Drift five~ Because of you

In the city of mirwi, a central city of trade for all over earth to mars. A tall mostly glass decorated skyscraper stood at the center of this magnificent technological achievement. The black shaded glass made the insides of the tower seem as though it was always night, the perfect atmosphere for any lover of the darkness and a typical headquarters for the black crusaders. This city was famous for its close link to mars mainly due to its craft launcher that makes use of electrically charged magnets to repel spacecrafts with so much force that they’ll reach the galactic space station in between the two planets. And from there the space station will launch the craft to mars. In return the process is repeated in mars as well and goods are transported to earth. As the earth rotates around the sun and is constantly spinning on its own axis, goods can only be transported over a certain period of time in one year. After the comfort zone, any goods launched would most likely not be able to reach mars.

In the enormous male bathroom of the famous black tower, three fellow black crusader members stood in attention in front of their commander. A rumored ruthless man with no hesitation to kill or fire anyone, rumored just to make people fear him when in fact...he was just a stand in for the real commander. He was a middle-aged man, kind of short compared to his colleagues and had a distinguishing bushy moustache under his black sunglasses. He was sitting comfortably behind his nicely placed desk in the bathroom before all of a sudden standing up and shouting towards the crusaders. "Are you telling me that even with two jets and an fully upgraded EVO unit, that one insignificant VIPER got away from you three?"

"Well technically, our EVO hasn't been fine tune yet...and come on! How do you expect us to catch something that was able to vanish into thin air!" one of them stepped up to defend them. His hair long and smooth covered his frustrated eyes from the disappointed commander. "You lost the runaway Krion... Am I right?" the commander asked once more. Not being able to deny the truth, Krion could only nod silently for his response. "Well then you three shall face the punishment." The commander ordered as he took out three plungers from behind him. "But sir!" the three protested but their pleas were unheard and they were still handed the plungers. "No buts! You three failed and now you have to face the consequences and plunge down the waste in those toilet bowls."

Knowing that there was no way out, the three took hold of their plungers and began their work. Each desperately working hard to dispose of the disgusting waste in the toilet bowls. "Sheesh! What kind of punishment is this anyway? For goodness sake why can't we hire a plumber to fix these cubicles?" the female of the three complained as she pushed the flush button only to have the water splashing upwards, almost hitting her.

"Well our organization isn't exactly funded by charity you know? Besides this serves as a very morale boosting punishment. Wouldn't you say?" The commander explained as he busily looked through the paperwork on his desk. There was no reply for a moment. "There's another thing I don't get sir, why are you here?" a dashing purple haired crusader asked curiously.

"Well Teris as you know my office is under renovations, and well I needed a place to continue my work...so here I am."

Just as the commander finished his explanation, Krion heard from the opposite cubicle, "Now, now Rika he's not gay...I'm sure he has his reason." Teris seemed to be talking to himself again...or perhaps someone else? Krion had caught his colleague talking to this Rika person for more then one occasion, and each time there was no one there. Krion couldn't be sure if he was insane or perhaps Rika was his split personality. Well whoever she or he was, that comment made Krion chuckled. Before asking the commander, "Why here then?"

"Well it's the only place that isn't hooked up with a spy camera, and well...it's convenient for me as well. Now...if you'll excuse me, I have other business to attend to." As the commander finished his last explanation, he made his way to the nearest cubicle and well...did his business. A moment later, a very disturbed "Ewww!" was shouted.

Three hours later the three were finally done with their work and decided that it was time to take a break by going out for some fresh air. On their way out, they witness a young man shouting desperately to the lady working at the information counter. "She's been taken away by force! Don't tell me you so called crusaders of justice are just going to sit by and do nothing?"

"I'm sorry sir but without confirmation that the culprit is in the old castle, we cannot just launch our people. Its been forbidden that no one is allowed in there without authorization." The lady pleaded as she tried to calm the man down.

"What crap is that? You people are just trying to get out of going after that angel! Don't you see how urgent the situation is? He kidnapped her and escaped into the castle! If we don't go after them soon...she may forever be lost from me! I...I can't let that happen!"

At that moment, from those desperate heart felt words of the young man...Krion could help it but sympathized with him.

"Recently there had been numerous reports of angels kidnapping teenage girls. I suspect...it was the same case with her." A younger Teris preached the young teen as he placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. The two were standing solemnly, close to the edges of a cliff where the teenager’s lover was supposed to wait. Yes...he was late, but she wasn't at home...or at the possible places. It was the only answer left.

"Helpless."

"What?"

"I couldn't do anything to prevent this...and so I deem myself helpless."

"Oh forget it! I'm going there myself!" the young man snapped as he began storming out of the building. But just as he was supposed to leave, Krion got hold of his shoulder and told the man to follow him. Teris could immediately see where the troubled ones where heading by the direction Krion was running to. His partner worried for the two, stepped up and asked, "Would it be okay to let them go just like that?"

"We wouldn't be able to stop them anyway. When it comes to the matters of the heart...one would even go to the ends of the world if he must."

In a matter of moments, the two were riding out of the hanger on Krion's own custom upgraded motorcycle. It had large side skirts, and a slick black design shape with an armored head to knock down obstacles ahead. The old castle they were going to was actually part of a museum. There, contained many artifacts of the past. Stuff that where made before the world was plunging into darkness, before mars and earth made contact, the place where many legends of the worlds came from. Therefore this historical site had become more or less a forbidden area where no one was supposed to trespass unless given permission and escorted in. However if you look at it in a criminal sort of way, if you could get in...it would become an excellent hideout. As the two were nearing the castle, Krion noticed that there were only two guards in their way in order to get across the bridge that would let them straight into the castle’s doors. "Hold on tight!" Krion suggested as he placed the full throttle on his cycle, causing them to dash forward while accelerating quickly. The guards were caught by surprise as the cycle forcefully broke through their gates and headed towards the run downed castle. The guards gave chase at first but as soon as the cycle was in the castle walls and the two trespassers were escaping through the first corridors, the guards no longer dared to continue onwards. Krion and the young man then quickly got off the cycle and began their search through the rooms of old relics.

"He's some where here...I just know it!" The young man assured himself as they walked by ancient relics ranging from paintings of angels and devils, to armors, swords and even old scrolls written in a language that no one thus far had been able to decipher. They were all impressive looking, and oddly didn't bear any smell whatsoever. "What's your name?" Krion asked as they proceeded through another door and into another room. "It's Aaron." the man replied as he took a good look of the next room. It was pretty much empty except for the human size statue of a hooded reaper with black angel wings extending outwards from its back. "Nice..." Krion commented as they went closer to take a better look. However just as Krion was about to place a hand on the art piece, a loud crashing sound could be heard from the room opposite them. "He's there!" the young man cried out but was stopped from rushing to the room by Krion's extended free arm. "I know..." Krion explained as they slowly approached the old wooden door. When it was opened, they could clearly see the angel looking for something in a messy scroll cupboard. He had yellowish short hair and was pretty much half naked so that he could extend his wings. The lady they were looking for was lying on the floor peacefully. She seemed to be soundly asleep, other then that she looked perfectly fine. "Give her back to me!" the young man shouted all of a sudden, startling the angel. Gracefully he turned back to take a look at the ones who had disturbed his search.

"Ah...you came...surprisingly. I thought all humans were cowards only worrying about themselves." he recognized and mocked. Unable to stand the angel's words, Krion ordered the angel, "Return her!"

"That...I'm afraid I cannot do." The angel finally answered as with a wave of his hand, he sent the two flying back into the other room with an invisible force that shut the door as they flew. Landing almost on the other side of the room, Krion quickly got back up angrily and began charging back towards the previous room. However a giant scythe swinging downwards harshly stopped him in his steps. Turning to the direction of the scythe, Krion saw the incredibly crafted statue slowly gaining life. Soon the reaper was alive and breathing heavily. Its hood covering any sight of its face as it fell onto the floor. Crawling a few steps before trying to stand up, the reaper took a deep breath and gave out a terrifying roar. Aaron was shocked beyond believe by the sight and took a few steps backwards till he found himself backed up onto a wall. Trying his best to keep his distance from the creature.

"Now this...is impressive." Krion commented excitedly as he drew his custom twin swords from under his coat. The reaper's eyes glowed brightly upon Krion's words and it gave a mighty swing of his weapon at its admirer. Krion blocked the swing, but the impact sent him flying into a wall. Swiftly Krion twisted his body to land horizontally on his legs and then repelling himself back by kicking the very same wall. The reaper's movement was too slow to react and Krion sliced off one of its arms to reduce his fall back onto the floor. The reaper in response swung its scythe at Krion again instead of screaming in pain. Stunned by the unexpected events, Krion found himself almost being stabbed by the weapon's blade if not for the creature's lousy aim. However he was still knocked back by the handle and accidentally tripped and fell. The reaper giving no time for Krion to recover continued its vicious attack with another swing downwards. In the nick of time, Krion was luckily able to block the incoming attack. The impact caused his entire body to sink further into the ground as he cried out in frustration, "I'm not...I'm definitely not going to let such a thing end me!" Using every last ounce of strength left in him he slowly lifted the scythe upwards with his crossed swords and began slowly getting back up onto his feet. "Not you, not him. Not even that annoying angel!" Krion shouted as he slanted his body to one side while allowing the scythe to swing down, nicely missing him. And with a few light-footed steps, Krion made a spin and slashed off the reaper's other arm. This time the creature growled in frustration, as it took a few steps backwards before all of a sudden returning back to its original form...an inanimate object. "Awe...awesome..." Aaron exclaimed as he approached the panting, worn out teenager.

