[story] White Rose, Black Rose (Epilogue up!) - Cookie Bouquets - Sep. 15, 2012
Yay, a new story! Notice how many references I make to an anime/cartoon, since the story takes place around 2011.
reference count: 5
Chapter 1: Beginnings
Beep...Beep...Beep!!!
I wake up, noticing the usual dark and gloomy atmosphere that my apartment beholds. I get up, do the normal routine, brushing my teeth, dressing in my school apparel, and eating breakfast. You may ask, why is my apartment so dead? Well, my family name, Seikatsu, has a normal occurrence, where all of my family disappears away from me. I am really, the last one left. After I finish my breakfast, I walk out the apartment door, as the sun blocks my eyesight a little bit, I notice a old, small, and dusty package. I take it, and place it on my counter in the kitchen.
I dust off the package, and see that the recipient was not to me, but my neighbor that moved away years ago. I pass this off as nothing, and reach for the scissors. As I cut open the package, a nasty odor comes out of the package, as the other thing, I passed it off as nothing. I looked inside, to see a wrist band, an average one that teenagers usually wear. I grab it, and notice that it already clenched onto my wrist. I blacked out, and I don't remember the rest.
When I woke up, I noticed that it wasn't my apartment. The atmosphere was even more dead, and the colors, were like a dead yellow. I stand up, and walk towards a figure I see in the distance. When I arrive, I see a man, around my age, and he had spiked black hair, with blue highlights. He turns around and notices me.
"Well, we usually don't see girls around here!" He exclaims.
"Y'know, I sort of opened my long lost neighbor's package, and I ended up here," I reply.
"That sure is fine," He shoots back.
I notice his grammar, it's something like the old west, or some other old american thing.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"I am 56-1, or you can call me Kaito," He replies.
"Oh well, I'm Suki Seikatsu, nice to meet you," I say back.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you, shall we be partners for the game?" He shoots back.
"What game?" I ask.
"The reason why we are here," He explains, "See this wrist bands, they are called player bands, and they grant you immortality, well, not really. You see, this game is called White Rose, Black Rose, if you lose your player band, a black rose will strike you. If you lose it again, the white rose will fall on you. When both fall, you end up disappearing, or basically, your dead."
"Interesting," I say sarcastically, "I really do care that I lose my player band."
"You really should," He shoots back.
Dang, he saw right through me.
"Alright, fine, we will be partners then," I reply.
Chapter 2: Scratching the Surface
We partnered up, and started walking down a hall we see. When we reach the hall way, the building changed. Instead of a dark and gloomy room, it turned into a dark and gloomy mental hospital.
"Be careful, the patients will try to steal your player band!" Kaito exclaims.
"Yeah, okay," I shoot back.
A patient runs towards us, and I kick him in the guts, and then I uppercut him. He falls to the ground. A loud noise comes from an intercom. Then a voice starts rambling on.
"Welcome, to the insane asylum, there is one patient with a key, find the key, and escape!" The voice exclaims.
"Great! The first puzzle!" Kaito responds quickly.
I punch every patient I see, and notice that there is no key. But one patient is still here. A little girl crying in the corner. I walk towards her, but a demonic figure, stands up instead.
"I WANT YOUR PLAYER BAND IN EXCHANGE FOR THE KEY" She says loudly.
"No!" I shoot back.
"No key for you then..." She says.
"Suki, get back!" Kaito calls back.
I run back and notice the girl wasn't a girl. She turned into something deformed, or mutated, like those teenage mutant ninja turtles, or something like that.
"I got this," Kaito says.
I see him grab a small book, with a magic symbol on the cover.
"Dude, there is no time to role play Edward!" I yell.
"I know!," He exclaims back, "Majikku konzetsu oni!"
The girl falls over, and her body starts falling into dust. The key remained within the remains of the girl. I grab it, and leave the room. Chapter 3: Into the Forest part 1
When the gates opened, another room has changed. This time, it wasn't a mental hospital, but more like a vast forest, of greens and yellows. The intercom plays again.
