Hello again, sorry for the wait but I just get inspiration recently, but well, hope you like it =)
Chapter 2: The True Desire
The bright sun rays of the early morning were the ones that awoke me. The warm feeling in my face told me that it was time to began a new morning, I wasn´t expecting nothing out of ordinary to happen that morning, why I should after all. My right hand made its way to the top of my lazy head that was resting in the pillow over my futon, in a try to get some rebel red colored strands out of my face, something not so rare since sometimes I move sleep. Then, a sudden and distinctive sound caught my attention; it was noise that shouldn´t be in this room at least. Looking to my right wrist I perfectly saw even in the little darkened room how a chain of some kind was elaborately tied to bottom of my forearm to my palm. It was the source of the clashing noise that had been produced when I moved it a little.
It was seem that it really confused me because I had stare at it for a good minute until I realize that no explanation come to my mind. As an instinct or maybe common sense I follow the road the chain was gracefully doing around the room, until it stop in one spot. I immediately froze in surprise. There, just to right of my resting place was a single figure; pink hair contrast the face with that green as gems eyes. The only thing that doesn't fix was that strange suit covering the fine silhouette, whit with some black designs like lines, it actually look like some kind of armor… one a little inefficientconsidering that it was… uhmm… exposed, in some points.
It was a girl.
Our eyes connect for some seconds until my mind connect and make me ask the obvious.
"Who are you?" Rude, maybe, but in that moment I wasn´t really fully at my hundred percent considering that I had just recently awoke and I had found myself in such an odd situation.
The answer didn´t remain hided not even a second until she answered me, giving a small introduction and ending with a respectful bow.
"Hi, I´m a Pet-Class Angeloid, Type Alpha, designation Ikaros" Said her with a voice that sound actually a little… emotionless. Looking better to her face I can saw how it gave me the same feeling. It was strange, it look like she had never felt something in her hold life, like her factions had remained the same for year, taking away from her the ability to show any expression. Even when I didn´t know the girl, it made me sad seeing her like that, after all, it´s a truly shame to not be able to feel anything.
"I´m here to pleasure you in any way, Master"
I´m not so sure, maybe it had been for all the time that I had spend with my perverted friend, because in that moment, just for some few seconds, my cheeks achieved a colorful flush, just as a small and dark part that was pent deep, to deep, in me had try to made it way out. As always I had been able to almost immediately suppress such a thoughts, remembering what is the right to do. She start approach crawling in her four, like some kind of instinctive reflex I move back a little. It was strange, I don´t usually get nervous, less with girls, even when I didn´t talk a lot with other ones aside from Sohara I do very well with them… curious.
Finally realizing her words my mind began to process in its most logic way the information. They were still some unanswered questions, and what she had said only confused me even more. So first with the begin, obviously.
"W-wait, what do you mean by master and all that?!"
She tild her head like she was curious, she actually look cute when she do that… Ehm!, it had seem like I had ask something obvious or even stupid. When she staid staring at me from some seconds I began to get nervous, not knowing if maybe I had truly ask something bad, but, why should it be? I think that in my situation it´s perfectly normal to had a lot of question even been me. I was finally able to feel relief when she answered my question, still in her almost permanent calm mood.
"We, the angeloids are created to obey and pleasure or masters, our imprinting had taken place after you had save me, Master"
Then, like a bucket of cold water, it hit me, now I remember, she was the girl from the other night, the…
My eyes immediately go to her back and I saw them, two big, slightly pink and feathered wings coming out of her in a graceful way like it was the most perfectly normal for the world, telling the true they didn´t make her ugly or some kind of freak, they actually fix her making her look like the most beauti-… angel. Tomoki, I don´t know what you had done but I gonna get to the bottom of all this.
Returning to reality after my little illumination a small, and quick to, fight made my brain its battlefield. That small and dark portion of… me *shiver*, fought against my logic, respectful and good side. The battle was short, and even when for that small period of time the bad side had gave a thought fight it had been for nothing in the end… although, it had said some… things that I don´t really like.
