"Yuki!" Mikuo called while pulling his dark green jacket on. "I'm coming Nii-chan! I'm almost ready!" Yuki's adorable voice called from the bathroom. Mikuo sighed.
"Why do girls ALWAYS take so long to change?" Mikuo thought to himself.
"Do you need any help changing Yuuuki?" Nero asked dreamily only to be hit on the head roughly my Mikuo. "
Your such a disgusting creep." Mikuo mumbled.
"I'm Dooooone!" Yuki sang as she ran down the dark green stairs and when she got to Nero and Mikuo their eyes widen with amazement. YUKI LOOKED ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
Her long Pink fluffy coat looked almost like a dress, down to her pale knees, covering her red dress that she wore underneath. The fluffy and adorable looking gloves made her adorable hands look like they were a kittens, her little white scarf around her neck and resting on her chin was just as cute as can be. She even had a pair of warm silky white tights on her legs and a pair of light green boots that Mikuo wore when he was a little kid. Yuki looked like an adorable teddy bear that you would invite for a tea party!
Nero squealed. "SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE! SO CUTE!" He squealed over and over again about to pounce on her but Mikuo held him back.
"Calm down you Hentai!" Mikuo shouted even though he felt like pouncing on Yuki too.
Yuki just smiled and giggled cutely. "Nii-chan, Oni-chan, can we go now I don't want to keep him waiting!" She said excitedly. Mikuo nodded his head and smiled while still holding back the lemon head perv who still kept struggling to squeeze Yuki in another death grip.
"OH!" Yuki exclaimed making Nero and Mikuo look up. "I almost forgot!" Yuki then looked and Mikuo with pleading puppy dog eyes. "Nii-chan can I pleeeeeeaaaaseeee go back up stairs? I forgot something…." She pleaded cutely. Nero smiled widely and his nose began to bleed. Mikuo gulped, Yuki's cuteness was too much for him.
"Y-Yes you can!" Mikuo quickly said, trying very hard not to pounce on innocent little Yuki. Yuki smiled widely. "Thank you!" She happily shouted and ran back up stairs to get what she had forgotten.
Nero still kept struggling trying to run after Yuki but Mikuo punched his spine and spun him around until he got dizzy and fell to the marble ground. Mikuo then crouched down and grabbed Nero's front jacket and yelled angrily.
"Listen you perv!" Mikuo spat angrily in Nero's face. Nero growled. "Don't spit." He dryly said. Mikuo growled. "Whatever! I know Yuki looks really cute and everything but…" Nero smirked. "HAH! You just admit it! Yuki really is too much for you!" He laughed proudly.
Mikuo growled and shook Nero by his shirt. "LISTEN MAN! YOU JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF YUKI! YOUR REALLY STARTING LOOK LIKE A HUNGRY PSYCHOPATH!" Mikuo shouted.
Nero rolled his eyes. "Well at least I'm not a green haired kidnapper." Nero shot back. Mikuo was about to punch Nero when Yuki came back down. "I. AM. BAAAAACCCCK!" Yuki sang happily skipping into hallway were Mikuo and Nero waited. Her cute pony tails bounced in the air as she skipped making Nero wanting to hug her more so the only way for Mikuo to hold him back was to sit on his back even if it meant crushing his delicate spine.
Mikuo smiled at Yuki like nothing was happening and spotted a large piece of parchment rolled up in Yuki's slender arms making him raise his green eyebrows. "What's that Yuki?" He asked. Yuki smiled. "Oh this?" Yuki asked looking at the parchment rolled up in her arms.
"I drew a picture just for my friend as an apology! He just LOOOOOVES pictures!" She gushed. Mikuo smiled. "Yuki….." Nero whined trying to get Mikuo's bony but off him but the more he struggled the harder Mikuo sat on him. Yuki tilted her head. "Nii-chan why are you on Oni-chan?" She asked.
Mikuo smiled widely.
"Oh he just has a big bug on him that's all."
"Yeah a big ugly green beetle." Nero moaned. Mikuo sat harder on Nero. "Come on lets go!" Mikuo then said. And with that the trio made their way out of the house only after Mikuo put a spike collar on Nero so he wouldn't pounce of Yuki. And Nero cried the whole way longing to hold the innocent and adorable Yuki in his arms
"A what?" Len asked in confusion and tilting his head, wondering what the heck Rin meant by "His very own Guardian Soul demon."
