chapter 2... Cold Faces, Cute faces, And New Faces?
WOW! I was not expecting so many messages for the continuation of this story! And to the guest who commented, my sister said the same thing. And to those who have been sending me messages, I've been off for about two weeks. I don't want to go into too much detail but one of my close relatives got into a really bad car accident. On the good note, she's fine now and I can get back to what I love to do. Oh, and before I forget, I will be posting the next chapter of my other fanfic "In today's world" a couple of hours right after this is uploaded. So you can look forward to that! I'll digress from that for now, I'll go into more detail at the end.
After the boy fell to the ground Scarlet skipped past me and picked up some of his teeth.
"Look Itami! I got more trophies!" She stated happily as she pulled out a necklace made of different sized teeth. "And to think she's my only friend! How did I survive this long?" I laughed to myself. My laughing caused me to let my guard down and all the sudden there was a jolt of shock and pleasure that shot through my lower back. I immediately twirled and elbowed a blonde girl in the face, causing her to stumble back. Not wasting any time I grabbed the knife stuck in my back and threw it into her neck. It's weird how use to death a person can get, even as she reached out to me with pleading hands, the look in her eyes was that of pure hatred. Me? I just stared as she fell to the ground wriggling in pain. You might be wandering, Itami aren't you in pain right now? The answer to that is a big. Fat. Nope! In fact it's the opposite, see I was born with this rare condition where my brain perceives pain as pleasure. Now, where was I?... That's right! Back on the arena, me and Scarlet got back to back as they surrounded us. I was armed with a standard kitchen knife and Scarlet had a small short-sword "You ready Scarlet!?" I smirked. I could feel her giggling "I'm always ready!" She shouted as at least a dozen kids of different sizes charged at us. Up first was a small scrawny kid armed with a pitchfork, he charged at my left. I was easily able to dodge it by side stepping, which sent him forward stabbing some poor girl in the abdomen. I quickly came up behind him and stabbed him in the back piercing his heart. This time a taller brunette girl with a whip and her friend armed with a shield, came from two different directions, one from the right and the other from the left. The brunette lashed her whip towards Scarlet, I quickly ran in front of her and caught the whip in time. Unfortunately I was hit by the shield girl and was dazed for a second. Scarlet used me as a launch pad and leaped over the shield girl and brought her sword down on top of her head slicing her in half. Still holding onto the whip, I pulled with full strength forcing the brunette towards me and she ran straight into my knife. Falling to her knees I finished her off with a slit to the throat. They weren't done yet! They charged again but this time the attack never came instead a wall of ice appeared engulfing all the other competitors.
"YOU TWO!" A loud feminine voice boomed at us "YOUR OPPONENT WILL NOW BE ME!" From the west side of the arena a beautiful girl approached, she had long blue hair, wore a military uniform, and had a black symbol tattooed on her chest. She stopped a couple of meters away and drew a saber from it's hilt pointing it at us "If you can survive for thirty seconds I will let you live... How ever you must first take one of these..." A masked woman appeared out of thin air with a cart and different objects spread across it. "Please choose your weapons." The masked woman stated. "Weapons? Is this some kind of test!? There are no weapons here..." My train of thought was interrupted by a pulling sensation, well it was more like something was drawing me to it... The feeling of like how you lost an item, but you know where it is, you don't know how you know it's there you just do. It was a small metallic necklace, it had the shape of a lions head and the neck curved into the shape of a tooth. Without hesitation I grabbed the necklace and put it on, it then started to glow a blue color and a coat wrapped it's self around me. The coat was a pitch black color and was covered with at least ten or more pockets, the coat reached all the way to my ankles, and the inside was full of sharp metallic weapons.
"WHOAAAA!" Scarlet gasped.
"Interesting..." The blue haired woman smirked.
"Excellent choice." The masked woman stated with no emotions.
"Take my body as yours, give me the strength of hundred men to strike down even the fiercest of gods! Reveal your blades!..." Two blades protruded from the sleeves of the coat "KAKURETA!" I chanted. I don't know what really came over me it just felt like the thing to say at the time, I couldn't believe it! I'd heard of how powerful relics are but I had never actually held one much less activate it. I could feel it's power flowing through me and it was getting me pumped!
"Okay..." I smirked "You want to fight? Let's fight!"
Thanks again guys for reading, I'll be uploading the next chapter of my other fanfic about Akame Ga Kill "In todays world" I just want to warn you instead of posting the second part of chapter four I'm going to combine the two parts to make a whole chapter. So now it'll be longer.
