The following story is a Skullgirls fanfiction, i own nothing but my ocs, Skullgirls is property of Autumn Games and Lab Zero.
Well this day started out fine, i missed the bus to school, had no time to eat breakfast and i just sleept in class which got me a ruler to the back of my head from Mrs. Victoria (and trust me she's stronger than she looks), i really hope this day doesn't get any worse, but for my own good i better not say that out loud, in order to not jinx myself.
But now, none of that mattered, i was now walking the school hallways with my two best friends (and also my only friends)Filia and Carol.
"You know Pietro, lately you've been sleeping alot in class" Carol said in her usual shy yet caring tone, Carol was one, if not, the sweetest girl i have ever had the honor to meet, even more to be one of her friends, unfortunaly Carol was very shy, Very very shy, matter of fact the only reason she's hanging out with us in the first place, was because one day i had promised Filia we would take a walk through the city of New Meridian, but i oversleept, so in order to kill her boredom, she spotted Carol and decided to make some small talk with her, i don't know how that went initialy, but by the time i got there, they were basicaly best friend now, the tree of us walked through the city, with Filia asking Carol if she would like to hang out with us, she was hesitant at first, but Filia was one though girl, and no matter how impossible it seemed, she always had her way somehow, from that day on we became, best friends, Filia must have been so pleased with Carol hanging with us that she must have completely forgotten i had arrived late.
"Don't worry Carol, i just must have been tired i guess." I said trying to rid Carol of her worries.
"Still, maybe you should figure out what it is that's making you so tired" Carol said still, worried about my lack of attention in class, she was also very caring and always tried to help her friends in the best way, in this case me "maybe you should go to the doctor?"
I admit, i was bit embarrased by Carol's worriedness, how could you not like this girls? But just like they say, were theres light there's darkness, and that darkness manifasted it self in the form of…
"Come on Carol, give him a break, he's probably just been staying wake past his bed time, isn't that rigth little Pietro?" Filia… dear dear Filia… Filia was well a bit more complex, she is very teaseful and a bit disregardful at some times, but she was also at the same time very protective, not only of herself but also of her me and Carol, we go way back, when we met we were only in second grade, that was seven years ago, the same year the previous ruler Queen Nancy Renoir had turned into the Skullgirl, the same year the Great War ceased. At our school Filia was extremely popular.
Why? Well for one very simple reason, she was a Medici, the most infuencial family in the whole Canopy Kingdom, not only that but she was the grandaugther of the head of the family, Lorenzo Medici, he was ruthless assertive and dominant, every single opponet he faced met their end at his hands. HELL! He even fought a Skullgirl before and stood his own ground! He was a man to be feared, and because of that blood that ran through her veins, Filia was the most feared in the intire school, because if any of the kids did anything to her, well, it would be safe to assume they would get a suprisse when they got home, even teachers feared her, she was also very influencial and cunning, knowing what she wanted and when she wanted, and she always got what she wanted.
It was also because of these reasons that every kid in school treated her like royalty, in hopes that they would be picked to become her friend, but despite all of this, it only made Filia's life miserable, to be honest life at home wasn't that good for her, she didn't suffer any abuse or anything related, but most times she was left alone, with no one but her maids, while she got all the attention in school, it was only because of her family tree, not because of Filia herself, this only made her feel more lonely. In some ways she was the strongest of the three of us, being strong enough to survive and overcome all of her obstacles.
" Hey, Captain Space, you're listening?" Filia's words forced me to pop my bubble of thougths as we were still walking in the hallways, wait… we were still in the hallways?
Um… time really does look diferente when your so focused in your thougths.
"Looki know you're tired and all, but don't be sleeping in the middle of the hallways like that, you may bump into someone." Filia said, sort of annoyed of the way that i had just turned off from our conversation" You may even get sneak attacked by Mrs. Victoria again, maybe this time she'll knock she sleep out of you" the Medici then said in a playful tone.
"OH YEAH….WELL….UHHHHHH…." my mind tried to think of a comeback, one that would utterly devastate her, but alas, nothing came, instead na awkward stare emerged between, me and the blond haired girl, my mind still thinking of a response, Filia with a smirk that said that she had already won, and a confused Carol starring at both of us, awaiting for something to come out of my mouth.
"Want me to kiss you?" the Medici girl said as i was….wait….what did she just say…k…k…kiss me?!
Like straight in the mouth?!
Like only lovers do?!
It…It got hot all of the sudden, wait, IT'S ME, IM BLUSHING LIKE CRAZY, C…CRAP.
