"It's nice to have all of you over for once." i said. I sat and enjoyed dinner with my friends. Yonaka. Wadanohara. And yosafire.
"Don't be. At this point. We're basically sisters." Yonaka said with a smile.
"This is really good! I'm glad you took that old man in!" yosafire yelled. Being her energetic self as usual!
"Hey! I'm not that old!" sullivan yelled. Wearing an apron saying "don't cut the cook." it's nice he can laugh at what he's been through.
"...hey minako…if it's alright with you…can you tell us from the beginning of where this started…i know it may be painful but…" wadanohara said.
"Don't worry…the good memories soften the blow of the traumatic ones…so, time for all of you to learn the full story of the knight of darkness. minako tachinowarui…might as well start with my first misadventure in another world…how i met sullivan….in an obsolete dream."
9:00 pm. Minako residence.
"Mid-terms…blegh." i said. It was that week. And honestly i dread it each time. And i have to do more tomorrow. This week is gonna suck. But still i gotta do it. I climbed in my comfy bed. Closed my eyes. And got ready for another day of shitty testing.
"Wakey wakey…" i heard a low male-sounding voice say. I open my eyes to see a well dressed man with purple eyes. But the weirdest thing about him was he had bizarre horns that looked like curled up prongs. At the tips. And black and red wings. "How boring…an armageddon knight bearing the fragment of such a powerful relic is tired and worrying about something so basic…as midterms? How boring. I want some action! I want some violence! Where is it!? Enough of this boring school girl life!" the guy yelled. I couldn't speak. I don't understand why. What is hell is up with this guy though? What is he talking about? Has he been watching me? That is so freaking creepy.
"You just need a little push…in this case. You need to know what it's like to fight for your life! And i know the perfect place! The world i watch over….that should the darkness sleeping within you to wake the hell up! Minako tachinowarui! Welcome to ne-no-kuni!" the guy yelled. I saw soon blinded by a light. And I found myself in some dark city. I walked around…hoping i could find someone who tell me where i was. I walked by a shop. The window gave off my reflection. And i was shocked by what i saw. My hair was it's normal color. But my eyes. They were black where the white used to be…and i had horns. Long black horns. A demon…i'm a demon.
"What's going on? Where the hell am i?" i asked. My freakout session was interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle. It was clearly a girl. Judging from the long maroon hair coming from behind the helmet. And the chest area. She was coming towards me. I jumped out of the way.
"Watch where you're going!" i yelled. However she quickly turned her bike around. She revved her cycle. This isn't some rude biker just driving by not caring who she hits. She was actively trying to run me over!
"Shit! What do i do!?" i yelled. Running wasn't an option. I can't outrun a motorcycle. And there was no place i could hide nearby. I remember what the devil who sent me here said. "Come on. If there really is a power sleeping within me. Come on out! I really need it right now!" i yelled. The biker girl came at me again. And just before the wheels made contact with my house. I blocked it with a sword that appeared in my hand. It was a sword similar to a falchion but in the form of a demon wing. There was a blue eye over the handle. It was a creepy sword. But as long as I can defend myself against this crazy biker chick. It could be soul edge for all i care. I managed to push the motorcycle back. Forcing it to change directions.
"Holy shit! I just blocked a god damn motorcycle!" i yelled. Was that my strength? Or this sword? Don't care. That was awesome. She came around again. As she got close enough. I jumped. And with a quick swing. I decapitated the biker. Sending her body and motorcycle crashing into the ground. I breathed heavily.
"I just killed someone…" i said. My hands shaking…it was self defense. But still.
"You're paying for my bike! Meanie!" I heard someone yell. Turning around. I tried to find out who yelled.
"Who said that?" i asked.
"Down here dummy!" i looked down to see the severed head. "There you go." i couldn't see her mouth move because of the helmet. But i could tell the voice was coming from it.
"What the fuck!?" I yelled.
"What are you wtfing about?" the head asked.
"How are you alive!?" i yelled.
"Because I'm not, dummy! Haven't been for a while. I'm a ghost! I've been for a good long while!" the head yelled. She says she's a ghost. But the crimson getting on my shoes from her remains aren't helping her case.
"If you're a ghost, then why are you bleeding? Ghosts aren't aren't supposed to have flesh and blood." i said.
"...no idea To be honest.." the head said. Well that was an unhelpful.
