I put in a little bit of Romanised Japanese into my writings to make it a little different. If you are unfamiliar with some of the phrases or words, they are readily translated for you in the beginning of every post.

Millennium War, Chapter 4

Decision 2
Zenzen - Not at all
Ima itta yō ni - Like I said
Hai - Yes
Omedatō - Congrats
Mazu - Firstly
Dai - Secondly
Saigo - Lastly
Hontōni - Really
Watashi wa matte iru yo - I'll be waiting
Kimiwarui - Creepy

...
"Wha...what in the world do you mean by...blood stain...nine hundred and ninety nine years-"

"A millennium, please. It's easier to say that than nine hundred and ninety nine years."

WHATEVER! I mean, NO ONE can LIVE for a whole nine hun-...millennium years!

"Still, it makes no sense to me, ZENZEN!"

"Well, seeing that you have made 'some kind' of contact with the Other world, I suggest you say 'Yes' or 'I accept my fate'."

"Mo-more info please?"

"Well~ to put it bluntly, if you say 'No' or 'Wait, let me think about it', you JUST might die by this week. Sad, I know."

Just? Die? This week? SAD?

"Ima itta yō ni, I~DON'T-"

"Alright~alright~though you'll know everything during history class. You see, this Other world consist of three factions, White, Black, and Green. You could also call them Holy, Evil, and Nature; I know, Nature does not fit but everyone had no idea besides 'nature' to represent the colour green-"

Try 'Vomit'...

"-then there are the 'Parent'; the ones who chooses, gives and guides their 'Children'. Children are people with the power of Imagination, and all the Parent have to do is amplify it."

"So you're saying that...that YOU are a...Parent?"

"Hai~"

"And that I am a...Children?"

"Omedatō~you're a fast learner, but since we're talking just about you, Child."

You 'KINDA' tend to understand faster when making a 'life and death' decision...

"Well then, after that, Children will need to train and become stronger, or their strongest, with what was given before the end of the year."

"What happens...at...the end...of the year..."

"War, duh. A war between the three factions and their Children. A war that last from sunset to midnight. A war where nearly everyone dies. A free-for-all war."

War? More dying? Why do people have die so much?!

"What we Parents' gives, your power to Imagine, Parent status and reasons for the war; I'll tell you all during our training. Meaning, you will have to say 'Yes'"

"And...and why will I die-"

"Might~"

"...might die if I say no or ask for some time to decide?"

"Mazu, cause you know of our existence. Dai, there is a reason why you were asked to become a Child; maybe because you have something that others do not if you were chosen, an attribute per-say. Saigo, similar to the previous one, you are definitely going to be a trump card for the faction you join."

"And...which am I in?"

"Find out yourself, kid. Want a cigar? People tend to do things they never wanted to do knowing Death is on their doorsteps."

No sh*t.

"Hmp, I'm not that pathetic you know."

"Why do you think I want to chose YOU? I know you well; and saying that I know you will ask for some time to decide."

"...One last question...what...what will happen to me and my REAL parents if I say yes?"

"Good~question~Well, you and the other Children will be 'mysteriously' moved to another world. Don't ask how or where, it's a secret between Parents. But before that, the Child will need to create a figment or duplicate themselves."

"Duplicate ourselves?"

"Yeah, try to imagine what will happen if you were to go missing for a whole year then coming back?"

"..."

"Yeah. This figment will then carry out tasks the way you would normally handle it. It will have every trait of yours, down to the very growth of hair and the slang you use."

"Wait...you said that...I'll be away for a whole year? Then come back?"

"You heard right~, you'll be having a new school life over there. If you manage to survive the war, you'll be allowed to go back home for some time before going back to the Other world again. Oh, yeah, one more thing, your figment's attitude will depend on your current attitude AND if you die, it dies."

Hontōni, do I even have a choice?

"...fine...give...me...a few days to decide..."

Saying that, he gives the BIGGEST and most CREEPIEST smile anyone would ever imagine.

"Wa~tashi wa~ matte~ iru...yo~"

I can't believe that it's still this cold; it's already February.

"Well, the weather reporters did say that winter's gonna last longer than usual."

.Te warui koto ni, the heater in my room has gone bad; it's like a freezer.

"Seeing how long this weather might last, I guess I should buy a third-hand heater for my room. Hmm~ should I go to an appliance store or a 1000 yen store..."

..One of my fathers friends is an owner of an appliance store, maybe he can give me some discount.

"Appliance store it is!"

