The
winner is Sara!
(I haven't
drawn the request yet, so gomenasai)
Minna-san,
ogenki desu ka?
Today I
have no school!!
(No, I
didn't get sick)
My Ankle
Although,
I am extremely cautious when it comes to things like getting kidnapped, I'm
very clumsy.
Yesterday,
like all days I got to the Boys & Girls' club. The club has a van that
picks up everyone from school. Unlike everyone else, when we arrive at the
club, everyone rushes out, however I am always waiting, until the last person
leaves, and then I go out.
When I
walked out my ankle was unsteadily like always and I nearly tripped. I was able
to catch my balance, but not before my ankle was injured. Don't worry, I can
still walk and I can hide it from all of the people there. Only my brother
knows. My ankle is healing slowly, so that's good news.
Surprise
Surprise!
I
decided to give out part of the story of Assassination+!
Sakura
is my character. She is a powerful tricky and harsh girl. She is a kuudere. Her
outfit she tends to wear is a short kimono. Her logic i never to ever be wrong,
because she is a mastermind. She does most things by hand and is very formal.
She almost never relies on machines and others. She only speaks
when needed to. Her hair is long and is done with two polished sticks
Sakura's pastime
(Sakura pov):
Because of this disease of mine, I was despised. As my family's
free servant, I did everything, even though it was challenging. Even if I was
going to breathe my final breath any second. That old man of mine got drunk
every day resulting into torturing me. That woman made me do all of her work.
My sisters and brothers treated me like a slave. I only ate a few snacks a day.
At school no one liked me. Bullied every day, starved every day, worked every
day, tortured every day, suffering every day, pitied every day. When will it
stop?
Day after day was a horrifying restless day. When the woman and
my old man consumed all of the money we had, accusing me I was forced to go get
a job, but why would anyone hire a 5 year old diseased girl that was detested
all throughout village?
Racing all over the village I
eventually come across a scientist, named Kana who would pay a great deal of
money for a test subject for an experiment. I was employed to this occupation.
Bring
back the money after agreeing, I gazed at the satisfied looks on that awful family.
Skipping school I hustled to the Kana’s lab. She put a tiny tattoo on my body.
I drank a chemical mix she handed to me of a mix of BaSO4, SO2Cl2 , TeBr2, and HC12H17ON4SCl2.Shooting a quick glance to her after
the tests, she was jotting down the results. “Nothing on the subject changed”,
she told another scientist. Stepping out of the lab, I had felt relived.
The
subsequent day, I was sold, sold to a stranger. The following hour I was put in
chains. Here I would work. Working with no escape from this unknown company I
was put in. That day I realized how naïve I’ve been thinking someday I’d be
happy. Other children besides me had the same expression I did working as a
slave on chains, agony, pain, misery, distress, sorrow. There was no joy in our
lives. Why did it have to be this way? Why was life so dreadful?
3 years have passed. The disease created many problems for me,
however I endured it. I had gotten well-built from working and carrying many
tremendous loads. The work got effortless for me as time passed. I felt as if I
were a super human. Once a few more months passed I decided to take action for
once, instead of being pushed around. I broke off the chains of mine and
everyone’s, while our master’s were away. I fractured the wall at ease. How was
this possible? Us slaves fled and went our separate ways. It shouldn’t be
achievable for me to do that, but how did I do it?
Living in the forest near a waterfall was my new daily life. The
disease no longer affected me as much. Impossible! I thought that every day.
Impossible, impossible, impossible! How did these miracles ever happen to me? Such
things couldn’t exist. Nothing in my life was ever decent, so why is this
happening? Life is only torment, not a happy fairy tale, so why? My mind
pondered at this question for a few more hours, until I considered the fact
that the chemicals may have gone to have an effect on me years later it entered
my body.
Once I heard human footsteps I hid. The footsteps were faint as
if it was from 10.294827 miles away. The person was alone. What was an idiot
doing in the deep dangerous forest unaccompanied. Taking a closer peek, I
reckon it was a boy. I presume he was 11 years old. I began calculating and
evaluating him. He has no fear of wild animals and has killed. I only estimated
this for he was calm. He can’t be just stupidly wandering with no purpose, if
it’s this deep in the forest. His came without supplies. I don’t understand
why. Is he so foolish to believe he can survive. Tch. If I were his mother, I’d
sure give him a big scolding.
The tattoo on his right shoulder matched mine. He’s a test
experiment like me. Was he looking for his own kind? The chemical must have
given him some sort of power like mine, since he came to this area unarmed. He
swiftly and silently dashed everywhere. He is definitely is looking for me. My
eyes can determine his pace to be an average of 1126 steps per a minute. He’s
slow. My average pace is 1643 steps per minute.
