I only Own my OCs
Chapter 9: Burn
Tsuki looked into the mirror, assessing the girl looking back at her. She was dressed cleanly in a short dress that stopped about three inches above her knee and the fabric shined with the satin material it was made of. It bunched up near the bottom in soft waves. Two large white bows were tied around her waist and they drooped a little bit, hugging her small hips. The top of the dress dipped slightly, giving a small peek at her chest, but not enough to make the dress trashy. It was sleeveless and tightly embraced her modest chest and small curves. Tsuki sighed and fiddled with the bows. How did she get talked into this…? She fiddles with the few strands of hair that fell out her messy bun that was held together with a hair net. She stuck in a small white bow to jazz up the plain style. She applied a small amount of eyeliner and dark eyeshadow, but was otherwise left without makeup. The moon stepped out her room, her white two inch heels clinking softly as they tapped on the ground.
"Tsuuuuki!" Taiyou cried out, embracing her around her waist and whisking her up in a spinning hug. The girl's cheeks flushed with a soft pink color and she grasped the hem of the dress and tugged it down to prevent the world from seeing her panties.
"Taiyou!" She yelped in embarrassment, kicking softly, "Put me down!"
"But I haven't seen you in a dress for years!" the white haired teen cried, but put her down. Tsuki pouted and smoothed her dress out and glanced up at him.
"You embarrass me sometimes…Why did I have to go again? I don't like this formal stuff…"
"I got dressed up too! So don't complain!" Indeed he had gotten dressed up. The normally messy, fun-loving teen looked slick and clean. His unruly white hair was combed through neatly, though a few rebellious strands stuck out in places, and was tied back with a little black ribbon holding the puff of hair back. He had on a white dress shirt, but the top two buttons were undone, allowing a glance at his toned chest. He also had a simple black tuxedo top and black bottoms as well as shined black shoes. His grey eyes twinkled with the happiness for the upcoming dance. His hand was held behind his back and he a large grin was plastered on his face. "Guess what I have."
"Is It alive?"
"….Sort of…well…It was….but its pretty!" He held out a small box. "And It's all yours!" Tsuki opened the box warily, thinking something might jump out and try to eat her. Nothing did though, and she reached in, grasping the item gently. It was a little corsage with flowers; baby's breath for festivity and a large ginger flower to say that he was proud.
"Thank you, Taiyou. It's beautiful," the girl said, pinning the flowers on her dress. The sharp scent of the ginger combined with the comforting scent of baby's breath wafted up, putting a small smile on her face. "You do have good taste in flowers."
"I was taught well," he announce, twirling two roses in his hands, one white and one red. Behind his back, he had two more, a pink one and another red one.
"Couldn't decide who to get a flower?"
"Why decide? They all deserve one," He said with a grin, tucking them in his pocket. A calla lily was pinned to his tuxedo jacket. He held out his arm for his partner. "Shall we be off?" The ravenette silently took his arm and they left their apartment.
Fireworks shattered above them as the two walked down the streets. Explosions of reds, purples, yellows and oranges littered the sky, decorating it with its fiery beauty. A wide smile crept up on Taiyou's pale face; the colors fascinated him. Tsuki, though her plain expression didn't show it, was enjoying the bright colors too. The tones reflected on her crimson eyes and splashed hues of color on her softly shining dress. With every step they took towards the DWMA, the fireworks increased in intensity. They began to form intricate pattern above. Skulls, butterflies and a plethora of other simple images were drawn in the vivid explosions in the sky. Tsuki fiddled with her flowers that were pinned to her dress in anxiety. What if she was ugly…or people mocked her…? Taiyou looked to the side and popped her knuckles softly with his hand, making her yelp and look up in annoyance.
"Hey hey, calm down. You look stunning. Any idiot who doesn't think the same has something horribly wrong with them and deserves to be killed," The sun said, keeping a straight face the entire time. A small smile crept up on her pink lips; he we trying to cheer her up by talking in the tone she usually talked to him in. It worked; just a little encouragement made her feel lighter and ready to mingle. She dropped her hands and straightened up, looking at him. "Much better. Now lets go." She nodded and walked in, her heels clinking softly on the ground.
