Fable (on hiatsu)

42. Reason

Bodies collided violently against the walls to either side of me. An uneasy whisper pounded through the crowd.

I really don't like violence.

Cries of fear and excitement blew through my ears as I chased every Being in sight. Some ran at me, trying to take me down, others ran with all their might. What the hell is this guy, they yelled.

More like, I really don't want people who know me to know.

To know what happens when I... snap.

Unfortunately, I really chose the worst place to snap didn't I? Seriously, the school itself... If anyone without the Sight turned the corner, all they would see is some shirtless guy having a wrestling match with thin air. Of course my kimono is invisible to people, as are Spirits. Even so, I do wonder if they would see what a monster I look like now.

The reflection of other's eyes show me a human-like beast with an electric gold aura, yellow eyes and a really creepy grin. Uwah, is that really me? Lame. I look lame, like some weird anime character that's gone crazy. In fact, I don't think it would be a far cry to say I look like the bad guy in this story. The unbeatable, crazy, hysterical, nutjob of a bad guy.

Yep, that's me right now.

My fist, wet with blood, connects with the head of a ghost to my left. Unlike hitting a person, its feels as if my fist simply was thrust into the wind through the car window. The ghost laughs and runs off to the gymnasium where the 'tagged people' go. A demon behind me roars, giving me a fraction of a second to dodge. Its sword slices through the front of my kimono and my skin burns where it grazed me. Blood flows rapidly, steadily, wetting my shirt.

I'm pretty divided as to how I feel right now...

I kick the demon in the shin before continuing my World Conquest - I mean the game of tag. Haha... Yeah... I will win this game for Plum! It won't hurt anyone (me) if I get into the game a bit, though, will it?

With that joyful, clear goal clearly fixed in mind, I went into a bloody berserk run through the school. It isn't a far stretch to say I gained quite the nickname from those five minutes alone. But then something even worse happened.

T'Ko got to the school.

I had left Craft's house, headed for the party five minutes before getting to the bloodbath Craft had made. I figured I could make it in a minute or two if I flew. But the Hero always shows up last to the party, right? So I hopped from the roof and ran along the electric lines. It was quite fun, I've got to say~! The wind constantly blew my mask up, so I could see better. But people could see my face, so I ended up using one hand to keep my mask over my eyes. While running on a thin wire meters above ground. And I considered making a new mask out of plaster.

All in all, very fun.

Especially when I got to the school. It looked like it usually did from the outside. Then I noticed some blood spattered on the windows. Animated with a joyous energy, I descended into the war-stained school where I participated in the Game of Tag that eventually was passed down in Ayakashi History as one of the bloodiest, most horrible day when a human and his Spirit counterpart decimated hundreds of Spirits.

Ah, the memories.

Either way, eventually I (Ren) finished cleanup and won the game of tag. Plum kissed Craft of the lips for a really long time. While I was trying to enjoy that, Kyuu was trying to present me (T'Ko) to Jo and Toby. Needless to say, I was both extremely buzzed and annoyed and happy when I went to bed that night.

Ah, there was also an incident near the end, but... I'm too tired to tell you what right now... *Yawn* I'll tell you about it tomorrow, kay? See you tomorrow~!
