I was writing this while listening to "One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies and "Voices of Violence" by Billy Talent at the same time for some reason. Go try it.

Still don't own Guilty Gear but my OC is still mine.

note: This chapter is short for a reason! I just want a little bit of suspense!


Chapter 4: Black In Mind

"Is Kuro going to be okay?" Dizzy asked. "Yeah." She and Johnny were standing outside of her room where they had taken Kuro after his collapse. "There's nothing physically wrong with him so did anything happen up on the deck?" "Well, he did hit his head on the guardrail." " I doubt that would do it..." Johnny rubbed his chin and sighed. "I think it's about time to ask Kuro where he's from." "...Johnny?" Dizzy wasn't sure if what he had told her about his 'home' was supposed to be private but... "He told me that he thought his house is near a lake. Are there any around here?" "Might be...I'll go take a look at the map." Johnny left for the cabin and Dizzy went inside to see how Kuro was doing.

He was still asleep, on his side so that was good (if a human wasn't moving and wouldn't wake up then something was wrong.) Should she wake him up? No. Johnny had said there was nothing physically wrong but they didn't know about mentally. Dizzy sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at him. Because she had met different people, it hadn't struck her as strange about the back of Kuro's clothes. Along the back of his shirt were thick buckles that overlapped a zipper that went all the way up to his neck. This applied to the arms and legs with the difference that the buckles when all the way around. The shirt reminded Dizzy of a straight jacket (the length of the sleeves could pass for one). He moved a little, drawing his legs up. The covers that were under her caught and he woke up. "I'm sorry. Go back to sleep, Kuro." He rolled over on his stomach and wrote on the head board, "I don't want to. Too many nightmares." "Ah..." Dizzy was never one to make someone do something and Kuro was a person that most likely wouldn't do something he didn't want to. "If you're feeling better." His head hit the pillows face first but he kept writing. "You're going to ask me, right?" "Pardon?" "About what happened on the deck. Why I blacked out." "Umm..." She fiddled with her hands. One one side, she did want to ask but on the other, there could be a painful reason. Kuro, however, decided for her. "I'm not human. Completely anyways. I'm a--"

"I found the lake!" Augus called. "Okay, how far is it?" Johnny asked. "About an hour or so away. I'll get everything started." She left and he peered over the map. "Hun? That's weird...!" If Kuro's home was there, that meant he had been at the eye of the storm.

And the rift ends


So I'll see you later!
