CHAPTER 2 -//- Acid Tokyo
When the two of the girls arrived in their newest destination the first thing they realized was that they were falling. Quite literally from out of no where.
"AAAHHH!!!-~"
They both roughly landed on a ground of loose dirt and rock. When they stood and dusted off they noticed that a few hundred yards away there was a rised platform of concrete, where a crowd of cloaked people were. Fuuka raised her arm to signal them, but they were all shouting frantically.
"Oh...my..."
As Fuuka turned she was facing the hugest worm ever. This was a Tremor, equipped with a slimy mouth filled with rows upon rows of acid dripping jagged teeth. The huge creature, or three in fact were right in front of them. The cloaked people were screaming for them to high-tail it outta there.
"Gyaaahh!!"
Fuuka's travelling companion leapt up into the air with her guns in hand. As the Tremor came towards her hoping to snatch her out of the air, her fingers skillfully jerked the triggers back simultaneously letting round upon round fly into the monster until it collapsed oozing blood.
"Ha HA!"
She said triumpantly turning to watch Fuuka.
"Watch out-!"
As she called Fuuka came to face a Tremor lunging right at her, at ground level. She braced herself waiting for the distance between them to lessen, until- *PHAM!!!*
Her fist made contact square in its temple sending a shockwave throughout its enormous body, causing internal damage. It remained still, out cold.
"Just a worm!"
Fuuka said. The third Tremor fled and the cloaked figures went wild with cheers.
"Oh hey, an audience!"
All of them ran to the girls.
"Whoah whoah whoah- that was AMAZING!"
A small cloaked boy shouted gleefully. The rest of them were pretty hard to distinguish at the time.
"We thought you two were goners."
One guy said, unidentifiable. When a slight pitter-patter sounded everyone looked up.
"Rain...!?"
Fuuka felt the rain fall lightly on her skin- and it hurt!
"Ow!?"
As the tiny dropletts hit their bare arms they yelped with the burning sensation.
"What is this!?"
One person threw off his cloak and wrapped it around Fuuka's shoulders.
"This is acid rain."
The guy was very attractive, with long hair hangind over his face and his shoulders.
"Come on let's get to the tower- quickly!"
Another bigger guy offered his cloak to the nameless girl. Fuuka followed the guy to a vehicle that was very unfamiliar.
"Hop on behind me."
He mounted the loud and beast-like contraption that Fuuka just stared at.
"Come on let's go- this rain burns!"
She quickly figured out how to climb onto the motorbike (she was so clueless as to what she was on at the time) and he revved the engine and was off. Fuuka freaked and held tightly to the back of the driver's seat.
"Who are you?"
She called over the loud engines all around and the rain getting harder and louder.
"Call me Kakyou. You must have come here from another dimension right?"
"Yes, I'm Fuuka."
"Interesting miss Fuuka!"
He made the motorike go way faster.
"Have you ever ridden a motorbike!?"
"I don't even know what that is!"
Her friend was on the back of another motorbike, holding securely to a boy looking half her age, and she was having fun. Fuuka just kept her eyes shut and tried to keep up an iron grip the whole ride, until the gang of people ran into the safety of a huge tower in the middle of the deserted and unhealthy land.
"So where are we?"
Green-bang girl asked when she dismounted and ran over to Fuuka.
"I haven't figured that out yet. Are these the people we're supposed to find?"
Modoki's round little head popped out of Fuuka's hood.
"I don't see Mokona!"
"Whoah, you talk?"
"Of course!"
Farther into the building, they were climbing around and over piles of rubble and dirt, and even remnants of bodies. Once in a dry room everyone layed their hoods down. The group was six guys and a stern looking woman. Altogether a pretty trustworthy looking bunch. While Fuuka was going through introductions, the other girl wandered into another large room.
A stone bed held a slumbering guy with whispy blonde hair strewn over his face, there wasn't anyone else around. As she came closer she covered her mouth as she recognized puddles of blood around him, most of it had been cleaned off of his bed but she could tell something gruesome happened here. As her eyes glowed golden she wondered if this guy was dead?
XXXXXXXX
"We were hunting."
The little boy called Kazuki in the group of men sat on the dirt floor and started creating a small fire.
"And man am I tired! Once the rain stops someone will probably go out to get those tremors of yours! Yummy."
Fuuka cringed, still looking up and around at her surroundings.
"So I guess all of you are dimension travellers together?"
"Huh? Me and them? Nope! This has always been our place..well, 'cept Kamui sama!"
"Kamui? Which one is he?"
"He didn't come with us. Right now he's probably in the basement. He's not much of a people person anyways. Subaru might be around though..somewhere. That's Kamui's brother."
"I see. So this Kamui is a dimension-hopper?"
"Well...wait...Kamui's been here for as long as I can remember. But he, well they, did come here from somewhere else."
"Huh..I'm going to take a look around."
She made her way to the area under the buildings pillars so she was protected from the rain but could look around in three directions to look at the vast wasteland. What could this land have been like previously? Did the rain erode the land to this state?
Her thoughts were inturrupted by sighting a rather large dark looking guy nearby.
