Chapter 8: A friendship that Previals (A/N: I don't own Kuroshitsuji, Yana Toboso does. I am sorry it took so long to update, I have had writers block and I have two other stories now! Plus, I have been spending alot of time in the anime roleplay forum. Hope you guys like the chapter, R&R!)
Clarie's POV
I was sitting in a medow. It was a beautiful day, and I had Snake beside me. Everything seemed perfect, but for some reason, I was crying and I felt sad. I didn't understand why, I mean, everything was perfect. I looked over at Snake for some help, only to see another person sitting there. I then looked around and everything was dark and dreary, plus I was in a room. All around I could see thrashed stuff and broken vases. In a corner, I saw a small gleam of white, upon futher expection, I noticed it was Lylian. She was all beat up, and she was looking at me hatefully, she kept repating 'It is all your fault. You are evil, everyone hates you. No point in trying anymore.'
I was scared, I was sad, and I was confused. I didn't do this. I am not evil. Am I...Why? What is going on? The only thing I can remember is Sebastians face looking at me, eyes full of hate and furry. Why...why...I am not evil.
Normal POV
When both the girls woke up, they were on the roof. One, Lylian, was on the side with the bad guys as their hostage. The other, Clarie, was the same for the good guys. They were in a stand off, neither one wanting to let the other go. "William! Ron! Sebastian! What are y'all doing here?" Lylian said, she was shocked. As she said it, William gave her a mad look, "We came here because you snuck off with no protection right into the hands of the enemy. ARE YOU CRAZY?" He said. I knew he had every right to be mad, but this still wasn't his fight. I felt bad for dragging him into it. I felt bad about it for everyone.
"Please, like you can stop us. Hand us Clarie, and when we get done with them, we will give them back...in a body bag." Said a man. He was tall with white hair. He had really dark skin and red eyes. Master. This was him. Lyl got scared the moment she realized this. Beside him was two guys. One was the one the girls had bumped into at the park, the other was dressed just like him, but his features were different. "I see young Lylian has noticed my creations. You have meet one too I believe." he said, smirking, "You see, when I first started this, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of having to kidnap the real Yin and Yang reincarnations, just make some of my own. It failed and they wouldn't work for my plan. So, that is why we are here now."
Lylian's POV
Reincarnations? Is that why we were given the necklaces? I guess everything is making more sense. I was fed up with it though. Fed up with dragging the people closest to me into this, fed up with them controling Clarie, fed up with watching those who are innocent get hurt. This fight was only going to be between three people, Me, Clarie, and the Master. No-one else had to fight or get hurt. "Look, this fight doesn't envolve more than three people. Me and Clarie. Then there is also Master. So, everyone else back up and let us do our thing." I said before I even realized it. I usually didn't speak like that to people, I found it rude. I looked over and saw Sebastian nodding approvingly, Will and Ron we hesatent. They relised Clarie and backed up. So did the guys holding me and a few others. "You are right, little Miss Snow. It is between us. But, I have no intentions of getting hurt. How about the rest of us let you settle this with Clarie." He said, telling his guards to go back to there stations, and motioning for Will and the others to leave the roof. When they wouldn't barge, he had others came and get them, it almost started a fight when they left reluctenly.
Clarie's POV
I watched as everyone left the roof except me and Lylian. This was it, the fight that would decide the worlds future. The best part? It isn't even the last fight. Gee, this is so much fun, but atleast I get to finally kill the annoying pest.
No. She is not a pest and we will not kill her.
Damnit. That stupid demon keeps trying to take back control over her body. I will deal with this later. I stood face to face with Lylian, meeting her gaze. In her eyes that were like glass, I could see myself. I almost looked...sorry. I frowned and stepped back. "If we are going to fight, might as well make it a duel. We start on oppisite sides and attack at the same time. Then, we keep attacking until one of us dies. Sounds far right?" I said, looking boredly at her. No way she was going to last five minutes, so I wasn't really going to enjoy this fight long. "Sounds fine with me. Just no cheating, Miss No fashion sense." she smirked, then walked over a little before turning around and pulling out her sythe. "One the count of three we will begin. Then, we will see who the stronger one is." I said confently. "Mh, if you are as strong as your stank, then I might have a problem." she said. I was going to take time killing her, then show her mangaled body to her brother just for that. Stupid bitch.
Lylian's POV
It was time to end this. This stupid fight between us. I knew with alittle push, she would come back and we could fight Master together. I still want to know what is up with the Yin and Yang reincarnations and those to MG guys. I could see Clarie staring at me with a look that was deadly. The way she held herself and stood told me that she was ready to fight. To kill. In a mere flash of a second, you could almost see a change in the way she was standing and looking. She looked almost as if she was reaching out for me.