Rin growled. "Are you that dense, you idiot! She shouted. Len blinked, "I-I don't know what you mean by a….demon…soul guardian….whatcha-hoosits." He said. Rin growled again and let go of his shoulders. "Honestly you humans are so stupid when it comes to super natural stuff." She moaned. Len pouted. "Well pardon me for living!" He growled and looked the other way.
Rin rolled her eyes and turned her attention to the sparkling object on the bed. Her eyes soften. She then placed two fingers on it and she flinched. "Oh no…" She whispered. Len heard her whisper with his sensitive ears and turned his head back to her. "Hm? What's wrong Rin?" He asked. Rin looked at Len with a freaked out expression on her face making him flinch. "R-Rin…?" He asked a bit scared.
Before he knew Rin grabbed his arms and pulled him back onto the bed. His face hit her chest and he flushed. "Wha-What are you doing Rin!" He shouted struggling.
"Your supposed to keep it warm!" Rin shouted.
"Wh-what?" He asked completely confused. He was then turned around facing the wall. "Rin! Stop! What are you doing!" He shouted struggling Rin then grabbed Len's hand making him flush. He struggled more.
"RIN! RIN! RIN! STOOOOP! YOUR STARTING TO FREAK ME OUT!" He shouted. Rin then covered his mouth stopping him from shouting. His eyes widen and he began to muffle.
"Shh…they'll hear you!" Rin whispered. "I want someone to hear me!" He thought still struggling. He then felt something heavy being placed on his chest and he felt Rin's hand pulling away from his mouth and wrapping his slender arms around the thing that heavy and hard on his chest, tightly. "Huh?" Len asked opening his eyes.
Rin had her arms around Len's arms and still held his hand around the heavy object in his arms. His back hit her chest and her chin was on his shoulder. Len blushed. He never ever thought he and a girl (Especially a vampire girl) Would be in a position like this. He felt as though the room lit up to 300 degrees. Len gulped. "R-R-R-R-Rin….?" He whimpered. Rin looked at him like he was an idiot. "Look in your arms." She ordered. Len didn't even pout he slowly looked down to what ever was in his arms.
What was in his arms was the large pearl. It glowed. It glittered. It gleamed with a brilliant light. But it felt ice cold making Len a bit sad that such beauty felt like an icicle, he hugged it tighter trying to keep it warm as if it was a baby that was abandoned or lost stray animal. "Your supposed to keep it warm by hugging it to your heart." Rin said.
Len turned his head as much he could to see Rin's face. He could feel her hot breath on his cheek, making him flush and his heart beat faster. "Her face is so close…" He thought. "It's….so cute." He gulped and began to tremble.
Rin held him closer making him flinch. "It's like an egg Len. Well it is egg, you have to keep it warm by holding it to your heart." She softly said. "Eh?" Len asked still not getting anything. Rin glared at him. "Are you stupid?" she asked. Len puffed out his cheeks childishly. "Meanie…." He thought like a child. She sighed. "Len listen, a Guardian Soul Demon is sorta like a baby chick. You have to keep it warm until it hatches and when it does, it will sorta be like your child but it will guard you with it's life."
Len blinked. "Huh? A child. You mean…I'M A FATHER!" He shouted in shock. he then looked at the egg in his arms with his eyes wide.
"A-AND THIS IS MY CHILD! BUT! BUT I! BUT! BUT I! BUT I'M TOO YOOOOOUUUUUUNG! WHAT AM I GONNA DO! HOW AM I GONNA FEED IT! DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO GO TO SCHOOL! WHAT DOES IT EVEN EAT ANYWAY! DOES THAT MEAN I HAVE TO POTTY TRANE IT OR SOMETHIN'! KYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA! WHAT AM I GONNA DO!" Len began to panic making Rin getting mad. "Len…" She whispered in a scary tone as he kept yelling.
"SHUUUUUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUUP!" She shouted with anger. Then with out warning she grabbed both of Len's wrists roughly. Moved him backwards, pinned Len to the headboard of the blood red queen size bed. the egg landed right next to Len's right hip, still glowing in the moonlight.
