Week 1: day 4:
Chapter 14: Truth and distrust:
Darla spoke to Sanae in a pleased tone with a large smile on her face "Thanks for the lift. We'll see ya again sometime.", Yuki stayed silent and tried to be as far away from the 'Producer' as she could. It was hard to believe Darla yanked off her gloves to find that they were severely hurt. Yukiko had no trust or respect for Darla now...
"Let's finish quickly if thats ok with you." said Darla in a subdued tone, Yuki guessed she was still startled to find why Yuki had her gloves never taken off. Yukiko wondered if she did live on the streets or something?
Yuki followed Darla absently with anger brewing in her, what right did Darla have to take off her gloves?! She was nudged by Darla as she spoke "I said should I locate the Taboo Noise?", Yukiko growled and made a irritated nod in which she did not care. Darla took out her Pin and asked Yuki "Say... Can I see your Player Pin for a moment?".
Yukiko tossed her Pin to her and muttered harshly "Knock yourself out Darlene.", Darla heisiated a moment before she observed at each of the Player Pins. Just a second later Darla proclaimed "My! Your Pin looks different.", Yuki shifted her eyes to see what Darla had to show.
For some reason she saw that her Pin had a dent in it as well as a scratch on it which the colour of the Pin was taken off a bit, she never studied her Pin closely before since she hated using it. She wondered if anyone else before her used it.
"You're right?" exclaimed Yuki curiously as she took her Pin back, suddenly she had felt a little dizzy as she held her Pin. Darla had a smirk as she talked "This Pin must be a dud. I can take it if you want me to.".
Yukiko shook her head and retorted "I'll keep this one no thanks to you.", she flicked a strand of her spiked pale orange hair which had a slight curliness to it and spoke "If I got this one by accident, then I'll have this burden to deal with myself.". She sighed as Darla shrugged and used her Pin. Yukiko checked the timer on her palm to see they had 20 minutes left.
'Good.' she thought, she saw Darla flinch as she finished useing the Pin. Darla made a sigh of relief before she remarked while she faced Yukiko "There's only one Taboo Noise in the area.", she giggled a bit before she boasted "I bet you can deal with it without me. You should fight It while I relax.".
Yukiko cringed and spat at her in rage "What!", she raised her fists as she snapped in sheer rage "What makes you so special that you can't fight it with me? We have a pact.". Darla chuckled in a eerie way while her eyes glinted "I hauled you around all day. I should be the one who does not fight.", she grinned as she sneered "Unless you're too weak to do it.".
"I'll do it idiot." she snapped back in rage, she clentched her fists and faced while stepping up to her in her face "You'll see that you're wrong you idiot!". She spun around recklessly and boldly yelled "Only me!", she grunted in rage as she saw a black Noise symbol appear in front of her.
She narrowed her dark brown eyes while her gloved hands were raised in a defensive guard like way, Yukiko knew that Darla was a twit and she needed to be taught a lesson when she blindly saw Yukiko for what she was.
Yukiko was transported to the area if battle, she suddenly knew that Darla deliberately wanted her to battle alone for some reason.
She sensed Darla nearby but she must have been hiding, Yukiko saw the same type of Taboo Noise from yesterday with it's fangs shown to be jutting out, drool came out of it's mouth as it made a dreadful howl that sounded like glass and ice breaking at the same time.
"Gah!" she gasped as the wolf had swatted her away with it's large paw, suddenly it came charging at her in extreme speed as she recoiled with a roll to the side. She gasped as she saw it charge for her again, she quickly spoke one of her Pin's names and hues the pulses of deep purple appeared on her hands as the wolf lunged for her.
As it nearly hit her she dashed to it and punched with both of her hands at it in the face, from the aftershock of the Midnight Strike Pin's ability it was thrown into the air as a cloud of the explosion appeared in it's place.
"Alright." she said as she had to move out of the way as it crashed nearby, she spun around to face it again but this time it bashed into her. She wished to see one of Darla's Pin abilities but nothing came, she fumed on how selfish Darla was and such a idiot she was. Yukiko was hurled into a wall which made a sickening thud, she groaned from pain as she noticed the Taboo Noise stalk towards her.
