Chapter 7: THERE IS A BIRB. A BIRB HAS ENTERED THE FACILITY. EVERYONE RUN.

I don't know what is going to happen with this chapter. So here we go. Also I realized that Deep Blue is out of character in all of my fanfictions. Maybe its because I like to give him some emotion? Idk anyway.

Melkor'sOnlyLieutenant: TRUE! Jerichi the Hypocrite. That's his knight name. Oh she is. Thank god Lettuce was there or we would have lost one of our main characters.

Kish sat up. Something doesn't feel right. Maybe it's the silence in the house. Maybe its Deep Blue's quiet humming (it actually sounds good. Which is weird because Kish is constantly annoyed whenever the blue fairy opens his mouth.) Kish looked around. Nothing is out of place. Pai is sitting in his chair, reading a very long and very boring book. Taruto is sitting on the floor, playing with his friend, Pudding. (She decided to come over today.) And Deep Blue is sitting in the chair adjacent to Pai. The blue fairy is staring at the ceiling, obviously bored since he is slouching in the chair. His humming continued.

Pudding is a very tan fairy with short gold hair. Her hair looks short due to the four thin braids she has on the back of her head. She constantly wears an orange one piece. And she is bare foot (like most fairies). Her wings match Kish's colour except hers are a bit more orange. Her large brown eyes are full of youth and excitement as she beats Taruto in another game. She raises her hands in the air and grins.

"Pudding won, na no da!" the girl cheered. Taruto grumbled.

"Because I let you win," the boy frowned. Pudding giggled.

Pai turned a page in his book, Deep Blue continued to hum, and Pudding beat Taruto at another game.

What feels wrong? What is out of place?

That's when the blue fairy sat up, his humming stopped. His eyes never left the ceiling. He noticed the off feeling too. The ceiling began to creak and groan. A squawk is heard.

Pai looked up as well. Pudding stopping cheering her 'na no da's'. Taruto continue to grumble. But he noticed too.

The ceiling starting to crack, the wood is splitting, dust fell from the newly formed lines that danced in the ceiling. Deep Blue tackled Pudding before a wooden beam could crush her. Along with a giant foot that belonged to a-

"BIRD!" Kish shrieked. The blue fairy stood with the orange fairy in his arms. He sprinted to the door. Pai dropped his book, grabbed the youngest Ikisatashi, and flew out the door. The ceiling continued to crack and cave in under the bird's weight. The blue fairy is lagging behind (since he can't fly at the moment.) Pudding is shaking. Kish flew past the two, chasing after Pai.

"Pudding, fly to the door and be quick about it," Deep Blue ordered.

"What about Deep Blue-"

"GO!" He threw the child who screamed and instantly began to flap her wings. She is out the door.

Once she left, the blue fairy looked around for a new exit because he won't make it to the door in time. Then he remembered. There is the balcony upstairs. The blue fairy sprints up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. He is sprinting over to the balcony. The walls are closing in. He can hear the bird's squawking. He is almost there. The ceiling is cracking and falling behind him. The walls are groaning under the bird's weight.

He jumps out, his arms are crossed and out, protecting his face from the debris. The house crumbles and a screech follows. A bird has nested on their home. That's not all, Deep Blue is falling.

"Well. What have I gotten myself into?" Deep Blue thought out loud. "This is some déjà vu bullshit right here."

He continues to fall, but not for long. His eyes narrowed. A branch is closing in. He can reach it. The blue fairy grasped onto the branch. He hisses from the sudden pull on his arm due to his weight and the sudden strain on his muscles. He latches onto the branch with his other arm and pulls himself up. Oh how he misses flying. (But he can't speed up the healing process in fear that he'll be found out) Flying is very helpful at these times. He adjusts himself on the branch so he can sit, dangling his legs over the side. He glares at the red and black bird, nesting in his temporary home. It's a Cardinal. A male Cardinal. A fat one to be exact. Look how smug he is, siting on his new home.

You know what, fuck that bird. Fuck you bird.

"There is an entire neighbourhood in this tree. Several thousand houses. And yet this bird must have this one. The one I am residing in," the blue fairy mumbled. "And how am I supposed to get down? I could fall to my 'death' but then Kish and his idiotic family will find out." The bird chirps and his feathers ruffle.

Climbing is also an option. Standing up, Deep Blue held his arms out to balance himself to walk over to the base of the tree. Deep Blue keeps his eyes on the bird as he steadies himself on the branch. He is already thinking of ways to decapitate the bird. He could do it now, considering what he did to Jerichi two days ago. But then it would be raining bird's intestines and he does not want to clean that up. Also there are children present and this is not that kind of story.

The bird's bead eyes land on the blue fairy. He freezes knowing well that birds eat fairies, mistaking them for insects. The bird stares at Deep Blue, who is frozen mid-step (which is clearly an uncomfortable position). The two have a staring contest and Deep Blue is sweating slightly, nervous about falling. The leg that is on the branch begins to ach and starts to shake slightly. The leg that is in the air is threatening to move. His arms are out, trying to keep the flightless fairy balanced.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the bird looks away at something else. Deep Blue quickly moves to the base of the tree, right below the bird's new nest. Then he made a mistake. He looked down.

"SHIT!" he latched himself onto the base of the tree, his back pressed against it. "Why is this branch so high up?" he realizes how shaking his voice sounds. Is he…. Scared? Well of course not! Deep Blue shakes his head. "Okay. I can do this. It is just a simple climbing exercise. Nothing too obscene. It cannot be that complicated now can it." He looks down again and his heart races. He adverts his eyes from the absurd drop and stares up at the sky. "Obviously it can! OHHHHOHOHOKAY. I admit this was poorly thought out!" He chuckles…And he looks down. There are no branches after the one he is currently on. So if he falls, there will be nothing to grab on too and…

And was this tree always so high?!