"No...I'm still not strong enough." Krion disagreed as he tried to catch his breath while barely standing up. "But still...why did you fought so hard to help me?" Aaron couldn't help but ask when he saw Krion dragging himself towards the wooden door. Krion decided not to answer, as he opened it and found that the room was now missing of an angel and a lady, he couldn't help but collapse...he had lost another lead...there was no longer a reason to go on with their search.

Where am I?
You're awake.
I'm awake?

You know...perhaps...you weren't meant to save anyone...perhaps the only person you should be saving...is yourself.

Myself huh?
Do I need saving?
Yes...desperately.
Then my reason to go on stays the same...
Why?
Only she could save me...my heart...will accept no one else.

Haha...

"I see...so that's why he fought so desperately...something similar happened to him as well..." Aaron said to himself while standing at a corner of the medic room. Right after Krion had fainted, his fellow black crusaders ironically arrived and brought him to their own medic room in the black tower. The very same lady that was serving punishment with Krion before was now at his bedside. Whispering into his ear, and oddly the worn out teenager was whispering back. Soon they were done and the lady was just about to leave, when the observing young man asked, "Is he going to be alright?"

"Yeah...he just need some rest." The lady replied as she turned the doorknob, but stopped when she realized that there was more that needed to be asked. "So...what are you going to do now?"

"I'm not too sure as well..."

"Well what ever choice you make...I hope you choose wisely. There are the things that we want to do...but then again, those things may not be the things that we can do."

"I understand...but I wonder what choice would Krion's one be then?"

"Did you need to ask? Obviously one of a very stubborn fool."

Okay, technically one year have past since everything that had happened in the previous chapters. And you can more or less take this as the first chapter of Krion's story. I think. XP

Zuru four~ Her, just her

Logic. Emotions. Which would you follow? Most times...though you try desperately...logic is your only option. Unless...you're willing to give up everything else...emotions are just the hinders of life. A young man once had a choice. To follow his heart, or forget about it all...take it, as she never existed. And, he made a choice.

That very same young man, wearing a black long sleeve coat with matching jeans slowly got out of his car. His hair was now considerably long, and his clothing was that resembles the mark of black crusaders. An organization formed to protect the world from devils, angels and even humans. They are there to maintain the fragile balance and peace of the world. However most of the time, their tactics and ways are most cruel...and so their dress code was always to wear something black, to signify their impure dealings and job. As a top-notch organization with funding from all over the world, they had access to almost every single kind of weapon imaginable...but most are kept confidential and considered a secret to be protected. With so much power in one organization, the leader of it could just as easily take over the earth then protecting it. However their leader to almost every member was so called unknown...not even a name...it was though to give them the impression that he didn't exist. But they knew he was there...more or less they were sure of it. It was said that they recruited members based on their abilities or so-called higher-level humans...each had a choice to join in order to protect their world. This young man however joined for a different reason.

"Hey Krion wait up!" the young man's partner said as he too got out of the car, his partner had already gone ahead to the burning childcare center. The center was two stories tall and was joined together with other shops like a terrace home. In front of it was a small park with an included playground, making the center the perfect location for a childcare. Krion firstly approached a young lady carrying a boy not older then three and asked, "Where is he?" The lady, frightened and confused replied in a shaky manner while pointing up to the second story, "Upp...up th'ere." Knowing where the objective was, he charged up to the burning building and knocked down the wooden door. "What about the fire? Aren't you going to wait for the firemen?" his worried partner asked. "No need to." Was Krion's reply as he braved through the heat to the second floor. It was one of those cases...where a demon awakens due to a moment of anger, or at times sorrow. When it happens...often it isn't a pretty sight, their behavior becomes berserk and they start killing or destroying. Most cases of such awakenings only happen for young little kids. When their powers had not fully developed. However that doesn't mean there hadn't been ones where they awaken with truly frightening consequences. Fortunately for him, he had never witness one before. His objective today as anyone would have guessed it by now, was a young child devil who had awaken. The fire raging around him now was most probably the child's doing.

Every devil was said to have some kind of special ability, may it be a powerful one or a weak one. Even if the ability was as small as having the ability of perfect sight and never to have a need for glasses. It was in their genes to have one. As Krion leaped over a broken stairway burnt by the flames, his coat got hooked onto a broken piece of wood, fire was quickly spreading onto it and he could pretty much guess already... This child's ability...was a sure damn annoying one! He quickly took off his coat and began running down the hallway to the estimated room the lady had previously pointed to. When he reached there, the doorknob was already glowing red, acting from instinct he took a moment to gather his strength from exhaustion before kicking down the door. Inside, the room was burning as though it was part of hell. Every piece of furniture had been burnt down or otherwise already halfway there. A young boy with smooth black hair, pointy ears and torn clothes was standing at the center of the inferno room. His head was looking down while mumbling something to himself. "Don't you think you have done enough? Stop the burning already!" Krion shouted to the child. The boy lifted up his head when he heard the stranger's voice, his eyes glowing crimson red as he replied back strongly, "No! They...they called me a demon! They said my black hair was probably caused of my burning power. Like ashes..." Yes...this was the world they lived in. With three different beings on the two worlds, such situations were common. Angels however normally would never be condemned this way. Instead they would be thought of as a blessing from the heavens...devils unfortunately...were seen as beings of evil. When in actual fact...when taking away their powers, all three were the same. It was their actions that really count. And this act of burning...would have probably scared away any friends the boy previously had.

Turning on the link between his voice transmission device on his wrist and his partner's, Krion tried his best not only to save the child from himself as well as to regain back the trust of those he knew.
"Come on kid...they were wrong! So what if you turn out to be a demon? So what if you have the ability to burn stuff? Isn't it great? To have special powers just like those in the comic books! Look... Don't tell me you truly want to burn down this place? Are the flames you conjure meant only for destruction?" The child gave a confused response, "Huh?" during the last part of Krion's speech. Scratching his head, Krion revised his last part a bit before saying, "Okay...let me put it this way...is your power only to be use to hurt people? To destroy toys? Are you evil?"

"No..." the child mumbled softly at first. Krion wasn't satisfied. "Louder." He ordered. "No." the child said. Still unsatisfied, Krion shouted to him. "Louder!"

In response a loud scream of the word 'no' soon echoed around them as the flames in the building quickly extinguished and the boy returned back to his human form. Krion made a smirk before speaking into the device he had previously turned on. "You heard him. I believe his flames won't harm anyone anymore. And to all the little kids out there, don't worry...no more toys are going to be burnt."

Krion carried the boy out of the building, and placed him among the children. Many of them then pleaded to have a piggyback ride as well. Soon Krion found himself surrounded by kids that were trying desperately to jump onto him. Krion tried to disperse them gently at first, but his smile to them was all to inviting. However...all of a sudden, that changed as Krion remembered his reason of joining this organization.

Two young teenagers were taking a relaxing walk in the park. The trees around them carried very green leafs, and were blooming with life together with the white flowers surrounding the sidewalks. The tranquility of the place provided one of the quietest and most peaceful areas in town. A lovely place for any couple to go on a date... Suddenly, one of them asked a very awkward question.
"Hey Krion...if we ever had kids...what would you name them?"
Blushing slightly, Krion took a moment to think before answering. "Hah...I have no idea...What would you name them?"
The teenage girl gave him a sly smile before answering, "Hehe...to be honest I don't really care...I just want to have them with you!"

"Heh...you'll have to be my wife first before that." Krion commented as he walked a little faster. The teenage girl smiled before catching up with Krion and giving him a hug from behind.

"Exactly."


Krion's smile changed to a frown and he shouted fiercely to the children, "Enough!" The children shocked and scared soon began to cry around him. But it didn't seem to move him, Krion instead just made a leap over them and slowly proceeded to his car. His partner followed closely behind, curious about the matter he gave Krion a tap on his shoulder. "What do you want?" came a cold harsh reply for him. "Well...it's just that you seem happy with the children at first, but then all of a sudden you became...well...like now...what happened?" his worried partner asked.

Without returning back his answer, Krion got into the car quickly, and locked the doors. Leaving his partner and his annoying questions outside of the car...but the knocking sounds on the door could still be heard and so to but an end to it... Krion just simply drove away.

About a year ago when his smiles were still often...someone took her away from him. According to one of the commanding officers in the organization, recently young girls like her were being kidnapped for some reason. The kidnappers were also said to be extraordinary beings, and so in order to find those responsible...and to find her again. The best option was to join this organization...the "Black Crusaders."

