Yeah; just so you people know, he didn't poof away. You'll see what I mean… just read…
I'm also working on an Akatsuki Fic, for the lovers of Naruto… HAHA!
Anyways, to chapter 18!!! Oh, before I forget, the song used (its lyrics) is Picture Perfect (In Your Eyes), 'Kay?
Where is Dia? Another Awkward Dream!
There was a more of an eerie tune playing, and Tsubaki was wondering what in the hell was happening.
She looked around to see nothing but pitch-black darkness. No light, but for some reason, she could see herself.
"It's a dream…" She thought to herself, "But it feels too real…"
"Yo." A voice said from behind her back, it was a male's voice and it was excited and threatening.
Tsubaki got scared, but scared enough to turn her head.
She saw a boy at least a year older than her, he looked almost like Dia, only his bangs didn't cover his face, and he had blood-red eyes, and orange -red hair, and, boy, did he look like a punk. He had a studded collar, a spiky bracelet, and his clothing was all ripped; he had plaid jeans, and a t-shirt with skulls all over them.
"Who are you?" Tsubaki asked.
"I'm Nio, your name, miss?"*
"I'm Tsubaki… Are you related to Dia?"
Nio stared for a minute in thought; "Hm… Sure. I'm his brother, I guess…"
"You guess?"
"Well, yeah, but I'm like his brother."
"Hey, are you actually talking to me in a dream, or is this all my imagination, because Dia never mentioned anything about a brother, or a family, even!"
"'Course not. He doesn't remember me! He lost his memory a while back, as I can tell!"
"You're not like him at all…" Tsubaki said with a sigh.
Nio turned his head rashly and stared directly in Tsubaki's eyes; "Well, he's a phony category, and I'm Death, so be at it."
"How are you saying that?"
"What, the kid never told you?! Then I'll help him out for you!"
He came close to Tsubaki, and then whispered in her ear; "He's a vampire, alright, but he's more. He's a Vampirac God, Tsubaki. Ever wonder why he was better than other vampires? Well, there's your reason, kiddo."
----
"So, then," Shinigami-sama started to say, "You don't know where Dia-kun went?"
DeathScythe sighed; "No, we haven't a clue."
"And you're also saying that there was an illusion of his body?"
"Yes, there wasn't any Soul Wavelength, either."
"Well, Dia is a vampire; he can trick the mind… Maybe Dia was always an illusion!"
"Shinigami-sama, he's had a Soul Wavelength when we met him…"
"Oh… Riiiiiiiight…."
-Sweat drop-
"Well, then he might have run away!"
"Don't jump to such dramatic conclusions, sir!"
"This ain't a drama, Spirit-kun. So stop acting like it is."
"Yes, Shinigami-sama…" -GLOOM-
There was a long period of silence…
"What were we talking about, again?" The Death God thought out loud.
"We were talking about Dia's disappearance…"
"Oh, riiiiiiiight…"
"But, if he did run away, he has to have a reason…"
"It might be Spirit-chan…"
"Hmm…." The two both pondered.
… They're still thinking…
…
You know, we should just move along to what Kid's doing….
At the Front of the School…
On the steps sat the young Shinigami, he was bored. How bored? Well, I dun no, bored as I am clueless.
Kid got out of the Infirmary a couple weeks ago, and for some reason, Black*Star was starting more fights with him than usual.
"Hey, Kiddo." A female voice said from behind.
Kid turned around and saw that it was Spirit; "Hi, how are you?"
She sat down on the steps with Kid; "Eh, not so great…"
"I could see that," Kid gave a bittersweet smile, "You know, even though you think you hate him, he still is your partner, and you still have some respect for him, right?"
Spirit nodded.
"He's like your best friend, right?"
She nodded once more.
"You can't forget him… can you?"
"Sure… of course, I can never forget his face…" She started to quiver.
Kid stared for a moment; "Spirit… Are you alright?"
"No, I'm not…!" Spirit started to sob uncontrollably, making Kid feeling very bad for her.
He patted her back and stared to whisper to her; "It's alright, Spirit… It's alright…"
Spirit jumped up and wiped away her tears; "I shouldn't be crying right now…"
She started to walk away, Kid following her.