The room was bustling with activity. The party-goers were chatting with drinks and food in hand. The atmosphere was positively uplifting with the festivity around them. Tsuki stood there, waiting for someone she knew to come up and speak with her. A large hand tapped her shoulder and she turned, expecting to see Soul or Kid, or maybe Black*Star. Instead she saw a boy she didn't know. The first thing she noticed way his cherry red hair that hung messily into his face, covering his coffee colored eyes. A wide, friendly grin covered his softly tanned face. His garb wasn't as clean cut as Taiyou's, but seemed to reflect his personality well. Instead of a full jacket, he had on a plain black vest with a crimson shirt underneath. A blue tie added a random splash of color onto his otherwise red clothing. The boy held out his hand to her. "If I may?" Tsuki blinked, hesitating slightly. Before she could accept, Taiyou's protective instincts flared.
"Hey, what's your name?" Taiyou said, staring the boy own with a glare.
"Leroux…"
"Well, 'Leroux', keep it appropriate or I'll eat you alive," With a small smile, the older boy smiled at Tsuki and kissed her hand, "Have fun dear! And remember to tell me everything that happens with Mr…. 'Leroux'. Toodles!" With that, he ran off towards Tsubaki, pulling out his red rose as he ran.
Tsuki sighed and took his hand, figuring a dance with the boy couldn't hurt. "Forgive him…He's protective." Leroux chuckled, brushing off the threat as if it was nothing.
"It's not a problem. I respect that. Shall we dance?" He said, moving his free hand down to her waist and keeping a loose grip on her hand. She nodded and as the music started, they began to dance to the fast paced music. Their feet glided across the floor with ease, following the beat of the song. Tsuki let him lead her along, not particularly knowing the dance to the song. It was enjoyable for the two.
Soul had caught eye of Tsuki moments before she was snatched up by the boy. He blinked his crimson eyes, not believing them. She looked great, and somehow that thought made him skeptical that it was her. She had protested against the dress so much, he was sure that she would simply skip the dance and sit at home, like he wanted to do; but she surprised him by showing up. It brought a small smile to his lips; maybe he would dance with her.
The song she was dancing to was fairly short, so Leroux was forced to let Tsuki go so she could dance, but not without a goodbye kiss on her cheek. She flushed a pale pink as his lips brushed the warm flesh on her face. "Perhaps another dance later?" he asked her, his soft expression touching his espresso eyes. His red hair brushed softly against her forehead as he leaned a bit closer to her.
"Perhaps," the ravenette said as she dropped his hands, " That was pleasant though."
"The pleasure was all mine." With that, the boy walked away into the crowd of faceless people.
A hiss penetrated the back of Tsuki's mind. "Niccce boy, no?" said a soft, familiar voice. The ghost of the tongue and scales brushed past her neck and Tsuki reached up to touch them, but nothing appeared under her fingers. "Perhapsss there are more for you to danccce with," the feminine voice chuckled, wrapping her body around the girl. As the words escaped the snake's sharp maw, a ravaging headache hit the poorgirl's skull with a passionate fury of white hot rage. She groaned softly under the pain, but the loud music covered it up well. Her feet glided across the floor and over to a bench, where she took a seat and rubbed her temples softly, trying to dull the sharp pain. "Hmmm….? That hurtsss, doesssn't it? Feel the pain, Tsssuki, It's the pain of insanity." Her crimson eyes widened a fraction…Insanity…? How…? A jab of pain made her drop her thoughts and focus on relieving it.
A hand waved in her face, snapping her thoughts away from the sadistic guest in her mind. Her eyes snapped up, little dribbles of water forming at the corners of her eyes from the intense pain. Soul's eyes blinked at her, confused at why she was sitting on the side alone. "Yo, you were dancing earlier, why not now?"
"I got a headache…and no one asked me…"
"I'm asking you now." She blinked her dark lashes, confused. "Dance with me?"
"Sure…" She took his hand and got up, going to the dance floor. He lowered his hand to her waist and rested it softly there while he kept a firm grip on her hand. He looked at her and she noticed his hair wasn't held back with his usual obnoxious hair band. She blinked, wondering where it was. Her mind was wandering when the music started. It was a bit slower than the previous songs, perhaps for the Viennese Waltz. She was tugged out of her thoughts by Soul's forceful lead. She barely had to know where she was going; he brought her where she needed to be. Back… side …together …forward … side…together; it was pretty repetitive for a large portion. Just as her feet became accustomed to the constant movements, he spun her in a small circle, pulled her back to him and let go of her again. Her vision was discombobulated with the fast movement of the dance. He pulled her back, wrapping his arms around her and dipping her down softly before drawing her back up on her feet. She blinked her large crimson eyes and the dance was over. "That's it…?"