"Help me." she called out to Darla when she found the bleak faded image of her, her hope faltered when Darla did not make a move to help her. The Taboo Noise suddenly with it's jaws picked her up and hurled her away again.
What was Darla thinking? Darla was her partner that should look after her? Right...? Yukiko suddenly saw Darla's silhouette move towards the Taboo Noise, a beam of light hit it like a sword slash shape would be like. After that a shadowy beam of light hit it.
Yuki got up and thought of a Pin to use silently, she felt warmth in her gloved hands as energy flowed through her body like a river all going to one source. Her hands were now ablaze in reddish orange flares as her Blaze Fissure Pin was activated, she smirked as she dashed over to the wolf Taboo Noise and slammed at it with her fists.
Suddenly flames sprouted from where she hit and fissures followed after as the flames crept along with it, the Taboo Noise suddenly stopped moving and a sound of something shattering filled the air that was soundless.
Yukiko leapt back beside a bleak image of Darla and watched absently as the Taboo Noise shattered into many tiny light particles, it made one final howl before it was erased. Yukiko felt her body was very stiff and was in agonizing pain. The flashes of light filled her vision as she and Darla was transported back.
"That went well." remarked Darla happily like nothing bad happened, but Yukiko sensed something bad about her which made her blood turn cold.
"Great job Yuki." chirped Darla with a smile, Yukiko stayed silent and kept a blank absent look. She felt uneasy towards Darla and no friendliness, she felt that Darla was not to be trusted.
"C'mon Yuki." said Darla in a pleading tone while her eyes sparkled with happiness, "Say something.". Yukiko looked into Darla's eyes and only said "Thanks. I could not of defeated the Noise without your help.", she tried to look at her timer only to find it was gone. Darla suddenly hugged her which made Yukiko pissed off, she retorted "Let go of me you idiot!".
"Hey, let's celebrate." said Darla finally with a giggle, she sighed with relief as Yukiko glared at her "My treat. It's the least I can do.".
Yukiko did not trust her... She couldn't... Something told her to just not trust her...
...
Neku shot a shower of fire balls at the last Taboo Noise, he watched as the blazes hit the Taboo Noise hard as it howled in agony. It suddenly stopped moving and shattered into tiny particles of light, suddenly a very vivid light flashed into Neku's eyes that hurt them, he had to shut his eyes tightly closed to avoid from becoming blind like Ayumu.
They were back in Dogenzaka and Neku checked his timer, he let out a big sigh of relief when he saw it was gone. They finished the mission very quickly in record timing.
"Yori." said Neku as he turned to Yori who had a blank expression in his pale blue eyes, Neku blinked as he asked kindly "Can you tell me now what's going on with you?". Yori heisitated a long time before he made a nod and spoke "I guess it is time Neku.", Yori's scrawny body was shivering a bit before he asked in a nervous voice "Can you judge me fairly after I tell you?".
Neku nodded as his blue gray eyes were filled with warmth "Of course.", Yori seemed to let out a relieved sigh which made Neku feel this was a hard burden for him to have.
Yori walked to a nearby bench to sit down and Neku slowly joined him while he was relieved he would know the truth finally, as Neku sat down he took off his headphones so he would not make a distraction for himself.
Neku felt that Yori was very nervous about this, as he sat slumped on the bench he saw Yori was taking out his unique phone which looked fairly brand new. Neku sat up straighter as Yori began to explain thoroughly "Like I said before, I have a girlfriend.".
Yori let out a nervous sigh as he went on nervously "I bet you wondered why I'm very smart for my age and all.", Neku made a curt nod as he intently listened to his partner "I trust you won't be too negative when I tell the truth.".
Neku assured his partner calmly "I won't. We'll be still partners-", he added quietly "And friends.". He saw his partner nod looking more relaxed now.
"This picture should tell you everything." said Yori as he passed his mint condition phone over to Neku who was unaware of what the photo was, as he held the phone he gasped a bit at what he saw.
On the photo was the girl Sammy, she had blond hair with pretty blue eyes that shined warmly. She was resting her arm over another boy's shoulder who was slightly taller but not that much, his russet hair looked a bit spiked and sleeked down. What made Neku really know what Yori was trying to explain was the boy had the same glasses as Yori with the identical pale blue eyes.
