False Reality?
Chapter Five – Changes
Desire burst into the room with a flash of light – a setback of teleporting when panicked. Dream soon appeared after her in the same brilliant flash of light. Grasping his hand tightly, she wove her way through the crowd until she came upon two certain people.
"Anger, Angst what's going on? What is this odd feeling?" Desire asked quickly, the panic rising to greater heights.
Angst shook his head, "No one knows, but it's all everyone is talking about."
"Whoever is doing this is going to pay dearly!" Anger threatened, though even her voice was a tad high with panic.
Desire turned her head sharply, glancing at a person covered, almost completely by others. "And Fear?" she asked hesitantly.
"Has nothing to do with it," Angst replied, gnawing at his bottom lip.
The purple glowed woman shivered and was soon embraced by Dream. Leaning into him the tired female closed her eyes. This wasn't normal. They weren't allowed to feel things that hadn't been created in this realm. The only thing close to panic was fear and he wasn't any stronger than normal.
Desire could feel her glow dimming so that you could nearly see her skin colour. No one had an inch of desire coursing through them and neither did she so she felt lighter headed than normal. She felt something explode and her eyes practically flew open.
"What!" was all she could manage.
The energy was stronger than anything had ever felt. She could feel every pulse of its power. Panic rose through her again until she felt like she was going to burst!
"Such pain…" she heard Dream rasp out.
What was it?
Desire let out a cry as she felt the power source get closer. They were all going to die! Was that even possible? Am I going to die this way? She thought desperately. No! I never slept with Apathy or Insanity yet! It's too soon to die! I must bed them!
Suddenly the load felt lighter and she could get up. Rising slowly from the floor, Desire surveyed the area around her. The others were still on the floor in pain.
Hm, I think I like seeing them in this position, Desire thought as her eyes landed on Insanity and Apathy, hell, even Naiveté was looking good!
The power didn't seem to hurt as much now, in fact, it didn't hurt at all. She could still feel it, however, but it was more pleasant now. Desire stood limply, basking in the waves of power as it came closer still.
"Desire, you always did disgust me," a voice from in front of her called.
She opened her eyes to look at the dark clad figure. She had never seen him before. "I wouldn't know, we cannot feel disgust."
"Well, you couldn't feel panic until now either, could you?" the figure, which she identified as a male, replied.
Desire faltered, "Yes… but, that was a freak accident."
The man grinned, "Of that I'm sure."
"Why are you here? How are you here? From what I know, no others but those who are like us could enter," Desire snapped not feeling all too merciful.
"Yes, well, I always was the exception to every rule," the creature answered, twirling a strand of his black hair around his finger.
"Who are you?" Desire paused then tried again, "What are you?"
He yawned, "That would take far too long to explain to you, little girl. All I can say is that I am not a human, I am not an emotion and I can assure you that I am not an animal."
"I didn't ask you what you weren't," Desire pressed, glancing quickly at her, now still, comrades.
"I tried my best didn't I?" he raised his hand in defence, "Besides, I'm not here to play QA with you. I'm here strictly on business."
"Oh?" she crossed her arms across her chest, "And what is this business of yours?"
He lolled his head to the side and smirked, winking at her from behind his pitch black sunglasses, "This."
And then all she could see was the black of his glasses as she fell.

Noriko screamed as she woke up feeling an extreme pain in her back. Wrapping her arms around herself she tried to calm herself down.
"What's the matter? Why did you scream?" her husband asked from her side.
The light haired woman turned to him emotionlessly. There was a long pause before Noriko jumped on her husband and started the night activities.

Ryuichi let out a snort and twitched and he felt an odd something tickle his feet. Letting out an even louder snort he rolled over and slept undisturbed.
However, on the other side of the hall Shuichi was awoken by his lover when said writer rushed to the bathroom puked out his guts. Rubbing his eyes, Shuichi smiled at (what he believed to be) his lovers cute behaviour.

Suguru practically jumped out of bed when he felt it. Shaking slightly, he untangled himself from the blankets and walked over the mirror by his door. Standing in front of the mirror he stared. Coming to the conclusion that nothing was out of the ordinary he relaxed slightly, relief flooding his system.
And then he saw it. A flicker of colour behind his ruby eyes. Panic and fear closed in around him, suffocating him. Moving away, Suguru let out a strangled cry shaking his head in horror.
"N-no! Leave me alone! Go away!" Suguru begged he voice bordering on hysterical, "YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!"
A flash of light struck out from the mirror and he was gone. Nothing but the rumpled blankets to prove he was there at all. And the mirror's glass rippled harmlessly.
