Sorry, I didn't know what to write! I'm doing this story and Lost Souls more than any other one of my stories! I just like this one! Now to chapter 4 of
Found the Final Match!
IO's point of view.
As the doors opened, I ran through the others, with pain blazing in my head, to the bathroom. I hurled my guts into the toilet until I was dry heaving.
I opened the door to Zeito dragging the new girl, my Other, to another room. I rushed back into the bathroom. I didn't want to be seen with vomit around my mouth. Once I cleaned myself up I went to Zeito's room.
Zeito was sitting on him bed without his coat on. I walked over to him and asked him, "Who was that girl you were dragging up the stairs?!"
Zeito rolled his head to look at me. He said, very much like a vampire, "You don't realize that she is IA? She is the new girl."
Zeito licked his lips and stared at me until I asked, "What room is she in? I need to know!"
Zeito laughed and said, "You idiot. She's in your room. You are so stupid that~"
I ran out of the room before Zeito finished. I ran and ran until I didn't have any breath left. I made it onto the fourth floor with no stop. I was on my knees when Miku pasted me and said, "Whoa there IO! You have to calm down and breath. You won't be able to sing tonight if you don't. Take a breath in for two seconds, hold it for two seconds, let it go for two seconds, and finally hold your breath there~"
"For two seconds. I get it! You can go now. I just need to stop breathing for a moment." I stood up and moved past her.
Miku looked back at me as I took a deep breath and started to run again. I flew up the last flight of stairs and paused for a breath again.
This time there were a group of vocaloids standing in my way. The group was Mikuo, Luki, Oliver, and Olivia. I said in a forced kind tone, "Will you please get away from my bedroom? I would like to get something from it. I have to change anyway."
Luki and Mikuo were obviously messed up and said, "We don't think so IO! You wouldn't get through until you answer this question."
I growled under my breath and said, "Fine! Just tell me the stupid question now! I don't feel like waiting!"
Oliver said, "Here is the riddle for you!
General Custer is surrounded by Indians and he's the only cowboy left.
He finds an old lamp in front of him and rubs it. Out pops a genie. The genie grants Custer one wish, with a catch. He says, "Whatever you wish for, each Indian will get two of the same thing."
Custer ponders a while and thinks:"If I get a bow and arrow they get two. If I get a rifle they get two!" He then rubs the bottle again and out pops the genie. "Well," the genie asks "have you made up your mind?"
What did Custer ask for to help him get away?"
I pondered the riddle for a while and started to mumble to myself, "No weapons, any get away idem would be useless. Um. I know! If it's a body part, that would work right? Yes, I have it! Mikuo, Luki, Oliver, Olivia, I have it."
They all looked at me, waiting for my answer. I didn't answer and Luki yelled in my face, "Well! What do you think it is and why?"
"It was easy to figure out. One glass eye is the answer. The cowboy would have one glass eye while the Indians had two glass eyes. The Indians wouldn't be able to see." I gave them a sick grin because I knew this riddle already.
They all frowned and walked pass me and letting me though. I ran the rest of the way to my room. I heard a yell about pants and I busted in.
She was staring at me with some mistrust. She probably shouldn't either. Even though I knew the answer, I asked her, "Are you IA?"
"Yes? I am IA. Who are you?" Ia asked looking back to the fifth story window. She stepped toward it and awyay from me.
I replied, "I am IO. I think you are my Other. I didn't mean to put you through that pain in the earlier years of your life. I would have taken more pain for you, but~"
"How do you know about that! Who are you exactly?! You can't be that little boy who took the punishment from Master for me, are you?" She asked actually stepping closer to me and away from the window, "Young Master must have told you this! It couldn't be you! He was thrown out on the streets. Anyone would have died."
I looked down at the black and pink bed covers and sighed. I walked over to them and sat down. "You don't remember me then? The old Master used to whip me. I was always the one to take the most pain. I felt like it was a need. I needed to protect something or someone and you were the one. You were, are, my saving grace."
I sat on the bed with my head on my closed hands. I stared IA for a long time until she said something about smelling dinner. She told me that she was going downstairs and that I should join her, but I just shook my head. I wanted to tell her everything that ever happened to her when she and I were together to prove I was that one boy, but I didn't. IA came over and patted my shoulder then she walked out. I stared at the back of her head untill she went through the door.
I got up and locked the door. I quickly changed into my outfit for the song tonight. I stood at the door for a long time before finally having the courage to walk out of my room to the others.