During his wait for the traffic light to turn green on a junction, the car's voice transceiver reported to him. "Paging unit X-09 EVO, a red S-R5 VIPER is on the run. Do you copy? Your objective, capture the driver and bring him back for questioning." All of a sudden, a red car dashed past by Krion's. Grabbing the answering phone he gave a short report back to the headquarters. "On it." Before dashing forward with his EVO, ignoring the red traffic light just as the run away did. Soon he picked up enough speed to shift his car into high gear, and quickly caught up with the VIPER. The driver from that car seemed to take notice and began trying to shake Krion off by entering a very sharp turn to the left. Krion followed suit the best he could with the turn, lowering his speed...his car drifted a good amount of distance and nearly crashed into another car before Krion shifted the gears back up and continued his pursuit onwards. However the road onwards wasn't as favorable as he had hoped for. It was winding with many curves and hairpins for a good amount of distance, the kind of road that his car could not perform well with. For the VIPER unit however, it was designed for such roads...and so its name. Whoever the driver was, he knew his cars well enough to put a black crusader on the disadvantage...

As Krion saw how well the driver pulled off the change of directions of drifts in a snake like pattern, he made another assumption. The runaway...was no amateur when it came to driving as well. Having a hard time pulling off the drifts with his car, Krion found himself often scratching car or bumping into something. However his car with its wide body kits and advance engine modifications was designed to take such damage and still maintain its speed. Still...he found himself slowly lagging behind, at this rate he was going to lose his runaway. Soon the road came back upon a straight path, and Krion let out a sign of relief as his car began closing in on the runaway again. They were soon nearing another junction on the road, but this time ahead of them were speeding vehicles dashing in another direction. "Is he trying to play chicken?" Krion asked himself while the two cars were soon heading into collision course. Lowering his speed, Krion allowed the runaway to go first thinking that the driver was sure to stop. To his surprise, the VIPER maintained its speed and was heading straight into the heavy traffic. Riskily the car dashed past numerous vehicles of its kind and more. Even pulling off a stunt as extreme as going under an oil tanker and coming out in one piece. Knowing his limits, Krion immediately pushed the breaks before entering the traffic lane. Breaking just in time before damaging anymore of his car. Letting the runaway...run away. Taking out the answering phone, he began paging their headquarters. "Paging black tower, this is unit X-09 EVO. The runaway...has escaped. I repeat. The EVO is unable to continue pursing it."

Almost immediately as soon as Krion finished what he had to report, two black jets fly past by him...and his transceiver device answered his call. "This is unit W-39 Blackwings. We acknowledge your failure and we'll take it from here."

Recognizing the voice and the choices of words the reply had, Krion quickly realized who was mocking him. "Well you better get him! Or it'll be my turn to mock you next Teris!" Krion shouted into the answering phone

"Copy that...you can be sure you won't get the chance."

'Heh, is everyone trying to get on my nerves today?' Krion wondered before getting his car back started and driving back to the childcare center...his partner was probably still waiting for him to get back. And if he was to get into trouble for not catching the runaway...at least if he went back for him, perhaps his partner wouldn't mention leaving him there to their commander. And as an added bonus, he wouldn't be scolded at alone.

She was his choice, his reasons for everything. May it be why he was annoyed, to even why his eyes just couldn't hold back his tears at times...she was, and is his only reason. Even to go on...and so he chose not to let go...

Okays, okays...a number of reason why it took so long to write a chapter for me. Number one. Went for chalet, four days of play. XD Haha actually it's not a very good excuse...I play everyday. XD Number two. I wanted every chapter to be at least 2k of words long. Number three. I wrote a different chapter, but it's in the wrong timeline of the second. So now I'm pretty much figuring what to do next... Wrote a Ledius part for no particular reason. And on to life I suppose...pretty much lazying away, smashing buttons on my ps2...watching anime, and well...living life. Not sure what to do this holiday...so I'm taking a day at a time. Staying away from any work...even from training a character in a game. Guess I'm just sick of working so hard during the exams that I can't stand going through anymore...gonna start my homework during december...for now...I'm just gunna life as I want to. Now on to relationships, well its going well between me and my dear...but I'm starting to wonder how long that is going to last...I haven't even seen her face to be honest...but well she has been through BG relationships before so I doubt she looks bad. XP And I wonder what would happen if we were to meet...should I? She constantly says she wants to come my house... X_x' Perhaps I'm just too young for this...well we'll see I guess.

Well the second part of Ledius's drift is almost done...just one more fight scene and its back to Krion...or maybe I'll just save that part for next time...

"So long and goodnight...sin has found you." ~Leigion, the fallen angel.
Zuru Three~ Fondling distant [Ledius's drift]

"Do you Ledius Lockheart and Luna Tagellin, take each other as your unlawfully forbidden wife and husband in health, wealth, good times or bad, and most importantly, knowing the path you have taken is going against both heaven and hell?" a female priestess asked the couple before her. Both dressed in the traditional attire of a groom and bride. Upon the roof of a modern multi-story church, this solemn and unavoidable question was asked. Their truthful answer fully known would change the world.

The night was slowly passing by, time waits for no one...but it doesn't past as quickly as people think. Every second could be precious, and yet useless and pointless at the same time. Not everything makes sense, and at times they don't need to. A middle age lady was on her way home from shopping. Her tied up golden yellow hair hanging behind her white raincoat. And her emerald green eyes filled with loneliness. There was no one to go home to tonight...everyone was out doing his or her own thing. And the sky looked cold as well as disheartening. Dark clouds showed signs of a down pour soon. The lady slowly made her way to the bus stop ahead of her. During times like this, how she wished that her husband didn't had to leave...but it couldn't be helped. Or that's what she always tells herself. Boarding the bus that soon arrived, she recalled the many times that she smiled and laughed with him. The times where they would have ice cream together under the stars. And that she would always take an extra lick from his whenever he wasn't looking. Till the day he left, he didn't seem to realize why his ice cream always finished so quickly. But now all that was left was the rain to keep her company. The droplets of water began falling hard on to the window besides her, each splashing into many more droplets in an array of different lights due to the lit town area around her. Different stalls past by, ranging from post offices to even card shops, but each holding very little interest to her. However just as she passed by an odd looking skyscraper, time seemed to stop for a second...and a warm feeling came over her. A feeling that she hadn't felt for a very long time, a feeling she had missed so much. Time quickly resumed its pace, and the skyscraper was almost out of sight. Pushing the alighting bell, she quickly proceeded to the doors and waited to alight at the next stop. Luckily for her, it wasn't very far away, and the skyscraper was still in walking distance away. Taking out her hood, she began her walk under the pouring rain.

Her heart began beating faster as she approached the building, he was here...she was almost sure of it. However as the automatic glass doors slide open, and a cold gust of air rushed out upon her face. She realized in the refreshing breezy that took away the previous feeling... "What am I doing? He can't be here... My feelings...they are probably just playing a trick on me..." Before long, she stepped back out. And the glass doors swooshed back to their original positions. Closing away the air-conditioned air within, and letting the middle-aged lady continue her wandering way in the rain. After she left, a hooded man in a black raincoat proceeded out. Looking around in hope to find the person he was looking for, he soon sighed and before long returned back into the building. The heavy rain and numerous people wearing raincoats made it hard to recognize anyone. Causing the man's hope to diminish quickly into the sounds of the heavy rain.

"What's the matter Ledius?" a man wearing a white suit asked from behind him. His hair was jelled up to show clearly his emerald eyes while his hands were tucked comfortably in his pockets. The other man pulled back his hood and let down his considerably stylish long hair before replying sadly, "It's nothing...for a moment there...I thought she was just outside."

"Well her home isn't pretty far away, you should visit her if you have the time." The business like man commented as he began his journey back to his office. Ledius followed suit not far behind. The lobby was fully carpeted and had two long stairways leading up to another floor. A counter was located in between the two stairs and security guards stood besides it. To the left of the lobby was where they were heading. A place dedicated to an invention making use of tubes to transport people, a place known to many as simply a lift lobby. However the lifts here weren't ordinary. They had secret compartments in them to access different floors of the building. But only the president of the company could open the compartments. On their way to these lifts, Ledius suddenly replied to his comment. "I don't have the time."
"You don't have the time or you just can't come up with a better excuse for me?"

Ledius let out a sigh before he entered, his eyes showing signs of doubt as he answered. "Perhaps a little of both."

"We do." That was our surely and truthful answer. We thought that no matter what happened...we would always be together. Against hell, or against heaven, we thought that nothing was going to break us apart. Yes, it was our wishful thinking. As we answered, we turned our backs to each other...and fired an array of dark and light arrows at the uninvited guests. A group of high reapers and angels had crashed the party.

The arrows were dead on target, with the dark ones engulfing the angels and the light subduing the reapers. "Heh, what do you say you guys? Lets get this party started!" one of the guest dressed in a formal suit suggested as he summoned his twin spears from thin air. A number of others followed suit with their own range of weapons, from machine guns to even a cross like staff from the priestess who quickly joined in the battle.

They had come...to try to prevent our wedding...those who couldn't accept the fact that we love each other...that though forbidden...we choose to wed. Our parents were dead. Perhaps they would have forbid it as well, but they weren't here to now...so it didn't matter. Our friends, siblings at least they were okay with it...