Sammy was wearing a white blouse with a silk sky blue scarf with skinny jean pants, she had her hair in a pony tail which was the length of her neck. While the boy was wearing a white t-shirt with a thin grey vest, he had shorts that was brown.
The boy was holding what seemed to be a mint condition phone which he held up to show, that phone was the same as Yori's...
"That's you..." said Neku startled a bit as he looked up at Yori who returned his shock with sadness, Neku felt confused suddenly that overwhelmed him a bit absurdly. He did not know what to say.
Neku shook his head in disbelief as he asked Yori puzzled "How could this be?", Neku wished he could stop acting like this but he could not for some reason. Yori shifted his hands as he was speaking and replied solemnly "I don't know really. But...".
Yori's eyes were filled in pain as he talked "I met this boy who was talking about the 'Reaper game half a month ago.", he shook his head a bit looking like he did not want to talk about it.
Neku nudged him and Yori sighed before he continued sadly "He had his little sister with him at the time. I think their names were Beat and Rhyme. He told me that he was glad his sister was with him. He said that he nearly lost her cause of a entry fee.".
Yori paused to straighten his glasses which started to fog up, he started again "I think a entry fee is something you cherish a lot but is lost when you enter the game, from what it sounded like to me of what Beat said...".
Neku looked at him with surprise and asked "So it's something very important is lost to enter this game.", he blinked a bit before he muttered "That means...".
"It means my entry fee was what I was." said Yori sadly with a tear that ran down his cheek, Neku was confused once again. Neku urged with a question "So you are that boy in the photo. That means you lost what you looked like?".
"Yes." said Yori with a sad sigh, "What I am wearing now is what I wore on my day of my death. But it is really what I wore that day when I was 12 and a half that year and day.". Neku had good feeling of what he meant but not really much. Yori looked at him and stated dryly "I'm really 17 and a half.". (I hope you understand what I am trying to say).
"So that means you're smart cause you're older than me?" asked Neku curiously as Yori responded with a nod, Neku nodded to himself as he understood a little more. Yori nodded and spoke sadly "I'm sorry I kept this from you. Do you forgive me?".
Neku hesitated a moment before he replied in a cool tone "Yes... This must have been hard for you to tell me this...", Neku ran on of his hands over his spiky bright orange hair before he handed back the phone after he turned it off.
What Yori said made Neku think about his odd memory loss, something about it was not normal to him. It made him think of Yukiko too, did she lose her memories too?
"What I did to Sammy..." said Yori crestfallen while he looked at his phone's photo in his hands, "Was very wrong... Wasn't it?". Yori sighed sadly and looked at Neku for a reply, Neku nodded while he put his headphones back on.
"Maybe you should apologize to Bruce and Sammy." suggested Neku cooly hoping that Yori could fix up what he did wrong, Neku saw Yori nod slowly with a grim expression. He watched as Yori get up suddenly and speak not even bothering to look at Neku "I'll be back. I guess I should do the right thing.".
Neku watched as Yori ran off in a direction in a rush, Neku stayed sitting on the bench not to go after him. Knowing this was for Yori to do himself he turned to make his legs go on the bench, he lay on the bench and closed his eyes.
...
Later his phone vibrated and Neku jerked awake startled, he yanked his phone out of his shorts pocket and looked at the message 'Go to the Scramble Crossing to see your Ranks. If you avoid coming or lose your partner; you will face erasture by the 'Reapers.'.
Neku looked around in a panic, he was frightened that Yori would not come and he would be erased. But he saw Yori running to where he lay on the bench, Yori sputtered franticly "Neku! We need to get to the Scramble Crossing now!".
Neku muttered sleepily "Did you fix up your mistake?", he was suddenly pushed off the bench by Yori who was in rage. Yori nodded "Yeah. Bruce did punch me in the gut three times but he forgave me after he gloated to himself. Sammy forgave me too, but did not hit me.".
"Good..." yawned Neku as he got up, he looked at Yori and murmured "Let's go...".
Hope you enjoyed the chapter... To be continued...
