I'm just going to reply in here to the reviews that I got on the last chapter. The review is: "Ok. Just 1 days and you managed 5 chapters? That's quite a feat. So far so good, but I wonder what made Takara so "casual"? I mean just look at Rin and Yukio! Both of them have their own "mask"! And don't you think that Menphisto appearance in chapter 5 is nonsense? - It would be much logical if he gave them something else!" First off, I'm gonna say that I should've mentioned Takara's mask of fear and sadness and insanity in the first or second chapter or whatever, but here it is. Takara was never quite told how her dad died or even that her dad died at all, she just suspected that her dad died because of how Rin was acting. Her mask of being incredibly sad is that she's happy and tries to make everyone else happy no matter, when others are happy it makes her alive and warm on the inside. Well, I posted this story after I finished the fourth or third chapter in word, I think. Mephisto's appearance and the rest of the teachers appearances in chap. 5 is what happened in the anime, it was kind've random but Mephisto always pops up randomly so I don't know, and a lot of things are about to not make sense so I apologize for that in advance.
The next day Rin, Shima, and I went to the beach to let some steam off and sell food. I stood in the bathroom to put my bikini on, but the stalls were full, so I waited outside the stalls and leaned against the door. One of the people got out of the stall and I walked in, setting my bag on the floor. I opened my bag and threw all of my clothes in, bringing the plain polka dot red bikini out. I put on the bikini and left the bag by the food stand we had going, then sat down by Shima. "Wanna take a swim?" I asked, his eyes just staring at my chest.
"Uh… Huh? What…" He said, looking back up at me.
"Do you wanna go swim for a little bit?" I asked, him blinking innocently.
"I… uh… Yeah?" He said, getting up and walking towards the bright blue ocean.
"Hey Rin?" I said, looking over at the excited Rin who was yelling about his fried squid to some scared little tourist.
He looked back over at me, "Yeah Takara?"
"Can Shima and I go for a quick swim?" I said, pointing towards the waiting Shima.
"Yeah, sure, don't take too long though." He said, looking back at the tourist who was running away.
"Let's go Takara." Shima said, signaling me towards him.
"Okay." I said, smiling and running towards him through the burning sand. The beach here is absolutely beautiful, you know. I looked up at the cloudless sky, the sun glowing down on me. I looked up at the cliffs looming next to us, the strong blue waves lapping harshly against them. The cute little town sitting behind me was full of children and laughter, and it was wonderful and full of pure life. The ocean was bright blue and white at the surf, then the perfect bright blue turquoise coral reef, the dark blue ocean spanning out forever. The hot dry sand burnt my feet under me as I ran towards Shima. I kept running through all of the different types of sand as it got wetter and colder. Shima waited for me right on the shore until I ran to him, his arms scooping me up and carrying me bridal style to the water. I looked up at his bright smiling face, his pink hair sparkling lightly as the water hit it. I wrapped my arms around his neck tighter, my back was touching the water lightly now as he looked at me.
"Want to swim now?" He asked, but before I could answer he threw me into the reflective cold ocean.
My head went under the water, my hair sprawling out in every direction as fish swam around me and touched my legs. My eyes flew open under the water to see a bright vibrant fish right in front of my eyes. The fish turned away and swam around me, the coral and ocean plants were bright and beautiful. They waved around under me as I ran out of breath and resurfaced next to Shima. "It's beautiful down there…" I said, looking at his sparkling brown eyes.
"Not as beautiful as…" He didn't finish and he looked away shyly.
"Not as beautiful as what?" I said, smiling lightly.
"Um… the um… y-you." He said, blushing and hiding underwater.
A smile crept onto my face before I joined him underwater, my hair sprawling up towards the surface. Air bubbles ran through my pristine hair as I let out a small giggle, resurfacing not soon after. Shima looked at me happily then looked behind me, something surfacing not too far from us by the looks of it. "What is it?" I asked, turning around to look at what it was.
"I-I don't know…" He said, taking my hand and trying to tug me back towards shore.
"Wait, I want to see what it is." I said, looking back towards the giant lump coming towards us about only 20 feet away now.
"No, Takara, let's go. This isn't a good idea." He said, tugging me towards the beach once again.
"I don't want to." I said, pushing him away with my hands.
"Rin!" He screamed, pushing his way towards shore.
I kept looking out towards the giant lump, it coming slowly towards now. "What?" I heard Rin yell as Shima got out of the shore.
I could hear them yell off in the distance but I blocked them out and looked at the lump which was very close now. I went underwater and looked at the lump to see it's a giant whale, and its eyes looked right mine. Then I started hearing whispers in my mind that soon formed into words. 'Takara, daughter of Satan.'
I talked back in my mind, somehow still breathing, 'What are you?'
'Ma'am, I am Wadatsumi the great demon whale. The locals have been referring to me as a god for thousands of years.'
'Thousands of years?'
'I have seen many things over the years, but something that will happen soon might be the most catastrophic thing the world has ever seen. This thing will only happen if you stay in the water, you need to leave right now.'
I looked at him with fear, 'What is going to happen if I don't leave the water?'
'You will either die or lose everything you love in a painful experience. You need to leave RIGHT now.'
'I don't know what to do…' I finished, Wadatsumi fading away slowly as I coughed and resurfaced to see the whale had stopped time and that everything was the same. I looked around as Shima and Rin came running towards the water. Rin and Shima tried to step in the water but they couldn't, they kept hitting an invisible wall.
"Takara, come to us now!" They screamed, hitting the wall with their fists.
I tried moving but it was like moving in concrete, "I can't, I'm stuck. What do I do?" I yelled, thrashing my head back and forth and trying to move.
Tears were welling up in Shima's eyes and tears were already running down Rin's face. "Takara, no!" Rin screamed, slamming his fists against the wall harder now.
"Dig Rin!" Shima said, digging in the sand.
Rin started digging and I was still trying to move when I heard an eerie laugh from behind me. I tried to turn my head around but I couldn't. I heard a viscous voice, "Stupid child, stop screaming." The voice snapped and now I couldn't open my mouth at all, it was almost as if it was glued shut.
"Who are you?!" Rin screamed, digging furiously.
"I am Egyn, the demon king of water. Like your big brother, but not." He said, his voice sounding like crashing water in my ears.
"Let her go." Shima yelled, tears streaming down his face.
"What are you going to do? You and her combined are not as strong as me in my home. Unlike whatever the other demon kings want with Rin and her, I think I'm just going to kill her. I was his least favorite after all." The man said, my neck twisting and cracking as the world went blank.
The last thing I saw was Shima mouthing the words, 'I love you.'
