Poetaster and Singing Dolls
"Meaningless wordplay, a meaningful dream of consciousness. A tarnished yet pure melody casts a brilliant shadow."
Chapter 1- Finding Yourself in the Looking Glass
- walked out side of her house to make the short journey to school. She glanced up at the monochromed colored sky. Calm and gloomy. Just the way she liked it. She took out her IPod, and turned it on, quickly untangling the earphones to the best of her motivation, while complaining about it. After, finally getting it untangled she put her earphones in and played one of her favorite songs at the moment. Poetaster and Singing Dolls made by hazyP, sung by Kaito and Gakupo. She walked to school that day irritated at everyone around her, feeling distant.
She made it to school on time but not really caring. She spied her friends outside the music room, scowled then walked away. One of her annoying "friends" popped up out of no where and started talking to her.
"Please don't talk to me." She mumbled and walked on. Julia, the annoying friend, gave off a pissed off sigh and - just simply flipped her off and continued walking.
Her alien mood continued throughout first block and until lunch.
"Well, well looks like your sister is in a bad mood." Gakupo said smiling slyly. Kaito was lying on the couch, scowling. Len stole his ice cream and he was NOT happy. He knew perfectly well why his sister was in a bad mood, because he is. Which was weird. Their bond has already grown strong even though his sister hasn't awakened yet. He rolled over to face the couch and tried to go back to sleep, sleep he hasn't gotten in three days because the prinicipal keeps piling his work on Kaito.
Gakupo tapped him on the shoulder and pointed towards the small bowl of water (looking glass) they were using to watch over Kaito's sister.
"What?" Kaito mumbled irritably wanting to go to sleep.
"Fine. Don't look at your sister glowing with Blue NEL." Gakupo said crossing his arms and closing his eyes in an irritated manner. He opened one eye.
"What?" Kaito yelled and instantly shot up off of the couch. He was suddenly wide awake. He looked into the Looking Glass. It was true. She was glowing with Blue NEL. Strange. He thought. They don't start glowing with NEL until around age twenty. She's only 14.
A strange tingling was spreading through out her body as she walked to the lunch table. Ugh. What ever this feeling is I hate it. Then, the ground started vibrating. She was, to her observations, the only one who noticed. She turned to her friends to say something but she never got the chance. For the things she was about to witness was the something she was only able to witness.
"What is my name, what is it! What IS IT!" A mechincal voice yelled. Just then the school yard began to shake violently, throwing her off her feet. The ground was beginning to crack, and moved upwards with such force, that huge pieces of Earth, the size of a Locomotive, flew up into the sky. She looked around. It seemed that no one other then her was experiencing this. They would just kind of stare at her like she was crazy and then go back to talking. Why? There was no time to ask as she continued to be tossed around by the violent shaking. Still no one helped her. "What the hell is going on! Are you people fucking stupid?" Silence. It was as if she was in a different plan of existance.
From a sudden hole in the ground, a gas, that was a greenish red color, had begun to rise. The pieces of Earth that had been flung in the air earlier had finally begun their decent downwards. They had reached terminal velocity by the time they hit the ground sending smaller chunks into the air. No one noticed. No one cared. Not one scream, not even a helping hand try to save her.
The shaking ceased. She got up to her feet slowly, in pain, covered in bruises. Once she stood tall and with some ounce of confidence, debris falling at more then 100 mph came crashing down on the school building she was in. "Oh, shit! What the bloody hell is happening to this place?" She yelled as the debris hit the ground with such explosive force that a shock wave resonated throughout the building. She got more strange stares. Part of the school's walls were hurdling towards her. If it wasn't for the shook wave, that sent it in another direction, she would have been hit dead in the face. If that were to have happened her head would have been crushed, disfigured, ripped apart, and then would have exploded.
- laid on the ground, defenseless and in pain.
Kaito got out his two guns and was ready to make an entrance to his sister's world.
"What are you doing?" Gakupo asked looking up from the Looking Glass.
"I'm going to save my sister. What do you think?"
"I wouldn't be ready go just yet." Gakupo said and pointed back to the bowl. Kaito anxiously looked at it.
Doing what any human would do she crossed her arms infront of herself and closed her eyes. A large crackle of energy exploded in the room. "SUPARI!" "CRUSH!" "CRACK!" Dust suddenly blinds her, and she is clueless of what had happened. She looks over to her right side seeing that somehow that rock had been sliced into two halves. "What is going on?" She whispered to herself. "What just happened? Why did that not kill me, but break in two?"
Human curiosity had now taken over to what was in the huge opening in the ground. The school was destroyed, shattered in billions of pieces but no one paid attention to the chaos. She made her way through the rubble. Just as she looked down into it, an eye, about the size of a tire from a Monster truck, showed it's self. It beat it's eye lid as if questioning her presence. It slowly rose out of the ground showing it's gargantuous height.
