Entry (Chapter) 3: Bodies Of The Dead
Zora sighs looking at his soda can. He is sitting at a table in the middle of a huge festival. This isn't the first time he has been to these sort of things, but he usually doesn't care for them. He picks up the can taking a drink from the can.
"Really Aozora? I just got us a drink to share." The voice of Yuno Gasai says from behind him.
He turns to her finding two straws in a cup she apparently just bought. Zora had thought she left for the bathroom so he bought himself the can of soda. He was also told to just come to this festival by the chief and so was Yuno. He decided to give it a go seeing as he didn't have anything better to do since the school can't be used when it is in ruble.
"Just call me Zora. It makes things easier." He tells her. "So why did you only get one cup? Not enough money?"
Yuno smiles sweetly. "I was thinking we could share the drink." She says. 'I wonder if his spit tastes like Yuki's.'
Zora's phone buzzes, so he pulls it out to find a change in his future. [Gasai connects the straws trying to taste my spit.] Zora raises his eyebrow looking at Yuno. 'Hmm.' He looks at his soda getting an idea. "Sure. I mean you did waste your own money with me in mind."
Yuno smiles setting the cup on the table takes one last drink from the can. However, he doesn't swallow the soda. The two put their mouth on the straws. Zora lets the soda go through the straw as Yuno starts to suck on the straw. The soda reaches into her mouth surprising her. She swallows it with wide eyes. Her eyes lock on to Zora who is trying to look innocent. He is doing a great job, but she isn't stupid.
"What's wrong Gasai? You don't like the drink?" He asks with a straight face. "I think it tastes great."
She smiles back at him. 'It is on now Aozora. You won't pull a fast one like that again.' She thinks. "The flavor just surprised me."
"I see." He says stretching his back eliciting cracks. "Well what should we do? Haven't been to a festival in some time."
"How about the haunted house gimmick over there?" Yuno suggests. "Unless you are scared."
Zora deadpans. "After all I just seen? It's unlikely that I can be scared of anything you can throw at me. Though I won't stop you from trying." He says. He stands up picking up the cup. He takes the straw out finding the two connected. He looks Yuno in the eyes.
"That's strange. The cart I got it from must have a weird sense of humor." Yuno says averting her eyes.
"Don't try to pull something like that on a guy with a future diary. As you have seen, I don't avoid things if I can play it to my own desires." He explains.
"Why do you seem so laid-back ? You usually act so serious." Yuno states hoping to change the subject.
"Because I am usually serious in serious situations and school. Outside of those two things I am a bit more fun to be around. Not much, but still." He replies taking a sip from the cup in his hand. He sets it back on the table. "I don't care for it."
"Well let's head to the haunted house!" She exclaims grabbing onto his arm and pulling him. He shrugs and follows willingly.
The two arrive at the attraction finding it fairly scary looking. "I wonder if I will find one of those dudes from America's Texas Chainsaw Massacre here." Zora wonders out loud. He looks at Yuno shiver at the name for a brief second. "Or maybe we will find something worse."
"Shut up!" Yuno tells him.
"Sure, but we're going swimming next." He says imagining himself just floating and enjoying the water.
"Let's just get through this before you wet yourself." Yuno says steeling herself.
"You'll wet yourself before I do." He retorts.
The two go in and immediately regret it. Five seconds in and a mom is kneeling in front of a grave weeping. Her back is towards the two. They walk to the lady, but the lady turns with tears streaking down her face along with blood. A few bloody babies on the grave in the middle of some strange symbol.
"I will bring my baby back! I will have my baby…by sacrificing your lives!" The lady states pulling out a butcher knife grinning psychotically.
Yuno starts to run out the entrance while Zora just stares at the lady making her uncomfortable. "That was pretty good. Couldn't have done better myself." He then puts a finger to his chin. "Actually I probably could."
"Want to try?" The lady asks with a sly smile.
"I would, but she would would try to kill me." He replies.
"For some reason I feel you wouldn't care about something like that." The lady says with a sweat drop.
"You're right. I just want to get to the water part." Zora admits walking through the entrance meeting with Yuno. "Hello wimp." He greets keeping a straight face.
Yuno looks away crossing her arms. "She just surprised me."
"Let's get to the pool now." He urges dragging Yuno.
Some minutes later Zora is relaxing in the water with his eyes closed. 'So peaceful. Nothing can make this better.'
"Zora!" Yuno calls out running to Zora. He opens his eyes then his eyes widen. All he could do is look up and down constantly in rhythm to her assets.
'Holy crap.'
She gets in and looks at him funny. "Why is your nose bleeding?" She asks knowing exactly why.
He wipes his nose getting rid of the small amount of blood. "My nose must have gotten too dry." He tells her knowing that wasn't the best excuse he has ever given. He then averts his gaze to the side. "Looks like someone thought this was a skinny-dipping beach."
"What are you talking about?" She looks at herself finding her bra missing. She then wraps her arms around Zora pressing her chest against him. Zora's face is completely red and looking everywhere except towards Yuno.
"Hurry up and find it!" She exclaims looking around embarrassed.
"Excuse me miss, is this yours?" A life guard asks Yuno holding out Yuno's bra.
"Yes, thank you so much!" Yuno thanks reaching for it with one hand while her other arm covers what her bra usually covers.
Zora backs away to the edge of the pool and pretends not to know her. "Such a nice day." He murmurs pretending to only be there for the nice weather.
"What are you doing over there Aozora?" Yuno asks.
He looks to her curiously. "Excuse me miss, do I know you?" He asks keeping up a pretty convincing mask of the stranger.
'I can't believe naive Yuki is replaced by Aozora whom is too the perfect content in this contest for god.' Yuno thinks. "Come on! Don't be so mean." She says with a pout. Immediately Zora feels the glare of every guy in and out of the pool.