"Where are you going?" Kid asked the Death Scythe.
"I'm going to find Dia, even if it kills me."
"Are you really that desperate?"
"Maybe yes; maybe no."
"Can I come with you?"
"Sure, but don't guarantee total safety."
Then Kid realized something; "Where to start looking?"
Spirit stopped for a second, and had a sour look on her face.
There was more pondering…
"That Ice Tower place where you kids found him?" Spirit thought aloud.
"Sounds good… I guess?"
"Okay, let's go!"
Kid froze for a moment; he felt someone's presence other than himself and Spirit.
"Hold on, Spirit," Kid held his hand up to Spirit's body, "I feel a Soul Wavelength…"
"It's Tsubaki-chan, yo, Tsubaki!" Spirit waved her hand to the Dark Demon Weapon.
"Hi, Spirit, hi, Kid-kun." Tsubaki smiled and waved.
Kid hid behind the Black Blade, he was hiding of embarrassment. **
"Why are you hiding, Kid?" Spirit said with annoyance.
Kid's face was about 10 shades of pink. He hadn't talked to Tsubaki ever since he recovered, you know, he was all chocked up… or he said random things…
"Kid, are you alright?" Tsubaki asked the young Shinigami.
"UH, YES, I'M FINE, EH, YEAH. NICE CONVERSATION, BYE!"
There was an awkward silence.
"Um… can I join you two as well? And probably knock some sense into Kid…" Tsubaki asked.
"Sure, you can, twerp." Spirit replied.
"NO! I mean, uh, sure, why not?" Kid stuttered.
"KID, YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING THE REST OF THE ADVENCHA! GOT IT?" Spirit scolded Kid.
"Yes, ma'am,"
AND ON THEY WENT! THE ADVENCHA!

Somewhere else in the world…
"Nice to see you again, how are you?" a frightening voice to even wake up the dead asked a boy with misty blue eyes.
The boy with the blue eyes was in chains all over and his arms were staked to the wall, his clothing was all ripped and he was very pissed off at the moment, and for some reason, he was somewhat scared, even though he knew what was going on.
"Well, kid…?" the voice boomed once more.
The blue-eyed boy stayed silent, he didn't want to respond, not after he heard what was really true about his true self, because, really, if he was a god, he was a really weak god.
He couldn't master people's minds, he couldn't make a human dead by just by the snap of fingers, and he couldn't manipulate people's dreams, even! Really, he couldn't be a god.
If only he had his memory with him, than he might have had answers.
If only, if only, that's always how it ended up with him.
Well, now, if only he could remove some stupid stakes out from his arms, he would have one 'If Only' of his list, poor guy.
"Aw, c'mon, can't 'cha speak up already?"
"I'm doing just fucking fine, okay? You've had it, so there."
The voice stay silent for a while, and then he started talking; "You know, if I just did one little spell for you, I'll make you feel like a god…"
"Ha, no thanks, I already have other things to worry about! So go away!"
"What do you mean by that, your silly mortal friends? Well, I have a confession; they all could care less about you. I can see everyone's soul, since I am Knowledge, and they think you're just a murderous being."
"That's completely untrue! They are all very good friends, and they care about me like they care about their lives! So how are you so sure?!"
"I'm completely sure, now, here's the spell…"
"HOLD ON A SECOND! THAT DOESN'T ANSWER ANY-"
But the boy got cut off, the spell was cast. After passing out, his eyes turned crimson red, and there were markings on his face that had ancient writing.
A boy with the appearance of a punk walked into the same dark room, stared at the unconscious body, and smiled; "This really ought a put some sense into him, eh, bro?"
"It sure will, Nio, and hopefully, he'll take out those mortals, so he'll come back with us."
Nio started laughing uncontrollably; "That only means more war, how fun!"
"Kid, shut up, you're getting on my nerves."
Nio stopped laughing, but he still had a smirk on his face; "Alright, but I'll be in here tomorrow, so don't complain about a missing unconscious body, okay?"
"Sure, now get out of my sight."
Nio's smirk turned into a scowl; "Sorry for future notices…" and he left. He didn't want to get in trouble with the one of the Master of the Gods, so, he just left it alone and thought of what fun he would have tomorrow.
