Chapter 2.
Hello and welcome to my story. I figured that this was an angle that hadn't been explored yet. It hit me as a flash of inspiration some nights and rushed to the computer to write down some of it. Thanks for the reviews, favorites and follows. I'm usually very busy but I'll try and update every Tuesday and Friday or Saturday. Maybe more often if I'm not swamped with work and homework.
Disclaimer: I don't anything, except my ideas, and even then the government wants to take those too…
A flurry of shadows and light danced in a twirling spiral in front of my eyes, squinting to as to protect my eyes I find myself at the entrance of a velvet blue room. Faint noises could be heard from farther inside of the room. The room itself resembled a bar with a single high chair in front of the counter where the back of man could be seen. Behind the counter multiple doors could be seen, the man was conversing with someone behind one of the doors.
"He can't be here yet! He's not ready to face his powers." The man exasperatedly told the figure.
"But there is no choice in the matter, if he does not get his power he will die, and the world thrust into eternal darkness." A calm voice drifted back to him, "our guest has arrived do take good care of him, won't you Igor?"
"Fine, but were not done yet," he shot back as the figure vanished into the shadows behind the door. "Welcome to the Velvet Room my dear guest." He turned to me showing me the largest nose that has ever 'graced' any face I've ever seen. "I'm sure you have many questions but first I would have you sign this paper." He passed me a folder that held a single paper inside, 'I doth choseth this path as mine own. I will accept any consequences and responsibilities that come from this path.'
"And why do I have to sign this paper, Igor was it?" I asked the older gentleman.
He gave me a small sigh, "The paper will allow you to unlock your true potential inside of you, allowing what was locked inside of you to be set free." He cryptically answered back.
"And I don't sign this paper?"
"You wouldn't want to do that," holding up a hand to hold back my protest "currently you're in a hospital, the knife penetrated deeper than you thought, it pierced a vein, you lost a lot of blood and are currently in a comatose state of being. Only by releasing the power that your mind holds will your body be able to withstand the punishment that was dealt to it." He smiled at me.
"… So, I'm pigeon hold aren't I?"
"The choice is, dear guest, is always yours." He smiled even further at me.
"Some choice, very well, just sign the paper right?" He nodded approval, brandishing the pen that the held out to me I quickly signed the paper in a flourish. "Now you can answer my questions, yea?" Nod again. "Who was that person that you were talking to earlier?"
His eyes widened slightly, "That my dear guest, is for him to decide to answer. I'm afraid that I cannot answer that at this moment." He looked apologetic at me.
"Very well then, what is to happen to me here?" I shot the next question out.
"By here I believe that you mean Port Island and its connection to this room?" I nod, "that, my dear guest, is for you to answer. This is a place where power gathers, you are the first guest in a long time. In time you will have to use that power. Ah, we shouldn't keep you here any further, the next time we meet you will come here of your own accord. Until then, I wouldn't run from the hospital like you were planning to."
A free falling sensation hit me as I felt myself leave the room, feeling wraithlike; I slowly panicked, momentarily thinking that I had passed on. Within moments I could feel my body again as I regained my sense in the world of the living. Careful to leave my breathing the same, I cracked open my eyes a sliver to check if there was anybody in the room with me. Suspicion helped me on more than one occasion, seeing that there wasn't anyone there, I quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed my clothes were they lay on chair. Shedding the hospital gown that I had on, I quickly donned my pants, hearing voices coming from outside the room I quickly hid behind the door. The red haired beauty from before entered along with the silver haired man, seeing that I wasn't in the bed or presently in plain sight they rushed out of the door yelling for the doctor. Sensing that this would be an opportune moment to run I dashed out of the room and towards an elevator sign that I had spotted.
"Hey you, Stop!" I heard yelled behind me, as I looked behind me I saw that the red haired beauty and the silver haired youth running after me. "How can she run with such high heels?" a random thought passed my head, shaking my head to clear my memories I ran as hard as I could towards the elevator as I saw the stairs sign, knowing that it would be best to go down the stairs to try and lose them the I changed courses and ran towards the stairs.
"Go down the elevator Mitsuru, I'll follow him down the stairs," the silver haired youth yelled as he followed on my heels quickly. She nodded as she waited for the elevator as he followed me. As soon I was in the stair well I hugged the wall next to the door, hoping to catch him off guard. He quickly burst in and quickly looked around he was meet my fist thrown at him. "The hell man?! Where just trying to help you." He yelled to me as he guarded my punches that I was throwing with my right hand. I threw a hard kick to the side that caught him off guard and he fell like a side of potatoes clutching his ribs.
Running down the stairs like the devil himself was at my heels I made it down to the ground floor after going down 10 stories. Stopping for a second to catch my breath and figure out where I was going, I looked around and saw glass doors that most likely lead to the outside, figuring that that was the exit I ran towards it only to find my way blocked by a the red haired beauty.
"Move, or I'll have to move you." I snarled at her.
She, the epitome of calmness just stared me down. She spoke and the world listened, "Stop now, or I will have to execute you." Visible shudders could be seen on the hospital staff around as they fled the scene not wanting to see the carnage that the red head could produce.
"Looks like I get to move you." I quickly ran towards the red head planning on knocking her off her feet and rush past her, when a world of cold hit me I fell down face first onto the floor which promptly knocked me out again.
Waking with full body restraints is not a pleasant way to wake up. Knowing that I would be watched, I opened my eyes and looked around to see a fuming silver haired man and the red head from before watching me with cold eyes. "Mr. Minato Arisato, according to this list you are wanted on charges for first degree murder and multiple accounts of theft. Quite the record you have there isn't? I can see why you were so anxious to leave the hospital in such a hurry. Anything you would like to say Mr. Arisato?" She calmly spewed my way.
Gritting my teeth I barked out my answer, "I was framed, I was chasing a man, a very dangerous man. I made a mistake when I was looking into his past, and it cost me dearly. It left one man dead and me on the run. The only way that my family would be safe was if I took the fall for his actions."
"Hmm... and what the name of the man?" she prodded trying to find out more about the mystery man.
"At the time he was in charge of a small company, though my resources say since then he has exponentially expanded, violently." I said to add affect; the deadpanned look told me it failed, worth trying anyways, "his name is Takeharu Kirijo."
Gasp! Kirijo's involved in another bloody past. Sorry for the wait I've been really busy lately, 10 hours of homework and two double shifts is not a good way to pass the time. But anyways here is the chapter I hope you enjoy it.