"What?!, oh no, no, you don´t need to do such a thing, it was nothing really, you don´t need to paid me in any way, seriously! It´s fine, you don´t need to become some kind of my servant!"
"But the impression is already do it Master, I can reversed it"
She simple state like it was the most normal.
"Well then…mmm… oh! I got it, if I´m your Master now I immediately free you from me, come on your free" I said trying to put my best smile telling her that I didn´t want to enslave her in any way.
"Free?" She then shook her head and return her sight to me, she then repeat her last statement telling that she must stay by my said and all that stuff. Even when I try to convince her that it would be the best for her and she´s free to go whenever she want, it seems that she didn´t understand it or she truly want to staid. It was confused. I never, in ALL my life thought about been in such a predicament, I mean, she is only a girl that I had just meet and now she was telling me that I had become her master! I had try to do what I thought should be the right, but she didn´t want to go even when I told her that I not gonna be mad. What to do?
My conflictive thoughts were interrupted from a estrange sound that had echo around all the room. In immediately my developed skills put me over my legs and I adopt a fighting stance as I look for the source of the weird sound. It repeated itself another time and after some contemplating seconds I felt stupid when I realize it was just my belly begging for some food. I give her a nervous smile and she only respond with a curious tilt of her head.
"It´s something wrong, Master?" Ask her in an authentic concern.
"Y-yeah, don´t worry I´m just a little hungry, jeje"
It seemed that she was analyzing my and after some fractions of second she come with a solution. Suddenly, my room got assaulted with a thunderous wind, a truly bright and blue light almost blind me from some seconds. Just in the last seconds I had been able to see how an ethereal whirlpool of energy began to fade just in the roof over my head. After the phenomenon was over I blind multiple times in surprise when, just in front of me, a feast fit for a king appeared in the floor of the room, surrounding my futon, Ikaros and me.
"I think this should be enough, Master"
My mind staid in blank for some seconds until I return to the reality and even them it took some seconds for my throat to be able to make any sound.
"W-what just happened? From where come all this?"
"I had brought it for you, Master"
"What? You stole it?!"
She only shook her head calmly and then continue with her explanation, after that I had feel bad for doubt her.
"I had use this divise to summoning it from the Synapse, in where it had been pre-produced in other to be able to use whenever my master need it"
"Really, oh, well sorry then"
"Please feel free to eat whatever you want, Master"
After looking better to the amount of food in front of me I saw that it actually look very tasty and delicious, I would never allow me such a cost, not even with all the money that I HAD in the past, because now had begun to peter out… that would be a problem sooner or later, it would be just a stupid idea to waste the money in that way when I was more than happy with the food that I made for myself or, with some luck, the one Sohara´s mom do. But now that I had it, why not to fill myself a little.
I was about to take the first bit to a good plate of gravy when I stop and saw how she staid firmly sited, just contemplating me and nothing more.
"Aren´t you gonna eat? I think you should be hungry to" It was, true, the far I can remember or now, she hadn´t eat anything to.
"This food is for you Master and-"
"Come on, I can let you just without eat, and also I not gonna eat it all, please join me"
Her head tilt again until she accepts my offer, it seems that it was odd for her to eat with another person… or maybe… I don´t know, it´s just like she had never had an opportunity like this.
We ate in silent from some minutes, just savoring the tasty food. Sometimes I gave some glances in her direction and I contemplate her better. She ate with such a delicacy and elegance that trap for hours, her pink hair was actually longer and was tightly secured with dark pink ribbons behind her back. Pronouncing out of the sides of her head were two small bells-like objects, not really knowing if what they were… maybe they are her ears?, nah, that could be, right? Well she had said she had been created, but still she doesn´t look like a machine, also I can only saw her as an innocent and normal girl… well despite the wings of course.
When I was about to get to the dessert, a good bowl of flan, I notice that she was staring at me to. Curiously, I ask her what the matter was but she only shook her head at low it like she was shame for doing something bad. I felt a strange jab in my chest, seeing her like that hurt me for some reason, not only because I hate to see other people suffering, but also made me think to what she was used if she get sad for only a smallness think like this, Did she had another master before, and how he trade her, was he or she the reason why she was like this? All that made me feel even worst for the poor girl.