"You do realize what you're asking for could very well be suspected as terrorism." The man dressed in white asked as he read the documents Ledius had brought before him. "Well your company is a neutral company and it allows all its transitions to be done confidentially. Or are you changing your policy soon? Mr. president?" The president of the company was at a loss, its policy clearly does stat what Ledius had asked for...however the request from him was a bit too outrages to agree upon. "If it's the money...I can pay you in full now..." Ledius assured as he found the president's silence a bit too disturbing. "No...it's not the money..."

"I see...then give me a straight answer and I'll be on my way." Ledius said politely as he began packing up his documents into a black suitcase. He could recognized the facial expression on his troubled face and realized that his answer may not what be what he had hoped for. It was only a few minutes later before the president asked worriedly. "What are you going to do with so many dreads anyway?" Ledius showed him a smirk and stopped packing before replying, "In case of an invasion..."

"But how could you be so sure there may be one?"

"Hey, I said in case didn't I? Don't tell me you don't trust me? Okay...we'll add another condition in the contract. You keep the dreads safe. I won't touch them unless they are needed." Ledius replied hastily, not knowing how much he would regret that decision later on.

"Well...first of all...I said maybe...and since you are my brother in law...I guess...I'll do it then." The man dressed in white agreed as he took out a pen to sign his name on the documents.

"You have my thanks then Renoir." Ledius thanked as he gave him a graceful bow before leaving his office. The night was getting late, and indeed there was little time left before his flight departs...but still...he had one last thing to do...or should he say his friend did.

The night continued it's heavy down pour, and the moon rays were lost behind the dark clouds. With flowers in hand and a trench raincoat, a young teenager made his way towards the designated apartment. Knocking thrice, he waited for the door to open. He was here on an important errand...well perhaps not that important to him, as he would rather be sleeping on his comfortable bed at the hotel. But it was important to his caregiver...so he couldn't say no... When the door finally opened, he saw a gorgeous golden haired lady in causal clothing. The young teenager almost lost himself in her eyes if not for the unexpected phone call from her house. The lady quickly ran back in to pick up the call, leaving the young teen standing there like there was no tomorrow. Well at least he wasn't bored, as he could hear the lady's honey sweet voice from the door.

"Hello?"

"Oh Krion, you'll be late today...okies got it."

"Umm...well they're not home if that's what you wanted to know."

"Oh...you think you know where they are? Haha...okays don't come home too late then you three."

When she came back, she sincerely apologized with a bow. "Oh I'm so sorry, did you wait long?" The teen a bit shaken by the lady's concern shook his head and hastily handed her the bouquet of black roses and a card before running away as fast as he could in embarrassment soon after. He was afraid that she might have mistaken that the flowers were from him...so he decided that it would have been too awkward to stay. The lady surprised by the teenager's odd behavior, couldn't help but let out a giggle before opening the card to see who the flowers were from.

Dear Luna,

I know I haven't been home for 12 years now, but you know why I had to leave...perhaps you hate me for leaving...but it was something I just had to do. Hah...I'm not even sure if you still remember this lousy husband of yours, but he remembers and misses you every second of his life. These roses are for you. I know it's odd to send black flowers, but we promised each other before didn't we? I'll show you the darkness, and you'll show me the light. See you soon...

Love,
Ledius
The one who's sorry and whose heart is fondly missing you.


The lady upon finishing reading took one of the roses and enchanted it with light. Causing the rose to turn snow white in appearance. She then stepped out to the balcony and let the rose fall. The rain during the delivery had gotten smaller, almost decreasing to nothing. Allowing the solo rose to timely fall back down to it's deliverer to be delivered back to the one who sent for him.


It was a night similar to the weather ten years later, heavy rain...and fond hearts. A young man stood on the ledge of the roof of an apartment building. Lost in his emotions and regret of what he must do. His hood was pulled to his back, leaving his entire head unprotected by the cold, tasteless drops of water. He felt the rain as a way to comfort his sorrow. A way for his tearless eyes to cry...

A group of others wearing raincoats soon approached him from behind. "Are you sure this is what you want?" one of them asked in a solemn tone. The not hooded man shook his head before replying sadly, "I don't have a choice."

"Hey come on...we can do it without you! We don't need you to mess things up and hold us back!" another of the group shouted harshly. Trying his best to convince the poor soul not to go. Ledius upon hearing that, closed his eyes in frustration before arguing back strongly, "But...it was partially because of me that he became this way! If...if Luna and I hadn't fall in love...then they wouldn't had tortured him to that state! They wouldn't had killed her in the process..."

"Then shouldn't Luna be coming along as well?" A four speaker asked, but Ledius decided not to answer him...it was going nowhere...they seem determined not to let him go along with them...even though they knew why he had to...but they didn't know the guilt and pain he was feeling...and so he lied.

As soon as they left, he boarded his private jet...but not before visiting his special someone first...She was asleep at that time, but that was the only reason why he dared to go back...While giving her a kiss on her forehead, he whispered softly to her ear, "Goodbye my dear...the children can't do without a mother...so allow me to take the burden for the both of us...I'll end it for you...I promise."


All of a sudden, a young child's voice disturbed his moment. "Daddy? Where are you going?" Ledius was surprised by the fact that one of his sons was still awake, he kneeled down and gave him a hug so that he could stalled for time to think of what to say to him. After a moment of thought, he let go and said to the boy, "Daddy has to go to somewhere far away, and he won't be coming back soon. I know you may not be the oldest Hien...but I know you'll grow up to be a responsible adult. So take care of them for me...can you do that son?" The young child nodded to his father's request, and saw him slowly letting him go...before leaving through the large wooden door.


And so he left...not knowing that they would be separated for twelve long years...and even then...it still hasn't ended. Light was still sinned.

Zuru two~ Life is life

In a twisted world very much like our own. Devils and angels once occupied Earth and Mars. Humanoid creatures of darkness and light created a fragile balance of power and lived in harmony. However one day, someone unbalanced it. And a plagued covered the two worlds, making the angels and devils that survived lose their powers. They lost their wings and horns, making them weaker then before... It was said that this was a punishment because of those who had disrupt the balance...causing the worlds to fall into darkness. But there were a special few that were immune to the plagued and retained their powers. With their superiority, the devils and angels tried to construct a new balance between themselves and the new kind. Those who survived were given a new name. "Man." As the years go by...man slowly grew with complication. As they were born from angels and devils, there were good and bad men. The angels tried their best to keep the peace, but to little avail. "Man" was growing in population faster then the devils or angels. However they slowly constructed the balance that the angels and devils were trying so hard to achieve. With that, the two races decided to live among the man. Withdrawing their wings and horns, they hid their true identity and lived as man. For centuries this went on...and technology improved tremendously. With ancient monuments revealing the idea of another planet like their own, Earth and Mars were soon linked together by a grand central space station. The two planets prospered as time went by, but disturbances in the balance have begun. Darkness once again begins it's uprising. Heaven and Hell will clash once more. However for students, they are still blissfully unaware of these changes...to be honest now, how many students actually watch the news?

It was early in the morning, the sky was still dark and the air was still cold. In the hall of a school, the sounds of fast footwork and swords clashing echoed throughout the corridors around it. Two young men were sparing with each other, one dressed in fencing uniform the other a traditional samurai robe. Both welding swords of their after school activity. The fencer forced through a powerful thrust, but his opponent easily countered it by squatting down and unleashing a side wards swing with his kendo stick. The fencer however dodged it by performing a somersault in mid-air and landed behind the kendo welder. "Now...now, don't go easy on me brother." The fencer's opponent taunted as he stood back his battle stance and waited for the fencer's next move. Griping his kendo stick with two hands, he held it forward to defend or strike down the fencer. "Heh. Do you prefer this then?" the fencer replied as his thrusts begin to pick up speed and spin. Unfazed and undaunted, his opponent matched his speed with his own. Each thrust was redirected, each swing was clashed with another. In skill, speed and power...they were equally matched. As the battle continued, the older one commented "You know brother...I met an angel last night."

"What?" the fencer exclaimed as his brother quickly de-armed him with another squat and thrust upwards causing him to fall hard onto the wooden floor. Lowering his hand to him, the fencer's brother then explained, "Hah...I meant she looked as beautiful as an angel to me. You see...I was trying another stunt with my bike..." However he was quickly interrupted harshly as soon as the fencer heard the word stunt. "You went to jump with the bike again didn't you? That suspicious hole in that run down building was caused by you wasn't it? How many times must I tell you not to endanger yourself and that bike! It's our father's! You're the older brother for goodness sake! You don't need me to keep reminding you Krion!" Though the scolding was loud and in a very angry tone...the fencer's brother continued with that innocent smile on his face. "Heh...sorry, but I couldn't help myself...anyways...we better hurry or we're going to be late for class."

"Yeah come on you slow pokes! Class starts in ten and you guys are still not in your uniform!" a third voice added. It was a female with tied up hair, blue cobalt eyes and a light skin complexion already dressed in her uniform and ready to go. "Fine...we'll talk about this later...besides today is an examination day, can't afford to be late now can we?"

Yes...this is who we are...just three innocent students...three innocent siblings...or so we thought...

