Ay/N: You really should release that oneshot, you know...?
A/N: Shush...! One shots arn't easy to get done in one day, and I'm not about to try on a day I'm not in the mood to write a lot, as that would mean no update that day!
Ay/N: Ayayaya, sorry I even brought it up! Jeez...
Mt. Shiro, Twilight:
I awoke to an odd smell in the air. As I'm still new to having a sensative nose, I couldn't place the scent, but it seemed oddly... familiar.
I began to hear the whispers of what sounded like little girls, whispers that were coming from seemingly every direction.
From what I could see, we were surrounded by hundreds, if not thousands of brightly burning little eyes.
They were all quiet, seeming to not want to disturb us, but I could discern a few words that were constant, and stood out from the rest.
Meat.
Food.
Blood.
Kill.
Feast.
Human.
Whatever was out there, it seemed to want to eat those of us who were human. Like hell I'd let that happen to Cirno! ...Ohh, and I suppose it would be bad if Mima or Marisa got eaten.
I guess...
...But... what can I do against numbers like these? While I have this strength, I've no combat experience! Heck, the only skill I have as a youkai is rather null without being an ice fairy! ...Though, I suppose I could try and kyuu them, like Flandre spoke of. ...But big sis Remi said not to! ...But this seems like a pretty bad situation, so maybe it would be okay to try?
They are all just hanging there, just begging to be grabbed. More eyes than one should try and count. So very tempting to find out exactly what it is that I'm not suppose to do...
"No! I can't do that!" I clapped a hand over my mouth. All around us, the voices silenced themselfs. ...Why did I have to shout that...!
"...Dammit, Usagi..." I heard Rumia's annoyed voice from the other side of the bubble. It seems I wasn't the only one that needed to figure out what to do, and I had just cut off the chance of a sneak attack. Rumia knew exactly what it was that was out there, as she was quite used to the smell of fairy dust. Even Cirno, who normally had ice for wings, had fairy dust. It's simply the unique smell that fae give off, and is named for dust their wings tend to produce when burned. Even if Cirno's usual wings would melt, and not produce her dust, she still gave off that strange smell.
"Sis! You're awake~!" Flandre had been awake, too, and was previously being kept quiet by Rumia. However, Rumia had stopped trying, as it was a rather pointless thing to do at this point.
Rumia, while wary of Flandre, knew that it was mostly the moon's fault that she had acted as she had, so she wasn't about to hold it against the cute little Youkai.
However, one must stress that it was only mostly the fault of the moon. Flandre is far from stable, and is liable to have... episodes of insanity, even if she always seems to have a semblance of control over herself.
"Way to alert them, ze..." Okay, am I the only one that wasn't awake...?
I heard a sigh from what sounded like Mima, before my theory on who it was confirmed.
"My, arn't we the noisy one...?" Mima sounded rather annoyed by my loud voice.
...What's next, Cirno?
"ZZzzz... I love... you, Usa... ZZZzz" My face suddenly turned as red as a beet, as I wasn't expecting her to say such a thing.
I heard Flandre let out a gasp. "Little sis has a lover? !" She sounded quite joyous, and began to let out a happy little squeal, quite obviously happy about such a thing.
"I-i-it's not l-like that!" I couldn't help but sound quite happy from hearing Cirno say such a thing, which wasn't helping me convince everyone that we weren't like that.
"Zzz- zz... Mmn... R-right zzz... Right there, Usa...! Zzzz..." My face lit up like a star, my embarassment knowing no equal. We hadn't done anything like that, but... Did she really dream of me in such ways...? Wait, now's not the time!
"...Well talk about this later. For now, we have Pixies to slay." Rumia didn't sound particularly happy, as she was assuming I had taken advantage of her ignorant little fairy friend in some way. How else would one cause Cirno to fall for themself in such a short amount of time? Rumia knew no other ways, really.
"Pixies?" Myself, Flandre, and Marisa asked in unison, as none of us knew what that was.
The barrier of shadows lowered, revealing a rather large number of what looked like fairies. Ice faires, to be exact.
However, they all looked... strange. Their skin was as white as snow, just as Cirno, but... their eyes were sunken in, and looked like small red dots inside of a pitch black cavity. Their teeth were the same as any other fairy, but they were... upgraded. Every last one of them used their ice powers to form razor sharp icicles over their teeth, which seemed to be quite sharp. Their hands were much the same, icy claws over the tips of their fingers, so as to dig into the flesh, and rip meat off the bone. Other than that, they looked like ordinary ice fairies!
Flandre looked around like a kid in a candy store.
"Playmates!" With a giggle, she summoned her warped blade, Laevateinn, and her grin began to darken.
"...I'm glad you're on our side, ze!" Marisa was happy that she could be fighting beside Flan for once, instead of the usual way things turned out.
"There's pleanty of 'em to go around, so lets share, okay?" Flandre began to grin, and the Pixies all looked at her like she was cra- Okay, bad choice of words. Flandre is crazy, if only part of the time. The rest of the time, she strangers like toys.
Though, she isn't crazy in the suicidal choice way, as the flesh eating fairies thought.
"Heh... I like the way you think, Vampire!" Mima drew her knife, and it flared with unholy energies, forming what looked like a flaming black sword.
"...I hope I don't get in the way..." I, on the other hand, couldn't really bring much to the table. At best, I suppose I could maul things.
"Even if they are pixies, they're still lesser Fae; as a Vampire, I doubt they really can do a whole lot to you." Rumia had confidence that I'd be of use, or, at the very least, not get in the way.
I'm starting to wonder if the fa- Pixies would attack, as they have been staring at us an aweful lot, yet none have budged an inch.
"If you make 'em go Kyuu, you can see the pretty colors, too!" Flandre gave a demonstation, by way of crushing the eye of one.
Blood flew everywhere, and the corpse looked horribly mangled.
I followed the example, and tryed to grab one of those little light, and gripped it as hard as I could.
I'm not sure what happened, but the eye I crushed suddenly flared up with an intense strength, and that single fairy fell down, moaning.
It twitched about, spasming, and bucking its hips here and there.
I couldn't help but feel I hadn't done this right, somehow.
"...Huh..." Rumia rather impressed by my skill that was obviously very much so not destruction.
All of the Pixies began to stare at their pair of fallen comrads, a few finding themselfs wanting to experience whatever that second one had, and realised, after all this time, that they should probably start killing us.
Pixies arn't very smart, just like any other Fairies. If you interrupt their thought process with a good number of words, they tend to forget what they were thinking, as they have the concentration skills, and memory, of a goldfish.
Well, I suppose this skill can be used to solve issues in a non-violent way, but... I feel as though I've just done something really naughty by squeezing their eye...
It felt so... soft, and just a bit moist. I feel as though it should have broken, just as Flan had said it would, but it didn't. I grabbed it as hard as I could, too! I could have probably crushed bones with my grip, and yet their eye was perfectly fine!
What could I have done wrong...? It couldn't be that that's what my power is meant to do, right...? I mean, I should have the same ability as Flandre, right?
Right?
