A New Overlord
To all those who read this, please keep in mind that it's been a while since I've last written fan fiction. I haven't exactly gotten my skills up to standard. I'll be working hard to get back to my old style of writing but for the time being, please bear with me. Also, any reviews on how I could make this better would be greatly appreciated. I'll be sure to take all your comments into account. Now, with that being said, let's get on with the first chapter.
Chapter 1-The Indicator
It was a Tuesday day morning in September. School had been in session for about two weeks now. Students were preoccupied with purchasing supplies and completing assignments and spending time with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Yes, the high school year was already in full swing for the students. Except for one student in particular. 15 year old Chiaki Hyafumi was preoccupied with something that interested her more than books and homework. Chiaki was investigating the existence of the netherworld. She had been ever since she thought she saw an odd penguin shaped shadow on her way to school one day. Her research led her to believe that what she thought she saw was a prinny. Chiaki was on her way to school when she had spotted her friend Miroku Megami.
"Hey, Miroku!" Chiaki yelled as she approached him.
"That voice….kind of like nails on a chalkboard. It could only be…." Miroku said as he turned around to face Chiaki. "Chiaki."
"Aww, you don't sound like you're happy to see me." Chiaki said as she made her eyes cloudy with tears. It was something she knew she could do in order to make Miroku feel guilty.
"No! I'm very happy to see you! You don't have to be upset!" Miroku sputtered nervously as he tried to keep Chiaki from crying.
"I thought so." Chiaki said with a condescending tone of voice. "You stopped to get something to eat again, didn't you? Why don't you just eat at home?"
"Nothing that I feel like having at home."
"Then just what do you feel like eating?" Chiaki said as she snatched the wrapper out of Miroku's hands.
"Hey! Don't just take something that doesn't even belong to you. If you must know, I'm having a double fudge donut."
"How can you eat this junk so early in the morning?" Chiaki said with a maternal voice. "Aren't you worried about your health?"
"I just eat one in the morning for the energy. I usually eat healthy. You know that. You're the one who's always bringing that organic stuff to my house."
"I'm just looking out for you. Oh! By the way, there's something I want to show you." Chiaki said as she rifled through her school bag.
"Something you want to show me?" Miroku echoed. "It's not another "Purple Penguin Feather" is it?"
"I swear to you that they exist!" Chiaki said earnestly. "But that's not what I wanted to show you anyway. I wanted you to see this." Chiaki said as she pulled a compass-like item out of her bag.
Miroku looked the item up and down before taking it from Chiaki's hand. He gave the entire thing a once over and then handed it back to her.
"You wanted show me a strange looking compass? Oooh, how special." Miroku teased.
"It's not a compass!" Chiaki snapped. "It's a mana power indicator. I bought it from that occult shop near the mall." Chiaki said with pride.
Well, that's the end of chapter one for now. I have to get to school. I'll try to get the next chapter up shortly and hopefully I'll remember to make it longer this time.