The three quickly made a run for it to their classroom. Unfortunate for them it was located one floor below. The three siblings ran towards the nearest stairway and gracefully slide down the railings. "I think we're going to make it!" one of them said enthusiastically...however even though they were fast...the bell rang before they could step into the classroom. When they entered, they saw their form teacher already in front of the entire seated class. She had curly shoulder length hair, quite large eyes and wore a black straight dress. She was a kind and caring teacher despite her liking of black, but can be quite fierce when she wants to. Standing besides her was a new face to the three. He wore the same uniform as them and had stylish crimson red hair accompanied by golden yellow eyes. His smile was slight but yet confident. "Krion, Hien and Reina Lockhearts! You do know it's exam week don't you? There's no reason why you should be late."

"Sorry Ms Ang!" the three said in a sorry tone as they proceeded to their seats.

"Now...as I was saying, we have a new student. And as we all know this week is exam week, but he has decided to sit for them despite not being in any of the lessons before. Well anyways we have to begin the exam soon, so would you please...introduce yourself quickly as I prepare the papers."

The young teenager then stepped up and gave the class a bow before saying, "I'm Reiner Rarepe. And it's a pleasure to share the same class as all of you." As he walked to his seat, he gave Krion a devilish glare. One that was both puzzling and yet oddly inviting at the same time. The exam soon began and Krion found himself face to face with one of the toughest obstacles he had to face in his entire life. Even compared to those that are to come in the future...he will always remember this horrifying a-math exam. Where all he could do was sit and stare at the numbers...all the time, "What is this? What is that?" constantly repeated in his mind until he turned to the last page and almost screamed out loud but he did it in his mind instead, "OH MY GOD!" It was the most terrifying thing he had ever saw...a whole question filling up the entire page with what seems like a combination of advance algebra and some other formulas he couldn't understand. A straight zero...he predicted as he found his answer sheet completely blank. "Oh well...it's not like I was ever good with numbers anyway...wonder how everyone else are doing." He said in his mind as he began looking around for his classmate's faces. Scanning through he found expressions ranging from 'hopeless' to 'oh this is so easy!' However there was one expression that really caught his eye. It was from the new student sitting besides him, he was staring at the paper with the same devilish glare he gave him. Krion wasn't sure if it was cause he wanted to rip the paper into shreds, or because the paper was amusingly easy. But before he could confirm it, a shadowy figure stood before him. Turning around he saw a sly smiling teacher, "Are you trying to cheat now Mr Lockheart?" she asked. "Umm no of course not!" Krion replied frantically. "Good. Cause if this was a 'O' level examination hall...looking around would be considered cheating." Ms Ang replied calmly before leaving to check on others. "Haha...hah...whew."

Before long, the exam was over and everyone came rushing out of the classroom. This exam marked the end of all the exams this year, as well as the beginning of a one-week holiday for the teachers to mark the papers, print the report slips and decides who gets promoted. As Krion took his first step out of school, he let out a sigh. Which was added on by another sigh by Hien. And then by a happy cheer from Reina, "WooHoo! No school for a week! So why the glum faces bros?"

"A-math..." the brothers answered together almost simultaneously. "Huh? I thought it was pretty easy." Their sister teased and giggled at the sight of her brothers squatting down in depression and drawing circles on the floor with their fingers. "Hey...come on cheer up! You guys still have practice later on. Can't fight with a gloomy face now can we?" Sighing again, the two brothers nodded and continued their walk home. "You know...you two are very alike..." Reina commented as she saw her brothers sighing together while walking. "Hah...alike? You got to be kidding us." They both said, almost simultaneously once again.

That afternoon the kendo members were once again training in the hall of their school. The freshmen were busy practicing their strokes while the seniors were having it out against each other. Krion however simply just watched from afar...he just didn't felt like going against any of them today. Well, actually he never does...the matches are always over under a minute. So without the challenge...things got boring quickly. It was just another day of practice, or so he thought as from one of the corridors of the hall approached a new challenger. Dressed in their normal school uniform, the student slowly made his way towards them. In one hand was a kendo stick, the other was placed calmly in his pocket. His face carried the same devilish glare as per usual. And his presence quickly caused the entire hall to go silent. "What business do you have here freshman?" one of the seniors asked as he raised his kendo stick towards him. "A challenge. Think you can provide that?" the red haired teen taunted as he too lifted his kendo stick towards the senior. "What a fool...you have my word, I'll give you more then that!" the senior assured as he dashed forward with his kendo stick. Reiner easily dodged a swing of the stick and tripped the senior with his spare leg. "Didn't even lift my sword...no wonder you guys didn't even make it through the first round of the regional tournaments." Reiner commented in disappointment.

"Why you..." A few more seniors soon surrounded the calm red head. Each pissed off by the red head's words. Krion however watching from a far found the new student rather amusing...and reminded him of how Hien and him fought the entire of their own clubs on their first day in this school. Getting up from his comfortable spot in the corner of the hall, Krion joined the newcomer with a smirk on his face. "Don't you just hate it when people can’' life up to their word?" Reiner returned the smirk and replied, "My sentiments exactly..."

"How dare you betray us Krion!" one of the seniors shouted angrily. The two soon found themselves back to back, against almost every kendo member in their school. "Twenty two against two...like the odds my friend?" Krion asked as he stood in his kendo stance. "Absolutely." Reiner replied confidently as they anticipated their opponent's moves. The first one came dashing at Krion. Diverting the kendo stick, Krion swiftly unarmed him with an unexpected swing towards the open side by spinning his body and switching hands of his weapon. The next one came at Reiner and was also quickly taken care of by a clash of swords and a swift sweep of his feet. In the midst of battle Reiner couldn't help but ask Krion why he was so eager to help him. It was unlike anyone to just help a stranger and betray his entire club in doing so...but this one individual, he did it with such ease as though it came naturally.

After taking down a few more members Krion finally gave him an answer, "I just thought it might be fun." Surprised by his comrade's answer Reiner gave him a puzzled look before saying calmly to himself, "Lol. What an interesting character you have." As the battle continued, Reiner slowly found himself back to back with the walls of the hall. "But your actions hinder my purpose here. And thus this is where I take my leave Lockheart." Taking down the few around him with a series of blocks and trips, he made sure no one was looking before fading into the shadows around him. His body entered the darkness as though he was part of it. And as Krion turned to see, he soon found himself alone. His new friend had disappeared like magic. Leaving him to take down the remaining of the kendo club members. "See you later then." Krion said to the wall before grabbing another kendo stick and dashing forward to the remaining seven.

Reiner on the other hand reappeared from the shadows created by the walls of a stairway compartment to the rooftop of a nearby building. Slowly making his way to the edge of the roof, Reiner took out his cell phone and began making a call while watching the face off between Krion and the remaining seven members. Surprisingly Krion wasn't doing very well...as the seven combined their strokes into one fluent motion. Krion found himself unable to bear their combined strength and was quickly cornered to a corner of the hall. "Now...Krion we're going to show you what happens to traitors. You may have beaten us before, but we secretly perfected this style to deal with you...with one more fluent stroke...this battle will end." The tallest of them assured as the seven lifted their kendo sticks and was prepared to deliver the finishing blow. Krion found himself unable to counter them...their strokes could combined their individual strength, and yet form a range that even he couldn't dodge from. With such odds...the only option left would be to defend. However just as he felt like there was truly no way out, someone caught his eye.

Soon the mighty stroke from the seven of them came flying down with intense speed and velocity that would scare just about any kendo warrior. Krion however caught all seven strokes with one of the kendo sticks and a grin on his face. The stick began breaking apart upon the impact, but it was able to withstand enough of the blow for him to launch his counter attack. As the seven were doing a downward stroke, Krion had purposely caught their sticks just above their chest. Leaving them completely open to his incoming second stick. In one swift blow, the seven were bashed with such force that it caused them to fly backwards for a few meters. "Darn you Krion...why do you have to be so strong..." one of them complained as he laid there…trying to cope with the pain of not only from the blow but from losing as well. Krion turned his vision to the someone who caught his eye and replied jokingly, "The answer is simple...there's a beautiful angel watching..." The angel he was talking about turned out to be the same girl who he had tried to cheer up the night before.

Reiner's cell phone soon got through to the person he had wanted to call.

"Reiner here."

"Status report then my boy."

"He has a very interesting character I'll give you that. I came to their practice session and thrashed one of their members in hope that he would challenge me. But to my surprise...he joined me instead."

"I see...so you failed then?"

"Not at all...I can tell you now, his strength comes only momentary and once the condition changes...so does his strength. May it be a good or bad change in condition, his strength decreases and only unveil itself when he has a strong desire to. And so I conclude this unstable symptom...he hasn't awaken."

"Well that isn't a problem anymore...he will in time as the darkness approaches. And when he does..."

"I'll be there to stop him."

Krion's story is officially called "Devil's drift". A short story on Rena and Krion is a few post below...more updates maybe on saturday.

Monday, October 17, 2005

Muhahah wanna write a Krion story!!! Set in a different world this time. Well...not so different actually, just more in depth and what to expect. It'll take place a few years before the last one.

In a twisted world very much like our own. Devils and angels once occupied Earth and Mars. Humanoid creatures of darkness and light created a fragile balance of power and lived in harmony. However one day, someone unbalanced it. And a plagued covered the two worlds, making the angels and devils that survived lose their powers.

