"Shigen,Wakaba,Kagami. Each one of you picks a side of the forest to sweep through then report back. Be through, but quick…" Toya ordered his current squad. It was one in the morning and it was their turn to make the routine rounds. The three nodded quickly and split off. Toya sighed lightly to himself, watching his new group go reminded him of his last, he wanted to be more protective of his new men then his last.
Wakaba took north side, the darkest side, of the forest, hopping from one branch to another. Aside from hearing the noises of nocturnal animals, the sweep was normal…
"!?" Wakaba stopped in his tracks, jumping off the tree and landing onto the ground. Something new had reached his ears…it was like a low cackling. Instinctively, the solider reached behind his blade, stalking quietly forward.
"Who's there?" he called out in front of him, looking left to right. Another low snicker, as he stopped to scan the area. "Should I get to Toya sensei to tell him this or…GCK!"
"Where's Wakaba? A routine sweep only takes a few minutes" The squad leader Toya stood impatiently. The other two had returned at least 3 minutes now. "What could be taking him so…"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" A loud desperate shriek blew into the air. The three surprised ninjas took initiative and sprang into the dark woods. "Wakaba!" Toya yelled as he dashed on foot, Shigen and Kagami went through the branches. The tree stopped where they heard the scream, staring in disbelief at the disfigured body of one of their own. "WAKABA!" the squad leader kneeled over the body, the neck was broke in what seem like six places. The ninja became fueled with anger, smashing his fist into the dirt harshly before standing up. "COME OUT YOU BASTARD!"
The figure walked into the ninja's view, it was like a moving shadow because it was still dark. But they could see the twisted smile on the mysterious person's face, juggling the fallen warriors' weapon. "heh…hehehhehheh…." It went, before throwing the blade into the dead ninja's chest. Shigen and Kagami took a step back in shock, But Toya growled angrily at this persons disrespect. "Damn you! Kagami, Shigen, attack! The two let out their own growl before running at the shadow, ninjato's drawn.
With a raise of an arm the shadow pointed at the two attackers coming from the air with a maniacal grin. With another wicked laugh the arm started to shake oddly.
"Die!!" The two yelled as they were coming down with their weapons. At a split second the arm went had "opened up" numerous pores, and surprisingly, wires had shot out at incredible speed. The two yelled in shock, as the many wires impaled the both of them, keeping them suspended in the air. Some the wires came out so fast that it had cleanly separated Kagami's arm from the rest of his body.
"Shigen! Kagami!" Toya screamed watching the two struggles and strain to survive above him. "AAAHAHAHAHAHAA!" The mysterious thing roared, dangling the two into the air like a sick puppet show. "And now the finale" the cold machine like voice was heard. "Toya..Toya!!" Shigen struggled to speak. Suddenly a sound would keep all 4 of them silent, tiny red rings came from the arm and up the wires towards the two impaled ninjas.
"Die…" the shadow uttered, as the red rings went into the soldiers that screamed one last time, before a loud explosion erupted, ending their lives. Toya fell over backwards from the blast, watching in horror two charred bodies above him. After the blast the wires retreated quickly out of them and back into the unknown attacks arm. The lone squad leader covered his body with his arms as the once dangling men became falling corpses, falling right on top of him. "Aaaaah!!"
The figure stalked forward at burning pile, watching the unlucky man under it suffer and struggle to get out. The silent killer pointed her arm forward, quickly getting Toya's attention.
"What…what the hell are you?" Toya pleaded, feeling his skin burn from under the two fiery bodies.
"Funny…Don't see a lot of dead people ask questions." The machine- like voice answered, before cackling crazily once more. Toya's eyes went wide as he saw the holes open up again. "NOOOO!!!"
"Ugh…" Aoi stirred in her sleep, wincing painfully. It was the same pain on her chest that woke her up before, and the sunlight that had reached her face. Slowly opening them she let out a small yawn, sitting up as she rubbed her dazed brown eyes. To her surprise she could really remember what took place or how she got here. Hearing the sound of water running she rubbed her left arm, which was unfortunately sore.
"Eta!" She yelped, gritting her teeth. After the pain was over she took a look around area, thinking it would jog her memory. It was a small, very messy place, lots of clothes, magazines, and…beef noodle cups?
"Oh. So "sleeping warrior queen" woke up." Aoi heared a voice speak. Following it a blonde girl with a bandana on her head and a tooth brush in her hand. Now it was coming back to her, the street fight with the gang, and the girl that helped her out. "W-wha?" Aoi could only stutter, still waking up from what she felt could have been days of sleeping.
"That means you Aoi." Roxy stuck the toothbrush in her mouth and started to scrub, walking over to the small refrigerator. "Oh…thanks again for helping me out Shinobu and those guys. They been hassling me for a while and everything."
"Where are we?" Aoi asked, getting off the couch and already stepping into something she didn't really want to see.
"Just my cozy little apartment" Roxy spat the toothpaste foam in the kitchen sink. "I kind of dig the lived in style don't you?" Aoi took a few more careful steps, scanning around, deciding to voice her opinion of the room in three simple-yet-sarcastic words.
"It's a hole."
"Hah. What do you expect on a cram school student's salary?" Roxy giggled, pouring a cup of water into her mouth, gargling and spitting it back out. "I'm sure it's not what your not custom too is it farm girl?" Aoi raised a brow in question, toying with one of the many annoying split ends in her hair. "Farm girl?"
