Jane was perched up on the spirit tree. Her white wings relaxed, as the wind pass through her groomed feathers. On another branch, laid the resting Jinko. Sleeping softly. She smiles...just a little bit and she'll tell him how she truly feels.
...
FOXXY: Ever had a crush on someone? Like you know...a crush crush? Or hear me out...ever liked someone so much?
HARRY: Hmmm...seriously though, I don't. I sometimes joke about it, but I really don't feel that kind of pull yet... And I don't think I have the time to. I just think some are cute but...there's no attraction at all. Wait...why ask?
FOXXY: Oh, it's because I can see a lot of attracted female reapers roaming around you lately, pretty close too. You seem popular.
HARRY: *smirks* Yeah...
FOXXY: Hehhe. Guess I'm lucky. I'm with Mr. Famous.
HARRY: You bet you are! By the way...hmmm...what's your back ground like?
FOXXY: So, we're talking about deaths here?
HARRY: Uh...yeah?
FOXXY: Mmm...I just remembered the feeling of...drowning.
HARRY: Oh! Okay, okay...wait...the puppeteer already told me that one, why do I ask surprised?
FOXXY: Heh, and oh! Should I tell you about my love life?
HARRY: Nah. Those kind of things bore me. Wait...you have a boyfriend?
FOXXY: Nope. We broke up. So it's ex...
HARRY: Um...okay?
FOXXY: Actually we broke up while he was driving drunk and I guess it sure was a bad idea to tell a guy it's over when you're on the road...then we fell of a cliff and I unbuckled his seatbelt to at least save him... Since I...I feel guilty. My best friend loves him so he needs to live, ya know?
HARRY: That's messed up girl.
FOXXY: You bet.
HARRY: And your real name?
FOXXY: Fae. Fae Fox.
HARRY: Then I'll call you that. Foxxy makes you sound like a meany.
FOXXY: I actually like that nickname. I thought it was badass.
HARRY: So you're not weirded out that your captor was the one who named you that way?
FOXXY: Um...I once had a locket that literally have the name Foxxy written on it.
HARRY: Oh. So...no troubles? No traumas?
FOXXY: Hey, it's over now. And it's pretty cool too. I get to be immortal!
HARRY: Mmm... (damn she's weirdly too honest)
FOXXY: So...um...am I talking too much?
HARRY: Oh no...you talk less than my bro's girlfriend.
FOXXY: Who? Humility?
HARRY: Nah, he doesn't have one. He's a coward when it comes to his crush. But he'll get there...when end of the world comes.
FOXXY: Oh...how sad.
HARRY: I'm talking about Red and Gabby. Gabby was much more talkative. Red talks to me about her stories and bruh, you can write a novel with all her bablings and stuff.
FOXXY: Wait...um...who is Gabby again? Isn't she the human you're supposed to protect? I heard it from somewhere.
HARRY: Yeah, right.
FOXXY: A human and a spirit?
HARRY: Well, not exactly lovers but eh, they look like two peps head over heels for each other. I've never seen Red blush that hard when talking about a girl. He seems more vulnerable too. He lost his cool and stuff. But that's a good thing. He seems happier lately.
FOXXY: Mmm...but she'll die. And we won't.
HARRY: Yeah...that's sad, hm? I just don't want to think about it for now. Let my bro be happy. That person has went through a lot...
FOXXY: I can tell...*looks down*
HARRY: Mmm...but at least he's happy for now. And you too, find another reason to he happy, okay?
FOXXY: Yeah! After all, no one can break my heart anymore!
HARRY: Um, we, can still get our hearts broken you know? We're immortal, but not numb.
FOXXY: Oh...that sucks then. So if I get to have my heart broken...I'd feel it for eternity...and I can't kill the person who did it to me?!
HARRY: Geez...you're right...maybe that's why Humility acts that way...he's careful.
FOXXY: Heheheh.
HARRY: You have good eyes though. Such a cute shade of blue!
FOXXY: Blue?
HARRY: Why?
FOXXY: My eyes were actually orange! Like the sunset!
HARRY: ...
FOXXY: Why was it blue?!
HARRY: Hey, it's not like you're not pretty with it blue...I guess your original eyes got dissolved by water and the puppeteer has to replace it.
FOXXY: Oh...it sucks. How come I can still see?
HARRY: Um...the puppeteer has her own tricks.
FOXXY: Oh...damn this is all so confusing!
HARRY: Yup! You'll get used to it. So don't be sad, okay?
FOXXY: I won't!
HARRY: Great! Oi, do you like to play games?
FOXXY: Well, it kinda depends, you know?
HARRY: Great! Now play with me. Because Vixen don't wanna.
FOXXY: Oh, su..sure. What's the game?
...
Red heard the alarm on Gabby's phone. She overslept again. Geez. He quickly knocked on her door but she didn't respond. He knocked again, and there was still no response.
Damn it Gabby, he told himself. She's late for work...again. She overslept...again!