"If you survive overnight, you a path shall open," It explains.
"Well then, this won't be THAT hard," I say casually.
"Yeah right," Kaito shoots back, "This game isn't as easy as it seems."
"Oh real-" I say while getting cut off.
The intercom speaks again, "You will both be granted a rose, one shall be blue, one shall be pink, keep them for the rest of the game, and if you lose all the petals, your fate shall be sealed."
"Great, another way of dying," I respond.
A rose comes into my hand, I have the pink, and Kaito has the blue.
"The rose can be used as a whip, or a gun," The intercom explains.
I sling my rose, and notice a vine of thorns fly out and crash into a rock. the rock was heavily damaged, but the rose was A-OK.
Kaito raised his rose, and thorns shot out of it.
"These are even better than the spell book!" Kaito says excitedly.
Kaito leads the way, towards a lake as I follow on the look out.
"Ahooo!!!" A animal roars in the distance.
"A wolf huh," I say.
"Apparently so," Kaito replies.
When we get to the lake, a girl, also around my age, sits on a rock at the top. She had a player band, so I thought she was a player too. I notice her sobbing quietly.
"Hey, girl, Whats wrong?" I ask.
"My partner died, from that wolf that howled in the distance," She replies.
"Really, shall Kaito and I take care of this?" I respond.
"Can I come?" She asks.
"Why can't you stay here?" I shoot back,
"When my partner dies, all of the items I got from the game, are ineffective," She replies.
"Okay..." I respond.
She jumps down from the rock, and starts following me.
"So what shall your name be?" Kaito asks.
"34-1, or Kirai," She replies.
"One of the first players?!" Kaito shoots back.
"Yeah," She says, while blushing.
"Shh!" I say, "Stay back."
I walk forward quietly, and see the wolf. I ready my rose fir combat.
"Drop Dead!!" I exclaim while charging at the wolf.
I jump up and whip the wolf in the back. Blood spilled, but only a little. I kept slashing the wolf, but little cut marks were only appearing.
"Kaito!"I yell, "I need your spellbook abilities!"
Kaito rushes towards the combat, and yells, "PawÄwÄdo! Yoroi o sageru!"
The wolf, started looking like an average wolf, and I whipped him with the rose, and the wolf fell, and died a slow and painful death. Chapter 4: Into the Forest part 2
"Well, we have food for the night, don't we?" Kaito said.
"Yeah," I reply.
We walk back towards the lake, as Kaito goes out to start a fire. He grabs his spell book near the lake.
"Ute! SutÄto!" He chants.
Instantly, a fire started blazing on a pile of sticks.
"This should ward of the animals for the night," Kaito says, "I'll cook the wolf."
Kaito walks off in search of sticks, while I stay around near the fire.
"Kirai, how did you end up here?" I ask.
"I got here, when I ran away from home," She replies.
"You ran away from home?" I question her.
"Yeah, My parents were abusing my strength, using me as a butler or something," She responds quickly.
"Jeez, that's harsh," I shoot back.
"Yeah," She says.
"The wolf is ready!" Kaito exclaims.
We came over to the fire, ate, and then slept.
I woke up next to Kaito and look over to his wrist.
"KAITO!" I yell, "Your band is missing!"
Kaito wakes up, and notices it too.
"The Black Rose has fallen," The intercom announces.
A black rose fell, slashing into his chest, and then vanishes.
"You cannot exit, until you find his band, you have 24 hours to find his band," The intercom explains.
We get up, and run, leaving Kirai there.
"I can't believe you lost your band already!" I exclaim.
"Shut up," Kaito says angrily.
"Look a bear!" I point out.
"Do you think he has the band?" I add.
"Maybe," Kaito shoots back.
I whip the bear with my rose, and a dark and bloody gash appears on the neck. I keep whipping until the body was filled with gashes.
"PawÄwÄdo! HÅkai suru!" Kaito exclaims.
