Chapter Twenty Eight: Cafe Troubles
Frost's POV
"Stay FOCUSED! I'm your enemy here!", Milk exclaimed at me, sending a powerful slice to my face with the blade held in her right hand. I took a step back with my right foot, leaning backwards slightly to just watch it pass my face like a stray dark brown bullet, inflicting a smile to form across my face as my little plan worked. Milk hates it when her opponent focuses on something instead of the battle, instantly enraging her. Let's see how reckless she is!
"Don't get yourself charged up!", I stated, lunging up to her, sending a backhanded slice with my blade held tightly in my right hand, aiming for her waist. She jumped back, reeling her right hand far behind her as she pointed her blade right at my chest. I twisted my arm to face me, changing the direction of my blade to point to the right as I dragged it in front of my torso with fluid movement.
"Urusai!", She exclaimed, sending a devastating lung to my chest. I watched it, making haste on my movements. I twisted my body to the right, grinding my blade against hers painfully and noisily before spinning around, catching her off guard very easily. My blade scraped against hers all the way to the tip before leaving it as my body twirled around, generating mass and energy into my blade to inflict more than just a bruise.
"English please! I can't understand you!", I chuckled, watching my blade quickly make its way towards her right thigh before suddenly, from out of the blue, she leapt up into the air and literally avoided my E=M attack like the real Guardian she is. Haha! She fell right for it!
"Stop the match! Milk! You're disqualified for reasons you SHOULD know!", Shard exclaimed right after the whistle was blown at a ridiculously high decibel count, straining my ears as I stared into Milk's widened, furious eyes that stared back into mine. Haha!
"You played me well Frost... But you humiliated me at the same time. Watch out when we get home", She stated from in between her teeth, literally scaring me as my smile suddenly dissipated to a neutral, expressionless look. As much as I wanted to laugh, I had to hold it in. Less I want to die right here right now and become a girl right in front of everyone's eyes! But damn... She isn't usually like this tho... Maybe my plan went a little too well.
"I'll be watching", I said, dropping my arm down to my side as she sighed and walked back within the crowd of students that surrounded us, all watching in pure awe to our brilliance in sword fighting. Haha! Who's next to challenge me?!
I smiled to myself, feeling a cool breeze smack my face softly before I turned around with haste upon hearing four tapping footsteps that I assumed belonged to my new foe... White?!
"Remember the rules", Shard warned as I stared at the beautiful figure of White who stood a good ten meters away from me, holding her dark brown wooden sword in her lone right hand as I did so as well. Our eyes were locked into one another like chains of Divine, giving me the feeling that we were both somehow connected with each other... Her white, long amazing hair fluttered to the right of her like wings that caused my heart to skip a beat and at the same time, warm my blood...
"On your marks! Get set! Go-"... The be rang, cutting Shard out entirely and abruptly as I slumped forwards in disappointment, releasing a sigh along with all my hopes for ever having a good fight against White... Fuck! This happens every single time! "Ok class! You're dismissed! Milk, come with me".
"Wow Frost, I never knew you were capable of handling a sword so well", Lizzo said, taking a sip from her coca cola via a pink straw that hung out of her light blue cup. Me, White and Star decided to all come straight to this cafe straight after school in celebration for a 'special' event happening tonight. I don't have a clue on what it is yet, but I'm convinced that it's someone's birthday.
"He's always been good. Just like the first time we met him", Star chuckled cutely, throwing in a handful of greasy fries into her mouth like the child she is.
"Ahh... That's so cool! You're like a hero", Lizzo stated, making me laugh silently with my mouth shut as White gave me a bright smile from the other side of the table, happily holding her small tub of vanilla ice cream in her left hand as she held a small white plastic spoon in her right. "You even two different eye colours!"... Eh... Did she just notice?
"Mhm! They're amazing, aren't they?", Star giggled with a mouthful of mashed chips that bloated her cheeks cutely. I chuckled in a friendly way, blinking once before looking down at the light brown, wooden table that we all sat at in this cafe. We sat on top of wooden, light brown benches with unique golden trimming designs and a red, comfortable cushion on top of the wood. There were about another fifteen other tables like these. Behind us, in front of us and to the left of us. However, to the right was a large, crystal clear windowpane that glowed and shone many light colours of the rainbow, really soothing my soul.
I looked back up, staring directly in front of me to see the beautiful face of White's staring down at her tasty dessert, taking spoonfuls of the creamy white vanilla and dumping it into her delicate mouth like it was her first time eating one. Haha! She's so adorable! Man, I should've brought Ruby along with us... Actually, maybe not... I'd hate my five second little sister to see an eleven year old call me her 'daddy'. The first thing I bet anyone would call me would be a pervert...
"Hey... What kind of a relationship do you have with White?", Lizzo asked me from out of the blue from my right, instantly causing my eyes to widen a tenfold in pure embarrassment and shock as both mine and White's faces turned a horribly deep shade of red...
"W...what are you saying?", White said as we both averted our eyes away from each other. Mine darting off to the right, staring down at the red gap between me and Lizzo. "We're not in any kind of relationship".