I´m not so sure why I do that exactly but I had done it with pure intentions. She close he eyes with more intensity when she felt my palm over her hair, I think that she was expecting a punishment of some kind, but she relax when she realize that I was just only patting her. I gave her my most sincere smile and told her that it was ok.
"Really, whatever you want to ask do it, I´m not gonna be angry, I promise"
After I realize her she then look to the ground before looking at me again and then timidly asking, just like she wasn´t full sure about what I had said, her question.
"Master… it´s… that… I had never saw something like them…"
Now I was the one titling his head in confusion not really nowing what she was talking about. The rest of her question was something that I had never expected.
"… Your eyes, master. I had never saw something like them, why they are like that?"
I start to sweat cold, even when she had just done and innocent and also understandable question I couldn´t help but felt nervous immediately. All this years I had had so much careful when it was about hiding my eyes, always coming with ingenious excuses even with the teachers and now, in less than an hour I had been exposed. It wasn´t like I was afraid from her but… now I had a maelstrom of thoughts in my head, surely now she think of me like a freak or something like that, just when we were going so well. It comes like small gasp at first but then I had been able to take it out of my mouth.
"You had seen them, eh?... I had just… born with them like the way they are…" It wasn´t exactly the true but it had been the best with what I had come. If in the last hour she didn´t want to go, now, for sure she would run.
"They are ugly, right?" I ask her, mostly just to bolster her already made it ideas… then, it come…
I look at her with shame but immediately get surprised when I saw her shaking her head.
"I don´t think they are ugly, Master… I… I like them"
I truly was surprised for her words. All the time I had been thinking how the reaction of the people will be when I show them the true I had think that they would run in panic or even hate me like I was a monster of some kind, but… she truly was sincere, I can tell that. A smile make it place over my face as I feel better when everything had come in the good way.
"Well, thank you Ikaros" I said with a smile and a warm feeling in my checks… curious.
We spend the rest of the time in silent until we get full and she help me putting the new dishes in the sink, I´m not gonna waste dishes in good state if I can had them because I can really use them, and then I get curious again how she had just almost magical appear all that. Now we were sitting in the living room, I had turn on the tv and she was looking at it fully intrigued for the machine and its contain.
"So… how you exactly do that, ikaros? I mean, bringing all that food"
She turn to look at me with her emotionless face, I gonna need to do something about that, and then gave me a REALLY complex explanation of how her card, one that now she was giving to me so I can look at it, can help her to please any wish I can have. It was strange, but really, EVERYTHING… I had my doubts.
"Everything you said?, Wow, jeje, everyone would like that, but I thing all of them would only one banal things, like money and all that, jeje, well god now that I can actually use some jeje" I truly had just said like a joke, seriously, but I felt dump when I was crashed for a mountain of bills covering me and almost the half of the room.
"Would this be enough, Master"
I was about to shout in surprise, not to her of course, about the legality of all this but after calming myself and thinking it better about how she said everything she bring come for that place… how it was, "Synapse" right? Well I didn´t one to make another mistake with her so for the moment I can be found saving the money in some shells… what? Its free money and even when I´m not a material person I can really use now, even more when I was about to get poor.
After that incident I realize that I gonna need to had more careful talking when she was around, especially when I ask for something, but also I began to wonder if she can really grant any wish.
"Mmm… Ikaros, it´s some limit for that power of your cards?"
She stopped looking around my living room and sited herself close to me.
"I´m sorry to tell you Master that the only limit for the cards it´s the dead itself, they can´t return to life people, Master"
Well it was a good try after all, yes I was thinking what you thinking I was thinking, but can you really blame me for still want to see them?
After a disappointed sigh a return to thinking about if can really wish for something, aside for my parents I was living a really good life. I was excited when I realize what I can truly could want, but, should I ask her, I don´t really want to abuse her, even when she told me that I´m her master and all that. After a moral fight in my head I come to the conclusion that maybe a small favor wouldn´t be so bad.