The two planets prospered as time went by, but disturbances in the balance have begun. Darkness once again begins it's uprising. Heaven and Hell will clash once more. For this is...the devil's drift.

Devil's drift~

Zuru one~ Not my home


A home. A place where you can call your sanctuary. A place you can feel safe...where your heart feels at peace and your mind at ease. But what if you were not allowed of that? What if you could no longer find a safe place to cry...where would you go? Where would you run off to?

The night sky was lit ablaze with it's numerous stars. Each shining with all it's glory. Each bringing hope for the present. It was a rare sight to behold on this side of the earth. Stars rarely shine, but for some reason...there they were tonight. Up on the roof of a run down building were two teenagers. A boy and a girl. Both enojying the rare sight above them, but with different hearts. The long haired girl with cobalt blue eyes sat upon the edges of the roof as though to jump. Her maroon coloured dress and brown hair swayed with the cold wind of the night. As her heart felt lost and shaken...she had nowhere else to go to...nowhere else to cry. Her father was drunk again. And was abusing her mom brutally. She could do nothing...and to make matters worse her exams were tomorrow. And her home was filled with angry screams and cries. She was for sure going to fail tomorrow...

Taking her books she ran away for the night. In hope to find a place to study. But even the place she always go to when she needs to be alone had now been occupied by this strange boy. She felt hopeless...she couldn't even cry in peace. She felt like the world hated her...like there was no longer a reason to live. She could just jump off now...and have no regrets. At least...maybe then she would find a place of peace in death. The long fringed haired boy however was looking towards the stars with great optimism. His slight but carefree smile made him look as though he didn't had a care in the world. But surprisingly, he asked her a very depressing question. "You going to jump?"

Stunned for words, the girl gave it a thought before replying sadly. "Maybe."

The boy's smile grew widder. He reached out his hand for her's before asking, "Would you trust me?"

Starring with doubt, the young teenage girl thought to herself. "Why not? It's not like my life matters...right?" And she replied confidently while taking hold of his hand, "Yeah. Why not?"

Soon enough with one small step. They jumped down this fifty story building. Slowly accelerating, the boy's hand was still holding on to her's tightly. For some reason he wasn't going to let go. She soon realized that but didn't do anything about it...to her at that point of time...it no longer mattered. Nothing mattered. She was to die. And end her suffering.

[But who would have thought...]

However all of a sudden, a sleek black motorcycle crashed through the walls from the inside of the building and ended up mid-air right below them. "Hang on." the boy suggested as he and the teenage girl landed onto the cycle. Speeding down the building, the boy was enjoying every moment of this extreme stunt. The girl however was too stunned to do anything and just held on as tightly as she could. Drifting on the sides of the building to slow down the speed of the cycle. The friction against the walls made a trail of grey smoke behind them. With a push of a button, the mini jets of the cycle were fired. The cycle made a jump off the wall just before it crashed into the ground and made a somersault before landing safely.

It took a few moments before the girl realized what had just happened. She was still alive...her suffering wasn't going to end anytime soon. Frustrated, she screamed angrily at the boy, "I thought you told me to trust you!" Puzzled...the boy defended himself, "What? I thought you were trusting me to get you down alive! Unless you were actually...oh..."

The girl was quiet after that...it was too akward to say anything anyways. She just simply kept her head down...her eyes brimming with tears. How she wished that there would be someone there to hold her...someone she could turn to...and just then, the boy lifted up her head, wiped away her tears and gave her a bright smile. "Well...you jumped didn't you? And you're alive right? So go on living. Without doubt, there will always be a time when life breaks you into pieces. Tears will surely fall, but let them... It's always okay to cry...no one will blame you. But after that, I hope you will stand back up...and even more hopefully with a smile. There will be people who will walk your path besides you, but no one can walk it for you... Since it's inevitable...why not do it with a smile?"

[Yes indeed...who would have thought...that I would fall for this crazy guy...]
New skin...still black and white...other colours on paint sux anyway... Thinking of writing another Krion story...even got a motorcyle chase planned. And so the Krion on the skin. Modified the cycle from Cloud's...weapon idea inspired by his also. Interlockable guns to swords. With a main pistol and a particle beam rife. Able to combine as a dual bladed lance as shown in pic and as a buster sword as well. Their weight interchangable with the amount of guns attached.

What if you were given another chance to live...and to hold on to the things you can't bear to part with for the price of a "I do." What would you do with your second chance? And what will you not do with it? What if weird things start to happen after that? Things you can only dream of, things you never thought you'll see... What if your second chance was only because of a contract...one that will be life bounded to you. To sacrifice 10 years of your life to your savior...to be paid at any given time...but what if...someone told you one night...you only had one more year to live...

If so...your due payment...begins tonight.

Another concept idea...need to add more into it though...well till then, on to my life. Depressed cause of exams...lesser time to see her...saddened... I can't seem to get it right when it comes to drawing female characters as well...needs help on that...but also everything no mood...four days never see her and I so sad le...account no credit...monday got physics...tuesday bio...wednesday revision cause next day exams...if I continue this way...two weeks later then can see her...so saddened...wish that there was some word from her... My revision also not coming along that nicely...still got homework to do...chem read through only...physics trying to cope...but only done with a few chapters...still got like ten over more parts...got so many other problems bugging me also...dunno how I'm going to cope with all these...

Wish I could see her...for a moment of comfort...at least then...I believe...

I can walk forever now~
There may be times when life will be harsh.
It may break you, and take away all the things you hold dear...
Make your eyes water your tissues again...and make you want to give it up just then and there.
And though you're leaving...I just want to let you know...
No matter how harsh it gets...you will always have someone to lean on to... ^_^'
Without doubt, there will always be a time when life breaks you into pieces.
Tears will surely fall, but let them...
It's always okay to cry...no one will blame you.
But after that, I hope you will stand back up...and even more hopefully with a smile.
There will be people who will walk your path besides you, but no one can walk it for you...
Since it's inevitable...why not do it with a smile? ^_^'

WoOooHOoooOOO!!!!!!!!! GooOOO Sepiroth!!!!!!!!!!! Got to watch AC!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!! For those who dun know, it's a 1hr40min Final fantasy style animation movie. AND IT SO TOTALLY RAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!! GoOOOOoo Cloud!!! Seven sword Omni slash!!!! XP [Not even the real name of the move...lost count of his swords.] OoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo loves Cloud's sword though. Can be joined together and seperate...so style also...an absolutely creative idea by the makers... *envious* XD All the female characters also so freaking CHIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even Yuffie!!! But Areith was the most CHIO one!!!!!!!!!!!! Vincent's part was small and he gestures like a vampire, but also very nice wooOOoorrrrRRrrRrrr. The movie also got funny parts de...ooOOOoooOOo wants the dvd...All the battle scences were terrificlly done also. Too bad not going to see them on the big screen threaters...though I kinda figured the reason why. The movie is only meant to be a tribute sort of thing. The storyline is pretty much not a movie kind of storyline, but more of a chapter like thing. So the viewers are kinda thrown into the mix of things...which is really too bad... But it's still AWESOME anyways...one of my year wishes fullfilled...aahhh...just KH2 left...

Well, anyways besides that...yesterday also go play CS with collin they all...I soooOOoo newb wor...only can trash girls...haha. Play too much GunzOnline le...anyhow spray ammo one. Then the girls[Jie ying and Shi hui] want play this game...ppl kill them the time they will complain de...like so aiyo man...haha...maybe should have just let them kill can le... Friday also went quite smoothly. After Wrath left, got to talk to her more...haha. She even casually said wan meet me...haiz...scared she see me le will run away...lol...*troubled*

Tuesday, September 06, 2005

Haha...wanna cry le...Sly's story very sad...but at the end also very touching... The song also not bad...but too bad not Sly ownself compose de...though in the story he keeps saying, "It's not finish yet..." X_x' The part on his father also very touching... He dun even know how to put in battery on discman, haha at that time really wanna say, "Awwww" Then while listening to the song his son composed halfway kenna hit by car... Like so ironic like that... Luckily didn't die...can even laugh at Sly dunno how make coffee. [His father makes coffee for a living]Then when Sly realized that, his quote also not bad. "It's then that I realized...that those eyes he always gave me were not eyes of hatred... He was just trying to understand me..." Aiya dun wan say liao lah...you never watch then too bad...

Jen sms me today also...tomorrow gonna see her on RO... Yay!!! XD Remember when I said Mrs Ang say that last term dunno why suddenly so hardworking... I guess the only thing that changed in my life is that I met her...haha...better not say le, you all get the idea. On another note...life is getting more funny, when junyu and me eating lunch... We eat mashed potato with a straw and fork...like dunno that there's something called a spoon... XD!!! Then that day when re-watched Initial D the time, got one character we say like Junyu...cause so direct also. Junyu always looking for girlfriend will in private server de RO go infront and ask her, "Will you date me?" XP The character in the movie asked a girl to do you know what with him, and then got slapped...he also not very good looking...but got a hairstyle like junyu like that. Haha, so we say next time he like that. But at the end of the movie, the guy the girl friend not bad wor...quite chio one...hahah. Sometimes me, Junyu, Shao hong and collin like Sanzo's party like that... Junyu, obviously Goku... Me, Sanzo!!!! Haha...cause I like him...haha nah, because they always call me go be leader. Junyu also like Goku, everytime come my house... Sh? Hmm Gojyo???[Ladie's man] Junyu's relationship with him also very much like Gojyo and Goku. Then left Collin and Hakkai only...you guys think match??? Haha maybe it's just me... still as obessed with Saiyuki as before. XD But now the new ones not so nice le...prefer the old Saiyuki series...the art style was better...and the story darker...more inspirational also...a work of art. Though the new one does have it's moments...