"Eh? But your face says it all", Star said. I looked out the mirror, straight pass my sister's face as she blankly stared at me with a small smile plastered across her innocent, adorable face.
"Stop Star", White said under the influence of embarrassment.
"Sorry I asked", Lizzo apologised and at the same time, I caught a glimpse of the reflection if the entire cafe... There were three strange men in full black clothing who walked right through the door... They feel suspicious... We better not let our guard down.
"Mommy! I was that one!", A child exclaimed cheerfully in joy, making me smile warmly as my face returned back to it's usual colour. I blinked, turning around to see a woman in her mid twenties walking up to her daughter who looked around five years old.
"It's alright. No harm done", White said STILL under the influence of embarrassment as I changed my focus point onto the men who were slowly making their way towards our table, instantly making me grit my teeth the moment they slipped their hands into their black trench coat's pockets... What do they want?... Maybe I'm being a little to paranoid... They're probably going to pass by- they all slowly pull out a small, silver handgun modelled exactly as the M1911 but with a black, long silencer equipped. You have got to be kidding me! Dammit, if I try to attack now, then it'll be hell and people will get hurt... And our identities will be exposed nation-wide to the Humans!
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Frost Richtofen", The first one said, grabbing everyone who sat on our table's attention, instantly causing Lizzo to gasp in shock as White gently placed down her small cup of ice cream, the white spoon sticking out like a dagger... They know my name as well... Dammit. I can't even see their faces because of the black shades, hoodie and bandanna covering it.
"How can we help you?", Star asked in a low, friendly tone of voice as I stared into the one that stood before me in the eye, trying to make out at least the smallest bit of detail about him.
"Don't involve yourself in this matter, Light Heart. This is a matter between us and Frost", He stated, holding the gun right in front of me as the barrel was an INCH away from my forehead, instantly giving me the disturbing chills that usually comes before I go insane... But too bad I can't go insane anymore.
"What do you want?", I sneered.
"Black Melody", He simply said, causing my eyes to widen in pure shock and horror to what he had just said, instantly making me grit my teeth as I purposefully smashed my head onto the tip of his gun unexpectedly, standing up from the seat as I reached into my pants for my pistol with my right hand. He stumbled backwards, colliding into the other two as the innocent people who dinned here all stopped and gasped, staring at the three armed men in pure shock and terror. No one dared to scream, less they wanted a bullet straight for their cranium! My fingers wrapped themselves around the handle of my handgun, making me grit my teeth twice as hard as I flicked it out like a flip knife, sending a punch to the man's gut with my left hand before pointing the gun straight for his head. He grunted and recoiled back along with his other two butt-buddies, all three furious at me as they held their guns straight towards me like raging animals armed with weapons.
"Call the police!", I yelled out at the top of my lungs, not moving my eye an inch from these three as I applied very little pressure on the black carbon fibre trigger of my handgun that had the same model of the FN Five-Seven handgun. An appropriate choice when handling idiots like these. What are they going to get by turning me into a girl?! Perverts! Not even I have those kind of thoughts!... Well, most of the time!
"Put your gun down or else we'll shoot!", The man to the left warned
me in a daring, forceful tone of voice that made me cringe to how much I hated it. I wouldn't mind putting holes into every single one of their fucking heads right now!
"Never. Tell me why you want me as Black?", Was my reply.
"Because we have special delivery for you. And it's impossible to give it to you in THAT form!", The one in the middle exclaimed, causing me to blankly blink and lower my gun slightly in pure confusion... Delivery?
"From who?", I asked.
"Your parents!"... What? They're fucking with me! There's no way!
"Don't pull my strings!".
"We ain't lying kiddo! This is from your PARENTS! You know, the man with the grey hair and the big ass sword and the woman with the red hair and a giant two handed blade?", The one on the right said... That definiently describes them all too well... Then what the fuck are the guns for?! And how ARE we going to fix this problem?! People are staring at us like mad men right now and the cops are probably on their way with tear gas equipped!
"What's the delivery and WHY can't I take it in this form?", I asked, still holding my gun as tightly as ever, ready to pull it back up and shoot them each point blank in between the eyes.
"No idea", They simply said...
"Then why do you have guns?", I asked painfully in a sneer.
"To shoot you with a special liquid that will turn you into Black Melody! Star gave these to us by the way", The one to the left stated, causing my eyes to widen not only because this was all. Star's plan from the beginning, but because my SISTER is watching from right behind me and hearing EVERYTHING we say!
"Star, how could you do something like this in public?", White asked Star in an innocent tone of voice, not wanting to provoke the three men who could at any moment pull the trigger and turn me into a girl... Not something I want!
"Cause there's no other place to do it. After here we're heading straight home", she explained in simple detail... Argh! That's it?! That's her excuse?! Dammit... I'm going to dislocate her right arm RIGHT NOW!
