Chapter 1 - Day is to Night
Opposites are opposites for sure, but they still have a few things in common.
Like black and white. They're both colors, and both can represent emptiness and sadness.
The same goes with me and him. We both are of the same person, with mismatching personalities, but we both are teens who are going through troubles in life and want something better and for us to experience hope.
Well, those are the only things I can say right now that we both have.
"Hey Rukia, where is this 'Naciente Mystil' shop you told me about in that letter you sent me?" I asked when classes ended.
"Oh right. I forgot to give you the address." I waited as she ripped out a notebook page and wrote the address before folding it and giving it to me.
"Thanks. I'll go there now so till tomorrow." I bid goodbye and she waved as I ran out the school gate.
Unfortunately for me, the shop was pretty far so I reluctantly took the bus when I reached halfway so that my legs could take a rest. I glared at the sign when I finally reached it, for they just cost me quite some money that I earned just this week.
But nonetheless I kept my cool and went inside and the color of bronze, silver and gold from the items welcomed my eyes. But I saw nobody so I was concerned and called out if anyone was there, and to my shock, a man wearing a fox mask emerged from behind the counter.
I frowned a little when I saw him remove his mask for his face was also like that of a sly fox but I didn't vocalize my opinion.
"Hello. What can I get for you, Mr. Customer?"
"Uh..." I trailed off due to how creepy he talked. "I'm Ichigo Kurosaki, a friend of Rukia Kuchiki. She told me that you two are friends?"
"Oh, so you're who she told me about yesterday? Well I have what she's asking you to buy right here." He bent down and when he stood back up his hands carried a small box which was storing the bracelet.
"How much?" I placed the money on the counter after he told me the price (which is already with the discount), and I got curious when I saw another door with the sign that said 'Rare Things'.
It caught my interest, and the silverette followed my look.
"Oh, you want to see what's in there? Well go ahead if you want to. It won't do any harm since you seem like a nice kid."
And so I did and went in, amazed by the really rare stuff in there that looks so real and so ancient. But soon I would regret going in this room of treasures.
"Well, I guess I battered you enough." I cracked my fists as they groaned in pain, and the gang that told me to do this laughed as they handed out to me a lot of money that could get me through another week.
"Thanks. I'll be on my way." I waved once and walked back to the bar where I asked for whiskey shots. The bartender complied and I got three bottles of the said drink and a tiny glass.
I drank as much as I can and after the second bottle I nearly passed out from the strong alcohol but I persisted and finished it all in the end.
Despite having the stuff all the bad boys wanted, I still didn't feel satisfied; that thought crossed my mind for a while now.
I continued to think of it as I went out for a walk and to breathe in the night breeze.
The moon was brighter than usual, I noticed.
As the moon was brighter this evening which is a change for the usual nights, this night will be like no other night and it will come soon enough. But before it did happen, I wasn't aware of what would come next.
