Hi! this is my plus anima drabble series. I hope you like it. I haven't seen many plus anima stories out there so i thought it'd be cool to make a drabble series. Oh! and if anyone has read my Host Club story, don't worry, i haven't given up on it. The plot bunny is evil and made me have a writers block and forced me to write this instead. Not that i mind though.
Declaimer: i don't own anima or the song. I do own Patrice, Cody, Zane, and Sister Rosa (you'll find out later).
I woke up it was 7
I waited til 11
Just to figure out that
No one would call
Cooro's eyes fluttered open. Harsh sunlight glared into the window of his small, near-empty room.
He jumped out of bed and looked out the window.
"It's pretty early," He noted. "I'll wait for a while until the other kids wake up."
Cooro happily turned and sat on his bed to wait. An hour passed, then two, three, and finally four. No one had come.
Cooro blinked in confusion and walked out of his room and into the hallway. As he looked for the other kids, he heard a voice.
"Good morning, Cooro. I see you slept in late." A woman said.
"Actually, Sister Rosa, I got up a long time ago. I was just looking for the others." Cooro explained.
"Cooro," the nun started. "The other children left about two hours ago to go down to the lake.Didn't anyone come to tell you?"
"No," Cooro replied, slightly hurt. Then he smiled and chuckled. "Hehe guess they just got sidetracked. Oh well, I'll just wait until they come back."
"Are you sure you don't want to do something else, rather than wait?" Sister Rosa asked.
"Nope! I'm good!"Cooro said cheerfully.
I think I've got a lot of friends
But I don't hear from them
Cooro walked out of his room and heard other kids laughing and joking. Cooro smiled. It was his friend. He turned the corner and greeted each of them warmly.
"Hi Cody! Hi Patrice! Hi Zane!"
The three kids stopped laughing and starred at him.
"Oh, hi, Cooro." Patrice groaned.
Zane and Cody looked at her and each other and rolled their eyes. Even though Cooro thought they were his friends, the truth was they hated him.
"What are you guys doing?" Cooro asked innocently.
"What the hell do you think we're doing? We're getting ready for the festival tonight." Zane snapped.
"Oooo. A festival?! Cool! Can I come?" Cooro asked eagerly.
Patrice, Cody, and Zane looked at each other. They began to whisper and Patrice smiled.
"Of course, Cooro! We'll come to get you before we go." she said.
"YAY!" Cooro cheered.
What's another night all alone
When you're spending every day on your own
"It's getting late," Cooro thought. "Wonder where they are."
He got up and began to walk down the halls of the orphanage, looking for his friends.
"Cooro?" someone asked.
Cooro looked up and smiled.
"Hiya, Sister Rosa! Do you know where Patrice, Cody, and Zane are?" Cooro asked.
Sister Rosa's face fell.
"They're at the festival, Cooro. Didn't they tell you?"
"No, they said they would come and get me." Cooro looked at the ground sadly. He gave a weak smile and said.
"Oh well. There'll be other festivals," he pretended to yawn and turned to go back to his room. "I'm kinda sleepy, anyway. I'm gonna go to bed."
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
Tonight
"Hiya guys!"Cooro greeted. "How was the festival last night?"
Patrice, Zane, and Cody glared at him.
"It was fine." Cody said coldly.
"Aw, I wish I went, but I had a great dream last night! Wanna hear about it?!"
"Yeah, sure, whatever!" Patrice snapped.
"Last night," Cooro began. "I had a dream that I met my family. I had a mom, a dad, and an older sister! It was really nice. We were all one big happy family."
Cooro's 'friends' blinked at him and suddenly started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Cooro asked, laughing.
"Yeah right! Like you of all people would have a family!" Zane sneered.
"Yeah, your parents were probably killed by assassins or something." Cody added.
"N-no! That's not what happend," Patrice managed to say through her giggle fits. "His mom had him and was so upset that she had an ugly ass baby that she died and his dad threw him off a cliff to get rid of him! That's how he got his Plus Anima powers!"
At that, Cody and Zane began to laugh even harder.
Cooro just stood there. He slowly turned around and walked back to his room.
"Well, at least their happy and I make them laugh." Cooro thought. But, he knew deep down, what they said had hurt him.
And maybe when the night is dead
I'll crawl into my bed
Staring at these 4 walls again
Cooro lied in his bed, thinking about what his life would be like if he had a family.
"It wouldn't be that great," he thought. "If I wasn't an orphan, I might not have gotten my plus anima powers."
He listened as the nuns told Cody and Zane to quiet down and get some sleep next door. Cooro smiled.
"What am I thinking," Cooro laughed. "I have a family. Patrice, Cody, and Zane. Their my family!"
But, even still, he still kinda wished they were a little nicer to him. But, then again, brothers and sisters were always mean to each other sometimes.Weren't they?
I'll try to think about the last time
I had a good time
Cooro thought about the last real time he had fun. It was probably when he, Patrice, Zane, and Cody played hide and seek last winter when they were in a neighboring town.
He remembered that he had hidden in a bush and waited for them to find him. They didn't.
Cooro also remembered waiting a long time, finally getting fed up with waiting, and falling in a hole and getting buried in the snow for a couple of days.
Weird thing was, when he finally got back, his friends didn't even seem to notice he was gone.
Everyone's got somewhere to go
And they're gonna leave me here
On my own
Cooro realizedthat he really didn't spend to much time with Patrice, Cody, and Zane. Maybe it was because they were always running off to random places and forgetting him behind by accident.
But, they ran off to play, the harder it was for Cooro to believe that they left him by 'accident'.
And here it goes
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me
"Hey, Patrice! What are you doing?" Cooro asked the red-haired girl asshe climbed a large tree.
