A Shift In Reality

Chapter 5

Show?

It' s around Ten O' clock, a girl in gray sweat pants and a white T- shirt was sprinting around the house. Who was this girl? It was the [ H/C]- nette. [ Name] had a routine she made years ago, but now since it's summer her routine could include more things she wanted to do, like watch one of her favorite animes. Her best friend, Beth, had already left a few hours ago. She had to get home due to some personal reasons but even if she was gone it wouldn't stop [ Name] from watching one of her many favorite animes on Crunchyroll. She had a subscription which she paid every month. It was one of the few things she covered for herself with her own money.

Her strange behavior didn't go unnoticed by the other occupants in her house. Most of the dogs just watched her run into the cozy kitchen and make some popcorn then run back to the living room to set the steamy popped kernels on her wooden table. It was odd behavior but the dogs couldn't help but be curious. What was she getting ready to watch? It made them wonder so they all agreed to go into the living room to see the show that made her spring around the house for over thirty minutes.

Soft pants left the [ lip colored] female's lips, she couldn't wait to watch Tokyo Revengers, she's been waiting to watch it for days now but couldn't find any time with the dogs and the errands she ran. She knew rewatching the show would uplift her mood, it had too. She loved all the characters but had particular favorites even when some haven't been animated yet. She loved Mikey, Izana, Chifuyu, and [ Another Favorite Character]. In her opinion, they were one of the best but that didn't mean she didn't like the others characters in the show.

[ Name] brought a blanket out of her closet that was composed of soft Bergeny fur with gold details lining the edge. It was one of her favorite things since this blanket was given from her grandma who passed a few years ago. It was one of the few things she had from her but it just made it all the more special. Sitting down on the plush couch the girl notice all the animals either sitting in-front of her legs or leaned on her. It made her happy of course since most animals didn't like her but she also enjoyed the warmth of the puppies bodies.

Feeling a soft moving fur on her legs the girl looked down to see a couple of the puppies she recently bought trying to hop on the couch. It made her chuckle to see King and Mickey trying to get on the satin couch but failing and slipping off. She wasn't sadistic in any way but to see two small dogs failing to get on something made her laugh. The bleach white dog with orchid eyes glared at her when he saw the snickering face she made when he slipped again, his other counterpart that was struggling saw it but didn't mind. Mikey knew the girl would just pick him up and he'll settle comfortably in her lap. He guessed he's one of those purse dogs he rarely seen back in Japan. He now understood why those dogs loved being coddled.

[ Name] shook her head and sighed picking up both dogs by her leg and setting them both on the couch. Once reaching the soft fabric of the couch the bleach blonde moved away from the dog with dark eyes not wanting to be any closer. Seeing this the girl couldn't help but wonder why the dog seemed to have such a grudge against the other but shrugged it off as something less serious. Finally getting settled the girl took the bowl of popcorn off the table and into her lap with the black remote control. It took a few seconds to get on crunchy roll to start watching her favorite show. Hitting play on the episode " Reborn".

The dogs perked up and faced the 70 inch flat screen TV at the front of the room, it still amazes them how a TV wasn't a block but thin and big. The technology here was out of their comprehension and they loved to see more and more everyday.

Looking at the screen the TV showed a very messy Japanese apartment with paper stacked on paper. Most of them couldn't help but cringed at the mess showed on the TV but one blonde dog felt a sense of familiarity. It was as if he was seeing the old apartment he used to live in but that wasn't possible. Not lingering over the light thought anymore the dogs faced the TV screen to see more of the ' show' the girl casted on her TV.

Frame by frame the dogs watched intensely trying to find anything out the ordinary that caught the girls attention to run all over the house but it seemed normal so far. The TV showed a man with black hair eating chips while watching the news in his small apartment. His face wasn't clearly showed but the dogs didn't care since they were preoccupied with the news on his TV. The dogs could understand the Japanese but couldn't read the words at the bottom. They presumed it was English by looking at your eyes skimming over them.

" And now for our next story. The escalating dispute between the Tokyo Manji Gang has now claimed innocent victims." The familiar word of the gang made them freeze, they had a show say their gang name. It made every dog in the room rigid, they never had a dispute that ended innocent lives or any lives for that matter. Why did a fictional show use their name? The dogs glanced at each other before hearing a snicker.

" I guess Mikey was always meant to be a criminal."  The dog with thick streaks of blonde taunted the smaller. He knew he was right when he said it was Mikey's fault. Mikey's responsible for those death, Mikey killed those people, Mikey killed his own Brother.

Before the TV could elaborate more on the issue it zoomed out to show the mystery male that they previously saw glimpses of before the conversation.

" T- Takemitchy?"
