Ashi: -Mumbling to self with textbook at hand-
Aschlyn: …..Looks like it's finally catching up to her. ^_^;
Ashino: You mean the CRCT-murrrf!
Aschlyn: Don't say it outloud! We don't need any more rants right now!
Ashino: True…..let's just bring in Luke for the disclaimer for this chapter
Luke: -Ninja poofs in- Alright, DeathhunterAshi does not own Tales of the Abyss or any Naruto references in this story! Those belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Namco Bandai! She does, of course own Aschlyn, Mikame, Katsuya, Sakaichi, Yuuto, and Ashton!
Aschlyn: Right, now on with the story!
Chapter 11
(You already know who's POV by now)
The week went by pretty quickly and soon, it was time for me to go back to Baticul. Saka and Yuu saw me off at the Kimlascan side of Chesedonia.
"Waaah, Aschy, promise you'll come by more often, oy!" Saka said while hugging me tightly (I had already changed back into my standard outfit.)
"Take care, okay?" Yuu said while ruffling my hair again.
"I will, see ya guys!" I said, giving the two brothers a hug and then running onto the ferry, heading back to Baticul.
Finally, I walked to the elevator where it would take me to the upper levels of Baticul. I, All of a sudden, turned around as I heard somebody call my name. I saw a certain blond running towards me with a grin on his face and it was who I thought it was and I grinned as well.
"Guy! Long time no see; I'm back from my trip in Chesedonia!" I shouted and waved while Guy ran up to me and hopped on the elevator.
"Hey, it's been a while Aschlyn, how was Chesedonia?" Guy asked as the elevator went up to where as we say, the kings, queens, and nobles reside.
"Busy, I was pretty much working most of the time with Saka and Yuu at the shop, and I saw Anise three days ago too." I said as the elevator stopped and we walked back to the manor.
Well inside of you, approached your arms dyed purple
Not lie in the gap of the heart go "Believe me"
Let it lick decoy kneeling with your legs if you wish, also
As You Like, It is also our words what you want
"Huh…..this voice….." I mumbled as me and Guy ran ahead to Luke's room and saw him behind, sitting at the window, singing.
Compassion, that was present in the letter of petals
Without a doubt why
I'm just your friendly stranger gentle indolence
Talking with your loved one, to shout at that being means I can get past it
Even about to be condemned to? How good have you become your favorite
Even if it is satisfied only go to your near
If wounds become, "carved into them carelessly"
That is your love instead of hatred
But you undermining your hidden desires of us dressed in colorful
Dying and bitterness bleeding out soon I was looking at the Scenery
That is bound to us, that rainbow eyes, The clematis grows well
You will only be suited to compete to a flower, Don't you Agree
Even sorrow, blame your betrayal
Why not say anything
If he was cursing and saw through scorn
If you have to cry now been abandoned
What a terrible way out I'll even come to hate you if you
Steal that it was much to live in without damaging your genuineness
If you are fascinated, "let me touch it near the original one"
Love is real alternative to that
Even if about to be condemned to anyone how good you become your favorite
Disappeared here or want to solve this feeling remains in at least
If the strain of the wound "carved into them carelessly"
Because you will always remember that love
After the song, Luke turned around and grinned brightly and tackled me to the ground.
"Asch, you're back! You're finally back!" Luke shouted happily as he hugged me even tighter than before.
"H-Hey Luke…..would you mind getting off me thought? It's not really enjoyable if your gonna choke me to death….." I said as Luke got off of me, pouting.
You know what; I'm not even going to question the pouting, just not right now.
"So, what have you guys been doing in my absence?" I asked as the three of us sat on one of the trees in the back of Luke's room.
I had went ahead and gave one of the maids a letter saying that I was back from my trip and that I was already "getting ready for Luke's next lessons." Heh, its break time right now, the three of us are relaxing right now.
"Well, besides training with Guy, being forced to study, and practicing the guitar, it was pretty boring." Luke said while leaning against the tree.
"Don't forget that Princess Natalia was looking for you again." Guy said while laughing a little.
"You mean the Blond Banshee of TERROR? Geeze, you'd hope she'd get the idea that you don't remember anything." I said while writing something down.
This "something" being and Oyako fic between Kratos and Lloyd. Hey, I couldn't help that I'm a sucker for anything cute. Screw you.
Luke practically fell off the branch, laughing so hard that his face turned red.
"B-Blond Banshee of TERROR? It describes her perfectly!" Luke gasped in-between breaths.
I chuckled a bit before going back to my Oyako fic, wondering about what to put next for chapter 3 of the fan-fiction.
Like last week, this week flew through like Konoha's Yellow Flash and it was week 3, the week of judgment. I strapped on my sword and the kunai and shuriken pouch to my belt and leg and grabbed my guitar.
"Today's the day. The mission that will change us and Luke forever." I thought as I walked out and met Luke and Guy outside the manor to go to the castle.
The three of us talked a little, but then grew silent as we walked into the Audience room and saw Tear, Jade, Natalia, King Ingobert, and Alfhine. They talked about the condition of Akzeriuth and the miasma and how Luke and was going to be an ambassador for Kimlasca. I frowned, knowing what was going to happen soon.
