I sat down on park bench out of energy. Right near me were two little children. The older one bossed the little one around and the little one humbly obeyed. It was not the children Mercury stared at, it was the life surrounding them. She envied and hated it.

Horrible flashbacks invaded my mind. but no matter how hard I tried to force them out they always came back. It is a technique used by the demons; guilt, hatred, sorrow, depression, humiliation, anger, prejudice, racism, discrimination, pessimism. fear. For me there was nothing left but a horrible migraine. Some days were worse than others. when I first arrived. I began to feel extensive throbbing and nausea, then it would all end in a sudden dizzy spell awakened by my black blood forcing its way up my throat. I began to except it as I did my never-ending existence.

I am here only to tell the begging. the past. -80Hg

Win for Lose decisions

I was given two choices. they were unfair in my opinion, as if it would matter. Then again, it was the most decent thing Hexidecimous ever did for me. At first I thought it was too good to be true but then it occurred to me that there was no reason for me or Mya to be needed after they finally got what they wanted. Mya's freedom or my bliss balanced on my shoulders just waiting to be weighed and measured. It wasn't a hard decision. Thinking of my self, I chose Mya's freedom. before her left goes demon. Well it was done; I left to fulfill their prophecy; Kill the Guardian Samurais and steal their swords. a typical hit-n-run tactic.

Waking Pain

Everything happened as it was told in the legend. They found me right away waking me up with pain and nausea due to the atmosphere. Lucky for me it was nighttime; I'd have some time to adjust properly to the sun. Well it was not your usual human encounter with a friendly greeting. it was more like I was passed out naked and the clumsy one tripped over me while the perverted one stood there gawking like an idiot. Not knowing what to think they left and convinced that I was no more than a dream or an illusion, never thinking they would ever see me again. If only.

Common sense

In this day and age education amongst the humans was big thing. there for I planed to go to school with them and try to get this whole thing over and done with. Now if I knew I was going to be chewed out by some half-wit wench about the color of my hair and the proper dress code I would have tried a different tactic.

Humiliation.

The facility provided me with a robe for my time being which I noted to be not long. and my little introduction by the instructor was not at all necessary. I felt it was none of their business, so I strongly suggested not preaching out my personal information. In this first lesson lecture I made my presence well obvious to the incompetent one of the samurais. He seemed rather boggled by the whole situation. With that being so. it must have meant he had no clue about anything that was going on. well now I am thinking this is going to be too easy.

NO fun.

In the next lesson noted on my schedule I made. well I should say he, made a somewhat of a too friendly encounter.(He being the second of the samurais; the perverted one.) He sat right behind me trying to flirt with me, whispering indecent little things in my ear. Then he would play with my hair, twisting little strands that fell out of place... now that was going too far! I COULDN'T WAIT TO KILL HIM.

After these insane lessons everybody received a break. Lunch. Now being that demons are cannibals and only eat every a thousand years or sooo. I felt left out. Well at this time, I chose to formally introduce my self to the samurais.

"As you probably figured by now my name is 80HG. commonly know as Mercury. I have come here to fulfill the prophecy, now we can do this the hard way or the easy way. really its your call..". and they stood there speechless the perverted one who was still finishing up his noodles, stood up, he stood with his height reaching up to my nose. "I'm Ryo. the easy way is ok with me." He then excitedly stood there with his hand outstretched waiting to be greeted. The stupid one just sat there like a vegetable. I turned my head away and hid my hand in disgust. He was either mocking me or clueless about the whole situation. Just then, the other one stood up. "What is this really about?" He asked. I sighed.. Then handed him my challenge notice; Reading: You are to meet me at the place where we first met, tonight, midnight. After both of them read it, each had different expressions. therefore meaning each had different thoughts.

Well I would only have to hope that they would show up.

Idiot samurais

Of course that night it had to be pouring down rain and lightening. However, to my surprise they both showed up. I was ready. transformed and everything. and I JUST couldn't wait to KILL BOTH of them. While I stood there debating on which one would go first, both of them stood there with umbrellas, just standing there like vegetables. Well now that is when it became obvious. they really had no clue. HMMMPPPPHHH. Well that just seemed to piss me off more. It was then decided that I would kill both of them at once. one quick slash of my staff.

