Between Worlds

Part l

A normal Saturday morning in Japan, as a young boy wakes up. He sits up in his bed as the sunlight was shining through his window. His messy black hair standing up on its own as he lazily opens his blue and purple eyes.

He sat on the edge of his bed stretching his body, grabbing his phone as he slowly made his way to the rest of his house, where his family is. 

"Good morning Rin."

"More like good afternoon."

Two girls said, one who looks like she is 19 and the other like 8.

"Huh? Did I sleep that late?" Rin questioned checking the time on his phone.

"Yeah dummy, it is like 2:10. What have you been doing all night?" The older girl knocked him on the head a bit

"Nothing important, just studying."

"Studying? On a Friday, you will forget all that by Monday."

"Yeah I know, I know. Anyway, where is mom and dad?" Rin asked noticing the house is empty besides them 3.

"At work."

"Of course," Rin said knowing that is the usual. He knew his parents always work but not the types that choose career over family.

Rin walked into the kitchen to eat something till his phone vibed. Notifying him that he has a message. He looked down and read it.

"Hey Mio, I am going to be heading out." He told her walking to their front door putting on his shoes.

" where are you going to?"

" Hashimoto just texted me saying there was a Café here he wanted us to try out."

"Well okay then but don't be out all day long."

"Heh, I can try but knowing him. I can't guarantee anything." Rin spoke opening the door and walking out. 

He made his way to the destination where his friend texted him. Walking on the sidewalk of a somewhat busy street. Seeing his friend waiting outside the cafe for him.

"Hey, Hashimoto" Rin called out to him, running up to him.

"You're finally here Tadao."

"I left as soon as you texted."

"Yeah, I know. Come on, let's get in before more people take our spot."

The two boys make it inside and are seated at a table.

"What does this place serve anyways?" Rin asked looking at the menu in front of him.

"They serve, meals, cakes, desserts. I heard a lot of people in our class talking about how good their desserts and cakes are. And knowing you having that sweet tooth you wouldn't help but what to try it."

"You're making it sound like I wanted to come here. I came here cause you asked me too."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Hashimoto waved his hands as his orange eyes scanned the menu.

They soon ordered their cakes and such, then left with Hashimoto paying obviously.

"So are we gonna do anything else?" Rin asked standing outside the cafe they just finished eating at.

"We can just walk, nothing else is going on so." He replied walking ahead making Rin run after him.

They were doing small talk here and there but mostly kept quiet from each other. But walking Rin notices something odd.

"Hey, Hashimoto I ain't seeing things aren't I?" Rin grabbed Hashimoto turning him in the direction of the park in front of them.

"What is the Eiffel tower doing here in Japan?" Hashimoto whispered seeing it standing high up in the sky from a distance.

Other people noticed and looked at it confused. Rin looked at Hashimoto worryingly while he is just staring at it.

"Maybe we should keep on going." Rin stated pushing Hashimoto.

But before they can start walking again, the ground beneath them started to shake and rumble violently an earthquake. Rin was nervous about just these two things occurring. Soon the earthquake subsided but not till he saw some buildings collapsing by the violent earthquake.

"I'm sorry Hashimoto, I have to get back to my family." Rin went to tell his friend noticing he is already gone. He shook his head running to where his family was.

The ground started to rumble again much more fierce than the previous one. Causing him to fall on the ground in panic. Then the ground snapped open subsiding the quake.

Rin stood up looking at the crack that was big enough to fit a whole town in. Seeing the ground and melted rock and heat freaked him out.

He ran off back to where he was previously making his way back home.

"MIO! AIKA!" Rin yelled to his two sisters as he burst open the front door.

"Rin what's up?" Mio asked calmly walking to him.

"We have to go!"

"Go where? What are you talking about?"

"Th-there, it's hard to explain and you won't believe me, but there is no time in explaining we have to go!" Rin panicked grabbing his sister's arm.

"I am not leaving till you explain! Is this another joke you're trying to pull?" Mio asked crossing her arms.

Rin pulled his hair frustratedly. Meanwhile, the sky is going eerily cloudy and dark above everyone.

"I told you there is no time to explain. We have to go now!" Rin yelled as his voice cracking as he tried not to freak out so much.

His sister finally seeing his expression as genuine one.

"Wait out there, I'm going to get Aika." She started running back in to grab their little sister as Rin waited farther from the house to see if anything else bad is gonna happen and a way they can go.

Just as Mio was grabbing Aika and running out. A big firey monster came up from behind the building and smashed it on top of the two scattering the building rubble, some hitting Rins body. Rin looked up at this beast, fire emanating from its body as it stood on its two legs proudly. It two horns pointing to the sky was enough to intimidate anyone. As its spine chilling dead eyes scanned the surrounding areas.

It didn't take notice of Rin as he was out of the eyesight of the beast. It soon walked off to terrorize more people. He quickly ran over to the smashed building seeing the blood splatter of his sister's. He tried to move some rubble but it was of no use. He knew they were gone.

But stubbornly he kept trying to before giving up and passing out on the rubble.
