'Wonderful, only four more years until I'm out of this office and in Canada; away from crazed girls and disturbed quadruplets…' I sighed to myself as I hung up the phone. (I had just finished calling my retirement office.) I had had enough of the therapy business. After the psychos I had to deal with, I was ready for a long vacation
I was digging through my desk for another bottle of aspirin when I heard a knock on what remained of my door."I'm terribly sorry but we're closed for the winter. Please come back at a later date in say… four years?" I called over my shoulder. (What? It was for the person's own good.) I continued to rummage in my desk when I heard a strange high-pitched hurried talking in some foreign language. I then heard a different voice.
"Winter? Here? Pfft. Yeah right. It's not cold enough here to make it actually be called winter. In fact… Winter does not exist here. It never did." The voice paused. "Well, except that one year when her mom said that it snowed… whatever, never mind. Just break down the door Death." It paused again. "Err… whatever's left of the door."
It was my turn to pause. Death? Had I died during the last session? I checked my pulse then scolded myself for thinking something so absurd. I didn't have enough time though to hide behind something because as soon as I finished, what remained of my door came flying in. When the dust cleared, standing in my doorway were two figures.
"Umm… Death? I told you to knock the door down, not blow it up." The first figure was tall, dressed in black from head to toe ('He said it wasn't cold so… why is he wearing a trench coat?' I thought quickly.), and his hair was black too.
"Sorrwe…" The other figure was a very short boy with an… abnormally large head. He was also dressed completely in black but had bright green spiky hair and large, overly cute eyes of the same color. As I stared at the two, something in my head finally clicked. The short boy was one Green had described in his story! Before I could open my mouth, the tall boy shoved the short one in front of me.
"Say it so we can get out of here. These clothes are driving me nuts! They make me feel like that guy from Faust…" muttered the tall boy. The smaller one (who I figured was Death) stuck out his lower lip, looked up at me and said once more, "Sorrwe…"
I, of course, had no idea what was really going on.
"Err… Thank you but… Who are you? And why are you apologizing? If it's about my door it wasn't in that good of a shape before you came so…"
"Yeah, yeah, we know," the tall boy irrupted me. "But seriously, you don't know who we are? Didn't any of them tell you? Didn't she tell…"
"Hey D! Guess what!" A loud yell came from the waiting room, nearly giving me a heart attack and surprised the tall boy so much he fell over. He stood up quickly; not even bothering to brush himself off or fix his hair that was standing up in an unreasonably silly manner.
"What! This better be good Oni, I was trying to act serious!" Leaning into what remained of my doorway was one of the oddest people I had every seen. It was a rather tall male with unnaturally white hair and disturbing pupil-less eyes. Odd blue markings covered his face. (He also had a somewhat blank look on his face.)
"Uhh…"
"Well!" D (Or whatever his name was) frowned. He had apparently noticed the state of his hair and was trying to fix it.
"Oh yeah… You won't believe me when I tell you this but… I found them. Green's passed out in some ally we went by on the way here. Red's bleeding to death on the sidewalk out in front. Blue is…err, was getting arrested for trying to take over that burger place we stopped at earlier but he claimed insanity and got off. Pink…" He paused to collect his thoughts. "I think I saw Pink walking to his SPA class, but then he went psycho and set fire to some hotdog stand but… I'm not that positive…"
D frowned again. "Wait, you saw them on our way here and didn't tell me?" The Oni person nodded. "Then what the hell, sorry… hael are we doing here!"
The Oni person shrugged. "Dunno, something about explain something to someone… You told me before but… I kind of forgot…" D sighed and muttered something along the lines of 'Useless…' but I couldn't be quite sure. Then he turned back to me.
"Look doc, I've got to go find the others. If you have any questions, I don't know, ask Oni or Death. I don't have time for this." D turned from me with a small wave of his hand. He must of thought I was out of ear shot because he started mumbling to himself. "Oh… we're brothers, didn't you know? Pfft. Yeah right. I can't believe I'm semi-related to any of those wakcos…"
I did a double-take. Brothers?
"Err… excuse me, did you just say… brothers?" The boy turned and only then did I notice that his eyes were red.
"You could call me, Green, Red, Blue, and Pink… brothers if you really want to exaggerate." He must have found some trace of horror on my face because he added, "Don't worry. I'm the only sane one out of the five of us. It's a bit saddening." and walked out.
Myself, the small boy named Death, and the Oni person sat in an awkward silence. That is, until Death started to hum and Oni cleared his throat.
"So… any… erm… questions? About… uhh… anything? The meaning of Life… what causes chibis to randomly start humming… Why Gifted language arts teachers lurk and manage to tolerate their students and a entire Brain Bowl team without going insane?"
I blinked. "Err… how about what ever your friend D was going to explain before you came in?" Oni bit his lower lip. "Uhh… why don't you let Death handle that? I think I hear D calling. Bye!"
Now only the small, overly cute boy named Death and myself sat it what remained of my office. (Well, Death was also picking his nose so… I'm not sure if that counts as sitting.)
"Umm…" Death started after wiping a rather large booger on my wall. "You see, I was walking and I was practicing my ninja stuft just like BT told me to do and then I ran into this weird looking guy in tights," He paused. "I'm not really sure why he was wearing tights but whatever, and so I ran into him and I was practicing my hand signs for Art of the Doppelganger, which I never ever seem to get right but that time I got it right and somehow spilt the weird tights-guy into four different people. It was kind of scary. I ran off screaming like I usually do when I accidentally poke somebody. I thought I was going to get in trouble with BT but she said that that was good and gave me a sticker and everything and told me that was just the thing that she had needed to happened and then she talked to some princess lady and then sent all of them here to you and…" He stopped when he noticed the look of confusion on my face.
"And I just remembered that BT told D and Oni and me not to tell you that and so now I think I'm in trouble and this time I don't think I'll be getting a sticker…" Death turned as he trailed off. Then he paused, took a deep breath, and ran off screaming like a small girl being murdered with a sharp knife (Or quite possibly a spoon).
This left me only to my thoughts. This is what I had gathered from all that had happened so far: Death was walking through a field practicing some ninja nonsense when he ran into Green. Whatever ninja nonsense Death was practicing did something to Green and caused him to turn into four different people each with a unique but equally horrifying personality defect. (I'm still don really sure about that D fellow. He wasn't mentioned in either of Death or Green's accounts so I guess he appeared due to some earlier incident.)
Death then thought he was in trouble for what he had done but discovered when he reported back to his higher ranking official, that he had done something according to plan. This 'BT' girl had then talked to her higher ranking official and then sent them to me and…
I paused. All of this sounded eerily familiar. Just then a patient's parting words echoed once more through my mind.
You will pay for trying to invade the innermost corners of my mind! It's my sacred happy place! Mark my words, you WILL PAY! And it will come it a way closest to you! You have been warned!
'The BT girl that Death spoke of… is she…?'As I continued to ponder my silent disturbing thoughts, it almost seemed like I could hear the all too familiar sound of a certain old patient's psychotic laughter echoing from down the hall…