INTERUPTIONS. THERE SHALL BE NONE

Unfortunately, I was interrupted just about when I was going to guillotine their heads. I heard a familiar voice. I then dropped my staff to turn around. MYA. There stood a mini me wrapped in rags. She was crying and held her hand over her left eye. which her black blood gushed out. I ran to hug and comfort her but she pushed my hands away and franticly explained everything.

Everything

Hexidecimous was all lies, which I really knew. I guess I was just wanted to ignore it and let everything be true. Mya overheard Hexidecimous bragging how he set me up. Like I foolish lamb I would be led to slaughter. So Mya managed to escape and warn me. I didn't know what to do.

A slight delay

Not that they would know what the hell was going on. I explained to them; "I am terribly sorry but I will have to call this whole thing off for now. thank you for your time."

(Duo and Ryo) "what the hell just happened??"."Must have been another one of those dreams." (walks away)

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW: IT IS MY TURN TO TELL THE STORY PRESENT ----my imagination----

Because, of the past events that would mean Mercury's stay would be extended due to her new intentions.

NEW INTENTIONS.

With much thought and energy, she decided that. she would help them. them being the "idiot samurais". If she helped them that would mean everything would work out just so. everybody would be happy. that is except the darkness.

A trip to see the old man

Getting ready

Mya had never been on earth before and really knew nothing about humans. Therefore, Mercury struggled to put Mya in clothes. She hated them and acted like a wild cat being dressed in baby clothes by a little girl. One minute they were on and the next they were off. Mercury begged, pleaded and threatened. "IF YOU DON'T KEEP THESE ON I WILL MAKE ANOTHER SCAR TO MATCH YOUR OTHER EYE." With that said Mya kept the clothes on and would scratch frantically at her covered arms and legs.

Une promenade

As they walked down the street "daring to be different" Mercury told Mya stories about the earth and its beauty. She pointed out the cherry trees and their color that she could no longer see. Mya excitedly looked around and asked many questions.. then she would complain how it was too bright. "Thats what living in darkness will do to you. you will get used to it though...you'll have to." Mya frowned. "Is this what you wanted for me..is this what you consider bliss?" she asked with disgust. Mercury stopped and slapped Mya. "This is your option. CAN'T YOU SEE I AM DOING THIS FOR YOU?.. YOU will learn to like it.. I know you will. it may not be right away...but even Hexdecimous fell in love with the earth." A long silence passed between them until they reached the old mans house.

THE OLD MAN AND HIS CUP OF TEA. (hey that does sound familiar)

With out knocking or ringing a bell Mercury walked through the door. She marched down the narrow hallway and entered a room to find the old man quietly sipping his tea with Duo and Ryo going on with a conversation. As soon as she walked in the room their attention then focused on her and the little girl clinging on her arm. "I need to speak with you." Mercury said directing her words to the old man. "Very well. DUO, RYO make some more tea." The old man huskily commanded. "NO that won't be necessary." Mercury interrupted. "WELL YOUNG LADY. maybe I would like some tea." The old man argued back.

Absurd Negotiations

INTRODUCTIONS

"NOW what is your business here?" He asked annoyed. Mercury hesitated for a second and then began to speak. but was then interrupted by the old man. "First you should tell me your names." As he said this, his eyes scanned over Mya whose eyes looked worn and sad. Mya stood there trying to avoid him by hiding her face behind Mercury. Mercury looked down at Mya. "This is Mya, my sister. I am Mercury, I had originally come here intended fulfill the prophecy. but I was recently persuaded not to." The old man looked up at Mercury and looked into her full, blue eyes. "What persuaded you?" He questioned. She looked down at Mya. "I see." said the old man."

NOW

"What are you going to do now?" He questioned once more. "Anything I can." She replied with a slight smile. "I am sorry but I quit playing this long ago. I am too old and too tired." He replied. Mercury sighed "OK I see what you are getting at. tell me this DO THEY HAVE ANY KIND OF EXPERIENCE AT ALL?" She asked while her temper started to boil. "no." The old man replied with wide toothy grin. Mercury folded her arms and closed her eyes in distress. She then looked over at the two silhouettes eavesdropping. "Alright.. tomorrow those two idiots had better get things straight. I'll leave that up to you." She then turned around dragging Mya heading towards the door. "Oh. do need have a place to stay?" The old man asked. Mercury gave into his offer and replied with a pitiful, "...could I." Then the old man put on his wide toothy smile as Duo and Ryo revealed them selves out of hiding carrying the tea.