"It's supposed to be quick."
"That was confusing…"
"Want to try again-"
"Excuse meee! I'm going to steal her away reaaall quick." Without any other warning, Tsuki was hauled off her feet and across the floor on someone's shoulder. The man's smell was familiar to Tsuki. She growled softly as she recognized it.
"Taiyou! I was having fun…"
"I never thought I would hear those words out of your mouth, but too bad. We have to leave now. I smell trouble..."
"W-what? Why?"
"Just trust me," he said, picking up the pace. She nodded and held onto him around his neck. The ground of the building began to shake, making Taiyou's footing unsteady; but the sun only quickened his pace to make up for the lack of footing. A light green barrier began to form on the outside of the building. With one mighty leap, the boy made it off the balcony just in time. Tsuki grabbed Taiyou's hand, squeezing it tightly. Under her hand, his body glowed in a white light and it changed form. A rope formed under her hand. A heavy grappling hook weighed down the end with golden claws with little suns and swirls carved into the shining metal. With the flick of her wrist, Tsuki tossed the hooked end onto a balcony. It caught of the railing and jerked her off her downward spiraling path to the ground. She swung across the DWMA like Tarzan would swing across the jungle. She stopped herself against a tower of the school and lowered herself to the ground safely. Panting, she dislodged her hook from the building. Taiyou didn't transform into a human, but into a crossbow instead. His partner blinked in confusion and looked at his reflection reflection in the shining engraved metal.
"We have company…," Taiyou said warily, his eyes set dead ahead. Tsuki looked up in the direction he was glaring so intently at and blinked in surprise. In front of her was a woman. She seemed tall, lean and skinny, and her skimpy clothing of a tank top and black shorts was only making her look taller. There was nothing on her feet except for mud and grime from the dirty roads and city streets. Her hair washed down her back in a splash of snow white. Her face was sharp and she had a long nose and face with wide lips. Her eyes were coal black and wild with anger and hunger that showed with her caved in belly and ribs. She caught glace of Tsuki and her lips peeled away from her teeth, showing her fangs. "Hi….mom…."
The woman's nose crinkled back in disgust, hearing the familiar voice of her son. "…Taiyou…Why must I always remind you that you are no son of mine? You didn't live up to my expectations, so my only real son is-or should I say was?- Koudo. Poor boy. I'd say rest his soul, but it ended up in your belly. "
"That's ok…I still think you're my mom…even though you tried to kill me…I don't know why…"
"Stupid boy; you'll end by my hands as your brother and father were ended by yours. Prepare yourself, girl! You've gotten yourself into a bigger mess than you can handle!" The horrible woman shrieked, her voice growing higher and higher with the rage building up in her body. Her black eyes were shifting about with the insanity she harbored. With a final angry snarl from her human lips, she burst into a mangled mess of dirty white fur. Claws that were encrusted with dried blood jutted out from her now gnarled wolfish paws; the flaky blood was splattered all over her fur, mostly around her paws and she looked simply dirty with the mess of the encrusted blood. She reeked of rot and iron. Her feet burst into paws as well, and they were covered in more mud then blood. Her face lengthened into sharp pointed muzzle. Whiskers jutted out from her curled maw and her blackened rotting teeth could be easily seen even from where the wolf's opponent stood. A thin angled mess of a tail twitched insanely behind her. Her hateful black eyes were narrowed angrily with some of her unkempt fur obscuring the view. Tsuki watched, her red eyes glistening with the upcoming fight.
"K-keep your distance, Tsuki…"
"Y-Yeah…" With those final words, she raised her weapon and fired a shot of soul wavelength. Kakou snarled and ducked, lowering herself onto all fours. Tsuki fired another arrow and Kakou rolled to the side, dodging the arrow with ease. Annoyed, the meister fired a messy barrage of more soul wavelength arrows into the air, hoping the endless flurry would take her out, but she just shot forward, dodging the concentration of wavelength. The she-wolf slammed into Tsuki, making her fly back and crash into a wall. Tsuki landed back first onto the wall. She coughed up a bit of blood from her mouth from the sheer force that she hit the wall with and a bit dribbled down the back of her head. With a wheeze, she fell to the ground, holding her head with one hand and trying to look up. Her eyes were darting about, trying to focus. There was three of everything and everything was swirling with fuzzed images. Something slithered across her vision with a sliver of white color. Tsuki dropped her weapon to put her other hand on her head. Her eyes were wide and she didn't hear anything being yelled at her. She resisted the urge to scream to relieve herself of the pain and confusion surrounding her. She whimpered softly, closing her eyes to escape the disorder. Whispers and jeers jabbed her insides left and right, making her topple over with the ache of insanity burning every fiber of her being.