Len opened his eyes and found Rin's scary face just inches from his face. It was déjà vu. Len's eyes widen and his face flushed in all shades of red. "Gya! Rin what're you doin' let me go!" Len pleaded struggling fiercely to get out of her grasp.
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP YOU IDIOT!" She shouted making Len freeze. "Your making my ears bleed, and trust me ear blood taste like a dirty foot! So would you just shut your freakin' mouth and let me explain?" She said a bit softly. Len could feel his heart racing but he kept his mouth shut.
"Listen now! You are not a father! This thing is not your child! And for the love of all that is pure and divine in this split universe we all live in, STOP CRYING LIKE YOU'RE A THREE YEAR OLD!" she shouted as tears slowly came from Len's sea blue eyes. He blushed more and sniffed. "I-it's not my fault…" He whimpered. Rin rolled her eyes and let go of Len arms.
He sat up quickly and grabbed the egg all ready feeling a bit motherly or should we say fatherly for the eggs safety. Rin sighed. "If you want that thing to hatch you have to keep warm all the time and it's not that hard trust…I had to do that." She said. Len tilted his head.
"Huh? You mean you have a demon soul guardian thingy?" Len asked innocently. Rin rolled her eyes and didn't feel like correcting him. "Yeah you've already met her." Rin said. Len blinked. "I have?" He asked.
"Guess." Rin said. Len tapped his chin while still holding the egg in arms tightly to warm it up.
"Is it that green haired pigtail women?" Len asked.
"No. That's my cuz Miku." Rin groaned.
"Is it that chibi version of that pigtails women?"
"Nope. She's also my cuz Hatchune.
"Is it Gumi?"
"No."
"That blue haired man?"
"No that's Kaito the ice cream nerd. We call him Bakaito when he screws up."
"Is it Teto?"
"No."
"Haku?"
"No!"
"Neru?"
"HELL NO! SHE IS NOT MY GUARDIAN SOUL DEMON AND I MEAN NOT! SHE'S BUTT UGLY!"
Len winced. "You don't have to shout!" He whined. Rin put her hand on her head sighing. "Man you really are the stupidest human I have ever met." She whispered. Len heard that and puffed out his cheeks.
"Give ya a hint. She's black, she meows, she's loves cream and salmon, and calls me Mistress." Rin explained.
Len put his finger on his chin again and thought about it for awhile and then it hit him.
"Twilight!" He said confidently, hoping he got it right.
Rin clapped her hands mockingly. "Congrats Len, you finally figured it out." She mumbled. Len growled under his mouth.
Rin sighed. She then lifted her right hand just inches from Len's face and balled it up in a fist. Len looked at her hand confusingly. A golden light shined threw the cracks of her fingers. Len watched in amazement. When the light disappeared Rin uncurled her fingers and a cherry red colored lollipop appeared in her hands like magic.
Len gasped. He was completely amazed. He felt as though he was a seven year old boy again and seeing a grand magic show that always confused and amazed him. He stared at the lollipop. "Here." Rin said a bit gently.
Len looked at her. "Take it. Something sweet always calms me down, and since you are my other-half, I'm sure sweets calm you down as well." She said softly. Len stared at her for a moment her lovely blue eyes once again had that beautiful and gentle look in her eyes. Len then smiled warmly.
"Thank you Rin! I love lollipops!" He happily said and took the lollipop, unraveled it and popped it in his mouth, licking it cutely. "I just love cherry flavor!" He childishly said still licking it. Rin smiled gently at him.
"You know not only is he the most stupidest human in the universe but he's also….the cutest." She thought as she continued to watch the cute and innocent human boy in front of her licking his lollipop happily and childishly.
"HEY TAKE THIS COLLAR OFF ME ALREADY!" Nero shouted waving his arms up and down widely like a child. Mikuo rolled his eyes. "Will you be a good boy and leave Yuki alone?" Mikuo asked, soundly like Yuki's big brother.
Nero growled. "You're an evil, evil little kidnapper!" He shouted. Mikuo rolled his eyes and unbuckled the collar around Nero while still walking to Yuki was leading them.
"Nii-chan! Oni-chan! We're here!" Yuki cheered. Mikuo and Nero turned around, half expecting a busted up old house, or a haunting looking mansion, or even a small little play house that little kids always play in, but what they found was something different, something that they've been warn about ever since they were little kids. Something that they have been told where their friend had disappeared into.
