Man, I'm just too tired…
Well, in times like this, I thank myself for writing chapters in stocks, I can slack off and nobody will notice.
To tell you the truth, I was finally over my writing block, and even started a new part of the story, but then, the unimaginable happened. My computer burned out.
Not the computer itself, of course, just the power supplier, so for the last 4 days I had to work from my brothers computer with my injected Hard Disk. It means I had no privacy to watch all the anime. And I couldn't even burn them down… that's just so annoying!
The story ended when I got a replacement power supplier. But I'm still too damn lazy to properly edit this chapter.
Other than that, I started reading Masion Ikkoku manga, which is really Rumiko-ish and fun, looks like Ranma in it's best form – countless misunderstanding, and one really unlucky dude, I just really like it. I don't know how good the anime is, but I think I'll pass, unless it's really good, and if so, plz inform me.
And last thing, next week I'm getting the report cards for the first half of the year, so wish me luck.
On with the story!
Oh, and by the way, this chapter has some implied Shogou Ai in it, and is a bit weird, but it's just this one, so don't worry if it sucks.
Chapter 6: Rainbow Eyed Obsession
"You o.k.? Shally?' Gray tried to talk with her, the girl has ignored everything, her whole existence has focused on the branch, tears flowed down her face like rivers, her eyes gazed down, trying to recreate what was lost, the spectacular view of the creature.
"how long was she like this?" Ealla asked, she suspected that her subordinate has fallen to some demonic power that even she wasn't aware of, but it didn't make any sense to her, the demon was a simple minded one, not even strong enough to defeat a genin, and no smart enough to trick one away, him having powers such as this wasn't logical.
"how is she?" Karen asked, her voice ringed through Shallys mind, it wasn't much, but it somewhat reminded her of the demon howling, she looked at her teammate, and then she realized her eyes twitched at her sight just like when she saw the demon. "I'm fine, lets go" Shally answered, and swore to herself to see all the colors again, and now she just understood how.
---------------Sound Kage's office---------
"damn it, damn it, Damn IT!" he shouted mentally, the weaponry advancement has become so fast that it was now confirmed that even a high speed shurikan wasn't able to deflect a straight bullet well, he suspected it wouldn't be long until another immediate Kages conference will be held to discuss the changes that were becoming a necessity.
"less students… less fighting… less villages… much less missions…" it was all a part of the industrial revolution, this year's Chunin exam was decided to be a full demon hunt, and Tsubakeruo feared that one particular girl might find more information on her origin, more information that could shake her whole world.
***************************************
"She's still there" Karen said in her mind, "what's wrong with that girl? I can swear that even when I dream she's there…" The kyubi answered, "those are my dreams, I doubt you can even dream…" she corrected the demon.
"well, there was a time that I was able to dream… and besides, what's mine is yours, like my chackra and what's yours is mine, like the dreams and senses" he answered, all his hopes of being free were crushed while he was a part of her father, and now he was quite happy with his position. He never had such an insight at the mortal realm, most of his visits were just mass destruction and massacre, he had only one visit that was different, and that one has eventually led to his current state.
Shally hasn't let her eyes of Karen during the past week, she hasn't let go of her special sight as well. The old Shally would have fallen to the floor with laguter if someone would have said that she'll be spying on another girl's house day and night, but the new Shally didn't see anything wrong with it now, even if someone would ask her about it, she would just dismiss him, after all, nobody else saw what she saw, nobody else…
She saw the shadow of the door moving, she got up on her feet, she saw her target moving out, a wide spray of color flowed out of Karen when she looked at her stalker, but it immediately disappeared. Even that small flash was a heavenly experience for Shally, the sweet sound of the footsteps rushed down her core, she it was like a symphony of drums that never stopped playing.
She saw some people staring at her strange behavior, but each time she smelled her target she found new meanings for her pursuit, even though, Shally knew that everything she felt at that moment, was just a small portion of what she could feel, all that she had to do now was to find out how make Karen project the rest of her… Beauty.
***********Shally's POV***********
White: she is white. White like her eyes, white like a cloud, white like her pale beauty, can she be whiter? Can I make her whiteness shine? Shine like light? White is calmness, she is always calm, she never gives in to anyone, she never allows nothing to escape. White is amazing, but still, white is only the start…
Pink: sometimes she's pink, not much, but when she looks at her fox, she is pink. She is pink also when the boys talk to her, pink is for those who like her. Is she pink when I'm around? What goes beyond pink?
Blue: she's allways blue, but she keeps it inside, she never cries or shows her blue side, but it's always there. I wonder where does her blue come from? Blue is beutifull, but what is the opposite of blue? If I'll talk to her more often, will the blue get stronger or will it become pink?
Violet: violet is for hurt, when she fails to stick to a tree, when she hits the ground, when she stabbed herself with a kunai, when she couldn't avoid that shurikan. Will the violet scream out when if I'll attack her? will it flow even more? How do violet and red look together?
Red: red is two things, red is love and red is anger, sometimes it's both at the same time, what kind of red will she show if I would touch her? Will she be red with anger and try to strike me? Or will she be red with love and touch me as well? Red is the most beautiful side of her I ever seen, red is her essence, red is what makes her Karen, can I make myself one with her? Can I make her red spray on to me?