It's body looked half-man & half-robotic crab. It was starting to show it's full height, around the size of Tokyo Tower . "What the …? What the hell is that thing?" She mumbled to herself. By now the creature had gotten it's self fully out of the ground and it started looking at her, with it's round, cat-like eye. It's arms were that of a man's, it's "hands" are metal pinchers like a crab, has legs like a normal sized crab, and had the torso of a man, along with a man's head, but unlike a man it had only one eye, no nose, and a mouth of a crab.
"Oh god I hope that-that-that THING didn't see me." She stuttered unsteadily walking backwards. It did see her but paid no attention to her. Thinking that it was going to attack her she rolled behind some debris that was near.
The creature began to become misshaped, and discolored. Space and time seemed to have started to spin in a spiral like pattern around the creature. The area that is now spinning has became a light purple shade, mixing into the world she was looking at. "What's it doing? Seriously, what the hell is going on?" A white light had flashed, blinding her of what was happening, when she looked back at where the creature was, it looked no different then before.
"What was the point of that? Does it know where I'm at?." It lifted one out of six legs, high into the air, storm clouds built up over head, it slammed it's leg onto the ground causing an earthquake, and it started to sprinkle. Now everyone was panicking, running like headless chickens, around the school. The school she didn't see was still intact and wasn't damage at all, but now the school she went to was getting destroyed. Rain fell, and as it hit the ground steam rose from where it hit, eating away at the ground and anything it touched.
She looked for people she knew in the massive, crazed crowd of the school. She found two of her friends, they were outside of the building, getting rained on. They were screaming, crying, and bleeding as this pure acid rain fell upon them. She ran to them, not worrying about the massive creature that was causing all this horror upon this area, she tried to help them, but they didn't even notice her there. They were completely oblivious to her presence as they continued to cry in pain. She couldn't do anything, the rain however didn't have the same affect on her as it did everyone else. There and then she watched her friends die, in front of her, having acid fall upon them, dissolving them alive and she couldn't do a thing. The creature from hell was causing the school to collapse and the roof of the building had started to collapse under it's own weight. Caving inwards the roof was weakened by the acid rain, making it fall to the floor below it.
There are three floors to this school, and then the third floor gave out with a loud creaking sound, just as loud as a gun shot. The Domino Affect, The roof knocked the third floor out, The Roof & Third Floor caused the Second Floor to give, and the weight from all three floors made the first floor break and fall into the basement. Everyone who was in that building died a horrible death, almost as horrible as seeing someone getting hit by napalm. She left her friends for dead sense she couldn't do anything, running away for her life as the roof collapsed inward. Then the white light from before flashed again. She was close to the Robotic crab-man. It looked weakened, like it was unprepared for what it was doing, it took it's worst parts of metal off throwing them anywhere, not caring where they went. The rain stopped as quickly as it started, and she is unable to comprehend what has happened. She was scared, frightened, and broken hearted .
She ran, not knowing where she was going, but ended up at her house. It was ruined, by a piece of unwanted metal. She rummaged the ruins of what was once her home, she fell, and there where she was going to land was a piece of red hot metal. She hit her arm on it, her palm hitting if first, breaking her hand and arm all at once. This gave her third degrees burns.
Screaming out in pain, "OW!" Sucking in air through her clenched teeth, "FUCKING HELL! Why are my parents at work! They should be home by now! God fucking damn it!" Shock started to over come her, and she started to pass out. The room got dark slowly, she was trying to fight it away. To stay awake, to see her parents, to stay alive. It was useless, she used what energy she had to fight it off, but it won, she passed out soon after she closed her eyes.
"Okay! Now we have to go get her before she dies!" Kaito said with a little guilt in his heart for not getting to his sister eariler.
Gakupo willing to follow Kaito anywhere, as he had a crush on him readied his swords.
Kaito started preparing a giant looking glass using the moisture in the air and some from the bowl of water. Crystal blue energy crackled threw the air and a couple of minutes passed before the giant mirror sized looking glass was finished. He grabbed Gakupo's hand and they both jumped through it.
Going through the looking glass is a weird experience. It felt like trying to run through Jell-O, it seemingly took forever. After what seemed like an eternity before they would reach Kaito's sister. They finally appeared at Kaito's sister's house. They stumbled in front of her house and after they regained their balance. They ran to Kaito's sister right as she passed out.
Thank you for reading chapter 1. After a while I finally came back to this story to work on chapter 3 and realized that I needed to redo chapters 1 and 2. So that's what I'm currently working on.
I would like to think my friend Mikuo for making the scene in which - or - sense it apparently doesnt want to save as - face the giant half-crab, half-man creature...I still need a name for that.
The parts where - or - shows up is the main characters name. You do not know her true human name and most likely won't for a long time.
I hope you enjoyed it~! Leave reviews. Please! 8D