It was the dark forest.
Nero and Mikuo stared at it a bit shocked while Yuki just smiled. She then looked at Mikuo and Nero. "Well come on guys! He's waiting for us!" Yuki happily said as began to skip ahead into the forest.
"Yuki wait!" Nero and Mikuo called running in after her. They caught up with Yuki and stopped her from running. She turned around with confused look on her adorable face.
"Nii-chan, Oni-chan, What's wrong?" She asked. Nero picked her up by her waist gently like she was a baby. "Yuki…" He said concerned. "Don't you know this place is dangerous? Come on let's go back." He said about to walk off with her.
"No, Oni-chan! My friend is here! This place isn't dangerous at all! We've been living here together since I was six and he was seven!" She shouted trying wiggle out his arms. "But Yuki…" Nero began.
"Oni-chan I have to talk to him, he's my friend…a-and I can't j-just…" She began to cry. Nero flinched at that. "Hey dude, leave her alone!" Mikuo said as he plucked Yuki out of Nero's grasp and gently back on the snow covered ground.
Mikuo patted Yuki's head. "It's okay Yuki will stay here to find your friend." He gently said. Yuki smiled while sniffling a little. "Really?" She whispered. "Really, really." He promised. "YAY!" Yuki cheered and began to run off happily.
"Wait up Yuki!" Mikuo called still smiling and was about to run after he until Nero put his hand on his friends shoulder to stop him. "Wait Mikuo I don't think this is such a good idea." He said.
"Hey, Yuki's friend is in here and we have to find him!" Mikuo told him.
"Yeah but.."
"Besides, Len's sis also said she saw him run in here, and this is our chance to find him."
"B-But."
"Look if you don't want to come that's fine! Just wait outside of the woods till we come back!" Mikuo said a bit meanly and walked on ahead.
"But Mikuoooooo!" Nero whined not moving from his spot. Nero was actually scared of this place. Once when he was little his older cousins who loved and admired, Satsuki and Himeka; who loved each other very, very much, once went into the forest to retrieve a lost ball they had got for Nero on his fourth birthday. They went in and never came out.
"Mikuo! Yuki! Don't leave me alone!" He whined. Tears began to fill his eyes as he saw Mikuo and Yuki gone. He flinched. "Oh no…." He thought. "I-I-I can't see them anymore." His legs began to shake as the cold wind blew on him. Suddenly a breeze blew by his neck, giving him goose bumps. Then before he had time to think a voice that sounded as sweet as honey whispered in his ear in a scary tone.
"You smell delicious little boy…."
Nero's eyes widen, he felt sweat rolled down his temples, then without the slightest hesitation he screamed and ran off towards the direction where Mikuo and Yuki walked off to.
"Hehehehehe….I love it when they run…." It whispered.
"MIKUO! MIKUO! MIKUO!" Nero screamed as he spotted them he then jumped onto Mikuo's back and squeezed his head like a lemon while accidentally kicking him in his ribs!
"TH-TH-TH-TH-TH-THERE'S A-A-A-A-A-A-A-MONSTER OVER THERE IT THINKS I'M TASTY! IT SAID SO! EAT ME! IT WANTS TO EAT ME!" He wailed, flailed and screamed. Mikuo grabbed Nero's ribs and gave him another karate flip while shouting "GET OFFA ME!"
Nero slowly sat up still all teary eyes. "Stop screwing around, and get your head out of you're butt! Now what the hell are you talking about!" Mikuo angrily shouted , Not noticing Yuki was blushing at the "colorful" words that came from Mikuo's mouth.
Nero sniffed, his eyes went sad puppy dog like. "Th-th-there was a monster….it said I smelled delicious…it….it…it was gonna eat meeeeee…." He whined. "Don't flatter yourself." Mikuo shot. "B-but I'm telling the truth…." Nero whined.
"What are you? A three year old. Dude there are no monsters, the only monsters in the world would be our parents if they found out we were here. Now get you crap together and let's go." Mikuo said not believing a word Nero said.
Nero then flung his arms around Yuki and began to whine. "But I don't wannnnnaaa….this place is scary…" He whined. Mikuo growled. "What a baby." Mikuo thought.
