Chapter 36:
Okay, Jade, since you asked SO nicely, here's your next chapter. Enjoy!
"Hey! Lady!" Anpanai called, jumping out from behind the rock. "Your shoe's untied! Your shoe's untied!"
"Anpanai, wait!" Odeni called, trying to grab her.
The girl looked back at her, their eyes meeting for just a moment before the demon-man slammed a punch right into her cheek, and she fell backwards. Anpanai shrieked and scurried over to her. "Are you okay?" When Anpanai looked closely at her though, she found that what she had thought were blue eyes were actually a very light purple.
The girl blinked at her, examining her. Then she spoke. "Kid, please stay away. I don't want you to suffer the same fate my family did." She gave a wry half smile. "Besides, I can take a punch."
With that, the girl flew from Anpanai's arms and the fight resumed. Wait, Anpanai thought. "Your shoe's still untied!"
"Kid! Go back home!" the girl yelled fiercely. "This guy killed my parents! It's my fight and not yours!"
She's too stubborn, Anpanai thought, sitting down to watch.
"Kid, get outta there! You're going to get hurt!"
"I'll be fine," Anpanai said serenely.
The girl simply growled, but did not argue.
Odeni trembled behind the rock. If anything happened to Anpanai, he was going out there, too. But the funny thing was, she seemed fine.
The girl threw another exhausted punch before finally falling back to the ground, her efforts having only scratched the demon king a little (can't make the new character a Mary Sue, now can we?).
Once the girl hit the floor Anpanai jumped into action. "My turn!" she exclaimed cheerfully.
"Y-you…" the girl murmured. "You were just waiting for me to get tired, weren't you…?"
"Yup!" Anpanai said, and the girl sweatdropped. No shame at all! "Well, nice meeting you!" She flew up to meet the demon king.
The demon sized her up. "Little child," he snarled. He looked down to the little wrinkly thing. "This is an insult to my power! Let me have a more worthy fighter!" he demanded.
The corners of Anpanai's lips turned upwards a little. "Have the first hit," she said.
The little girl walked through the street, shivering as she clutched her thin blanket tighter against the wind. Her bare feet padded against the concrete, and she didn't even bother to yelp when she stepped on a stone.
All her feelings had left her, or were hardened to stone by the horrors she'd suffered in her life.
Her parents.
Her wonderful, loving parents.
Her cruel, hateful parents.
We're all going to die, anyway, her mother had told her. And then she stabbed herself. She had tried to stab her daughter, too, tried to "help her baby come with her to Heaven", but the girl had refused. And as the little girl ran from the house, her purple eyes misty with tears, she could ear her mother screaming inside.
Her feelings were gone.
Her tears were dry.
And now she was just….simply…there.
"Kid! Kid, hey, wake up!"
Mochi's eyes burst open to see a man with gravity-defying hair above her. Above him was a blue sky.
The first thing that came to her mind was "pedophile".
"Just sit still, okay?" the man said, with a friendly grin. Mochi could feel a small thing placed inside her mouth, and she chewed it. Bleh. She'd never liked vegetables.
Almost immediately, Mochi sat up, feeling re-energized. She looked around, seeing a couple of familiar faces, mostly from the small amount of T.V. she had watched in her lifetime. She looked around, confused. What were all these famous people doing here?
But the thing that surprised her most was the second-closest face to hers. A gasp escaped her lips as thoughts a recognition filled her mind.
"You…you're that girl!"
Ah, finally, another chapter finished. You may all PM me and send in new characters. I'd LOVE to hear your ideas!
Vegeta: I wouldn't.
W.O.T.L.: Yeah, well nobody asked you.
Mochi: (stares at last part) So…that's me…?
Anpanai: Yeah! S'not like it could be anyone else, could it?
Odeni: Well, then. But seriously, guys, you can send in as MANY characters as you'd like, but don't expect to see them ALL in here! There's only so many people this room can fit. Plus, if anyone farts, we can't get out.
Vegeta: (shifts uncomfortably) …Oops.
Everyone: AAAHHH!
Mochi: Thankfully, I was prepared for a ridiculously random situation! (hands out gas masks)
W.O.T.L.: You rock, Mochi!
Everyone Except Vegeta: Read and review, please!
