I'm sorry! This is a really late update! My excuse is gonna be band. Both Kirito and I have band practices now, and they're long.
Anyways, enjoy~!
.:Scarlett's POV:.
"Stupid Ragnarok. Why couldn't he have lost the couch instead?" I muttered as we searched for Midnight.
Kirito glanced at me. "How do you lose a couch?" he asked in a somewhat confused tone.
"I'm sure Ragnarok would find some way to do it," I said, shrugging.
Looking around, I noticed how few people were out at this time of day. In front of us, there was a woman in a green apron sweeping the sidewalk in front of a small shop that sold pastries. Across the street, Maka was trying to pull Soul into a book store.
Running forward, I asked the sweeping woman what time it was. She opened her mouth, but before she could answer, a bright white light surrounded her. The woman disappeared with a scream.
Bewildered, I turned to Kirito, who was staring at something across the street. When I looked, Maka had disappeared and Soul was staring at a tiny frog in his hands.
I opened my mouth to ask why Soul was holding a frog when I felt something hit my leg. Glancing down, there was a tiny green tree frog jumping up and down on my shoe.
I picked it up. Grinning, I looked over at Kirito, who was still watching Soul. Slowly, I walked over to Kirito, stopping when I was standing right behind him. Kirito still hadn't noticed me, so I reached up and, just as he figured out I was standing behind him, dropped the frog on his head.
"What the... Scarlett!" he yelled, shaking his head in an attempt to get the frog off it. Laughing, I caught the frog, which had flown in my direction.
"Yeah?" I asked, feigning confusion. Giving up the pretense, I laughed, "It got your attention, didn't it?"
Kirito rolled his eyes. "I guess. What did you want?"
"Well... I'd like a Snicker bar, but that's not the point. Did you see how the woman I was talking to disappeared in a white flash of light? Afterwards, there was a tree frog hopping on my foot. And... Soul's also holding a frog. So..." I trailed off after I noticed that I was no longer holding the frog.
I looked around, wondering where it could've gone, before spotting it a little further down the sidewalk, hopping impatiently as though telling me to hurry up. As I walked toward it to pick it up again, the tiny frog started jumping down the sidewalk, away from me.
A bit weirded out, I glanced at Kirito, who shrugged. Sighing, I faced the frog again, only to find it hopping into an alleyway. A moment later, a loud yowl came from the same place. Curious, I walked over to the entrance and peered into the pitch-black alley. Unable to make anything out, I was about to step forward when a blue light started shining from the other end of the alley. With it came the outline of a human figure holding up a chainsaw, about to bring it down on a small shadow at their feet.
"Hey!" The yell came from beside me, and I jumped a bit, not realizing Kirito had been standing next to me. The chainsaw wielding maniac paused, and a moment later, Midnight was circling my feet, the shadow under the maniac gone.
"You're not Sebas-chan," the weirdo said in a disappointed tone. "Maybe he'll find the other trail I left for him~!"
Leaning down, I picked up Midnight. When I looked up again, someone had jumped in front of me- and it wasn't Kirito.
The new person extended their hand, which was holding, for some unknowable reason, a bunch of silverware.
A bunch of footsteps behind me alerted me to another person's presence. "Sebastian!" the latest arrival yelled. "I don't even want to know what Elizabeth is doing right now. Let's go before she completely destroys the manor, you cat-obsessed moron!"
The person directly in front of me, apparently named Sebastian, bowed and murmured something before grabbing the loud guy behind me and disappearing.
Now the only weirdo left was the chainsaw wielder, who... had also disappeared. I glanced at Kirito, who looked just as confused as I felt.
I turned around, wondering what happened to the frog, but further down the street was the woman sweeping like nothing had happened. Across from her were Soul and Maka. Soul looked confused and happy as Maka tugged him into a book store.
"Well... That was weird. At least we got Midnight back," I said, glancing over at Kirito.
"You think?" Above us, the sky was darkening, and Kirito pointed that out, saying something about it being too late to go for ice cream. I nodded, and we started the walk home.
Like always, reviews are helpful! Oh, and feel free to tell me how weird this chapter is. XD
