Hmm…what's a good way to say that I don't own this anime? How about
Fanfiction… fanfiction… one more time, FAN-fiction
Laziness… a sin to some, bliss to others.
Sleep Derivation, Whishes, and Knowledge
Pain screamed it's way through her consciousness as she muttered a spell. Things had gotten way out of hand with that drinking. Damn that Urd for only teaching her how to speed up the effects of a hang over. It was like still having one but in fast-forward, better than having it normally though.
Alex found herself a few blocks from the temple, night still present in the sky.
She yawned as her body called to her for rest, but the night wasn't over yet. With a sigh she started back towards the temple, her next move weighing heavily on her mind.
Is there a way for her not to find out about us? She asked herself as the temple gates got closer and closer, her body acting on its own. She cursed herself for the wish… everything was completely messed up.
Whatever, what happens… happens…
Tsutoku stood there starring at the piece of paper on her bed. Cold sweat trailed down her back and it wasn't even warm in the room. Her fist clenched as anger flashed over her face.
"Is this some kind of joke!" she screamed into the air not expecting an answer.
"Far from it."
Alex walked into the house and discarded her shoes. In an instant she transformed her ragged clothes into dress more befit to this job.
Her choice was the same clothes she had worn on her first day back. She studied her white gloves and sighed, this would be harder than she thought.
Lets get this over with. And with that thought she started her way down the hall to her demise. The walk seemed to take forever, her footsteps echoing in the hall. She, by all rights, should have felt anxious or at least giddy, but all she felt was… depression and sadness. She was just staring to make a friend and now… now…who would want some half male half female goddess as a friend, let alone living in the same room as you. Especially if the person was a girl and you didn't tell her you were originally a guy.
She passed by pictures of smiling faces as she walked, each one seeming to leer at her and mock her.
This sucks. He groaned in his head, there was no way out of this. He sighed and found himself at the door of doom, the last strand of cowardness calling to him to just walk away.
The door stood as the last barrier that had to be crossed. It was all up to him weather he chose to walk in there or not.
He ignored the voice and slowly pulled open the door.
Goddesses, they were all goddesses.
Tsutoku shook her head as she starred at Urd. This was too much, too far fetched to believe. Your friend just does not wonder into your room and tell you that she and the other entire female population of the house were goddesses, it just didn't happen. And yet here she was looking at her friend that had a guardian angel flowing out of her back. He mouth opened and closed as she tried to find the words she so desperately wanted to say.
"What the hell?" was all she managed. How… how could all three, no four, of the people she trusted be goddesses. How could they hide something like that from her? The silver-haired angel starred out at her, blinking every now and then. There was now way this was a joke.
She couldn't believe it. She had told them everything in the time she had met them. Everything. From her first kiss to the loathe of her stepfather. And here they are keeping something this big from her.
What, did she not matter enough to them for her to know? She lived in the same house goddamn it.
It was then that things hit her. Memories that had been deleted form her mind. Everyday occurrences that would have pointed it all out. It was as if they never registered in her brain. As if they couldn't register to her.
"You did something to me didn't you, so I wouldn't realize about you guys." She asked, her eyes slitting and barely suppressed anger filling her features.
"Yes…" Urd said almost ashamed by her own actions. But it was necessary, she wasn't allowed to know.
"HOW COULD YOU, I trusted you!" She screamed out at her.
"Don't try and act like we gave you special treatment Tsu, Megumi doesn't even know and she's Keiichi's sister." Urd pointed out with a growl.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better about this?" her voice was even and cold. She starred out at Urd with a passionate anger.
"No but it's just facts. We weren't allowed to let anyone know about us." Urd tried to point out to the irate teen.
"Yeah, well I wish I knew all the facts!"
And the door opened.
"Yeah, well I wish I knew all the facts." Alex's mouth stayed open n preparation to talk, but no words came out. His mind slowly started to work registering how the ultimate force would take this. Tsutoku's one wish… to know everything.
Fuck.
The beam shot from Alex's head straight up through the ceiling. The power of the beam burning a hole straight through it.
Urd turned around as soon as the door opened but it was too late for her to stop the wish. She watched in utter horror as the light turned from it's cheerful pink to a dead black. Alex's eyes rolled into the back of her head leaving pure whiteness. Her mouth fell open in a silent scream of pain as all her muscles tightened. The knuckles popped in her fist as they turned white from the outrageous strength of her grip.
The normal wind turned into a full blown hurricane of power picking up the small things in the room and utterly destroyed them with it's power. The ground under Alex turned a blood red, black runes slowly inscribing themselves and creating a design.
A chunk of wood flew past Urd's head slamming itself into the wall behind her, splinters embedding themselves deep into it.. She grunted and put up an energy shield. Almost instantly small fragments of everything started to fly into the shield pushing her farther and farther back.
Alex's eyes slowly rolled back to normal, her pupils dilated, and she shut her mouth and clenched her teeth in utter agony.
Then it stopped.
