A/N We reveal some backstory on my OC. A little too early for my liking, but hey! The show must go on! Now, me and DroneDude switched up styles a bit. So no more lines.
Brandon noticed the worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?" he asked, even though he knew he wouldn't get an answer.
"Nothing." she said, walking on.
"Let's see...no home...no food...no water...well fuck." Brandon said, looking around.
"This isn't good." Alice said, starting to panic a little.
"Calm down, i saw an abandoned warehouse were we can stay. Also, i kept my wallet on me when we were sucked through the portal, so i can buy some food." Brandon said, starting towards the warehouse.
"C'mon. It wont be long until dark." he said, jogging towards the destination.
It wasn't long until they reached it. Brandon broke open the lock on the door, and they went in. It was relatively large, maybe 100x50ft, with a 50x50 flat area in the middle. when they finally settled down, Brandon remembered something vital. Food. He stood up and started running towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Alice called after him.
"Food! What do you want?" he called back, opening the front entrance.
"Bring me back a raw steak." she said as he ran out the door.
"Why the hell does she want steak? We don't even have anything to cook it on." Brandon thought to himself as he ran to the convenience store.
After Brandon returned to the warehouse, he set the bag of groceries on the floor.
"What'dya get?" Alice asked in an excited manner.
"Lets see... Bread... Cheese... German Balogna... some chocolate bars..."
"Pfft! Screw those! Where's my steak?" Alice queried before hopping up and searching through the bag. In it she could see: Milk, Mountain Dew, a jug of water, some black-forest ham, swiss cheese, cajun-style turkey meat and...
"STEAK!" Alice roared, ripping the steaking out of the bag. She gingerly took it out of the package and bit the meat hungrily.
"YOU'RE EATING IT RAW?"
"Well, you didn't expect me to cook it, did ya'?"
"Actually, I wasn't sure how you were gonna' eat it..." Brandon then heard a crack as Alice proceded to bite, chew, and swallow some of the bone.
"Seriously though, what the hell are you? You have blood red eyes, super human jaw strength, you lick blood clean off of your hands, and have the ability to see the future. I'm not a particularly paranormal guy, but i know for a fact you aren't human, so spill it already." Brandon demanded, waiting for Alice to finish chewing her steak.
As Alice finished her steak, she turned to look at Brandon.
"Brandon, you're not ready, yet."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means you'll be even more afraid of me than you already are."
Brandon stalked up her and grabbed her shoulders firmly.
"Tell. Me. Now."
"Fine, fine." Alice replied, struggling out of Brandon's strong grip. "I used to be Kishin. I was born like that..."
"How did you turn human?"
"Stein created a formula out of a blood sample he got from me and it turned me human. But it almost killed me."
"Is that why you hate him?"
"No... He killed my father..."
"what? I know he's fucked up in the head, but he wouldn't kill an innocent person though," Brandon said, running through a diagnostic of Stein in his head. "That just isn't like him."
"Like I said... I was born like that. My father was a Kishin as well. My mother lived in a nearby town... he had a deal with that town that every year he would come and take something in exchange for their protection. He raped my mom. A few months after I was born he came back to the town." Alice's eyes were filled with tears. "...The townspeople used me as a bargaining tool and traded me for their protection... my father didn't come back after that... and when I was five he died... despite all he did, I loved him so much..." She was crying by now.
"my god...that's horrible...you poor thing." Brandon said, wrapping his arm around him. "Tell you what. How about when all this is over, I'll show you a proper childhood. How does that sound?"
She'd stopped crying by now, and tried to smile albeit it was forced and broken. "...Thats OK. What's done is done. No point in dwelling on the subject, right?"
Brandon clearly saw she wanted to get over the subject. "yea. What's done is done. How about we get to sleep, it's pretty late." he said,checking his phone. "Wait a second, I have a signal!" he yelled and pulled up his contact list. He immediately tried calling the appartment, but it was an unregistered number. "Dammit." he said to himself, putting the phone away.
"What?" Alice asked,coping her eyes.
"I had signal on my phone, and I figured I might as well see if my phone can jump dimmensions." he explained, sitting down.
"And...?" she asked, waiting for an answer.