OH YeaH! Love my new blog skin! *HuGs* Inspired by a wall paper I found. The maker drew a sanzo pic, and made the wall paper in the way that you see now. Except that his was drawn in blue pen XP and that I'm not drawing sanzo. Though if I told you it was sanzo...you would have believed me anyway...cause they look partially alike! XP *Figures...huh?* I also made the skin in a way for easy viewing with the buttons below. Like a little corner. And the rest is the pic and my blog's slogan...that now I realized should have been, "Crimson blood~ With that which flows in my veins..." AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Too mah fan to change le...so gonna leave like that. The pic also has a written poem to be read from top to bottom. Should be like this,

No more worries, only doubts.
No more rain, only clouds.
Only my will, only myself.
It is only for you that I shine...and become a stronger light.

Written for the character's theme "Hero" The character's name? It's so BiG!! Dun tell me you cannot scroll and see... X_x' but I'll tell you anyways, "Gary Himmers" His hair was supposed to be jelled up also...but was trying to draw a rainy effect...if you can't tell...so it's down now...that's why it's not actually sanzo!!! V_V The character has a back story of failing exams, and the story is pretty much how he blames himself and losses his cheerful self. His father is his only parent and works hard to send him to school, and so failling an exam means dissappointing him. He tries to hide his feelings but soon explodes and throws his temper at a close friend and they became distant after that. His friend always looked at him as a hero...and so he dissappoints her as well. However he soon picks himself back up while fighting with a friend in a virtual game.[the main storyline is about the game] And in wanting to prove to himself, took the gold for a tournament of the game. Not done yet but I'm proably boring you guys...haha. The theme "hero" itself comes from the jap movie "Ping pong" so try to get the chance to watch it if ya can...

Now that I'm done advertising my new blog skin and character, on to life. Yesterday she was supposed to be online...she promised even...but something good happened anyway... Used Junyu's phone to sms her...haha *feels so paiseh* >_<' So ya...everything's going fine except that I haven't touched my homework...

Hmm...on another note dunno why she likes me so much...but then again she haven't seen me in real life...proably would scare her away also...hah...baka me...dun think too much...you're not that bad looking...I think...maybe...what do you all think? XP

Saturday, August 06, 2005

Yes...I'm supposed to do my homework now...but heck with it! Reallly bad luck sia this few days... A little backstory first, I went to wan yin's the father the funeral...so supposed to do some kind of ritual before you step into your home otherwise they say the spirit will follow you back home. Well I did everything...and messed up at the last part. The basin of water where I was supposed to wash my face before going in...I brought it into my house and poured the water into the toilet bowl. Supposed to pour at the drain outside de...Then the next day that toilet the light fuse blown...and now my mp3 player can go all the modes except mp3 mode...so I'm stuck with the radio. Well it's not like I regret going...after all I did feel sad. Couldn't help it...my mother had never really taken care of my brother and me. My father did everything, from housework to bringing the bacon home. So...yeah I owe him I supposed...though I can still remember him telling us a long time ago. "When you grow up and become fine men...remember, you don't owe me anything." Hah...not the exact words, but the you don't owe me anything part is the only part I remembered. Dunno what I'll do without him...my mother just left like that...my father was hurt...and he proably began losing faith. He told me before we can't depend too much on friends...when it comes to those desperate situations...they won't stick there to help you. I disagreed that time...but I didn't say anything. Cause I knew if it was me...and if it was someone I was good terms with/cared about...I know I'll stick through. It's just the way I am...a little too sensitive. My father while watching "yongfu" also said to never be like him...don't chase a girl till like that. Hah...to be honest I agree but yet I admire youngfu's persistance. I know what he's telling me...this world can be cold...I already know that...but I can't help it if I wish to dream...

Heh, anyways it's not the first time I'm having bad luck...and yeah...she wouldn't like it when I'm sad...always tell me must smile de...hah...silly girl~

^_^'

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

First off, I would like to thank Zhong ming for his comment...saying I can sing. XD Yes, yes...anyone can sing, it's how good that is the question. Hah...I do sing for fun at times though. >_<' And if you all didn't know, last monday was my birthday!!! And if you remember...I tend to hate my birthday...but this year's was kinda different. Sh[Sean! O_O'] and Collin gave me RO presents. X_x' A panda hat and some weird bag of money headgear. Hah...meanwhile my dear sent me lots of sweet sms and the really sad thing is that my stupid phone can't seem to reply or sent messengers!!!! And lastly a good friend wrote a story for me[I'm a knight! XP]...a perfect gift if you ask me.[She's no one you guys know...so don't need ask.] All in all it was a wonderful day, but what really bugs me now...is the fact that exams are so fricking close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday, June 26, 2005

Hellos all, school opening tomorrow...how saddening. Anyways, how has all of you guys and girls holidays been? Mine has been a weird mixture of love and hate. It's been boring and yet dreamy at the same time, odd huh? I practically shun my studies aside and live and let live. Living each day as it is. And pretty much hanging out with my dearest on RO. Anyways, I've decided not to continue the invokers...which clearly invoked Dw. Instead I've already begun on a new project, or you can call it an old one. Basicly it's on the Entwined series which was the roots of Heaven's tears, Hell's sorrow. However...I won't be putting it up here, for lazy reasons. So if you're interested and have nothing to do, you can always ask me to send it to you.

Friday, June 17, 2005

Well as you can see from below, Invokers is just pretty much a messed up world...with Wrath making appearances and well...I doubt it'll attract anyone's attention. However, if you want to try it out...then be my guest. Go ahead if u have nothing better to do.
Invokers~ Fragments of sorrow and hope.

Prologue: "Final days" [Part one]

A year has past since the Day of Judgment, a memorable day when the mortals pitted themselves against the army of the gods and emerged victorious with the help of a few individuals. Though the gates were now sealed, the world itself hasn't healed. Humans have grown more tempered with the lost of faith in their gods. Many wars have started due to that fact...from the ridiculous reasons of a country having too much land, to religious reasons of hating people who refuse to shun away their faith. And though the battle between dreads and angels only happened in Reina's hometown, it has affected the world one way or another.

However in all this madness, there's still one powerful country that continues its peace or...so it claims. And oddly, it's where the fateful battle began...

The morning sky was covered with endless gray clouds that made it seemed as though it was going to rain, and the wind was howling as though it had lost something dear to it. Two young teenagers were racing each other on their bikes, their destination? Simply, was to get to school on time. Pedaling as fast as they could, the two boys were making good time. When suddenly, one of them began heading left of their normal road that was to cross the bridge before turning towards their school. He wore a red shirt matching his dark blue jeans. He was quite good looking with smooth black hair flying in the wind accompanied with soothing black-seated eyes. Directing his bike towards the railing of a stairway, he lifted his bike upwards and balanced himself while the wheels of his bike rolled him down the rail. Then just before his bike reached the river he was heading downwards to...he made another leap into the air with his bike and did a 360-degree spin before landing on a speedboat passing by.

"Heh, show off." The other young teenager commented as he pitted his bike against the speedboat. Although he was quickly falling behind, the young teenager remained calm and focus. Wearing a black coat in a very mysterious manner, the young man also had black seated-eyes but accompanied with dark brown hair jelled upwards on one side. Soon they were reaching their school, the young man leading ahead was just about to jump when all of a sudden the speedboat went the other way of the river. "Hey stop! Wait! Noooooooo!!!!" his voice echoed as he was now heading away from his school.

The other teenager on the other hand arrived at his school a few minutes later. "It never pays to show off..." he commented as he made his way to secure his bike on a parking space just for bikes. When he reached there, he realized that the area was empty...

"Weird...I thought we were running late." He said, not knowing of what had really happened. As he searched the entire school for anyone he could clear his doubts with...he soon realized that the school was deserted. And oddly he was the only one there...not even the teachers could be found.

****Four hours soon passed and it was recess time****
The sky now was bright blue, clear of clouds and any chances of rain. Two friends were resting on the stairway while discussing of their morning.
"Oh...you dope! You woke me up an hour early!" the one in black shouted as he landed his fist on top of his friend's head.

"Hah...at least we weren't late." His friend debated as he rubbed the sore part on his head.

"Well...you should have known better then to use him as an alarm clock." A female's voice cut in as she took a seat besides them.

There was a moment of silence from the one in the black coat as he realized his female friend was right. However just as he was about to apologize, there was a special announcement for all students to proceed to the hall.

Soon, just about everyone had arrived...the hall was a very grand place with it's red curtains on the stage and perfect lighting. And today, the curtains were closed and the lighting pointing towards them...obviously the school staffs were going to introduce someone to the school. The question is...who? And why was the person here?