It was gone in a mere flash again. She frowned and stated that if we were going to do this, it would be a duel. After explaining everything, I told her as long as she didn't cheat it would be far. After some trash talk, we decided to start.
Normal POV
"1"
"2"
"3!"
With that, the fight had started. Lylian brought her sythe around and swung at Clarie, only to miss by a milimeter. The moment it happened, their necklaces started to glow. Neither of them payed it any mind, however, they were to busy going at it. Clarie managed to knock the sythe out of Lylian's hand, but quickly after was knocked down by a small yet powerful fist. Now it was a battle of the fist. Clarie had the advantage in strength and power, but Lylian won in the agilaty and speed. Whenever Lylian would dodge a fist or kick, it would look like a ballerina doing a beautiful dance. With Clarie, it looked like she was wonderwomen fighting with grace and skill. Both were equally matched, but one had to win. It all came down to how determained they were and how much stamina they had.
The fight hadn't been going on for long, but it felt like it started an enternity ago. Both of them, however, looked or acted tired. Clarie swung one fist at Lylian's face, while she secretly swung the other one towards her stomach. Lylian, easily dodging the first fist, fell victam to the other. Grabbing her stomach in pain, Lylian dropped down and kicked under Claries feet. While Clarie was trying to catch herself, Lylian took the advantage to elbow her in the ribs. Both jumped back from each other. Lylian was getting dangerously close to the edge with each strike. She looked over to see her sythe and thought of a way to get to it. While she was distracted with this, Clarie took the oppertunity to nail a devestating kick to her face. As a reflex, Lylian swung her leg around and knocked Clarie down along with herself. "Can't do much without that little sythe of yours, can you?" Clarie smarted off, "I guess that is why shinigamis are so weak and easy to kill." With that comment, Lylian jumped on top of Clarie. That had been how her parents had died. Fighting demons without there reapers. It was all for her and William. It pissed Lylian off to the point she forgot where she was and who she was fighting. She went all out, throwing punches, reciving them too. Of course, this had been exactly what Clarie had wanted. Now that she was so unaware, it would be the perfect time to knock her over the edge.
"No, I won't let youd do that." I stopped my body for a split second, hoping it was long enough for Lylian to come for another attack. It wasn't. I lost contorl again. "Lylian, please, move!"
Clarie was at a disadvantage with hers. Her good side kept trying to break free, with each attack, it got closer and closer to breaking free. She was aware of this and decided to end it before it got that far. "I won't lose to a snot nosed brat!" She said with a leap that knocked Lylian off the side of the roof. She was there dangeling for dear life, "Clarie! Help me please, I know you don't want to kill me!" Lylian cried out. She was praying that Clarie would come back and save her. This scene reminded her of a book she read, The Lion King. If she didn't awake Clarie soon, she would end the same way as Mufasa. "Clarie! Please Help Me!" I saw Clarie stop all of the sudden then, I saw her bawling her fist, and debating wether or not to save me. I started pleading more for her hoping it would be the last push to free her.
Lylian! I will save you soon! I just have to reach for your hand! No, just watch her fall. She is my friend. I need to help her. Why, she will just take all the glory and treat you bad. I deserve it. I won't let her fall! To bad.
I stepped on Lylian's hands, knowing that when I removed them, she would fall and die. I watched her as she pleaded tearfully for the real Clarie to help her. Truely pathetic. That is what she was. That is all she will ever be, even if I left her alive. I must admit, it did make me sad seeing so much power go to waste, oh well, she had to die anyway.
I looked up at Clarie. I saw the real one fighting inside of could see the spark of something more than evil in her eyes. They were filled with kindness and remorse. No longer did I see the hatred or the bad, but I saw the girl who I met at the park, the one who was always designing and drawing. She was almost free, and I had to push her some more. I could have easily got back up or went through a window, I wasn't scared of falling, but for her sake, I had to pretend. I knew that she wanted nothing more than for me to be safe right now. I begged and screamed for her to come, each time seeing the real eyes of my friend. When she stepped on my hands, I knew it was the perfect thing, if I played well enough, Clarie would be saved in a matter of seconds.