"Alright then, you mind telling me why you tried to kill me!?" i yelled.
"Kill you? You're not from here are you?" the head asked. I shook my head. "That explains it…you're in ne-no-kuni. Everyone here is basically immortal. Chop them up. Rip out their guts. Eventually their bodies will piece themselves back together. Mine will. Consider this isn't my first time being decapitated. Probably won't be the last either. Name's met by the way." the head said.
"Don't remember asking." i said.
"So who are you? And why are you here?" met asked.
"My name is minako. And i didn't come here by choice. I essentially got dragged her by some curly horned asshole!" i yelled.
"Like the one behind you?" met asked. I turned around to see that it was indeed the asshole who sent me here.
"My my! It seems like you took the first step. You managed to summon your armageddon arm. Looks like i owe that silly ghost a cookie. She got you to the first step." the devil said.
"You're the dick who sent me here! Send me back! I don't want to be in a world of immortal psychopaths!" i yelled.
"The name is satanick little girl. I'm this world's devil. Sending you back to your world would be easy as pie. but where would be the fun in that? You'll have to figure that out yourself. There are spellbooks that can open portals between worlds. All you have to do is to find one. But for you. That's only half the battle. Considering you're not a true demon of ne-no-kuni. You'll have to find a resident that's willing to help you." satanick said.
"And how the hell do i do that!? Who would be willing to help me?" i asked.
"You'll have to find out for yourself sweetie…until then. I'll be watching you. Try to keep it interesting, knight of darkness!" satanick said. Then laughing like a cartoon character as he disappears.
"Fucking hate that guy…best get looking." i said. I left the ghost behind before she could heal and i kept moving…this mission would not be easy. Every demon i met either was quick to tell me to fuck off or tried to slice me to ribbions. "Am i ever gonna find a way out of this back alley of a world?" I asked. I heard someone talking on a phone. I look over and see a demon with black eyes like mine. He looks pretty human minus the horn and eyes. I'm guessing he was talking to his daughter. But it definitely didn't sound like it was a pleasant conversation.
"You're a pest! Stop calling me!" i heard the girl on the other end yell. And apparently she hung up afterwards.
"Ouch." i said. The man started crying while in the fetal position. I approached him. "You alright?" i asked. Only to get a hug from the poor guy.
"My daughter thinks i'm a pest! She hates me! Why olivia!" i let the demon get it out….he's definitely the most human out of every asshole and lunatic I've met. I took a while for him to stop crying. "S-sorry about that…haven't seen you around before. Name's sullivan." sullivan said. Wiping the tears from his eyes.
"I'm minako. Minako tachinowarui. And there's a reason you haven't met me…i'm not from this world…and i really REALLY want to leave! This entire world is a dark back alley in a crime infested city…but to do that. I need a spellbook…and a demon who can read it. Can you do this for me?" i asked. He stood up.
"I can do that…it's nice…being helpful to someone again…i also know where we can find a spell book that contains that spell you need!" sullivan yelled. I smiled. Talk about two birds with one stone.
"Sweet! Lead the way sulli-" i said. Only for a knife to go flying by and almost hitting sullivan. He's got good reflexes
"Long time no see sullivan!" someone behind me yelled. I turn around to see a demon with short orange hair and twirled horns.
"G-gyakuten? What are you doing here!?" sullivan yelled. Clearly he knew this guy.
"Just came to see an old friend." gyakuten said.
"Judging by that axe in your hand. I don't think you're gonna talk over coffee." i said.
"You're right about that missy. You a new friend of sullivan? In that case….you both die." gyakuten said. As he charged at me with an axe. I summoned soul eater and blocked it. And pushed him back. "Not bad missy." he said.
"I fucking hate this place…" i said as i readied my sword. He charged at me. I ducked under his swing. I cut off his legs. And with a few more slashes. Cutting off his arms and head.
"Well this sucks…you didn't have to cut off my arms and head too you know." gyakuten said.
"I did…the more damage you take. The longer it'll take to piece yourself back together. And the more time i'll have to find a spellbook to leave this hellhole." i said. "Take me to the spellbook. Sullivan." i said. He got over the shock of my fight with gyakuten. And he began to walk.
"Damn…i was supposed to pick up chikemuri from school today…chishibuki's not gonna be happy about this." gyakuten said in defeat…well at least he's a good husband and father…doesn't make up for being an axe wielding psychopath. Anyway. As we continued walking. We soon came up to a big mansion.
