Katoria Kinshutoroo sat on the stone railing outside of Mitchell Public Library with a thick red volume held up in front of her face.This was where she spent all of her free time.This was her favorite place in the world.Yes she loved to read, but her interest in the library was also owed partly to the fact that Trinna and her gang of friends were both too popular to be seen at a library and ,undoubtedly, too supid to tell the top of a book from the bottom yet alone figure out how to open one and read it.
It was a beautiful spring day.The sun was high in the sky and the leaves the greenest they would get all year in Hillsdale.Katoria had just come from Hillsdale Highschool,the most miserable place she had ever been.
A group of girls who had always been anything but nice to her stopped at the end of the stone path.The blond in the front stepped forward but retreated instantly as though crossing the threshold of a place that might actually contain knowledge physically ailed her.
"I like your shirt."She said sarcastically in a venomous voice."So,are the safety-pins to hold it together or something?"
Laughing Releena led the other girls away.
With a dignant yet hurt look on her face Katoria looked down at herself.She was dressed all in black.Around the seams of her shirt were several pins.Two strands of purple hair fell from behind her ears.
"You can't make me ashamed of myself, Ms.Dorlin."
"That's the spirit!" Came a cheerful voice from behind her.
Turning, she saw a boy of around her age also dressed in black with gold dragons on his stomach and a baseball cap over his eyes.
Her heart dropped.
"You come to make fun of me too!"She asked closing the book and climbing to her feet. "Because I'm really not in the mood."She reentered the library on the verge of tears.
"I'm not going o make fun of you."The boy reassured her grabbing her arm gently to slow her down."I'm Duo Maxwell."He held out his free hand for her to shake.
"Katoria Kinshutoroo."Mumbled Katoria."I'm sorry about that.I-I just havn't had a good day at all."
"OOOH,I know how that goes."Said Duo."And I meant what I said out there.You shouldn't let anyone change you.so,you come here often?"
Katoria nodded.
"Every day."
"That's cool.I've never been here.I like the color of it though:like my eyes.I just moved here from California.My sister ,Duet, was bugging me so I went for a walk and here I am.Not that you really care,so,yeah,nice shirt.Really."
Katoria laughed before she could stop herself.
"Yeah,I always rant."Duo grinned."I.I-Run!"His voice had dropped to a wisper."Run!Now!Get away from here!You must not be here when-when the worst happens!"
"Whatare you talking about?"Katoria did not move.
"Go!"Roared Duo.
This earned him a nasty look from the librarian.Duo grabbed both of Katoria's wrists and twisted them infront of her lifting her off of her feet and carrying her outside where he lay her down as softly as he could with her struggling like she was on the grass.
"Stay."He whispered running his hand over her.And with that he ran back inside.
It was now plain to see the cause of Duo's panic.The upper floor of the library had caught fire.People were beginning to crowd around on th lawn,yelling,screaming,calling for help.
She tried to sit up but could not no matter how hard she struggled.It was like some kind of magic was holding her still,keeping her from moving.making her stay.
_________inside of the library_________
Duo stretched to his full height.He looked menacing and out of place.Smoke had begun to fill the entire building.
"DUH!SMOKE!FIRE!GET OUT!"He scrame but everyone looked to shocked to move."Go now before it is too late!"
This time everyone obeyed.
"People like you keep me in business."She sighed when the room was clear.
He romoved his cap.A mas of chestnut hair spilled out from beneath it in a neat braid.
"I- am- Shinigami!"A light flashed around Duo.When it had gone he was no longer dressed in a pant-suit but in a set of flowing black robes tattered and torn giving it a creepy look.His hair was loose and , though there was no wind, blew as though caught in a storm.In his right hand was a silver scythe of green flame.
Slowly he climbed the staircase.
"And he will come and to the depths of hell carry your soul that you may not sin again."Recited Duo."And to the clouds of heaven he will lead you that you may rest your weary soul. Rejoice, for you have lead the life of the richous."
The floor rotted beneath his feet.Flames leapt higher before him.
There she was on the floor before him:a small girl with dark red hair anf emerald green eyes coughing and sluttering.Ash covered her pale face.
(A.N.I liked this one,so I hope you do.Sorry it is so short.It would have been shorter but I combined part of the second chapter with the first.I appriciate all reviews.Don't worry,Duo will become more like Duo shortly.Man I love Duo.)
I would really appriciate any reviews received and ...yeah...this is my first one,so,please,be gentle.