"Don't worry Oni-chan." Yuki's said in her angelic voice while patting Nero's head. Nero looked up and saw Yuki's innocent face looking down upon his. She then smiled. "If that monster comes back, I'll protect you." She said.
Something about Yuki was different. Her once smooth pale skin, now looked as though it was made of clear ice. It looked delicate almost like porcelain. Her silver eyes looked pure white like the snow on the ground and it looked almost as if they were flecked with icicles. Her smiling lips looked like they were made of solid ice, and her lovely black locks looked almost frozen in mid air.
Nero stared at her and slowly moved his hand onto her cheek. Her skin was like ice! "What's wrong Oni-chan?" Yuki asked still smiling. Nero didn't say anything he was too shocked.
Just then he felt something heavy hit him on the head. It was a frying pan held by the angry Mikuo. "How in the world do you sleep at night!" He shouted. "OW!" Nero whined.
"Hey wait a minute, where'd you get a frying pan?" Nero exclaimed. "I took it with me just in case you had any funny ideas!" Mikuo said while beating the pan into the palm of his hands.
Nero growled. Suddenly their was a small squeak from somewhere. Yuki seemed to be familiar with this squeak and turned around.
Out from the bushes came a dark pink colored creature, seven arms with green claw and black eyes that looked like dark chocolates, happily jumping to Yuki.
Yuki smiled widely and ran to the creature with her arms opened wide. "A.J!" Yuki cheered as the creature hopped into her arms hugging it as it hugged her back. The creature was almost the size of a watermelon.
Nero and Mikuo's jaw almost dropped as the saw the creature. "Wh-what the?" They both said in confusion. They never saw a creature like that. Nero elbowed Mikuo arm. "Hey Mikuo.." He asked. "Yeah?" Said to the bewildered Mikuo. "What the heck is that thing?" Nero asked. 'I don't know but it looks like a rabbit crossed with a spider." He said still confused.
Yuki then turned her attention to the bewildered Nero and Mikuo who were still wide eyes. "Oni-chan, Nii-chan this is Apple. Juice! I call her A.J For short." She said cheerfully still clutching the strange creature in her arms.
"I-is that your pet?" Nero asked. Yuki nodded. "Well she's sorta like my pet….it's kinda complicated to explain now." Yuki said with a weak smile. "But isn't she just adorable?" Yuki giggled. The creature giggled as well
"That's the most weirdest looking animal I've ever seen!" Mikuo shouted. Nero then elbowed him in his rib cage. He screeched. "I think it's very cute Yuki!" Nero said happily, obviously out of his horrifying trance. Yuki giggled and then turned her attention back to the pink creature.
"I'm sorry I was gone A.J, You must've been worried sick about me." Yuki apologized while petting it's head. A.J began to squeak in a worried tone as if she was trying to tell Yuki something. Yuki's eyes widen with fear.
"W-what? Are you sure?" She asked. A.J nodded her head. She then jumped out of Yuki's arms, pointed to the east and ran off. Yuki ran off after her.
"Wait Yuki!" Mikuo and Nero shouted running after her.
"Yuki! Where are you going! Get back here this instant!" They called after her but Yuki didn't listen she just kept running after her strange pet.
"Ah man, she's fast!" Nero panted trying to keep up with Mikuo and Yuki. "Your telling me! How can such a small little girl be so fast, she's almost as fast as Len's sis!" Mikuo shouted, already sweating.
"Yuki wait for Oni-chan!" Nero squealed trying to get to Yuki. "YOU SICK PERVERT!" Mikuo shouted, running pat Nero.
"Time to put it in over drive!" Nero shouted and began to run like a track star. Mikuo growled and ran faster.
"I'm gonna get to her first!" Nero shouted.
"Oh no you don't!" Mikuo shouted.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YUKI WAIT UP!" They both shouted in unison trying to get past one-an-other.
Finally Yuki stopped running and so did the creature. Nero and Mikuo both tripped and actually slid across the ground and right by Yuki and A.J.
"Ow…." Nero moaned slowly getting up while rubbing the back of his head. "God, that hurt!" Mikuo screeched strand up as well. They were both panting trying to catch their breath as their hearts felt like they were on fire.
