Chapter 3: Worst Candy Ever! X(
Disclaimer: I don't own Deadman Wonderland! If I did I would be the happiest person in the whole world... well less than happy if I owned BLEACH... but if I owned both I'd be so happy, much more happy than just one ... oh well! READ ON PEOPLE!
Today, I found all the stuff I ordered from the catalog outside of my door. Smiling as I looked through them, I saw a figure standing in my doorway looking at the boxes questionably. It was that kid, I think they called him the Woodpecker.
" Hey Woodpecker, what's up? " I asked picking up one of the boxes and carrying it into my room.
" Sorry about yesterday, when I broke your bracelet. " he said picking up a box himself and setting it on my bed.
Looking over at the broken bracelet on the dresser, I sighed. I know there's some way I can get it fixed but I don't know how to, but I can't hold a grudge against this kid over it.
" It's okay, " I said turning around facing him with a slight smile plastered on my face, " it can be fixed, so don't worry about it. "
The kid smiled back at me and helped me carry in the rest of the boxes. When we were done, we talked some as I unpacked stuff like sheets and throw pillows. Truthfully, most of the stuff I got was black and red and purple, but only because I never got to decorate my room like this. My parents wouldn't allow it at all, me putting red streaks in my hair was enough to give my mom a heartattack.
" Why would your mom freak over that? " asked Ganta who sat on the floor while I sat on my bed clutching a broken heart pillow.
" She's a decorator, enough said. " I laughed.
" Oh. " he chuckled.
Just then, a girl with pail white skin/hair and red hair ran into my room.
" Ganta I found you! " she giggled.
" Ganta? " I said lifting a brow at him.
" Who's this girl? She looks weird? " asked the albino girl, getting in my face.
" Shiro don't do that! "
" Why? " she asked sounding like a little kid.
" It's ok Woodpecker. Hi I'm Ume. " I said sitting up and smiling at the girl.
" It's Ganta Igarashi. " said Woodpecker... I mean Ganta.
" Cool, and I'm Ume Takashito. " I said as the girl now known as Shiro, was amazed at my stuff.
We sat around until Ganta said he had to go somewhere, of course Shiro followed him, and I was left in my room by myself.
" How could she even wear that, it shows way too much? Oh well, it's quite a statement. " I laughed to myself as I attempted to put the sheet that goes around the mattress on.
Key word, attempt, I can never get this thing on by myself. I haven't really had time to think have I, well maybe but not where there was complete silence.
" I still think talking to myself is perfectly fine. " I laughed, struggling to put the third corner on the mattress.
Just as I get it on, the bottom two snap up, I frowned at them and tried about three more times. Each time getting the same result, so I just gave up and laid on the bare mattress.
" Really that stopped you? " chuckled Senji, who stood in my doorway.
" Maybe. " I said glaring at him in a way that was more joking then serious.
" Get up. " he said taking the sheet in his hands and putting it perfectly onto the bed.
Looking at him like it was a miracle I said, " How'd you do that? "
" It helps if your bigger than the mattress. "
Short joke... not funny! Punching him, he tripped over ones of the boxes I cleverly labeled "clothes" instead of "underwear" in case some perv came in here and tried to go through it, all of the contents fell onto the floor and on Senji's his face grow red, legs kick them off in panic, and his eyes move to the corner of the room I burst out laughing at Senji's reaction.
" Senji that's just pathetic. " I laughed as he tried to straighten his face.
Recieving a glare from Senji I started picking them up while he sat on my bed and looked away from me trying to hide his face. After the last pair, I set the box in one of the far away corners of the room.
" Thank you. " said Senji, his face still a slight rosy pink.
" Whatever. " I sighed sitting on the floor beside of his feet.
" What are you doing? "
I said nothing as I untied his shoes, retied them, and untied them again. Until, he decided to snatch his feet away from me and double-knot them.
" Sorry weird habit of mine. " I laughed until a loud beeping sound started coming from the collar around my neck.
Senji jumped up in alarm, them started looking around my room for something. Suddenly my heart started beating furiously, while the rest of my body hurt like it was on fire. I fell to the floor and curled up into a ball. What's happening? I asked myself, in my head 'cause me throat hurt too much to say a single word.
Then, I felt a hand on my shoulder looking up I saw Senji holding something in front of my mouth. It looked like a piece of candy, how in the hell is that supposed to help me now?!
" Ume, just eat it. " he said concern pasted onto his face.
So, I opened my mouth and he tossed it in. It tasted utterly disgusting, but the pain stopped as well as the beeping. Sitting up and without thinking I hugged Senji.
" How'd you know what to do? " I asked after pulling away and sitting on my bed.
" Every three days we have to eat that candy or we die. Didn't you know? " asked Senji.
" No I didn't. Thanks Senji, but this candy sucks ass. " I laughed.
" I know. " he said chuckling along with me.
" Well I might as well finish my bed. " I said standing up and getting the solid black comforter and matching blanket out.
" So you almost die, and that's the first thing on your mind? " Senji asked.
" Yep. "
" Okay. " he said sitting on the floor as he watched me finish.
Laying on my now finished bed, I looked down at him and smiled. Senji isn't all muscle, even though he tries to act like it. He's actually kind when he wants to be and also helpful in a way. But mostly he's an idiot who tries to act tough but fails whenever I say something that catches him off-guard.
Wait aren't I supposed to be acting tough too, well I do hate this place, but not as much since I've made a few friends. Smiling at Senji as he got up, I noticed his face looking more relaxed. I guess he was happy too.
" So how ya feeling? " he said looking me over.
" Are you thinking about doing something? " I asked, choosing to ignore his question.
" What?! " he blushed.
" Just kidding, " I laughed, " Yea I'm feeling better I guess. But that stuff was the worst candy in the history of forever. "
" Don't do that. " he said walking towards the table where I set my broken bracelet.
Picking the bracelet and charm up, he stared at them then walked over and sat down on the edge of my bed next to me. I sat up and watched him try and figure out how to fix it.
" Ume can you use your raptor ripper on one of your hands? " he asked.
" Raptor ripper? "
" Those claws of yours. "
" Oh... ," I said, " But I don't know how to use them or even make them appear. "
Grabbing my hand, Senji cut the tip of each of my fingers with a ring on his finger. Suddenly, the claws appeared sharp and shiny. Taking one of my fingers, he expanded the little ring at the top of the locket then took my thumb as well and closed it around one of the larger rings of the bracelet.
" Here. " he said placing the bracelet on my wrist.
" Thanks, it really means alot to me. " I said blushing as I looked at the now repaired bracelet.
Senji grinned at me and placed his hand on my head. This made me blush even deeper, so I lowered my face to try and hide it.
" You aren't so tough either. " Senji said getting up and walking over to my door.
" I'll see you later. "
" Okay, see ya Ume. " he said walking out the door.
Instead of just lying around, I decided to unpack all of the boxes and organize most of my new stuff. Some of it, I kept in the boxes like clothes and stuff I had no place to put it except in the boxes and under my bed.
Surprisingly, it was already nighttime when I was finished, so I got my dinner and then went to bed.
The last thing on my mind before I went to sleep was, " I wonder if I can get my hand on another charm. " That night I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
End of Chapter 3
Umm let's see in the last chapter Oakley pointed out that Crow didn't blush or freak out. I was gonna put that, but I forgot to thanks for pointing it out, that's why I fixed it here. I'm sorry for not updating but I've been really busy, I'll update by Friday if I can!