The questions were soon answered as the principle raised the curtain to reveal a smartly dressed man in a black suit, while introducing him. "Ahem, today we are all gathered here to welcome our new vice-principle...Mr. Cryhell." His hair was combed back, and his purple eyes showed a strict, confident look. Cryhell basically looked just like any vice-principle...however the three friends can't help but felt a weird dark aura around him. And just as Mr. Cryhell was about to speak, unexpectedly the sound of thunder could be heard echoing throughout the school...followed by the sound of heavy drops of water crashing on to the surface of the ground. It was raining...when a few minutes ago, the sky was as clear as an empty jar. Stunned and surprised, the students all turned their attention to their new vice-principle. "Well what do you know..." he started off knowing that he has gotten their attention with that last stroke of luck. "Anyways, besides me...there will be another new face in school. He's a new student, named Rein Luvensen. Lets give him a warm welcome, shall we?" he said warmly as he stepped aside to reveal a young teenager with dark blonde hair, his eyes closed as he leaned on the wall at the end of the stage. He wore clothing with a mixture of black and white, his jacket was also styled with many belts that don't seem to clip to anywhere. Upon hearing the applause, he slowly opened his eyelids to reveal his beautiful golden eyes before making his way towards the mike. However instead, of saying anything else..all he did was a bow before joining the other students below. "Okay...well, as your new vice-principle I'll be sure to look out for you students needs...blah bleh etc. I'm sure you guys don't want to listen to empty promises...so I'll just be straight. Nothing's going to change, but if I catch any of you misbehaving...I assure you. There will be dire consequences. That is all...now, return back to class."

Class went on as usual, but when it was dismissal time...just about everyone was talking about the new principle.

"I just don’t see what’s the heap about this...he's just like any other vice-principle." A young teenager commented as he rested his head on his desk, waiting for his friends to finish packing their lockers.
"Well...I admit you have a point there Livan, but still...I can't help but sense something weird about him. A sense of uncertainty lurks around every move he makes...and every word he says." A young female teenager replied as convincing as she could be.

"Heh, it's not like there's a conspiracy going on or anything...so why worry so much Reina?" another young teenager in a black coat asked as he placed the final book into the locker and locked it.

"I just can't help it Suiku...you know I'm always right about these things..." Reina argued back as she too finished packing her locker.

"We'll just have to wait and see then. Besides...if anything were suspicious I would say it would have to be the new kid. After all...it's not everyday you see a transferred student appearing with a new vice-principle. It makes you wonder why he came here...and what happened before he did." Livan explained as he got up, prepared to leave as well.

As the three were just about to leave the school, something caught Suiku's eye. It was the so-called new kid...Rein. On the grounds of the school red concourse, there he was...with the members of the kendo club. "Heh, fancy seeing you in my way new kid. I never thought I would get the chance to knock some sense into you so soon." One of them taunted as he raised his kendo stick. The young man was the leader of the kendo club, he had not only won many trophies but had also brought the school much fame. Then again just about every club in their school that competed with sports always did well.

"Shouldn't we do something?" Reina asked worriedly as she sensed a fight brewing.

"No...this is how we settle things here. The weak must bend to the strong. Harsh...but effective. Hah but don't worry...there are always nice strong people who protect the weak as well. I guess this must be the first fight you've seen here, come to think of it your new here too huh? Reina..." Suiku explained as he rested his arms comfortably on the railings...preparing for a good show.

"Heh, the strong protecting the weak? You talking about yourself?" Reina teased as she too got comfortable.

"Nah...maybe sometimes, but if you want a perfect example...just look at that kind hearted fool running towards them." Suiku commented as he pointed to a teenager wearing a red shirt and dark blue jeans.

"Livan..."

Dark clouds began gathering above the school again...it seems that today was just meant to be a rainy day. "You don't have to be here..." Rein said softly, trying to assure the concerned Livan, as he held out one of his arms to stop him. "You sure?" Livan asked before taking a step back when he saw Rein nodding.
"Just watch the show..."

"I first presumed that you were annoying, but never did I thought you would be so arrogant as well. I guess it must be fate that brought me to you...in order to teach you some manners!" the leader cried out as he stood in his fighting stance, his two hands gripping the handle of the stick and holding it up towards Rein. Rein quickly reacted by standing in his own fighting stance. The rest of the kendo members then quickly charge forth to ensure their victory, "Argh...you fools, it's supposed to be a one on one fight!" their leader shouted in a frustrated manner. However, to his surprise...Rein was able to dodge the first few swings of the kendo attacks, before making two of them his own by pulling the sticks while making a kick to each of their owners. And with his new weapons, Rein made short work of the remaining followers. The rain soon started…with the fall of the last opposing kendo stick, and Rein felt his heart being flooded by the emotions that came with it. Closing his eyes, he began meditating... "Rain? Not impressed." Their leader commented as he approached quickly towards Rein. "Oh? Then allow me to enlighten you." Rein replied as he opened his eyes and gave a cold hard stare, before defending himself with one of the kendo sticks he held backwards. Immediately after that, he began his attack swiftly with the kendo stick he held upright…but all swings were easily blocked. "So...what's your name big shot? I see that your no push over..." Rein taunted as he retreated back to await an attack. "It's Kain, Kain Slasfer. And don’t think you'll win just because you hold two sticks." The leader confidently replied as he charged forward, thrusting his stick with such a great might that the rain drops could be seen breaking into mist. Realizing the technique was based on brute force, Rein gave a grin before countering the attack by changing the direction of the thrust with an upwards swing of his backwards stick. And a side-wards swing launched by a kick into the ground. The swing forced Kain flying into the air, but quickly landing on his feet. "Like I said before...not impressed." He taunted in an assuring manner as he revealed that the blow didn’t hurt him at all...apparently his stick had came just in time to block the impact. Rein gave a slight smile, it had been a long time since he had gotten into a good fight...as most of the time his battles were simply against just punks who think that they can fight just because they can throw a punch. "Well then...I guess it’s time to show you why...they call me Rain."

Tilting his feet forward and closing his eyes, Rein's body slowly moved forward without needing to lift a leg. It resembled moonwalking but without all the moving of the thighs and moon walking is usually done backwards. However, though as odd as it looked...Kain was once more not impressed as Rein was moving too slowly for the feat to be threatening. Soon Rein began making his move, just as he opened his eyes...his body looked as though it had shot straight towards Kain. Stunned by the speed, Kain couldn't react fast enough...and was slammed hard in the stomach by a kendo stick. The forceful impact combined with the incredible speed, sent Kain flying towards the school flag post. However, Kain seemed to be quick on his feet as he regained his balance in mid-air and sent himself rocketing towards Rein by rebounding from the flag post. Rein quickly reacted by sending himself shooting towards the side, barely dodging the thrusting kendo stick. As Kain came in contact with the ground, his kendo stick burst into millions of itty-bitty pieces. The impact also caused the raindrops around him to burst into a refreshing mist of water splashing on to his face. Looking back at the pieces of wood...Rein made a slight smile again. "Nice...very nice. Now...if only you can control the movement of your power in mid air." Rein advised as he threw his other kendo stick to Kain. Surprised by his foe’s gift, Kain grinned and replied to him in a confident manner. "This time...I won't miss."

However, before they could start it up again...a voice from behind them interrupted. "You don't have to...this fight is over. Unless any of you wishes to feel my wrath." The young man who shouted wore a loose tie, and crystal clear blue shades. His lightly colored black hair was messy, but oddly it gave him his own style. He also wore a white-collar shirt and brown jeans. Slowly, he stood between them and gave the both a welcoming glare.

"Whose that?"

"Oh him...he's nobody, just the president of the student council."

"Oh...I see. Is he popular with the girls?" Reina asked jokingly as she saw a bunch of cheerleaders gathering while shouting out the name "Wrath! Wrath! Wrath!"

"Well...see for yourself. And yes, I know what you're going to ask next...they call him wrath because he likes to boast about his. Basically, the ladies like him...and the guys hate him. Hah."

"Kain...I thought you knew better then this...no fighting on school grounds."

"I don't need your nagging Wrath...besides, your way of welcoming new students is no better..." Kain argued back as he withdrew his kendo stick while waiting for Wrath to deliver his welcoming gift. And soon enough, a mighty punch was thrown straight into Rein’s stomach. "Heh, I almost forgot." Wrath commented as he watched Rein almost falling to his knees.

The pain was almost unbearable to take and still stand. However it wasn't the first time that Rein had felt such a powerful punch…so it didn't came as quite a shock. He barely stood firmly where he was and commented to Wrath, "Nice...yours powerful too..."

"You aren't so bad yourself kid...now...do want to stand here all day or do you want to go back home without visiting the principle?" Wrath calmly asked as he took out his cell phone and was prepared to make a call to the principle if needed.

Rein quickly realized that there was no way of continuing this fight without putting him in trouble…and decided to take the second option, but before he did…he launched a powerful punch back towards Wrath. Sending him flying towards Kain. "A punch for a punch..." he said as he slowly made his way towards the school gate on the upper floor. However, before he could reach there he had to pass by Suiku...and as he did they exchanged eye contact with each other...as if sending a message to the other.

"I sense fear within you."

"You got to be kidding me."
