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...

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.
"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.
Sunday, October 30, 2005
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
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 there 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. For this is...the 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...]

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