"Pffttt….HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Filia started to burst in laugther as she held onto the wall, in order no fall to the ground in laugther "Man, you should see youself, your more red than a Mapplecreast apple, matter of fact…" she took out her makeup box from her bag and opened it and brougth the mirror side it to my face, dear Trinity she was rigth… i was blushing like crazy.
"hehehe…" i heard a faint laugther and turned to see Carol trying to hold a laugh, but failing miserably.
"C….Carol, you too?"
"I..Im not laughing, it was someting else"
"LIKE WHAT?"
"…Ok i was laughing at you, b…but if it makes you feel better i definately think that you and Filia would be a great couple."
Now it was Filia's time to turn red, i also may have gotten a little more redder, like, unhealty levels of red.
I don't know if Carol did it on purpose or just by pure accident, she had just make Filia blush in embarrasment, Carol just did what i have been trying to do for these past seven years….Godess damnit.
"H..Hey wh…why so red Filia, y…you embarrased?" i said trying to act all tough, but it was visibly clear that i too was very embarrased.
" S…Shut up, y…your also embarrased" she retorted to me, pointing to me, her finger being awfully close to my face, "T…this one dosen't count, it was Carol not you who got me embarrased.
We both turned our heads agains the opposite direction of each other in order to avoid eye contact, as poor Carol walked between as acting as some sort of barrier, all she could say was
"Did i do something wrong?" Carol was also somewhat oblivious to some situations at times.
We were all at the gates to school, Carol said goodbye to me and Filia as the three of us made our seperate ways, me and Filia however, walked the same path seeing as we both lived in the same street.
"Boy, glad that is over." i said as i released a sigh of relieve.
"Agreed, i think i want to put this day behind me. No im sure i want to put this day behind me." Filia said also relieved that she and Pietro could final put that little accident in the hallways behind them." Still can't believe Carol was able to embarrass me, damn, she already beat you too it."
"You're rigth…..what a shamefull defeat…I VOW TO ONE DAY NOT ONLY EMBARRASS YOU FILIA MEDICI BUT TO ALSO EMBARRASS THE GODS THEM SELFS, I SHALL BE KNOW AS PIETRO DECAPRE, THE ULTIMATE EMBARRESSER. I said that out loud didn't i." I noticed as my cheeks were about to turn red again. Filia however only giggled at the sigth of my shouting.
"You know it's moments like these that make me realise why im your friend." Filia said cracking a smile in her face, seeing her like this soothes my soul and reminds me that despite being a Medici, Filia was nothing like her grandfather, while he was ruthless and even cruel, she was, despite all her teasing, caring, kind and a great friend, she reminds me that names don't make people, but actions. Yes, i admit, i have feelings for her, and she probably knows about it, after all we know each other better than anyone else, even our own families.
"Well, this is my stop" Filia said as she stopped in front of the massive house, trully this was a house of a Medici "Thanks for accompanying me Pietro." She then walked into the house.
"Thanks for being my friend Filia, and i hope we'll be friends for ever" i said before she could fully close the door, she only looked back at me and smiled, then she closed the door.
Now i was alone, all there was left to do was go home i guess… well better not make dad worried.
"This day has been hell, living hell." an unknow creature said as he was using a dog as smoe sort of transportation.
"Well Scrubbles it's just you and me now, don't worry i will never leave you be" the craeture know as a parasite said "we are the closest of host and parasite"
As the dog continued it's way there was a noise, it was footsteps.
"You hear that Scrubbles, looks like someone's in the wrong place in the wrong time, heheheh." The parasite said omniously, filled with bad intentions "well let's see who our new guest is."
As the parasite followed the footsteps he found a boy and a girl, the girl looked like she was about to enter the house, but the boy, the boy went on his way home. That boy… the parasite couldn't stop noticing one peculiar atribute on this boy, he had white hair.
"W..White hair, how peculiar, w…wait, w…white hair, no, it couln't be, but who else could it then, he has to, he has to be one of them, it…it's my lucky day!" the parasite rejoiced as he detached himself from the dog, killing it in the process "Nothing personal Scrubbles, but i found bigger fish to fry."
The parasite rushed to the boy so he could turn him into he's new host, he was very lucky indeed to find boy with white hair.
"This is it, This will be the day everyone will remember the wrath of AKIRA!"
Just to clear something up, this story will take place sligthly before the actual events of Skullgirls, but it will also take place during, the events of Skullgirls.