"Tsuki! Tsuki! What's going on? GET UP! We can't do this right now!"
The girl whimpered softly as she heard Taiyou crying out to her; she needed to help him…It was her job and promise to him. All the pain made her sanity shriek as she simply twitched her fingers in response. The urge to scream was becoming unbearable.
"M-Make it go away…It hu-urts…I ca-an't stand it! Taiyou!" She whispered softly, tightly curling up to protect herself. Everything was echoing around her with a horrible hiss of pleasure. Tsuki writhed with the burning feeling of torture inside her. Her every movement was riddled with the ridicule of failure from the hundreds of invaders in her body. Bai watched with those gleaming eyes of molten gold. It burned her body like real melted gold was being poured all over her. She hissed, joining her companions in mocking her victim slowly until she screamed for the snake to silence her sickening screeches. Her voice that was as smooth as honey dripped with acid in her ear as she murmured her soft jibes.
"You'll jussst fail him. You know what failure meansss? What'll happen to him? To all you love and hold clossse? It will only end in their deathsss. " The snakes echoed her words, lengthening every lengthened 's' with pleasure. "I won't die though, Tsssuki…I'm the only one who won't abandon you when death comesss….I can make you like me…it takesss only your sanity." As the snake spoke to the motionless girl, she spied the tears forming in her eyes. "No…Don't cry, Tsssuki…I'm going to make it painlessss…Jussst sssay yesss…."
"Get out! I don't want this! STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS! I WON'T LET YOU!" The girl screamed, trying to move, but finding herself anchored to the ground by some unknown force of gravity. She struggled, her eyes becoming wild with the fear of being restrained. More words flew out her mouth, but it was just an endless string of endless tangled words that made sense to nobody. Bai hissed menacingly with her gold eyes narrowing with rage.
"I'm going to get it. Your sssanity is mine. It alwaysss wasss and alwaysss will be sssince the time we met and until the time you die. I can take it the easssy way, or the hard way," A wave of stinging pain burnt her every cell, making her scream loudly in pain. "It'sss your choice, Tssuki, but your time isss wasssting…I'll ssshow you what happensss when you defy my wissshesss..."
Taiyou watched uselessly as his partner and sister screamed and twisted across the ground weakly. Her delicate cries of help crashed against his ears like a tidal wave, but he could not assist her when he was in the middle of the intense brawl between him and his mother. He resorted to staying close to her so he could move quicker if needed. Her claws ripped against the metal that covered his arm. The little metal plates that covered his arms were dotted in designs of the sun, much like his other weapon forms, but spikes jutted out the knuckles so he could go on the offensive as well as defensive. He threw a punch at her, scraping softly against her matted fur and catching a little bit of the tangled mess of fur in his claws. The beast let out an angered snarl and slammed her back against the wall, squashing her son between a brick wall and 150+ pounds of muscle and grime. The stench was unbearable and Taiyou gasped for air weakly, but his lungs were being pressed on and it made it impossible to breathe. He squirmed, trying to free himself, but his armor was caught in her fur too badly. He yanked and yanked in a failed attempt to make her loosen her grip. When all seemed to stop and the sun was sure he was going to take his last breath, she released him. The sweet air around him invaded his parched lungs with the delicious burn of relief. His silver eyes caught a flash of red color fly by his head as he heard his mother snarl in rage.
That boy from earlier, Leroux, was hovering just above the ground. A pair of Iron greaves donned his feet and large blue crystal snowflakes were accented by his knees and the top of the greaves while two more were on the bottom of the sole of the shoe. More snowflake crystals were embedded in the smooth metal. A moving layer of frosty air was hovering the boy. He stood coolly, seemingly unconcerned about his ferocious opponent. His flaming locks and tie flapped softly with the air moving under him. "Yo," he greeted, kicking one leg out in annoyance. A small smirk formed on his face. "Didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit girls?" Taiyou's mother hissed in rage.