"Y-Y-Yuki…" Mikuo panted turning his attention to Yuki who was staring straight at an usual apple tree.
"Wh-why did you run off like that?" Nero finished still panting. Yuki still stared straight ahead at the tree. "Whoa Nero…" Mikuo said amazed looking up at the apple tree. Nero looked at him. "Whoa what?" He asked.
"The apples on the tree…." He began. "Yeah what about them?" He asked a bit annoyed. "There all different kinds of colors and not green and red, there EVERY color." He said. Nero looked up as well and his eyes widen. Mikuo was right every apple on that tree had apples in all kinds of different colors. It was strange.
"What the hell kind of tree is this?" Nero thought.
"Oni-chan, Nii-chan." Yuki began. Nero and Mikuo slowly looked back at Yuki who was stranding into front of the tree bravely. "What is it Yuki?" They asked her.
"Please…run away if anything strange happens." Yuki said firmly.
Nero and Mikuo paused, they never heard Yuki sound like this.
"Yuki, what are you talking ab-" But before Mikuo could finish, a small male child like voice broke threw the air, interrupting Mikuo.
"Yuki….where were you…what are you doing with those creatures?" It said a bit angrily. A.J flinched and scurried back into Yuki's arms who held her protectively.
"Nero? Did you just hear that?" Mikuo asked, surprised. Nero nodded slowly a bit surprised him self.
Yuki frowned. "This isOni-chan and Nii-chan…they helped me." She said bravely. "Helped you…?" it said again.
From behind the apple tree came a young boy, with red hair, dull red eyes dressed in black and gray rags. It was Ringo.
He slowly turned his head to Yuki, Mikuo and Nero. He smiled a nasty grin and laughed cruelly. Yuki didn't say anything she still had a dry look on her face while Nero and Mikuo were still wide eyes not knowing what was happening.
Ringo stopped laughing and looked back at the trio. "Like these pathetic humans can do anything." He mocked, glaring at the two. "Mikuo what's going on?" Nero asked. Mikuo shook his head. "Don't know…" He said slowly.
"Ringo…" Yuki began. "Your eyes…who did this you?" She asked. Ringo smiled at Yuki and slowly walked up to her.
"Green was never really my color anyway." He chuckled. A.J trembled and hugged Yuki tighter as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Stop your scaring A.J" Yuki said. "Oh?" He said still smiling and looking at the frighten creature. "But I thought she loved me. Your hurting my feelings A.J" He said trying act sad. A.J shut her eyes whimpering. Ringo giggled at that.
"Ringo your not yourself." Yuki said. "Oh but I am, in-fact I'm better then I was before." He sweetly said but in a sickly way. "Yuki…" He began as he moved his hand to her cold cheek. "It's time for you to come home now, I don't want you be with…" He then glared at Mikuo and Nero who despite his young and adorable appearance, shuddered when they saw Ringo's now blood red eyes, glowering at them.
"But Ringo-"
"No buts! Your coming home now!" He yelled grabbing her arm. Nero and Mikuo ran to Yuki and stood in front of her blocking Ringo from touching her.
"Listen brat!" Mikuo scolded at Ringo. "I don't know who you think you are, and I don't give a crap about it! But if you raise your voice again that cute little face of your ain't gonna be so cute anymore!" Mikuo shouted.
"Yeah!" Nero agreed. "Nii-chan….Oni-chan…" Yuki whispered uneasy like.
Ringo's hair hung in his eyes he looked down.
"Get away from her…." He whispered.
"Huh?" Nero asked a bit meanly.
"Get away from her…" He whispered more clearly. The apple trees, branches began to twitch.
"What was that I can't hear you, you twerp?" Nero mocked again.
Ringo looked up. His pupils looked pointy, he clenched his teeth angrily, the tree's braches began to move.
"I SAID GET AWAY FROM HER!" He shouted with rage. A large branch from the tree charged at the two with spikes growing from the wood. Nero and Mikuo's eyes widen. "Wh-what the!" They shouted. The branch began to come closer to them and was about to stab right threw them when a gigantic ice crytal grew out of the ground, shielding them from the branch.
"Huh?" They both whispered wondering what just happened. "Ringo please stop this!" Yuki shouted from behind. She then ran out from behind the two friends and darted to Ringo, leaving A.J behind so she wouldn't get hurt.