He teleported unto her room and he felt a warm sensation creep through his body after seeing Gabby dressing up, her back, legs and neck showing. Gabby only wears a tight short, and her bra. That gave him the full look of her curves. She have her headphones on, and she seemed rather unaware that he was there. He teleports quickly back to the living room.
Quiet.
Shocked.
And confused.
Gabby comes out after three minutes. Fully ready for work. She was confused of why he feels so...tensed?
GABBY: *pats his back* Hey! You okay?
RED: Uh! Y-yeah...um hey...next time can...can you wake up earlier? Or at...at least tell me when you wake up?
GABBY: Why?
RED: Um...just because? By the way it's getting late, let's go!
GABBY: *smiles* Okay then. What's with the red face, though?
RED: Nah. I just feel a little hot.
GABBY: Do spirits get sick?
RED: Maybe.
GABBY: Want meds?
RED: Nah, I'm good.
GABBY: Oh, right! I'm getting paid a lot more because our anime series are getting popular! I was informed it rose its rank to the top 10! So I'll buy a lot of stuff! Mind helping me arrange the furniture?
RED: I'm your guard. Not your...
GABBY: Please...
RED: Ugh fine. You win. But ladybug you do know that you might need that money in the future, right?
GABBY: Nah. I'm saving some for the said future and I'm buying things that I want too. Making myself happy ain't wrong, right? Plus, I really want to buy a new table! That table sucks! *points at wooden table on the living room*
RED: Er...okay.
...
Jinko smiles, and looks up at Jane.
JINKO: Later...after he leaves her...let's get her quick, okay? It's been some months since we last attacked I'm sure he've loosen his guard a bit.
JANE: Yeah...
JINKO: I'm so excited!
JANE: But...what's the point?
JINKO: *looks at her* What?
JANE: Humility is on his side. Is it worth it? Worth wasting our flare and wings for a girl?
JINKO: I thought you're with me.
JANE: Yeah. I'm still with you. But...
JINKO: We'll never lose! Not this time!
JANE: *face softens* Jinko...
JINKO: Hm?
JANE: What if I tell you...to stop already! I keep sensing...danger everytime we're near him! I don't want to lose you!
JINKO: Jane?! Quit being a crybaby! I won't die! Especially now that I know Humility's past life...
JANE: Yes. We may have managed to trick the memory fairy to having acquired his weakness...in a cause of...of your 3 oldest collections but still...I'm...I'm nervous... What if...he becomes...
JINKO: Nah. He'll probably melt like butter and become weak and stuff. Lighten up. Where's the Jane from the first time we encountered Gabby and Red, hm? You were to drag her to our base, and even fought with Humility.
JANE: He's taking easy on us, Jinko!
JINKO: If you don't wanna go, then don't! Ugh!
JANE: I'll be with you no matter what, Jinko! But...please...listen to me...just this time...
JINKO: *face softens* Jane...I've never lost before, okay? And I won't... So just...chill out. I won't let this hurt my pride...
...
Everything felt...quick.
Gabby felt defenseless again. As soon as she walked away from her apartment, she felt herself being a dizzy mess. And distant voices coming closer. She can smell a strong scent of wood and feathers...
And could feel her body starting to be dragged until a place she could never know.
Until she hears the voice of her saviour.
She felt motivated to stand up, and try to escape her captors. Until they were all brought to another dimension. She felt surreal at what she saw. It was vast...colorful...but empty.
GABBY: HELP ME! *she screams as she tried to free herself*
RED: Let her go you annoying prick!
GABBY: RED!!!
RED: Oh darn you! *summons Humility*
HUMILITY: You two again?
RED: Well, this two seem to have been watching us! Good thing I detected them before they were away!
HUMILITY: You go with the female jinx. I'll go with the male one.
RED: Oh...okay!
HUMILITY: ...it's show time!
JINKO: Well I bagged a surprise for ya. In exchange of my feathers I managed to learn a new technique.
HUMILITY: So you're flightless as of now?
JINKO: Nope. I cheat, like I always do. Poor demon didn't had a chance to realize those were ordinary feathers. Oh! And here's it! Check it out for me! *snaps fingers*
Jinko creates an illusion, that envelopes Humility's mind with oblivion. And only his voice can be heard.
HUMILITY: What is this, Jinko?
JINKO: Just wait for it.
Flashes of Humility's memories were scattered, voices of crying and agony terrorizes the silence.
HUMILITY: MAKE IT STOP!
JINKO: Make me...Brylle...
Jinko managed to sneak a hit on Humility in the real world, as his body was still paralyzed by the illusion.
JINKO: I can only use this illusion once so might as well make it worth it...
Jinko continues to hit and throw Humility away, which shocked Red, who by then was still fighting with Jane. Both seem to be at awe watching how the powerful being was being beaten up by Jinko.
JANE: He's done it...his plan...worked.
RED: Humility...no!
JANE: Wait...Jinko! JINKO WATCH OUT!
