I've cleared impossible hurdles before
Just by concentrating
Because I don't want to give up yet
Who's to blame it's not the best?
What is there to be achieved?
A week flew by since the little group opened the Dragon's Door in the Shadow realm. Life returned to what seemed like normal. Asa made friends with Zikki, a Montona. (Note: Montona = dragon w/ destructible powers, can turn into a human.) Her yami was Nora. Zikki had elbow length purple hair, friendly jet-black eyes, was 5'2" with tattoos in Montona language. Asa also hung out with Scythe, Blade, and Shadowwolf. But something was wrong lately. She mainly stayed in her room, and wouldn't even come out to eat.
Another twist: aibous and yamis were disappearing all over school. Three of the missing six had turned up dead. The others were close.
Yami gently knocked on Asa's door. He was wearing that cool black outfit with his jacket draped over his shoulders like a cape. His face wore an expression of worry. Yami knocked again. The door creaked open slowly. Yami stepped in. The only light was coming from the hallway. But then the door slammed shut and Yami heard the lock click. Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead and his heart raced.
There was a small red glow in the corner. The eight-point star on Asa's forehead was glowing. Yami wasn't too sure. The glow stopped, and he was engulfed in darkness again.
He assumed that the light was Asa's.
Fool.
The light was his own, a reflection.
Yami could feel breathing on the back of his neck. He froze. Something was behind him.
(Is that fear you're feeling?)
Yami stopped breathing. Who was that? Speaking straight into his mind!
(Is that your fear?)
Who are you?
(Is that fear you're feeling?)
I'm not...afraid
(You are.)
I'm...not...
(Let it grow. Let it consume your heart)
I'm...
(Your mind.)
I...
(Your soul.)
...
(Let your fear consume you.)
Yami felt hands on his shoulders. He was afraid-no-terrified. Who was this? The hands on his shoulders moved up to Yami's neck. Fear...Terror...
Pain.
(You are the other child of Chaos.)
Pain...
(You opened the door.)
Yami was drifting in and out of consciousness. He was barely listening to the voice in his head.
(You are weak.)
*Drop him!*
(Asamodan.)
*Let go of him*
(ARG!!!)
Yami felt the hands on his throat loosen, and he fell to the floor.
Shadowwolf and Zikki opened the door to her room hours later and gasped. Asa's wings were emitting a strange light. She was kneeling on the floor, with Yami (curled up into a little ball) resting his head in her lap. She was slowly stroking his face. Her head was bowed and eyes closed.
"Asa?" Shadowwolf asked, stepping in.
Asamodan looked at them and stood up.
"He's weak and he's tired. He needs his rest." She said, using her magic to create a bed under Yami. The three left.
Zikki hung upside-down from a tree branch.
"Yugi went missing. Yami was upset." Asa said.
"What went wrong in your room?"
Asa hid her eyes.
"I'll show you."
Asa's wings grew, and her hands began to look more demonic and cruel. She stood on all fours, and was rather wolf-like in appearance. Her ears moved to the top of her head, and they looked like a wolf's ears. Asa's face flattened and twisted into a wolf. Fur emerged from her skin and clothes and a tail appeared. Her wings were huge, black and dragon-like. There was a large red star in the middle of her forehead and white on the tips of her ears, nose, tail, and paws. Her shoulder met with Zikki's head. Her left eye was blood red and the other had just turned white.
"Child of Chaos." Zikki said, returning to her Montona form.
"Wow." Shadowwolf said.
"One of your eyes is different." BLADE!
Asa nodded.
*I would be like this permanently if I didn't feed.*
Blade glared down at her.
"Have you been killing those missing around school?" Shadowwolf asked.
Asa's fur stood on end and her body glowed.
*You dare to accuse me of such! I would never do such a thing!*
Zikki and Shadowwolf looked at each other. Blade nodded. He unsheathed his Sword of a Thousand Screams (If this is wrong, let me know), jumped from the tree and pointed it at Asa. She bared her teeth the size of daggers.
"Large teeth for not killing people."
*I never said I killed them. I never said I even eat you mortals.*
"Then, what do you feed on?" Zikki asked, cocking her head to one side.
Asa-wolf-thingy sat down and clawed the earth. Strange, silver liquid poured out of the cut and Asa drank it. Everyone tensed. The silvery stuff dripped from her snout and sizzled when it hit the ground.
"What the hell is that?" Scythe!
Asa grinned, revealing her large teeth.
*It is the life of this planet.*
"WHAT?!"
*Everything on this planet is alive. The earth itself is alive. I feed on that.* Asa scratched another hole.
But the silver liquid didn't pour out of it this time. A thick, black, oil-like liquid poured out and shot upwards to form a pillar. Asa growled at this.
*This is something that has no place here.* Her ears flicked forwards and her eyes widened.
Asamodan poked her head into the pillar and pulled out a small mass covered in the strange stuff. Blood was dripping from her face, and she looked pretty torn up. She gently set down her "package" and the pillar receded into the earth. The black liquid dispersed, revealing an unconscious Yugi. Blood had dripped from Asa's muzzle onto Yugi's clothes.
"What in the heck just happened?" Blade asked.
"That black stuff was probably what we accidentally released from the Dragon's Door." Shadowwolf said.
Asa nodded.
"LOOK! THERE IT IS!"
"THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN KILLING STUDENTS!"
Asa looked to the felt, into the blinding lights of teachers and cops. She stood protectively over Yugi, for there was nothing of the sort in the shadowrealm.
"You've got it wrong! She's not the killer!" Shadowwolf said.
The light hurt Asamodan's eyes, she raised her paw to try and shield her eyes. The teachers and cops thought that she was going to attack. A loud clatter of guns firing rang out. The blows didn't hurt, but they struck with such force that Asa fell over. The teachers wouldn't listen to Scythe, Blade, Zikki and Shadowwolf as they imprisoned Asa, and shut her away beneath the school in a concrete and steel chamber. Asa's claws couldn't tear through it, so she couldn't feed. Her one white eye hurt from the light. Yugi was sent to a hospital wing to recover and the group was trying to convince teachers that it wasn't her. Asa looked out at the moon.
Why does my heart hurt? She thought.
Yami slowly woke up on the black bed in Asa's room. There was some light, enabling him to find his way out. He had no idea what had gone on. He walked back to his room. Bakura and Ryou were inside. Ryou filled him in. None of the three knew that Asa was that creature that was caught. The moon shone brightly into the room, creating a sad and lonely appearance. Yami stared out at it. His heart hurt.
Why does it hurt so much? He asked himself.