Skuld rushed to the scene as soon as the power surge registered. She made it just in time to see the winds die down, the blood red floor and runes disappear, and the black beam of power dissipate into nothingness.
Alex's eyes rolled back into her head one last time as all tension left her body. Skuld was too late to hear the wish, too late to see the power erupt, and too late to stop anything, but she arrived just in time to catch Alex as his body went comatose and fell to the floor. She turned her attention to Urd, her eyes pleading for an explanation.
Urd starred on in utter bewilderment, concern, and horror. Her attention was caught again as a giant pillar of white light shone down on the wish maker. Horrid screams filled the air as Tsutoku fell to her knees clutching her head. Urd brought a hand up to cover her eyes from the brightness and Skuld had to look away.
"Get out…" Tsutoku whimpered as tears of blood made their way down her face.
"Get out… get out… get out of my head… GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!" she screamed as her body started to convulse. Urd starred on unable to do anything as the beam continued to shine.
"Get out… get out… get out… get out… I DON'T WANT YOU, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
And it was gone. The room died down and was still. No one moved, not an inch.
Tsutoku flopped over unconscious, rousing Urd for her shock.
"What the hell happened?"
Belldandy stumbled down the hall as her mind franticly tried to assess what she had felt moments ago. A huge power surge erupted in the confines of her own house. She fought back the fatigue of her cold and stumbled into the living room. She was met by gasps and looks of concern and her youngest sister was at her side in an instant.
Urd looked at her younger sister. She was barely dressed, a huge blanket covering her body. She looked beautiful as ever but if you knew her then you could tell that she was sick. All her hair was down and limp, her eyes half lidded as if she hadn't slept in weeks, and her smile was missing from her face.
Skuld helped her walk over to the couch to see what they were looking at.
One the couch laid Alex…
In a coma.
Darkness surrounded all as she walked. But how was she walking if there was noting to walk on? Confusion took over as she continued to head forward into the darkness.
Welcome. The voice was strong and deep, the sound rumbling in her chest. Tsutoku turned at the voice but it was everywhere and nowhere.
"Hello…" she called out and received nothing. Fear slowly crept it's way into her as she realized that anything could be in the darkness, just waiting to attack.
You have called out for me, have you not mortal? The voice called again, this time an authoritative note in it.
"What are you talking about?" she cried into the darkness.
Your wish… you have stated your wish and now shall receive. The voice seemed on the brink of insanity, it's deep timbre roaring from the darkness.
Open your mind so I can change it, I shall mold you… for your puny mind cannot handle what you have asked… you are mine to make!
Screaming reverberated throughout the darkness as the mind of a woman was torn apart to be remolded by a wish made out of spite.
Who said wishes were supposed to make everything better?
They're only supposed to change things.
"He's in a coma… something happened during his last wish." Urd explained as she crossed her arms under her breasts. For one as mood changing as Urd, extreme concern was a look foreign to her face.
"A coma? Are you sure?" Belldandy asked with shock. She looked at Alex, his face pale and his skin clammy. She slowly reached out and wiped the girls bangs back so she could see Alex's whole face. She trailed her hand down his cheek, her fingertips lingering on her soft skin for a small second before retracting them.
"What happened to her?" she asked her sisters.
Information flew into Tsutoku's mind; stuff she didn't even know existed. It was all in a rush, as if they were all being saved into her memory by a super computer. Her head felt ready to explode as pain continued to race through her body. Her screams had died down; her vocal cords shot. She just clenched her teeth in pain and rolled into a fetal position.
Everything and anything flew into her head.
People's names, faces, pasts, wars, stories, pin code numbers, school Ids, police records, and all things earthly. Then it stopped and pure bliss filled her as the pain disappeared. She let out a sigh of relief, her breaths coming out in jagged gasps. She didn't dare move, the ground being too comfortable at the moment for her stressed body. She didn't know if she could take anymore than this.
Now know heaven!
And round two started. This one worse than the last.
"What!" Bell screamed wide-eyed, a small coughing fit overtaking her afterwards. Skuld rushed up to help her but she waved her away.
"Yes, she wished for it all, all the knowledge. She wasn't specific; she said "I want to know all the facts", not just of the world. Are you sure you're ok?" Urd asked as she took a step closer to examine her sister.
"I'm fine, besides we have to worry about Tsutoku right now." Bell exclaimed as she struggled to walk towards Tsu's room, her legs refusing to move but only the slightest. Sharp pains raced through her feet and up her legs making her gasp in pain.
"Stop Belldandy," Urd ordered, "look, she's just unconscious, she'll be fine in the morning. But you're not ok; you have a bad cold, one that I can't just cure like the others. You need to get back in bed. It's only through divine intervention that you were not hulled away to the hospitals in heaven for treatment. I still say you should go." Urd growled as she looked at the ground not being able to be angry with her sister directly, it just seemed wrong.
"But you know I couldn't leave Kei, he's everything to me!" she cried out in horror as the thought of leaving him brought dread into her soul.
