Falling Star

Fruit Ninja and Helping Hand {Chapter IV}

Yes, I will be using Golden Hexes, Silver Cogs, and Copper Washers instead of USD. In this one, 100 Copper Washers are 1 Silver Cog, and 100 Silver Cogs are one Golden Hex. $1 is also similar to 1 Silver Cog.

~~~~~Piltover~~~~~

I couldn't stop hearing it... the whines of my old friend. I could still swear I could see them walking through the halls. I decided to get up, and head to the bathroom. I stripped down, hopped in the shower, and cleaned myself.

After I was done, I grabbed a towel and started drying myself. I went to my room, grabbing a hoodie, boxers, and some blue jeans. After I put them on, I also grabbed my face mask and put it on. I then decided to walk out, locking the door behind me. I looked in my pockets. 40 Silver Cogs. It wasn't crazy money. I then walked around town. I had to get out of my house for a little bit.

As I was walking... I saw a woman, who was spray painting what appeared to be a woman in a red kimono, black hair, and amber eyes, along with holding a blue orb. The two strangest things... were her fox ears. Not so weird. Fox Vastaya are not common, but they're not rare either. The other even stranger part was... her nine tails. Nine fluffy white tails outstretched. A fox vastaya was rare, but a kumiho... there's only been one recorded in history... "What are you making here?" I said, acting dumb, I knew what it was.

~~~~~Akali POV~~~~~

I was spray painting an outfit of Ahri I saw her wear once. That's when this man came up. I immediately thought he was going to ask me out, and then saw. He was looking at my artwork. Huh. "What are you making here?" I heard him and immediately knew it wasn't a genuine question. "A Kumiho." "Huh. You're pretty good at this. What's your name?" I then sigh, figuring he didn't seem... horrible. Unlike some other guys, I don't know. "I'm Akali." I was expecting him to freak out, ask for an autograph, and sleep with me. Yet all he said was, "That's a cool name. I'm Reku." I was surprised. Yet, I was starting to like this man. Not in an 'I want in this man's pants' way, but a genuine friendship way.

I then heard some enforcers coming. "Shit. Come on! We gotta move!" She'd hate for one of the only guys she's met that she can tolerate getting blamed for her 'crime'

~~~~~Reku POV~~~~~

I then ran with her, seeing how she panicked, and how she was technically more used to this city. As we were running, she turned a few times and then turned into a small enclosure. "Darn it. I was certain this was it." I then noticed a platform up, which I jumped onto the wall, running up, jumping between the walls, and then landed on the platform, before letting the ladder down. It was an abandoned balcony. Akali climbs up. And then we quietly put the ladder up and crouched to not be seen. The enforcers yelled as they tried to find us. To no avail.

After about 10 minutes, they stopped searching, and I let down the ladder "You first." I'd rather not be pegged as a pervert. Akali looks at me. She then decided to go down and I went down a bit after.

"Huh. Usually, I'm the one helping others. It's a nice change having someone help me for a change." Akali then sighs "What you want some reward or something?" Was she crazy? Reward? For simply trying to help someone? Even if the deed itself was morally grey? "Not really. I don't usually help people for the reward of it." Akali seemed a bit surprised "So Truly nothing?" "Truly nothing."

~~~~~Akali POV~~~~~

I was still a bit weary of the stranger. I know, a bit paranoid, but after hearing some stories the others told me, I couldn't be too careful. "Hm. Well, thanks for the help then, I'll probably be redecorating some more of the town. 주위에 당신을보고." I then decided to head home, hearing him stumble "W-wait, what does that mean?" He didn't know Korean? Where did you come from, Reku? I then kept walking home. I knew the other three would be out, so I would be home alone.

~~~~~Reku POV~~~~~

I then sigh. I then walk around, heading unintentionally toward Zaun. Unfortunately for him, he fell into a crater, debris of small twinkling crystals, reminding him of space and ironically... home. In the middle, he saw a pedestal with a device that looked like a gauntlet. He then went and lifted the glass. He moves it to the side and then puts the gauntlet on

"Oh. It... perfectly fits..." As he was going to take off the gauntlet, it clamped onto his arm as he screamed in pain, as it felt like a bunch of needles embedded into his skin. He then grabbed at the strange arm and tried to pry it off. "Get... off!" To no avail. It was stuck on. He sighed in defeat, had some voice then spoke.

'Do not fear. How about we get to know each other? I of course know you, Reku Moya. Part of the Moya family, a failing family. Oh? Not even born by blood? Interesting...' "Shut up... it's clear you know me. So what are you?" 'I am Cogitare, I used to rule the realm of mirrors before I was trapped in his gauntlet.' "Oh. Well. Do you think you can help me get out of here? Kinda dark down here." A ghostly wail then emitted as a light blue cone of line, to which he grabbed the rocks, using his new left hand to both climb and light up his way out before he got out of the chasm. "So I guess you'll be companying me? Is there no way to reverse it?" 'No. I unfortunately don't know how to reverse it.' He sighs, walking home, planning to write down what happened during the day. A small fox, covered in what looked like stars saw the man walking home, trying to find to find him.