He shouldn’t be able to notice my presence. It would take him 8.8809946714 minutes to get to where I am. With the trees in
the way, 2.5920245 minutes longer. He isn’t going straight to my way, so
36.4952501 minutes to notice me and 5.395868 minutes to come to me. That’s a
total of 53.3641372714 minutes to find me, unless if I move elsewhere. I wasn’t wrong of course. It did take
him 53.3641372714 minutes to find me. I look
at him disappointed that he didn’t find me any sooner.
“Hey, aren’t you one
of us?”, his exclaimed.
“Aren’t you an
idiot? It took you nearly an hour just to find me. You weak,” I insulted him.
“If you’re going in the deep area of a forest you should at least bring
supplies and other people.”
“Pfft. I don’t need
to. Why the hell are you here?”
“Been living here
for 4 months. Unlike you I don’t have a place to go back to”
“Then you can come
with me”
“Why the hell should
I trust you?”
“What would I do?
Just cause I’m strong doesn’t mean I’d hurt a little girl”
“Humph. Hurt a
little girl? You’re weak. Your pace is 1126 steps per a minute. It took you 53.3641372714
minutes to find me,” I said rather coldly. “Your steps are extremely loud. You
would attract too much attention to wildlife that way. You may be strong or
not, but you have no self-awareness of your surroundings at all.”
“Well, you’re a
harsh kid. I’m here just to find my twin brother Atsuya”
“No one else is here
in a 100,000 mile radius. You came here without a thought, didn’t you?”
“How should I know?”
“Humph. You’re
determined, yet you didn’t use your brain. What’s your name?”
“Niki, Tatsuya is my
name. You should be less rude to people”
“Idiot. Why would
you give your name to a stranger?”
“Because you asked
me! It would be rude not to.”
“Rude or not you
were Irrational to do so. How thoughtless”
“Are you going with
me or not!” He snapped.
“You’d be only
trouble for me”
“Find I’ll go damn
it. Yesh”
“There’s a child
570,937.49639 miles west from here. He may be your brother”
“Wai-“
I disappeared into
the shadows unseen, before he finished his words. He was left there a bit
confused, yet he went on his way. I did my first smile. To think there was nice
humans. I used to find most people distasteful. Good luck you imprudent boy.
From that day, it’s
been three years. I decided to let go of my past and to head off to the city. I
race past multiple villages. One mile left.
Ahh, the city. The
birds chirped. Students riding on bikes to school. It was like paradise. The
pleasant smell of sakura delighted me. The streets flawless unlike my hometown.
It must have been 7:00a.m. I quickly glanced at my newly sewed kimono. Most
were wearing clothes of the west. Did I stand out too much? Many faces I’ve
never seen before stole glances at me. Maybe it was because I looked like a
lost child. No, I didn’t. I like I was 14 years old. It was because I wasn’t in
a school uniform like all of the other kids.
“Hey are you lost
kid?”, said a familiar face. “Come with me.”
“No thank you. I’m
very fine,” I replied politely.
There was no mistake
of it. It was Atsuya. Tatsuya’s hair was darker than his. He had an evil aura
around him. I whispered closely in his ear as I passed him.
“Humph. I’ll break
your neck the next time I see you tricking a kid, got it”
He blinked a twice
surprised. He must have not expected this. A wicked smile came across his face.
I did the same. We were thinking of the same thought. This kid got some guts.
Tatsuya ran up to
Atsuya, however he ran as slow as an average teen. He was giving a scolding to
Atsuya for trying to trick kids. I hid behind them within the shadows.
“That girl is
interesting. She’s thoroughly brave enough to tell me she’d break my neck for
tricking another kid. That’s cute, isn’t it?”
“She said that? She
doesn’t look like she’s a citizen form here. I remember every face in this
island. Her clothing looks too expensive to be a street kid”
“Eh. This makes her
sound like more fun”
“We’re not going to
assault her”
“Oh is that so,
Tatsuya and Atsuya,” I said outside when I stepped outside of the shadows.
“How do you know our
names,” Tatsuya uttered bewildered.
“He he,” I giggled
sticking my tongue out.
“Heh. You know who
we are. Looks like she’s a threat, so we can kill her,” Atsuya smirked.
“We should get all
of the information out of her first,” Tatsuya suggested.
“Boring,” Atsuya
commented.
“Oh, you don’t to
worry about me, you former test subjects. Aren’t you going to be late for
school,” I chimed in.
“Shit! I am late for
school” Squeaked Tatsuya.
“He He,” I giggled.
“I don’t care. Let’s
kill her first. She’s got dirt on us,” insisted Atsuya.
“Yeah. Try to kill
me in public,” I joked
“Atsuya, you
distract her, while I get the teachers,” Tatsuya said telepathically.