"It doesn't matter if you're a woman as well." Leroux blinked and looked at Kakou.
"You're a woman?" A snarl of fury verified that point. "Well, that was unexpected…I should've come up with a better retort…" He put his fingers to his lips, trying to think of another snappy remark to throw at her. "Did you know that- No, that's stupid… Hm…." The she wolf snapped at him with her mighty teeth, intent on taking a chunk of his flesh out. Her teeth only snapped through thin air though. Leroux had hovered higher, still thinking. " What about…? No no no…That won't work."
"COME HERE BOY!"
"YOUR MOM!" He shouted at the wolf suddenly, unable to think of a good comeback. Taiyou sighed… What a teenager… He took his leave and crawled over to Tsuki, who still struggled about on the ground. Her moans and groans of pain were growing ever louder and those horrid black marks on her arms were beginning to form as well and were racing up her arm. Her forehead was drenched with a mixture of sweat and blood that dripped down her once perfectly made-up face. Her lips were dried and cracked. The sight was pitiful. Taiyou pet her head, trying to silence those miserable moans.
More souls were encircling the two, seven at the most, and all Afreet eggs. He growled lowly and lashed out, missing. His target jumped back and growled. Taiyou surveyed his surroundings. There were seven wolves around them, all resembling each other with the crazy black eyes and waves of insanity rolling off of them. They were decent sized, nothing exceptional. He began to rise, but behind him, Tsuki stirred. He looked back and the wolves took advantage of his momentary lapse of silence. Two leapt, going for The Sun's throat, but they were choked before they could get to their destination.
Tsuki's arms flew forward and clamped around their neck with such a grip, their windpipes were crushed almost instantaneously. They went limp and imploded on the ground. Their souls bobbed there, waiting for someone to gobble them up. A wide grin slunk slyly across Tsuki's lips slowly, spreading silently across her face woth a sickly sadistic expression. Her canines glittered and were longer than usual and tapered to a sharpened point. Her soul wavelength was pulsing in the air around her with so much power, anybody could sense it. She looked up and Taiyou caught a glance of slit golden irises. Without a sound, she shot herself at the dogs, making quick work of them. She crashed her nails into their weak spots, suck as their noses and throats as well as hamstrings. Blood flew everywhere, spattering the pale wall with pitter patters of goopy blood. She shredded fur and ripped muscles in her rampage, taking pleasure in their yelps of pain and cries of horror. In only a few seconds, the girl had taken care of the whole group and seven red souls bobbed to and fro around her. Her grin hadn't faltered though, and she clicked her teeth in anticipation as more and more dogs surrounded her. She made quick works of them as she had done to their brethren. Three more unfortunate souls joined the seven. Tsuki eyed the souls with interest and reached out to grab one.
Taiyou tackled her down, trying to restrain her from eating them. She screeched and screamed, biting at his throat and struggling wildly. She ripped and tore his skin in her fit of insanity, making the white haired boy lose blood, but he held tight, waiting for it to fade. Her struggled became weaker and the tattoos on her faded and the golden hue in her eyes left, leaving the normal crimson color. She went limp, passing out. Taiyou breathed out and released his grip. He lay on his back and released all thoughts and went limp as well. His breaths slowed down and blood poured from the wounds on his neck and arms and chest. A nap sounded good…a nice long nap sounded really nice… His eyes fluttered shut and he fell into a state of unconsciousness.
Creepy Chapter… o.o I didn't know I had it in me… Anyway, I have some spots open for OCs!
After reading a few of the reviews, people wanted more original scenes. Lucky for you, It all clicked in my head! But instead of making my own OCs, I thought I might ask for a few from you guys! Now…To make this easy on me, I will have a form and three pretty simple rules.
1: SEND THEM IN VIA PM (Private message)
It's a bit annoying when I get them in Reviews. It makes it easier for me to just skim thought my messages and find them. Any in the Reviews will not be accepted.
2: USE THE FORM
Come on guys…it's there for a reason…
3: DON'T COPY OR MAKE SUES
If there's one thing I hate, its people who steal characters, and be sure to include some flaws (Like…Tsuki gets beat up a lot and is borderline insane. Just little stuff like that.)
Other than that, go wild!