Black: I've never seen Karen black, but I've seen the demon black, it was beyond words, black when the dog vanished into thin air, black when his blood turned into gas. What kind of black will Karen be? Will she black quickly without a trace like the dog? or perhaps she'll black for a long time until the end? If we're red and I would stab her, will the red turn to black? Or will the red and black flow out together? Should I try to bring the black out? Is black part of red? Or is the red a part of the black? Black is the ultimate best, red is only a foreshadowing of black, both of the reds bring the black, the black is the conclusion of life, black is what life leads to…
***************Sound Kage office*****************
"I'm sorry it happened, sis" Tsubakerou didn't use that word ever since he left the rock village and joined that Akatsuki, he knew how much she was hurt when he left, he wasn't just her older brother, he was her role model for the future. She wasn't only his little sister, she was also the one person that never tried to push him to do something. "don't be, you basterd, you have no right to be" she hissed at him, she hated herself for following his footsteps and leaving the rock, and she hated herself for following the false illusion that they could be a family again at the sound. And now she lost her daughter, and he could have prevented it!
"you make me sick, I don't want to see you ever again" she said once more, she held Shally close to her, the girl was chanting colors and feelings, it wasn't new, it was their curse of blood, they were instructed to keep it in check each second of the day, because one slip would bring the end of the person's sanity. Unlike other bloodlines, the Rainbow eyes didn't require seals to activate, the seals were what held the eye sight back.
"what are you going to do?" the question rumbled down through her head, she knew what must be done, it was a necessity, when the proper treatment wasn't taken, tragedies happened, human sacrifices to demons in mass numbers, maidens offered on a daily basis to torture, every one of the cases where humans bowed down to demons was that bloodline fault, and now, her brother didn't protect Shally, and it meant the end of the girls life.
"I wonder how long is shally going to be on that mission" Doro asked, they were in a middle of a regular dog walking D-ranked mission, and the sound genin realized that he quite missed the girls attitude towards them all. "don't bother yourselves with it, she'll be back once it's done, its some family tradition, from what the Kage said, it varies between two months and a few years" Ealla said, she was confused as well about the disappearance, she knew that Shally didn't come from anyone of the sound's big families, and that even if she did, it wouldn't be such a matter to involve the Kage with. But still, the Kage has made it personal business, and made sure that everyone would know not to talk about it.
"Anyway, next month is a special occasion! You get to go to the chunin exams!" she stated, she knew that both the boys will go wild from the declaration, and that Karen will follow, but Ealla couldn't help but wonder how will the girl deal with the demons which lurked in the ruins of the leaf village.
"tell me the truth, do you know what happened to Shally?" Karen asked the Kyubi, "… yes…" he finally replied with hesitation, "tell me" she shouted at him, "I shouldn't, there's nothing you can do about it anyway…" he wanted to avoid answering, stories such as those ones were best kept away from kids of her age, "I don't care, tell me" she demanded.
"Just remember that they had to do it…" the fox gave up "Shally comes from a special clan with special bloodline, not a really useful one, it's more of a curse than of a blessing, it enables her to see demonic chackra formation, which is a thing that even the Hyuga Byakougan cannot do…
The problem is that demon chackra is addicting, one look at it and you're done for. Nothing can bring back someone after it, it originated with Shika, the deer demoness, she transformed into a human one day, she was shocked from the amount of love she received because of her beauty, but there was one man that didn't pay any attention to her, she got mad and returned to the demon realm, then the pig demon suggested that she'll kidnap him and torture him until he admits her beauty.
She returned to the mortal and did it, but then she found out he was blind and mute, so no matter what torture he would be under, he wouldn't say anything. She returned once more to the demonic realm, and then the butterfly demon suggested that she would mix her blood with wine and give him a blood transfer, of course the deer demoness followed the advice, since they were her best friends, as much as demons can have friends…
The blood transfer cured the man's condition but imbued him with a bloodline revenge, all of his descendants will see demon chackra and will submit themselves to it's beauty" he stopped the story for a second, allowing Karen to comprehend the story, he knew what question was going to follow, and he knew damn well what emotion will the girl carry inside her soul from now on: Guilt.
"What really happened to Shally?' She asked, the fox sighed "she was taken to the same place her ancestor was kidnapped to; there she'll join an ageless cult of all the people who fell to that bloodline and will begin to pray for Shika's beauty until the end of times".
"great! The chunin exam will be in the leaf village!" Karen stated, it was rare for her to show her happiness, "what?" the nine-tailed fox screamed inside of her, it didn't make any sense to him, from his past experience with Naruto he expected that Karen will decide that she was the trigger to Shally's curse and torture herself with agonizing. Like Naruto did with Iruka after that failed mission, Like what happened with Sasuke and even Choji, Naruto considered all of them his faults, "I'll never understand mortals" he growled to himself.
-----Chapter 6 – Rainbow Eyed Obsession – End-----
well, I had my ranting time before, so he comes the shout outs (!)…
Synaptix:
Well, I don't like simple plots, the story will have enough twists to last for a lifetime, so stay tuned…
And the modern technology? It won't come up again for at least ten chapters, but after that, who knows?
Eikou:
Let's go by this point by point…
Shaman King: I finally finished it, it was pretty average, and I checked the SK section, it has so much yaoi that I'm gone throw up. And even if I could ignore that, there just aren't any good stories, which is really bizarre, since you can work almost any character into a major complicated life story. And no one really cares about Opacho anyway, his\her only use is to show us that Hao has really lost it in the end, and that it's "ok" to kill him now.
Army: the training and the food aren't the real problem, it's just that I'm going to spend there 3 years of my life. No matter how you look at it, it's just too long.
Studying tips: well, thanks for them; I'm going to try the 'drink a lot' thing, it sound like a good idea.
Narutaru: well, I'm not going to deny that Houshimaru (the yellow\orange star) is the cutest thing ever created, and I don't go around saying kawaii on everything. But nevertheless, Narutaru is one messed up anime, and once you get past the third episode, then people start dying, but houshimaru is still cute. I don't think you can compare it to YGO, which is a just a pokemon-like anime, with the merchandising theme and the totally funny bunch of heroes, Narutaru is different.
Damn, that's all folks, read and review, the next few chapters are gonna be pretty messed up.