"YUKI WAIT!" Nero and Mikuo shouted about to run after he but was stopped when more ice crystals sprouted from the ground around, tapping them. They backed away a bit.
"Wh-what the heck's going on?" Mikuo thought. Nero began to shiver. "Mikuo…" He began. Mikuo turned around to him. "What is it?" He asked. "Are we in one of your dreams right now?" He asked. Mikuo nearly fell down. "JUST WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!" He yelled.
"Th-this isn't real…this has to be a dream right?" Nero asked. Mikuo paused. What if he was right, what if this was a dream, cause how could everything that just happen be real? A strange creature they never meat. A strange boy with pyco powers? And now gigantic ice crystals emerging from the ground, trapping them like dogs? How could any of this be real?
Yuki came up to Ringo who kept smirking. "Ringo please! This is going to far!" She pleaded. "Please tell me who did this to you!"
Ringo chuckled. "Well if you must know it was her, Kurobara I think is her name." He said as if it meant nothing. Yuki's eyes widen with shock. She looked frighten at what Ringo said. "Y-you mean...that big meanie?" She asked, tears began to flow out of her eyes. Ringo seemed to flinch at that.
"Sh-she did this to you? Why?" She asked, desperately wanting to know the answer. Ringo brought his finger up to her eyes and wiped her tears away. "So I could protect you from creatures like them." He growled looking at the sea of ice crystals that held Nero and Mikuo within them.
"B-but there not what you think they are! Humans are kind creatures! Oni-chan and Nii-chan were really nice, they took me in, they gave me a bath, they fed me and cheered me up." Yuki said trying to convince Ringo.
"KIND?" He thundered. He then grabbed Yuki's wrists tightly pulling her close to him. She squeaked at his rough grip.
"WHAT HAVE HUMANS DONE FOR YOU! HUH! ABANDONED YOU THAT'S WHAT! THEY LEFT YOU TO ROT! SLAPPED YOU! MADE YOU CRY!" He shouted with fiery. "Ringo…." Yuki said sadly, as few more tears welled up in her eyes.
Ringo then looked at the clothes Yuki was wearing. "Why are your wearing clothes like these? It's not like you need them."
"B-But Oni-chan and Nii-chan bought them for me…and I…I…I didn't want them worry b-because they thought…I..I was going to be….c-c-c-c-cold." She whimpered. He growled.
"But you're a snow demon Yuki…you don't need trash like this on your beautiful skin."
Mikuo kept kicking the ice crystals to get free while Nero kept shivering from the cold. "Mikuo this isn't real right?" Nero said. Mikuo stopped kicking and looked at Nero.
"This is pretty weird I'll admit, I mean I'm still wondering what I ate last night to be seeing all this crap! But real or not, I'm still worried about Yuki! Now help me over here!" Mikuo demanded.
Nero didn't move. He was shivering more from fear then cold. "But…." He began. Both then heard Yuki screaming. "NO! STOP RINGO!" she shouted.
"Yuki!" they both shouted. They then ran to the free spaces in the crystals that trapped them and peered threw them and saw Yuki in Ringo's arms, ripping her mittens off her hands.
Ringo trapped the struggling Yuki with one arm around her while he pulled her scarf off her neck and threw it to the ground. "Ringo stop…. They gave these to me!" She pleaded. But Ringo ignored her plead and began to unzip her pink jacket. "You'll melt if you where clothes like these." He whispered darkly in her ear. He then pulled her jacket off of her, leaving her only in her red summer dress and her tights.
"Yuki!" Nero shouted. "What the hell are you doing? She'll freeze to death!" Mikuo shouted. Ringo looked at the two and rolled his eyes. "Not for her she wont." Still clinging onto her, he placed his hand on her cheek and she whimpered, closing her eyes and Ringo nuzzled her cheek with affection.
"I can't believe you didn't know, you humans sure are stupid. If you must know, Yuki's not a human like you." He said the word human in a disgusted tone. "She's a Nature demon just like me." He said smirking.
Mikuo and Nero eyes widen. "A what…?" they asked in disbelief. Yuki looked down sadly, her secret was out.