"Ikaros, can you do me a favor?"
She only nod.
"Can you unlock all my powers, I mean I want to fully had them all, it would really save me a lot of time if I had to figure them all by myself" Maybe I was taking the easy way… but… no, in the same moment I ask for that I immediately feel guilty for going in such a cheat road, but it was late. Even when I hadn´t even explain her about the abilities of my eyes she just trust in the apparently omniscience of her cards. My eyes caught the white bright as it illuminated the room, raining us in full lights. It was done it.
I felt bad when the bright ceded, I had been a coward choosing the easier path, that doesn´t was how my parents had taught me. Even with all my sorrow I was able to feel it, my body felt warm as all the sudden amount of chakra had been unleashed, felt, even when I didn´t know them to, how all the secret powers of the rinnegan had been unleashed to me. But what should be a moment of joy didn´t last too much.
I fell to my knees when the sudden pain assault me, it was even worse than the other times. This time it truly felt like millions of sun were exploding in my head, and it didn´t stop in there, this time the pain not only go to my eyes but also fill all my body, every cell was screaming in agony as I was clenching my teeth. An shrieking sound that was coming directly from my head deaf me and a bright that was coming from no were blind my eyes. Even in the chaos that was myself I can still felt how Ikaros had come to my side and was holding me from the shoulders, I can´t heard her, but I suppose that she was asking if I was right or if she can help me.
After more seconds than felt like a dying eternity I finally wasn´t able to it take it anymore. I felt how all the stressful pressure had left me and I finally fade for the fatigue.
XXXXXX
I wasn´t sure how much time I had been unconscious, but this time I had felt calmer when the first thing I saw was the two emerald eyes of Ikaros. My head was resting in her lap and after I was able to felt my body again she help me getting up. Then I saw it…
It was truly confused. Looking around I saw how our surrenders had drastically change, we weren´t any more in the peaceful living room of my house, surroundings us were clouds and clouds of dirt and dust. After some more confused minutes the clouds finally go away allowing us to saw the true scene.
I frost immediately, we truly weren´t any more in my house. It was... horrible, and scary. Now, Ikaros and me, were in the middle of a colossal crater in the earth, I wasn´t able even to calculate how big it was, it radius come from miles and miles and for our perspective it seems that it hadn´t an end.
"W-w-wha- What just happen?!"
My shocked brain and body finally were able to ask the obious.
"What happen, Ikaros, where are we, had you send us here?"
I ask her, almost beggin her that she had truly take us to a strange places like this one. She just shook her head the same as my hopes.
"No, Master, the last thing my sensors captured were and incredible amount of strange energy, and after that everything become blank. My orientation sensors told me that we are still in the same coordinates at which we were"
I just look lifeless at her, I wasn´t even able to hold myself for not to worry her. This… this… I-I had…
My stone-like feet finally move and began to take me in a race around the place… I had run for at least ten minutes, not really at full speed… in that moment I was barely able to breath, until I saw it.
I blink in shock for the object in front of me. Rectangular, white and with a golden oval in right side of it. It was a door, but not only a simple door, even when it was almost totally torn down I was still able to recognize it. My knees support my weight and I contemplate with horror… it was… it was, Sohara´s door… the door that had allowed me a lot of times to enter in her house.
I stayed in that place just looking at the door in the ground, almost buried to the half. My brain was trying to process the situation but I just wasn't able to understand it… what had just…
The wind small and almost kind air blast told me that Ikaros had just arrive behind me. She was just about to speak when for some reason my legs take me in a walk for the lifeless land. Even when my shattered mind wanted to stop my body didn´t allow it. It was just like my body was trying to punish me for my mistake, no, for my atrocity. I walk for the grisly and depressing place; it was almost a complete plane surface, just sometimes some debris, some ones bigger than other ones, would pop out of the destroyed surface of the earth. I didn´t know how much time had taken me, for the moment I had ended climbing the edge of that monstrosity the sun had almost hide behind the distant and still intact mountains.
