I'm sure you're all tired of me posting half-done stories on here...but I have a short attention span and keep forgetting to finish them. Well, Mello's Journey is done...but not typed up. >w>

ANYWAYS. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE OF MY CRAPPY STORIES!

Brought to you today by the letter I and the word bored. :D *was talking to her mom about Sesame Street earlier*

...Snuffleupagus. :'D *probably spelled it wrong*

Okay. Next post will contain chapter 1. e.o

Freedom Ch. 1

A small child let out a strangled cry, a pack of wolves surrounding her. The largest wolf, a male that had glowing red eyes, black fur with a large blood red skull and crossbones marking on his back, a pair of large, bat-like wings protruding from his shoulders, growled, baring teeth like gleaming white knives. He was the leader, Shintenshi. The Angel of Death.

The young girl pleaded with the wolves, begging for her and her village’s safety. ”Please! Spare us, Shintenshi!” She got down onto her knees, tears falling to the ground and dampening the soil in little disk shapes. Shintenshi laughed at the girl’s feeble attempts to save her people. He lifted a large paw, cracking the girl hard in the skull, her body falling over as her consciousness slipped away. ‘No…’ was the last thought that ran through her mind before it was consumed by darkness.

Kurami jerked awake, breathing heavily. “That same dream…What could it mean?” She asked herself, rubbing the sleep out of her forest green eyes, yawning softly afterwards. She climbed out of her bed, running a brush through her shoulder-length brown hair, adding in red, purple, and blue streaks, then coloring her hair a light purple, she moved from her mirror to change out of her nightgown and into her everyday attire. A medium-length blue skirt, a white shirt with red sleeves, a black ribbon tying her hair out of her face, and finally her black shoes with white socks.

Kurami Shurai. A normal girl with a not-so-normal life. Her nightmares robbed her of sleep, and school drained what little energy she managed to gain in her sleepless nights.

Normal? Oh how she wished she was.

She heaved a sigh, heading into her school building, still wishing she could get more sleep at night.

Kurami Shurai. Normal high school student to her friends.

Another sigh. She gathered her books for her morning cl*censored*es, the headed down the hall for her history cl*censored*. She sat down, and then promptly fell asleep on her books until the loud ‘snap!’ of a ruler jolted her back into the cl*censored*room. “Ms. Shurai. You are already failing my cl*censored*. It would help you if you were to stay awake and focus.” “Yes, sir…” She sighed, sitting up and yawning. ‘Those dreams must stop!’ She thought, looking to the front of the room, mind wandering. Next thing she knew, the bell rang for her next cl*censored*.

“This is going to be another long day.” She sighed, grabbing her books and heading to her next cl*censored*.

The day p*censored*ed slowly, but when the final bell rang, Kurami was off like a rocket .She made it home in record time, only to slam into another person, both of them falling back.

Freedom Ch. 2

            “Ow…” Kurami whined, standing up slowly to look down at a boy around her age with shoulder-length, shaggy black hair, sky blue eyes, and…Were those wings?

            They were!

            A pair of black feathered wings was now splayed out as the boy mumbled something in a language she couldn’t understand. Probably curses. He stood, folding his wings and finally showed her what he was wearing. A tattered black shirt that had barely any fabric left, a pair of faded denim jeans with holes in the knees, and a simple black cap on his head. “Watch your step next time, girl.” He growled until he got a good look at her. “Oh! I-I’m sorry, miss!” He exclaimed, bowing. Kurami felt her cheeks burn as her blush became evident. “What the sudden change in attitude?” She asked, tilting her head slightly, confused. “You’re the one we’ve been waiting for. The one who will take us back to Heaven.” He stated, holding out his hand to help her up, blue eyes sincere. “Me? I’m just a normal high-school student.” “You are far from normal, Isari.” He said, grinning. “Isari? My name’s not Isari. It’s Kurami.” She crossed her arms. “That is your human name. Your angel name is Isari.” The seemingly arch-angel boy explained. “My human name was Kurako. Now, I am Malul.” He stated, chuckling as his wings disappeared, his hair shortened, and his eyes darkened. A few red streaks appeared in his hair as he yawned, brushing dirt off of his now-repaired black tee that had a silver winged wolf with its lips curled back into a snarl. Then he moved on to his repaired blue-jeans, only to look up and find Kurami staring at the demonic silver wolf on his shirt, looking terrified. “Isari? Is something wrong?” Mal- No. Wait. He was Kurako. “I’m…not…I…sa…ri…” She muttered, her vision going black as gravity pulled her limp body towards the ground. But, she never touched the ground. She was caught in Kurako’s arms, the angel-boy slowly standing up, flaring his returned wings, only to make them disappear again when he remembered that Kurami lived here. He took her into the house, gently setting her down, then walked off to find a wet rag to place on her forehead.

Meanwhile, Kurami was having that same nightmare, only this time, /she/ was the little girl.

No. Not a dream…

A memory.

            Kurami made a muffled screaming sound as she jolted awake, feeling warmer than usual. She looked up to see Kurako asleep…And she was on his lap. Her face went red, then pink when she realized that she had p*censored*ed out and he was probably just trying to make her more comfortable.

‘He’s so…Serene…’ She thought, yawning softly and curling up against Kurako’s chest, slowly falling asleep once more.

That time, the only thing she dreamt of were the happy times in her life.

Kurako’s eyes fluttered open at the feeling of someone curling up against his chest. He looked down, seeing Kurami happily asleep against him. He smiled, wrapping his arms around her. Then, he, too, fell asleep once more, dreaming happy dreams.

Kurami yelped, the persistent beeping of her alarm clock startling her out of her happy dreams. She blinked, wondering why she hadn’t fallen off of her couch yet. She looked up, cheeks burning when she saw why she didn’t fall. ‘Why…Why did he wrap his arms around me?’ She wondered, staring at him for a couple minutes, then trying to wriggle her way out so she could get ready for school. Kurako mumbled something in a foreign language, pulling Kurami closer. She gained another shade of red, then decided to try something to try and wake him up. “Kurako…Kurako!” Kurami gently nudged him in the ribs with her elbow. Kurako groaned softly, then with a yawn, he began to wake up. His eyes opened and he found himself staring right into Kurami’s, blue locked on green. “Did something happen?” He asked, growing a bit concerned. “I have to get ready for school….I don’t need to be late.” Kurami explained, trying to wriggle out of his arms again. He unwrapped his arms, letting her free to scurry off to her room to at least wash her uniform quickly, dry it, then put it back on and brush her hair, putting the colored highlights back in. She yawned softly, walking back out, then into her kitchen to make herself a couple pieces of toast. After she ate, she grabbed her bag and ran out her door, heading off to school. Unknown to her, someone was following, watching from the trees. Silent as a shadow, the only sound the soft thud of paws against the earth. The gleaming red eyes of…something followed Kurami’s every move.

Freedom Ch. 3

Story by: Brittany Fowler

As soon as Kurami made it to her first cl*censored*, she nearly collapsed into her chair, heart racing and her breathing uneven thanks to her running all the way. She put her head down on her books, only to snap her attention to the front of the room as her teacher introduced a new student. “This is

((Okay. This chapter is also done...I will edit the posts later. And add more eventually. This is one of my older stories, so please forgive the weird spacing. I'll fix it later. e.o