"Just what hell are you talking about?" Mikuo shouted. "Yeah I don't believe that anymore, then Mikuo NOT being a pervert!" Nero shouted. Mikuo growled at him. "This really isn't the time lemon head!" Mikuo thought.
Ringo laughed and held Yuki closer. "If you must know, stupid humans, a Nature demon is actually a creature born from, fruits, flowers, trees, the sun, the moon, the grass, desserts, oceans and of course snow." Ringo explained while stroking Yuki's cheek. "We are born in this particular kind of world that you all were so dumb to walk into, don't you ever listen to the rumors?" He asked mockingly.
Mikuo and Nero growled trying to hide their confusion. "I'm an Apple demon, born from a supernatural apple that grew from this trees branches." He said as one of the branches from the tree stretched down and touched his cheek and nuzzled it back with affection. "And dear Yuki here…" He began and stared at Yuki who shook her head. "No don't…" she pleaded. But he ignored her "She's a snow demon. The most powerful."
Mikuo and Nero's eyes widen. "THAT'S THE BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP I'VE EVER HEARD!" Mikuo shouted. "YOUR MORE OF A FREAKIN' JOKE THEN THIS CRAP YOUR FEEDING US!" Nero shouted angrily.
Ringo tilted his head up and laughed. When he finally stopped he glared at the two with a grin. "Then where the heck did all those ice crystals come from?" He asked them. They froze. He then turned his head to Yuki who looked down sadly. "Go on Yuki tell them." He said. Yuki bit her lip and looked up to the wide eyed Nero and Mikuo.
"It's true." she admitted. "When Ringo attacked you I shielded you guys with my power….I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you guys…I thought that you….I thought that you…." Yuki began to cry.
"She knew you guys would turn on her just like her insects for parents did!" He said a bit angrily hugging her closer. He showed his fangs to scare them. They flinched.
"Y-Yuki…?" The whispered in disbelief, hoping it was just a joke. Yuki nodded sadly. Ringo the took her hand. "Come now Yuki we must go back home." Ringo darkly said. Yuki looked at him with pleading eyes.
"But…But I…"
The apple tree began to split open with loud crack and then dark shadow that looked like branches shot out of the crack and wrapped them selves, around Yuki and Ringo.
"YUKI!" Mikuo and Nero shouted as the two children were being pulled into the tree. Yuki stretched out her hand for them, tears poured from her eyes.
"ONI-CHAN! NII-CHAN!" She shouted. Ringo only smirked and brought Yuki closer to him as the shadows consumed them.
"Bye…Bye…" Ringo whispered as the shadows brought them into the tree and the crack disappeared.
"YUKI!" The two friends shouted. The ice that trapped them quickly melted away into a large puddle, soaking their shoes. A.J came out from behind Nero. She squeaked and ran to the tree, jumping on it's trunk trying to get in.
Mikuo took off running to the tree as well and pounded on it.
"LET US IN!" He shouted. "LET US IN YOU BRAT! YUKI! YUKI! CAN YOU HEAR ME!"
"Um…Mikuo…" Nero said in a small voice from behind. "Not now lemon head!" Mikuo shouted as he kicked the trunk and A.J did the same. "Why wont this thing open up!" He shouted.
"Mikuo…." Nero whimpered from behind. "SHUT UP!" Mikuo shouted. Hitting and kicking the tree.
"COME ON OPEN UP YOU LITTLE-"
"MIKUO!" Nero squealed. Mikuo growled and turned around. "What the heck is it you idi-" He stopped when he saw Nero being hung my his hair by a shadow behind him. His feet where inches off the ground, he was wincing not to mention squirming trying to get free
Mikuo froze. "Wh-what…?" He whispered. He looked closer at the shadow and found long blond hair tide in a side pony tail and red eyes sparkling in the moon light. It smirked and looked up as it gripped Nero's pocky shaped zipper on his jacket and began to unzip it.
"I've found my midnight snack…." Neru whispered.
I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY EVERYONE ABOUT THE SUUUUUUUPER LONG WAIT! I'M SURE YOUR ALL MAD AT ME FOR THIS! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY EVERYONE.
The cute little creature that I introduced in in chapter twelve is back. Betcha didn't think it was Yuki's pet huh? I also thought her being a snow demon was best suited for her, since her name mean Snow in Japanese.