"If he is then go back to him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't know you left the room. He'll be pissed if he sees you up and still sick. You may not have seen him pissed but I have, and it's scary. He's worse than Skuld when it comes to your health." Urd smiled as she added a light tone to the last bit.
"We can handle it here." Urd finished with a sincere look. Skuld nodded to take her side.
"I guess you're right… thank you." Belldandy answered as she looked at the ground in shame. Urd watched as Skuld helped Bell walk back to her room, Urd's heart braking at the sight of seeing her sister like that.
I'm sorry bell… I lied. Urd apologized in her head. I have no ideal what to do.
And the knowledge of hell shall be yours! The voice screamed out at her.
Her body twitched but no other signs of pain were visible. Her body and mind had become numb to it. Her breath had become more hyperventilated and weak. Small tremors moved throughout her, the strain on the body incredible. The only show of consciousness was the blinking of her eyes, the small movement clearing her dull eyes of bloody tears.
The nothingness only lasted a short while before the last round started.
What have you done… what have you done… this voice, it seemed familiar and… feminine
Who are you? Alex's mind called out. She couldn't see where she was. It was as if her eyes didn't work. But her others senses tingled. A light wind blew over her skin sending Goosebumps everywhere. The sound of water coming upon shore called to her from the right. Her body was cold; the sunlight didn't seem to be shining. The smell of salt overtaking her and the feel of sand under her feet giving hints to her position.
What have you done… the voice cried, an undertone of fear with it.
What do you mean? She asked out as she spun around hoping to feel someone's presence.
You… are you… could you… save me? The fear turned to skepticism, but a light hope was also heard.
Save you? Where are you? She called out. This was getting too weird.
I am here… I am alive… find me… the voice pleaded.
Find you? I can't even see you. I'm blind, how am I supposed to find you. She answered getting irritated.
Find me… it pleaded again.
Where are you?
Find me…
I can't see you.
Find me…
HOW! She screamed in rage, something about this place set off her emotions. She hadn't meant to scream like that but…
Find me… save me… help me… its pleads becoming moredesperate.
Where… where do I start?
Find me…
Where…
Find me…
Where…
Find me…
I CAN'T… I STILL CAN'T SEE…
Find me…
Morning came, the sun's rays shining into the dark room of a girl. The room was filled with random anime stuff, the walls covered in posters and wall scrolls. The room was messy but not the disaster it had been hours before.
A grunt was heard, echoing off the walls and ceiling. Slowly a person sat up in a futon, the blanket rolling up at her waist. She looked around at her room and noticed nothing out of place. She shook her head and groaned as small snippets of the strange dream she had came flowing back to her.
It was so real… so painful. She groaned again and looked at the clock, 6:30. An hour and a half before she had to be at school. She yawned and stretched, her shirt clinging to her breasts uncomfortably.
She looked down to find herself only dressed in a white button up t-shirt and panties, she didn't remember changing out of … wait, what did she wear yesterday. She groaned as she stood up, he knees weak and wobbly.
"Oh man… I feel like crap." She groaned out as she stumbled to her closet. She threw open the doors to find her closet filled with clothes. After putting on a bra she pulled out a clean black button up shirt and a dark green skirt.
She yawned as she buttoned the shirt up to the last two buttons leaving the collar and the button under that undone. With relative ease she pulled on her skirt and left the shirt untucked. She walked over to the mirror and studied herself.
Her hair was loose and in need of combing, random strands falling over onto her face. Her face had a pink hue from having just slept. Her turquoise eyes starred out at the mirror examining her choice of clothes, dark just felt… right… today. She yawned and stretched her arms out, her fingers slightly curling.
Oy, my breath stinks filled her mind as she headed to the bathroom to freshen up. As she left her room the smell of food rushed into her nose.
"Belldandy's still sick right?" she asked herself with a shrug. Maybe Kei's cooking is getting better.
The bathroom was empty as she walked into it. Slowly she turned on he faucet to hot water. Dipping her hands into the steaming water she bent over and splashed some on to her face waking her up all the way. As she did so one thought came to her mind.
The essay's due today. She immediately scrambled from the bathroom, grabbing a brush on the way out, and rushed into her room. On the dresser sat her laptop as loyal as can be.
She opened the top, the computer flying into action as it started up.
Instantly the essay came onto the screen. She jumped for joy when she remembered that she had put the computer on hibernate.
Her hands flew over the computer, words flying onto the screen. Soon pages were filled and the minimum close at hand. She starred at the screen, the words flowing from her without second thought.
She was done in ten minutes.
She sighed and looked over her work. With a smile she turned and saved the document. He smile died however as she looked at her name.
Class 2A
Kazami Mizuho: psychology
October 17, 2004.
Tsutoku? I haven't used that as my first name since fifth grade. She stated in annoyance. With a swift motion she changed it.
There we go, my real first name.
If you can't tell, the theme of the story has changed to be a little more… serious. Humor can only get you so far by itself. But worry not my fair readers, there is still humor to come… just not yet.
Thanks to all readers… even if you don't review, at least you spent the time to read it.
Besides that… more typing, less talking!