...Since my new school is further down the road to the appliance store, maybe I should see if Eva-chan is doing any activity.

".....stalker much....."

* * * * * *

*Gring~ring~ring*

"Kon'nichi-w-wa?"

Sore wa kimazui, there's barely anyone here...matter of fact, from what I can see, it's only the cashier(looks familiar...), a person reading a magazine and me.

"Ah!~ Kon'nichiwa, Haruto-kun. What brings you here early in the morning~desu?

A new worker perhaps, but she knows me huh? Well, we could have been schoolmates, seeing how young she looks.

"...Mi...mi..... Mimi? MIMI!!! Genkidesuka?"

"Yeap! I'm doing fine~desu! But, Haruto-kun, you forgot who I am right?"

No!!!....well....yeah...

"After all, you 'were' staring at my name tag~desu."

"Ehehe, anata ga mitsuketa?"

Busted...

*Hit on the head with a newspaper*

"HMF~ How could a man forget a girls name, especially one that sits right next to you!?! PLUS~, it has only been a month since we finished middle school~desu!"

Sat right next to me...

"Ts-ts-tsuno-yo? That's right! Miki Tsunoyo! NOW I remember! Why didn't you say that earlier!"

"You saw my name tag and only remembered who I am when I said I sat next to you? Hen'na~desu."

"Gommen!"

"Mou~oh~! You're soo predictable, Haruto-kun. Nani shitemo, what do you want? Oyeah, just to warn you-"

She arches her body over the counter and whispers

"-try to evade the guy reading the magazine; he looks like one of the criminals I saw in the newspapers yesterday."

Really? He looks like a surfer who couldn't surf and became a business man instead...

"Well, thanks...I guess. Anyways, is it me or does the store have a stale smell?"

*PHACK*

"MOU~~~! Sorry for NOT taking a shower in the morning! But can't you be more of a gentleman and keep the thoughts to yourself! OMAE BAKA!"

*PHACK**PHACK**PHACK*

"SORRY SORRY!!! STOP IT PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!"

*PHACK*

I GIVE UP!"

*PHACK*

"UNCLE?!"

*PHACK*

"WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?"

*PHACK**PHACK**PHACK*

"ARGH-!"

*Snatches the newspaper and rips it into pieces*

"FU~ FUAHAHAHAHA~! Haruto-kun hontoni baka~desu"

Hai~hai! Watashi no SAIDAI bakada. Happy?

"Alright, back to the main topic, I'm wondering whether you sell a cheap heater."

"Heater? Hmm~ Chotto, let me check~desu."

*Typing on computer*

Mimi Tsunoyo, huh? What a weird family name, Mimi. Tsunoyo's such a good name though.

"Ah~! Here's one! How does 2000 yen sounds? It's the cheapest we've got~desu."

"2000 yen..."

Should I try-

"And that'll be the lowest it can go~desu"

-failed before I could say anything...

"2000 yen...Hai, no bargaining-"

"Yeap."

"-no discount-"

"Ex~actly!"

"-...nothing..."

*Nods*

"Akuma."

*PHACK*

"Mou~ Come on Haruto-kun, will you buy it or not?"

"Hai, hai! I'll take it."

"Alright then, just wait for a few minutes while I find it~desu."

And there she goes, leaving the store unattended with a 'criminal' in the store...

* * * * * *

.Sore ja, anata to hanashi nīsu. Mōichido i~tsu te~ Ja nai! Making me pay an extra 300 yen just cause I wasn't gentelman like.

"Ha~ru~to~..."

..She will pay one day.

"Ha~ru~to~..."

...I just hope I remember her name...

"Haruto~, your gonna drop that heater of yours if you don't concentrate~"

....Shut up will you?!

*Crash*

"I~~TAI~~!"

"Warned you. Come, let me see that foot of yours at the park."

Saying that, he picks up the heater with one hand and heads towards a bench in the park. Wait, this guy...looks...familiar... He looks just like the guy in the store... The surfer in a business suit...the...criminal? Soreigai, he smells bad; actually, it's the same smell in the store!

"I-I-I know-"

"Who I am? No, you don't, but I know you, Haruto Zero; you, your past, your crush on Tomoki Eva, and especially your potential in Imagination."

Stalker much!

"Wh-what do you mean by potential?"

"Da~ka~ra~, come here, let me introduce myself, okay? Don't worry, I maybe the same guy in the newspepah~ but I didn't do anything bad~; matter of fact, you be the judge, I'll the you what ACTUALLY happened."