"Who the hell are you? You don't look familiar at all."
He said. A scrawnier looking boy Fuuka's age was a bit more polite but both of them looked unhappy. Apparently they were watching a friend of theirs' depart into the dangerous area.
"Where are you from?"
The boy, whose name was Syoaran asked.
"Fudal Era Japan."
"We also came here from a separate dimension."
The huge guy said, he was called Kurogane.
Ai came closer to observe the unconscious man. He looked rather attractive, and he stirred.
^Okay, at least he isn't dead.^
She jumped in surprise when he abruptly sat up awake. He had one eye hidden behind a dark patch, the uncovered one was a charming blue.
"Um..hello there."
He said stretching. When Ai moved her hands she breathed in a highly intoxicating waft of air that made her head spin.
^Whoah..he's a vampire! So..strong...can't take it..^
She fell unconsciously to the ground.
When she awoke the blonde guy had laid her on the stone bed thing, and this room wasn't as empty as it was before.
"Are you well? You took quite a fall, glad you didn't hit your head too hard."
He said kindly with a warm smile. Fuuka was nearby too with two strangers.
"I am Fai D. Flourite and these are my travelling companions Kurgy and Syoaran!"
He introduced them, wondering why her hands were holding her nose.
"This is the group of people that Yuko sent us to find. There's a girl too but she's off somewhere."
Fuuka said.
"Really..then..hello everyone.."
"So what do we call you new friend?"
Fai asked.
"I...well.. I...I know it..."
"Do you not remember your name?"
Fuuka spoke up for her,
"In order to travel she had to pay that price to the witch. She took her name."
Fuuka looked over as the young boy in the cloak ran up to her.
"Fuuka, come with us to hunt!"
"Okay, okay."
She let herself be dragged away. Fai looked up at the slightly flustered girl who claimed to have no name.
"So you had your actual name taken in exchange for the ability to leave your world. That is unusual. So then you are nameless at the moment."
"Yeah.."
"I'm going to give you a name then. After all, someone has to. Would that be okay with you?"
She stared in surprise.
"Huh? You want to name me?"
"I'd be happy too."
He smiled.
"Well if you really want to..."
She sat on one of the elevated stone blocks.
"Well then... I'll make it easy to remember. But pretty. A girl has to have a pretty name. Ah! I've got it. Ai."
"Ai?"
"Yes! Ai! It's short, simple, and it rhymes with my name, so that makes it extra special right?"
"I like it! I really do!"
She said excitedly.
"Alright then, you have a name. A nice one."
"This is great! I'm gonna go tell my friend about it."
"The girl with red hair right?"
"Yeah, I came here with her. She's my friend Fuuka!"
"You seem like a very friendly person."
"Wanna come with me?
Fai brushed some of his hair back.
"I don't know about that, I mean I just woke up after....um...let's just say, a very needed nap."
She started breathing through her nose again, and was only slightly light-headed.
"Okay, then I have a question for you."
She crossed her legs under her and got comfortable. She was about two feet apart from his stone seat.
"Your name is Fai right?"
She asked eagerly.
"Yes. And your name is Ai."
He replied bending so that his chin was supported by his fist.
"So you're a newborn..."
He watched her a little confused for a second, his smile turned into a thin line.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're a vampire.."
He was quiet for a little while. He nearly forgot all about whatever went on before he became unconcious only a few hours ago. Most of the traumatic experiance seemed to jump into his head at the same time, he hid the flinch by reaching up to scratch his head. He'd better get used to being called a vampire sooner or later.
"Yes I am."
"Like me!"
She hid her smile behind her hands.
"Really? So then you are a vampire. I couldn't tell."
"Yep, every drop of blood in my body is that of a vampire since I was born. And I could smell you as soon as I saw you."
"Smell me? Well, I admit I haven't had many opportunities for a shower lately..."
"No no, you see we can smell other vampires. Your sences might be a little fogged right now since your brain just can't handle it."
"My vision is very blurry."
"That will clear up the next time you get a really good sleep. And I mean it will really clear up. Your smell should kick in soon and..yeah all sorts of other stuff. Right now your smell was so strong that I passed out earlier."
"And I just thought I was a really good looking guy!"
He teased smiling. Ai just stuttered open mouthed, then looked away laughing.
"So how are you feeling then? I don't really know what it's like to be changed."
"I'm achy all over. And just the thought of the immense amount of searing pain that pulsed through my every vein as if there was fire peeling through my skin. I begged to die, and they just wouldn't let me."
He didn't have to look up to let her see the misery swirling in his pupils. She just stared in horror.
"Oh wow...are you really all right Fai-san?"
He quickly switched to a big smile as if a big bubble of his problems just popped in front of him.
"I'm just fine!"
She looked pretty taken aback by his suddenly cheery disposition.
"Just forget what I said! No need to trouble yourself with my foolish talking. I think I will take a walk around right now, I need some nice air."
He stood up slowly, stretching his bunched up muscles while Ai was still a little shocked.
"Well, come on then little Ai. This place is so stuffy, I can't imagine what it's like to someone with such an acute sense of smell."
She stood up with him and followed him out of that stuffy room.
