I own my Oc and that's it
Have you ever had one of those nightmares? You're trying to save someone you care about from being hurt, but no matter what you do you can't stop it. But you wake up, you realize it was just a dream and everything's ok right? Well I wish this was a dream. I was trapped in my own mind behind the red fog of all my past aggressions and I couldn't stop myself.
I had tried to attack Impmon first as he is smaller and weaker than Leomon and was relieved when that boy from the train Kouji tackled him out of the way. I wondered why he had come after me and how he had found me as Leomon fought against me dodging my attacks with little time to do anything else.
They were talking I could tell, but the only voice I could hear was my own and Kouji's, though I couldn't tell what he was saying, it was like I was under deep water muffling all sound, but the rage burning throughout me.
"Dark Destroyer!" I shouted as a black ball of energy formed above my muzzle
Thankfully enough Leomon picked up Impmon and ran out of the temple.
'At least they'll be safe from me.' I thought relieved, but Kouji was still here and then he wasn't and in his place stood another wolf larger and bulkier than myself with white and gold armor. He almost looked mechanical or robotic.
"Noriko I know you're in there. I know the confusion and rage you feel, but I'm telling you, you have to fight it!" Kouji's voice deeper and gravelly came from the wolf's mouth
'I don't know if I can.' I thought unable to speak through the haze
"Trust me. You can. You just have to try." Kouji answered my unspoken thought
I hesitantly pushed against the haze and was swept under it quickly crashing around me creating a tsunami bringing with it all the old memories I carried full of my old pains.
[Flashback]
"Look there she is." One girl whispered loudly to her friend
"Where?" Her friend asked back even louder
"Shh that freakish looking girl with the messy hair and dull eyes." The first girl answered
"What's wrong with her?" her friend asked sounding slightly conserned
"She's a freak that's what's wrong always by herself, never talks, never brushes her hair, or even puts on any 's not like us. She really doesn't belong." The first one answered and together the girls laughed not realizing the person that they were talking about could hear them all along
"Hey Freak!" A large boy yelled throwing a rock at Noriko
"What do you want Hiseki?" She asked her voice cold and devoid of emotion
"Why are you even here Freak nobody wants you so why don't you just leave?" Hiseki asked pushing her around
Noriko didn't say anything just tried to leave knowing her sensei would be disappointed if he heard she got into a fight.
"Just leave me be." Noriko said trying to get around Hiseki
"No I don't think I will." Hiseki sneered pushing her into the low wall behind her
Hiseki's friends then started gathering around creating an impenetrable ring around them and they watched as Noriko got the crap beat out of her and they laughed mocking her pain
Noriko was sitting alone, just like always, under the sakura tree in the nearby park. The weather was nice with a soft breeze and the park was peaceful until...
"There's the freak!" One voice rang out
"Let's get her!" Another replied
And suddenly Noriko was up and running from a large group of a mix of boys and girls from her class.
'Why do they hate me so much? What did I ever do to them? Why won't they just leave me alone? Why? Why? Why?' Noriko thought as tears fell slowly down her face
Noriko gasped and panted as she stopped in an alleyway trying to catch her breath. She thought she had maybe lost the kids and that she'd be safe now.
The kids suddenly crowed the entrance to the alley and Noriko took off for the other end only to come to a dead end of a brick wall. She jumped and clawed at the wall desperately trying and failing to climb up and out.
She turned facing the mob of her classmates head on.
"You may have me now, but I'm telling you now you won't break me I won't let you." Noriko said just before they jumped her
[Flashback ends]
Somehow Kouji managed to dodge the attack I had sent at him and it crashed into the wall shattering and disintegrating large pieces of crystal from the wall in a collision of black that flashed to blinding white as it struck.
"Noriko! I don't want to fight you! I don't want to hurt you! You have to fight this! You have to snap out of it! Please!" Kouji called to out to me facing me again
I only growled deep in my chest saliva dripping from my muzzle. My eyes focused on his throat and I lunged, but at the same time he jumped for me and we collided in the air his weight overpowering mine causing me to land roughly on my back with Kouji on top.
We snapped and snarled at each other and while I tried to tear his throat out Kouji was just avoiding my snapping jaws and growling back at me. His paws were placed firmly on my shoulders keeping me pinned beneath him and if I had been in my right mind I might have blushed and told him to get off.
"Noriko." Kouji whispered staring into my eyes "Please, come back."
My eyes met his and this instinctive pull broke threw the haze. It cleared slowly and then all I could see was Kouji's blue eyes staring back at me and I was lost to a whole other power. Suddenly I didn't know why I had been so angry or why I had been fighting. I was suddenly at peace and it was then I realized what I had been doing and together me and Kouji changed back and he held me close to his chest as I cried out all the pain that had been plaguing me and brought back into light.
"I'm sorry Kouji. So sorry." I just muttered over and over
Kouji said nothing in return just held me tighter, pulled me closer, and stroked my hair gently. Silently letting me know that it was ok and that he forgave me.