Wow, he actually knew Mimi and I were talking about him?

"Fine, I'll come. So, how do you know me?"

"Not wanting to know my name~? Careless much~! Well, I'm Robert Kuffer and~ I have my connections. Now, let me ask you a question-"

When did we agree to play 'Questions & Answers'? More over, you didn't even answer my question!

"-what will you do, if the idea of making things, changing things, giving LIFE to things could be done by BREAKING things?"

Na-NANI?

"Like I said earlier, you have a great potential in Imagination-"

*Touches shoulder*

"-and you could even smell ME before you had any connections with the Other World"

"Sm-smell you? You smell like garb-"

"Garbage? Sure, BEFORE~ I touched you. What about now?"

WH-WHAT T-THE HE-HELL IS THIS S-SMELL!

"This my friend, or rather my son-to-be, is the smell of blood; blood that has stained me for, by this year, a millennium."

Apparently, the kōchō had allowed Miko and I to do the opening ceremony together. If I remember correctly, he seemed relieved that there are going to be two people doing it.

"Or maybe he knew my personality of being a coward when on stage...shikatanai ne..."

.Well, I guess it's better that we do it together than I alone.

"Miko? Can you practice first without me?"


"Naze?"


"...Toi...re..."

"*blush*...ha-hai...hayaku, Zero-chan!"

..Not that I am trying to run away, it's just that...I...need to freshen up.

"But...where is the toilet exactly?"

.......

“...Haruno sometimes brought Yuzune to the amusement park! Eva-chan, what do you think of them?”

...HUH? Eva-chan? DOKO?!?!?!?

“Hmm? Gommen...nani?”

....DOKO DOKO?!?! I hear her but where is she?

“Eva-chan, what’s wrong with you?... Plus, you look like a worn out rag today! What happened to you ...”

A worn out rag? That can't be the Eva that I know...

“School holidays huh? Nani mo, nani mo nai.”

Shikashi, that's definitely her voice, zettai. Sweet, soft, and such an innocent voice. Ahhhhhhh......

"Ara, Haruno! We were just talking about you!"

"Ooo...sugoi! You have grown since last we saw you."

"Ohayō, senpai! Looks like you still remember me!"

Rakki on'nanoko, if Eva-chan wasn't here, I would...no...WILL NEVER use the word senpai. I must give myself a good reputation as a kōhai...kedo...why is Eva-chan staring at me like I'm some kind of...freak?

"Aaa...gommen, shikashi, may...I...know...where-"

Kuso, I...ca-n't form my words if Ev..va-chan is staring a...at me like that... AHHHH...Ka-ka-kawaii~~~~~

"Gomnen, shikashi, do any of you...smell blood?"


"PFFT!! UAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ANTA BAKA KA NANDESU KA?"

Nani?

"I'm serious!"

"Hai, hai! Mazu wa, put your hands up to your face-"

Okay...now what?

"Second, wipe your nose!"

Wipe my nose?...

"FUAHAHAHA!"

Nose bleed huh? Just by having Eva-chan staring at me like that. Shikashi, her face...ka...ka...SUTOPPU! Tonikaku, she looks calmer now, with that small smile.

"Haha...ugh. Senpai? This might be embarrassing to ask, but, where is the toilet?"

"Embarrassing? Which one? The question or the nose bleed?"

"Uruse!"

"Hai, hai! Wareware wa o rikai. The toilet is straight up ahead; just turn left once you reach class 2B."

Ah...she...she...Eva...she just...talked...to...me...

"A-ariga-t-t-tō, senpai!"

And just like that, our conversation ends with me running to the toilet...


...was that even a conversation...I wonder...

* * * * * *

*Sound of door opening*

Fuh, found the toilet at last-

"SUGOI! This toilet is nicer and bigger than any I have ever seen in my life!"

It's so~ big; I can't even count the number of sinks they have. It's like a bunch of sinks on every side of the bathroom. In the center, cubicles in a circular order-

* Wipes nose*

"Hen...I don't seem to have a nose bleed now but, why do I smell blood..."

Not only that, this time, it's revolting, almost like rotten flesh...

*Sound of flushing**Door opens*

"Ara~ra~ra...mata aeru."

"O-omae!"

Wh-what is 'he' doing here? Zettai, he was from that day...Ano yatsu walks straight to the sink and washes his hands...and looks into the mirror...right into my reflection...

"Mada~ kimete, Ze~ro?"

* * * * * *

"Mou~! Osoi, Zero-chan"