"Oh it is just written all over you!" Roxy walked over to the taller girl, scratching the back of her head. "You have some serious heat in your punches. What's your secret? Scrubbing floors? Lifting crops? Tipping cows?"
Aoi was actually relieved to see something that wasn't so depressing, no mater how odd the girl seems to be. She chuckled lightly and humored her, "You name it I probably lifted it, yeah.
"I knew it! So anyway like all farm girls, you tried to make it big in the city of Tokyo with other "city-slickers" but the next thing you know you're running around with bandages with a DOATEC jacket." The bubbly blonde girl kept going, throwing in two beef noodle cups into a small microwave, muttering to herself about trying to find some *real* food. "That reminds me…how did you get one of those jackets anyway?"
"It's a long story." Aoi responded hastily, which made Roxy blink from her suddenness. "Oh…so is that um…?" Unsure if she should say it, the blonde just gestured a line going up and down on her shirt. Aoi knew she was talking about the scar, silently she sat down on the couch and stared at it a "Yah…you can say that as well" Aoi voice became colder. Roxy got the message not to really go into that. The sound of the microwave beeping broke the odd silence in the room, Roxy sighed in relief and got out the cups, walking over to a seat next to the other girl.
"Hey…sorry if I'm bugging you with all the questions." She apologized, passing a beef noodle cup and sticks over to Aoi. "It's alright…if it was the same situation I would be asking too." She carefully opened up the steaming lid, smiling lightly from how good the instant food smelled, heck anything was cuisine when you haven't eaten for days.
"So where you going to go after you feel like leaving" Roxy asked, stirring her food slowly. Aoi went quiet again, sighing deeply. "I really don't have anywhere to go…got kicked out of my old place a while ago, and going back home is definitely not an option." Roxy slurped some noodles into her mouth, thinking to herself as she chewed. "Well…why not hang here?" she asked.
"I don't want to be in the way…"
"No way you'll be in the way!" Roxy stood up, looking at Aoi. She had a very bright and cheery glint in her eyes. "It would so kick ass if you hanged here with me Aoi. I haven't really made a lot of friends since I most of them went off into colleges, and I'm barley getting by in this dump and the job I have…"
"So your saying…we should be?"
"ROOMMATES!" Roxy yelled happily, hopping on the small table in between the old sofa and television. Aoi was taken a bit surprised from the blonde girls' spunk and nearly choked on her noodles. "I could find you a job in no time as well! Finally I won't have to keep borrowing beef noodle cups from the old couple a few doors down!" Aoi laughed again, putting down the instant food so she could think. A girl hanging with a cheery college flunky…It was better then what she was before.
"I Surrender." She admitted, looking up at the wiry Roxy striking poses on the table. "Being roommates sounds fun, If your serious about finding me a job so I can pull their weight…then I'm in."
"Alright!" Roxy clenched her fist and jumped down the table, grinning with a glint of triumph. "I'll get right on it as soon as I can, you can trust Roxy on this!" Aoi gave a blank face a second she said her name…what a rather odd name she thought.
"A-all right, thanks for helping me out like this…"LRRossie…" she slurred out at the end.
"…No its…Roxy."
"RAW-Ksy?" Aoi strained to pronounce clearly.
"rox-y"
"Roooo-sky"
"…"
"Lro-OW!" Aoi squealed surprisingly, sticking out her tongue quickly. "Bite my tongue…" Roxy gave her new roommate a rather odd looking, before just giggling her bandana off as she held her stomach. "God why cant anybody say it right!? Wish I had a cool Japanese name instead of the one my dad gave me…" Aoi smiled and apologized for the whole pronunciation thing, before picking up her cup to finish it. "You sound just like my mom…the way she tries to yell it is just too much!" Roxy was able to spill out during laughs. "Usually she just calls me Ro-Chan…kind of weird."
"Ro-Chan? That's cute." Aoi said, slurping more from her food. "It's a lot easier too…"
"Ayane?" Hayate had finally come back from the dojo, opening up the door slowly into her room. She must of still be in the forest looking for Toya's squad, which was still missing in action since their routine sweeps last night. The ninja leader had seem to become his old self since his half- sister gave him the reassuring talk, and she wanted to give her the ninja- to he gave to his late sister Kasumi when she became a true ninja. He always thought it was cute how Ayane always wanted to beat Kasumi in something or another, and she always seemed so interested in the blade, so he decided it be better if she had it then him just brooding over it. "Now lets try to keep it a surprise…" he thought, his first idea was to put it under her bed covers. As he walked over to it Hayate stumbled awkwardly, nearly falling over if it wasn't for his balance. "Gah! Stupid planks…" he muttered, pulling his leg out of the hole he accidentally created. "…?" Hayate was struck rather odd that his hole wasn't really ripped into the ground, as if that plank was fit perfectly there. He picked up the plank and looked down to the hole, noticing a small book in it. The ninja leader reached down and grabbed it, blowing off the dust.
"What would a book be doing in here?" he asked, simply breezing through a few pages until he saw writing. It was in a very dark purple ink. "This is Ayane's writing" he whispered, scanning one page to another, finding the recent one.
Dear Diary…I finally faced my fears and done it…I destroyed…
Hayate went breathless…..