If the crater wasn´t good its surroundings weren´t better. It had seemed that I giant man had taken a gargantuan shovel and had thrown all the trash, earth rubble that once had been… Sorami city, to the edges of the giant scar in the world. Now I was able to saw were all the buildings, schools and meadows had ended. It was… horrible.
I fall to my knees; my eyes throw tears with all their strength and began to cry in pain. I recognize this feeling; I had just had it once but had been enough for one life. This pain, it was the same that I felt when for my fault my parents had die, when for my fault a person had DIE…
"Master…"
"I-I-I… I had… done it, Ikaros… I had done this, all the city, all the people… Sohara… Tomoki… what I had done!" I let out some more sobs until I was barely able to talk again.
"What, what had I done!, WHAT THE HECK I HAD DONE!... I-I´m… I´m a monster…" The tears and my pain didn´t allow me continue, just scowled me for what I had just done, it was me, it wasn´t any doubt, that feeling, now I understand it…
I wasn´t so sure how much time I had spent it just lying in there, hating me to no end. But them… at the moment I wasn´t sure what just Ikaros had told me, I had just instinctively gave her my approval, but after just some fractions of seconds my brain process the information.
I turn around in horror and shock to find out that Ikaros was already pointing her head with some kind of strange gun, ready to finish with her life. It had just happen in a fraction of time, but if I had been slower everything had ended in that moment. Our bodies fall to the ground as I had just shot down the poor girl, launching in the process the hateful weapon. I was in top of her, and maybe in other moment I had immediately had gotten up and apologize with her, but in that moment I can only… beg her.
"NO! Please, don´t do it!"
"But… I can cancel an order, Master"
"I don´t care! J-just… just stay with me please! I beg you… please… I D-don´t… don´t want to be alone, not again, I had just ruined everything and… and… Heck! Why can this be just a Nightmare…" I began to cry again, just hoping that at least she wouldn´t go to, even without that, I could never really forgive me if something happen to her. My sob fall a little when I felt her kind hand pressing my head in her chest, trying to comfort me.
XXXXXX
I suddenly awake patting heavily. Looking to my surroundings I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that now I was in my room, lying in my futon. Then I remember it and quickly began to desperately to search for Ikaros. I let out another calm sigh when I found her sitting in her knees by mi side. Then I ask what had needed to be asked.
"Ikaros, what had just happened?!"
"Master had wish everything to be just a nightmare… so I made it everything just that, a nightmare"
I blink some times until I fell to my mattress again. I scowled to me some more times and then I thank to god that it had ended. Her question caught me out of guard and I wasn´t able to hold a small blush in my cheeks as I answer her.
"Master, do you want it… do you want it to be just a nightmare to? The part about me staying with you?"
"… No, please… don´t go… you can stay..."
I that moment I almost jump to the roof when, suddenly, Ikaros enter in the futon with me under the blanks, but I stop when I saw that she just stayed in there, complete innocent looking at me not really realizing the meanings of what she was just doing, just trying to help me… and so, at least for this time I let her be.
That night I had another strange dream, it was again that blue haired girl, but this time she hadn´t ask me for help, instead she just only asked me one thing.
"Please, take care of your angel and never let her go"
XXXXX
That´s how my story begins, not really knowing how the future would be, I only know that now I had Ikaros in my life… who knows what can happen now, but I´m sure that now that she is here… everything´s gonna be fine.
Yeah. that it´s all, for now. hope to finish the next chapter the sooner I can. Oh, well, if you like it, please let me know it in the reviews or if you think I can improve in something to.
Ups, sorry I forgot previous reviews =S
Druss the legend: Thanks for you riview. You are right, maybe Nagato personality could be a little OC, since the acts that had deffine him had happened after the dead of his parents, but that still could be something good :) Yeah I had had the same fear with Tomoki, but in this chapter (I hope I had done a decent work)I had show that he not necesarily gonna overshadow Nagato, however, I gonna need him for this story, I would try to made some balance between them ;)
See all of you latter ;)
