I hear the sounds of people screaming and yelling at each other in a dark, lighted room that has torches around it and looks like a long hallway.
I can't move nor see who they are; all I can hear is the arguing, and it just gets louder and starts gradually sounding more demonic.
"ARE YOU HAPPY?, Was it really all worth it?"-??
COUGH
My chest was in pain; I look around and only see that I'm in my room, not what I saw in my dream, so I decided I'll just dismiss it. I get up and grab the sword that was left with me; it has a white hue, and the handle has a ritual sign embed on it.
I remembered being told this sword could bring both hope and death. I can't seem to remember who told me, though. I know the sword was given to me a by a stranger in a black cloak.
I get up and change into my outfit. "I guess I'll just wear this," I say to myself outloud
I look at the clock. "OH SHIT, IT'S 2 PM, I HAVE A MEETING!" I yelled
I rushed over to the meeting place, a restaurant called Sueyoshi, some female called Izanami, gave me a letter to meet her there yesterday; she supposedly said she would tell me something interesting about my sword.
It seems there is a 10% sale at this restaurant today. I entered the restaurant and looked around; it had a nice wood-stained floor, and everyone was talking at different tables. It looked like a long place to walk around to
"Hey, over here!" she shouted
I walk over to see a tall lady with long white hair and what seems to be pale skin; she seems like a ghost, yet she's oddly beautiful. I sit down; the table has a nice red color in the middle and brown surrounding it. I look up at her
"So how are you?" Izanami says in a soft voice
"I'm alright, so are we going to discuss the thing you brought me here for?" I said
"Oh right, sorry, well, you see that sword." She said
"Yes" I replied
"Were you ever told it held life or death or something of the sort?" She asked,
her eyes look like they have an endless gaze.
"Yes, I was, but I can't seem to remember who told me." I said
I can't seem to take my eyes off her, although I want to rush out; she seems beautiful but has a scary presence.
"Oh, good, does it have this sign?" She said cheerfully, She raises her hand, and it shows the exact same symbol as on the sword. I feel a chill run through my body.
"Yes, that's the symbol." I said
"What can you tell me about it?" I said quickly
"Slow down, don't worry, I'll tell you all you want." She said
"Now that symbol is the key, or rather, the weapon with that symbol is the key to unlocking all desires and the greatest wishes." She says
"Like what?" I say quickly
"I feel the blood rushing through my body; it feels like this is going to help or let me know what I can do with it; I feel like I have to know."I said to myself
"Well, it can rewrite the world to make you the most powerful being, and other stuff; I can't say too much," she says while simling and slowly reaching out her hand to mine; her hand feels cold and hot at the same time.
"Well, can you just say why you can't tell me?" I say
"Come sit on my side next to me." She speaks softly
As I come over to her side and sit down, she pulls me into what looks like a hug. She then whispers into my ear, "Here's the symbol you need, and you will need all weapons with different symbols to use this place. I hope you have fun, darling."- she said softly
I wake up with chills going through my body, and I see I'm in my room again. I look at the back of my hand and see the same symbol as the one on my sword printed on the back of my hand. My memory seems hazy of the events that happened before; all I can remember is that some women pulled me in, then it got dark, and now it seems I ended up here. I got her red lipstick on my face. "What the fuck happened?" I said to myself. I turn around and sees the clock; "it's 9 p.m.; how long was I out?" I say loudly, I get up and grab my sword.
"OUCH! "What the fuck was that?" I said, I look at my hand, and the symbol glows white. I decide to get out of my house as quickly as I can and look to see if the lady is out there. "I should go back to the restaurant, and see if I can find out more." I went and found the same seats, but she wasn't there this time though, but I saw a letter and picked it up; it had a ribbon around it. I opened the letter, and it said,
"Go find the other weapons; each has an owner." "I suggest you enjoy the journey if you want to meet me again." -Izanami
I walk out of the store, and I hear screaming, "What's your desire?" -???
I see the sword appear in my hand, and my hand burns, but I can't let it go. "What's your desire?" -????? , it keeps repeating itself, and I drop the sword, and my hand stops glowing, and I throw myself into the bushes I ran to. "What the fuck was that?" I say to myself. I turn around and see the sword has disappear, and my hand still hurts. I keep walking, and I decide to go into this plaza and run to a seat and sit down and try to calm down. "Look at them, aren't they weak?" -????
I felt like someone was at my side. I turned around and saw nothing.
I thought to myself
"Am I going insane?, I'm seeing and hearing things, right?"
"Yo Hakumei, how have you been?" some person asks
"AOI, where have you been?, I haven't heard from you since two years ago." I say
"I've been busy, as you can see; I have a job at this plaza."Aoi says
"I guess we both ended up in the same city since the last time I moved was during our sophomore year." Aoi said
"Last I heard you got into a fight after a left" Aoi said smiling
"Yeah, I was a violent kid back then, wasn't I?, I remember I used to get in a lot of fights back then." I said simling
"Yeah, and you were kind of an impatient kid." Aoi says laughing
"I still probably am." I chuckle while saying this
"Yeah, remember that fight during freshman year, where some kid was flipping you off, and you fucking went nuts on him, going as far as smashing his face into the ground and stomping on him?" Aoi says
"Yeah, then I got suspended for 3 weeks and missed a lot of shit and had to catch up." I said
"I say, well yeah, it's been a long time. I had a good time catching up with you. Enjoy the rest of your life." Aoi says, he squeezes my arm and walks away.
"I wonder why he squeezed my arm," I said to myself
"I guess I'll just go back home," I say to myself. Then for somereason I start to wander mindlessly to a park without knowing. "Oh shit, not this place. I used to go here everytime my parents used to argue and I stopped going here to stop remembering them. My parents ended up abandoning me after I still have no idea why." I say to myself in my head
I sat down on the swing and looked up and saw the stars, and I saw the same symbol on my hand as I saw in the stars: "I can't get a break, can I?" I started to laugh to myself while saying this, then I saw a shadowy figure and it started to make noise and came out of the branches in the park.