When all of us left the castle, Anise, Katsuya, and Ashton came running towards us with a panicked look on their face.
"Guys! Guys! The princess got kidnapped! The princess got KIDNAPPED!" Katsu said in fear.
I stared at her for five seconds while everyone else (save Jade) looked like they were about to panic.
"Let me guess, Ion got kidnapped (the Princess) by the Dark Wings and is now being handed over to by the Oracle Knights, Sync the Tempest, Largo the Wild, and Asch the Bloody?" I said while everybody stared at me. "Let's just go save him already!"
We were well on our way to save the Damsel in Distress-I mean Ion, when a certain annoyance came through.
"Princess Natalia, what are you doing here?" I asked as said Princess appeared at the scene, irritated that I disturbed her OH SO PERFECT entrance.
"How did you know I was here?" Natalia demanded. And no, I didn't mean asked, I meant DEMANDED.
"Natalia, you should know by now that I'm a ninja. I thought I clarified that when I decided to work at the manor." I said boredly as the blond-haired banshee's face grew red in embarrassment and anger.
Argument after argument, we were finally forced to take Natalia with us through the Abandoned Factory.
Either way, she was ANNOYING. Seriously, not even Luke was that annoying. Sure, he was whinny, but not that annoying.
"No….I must now blow up…I must now blow up….I must not do anything rash…." I mumbled under my breath while everyone else made small talk with one another.
"This place is filthy, We should hurry so that we can get through." Natalia said as if "she" was the leader of the group.
"Geeze, what a pompous princess. She needs to put her foot where his mouth is." Katsu said with a frown on her face as I nodded.
When I monster came towards us, I sidestepped and slashed at it, making it fall to the ground in weakness at my new move. "Diminuendo!" I shouted as it fell dead to the ground.
Soon enough, as soon as we almost got to the exit, an oil-like (more like covered) fell in front of us. Ashton took Kiseki and put it on the ground, as wind picked up around it as it grew larger and claws as well. Everyone took out their weapons as I took a leaf out of the Uchiha's book as I did the hand signs and put my fingers to my lips in an "o" position.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" I yelled as a grand fireball blew from my lips and at the oil monster, catching it on fire and burning it down into a crisp, well at least I thought I did. It left the monster severely burned, but it reared its ugly Arachnid head as it rushed towards me and I dashed to the side and started to chant.
"Destroy thy ability to hurt, Sound Bind!" I yelled out as music lines bound the Abbadon and damaging it as Luke ran up to the monster, yelling Fang Blade as Guy executed a Crescent Strike.
"Alright Anise, let's do a combo attack!" "I've got it Ashton!" "Take this! BREAKING FEVER!" They both shouted as they executed the move, throwing the monster into the air with an uppercut and they summoned shooting stars to attack it and ended with a Primary Lotus style move, thus ending the monster once and for all.
"Come on! Let's go!" I yelled, running towards the exit.
As expected, it was raining outside and the Oracle Knights with Ion were heading towards the Tartarus. My eyes narrowed into a glare as I saw the teal-haired and crimson eyed Mikame turn towards us with a sharky grin on her face.
"Well well well…Long time no see, old friend. I thought you would never come back here, all because of your stupid, little, stepmother." She said, grinning with that insane look on her face, more than enough to piss me off!
Before anyone could stop me, I unsheathed my sword and ran towards Mikame, yelling at her as fire enveloped around my sword.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" I shouted as I felt my sword cut into Mikame's flesh, my eyes blind with rage.
"Fang Blade! Diminuendo! Sword Rain! This ends now!" I shouted, slashing at the God-general.
All she did was keeping on dodging my wild slashes when I slipped on the grass, but regained my footing as she disappeared for a split second.
"! Where did she go?" I thought as I looked around, trying to sense her presence, but everything in my mind was still fuzzy.
"Did you really think you could stop me, old friend?" I heard her say as I turned around too late as her scythe cut into my side, the same one from that day.
"Heh, you're still weak, Asch. Next time, don't hold back." She said as I fell to the ground, coughing up blood as it blended, along with my tears in the rain.
"Damn it….damn it all!" I screamed, even as I fell into unconsciousness….
When I woke up, I was in a maze-like place, it was dark and warm, yet it felt familiar at the same time. Like I've been here before…
"It took you long enough to get here, idiot." A voice said from behind me.
"Who's there?" I shouted into the darkness as a girl with ice-blue hair and blood red eyes with my outfit, only black walked in.
"You should know by now from all those fan-fiction by now. I'm your conscious, but feel free to call me Dark Asch." She said while grinning.
The first thing I thought when she introduced herself was, "Oh hell no. She's getting a new name as soon as I think of one.
Well, this was a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be. Anyway, the song for this one is called Clematis by Valshe. I'm telling you though, writing Mikame is not a fun thing to do, she is a creepy as crap! -||||
Anyway, I need some suggestions as to what Dark Asch's (A.K.A, ) name should be. You can give me some suggestions for when chapter 12 comes around. Anyway, don't forget to rate and review! Ja ku ne!