"Cell waves cant cross dimensions, I'm afraid, but that would be pretty cool." he joked grinning. He saw Alice grin a little, which made him happy.
"Yup. It's defiantly time for some shut eye." he said lying down on the cold concrete.
"Good night" he called, drifting off into sleep.
The next morning, when Brandon awoke, he had a terrible backache due to sleeping on the floor and his head was pounding. Where was he? Why wasn't he in his apartment with Clair?
Then the events of the previous day came rushing back to him, making his head pound harder. He quickly looked around for Alice. She was asleep, curled up beside of him.
He shook her awake. The ex-kishin was confused, too. Who was this boy, and why wasn't she in Gallows Manor? Then she remember the day before and calmed down.
"Ahh, dammit." he said, rubbing his head. "Remind me to pick up sleeping bags after school today." he then snapped to his senses. "Shit, school!" he yelled, checking his phone. Luckily enough, they woke up with enough time to get ready. "Ok, we're good. We can leave." he said, grabbing his books and started walking towards the door.
"Wait, what about showering?" Alice asked, grabbing her books. Brandon checked his phone.
"We have enough time for showers, but where?" he asked, looking around. Luckily, the warehouse was an abandonded chemical plant, so there was an emergency shower along one of the walls.
"There." he said, pointing. "Make it quick."
"I'm not showering with you in here!" she yelled at him.
"Fine. I'll wait for you outside then." he said, walking out the front door
After each took their showers, which were extremely awkward, they left for school. In fact, they were almost late and had to run. They reached Stein's class a few minutes before the rang, which gave them plenty of time to socialize.
Alice looked around for a few moments before a short boy jumped in front of her.
"Hah! I AM THE GREAT BLACKSTAR! BOW BEFORE YOUR GOD, NOOBS!"
No response. Brandon and Alice just stared at him with blank expressions. "Why aren't you bowing?" The blue-haired ninja asked.
"Blackstar, I think you're scaring them." Spoke the familiar voice of a certain Shinigami. "My deepest apologies for my friend's vulgar behavior." He then got a good look at them. "Y...Y...YOU'RE PERFECTLY SYMMETRICAL!" Brandon was prepared for this response, but Alice hid behind Brandon scarred for her life. In her universe, Kidd was mean and rude and messy.
"It's ok Alice." he said, turning to look at the girl cowarding behind him. "He won't hurt you." Alice slowly creeped out from behind Brandon. She looked at the Shinigami, sizing him up. He didn't seem like the type to hurt someone. But she had to be cautious. If there was one thing she learned in her life it was to trust no-one. Unless she had to.
"I'm guessing from the rumors that you are Kidd?" Brandon said. "And from hearing your obnoxious voice halfway across the school, I'm guessing you're Black*Star." he said monotonously, looking towards the shorter kid.
"Yes! I am the great Black*Star, and some day, I'll surpass God! " he boasted, pointing upward towards the heavens.
"Yea. Good luck with that. I'm Brandon, and this is Alice." Brandon said, gesturing his hand when both names were said.
Alice just stared at Blackstar with a blank expression.
"You will never surpass God. You never have, you never will. The only God here is Kidd and Lord Death. 'God' does not exist." She said. BlackStar gaped at her.
"Excuse her. She's a bit...different." he said, looking back at her.
"Your just jealous, that's all! And it's completely understandable! Every one is jealous of me!" he boasted even more.
"Don't mind him. He has a thick skull." Brandon said to Alice.
"Do you two have partners yet?" Kidd asked, looking at both of them
"I don't, and I probably won't either." Brandon said, shrugging.
"I don't, either. I don't think I can resonate with anyone..."
"Are you a weapon or a meister?"
"Are you a boy or a girl?" BlackStar chuckled. Alice and Kidd shot annoyed glances at him.
"I'm a weapon."
"Really? What kind?" BlackStar asked, now interested.
"Hey, you're already on her bad side. She still keeps secrets from me, so I'm pretty sure she won't tell you much either." Brandon said, stepping in.
"Whatever. If you'll excuse, I have to go surpass God!" he said, walking off.
As he left, Alice took her frying pan and threw it right at BlackStar's head before turning to Brandon and saying, "I'm a sword."