"Nice place." i said.
"It's where my daughter Olivia lives. She's a very sweet girl." sullivan said with a smile.
"Not from what i heard. When she called you a pest…but I assume the spellbook is in there?" i asked. Sullivan nodded. I sighed. "Let's get this over with." I said. As we approached. A rock came towards sullivan's head. I blocked it with my sword.
"What do you have to say for yourself, dad?" a girl that looked similar to sullivan yelled from a window.
"T-throwing rocks is just cruel! What's the big idea!?" sullivan yelled.
"What do you want? Get lost." the girl i assume is olivia said.
"Okay…staying out of this family drama…sullivan said that he left a spellbook here, can we have it?" i asked.
"Yeah…i have it…not going to give it to you…" olivia said.
"What!? Why!? You hate your dad so much! And i'm pretty sure you're not using it! So why not!" i yelled. A rock came my way. I blocked it.
"Because it's mine…get lost." olivia said…alright, no more nice minako.
"I'm not leaving without that fucking book! So you can give it to me willingly. Or i can kick down your door, bash your face in! And take it! You're call, you vile ungrateful entitled little bitch!" I yelled.
"Get lost get lost get lost!" olivia yelled. As a bunch knifes and furniture came at me. I dodged. Sullivan took the brunt of it.
"Hard way it is then!" i yelled, i went to the front door. And broke it down with a kick. I looked around and saw a bunch of expensive furniture and junk. Considering how awful olivia is to her own dad. And also being an entitled brat. I decided to start smashing stuff. To teach Olivia a lesson. I noticed two girls with dog masks playing a game of othello. They were so busy with it that they didn't even hear the smashing. I girl on the couch woke up.
"What the hell's that noise?...what a disaster area. Did kurotsuno was have a party while i was asleep?" the girl asked.
"Off the couch. It's the next thing i'm gonna smash." i said.
"What the hell are you doing!?" olivia or rather kurotsuno yelled.
"Want to be shitty entitled brat? Then i'll make it cost you!" i yelled. She looked at me with a twitching eye.
"Hi minako!" someone yelled as they entered the room. It was that ghost that tried to run me over. I think her name was met.
"You know her?" the girl that was on the couch asked.
"Yep! She may look like a demon. But she's not from this world. Apparently satanick brought her here because he was bored and thought that having this girl fight to stay alive would be entertaining." met said.
"So that's why you wanted the book…and why you were with my dad. You needed a demon to cast the spell to get back to your world." kurotsuno said.
"Doesn't explain the vandalism…nice job though. You were thorough with your destruction." the girl said with a whistle.
"Don't compliment her hanten!" kurotsuno yelled.
"As for the vandalism…well your friend here was being that one brat at a playground who won't share their toys because it's "theirs" but instead of toys. It's the spellbook I need to get home." i said.
"You're old mans spellbook? You're not using it. And you hate your old man. Something you've repeatedly told all of us. So why not just give them the book?" hanten asked.
"Because it's mine." Kurotsuno said.
"Like i said…brat who doesn't want to share…and i don't have a piece of taffy with super glue. So this will have to do." i said.
"Ha! That was a good episode of family guy!" hanten yelled.
"Stop calling me a brat!" Kurotsuno yelled.
"Don't like to be called that. I've got other things. How about entitled little bitch? Oh most vile and awful daughter! Sullivan's already got it bad enough! And yet you decide to make it worse by treating him as you put it…a pest! He told me that you were a kind girl! But you're anything but! You're not olivia! You're just the empty shell that was once her!" I yelled. Kurotsuno punched me in the face. Giving me a bloody nose. I retaliated by grabbing her horns and kneeing her in the face. Sending her to the ground.
"This…means war!" Kurotsuno yelled. She summoned a black trident. I summoned my sword.
"should we do something?" hanten asked. Met pulled out an electric guitar from now on. And played suffering you by 16 volt. "Not what I meant but…damn, this is my jam" hanten said. Banging her head. Kurotsuno knocked me through the wall. The battle happened across the entire town. Kurotsuno and I are constantly sending each other through buildings. Hitting each other in the faces trying to break through our guards and slice each other up.