Zora just sighs. "You know that he didn't say we need to hang with each other. He just said to be in the festival at the same time." He says leaning against the the edge of the pool.
"He didn't say we couldn't though." She replies with a smile.
"Hey, you're the reason our school was blown to pieces!" A teen growls from right behind Zora. Zora simply turns to the teen.
"What's your point?" Zora questions.
"There were people who died! That's my point!" The teen angrily replies.
Zora gets out of the pool to stand in front of the teen. "People die every day. Sorry if I couldn't live up to your expectations as someone who saved your life along with thousands of others." Zora tells the teen. The teen bares his teeth.
"You're nothing more than some delinquent!" The teen exclaims.
"I don't really care." Zora replies. "I'm heading out Gasai." He turns to the teen. "If you follow me you'll wish you were in the explosion."
Zora leaves the festival stopping at the front gate. The image of the building pops into his head. He shoves it into the back of his mind. No use in thinking about it. His phone buzzes. He pulls it out.
[I head home, but it starts to rain. Gasai offers me to wait it out at her own home.]
'I forgot about that. It is due to rain, but not until tonight. What could I be doing that'd result in me being so late?' Zora wonders beginning his journey home.
"Exceuse me sir." A man with an odd robe says. Religious thing if he isn't mistaken.
"What is it?" Zora asks looking bored.
"The priestess, Tsubaki Kasugano, wishes to see you as soon as possible." The man explains. Zora's phone buzzes again. He looks at it.
[I meet with Tsubaki and have a nice time despite my distaste for religion.] 'Seems like a nice place.' [But I quickly see through her mask of politeness. I pretend not to notice leaving quickly after we agree to meet again.] I deadpan. 'That is nice to know, but I wonder what she hides under that so called mask.' He wonders. "I'll head over now I guess."
"Follow me please." The man instructs. Zora nods following after the man.
Yuno watches him from behind them knowing what's going on. Or she wish she could. 'This shouldn't be happening. He shouldn't be meeting her until a couple of days later than this.' Yuno thinks. "I'll just follow him." She mutters sneaking behind the two.
Later
"So you're Tsubaki." Zora says looking at the priestess in a giant cage. She nods.
"Yes I am. You must be Aozora Amono. I'd welcome you properly, but this cage prevents that." She says casually.
"I'm going to assume that you are a diary user as well. Am I correct?" He asks not bothering with any further introductions.
A look of irritation flashes by for a second in her eyes. "How perceptive if you. How did you know?"
His phone vibrates. He put it on vibrate just in case he needs to hide and can't make any noise. He takes it out. [As I leave Tsubaki has everyone killing each other using her giant scroll diary trying to trick me into helping her for her to stay me in the back.] He narrows his eyes.
"What is it wrong Amono?" She asks curiously.
"Sorry, but I don't much like you followers." He bluffs. He actually thinks a few are quite entertaining.
"Oh? What would you expect me to do Amono?" She questions forcing a curious glance.
"Oh I don't know, your diary seems to be able to control them, so I think that should do." He replies surprising and angering her at the same time. "Maybe have them kill each other like you planned from the start?" He suggests.
"How do you know any of this?" She demands forgoing her mask of politeness.
"Simple. I have a diary too at home and read it before leaving home this morning." He lies again.
"Well since you so obviously know all this, why come here?" She asks giving off an evil vibe. "Are you just that stupid?"
Zora shrugs. "I might be. I could have avoided letting you know then get away easily, but I didn't feel like it today." He says.
"Restrain him." She orders a few men that are standing a few feet away.
Zora quickly jumps at the cage avoiding their reaching hands. He starts to climb up the cage to the top. He looks down finally to see on of them getting ready to thrown an axe. His eyes widen.
"Incapacitate him. I want him to suffer before he dies." The priestess tells them.
"Shut up lady." He says. 'I can set this place on fire killing her, but that'd be killing a great deal of others as well.' The man throws the axe only to miss. Zora had already started his decent to the floor. 'Killing these people won't weigh on my mind one bit.'
He lands in a crouched position automatically springing with a swift right hook right into his stomach. The man spits up some saliva, but Zora just back flips backwards kicking the guy in the chin knocking him on to his back in the process. Zora spots the other two already coming at him.
He catches the axe that just finally decided to fall down. Zora jumps back avoiding a knife one of them pulled up then shoots forward slamming the butt of the handle into his temple knocking him out with a bit of blood coming from the wound.
Zora stares down the last one that seems to be paralyzed. "Your followers are as strong as strong as kids at my old school. Painfully weak and boring." He tells her tossing the axe to the side.
"Don't stand there like an idiot, get him!" She growls as she seems to sethe in a rage.
"You heard her." Zora says giving a pointed stare. "Come and get me." He gestures this with his hand. The guy pulls out a metal back from inside his robe. "How did you even hide that? Why were you even hiding that?"
The guy just swings the bat at Zora only for him to dodge. The man continuously swings and misses for a good minute and a half before Zora sighs. He ducks under the bat one last time then jumps forward planting his knee into his gut making the man drop the bat. Zora follows up by kicking his legs out from under him. The man lads on his head making a cracking noise. Cracked the back of his skull open on something.
"Don't bother me again. Unless you'd like die." He tells her walking out.
"Get him!" She yells. He stops as many followers walk in the front door and back entrance.
'Oh crap.' He thinks. 'Looks like I should take up the title of mass murderer.'
End
And that's done. Sorry that took a while, had things to do. I don't have much to say this time. So this is just straight forward.
Thank you for reading, favoriting, following, reviewing and have a great day/night/morning!