“Why can’t we fight
her?”
“Just do it”
“Fine”
I pretended to look
confused and not to be able to her them. Let them think they’re winning for
now.
“Hmm. You two are
quite silent. No matter, you can’t beat me,” I interrupted.
Tatsuya sped with a
pace of 20 steps per minute to look alike a regular boy.
The Atsuya and I
moved to an empty alley way. The fume of the alley was similar to my slave factory. The graffiti distinctive
colors and handwriting reminded me of the streets in my hometown. The trash
plasters the filthy polluted concrete. He was the first to strike with his
fist, creating a forceful wind along with it. I sidestep to evade.
(Tatsuya Pov.)
In
a flash, I barged in the office. The teacher’s gave me a raging glare.
“Would
you care to explain this?” asked the principal firmly.
“A threat! A girl is
tremendously suspicious! She knew my and Atsuya’s name! She is not in the
database of this island either! Atsuya is buying us time!”
“You’re excused for
your behavior. Track Atsuya now”
“Yes sir!”, replied
the assistant principal.
“As for you,
Tatsuya, you’re coming with us”
“I understand”, I
stated.
We waited for about
2.354 minutes to track Atsuya down. Once he was found, the three of us and two
other teachers darted to the location, an alley way.
(Sakura Pov)
He was no good in
fighting. I dodged every jab easily. It was child’s play for me. I giggled at
his frustration. I didn’t fight back at all, even so, he couldn’t win this
fight.
“Your teachers and
Tatsuya is coming here in 2.49572502 minutes,” I informed.
“Oh, is that so? You
were able to listen to our telepathic conversation. You’re another test
subject, aren’t you?”
“Oh, you didn’t know
that when I am dodging every single attacks of yours”
“You damn bastard!”
“He he”
“I’ll make sure you
won’t be able to giggle after this”
“Let’s see then”
He’s reckless like
Tatsuya. The more I angered him, the hastier he fought.
“Oh my, looks like I have more company”
“So, you’re the threat, huh. I can’t sense
much power from you. You would be a D level threat,” the man concluded.
“This is my
principal. Just look at the trouble you caused us,” Tatsuya implied.
“You went to the
trouble for me. It’s an honor then,” I chuckled.
“Don’t think you can
beat the six of us,” warned a woman, who I would guess to be a teacher.
“I’d just give you the
same warning,” I cautioned.
These people are
careless to think they can beat me like this, if they couldn’t tell I’m hiding
my power, so I wouldn’t expose it to other test subjects.
“Let’s see what will
be the turn of fun events then,” I assured.
The principal begins
with a bullet from a pistol shooting aimed at the center of my heart. I slash
it without delay in a symmetrical half. I grinned. The teachers go all out on
me. One attempts to slice me. Another tries to smash my head on the walls. I promptly
dance to avoid the attacks. At once, I can see Tatsuya pointing arrows at me,
while Atsuya is abruptly endeavor to cut me with his sword. I prevent an ample
of blows with my katana.
It’s been 11 hours,
36 minutes, and 35.39 seconds, however the fight is still continuing. The twins
are drained. The principal is still shooting at me, intensely. The number of
teachers increases significantly. Now there is 20 teachers in one alley way. They
all try their best to not kill me. No one dares to go and watch, interrupt, or
set bets on the fight.
I could see how much
they’re struggling, but the truth is, I’m going to get weary soon. The
principal orders to stop the fighting.
“Why?” many teachers
and the twins ask confused.
“She hasn’t fought
back even once. What is your purpose?” the principal asked.
“Oh, I was here to
see if Tatsuya Niki found his twin three years ago,” I replied. “Looks like he
doesn’t remember me though.”
“You were that
girl!” gasped Tatsuya.
“What girl?”
demanded Atsuya.
“Let us get this
situation sorted out in the school,” the principal broke in.
“Alright, Mr.
Principal,” I agreed.
At the school
Tatsuya explained it all. The school looked like a normal high school, just a
bit bigger. The inside of the school was shiny hallways. The windows sparkled.
“Three years ago, I
was lost in the forest looking for Atsuya. I found her and talked to her. She
suggested me to go west 570,937 miles and so I did and found Atsuya and we got
out of the forest,” Tatsuya explained.
The principal nodded
slightly.
“I see,” he said.
“Since, you are a test subject like all of us, won’t you join the school?”
“Of course,” I
replied.
This is the start of
my new life. I can leave my past and move forward now. Life isn’t only about
agony, because it has cheerful moments. I’m ready for what lies ahead of me.
Did you guys like it? Saruchii's character has a pastime too, but you'd have to ask for her permission to put her story up. I might change bits of my story, because mine doesn't match Saruchii's. Or maybe we can have you awesome people give us suggestions.