Kurotsuno extended her nails and tried to stab me through the heart with them. But i grabbed her hand and kicked her in the stomach. She summoned some creature from her blood. She was losing a lot by this point. I blasted with another weapon at my disposal. A twin barreled sawed off shotgun called "arm of the night." she threw her trident at me. I dodged. But she came at me with a knife. However my sword was faster as i stabbed her. I pulled out my sword and cut her head off.
"Let this be a lesson towards you. You shitty entitled brat." i said. I walked back. Limping all the way.
"Are you alright? What about olivia?" sullivan asked.
"I'll live…and she'll be fine once her head reattaches itself….now could you open a portal now…i want to go home more than anything." i said. Sullivan looked to the ground but then looked at me and nodded. He soon finished chanting the spell the portal opened. I limped to it. But turned around to sullivan. "Sullivan….there's nothing here for you but pain…want to come with me?" I asked. But sullivan shook his head.
"No…my daughter may hate me…but i refuse to abandon her…a father is gotta be there for his children" sullivan said.
"You really are a good father…it's truly a shame that Kurotsuno can't see that." i said with a smile. But i noticed a demon with black hair and sunglasses coming towards us.
"Sullivan. Yagi says it's time to come back to work." the demon with glasses said.
"Tell him i quit!" sullivan yelled as he ran through the portal.
"He changed his mine quickly…this yagi must be a slave driver." i said. The demon with glasses laughed.
"You don't know the half of it . My name is glasses. And i wish to apologize for my dad's action of bringing you here and forcing your power to awaken by trapping you in our world." glasses said.
"You have nothing to apologize for. You can't control your dad. So water under the bridge." i said with a smile.
"Thank you…take care of sullivan, he's a good man, and a hard worker…and don't worry about the damages caused by you and kurotsuno's fight…your not a resident of this world, and from what has told me. She threw the first punch. So everything will be charged on her." glasses said. I laughed. Sweet sweet revenge.
"Your a good man as well…take care." i said as i stepped through the portal.
Meanwhile at the kurotsuno manor…
"Minako….words cannot express how much i hate you…" kurotsuno said as she got the bill for the damage caused because of the fight….needless to say. Kurotsuno won't be having any ocho chocolate for a good long time.
Minako's room. The human world.
I woke up with a jolt…"what a weird dream." i said. I looked at the clock. "It's almost time for school. Guess i should get some breakfast." i said. I smelled something coming from the kitchen. I entered and saw…sullivan. He turned around to me.
"Morning minako. I hope you like bacon and eggs!" sullivan said with a dorky smile…i was just baffled that he was standing here…in my world….that obsolete dream…was no dream!
The end…
"And after that, sullivan got a job in the human world…and the well the rest is history…" i said.
"I was wondering why you two hated each other so much when we met her at the castle…no wonder you two hate each other. Yikes." yonaka said.
"She's only got herself to blame…all of that could have been avoided if she just gave you the frigging book." yosafire said.
"As a witch. I know how valuable spell books are. But it was one that was just gathering dust. I really fail to see her logic." wadanohara said.
"It's the logic of an entitled brat who doesn't want to share…simple as that." i said. The front door opened. A man with green hair with cat ears, well one and half to be precise and a green cat tail entered. He also had a scar on his left would be defect mogeko
"Missy. Sensei. Your friends with yosafire and wadanohara? How? When?" defect mogeko asked.
"We'll get to that mr defect mogeko. Minako just finished telling her story about how she met Kurotsuno and sullivan." yonaka said.
"That's a mogeko!? Why is he so human!?" yosafire yelled.
"It turns out. If a mogeko eats something other than prosciutto for a long time… their bodies mutate into a more human form…" i said.
"Huh…well you learn something new every day." wadanohara said. Utterly baffled.
"Hmm…too bad i missed that part…i've been curious myself about the bad blood between sensei and kurotsuno. But you can tell me later missy...i'm guessing the story of how you met us is next sensei?" defect mogeko asked. I nodded.
"Why does he keep calling you sensei?" yosafire asked.
"We'll find out if we listen yosafire." wadanohara asked.
"Yeah. also this story will also explain why i was so uncomfortable when i was anywhere near a mogeko in your world…this is the story of how i protected my high school junior in a castle of yellow cat creatures…that we're all perverted murderers…this is my fight for survival in the blood and panties soaked walls…of mogeko castle." i said…as I began my next story.