"Star", I exclaimed in an eruption of anger, quickly spinning around to face her as I held my hand gun straight towards her, watching her eyes slowly widen as time seemed to slow down in my favour... My heart beat echoed in my mind, acting as my timer as I aimed the iron sight of my handgun onto her right shoulder, smiling very slightly as everyone on the table stared at me with gapped mouths... Dammit! I'm hesitating! Argh! Fuck this! There's no way that I'm turning into a girl again! I shot, curving my gun slightly to the right he moment the bullet was a third out of the barrel, changing the course of it's travel dramatically. As I watched it just graze her shoulder painfully and shatter the glass windowpane from behind her, three silent shots were fired from right behind me accompanied with the screams of panic via the people around. I spun around as fast as possible, watching their light green, liquid-filled bullets hurdle straight towards my chest...
"Frost?!", Lizzo screamed in horror the moment the three bullets penetrated my chest like a hot knife through butter, causing me to grunt in pain as I collapsed down onto the chair beside her, feeling my insides twist and turn like I was being devoured internally. Blood rose from my throat and splattered out of my mouth, drenching my chin and neck in my dark crimsons of life as my lungs ceased working... But I didn't.
"Hey! We could've done it the easy way you know Frost!", Star exclaimed, holding out a knife in front of my face, making me cringe and grit my teeth, refusing to accept my fate. There's no way that I want to become a girl again!... Dammit! I'm loosing consciousness!... Come on! I can still fight!...
"Frost?! Frost?! Don't die! You didn't have to kill him!", Lizzo screamed out in pure terror at the top of her lungs as my eyes suddenly blacked out... Every. Single. Time... These events NEVER stop happening! If I go to a cafe, there HAS to be a problem. The shopping centre, there's a madman who wanted to to rape me and even at HOME people want to harass me just to see me beg and cry! Argh...
"Calm down Lizzo. He's not dead... Well, er... She's not dead", A voice very similar to Melody's sighed in front of me... Don't fucking tell me...
"What's going on to him?! How could you!".
"Sheesh... I guess your not human since Star's memory erase spell hasn't effected you...", Melody sighed warmly... Star's one hell of. Strategist I'll give her that, but the most disrespectful person I've ever seen in my entire life!... argh... I'm so sleepy...
Black's POV
I can't even get used to all these magic-like things that keep on happening everywhere I go. A normal life is impossible for me no matter how I look at it... But that's not the case right now... Haha! Not even close to the real case! Not only was I moved to another room via 'orders' from Drago, but now I have an oversized egg sitting in the corner of my new room!
I brushed my teeth thoroughly as I stared into my own reflections through a head-levelled mirror, staring at the white foam that covered my mouth with a burning sensation. What were they thinking? Turning me into a girl again just for their own pleasure... They need to think about how I feel...
I spat out the minty contents into the white, marble sink in front of me, slowly opening the taps to allow a gush of fresh, cool water to rush out from the silver tube. I sighed, washing my light blue toothbrush thoroughly before placing it to the side, then pouring a handful of water into my mouth to rinse. Spitting it out messily into the gutter of the sink point blank, I reeled my head backwards, taking a step back as I stared at myself in the mirror with a straight face, wondering what was it that makes everyone so fond of me... My face? Hair? Eye? My near-flat chest? my body shape? Gah! What is it?!
I blinked slowly, erecting myself up before turning to the right, walking towards the door in a sluggish manner as I held out my right hand, ready to unlock the door. Upon grasping it's smooth, cool surface, I twisted it to the right and pushed it opened to be greeted with the bright light of my own, private room that was literally identical to Mindy's one... Well, except for the egg that sat on the small wooden table to the right of the bed. But that's the least of my problems...
How on earth am I going to explain this to Lizzo?! Thank goodness that White managed to convince her that it was all just a play and that we're all 'normal'... However, nothing can explain HOW I turned into a girl! Argh! I need to stop thinking too much and just hit the hay already!
I power walked up to the edge of the light blue with a small frown across my white, delicate face before collapsing onto it face first, burying my vision into complete darkness. The bed squeaked cans moaned to the sudden addition of weight which acted as my short lullaby...
"Good night", I moaned to myself as I allowed my mind to rest at ease...
White's POV
My head tilted to the right very slightly as I stared into Shine's orangy-sunset eyes that held nothing but seriousness. Her long, golden hair floated in the large bathtub of the MASSIVE bathroom that both we and a few others sat in to clean ourselves from today's dirt. My long, white hair collapsed onto my shoulders and over my chest as I held a handful of strands in between my fingers to wash with the bath water. Shine blinked, shook her head and sighed before saying something.
"How's Black doing?", She asked me, looking off to the right at the others through the warm mist with a small frown plastered across her face. This caught me by surprise, making me jolt a bit in the water which caused it to splash very slightly and cause many ripples to form in the calm water.
"She's doing well", Was my reply.
"That's good... Has she gone insane yet?", She asked, instantly sending a terribly chill down my spine to that word... Insanity...
"No... She wouldn't go insane unless something bad happens".
"Like what?".
"Like... Someone she love's life is in danger. I bet she'll go all out just to save them"...
"Ehhh... Is that right...", She said, turning back to face me with an intimidating grin that wielded RAZOR sharp teeth and some red colouring on the tips of it, causing my heart to skip a beat as I trembled in pure utter fear... "What about you? What makes YOU go insane?"... I'm getting out of here!
