red panties teasing her... well, you know. The two opposing "not-so-human-but-with-human-appearance" sides met eye contact before violently pushing off each other, Hoon shrieking like a schoolgirl and the officer attempting to look defiant in disgust. Both pretty much failed due to a nine-thousand percent increase of blood flowing to their cheeks.
A giggle was heard. It was soft and delicate at first, but soon burst to wild amusement. While the mysterious voice kept laughing all the way, both soldiers decided it would be best to get their clothing back. Unfortunately for them, somebody else stepped out of the room of doom, effectively stopping any efforts of decency.
Another girl soldier was standing a few feet in front of the two embarrassed Koreans, laughing as if on crack. When the officer saw the person, she yelped, berating the peeper for spying. The latter didn't care... too busy laughing. After the lighthearted moment, the hysteric person quieted down, ending both North's and South's eternal shame. The female officer pulled up her breeches and confronted the other, still blushing mad.
"This never happened, understand?" The latter girl chuckled. "Okay...onni...heh,heh."
Yideungbyung Lee Hoon-Yeong just stared at the two girls (after getting some decency of course). The 18 year old dog demon was so confused, he could only say, "What the hell is going on here?!"
The two girl soldiers turned to face the puzzled South Korean. The officer, as before, sighed in annoyance. The one in the khaki uniform, however, smiled shyly. "Ah...jeosonghamnida. I just had too much fun watching you guys search each other." This earned her shocked expressions of doom. The girl looked down at her feet again, blushing as she kicked a loose pebble.
"It's pretty ironic, don't you think?" she lamented as the two others glanced her way questioningly. "I mean...we're a divided people, like how the Germans used to be, and hate each other. But..." A peach coloured wire wrapped around her finger and the girl fidgeted with it. "We're the same..." Her expression softened and almost had a sense of despair in it. "It...i-it just made me sad how you two searched each other like that...as if you didn't care...would do anything just to get what you want." Crystal clear water dripped to the floor. She lifted her head as she cried, unveiling metal earblades and two peach-colored wires from the base of her neck.
"Onni...ohpa. Waeyoh?"
The room stood still.
AN: Aaaannnnddd...CUT! Happy Valentines everyone! From your lovely Korean author, Kim.
Extras? Coming right up, my loyal comrades! Remember to click the little button that says "Review".
Korean Terms
"Ne, ahdul?": This means, "Yes, son?"
"Okka, kenchansumnida?": "Okka" is Japanese for mommy, "Kenchansumnida" is the formal way of "Are you okay?"
"Saranghamnida...Myo...": This means "I love you" in a respectful sense. "Myo" means "grave" but it can also mean "cat" in Chinese too! Nyah!
"Koumahwouhyoh.": Means "Thank you." "Thank you" can be said many ways in Korean. Ex: Koumahsupmnida, Kamsahamnida, etc.
"Koumasah!": This is more like a command when you're angry. It means, "Don't move!"
"Shibbal": A curse word in Korean, this is equal to USA's F-word. Don't use it.
"Ya kae seikya": This is one of the absolute worst things you can insult somebody in Korean. I'm not gonna tell you what it means. Let's just say...it is ironic to the dog demons.
"M-mwo...? E...Mousoon sowriyah?": This roughly translates to, "W-what? Uh...What are you saying?"
"Jaebal": Use this when you are begging for somebody or in absolute danger (or if you're just trying to act cute). This means, "Please?"
"Johyongi hae!": Translates to "Be quiet!" A stronger version, equel to telling somebody to "shut up", is used, but I'm too flippin' lazy to romanize it.
"Onni...ohpa": Finally! The word you reviewers (well, at least the non-Korean ones :P) have been waiting for! "Onni" translates to... elder sister. Yep, you all heard me correctly. Sister. Use only if you are female and have a elder sister. "Ohpa" means "Elder brother", again if you are a girl, use "ohpa" if you have a elder brother. If you have a Korean girl/boyfriend, use "nunah" and "opha" respectively, Koreans like to call their lovers by this.
Now on to the next extras!
Randomness of Story
"House of Hell": The so-called Hell House is named so because of the vast amount of supplies and weapons hidden in an underground wine cellar. Izayoi had somehow summoned an artillery cannon and used it to blow away our favorite communist duo.
"Daewoo K2": The real, actual service assault rifle of the ROK Armed Forces. This rifle looks very handsome in my opinion and uses an AK style action, making it more reliable than the crappy US M16s and M4s. Accurate but a little weak because of the bullet used (standard US "5.56mm"). Can accept NATO STANAG magazines.
"Nambu pistol": The sidearm my lovely NK officer carries, this pistol was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces in 1925. Apparently a Colonel "Nambu" designed this because of his superiors orders. It's too bad this pistol was poorly designed, as many officers died due to the magazine-retaining spring and useless safety. During 6.25, many North Korean and Chinese officers used and hated this pistol. Another one of my OCs uses this pistol, but the caliber is 7.62mm Soviet round and was presented as a gift to her. She loves it.
Arisaka Type 99: This a very powerful bolt-action rifle with a wicked long bayonet (20 inches of cold steel). An intresting fact is that the Type 38 rifle could actually be converted to the .30-06 Springfield bullet (done by the US Army to supply the ROK Army in 6.25). Looks very cool in my opinion but the sights are horrible. Used in WW2 by the Japanese Army and in the Korean War by both Communist and ROK forces. In the story, one of the androids uses a particular T99 made by the obsolete Jinsen Arsenal when Korea was assimilated by Japan.
"Janggun-nim Yi Soon Shin": The GREATEST man that has EVER lived! The true hero of Korea! The immortal man who absolutely destroyed the Japanese invaders during the Imjin Junjaeng! My hero! F--- YEAH!
"Yideungbyung Lee Hoon-Yeong": A young kae youkwe (dog demon) in the ROK Army, he is a good friend of the Kim family. He was drafted into the Army at 18 years. Because of this, when the scumbag Mercs invaded Seoul, he hitched a ride with a fellow Sergeant of his and drove off to Busan. But his car came under fire and his Sergeant was killed. And Lee ran away to find Izayoi and Moon-Jin. End of story. He's rather perverted (as you saw in the end) but respects womens' privacy. Lee was a somewhat lonely man in his past and usually hung out with his female classmates more often than the boys. He also had a Yutani manufactered Arusia android (straight from Japan!) to practice his dating skillz on. Pretty good at it too! Anyways, Hoon's appearance is that of a normal Asian male; black hair and brown eyes. He likes anime, manhwa chek (Korean comics books), and the MMO rhythmn game, DJMAX. His rank is equal to that of a US Private.
"Weyland-Yuntani Arusia Androids": Our two favorite Red soljahzz! Not much about this guys, except they are female and based off of a relatively new model android (the one Hoon had) made by the Japanese sector of Weyland-Yuntani. I originally planned to give their names in this chapter but I ran outta time. Besides, I think this way is better. You will find out more about them in the next chapter. Hopefully. LOLZ!