SeCtIoN II

And the past slowly devours the present. today is a new day.

Sleeping Beauty

"Open your eyes." Mercury soothingly ordered to the sound and sleeping Mya. Mya opened her eyes and looked around the dark and empty room. Being her stubborn self, she closed her eyes again. Mercury sighed then bent down to pick her up. She cautiously walked down the hallway and carried her into the bathhouse. She then savagely threw her into a tub of icy water. Mya opened her eyes. She screamed, half in shock and half angry and once again she would go through her clothing routine. Most of Mercury's morning was exhausted, chasing Mya begging her to put on some clothes.

Une Promenade

Mya walked sluggishly, half asleep and Mercury held her hand pulling her along. "Where are we going now?" Mya asked sleepily. "Today you will start the humans' education process." Mercury stated mater-of-factly. ".why" She groaned. "Well maybe learn something. like the their customs. you might even find that you like it." Mercury explained in a motherly way. The rest of the way it was the usual long silence until an interruption approached...

Duo's POV (POINT OF VIEW)

As I walked, I noticed the weird foreign girl walking ahead. I couldn't help not thinking about her and the old man's conversation from yesterday, weather my dreams were real or if I am still dreaming now. Ryo quickly ran ahead to catch up with her. Me, I can't understand why he would run after her; ever since we met her she has acted like some hoighty-toighty bitch, treating us like morons. Whatever she's here for I don't want anything to do with it. I have more important things to worry about.

"Hey I think you've said enough" pov-Mercury

"HEY HOWS IT GOING." I was rudely interrupted by an annoying voice. I stopped and turned around. well, well if it isn't the undersized samurai. "I'm sorry but I really can't stop and chat just now, Mya will be late." I explained hoping it would sink into his thick skull. "I'll walk with you." He sure was a persistent little bastard. Mya then looked at me seeming awake.

"who is he?" she asked, focusing her eyes on Ryo. Of course, Ryo wouldn't know what the hell we were saying because he doesn't know the language. Therefore, I explained to her what I really thought of him. "That is why I came here, and it sure is a pity I can't kill him." She looked at Ryo who was dumbfounded; she smiled. "He seems nice." She replied. "Too friendly; he's just some horny kid." And that was the truth.

MYA'S POV

Maybe Mercury is right, maybe. I'll like it. All my life I've only heard the adverse things about the humans of earth. Even Mercury speaks of the humans as inferiors. but then again, I've always felt Mercury never told me what she was really feeling. I remember once asking Hexidecimous if my senses were right. He told me that it was her and my weakness; we both had a human soul. I didn't understand and I still don't. However that explained why we were the -treated and low ranking. but we were still feared. We soon stopped walking when we reached a big shelter with the adolescents of the human world swarming around it. It makes me feel very alone; I was still clinging to Mercury's hand but trying so hard not to make it so obvious that I am afraid.

School my imagination talks now

It was time for them to part for the day. "I must leave you now. remember what I told you and stay out of trouble." Mercury lectured in her motherly nature. Mya looked out at the sea of people. Her eyes already deep and dreary, painfully stared at the juveniles of the human world. "Bye." She said in the human language. Mercury watched her trudge through the crowd and into the school, her eyes looked as if a tear would force its way out.

"Are you ok?" asked Ryo, who had witnessed the whole event. She turned around to face him. "I am fine." She replied with a phony smile. "Is that your sister?" Ryo asked. "Yeah. I guess you could say that." She replied now half dazed.

Mya's POV

I walked into the office and handed the lady at the front desk a fake transit paper. "Oh. I see, you must be the transfer student.." The lady said as she started to search for my file. "Please come with me." I took to the language pretty quickly. As we walked down the halls the lady went on about something., it didn't sound like she was pleased, so I felt glad not knowing the language.

I followed the lady into a room filled with people. She opened the door for me. I walked in to be stared at like some freak show. I heard, watched, felt and smelled them gossiping about my appearance as Mercury said they would. This made me angry, they think they know me. There was a tall adult human standing next to me. Mercury told me to obey the authority type. he must be the instructor.