"Uh-oh, looks like I stepped on your hands. Here, let me move." Clarie said. But, she stayed still. Clarie was picking up her foot, but stopped. Then, did something unexpected, she bent down and put her knees on Lylian, reaching a hand out. Damnit, why am I helping this stupid wench? I won't let you kill Clarie. YOU. WILL. LOSE! I will not. This is no longer your body, this is mine. Don't do this, you will regret it. I pushed out the evil and came to my senses. (Okay, Clarie isn't evil anymore, Yeah, I know. It was to easy to do it, but I couldn't think of a good way to do it so yeah...)
Clarie's POV
I looked around. I was me. I could move my own body, there was nothing else making me do it. I started reaching for Lylian, I smiled at her. I was me again! Yes, I don't have to hurt everyone anymore! "Clarie! Your back! I knew you were still in there! Say, let's celebrate with me and you going out for ice cream later!" Lylian said from below me. I stepped back carefully, helping her up. "Of course! That would be great. Sorry about everything! I didn't mean any of the things I said!" I said, giving her a big hug. She hugged me back, telling me it was okay. "Plus, I said somethings about you too." Lylian stated. "Technacally, those were about my alter-ego." I said, reciving a nod. "Okay. So now that we are on the same side again, how do you suppose we defeat Master?" I said. Even if there was two of us, he was still very powerful. He was one of the highest ranked demons in the world."
"Well, I bet he doesn't know that you are back, so you could walk in and distract him. Until then, I can get the others out, after that, I can sneak behind him and put him at sythe point. Then, well, you can tell where it will go from there." She said. I stared at her with a confused look. "How did you come up with this that quickly?" she just shrugged. I missed that about her, the way that she can come up with really good ideas in like two seconds. "Okay, now that we have our course of action, when do we go?" I asked. We needed to make sure that we timed this just right or something might go wrong. All I had to do was distract him, but I needed to by quite alot of time. I also need to get into the character of my evil side.
"Now. We don't want to waste time. It would be best to go ahead and get this over with. But, before we go, I want you to know that I never stopped believing in you. Neither did the others, BTW, Snake is waiting at home for you!" She said, smiling. "Thanks for believing in me even when I didn't. I am so glad we are friends, and Snake won't have to wait much longer." I said, turning to the door. Well, here goes nothing, It is time for the last battle that will either destroy or save the world.
I hope I am ready for this.
Lylian's POV
I was screaming out Clarie's name over and over. Until suddenly, she was standing there almost scared. She stared at her hand moved then looked at me. Finally, she was back. I was finally face to face with the REAL Clarie. I was so excited and only one thing came to my mind. "Clarie! Your back! I knew you were still in there! Say, let's celebrate with me and you going out for ice cream later!" I said, reciving a smile in return. She carefully stepped of my hands and grabbed them. She helped get up, "Of course! That would be great. Sorry about everything! I didn't mean any of the things i said!" She said, frantically, while giving me a big bear hug, returning the the hug, I told her "It is okay, I know you didn't mean it." I also mentioned how I said somethings about her too. She just replied telling me those were about her alter ego. "Okay. So now that we are on the same side again, how do you suppose we defeat Master?" I said. Even if there was two of us, he was still very powerful. He was one of the highest ranked demons in the world."
"Well, I bet he doesn't know that you are back, so you could walk in and distract him. Until then, I can get the others out, after that, I can sneak behind him and put him at sythe point. Then, well, you can tell where it will go from there." I said. She seemed to stare at me looking confused. "How did you come up with this that quickly?" I shrugged in replied to the questions, I just do it. I don't really know how. "Okay, now that we have our course of action, when do we go?" she asked.
After explaining to her why we don't need to waste time, I told her about how everyone knew she would come back, and how Snake is waiting for her. He really does miss her alot. After exchanging a few words and walking towards the door, the full reality of what was about to happen hit me. This is the make or break battle for the world that we are about to do.
For everyone's sake, I hope we are strong enough.
Me: Done! Sorry it took so long, I have had so much homework and writers block it isn't funny.
Sebastian: Finally, I thought you died or something.
Me: Aww, did you worry about me?
Ciel: Not really. You forgot to metion how you were blowing it off for a forum for Kuroshitsuji roleplay.
Lylian: No she didn't, she said in the A/N.
Clarie: Yeah. I want to take this moment to thank all of you faithful readers! Especially Way2Dawn and BalladRose!
Everyone: Thank you guys! Keep R&R!
A/N: There will be about four more chapters to this story. If you want anymore after that, then I might do seperate one-shots or short stories. I might also do another thing similar to this story if enough people review. ONLY IF YOU REVIEW. I won't if you don't because I will feel no one is reading the story. I also won't update this story again until I have atleast two reviews that aren't from Way2Dawn and BalladRose. I feel they are the only ones reading this story! Thanks for reading! :)
