Chapter 2~ Rules of the Land
Mission 2~ Locate new Uniform
There were very slight differences in this world from Earth. All the color seemed dimmed, almost ghost-like. Grey and black dominated the surrounding. It was like walking around colorblind. Nothing glowed, save a few gems here and there. Silver looked like iron, and gold like brass. People, not cars, dominated the roads. The roads were dirt and stone. Buildings were stone only, no color in any of them, only stone. Even the people seemed dim, like shadows.
No matter how dim the outside looked, the inside of any building was full of color. It was like the people here were protecting the color from the fading effect outside their walls. Every shop was filled with things of all times. Swords that were used in the times of the Greek gods lay beside cell phones and laptops. The experience was amazing, like nothing you would ever see I life. However, the fascination didn't last too long. Exploring isn't very exciting when a fellow explorer is impatient.
" Honesty Heero, I thought you'd died! You've been staring at the stupid crystal for centuries!" Duo complained loudly. Heero sighed, this boy was very annoying.
" Buy it."
" Why? It's my money I earned it!" Duo said, flailing his arms in a comical fashion. Even Heero had to smirk.
" Because if you buy it I'll stop staring at it." Heero said, picking up the small deep purple crystal and placing it in Duo's hand. The braided boy glared for a few moments, then sighed and walked over to the cashier and handed him a few golden coins and a very small ruby. The man examined them for a short while, then said something in a language Heero couldn't understand.
" Uvec su kodanda?"* He said, motioning to the crystal. Duo placed his hands on his hips and shifted his weight.
" Yetu ko?"** He asked, or at least, it sounded like a question. The man held up a silver chain he had in his pocket. Duo seemed to consider for a while.
"Ko kloi su ghasha?"***Duo said, again sounding like a question. The man shook his head.
" Su eerf."~* He replied, holding out his hand for the crystal. Duo smiled and turned to Heero.
" You want it on a necklace?" He asked, holding up the crystal. Heero was surprised at Duo's fluancy in such a strange language. It was not surprising when he thought of it later. This world was a coming together of all times, this was probably a dead language on Earth, or not even from Earth. After collecting his thoughts, Heero nodded. The man smiled and went into a backroom while Heero busied himself with looking at some clothes, the things he was actually suppose to be looking at. His eyes were wandering the seemingly endless wrack of clothes with interest. He was looking at an ancient Japanese kimono when he felt Duo's hand on his shoulder.
" Listen, you need something dark and revealing. That's pretty much the dress coat for people like us, the leaders. Oh yeah, and you'll need one thing that no one else has one, so people can recognize you in the dark. It has to be bright too. Got it?" He said, patting his roommates shoulder. Heero straightened up and searched the clothes for a shirt fitting hat description. A few rows away was a shirt that caught his eyes, He wandered his way over towards it and picking it off the wrack. It was a black silk shirt, nearly transparent. It had no sleeves and a deep V-neck that ended a centimeter from the end of the shirt. Heero guessed that it would work and hung it on his wrist, raising his eyes to find a pair of similar pants.
" Hey Heero, how bout these!" He heard from behind him. Turning, he found Duo a few rows away, holding a pair of low cut jeans. They were black, of course. They were cut off at what looked like the knee and tattered, like they were ripped. Heero compared them to the shirt he had picked out and the seemed to go well. Just then, the man reappeared, calling to Duo.
"Orona! Ranku gyla santig eta Chent."^* He said, tossing the crystal necklace to Duo. Duo smirked and gave the man a half-hearted wave. The braided boy studied the necklace for a few seconds, as if to estimate it's worth. Shortly after, he tossed it to its owner.
" Keep a close eye on that. Thieves of all kinds land here." Duo said, smirking as he held up a watch sure to belong to the shop owner. Even Heero had to smirk.
*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
They ended up purchasing the outfit the two of them had picked out. Heero now wore it, feeling a little uncomfortable with as much skin showing as was being shown. The shirt had fit him perfectly, the low cut ending at his navel, displaying his toned chest nicely. The sleeves were loose, ending about mid forearm. The pants were placed dangerously low on the hips, causing Heero to pull them up every few hours. The purple crystal hang around his neck, strung on a silver chain.
Currently, the two were walking back to the club, both dressed in club uniform. Eyes keener now, Heero saw Duo steal a few trinkets here and there. Heero himself caught a few unlucky pickpockets trying to steal money he didn't have. Duo had caught many more, and sent them all scurrying away. Duo could be very scary if he wanted to.
After a couple minutes walking, another pickpocket attempted to steal the crystal that hung around Heero's neck. Patients worn thin, Heero's bad habits resurface. He grabbed the man by the collar and threw him up against a nearby wall.
" I've had it! I shouldn't even let scum like you live! You're just like a leech, an evil creature whom depends on sucking the life from others." Heero growled. A heat grew within his stomach, but he ignored it.
" Please.don't hurt me." The man begged. Heero looked at him with a look of pure disgust.
" Have some dignity, leech." Heero spat, anger high now.
" Heero, man, calm down." Heero heard his roommate saw from behind him. Heero turned and shouted at him as well.
" You shut up. You're just as bad as he is. You're nothing but a good for nothing, rotten." Burning sensations ignited around his eyes, causing them to water. ". son of a bitch." The burning grew hotter. " .who couldn't survive if it wasn't for others. You're a leech! Just like this scum." Heero spat. Suddenly the burning was so fierce that Heero screamed in pain. His eyes felt like they were on fire and his vision was nothing but white. The burning sensation surrounded him, blocking him off from the world. He screamed, but couldn't hear himself. He couldn't hear anything but the deafening cry of fire. Then the burning sensation began to wane.
" Calm down Heero! You'll hurt someone." Heero heard Duo's voice faintly in the distance. The sounds started to come back and his skin cooled. He felt himself drop to his knees, breathing hard. Slowly his vision returned. Sweat dripped off his face. A hand gently rubbed his back.
" You alright man?" Duo asked, concern dripping from his voice. He couldn't find his voice, he just nodded.
" Thank god I made sure they were fire-proof." Duo sighed, helping his friend to his feet. That statement confused Heero. Then he noticed the burn marks and ash that extended in a 3-foot circle around him. He looked at Duo, to find that parts of his clothes were singed. " What happened?" he asked, staring at the ash and soot that surrounded him. Duo chuckled, wiping some ash off his shorts.
" You discovered what I meant by 'power'."