I ignored the chatter of the human children. "Today, I am pleased to announce we have a new transfer student, Mya Hino." The teacher announced. I looked up at the teacher scanning his face trying to make out who he was. He obviously was a young adult. He looked rather alert and annoyed with his surroundings and his dress style was unfamiliar. He wore some sort of suit with a tie and shinny black shoes. His dress style probably indicates he somewhat has importance and making it clear he wasn't really laid back. Even stance, standing with his arms folded made him out to be something of an uptight person. It's probably a front. I thought not realizing he was talking to me. "I SAID HAVE A SEAT. ." The instructor yelled causing an outburst of laughter from the class. I raised my eyebrows, surprised and walked to the back of the room to the very back seat in the corner.

Every lesson I sat there listening and trying so hard to learn the language. Mercury always told me that humans were slow when it came to learning new things. she was right. Knowledge known by a human that is considered a genius is common sense to any other being. I took in the language and kept it.

Meet Andrew. (3rd person speech)
When that last bell rang, Mya carefully traveled her way out the door trying to avoid anybody from speaking to her. She looked around franticly searching for Mercury. She wasn't there anywhere. Mya downheartedly lingered the path back to the old man's house.

Up ahead of her Andrew walked. He seemed to be walking slower than Mya and almost looking just as sad with his blue, whitewashed eyes.

Andrew's POV
As I walked I heard someone behind me, I turned around to see the new girl. I could tell that she defiantly wasn't what everybody saw her as. The old man said it was a gift, the gift to see the truth. I don't see it as a gift at all. I stopped so she could catch up to me. She gloomily lingered past me, so I decided to linger with her until she would say something. I never heard her say anything all day. As she walked by she glanced up at me but still kept on walking. I knew she was uncomfortable when I walked with her.. "Where are you going?" I asked curiously. She stopped and stared at me angrily.
Mya's POV

This human has been watching me all day. I could tell that he knew something that the other children did not know. it was almost like he could see right through me. When he walked with me, he asked me a question. I was happy to understand it but I was also angry at the fact he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept walking with me all the way to the old man's house and kept speaking to me. trying to get me to talk to him. I found it very odd that he followed me inside and that he seemed to know the old man.

Tea party my imagination's perspective now

They all sat at the table. Mya glaring at Andrew, Andrew staring at Mercury, Mercury looking at Mya, and the old man in the middle observing all. "Andrew is my grandson." The old man promptly stated. "Are you in classes with Mya?" Mercury asked Andrew who sat across from her. He nodded. Mya still sat there glaring at him. Then Mercury asked Mya in their native tongue, "What's wrong?" "He has been annoying me all day." Mya replied, closing her eyes in distress and folding her arms.

"Andrew, do you see?" The old man asked. Andrew casually nodded. "It is a shame that Duo and Ryo can't see things like you." The old man pitied. "Well, what good is it to see but not understand?" Andrew asked. "You do not need to understand. it does not concern you just yet." The old man argued back. Just then, Duo and Ryo walked in the door. " I believe they deserve an explanation." Mercury pointed out. She then left the room along with Mya. Andrew sat there persistently. "ANDREW, I suggest you go home." The old man ordered.

Andrew irascibly bumped into Duo on his way out.; he was always missing out on something.

An explanation

"Do you remember the story I used to tell?" The old man asked. "Old man, you tell lots of stories." Duo sharply replied. The old man sighed. "The stories about your ancestors, the guardian samurais." The old man summarized. "I remember. they used to give me nightmares." Ryo sarcastically retorted. "Your ancestors are not what one is to joke about. They were samurais and were created by the gods to protect a great power within a dimension." The old man seriously explained. However, both of them just sat there uninterested. "Yeah. so.." Ryo dully replied. "And we are supposed to think this is true.. samurais??" Duo differed back. "COME ON. that had to be what-two-three centuries ago." Duo went on. The old man shook his head.. "Oh.. No this has been at least 20 million years ago.." the old man corrected. Duo gave up and decided to go along with the demented old man. "Mercury came here to kill you. but you two. sad things got real lucky. she changed her mind realizing she would get a better deal." The old man ranted on. "What.? I don't get it." Ryo asked tediously. The old mans face turned red from anger. "You will just have to learn on your own." He fumed.
