STORY CO-WRITTEN BY ME AND roymustanglover...she's on my fav authors list if you wanna check it out...
The sky was a brilliant shade of bright red, whisks of dull orange and golden yellow with hints of faint pink lit the evening sky as the sun set. It couldn't be later than seven o' clock in the Demon Planes. Most were inside, families or not, smiling and laughing almost like a human family. And although there were a few demons and such wandering around outside, the only ones who seemed to stand out were two lone girls. This was because they had been outside since daybreak. One sat in a tall oak tree, and the other not far off, walking towards the one in the tree.
"One little, two little, three headless teddy bears! Four little five little six headless teddy bears! Seven little--Ah!" the little girl in the tree glanced up to feel the other girl, of the same age, standing below her, at the base of the tree. The one on the ground glanced up to observe the other with keen solid red eyes, an intelligent glint in them. The girl in the tree had shoulder lenght black silky hair and pale blue sky eyes that seemed to be clouded over by a thin filmy substance. She was blind.
The blind girl lept down from her branch, which was not a far drop, considering, and landed gracefully on er two feet. "Hi...I'm Hiyate. What's your name?" asked the blind girl.
The other girl blinked slowly and glanced at the outstreched hand the sky blue eyed girl was offering. She slowly reached out and took it, expression gaurded. They shook hands. "I'm Meeko..." the girl had beautiful scarlet red hair that matched the sky. It glinted fiery colors of golden and orange-red in the setting sun as she cocked her head at the black haired girl. 'Her bangs are too long..' was Meeko's only thought.
Hiyate's bangs were too long. They fell gently into her eyes. She wore a large pver-sized sweater, ripped a bit at the collar, and on her sleeves. She wore large, scuffed baggy pants as well.
Meeko on the other hand, wore a small black kimono, the once silky cloth now rugged and fraying. She toook a seat next to Hiyate on the ground. They sat in comftorable silence for a while. Then Meeko broke the silence.
"How did you...become blind?Umm...if you don't mind me asking, I mean.."
Hiyate smiled and shook her head, her short hair swinging in ebong trinsils around her face as she spoke."It's fine... but if you really need to know, then I may have to tell you the whole story."
"I have...time."
"Well..." Hiyate pulled her small knees up to her chest and rested her head on top. "I was born of a human mother and demon father. Whe my mother learned Father was a demon, she began to despise him and me. Since I was his offspring, that meant I had a little demon in me. She left when I was two. Father got mad. He blamed her leaving on me. It caused him to go practically insane, throwing things, hitting them...until one night, he threw a bottle at me. Luckily, it missed...but the shards hit my face...my eyes..Father disowned me soon after. He hated to look at me. Hated the fact that I was part human, Just like her. And he hated me for being part demon too. It reminded him of why she left. So he told me to go to the human world. That I wasn't wanted.." Hiyate's voice faded dismily. She had a forlorn look in her pale eyes, as she blankly stared off into the distance. At the sound of Meeko's voice, it vanished, and she looked up.
"Wow...I'm so...sorry." Meeko whispered, clasping her hands together. She tilted her head back to stare at the sky. "I know how you feel. My parents disowned me too."
"Really?" asked Hiyate excitedly. A smile spread across her lips. "Then we can go to the human world together!"
Meeko nodded, a small smile gracing her lips as well. She had just met this black haired girl...and yet they trusted each other..completely..."Yes...we can."
10 years later, in the Human World
Hiyate strained her ears for the faint, consistent sound of snoring inside her best friend, Meeko's room. Ever since coming to the human world, Hiyate worked at using her hearing instead of her blind eyes. It worked quite well, considering her ears were now super-sensitive and she had cat-like reflexes as well as flexibility.
Meeko on the other hand, had worked on her hand to hand combat by kick boxing, street fighting, or anything she found that might help some. Although she was a fairly good fighter, she was still unsure of her demonic powers.
Meeko, as a child, had grown up with two powerful demon parents. She, in their eyes, was pathetic. A waste of breathe. Her powers had never emerged as a child, and, as she grew older, she discovered, they only appeared when she was in emotional turmoil. When her anger was beyond control. Her claws could cut through the very fabrics of time and create a portal to the Demon Plane. It had only occured once, when she saw a few teenagers attemting to shove a boy with glasses down into a lake. They never were the same...
But still, despite all Meeko's progress, she still had trouble getting up in the morning.
'But that's what best friends are for, right?' Hiyate reasoned, nudging the door open with the toe of her boot. She gently swept her foot across the floor, searching for any debris. There was none, and Hiyate continued. She strode into the room with confidence and walked straight to for where she knew Meeko's bed was. She could hear small, muffled, snores coming from the bed and knew Meeko had her pillow on top of herhead.
Sighing, Hiyate reached toward the end of the bed where she suspected Meeko's ankle to be. As soon as she felt her hand wrapped around it, she yamked it hard, sending the previously sleeping Meeko off her bed and onto the floor witha thump.
"Ow! What the hell! Ah...Oh..did I sleep in again, Tay-chan? I'm sorry.." Meeko mumbled drowsily, brushing a strand of long sunset hair out of her eyes, yawning widly.
"Yes. And don't call me Tay-chan!" Hiyate spat crossly, turning to stalk out of the room.
"I know, I know..." Meeko sighed and picked herself up off the carpeted ground. The perks of living with you best friend in your own apartment: Your own wake up call.
Meeko wandered over to her closet and began shifting through. She decided ona simple black Kimono with slits up the side and red pants underneath. After dressing, she braided her hair into two long plaits down the sides of her body to her waist. Then wandered to the kitchen to find Hiyate sitting with a granola bar on the counter top in her usual outfit: a mid thigh black skirt with a black muscle shirt tank top and knee high boots with silver buckles gleemng up the sides. Her mid-back black hair in a single loose braid down her back and her much too long bangs shadowing her pale eyes. Her legs were swinging back and forth and she was singing quietly under her breath.
"Headless teddy bears?" Meeko questioned simply.
"Yup!"
"You should get something other than that for breakfast."
"No."
"Fiiiiiiiinnneeeeee.."
Hiyate smirked, glad she had won. Meeko noted this and fake pouted.
"Well-- well your short!"
"Hey!" Hiyate leaped down from the counter to walk up to her friend. She stood barely to her shoulder."Shut up, dammit! I'm not short!" she yelled.
Meeko only laughed and shook her head, red braids swishing. Come on, Let's go!" Don't we have to go to the store or something?"
Hiyate grumbled, but nodded her consent, remembering. The two grabbed their money and headed down the wooden steps and out into the human world...and even though they didn't know it, it wold be a while before they came back...
ok, i know this was short, but I just want to know...how is it? should I continue or what? and in the next chappie, I'll tell you one thing, they end up back in the demon planes...so should I continue? please review!
