EoS: Alright, here's something a little different from what you've seen before. This is the first part of a three-chapter arc revolving around Rin, a runaway. Now, these next three chapters are going to be dark. Very dark. This story as a whole is an attempt to draw away from the lighthearted harem-ness of the previous stories, and showing you just how dark this world can be. And seeing how we've switched to another country, I figured now would be a good time. Now, these next chapters are going to involve rape, child abuse, and a whole load of other edgy material, so if you don't want that, I'd suggest you skip the next few chapters. But as far as real world problems, this'll probably be the worst it gets. For the moemon world? Well… You'll see. Let's just say this story will live up to its "M" rating.
Lauren: Are you still talking, or can other people have a shot?
Wings Of The Dragon:
Lauren: Preaching to the choir, sister.
ProfessorBranch:
EoS: Yes, it is.
Foxfawn:
Lauren: If my boyfriend cheated on me, let alone with two girls, I would rip off his balls (one for each girl)
EoS: You know, I don't see how a guy could cheat with two girls. I mean… did you tell the other girls? How did they react? Man, I don't envy that guy. Dealing with angry chicks is hard enough when you're not dating them…
Lauren: Listen, I want you to tell us all about it, and we can help see you through this emotional trouble.
EoS: What are we, an advice column?
Mario Nerd:
Lauren: Maybe I'll rip out your heart, mate?
Electrify:
EoS: It's arrow IN the knee.
The Black Okami:
Lauren: (SMASH HEAD IN)
EoS: (Lays bleeding and dying)
HidingFromTheCold:
EoS: You'll see. There is a reason for why he doesn't make love to Sora. And yes, the main characters DO love their moemon.
RandomDragon:
EoS: Lauren, apologize.
Lauren: Over your dead body.
EoS: …Sorry, I don't see her apologizing any time soon.
Scorch321:
Lauren: 32 hit combo!
FINISH HIM!
(Lauren sends EoS flying across the room)
Lauren: So, who are you in love with?
Some guy named Blaze:
Lauren: …It's not just pedophiles…
EoS: You're five feet tall. It's just pedophiles.
Lauren: You know bloody well that it's not just pedophiles.
TheLightningPunisher:
EoS: Um… I will. Thanks.
Twilit wolf:
EoS: Instinct.
Sunlight panther:
Lauren: You have wacked tastes.
Aurore's Moemon Adventure
Chapter 7
A young figure ran through the night streets of Accumula Town, panting. She was holding onto her arm, which was dripping blood. She arrived in a dark ally, looking around frantically.
"What's the matter, girl?" A man asked, walking up to her, smirking, the girl spinning around, shocked.
"Please…" The girl gasped, backing up against the brick wall. "Please, stay 'way…"
"Now, come on, girly…" Another man said, walking out from the shadows, followed by a third. "We're not gonna hurt you, we just wanna have a little fun, that's all…"
"No…" The girl said, shaking her head, her shoulder-length hair shaking from side to side. "Ya don' understand… please, stay 'way…"
"She's just a little kid." One of the men said in mock-sympathy.
"Yeah, but I bet she still knows how to please a man." The leader said, pulling out a switchblade, the knife sticking out, gleaming in the pale moonlight.
"NO!" The girl exclaimed, falling to the ground, holding up her hands to shield herself. Bricks from the walls behind and beside her began trembling, before they shot out of the walls, hitting the three fine, upstanding citizens. The bricks continued to rain down on them, leaving a bloody pile of bricks lying in the center of the alley. Shaking, the girl rose to her feet, and ran away through a hole in the wall she created, still trembling.
"Ah, Accumula Town…" Aurore said, walking into the streets of the town, smiling. The streets were lit by the light, illuminating the dark streets a little.
"This place is nice…" Bluebell said, clinging onto Aurore's arm, smiling.
"Bluebell, do you think you could let go of my arm?" Aurore asked, smiling awkwardly.
"Why?" Bluebell asked, frowning.
"I sense a killer intent." Aurore said, pointing at Sora, who was smiling, a black aura emanating from her.
Suddenly, the sounds of screaming caused the four of them to spin their heads.
"Alright, you guys, stay here!" Aurore ordered.
"Do it!" Aurore said, frowning. "I'm gonna go see what the problem is!"
Aurore ran off towards the direction of the screams, leaving three very confused moemon.
"Are you sure master will be alright?" Bluebell asked anxiously, fidgeting.
"Oh, yeah!" Sora said, smiling. "Master doesn't look like it, but he's strong as an ox!"
"…And about as clever." Oshawott said, smirking.
"That's mean!" Sora said, frowning, upset. "Master is even more smart than he is strong! He's amazing! He can do anything! Just you watch!"