The bear starts turning into dust, and we find the band in there. Chapter 5: Kaito
The gates on the other side of the forest opened, and we approached to the gate. When we were about to exit, Kirai comes and attacks me.
"Woah, hold up there!" I yell.
I look at her arm and see that she doesn't have a player band. I take out my whip, slide behind her and whip her in the back. She fell over, and Kaito and I ran through the gate. We get through, and the atmosphere changes. This time it is a large mechanical factory. I look around, and see robots everywhere, and there is a key hanging from the top.
"Get the key," The intercom explains.
"Great!" Kaito exclaims sarcastically.
"This is no problem!" I reply, "Watch!"
I sling my rose onto a bar and sling to it. I do this over and over again till I get to the top. I grab the key and look down. I see that Kaito isn't there anymore. I jump down, and look around for Kaito. After a few searches I see him laying down, with a white rose in his chest. He also didn't have his player band. I rush over to him and see that he is vanishing slowly. I grab him within my arms.
"Kaito!" I yell, "What happened!?"
"He got to me," He responds.
"Who?" I ask.
"I don't know," He replies quickly.
Kaito starts coughing like he has the flu or something.
"This is it," Kaito adds, "My time is over."
He closes his eyes, and he disappears forever. I sit there mourning to his death.
"KAITO!!!" I exclaim.
I grab his rose and I get up, enraged and unlock the next door.
Epilogue
I got through to the next door, and I see a large man, like a huge robot.
"This is the final battle!!" The intercom explains.
"Kill him, and escape," it adds.
I whip out my rose, and start slashing the guy. None of it was working.
"Hmph, I am the Conductor," He says, "It is close to impossible to kill me."
I run around him and power slide to the back of him. I jump up and whip him around his neck. Sadly, I wasn't in the air long enough to choke him. When I land, He throws a punch directly to my stomach, and I launch towards a wall. I cough up blood, and he starts punching me more and more. I fall over, and about to die, I remember Kaito and Kirai. I look up towards the ceiling of the building, and I see the spirit of both of them. They reach out to me, and I try to grab their hand. When i do, I get up, and my wounds were healed.
"Suki, we are in this together," They say.
"Of course," I reply.
"What are you doing?" The conductor asks.
"Saving my life!" I Yell.
I grab Kaito's whip, and rush towards him. I hold his rose up to the conductors head, and shoot.
"Posion Sting!" I chant, "Seed of destruction!"
The conductor looks unchanged but he really isn't. He starts throwing punches, and I dodge them.
"Come on!" He yells, while throwing uppercuts and jabs.
"Why are you just dodging!" He adds.
He punches me once more, and I get flown into a wall. I come out of the wall injured,
"Heh," I breath out heavily, "I feel untouched, with the spirit of my friends with me."
"I won't die, until I get out of here," I add.
I look up, and see the conductor standing still. The seed I planted grew, as plants consumed his body, and he screams in terror. This goes on for minutes. Finally, the plant exlodes with the conductor, and nothing was left, but a pool of blood. A gate on the other side opens, and the outdoor lights shine in. I walk out.
"I win," I say, as I faint.
I wake up, and remember nothing from the past two days. I was in the same gloomy apartment. I do the morning routine, and I walk out the door. But what I see, is a man, a man with black hair with blue highlights.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"What?" He responds.
"You seem familiar, but I don't know you," I reply.
"Great! The first puzzle!"
What is going on?
"So what shall your name be?"
I am hearing voices, and I am imaging this man, talking to me, and another girl, the setting kept changing, through a mental hospital, into a forest, and into a factory. I look onto my wrist, and nothing is there. Why did I do that?
"Yeah right,"
"This game isn't as easy as it seems."
A game? What game?
"I am 56-1, or you can call me Kaito,"
Kaito... Kaito... Kaito...
I suddenly remember him.
"It's you!" I exclaim.
I hug him.
(5 years later)
"I pronounce you, husband and wife!"
There were lights everywhere, and people clapping
The end.