"I cannot possibly be afraid of heights. How comical!?... but the tree is really high… AGAIN! COMICAL...just climb the damn tree…," he turns around. "You place your right foot down here and…" he starts moving down the tree. And he is making sure that his teal eyes do not move downward. (Unless he needs to look at his feet. So he make sure that he only looks at his feet and nothing more.) Everything was going smoothly-

SHRIEK!

Deep Blue turns to find the Cardinal flying right for him, beak open and ready to devour. The blue fairy's eyes widened and he quickly dodges the bird. But the impact of the bird to the tree made him lose his footing. He is holding on to the bark for dear life. Even though, falling from this height will not kill him, the adrenaline of knowing that he will fall is what is making him scared. The intense feeling forming in his gut, the panicked gasping knowing that his clawed fingers are slipping. One by one.

And then the fall. He knew he fell once before but this time it's different. He has nothing to latch on to. Nothing to save him.

Now everyone will know that Noble Deep Blue is actually King Deep Blue.

"There he is, na no da!" a voice shouted. Pudding.

"Finally! I got you!"

Deep Blue felt arms carry him. And he knew this feeling well.

"You're late," is all he can say.

"Well excuse me! A simple thank you would suffice!" Kish complained. "You almost died! AGAIN!"

"Death and I are intimate," Deep Blue grinned. He is feeling much better now…. That was weird. The scared feeling went away as soon as Kish caught him. The blue fairy blinked. He will not worry about it now.

"Well death and you better stop being intimate right now!"

"Oh how can we, Kish? We are very much in loveeeaaAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Kish dropped the blue fairy, there is a smug look on his face.

"Deep Blue onichan!" Pudding prepared to dive but Kish stopped her. "Kish onichan!? Pudding is angry with Kish onichan, na no da! Why did you do that, na no da!?"

"He was freaking me out! And I think he deserves it. But I probably should catch him now…" Kish scratched the back of his head.

"No need," Kish turned to find a very pissed off looking Deep Blue, Pai, who looks indifferent about the situation, and Taruto, who instantly flew over to Pudding. Pai is holding the blue fairy and he looks like he is not enjoying it. The blue fairy is glaring at Kish, obviously planning murder. Pai continued. "Anyway. Setting this episode aside, we need to regroup. Obviously we are going to need to alert the guard to remove the bird from the premises."

"Why do we need to call for the guard? Kish has lightning abilities. He could just remove it right now," Deep Blue suggested. "We do not need the guard." His eyes narrowed.

Pai blinked and stared at the fairy in his arms. Pai has noticed that every time something that was brought up that had something in common with guards and castles, Deep Blue instantly swatted them away, coming up with something else or changing the subject. Then his grey eyes moved to Kish. He looks like he is considering the idea. But using lightning has a very high causality rate.

"No," Kish frowned. "I do not have complete control over my element. I have not been practicing either."

"You could practice now," the blue fairy stated. "Listen just concentrate on aiming your lightning at the bird. If you need help, just ask Pai to guide the lighting with his element of wind."

Pai blinked. How did he know? Pai hasn't even told anyone his element. (Except Kish and Taruto of course.) He feels embarrassed for having wind since wind is one of the main elements. Meaning it's powerful. And he feels like he doesn't deserve it. There are six main elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark. Those elements revolve around the most important element. Which no one knows what it is. The fairies learned about it. Vaguely. Masaya's is Earth of course. He can control the plants. Lettuce has the water element. (She felt embarrassed as well.) Ichigo's is light. It's pretty obvious since she sometimes, without meaning, lights up an entire room. And Pudding and Taruto has yet to find out theirs. Kish's element falls in the Light category. It is not a main element but is close to light.

"How did you know?" Pai asks, shocked.

"Please. It is undoubtedly noticeable! Anyone can tell," Deep Blue clicks his tongue.

"Actually no one can tell if you hide it well enough," Pai corrects.

Deep Blue is just now realizing the horrible mistake he has made. Obviously he is getting used to the Ikisatashi life style and is settling down by that is no excuse. This is the second, no third time he has slipped the truth. And this time he cannot go back on it like the others.

"I just have that ability… But I am right, yes? Use your winds to assist?" The blue fairy quickly changed the subject. Pai glared at the fairy, evidently not buying the lie.

"No! I am not putting this entire neighbourhood in danger because I can't control my lightning!" Kish screamed in rage. "If you want the bird gone, call the guard! They will handle it."

"We are not calling the guard. We do not need them," the blue fairy's voice went dark. "This bird is a minor problem an-"

"Then why don't you take care of it?!" Kish spat, cutting the blue fairy off.

"HAVE YOU NOT SEEN MY WINGS!?" Deep Blue lashed. He nearly tackled Kish but then realized Pai is holding him and they are up extremely high. He could only send Kish a dark look. "They are damaged, Kisshu."

Kish hated how poisonous his full name sounded on the blue fairy's lips. It stung. And he hates to admit that Deep Blue is right. He could use his lightning and have Pai's wind to guide the bolt.

But it is risky. Kish bites his lip.

"No. I don't want to risk it," Kish states. "However that does not mean I am unwilling to try."

Deep Blue blinked. "What the hell is that supposed to mean, boy?"

"It means I am going to practice. With a few friends of mine," Kish grinned. Pai sighed.

"Please tell me you mean someone else?" Pai asked, hope is in his voice.

"Nope!"

Pai let out the longest sigh. Taruto, Pudding, and Deep Blue look totally confused. And Kish is grinning.

"Come on! Lets go see Gâteau!"