Sora was almost in tears at this point, her eyes filling up with an unbelievable amount of liquid.
"Hey is anyone…" Aurore said, running into the alley, but pulled to a stop when he saw what was in front of him. "Oh, god…"
Aurore stared at the sight before him, a hand over his mouth. His expression was totally calm and composed as always, but the wheels in his head were spinning. Before him was a pile of bricks, that were dyed (or "died") an even darker shade of red by the blood.
"I think I'm gonna hurl." Aurore said, a hand still clamped over his mouth, the scent of blood nearly making him vomit. "The air's still thick with blood… Question is, what could do this sort of thing…"
Giving the bloody brick pile (stacked atop the bodies) a wide birth, Aurore walked towards the end of the alley.
"Strange…" Aurore said, staring at the holes in the wall, running his finger along the edge of one. "Smooth… So the bricks weren't forced out, by something like an earthquake… I'd say that something pulled the bricks out using a move like psychic and then heaved 'em at the guys…"
Suddenly, something caught Aurore's eye. He looked down, and saw blood on the ground. Which, given the situation, wasn't any big miracle, but this blood…
"It's different…" Aurore said, staring at the blood. The blood splatter was small, like that of a knife wound, and a good two, three meters away from the would-be rapists.
Aurore turned to see more blood, leading in a trail through one of the holes in the alleyway wall.
"Well, so someone walked away from this…" Aurore said, walking into the hole. "Interesting…"
The wall was one of the walls of an old brick building that might have once been a fire department, but was now shut down. There were tons of old things strewn about, rusty pipes, old nails, you name it. There was probably more junk here than in an old warehouse. However, Aurore wasn't concerned with the debris scattered at his feet, he was more interested in the sobbing coming from the back of the building.
Aurore followed his ears, and soon arrived at a young girl, hiding behind a table, crying her eyes out.
"Hey little one, is anything wrong?" Aurore asked, putting his hand on the girls' shoulder.
"Don' touch me!" The girl exclaimed, spinning around, pushing Aurore away from her. However, this was no ordinary push. She never even made contact with him, but still Aurore went flying into one of the large beams in the abandoned building, hitting it, before falling to the ground.
"Oh… oh god…" The girl said, shaking, rising to her feet. "Ah-Ah'm sorry…"
"Don't worry…" Aurore said, pulling himself off. "It'll take more than that to kill me… but that hurt like hell. So I'd prefer no more long distance flights from you, if you don't mind."
"…" The girl said, nodding. Now, Aurore could get a good look at her. She had brown-red hair, dirty from living on the street, as well as a tattered shirt, which possibly might have been white, but was tanned from exposure, as well as pallid orange shorts, her face dirty with grime but her blue eyes shining through.
"Hello, young lady." Aurore said, smiling. "Nice to meet your acquaintance."
"…" The girl said again.
"…Can't you talk?" Aurore asked, frowning.
"…Ah can talk jus' fine." The girl said, frowning. "What is it yah want from me?"
"Those goons in the alley…" Aurore said, putting on his best politician smile. "You killed them, right?"
"Not me." The girl said, shaking her head.
"But you did." Aurore said. "With your psychic powers."
"Don' got no 'psychic powers' or the like." The girl said angrily. "Now, if you're done, please leave, got it?"
"Still, it's rare to see such power." Aurore said, surprised, not dropping it. "What kind of moemon are you?"
"Ah'm not no goddamn moemon!" The girl shouted angrily, her eyes flashing, a rusty pipe shooting up from the floor beside her, shooting straight at Aurore.
"…" Aurore said, staring at the rusty metal sticking out of his shoulder.
"Oh… ah… ah'm sorry…" The girl said, shaking.
"Don't… gah! Mention it…" Aurore gasped, pulling out the bloody pipe from his shoulder. "Damn, that hurts…"
"Leave now, got it?" The girl said, frowning. "People 'round me have a bad habit o' dyin'."
"Well, that's not a problem." Aurore said, smiling. "See, I don't die very easily."
"Yeah, well, ah don' care 'bout that!" The girl shouted, turning to go.
"Wait…"
"What?" The girl asked, turning her head to Aurore, rusty nails hovering in the air in front of him, creating a suitable divide from the two.
"What's your name?" Aurore asked, frowning.
"…Rin." The girl said, turning away from him. "Mah name's Rin." The girl, Rin, stalked off into the darkness, leaving Aurore surrounded by a net of nails, which soon dropped to the ground harmlessly.
EoS: So, how was that?
Lauren: Is the reason you waited so long because you were afraid of this next arc?
EoS: Yes. Definitely.