"What do you think I'm doing, retard," the hazel eyed girl snapped. "I'm climbing this tree."
Cooro blinked and his wings came out of his back. He took off into the air and landed on the branch next to Patrice.
"It's fun isn't it?" Cooro asked cheerfully.
"Yeah it is. Now leave me alone!" Patrice snapped.
Cooro flinchedat the harshness in her voice. He stood up and was about to leave when a bee flew right in front of his face.
"BEE!!!!!!" Cooro screamed. He began to freak out and his wings started beating rapidly.
"Hey! Watch where you're swinging those things!" Patrice yelled.
Suddenly, Cooro backed up and one of his wings hit Patrice by accident.
Patrice gave out an ear-splitting scream and began to fall out of the tree. Cooro spun around and watched in horror as she came close to hitting the ground.
"PATRICE!" Cooro yelled.
He flew downwards as fast as he could in attempt to catch patrice before she fell. But it was to late. Patrice hit the ground with a thud and Cooro heard a sickening cracking sound.
"Patrice!" Cooro called. He landed next to her and bent down.
Relief washed over him when he realized that she was still alive. He also noticed that her arm was bent in a weird position.
"YOU MONSTER! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!" someone screamed.
Cooro looked up and saw Cody and Zane running towards him. Cody kneeled down next to Patrice and Zane violently pushed Cooro away.
What the hell is wrong with me
Don't fit in with anybody
How did this happen to me?
"Look what you did!" Cody yelled.
"It was an accident! I'm sorry!" Cooro replied.
"You wanna know why we hate you and you don't fit in with us," Zane snapped. "It's because you're a Plus Anima! You're a filthy, dirty, hideous, Monster! No one will ever accept or love you because of that!"
Cooro blinked back tears. For the first time in his life, he realized that everyone did hate him because of his powers.
"Leave," Cody barked. "Leave and never come back! Get out of here now, monster!"
Cody picked up a rock and threw it at Cooro. Cooro jumped up and dodged it, but more rocks kept coming. As the crow anima started to fly away, he felt a rock come in contact with his wing and fell to the ground.
"Ha ha! It's like killing a bird with one stone!" Zane laughed.
Cooro stood up, wincing at the pain in his now bleeding wing and ran.
Wide awake I'm bored
And I can't fall asleep
And every night is
The worst night ever
Cooro was curled up into a ball. His giant black wing protected himas he cried his heart out.
His so called 'family' had just disowned him! But, what was worst was the fact that it would be Cooro's fault if Patrice ended up being seriously hurt.
"I wanna go home." Cooro whispered through the tears. He kept repeating that sentence over and over. But he knew that he didn't have a home, not anymore.
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
"Hey, a circus." Cooro murmured.
It had been about two months since he left the orphanage. He flew over to the biggest tent and peeked inside.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, behold," the ringmaster boomed. "The Silver Princess!"
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
"No, please stop! Don't leave me!" Cooro yelled in his sleep.
"Cooro! Cooro! Wake up!" a voice said urgently.
Cooro opened his eyes and saw he was surrounded by his friends.
"My God, I swear you get louder every day." Husky snapped.
Nana glared at him and looked back to Cooro.
"Are you okay, Cooro?" She asked.
Cooro blinked and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Yeah, just had a bad dream that you guys hated me and left me." he whispered.
Cooro felt a pair of arms wrap around him. He looked up and saw Nana hugging him.
"Don't worry. That'll never happen." She assured him.
Cooro nodded and buried his head into her shoulder. He smiled and knew that, as long as Husky, Nana, and Senri were with him, he would never be alone. With them, he was home with his family.
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Nobody wants to be alone in the world
Nobody cares cuz I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me tonight
I'm all alone tonight
Nobody cares tonight
Cuz I'm just a kid tonight
"This place looks familiar." Cooro thought.
"Hey guys," the fifteen-year-old boy asked. "Have we been here before?"
Nana, Husky, and Senri looked at each other.
"Not that we know of, Cooro." Nana answered.
Cooro and his friends turned the corner and saw three people laughing. When they spotted Cooro, they froze. Cooro just stood and starred at them.
"What the hell are you doing here?" The blond boy asked coldly.
"Get the hell out of here!" snapped the dark haired boy.
Cooro blinked in confusion. Suddenly, he remembered why this place was familiar. It was the place he'd run away from three years ago. He was near the orphanage!
It dawned on Cooro who these three people were, too.
"Z-zane? Cody? Patrice?" he asked breathlessly.
Zane picked up a rock and chucked it at Cooro, making contact with his head. The blow from the rock was so powerful that it knocked Cooro to the ground.
"Cooro!" Nana shrieked. She glared at the laughing boys and stomped over to Zane.
" Hay, blondie," she snapped, standing on her tip-toes to meet his eyes. "Knock it off and stop messing with my friend!"
"Oh, this is not gonna end well." Husky muttered. Senri nodded in agreement.
"Hehe. Hey, Cooro," Cody sneered. "The chick with you?" He reached form behind her and grabbed Nana by her arms.
"Well, I'll give you this, Cooro," Zane said, tracing Nana's face with his thumb. "You sure got a good taste in girls. Mind if we take this one off your hands?"
Cooro, Husky, and Senri's eyes widened in fear. Nana was doing her best to fight against the two boys, but it was not use. They were too strong. Patrice just stood there, looking from Husky to Senri to Nana and back to Husky. It was like she was trying to process something.
"How 'bout you be a good girl and give me a little kiss?" Zane laughed, moving his face closer to the now crying Nana.
"NO! LET ME GO!" Nana yelled.
Husky suddenly bolted from where he was standing and yelled "NANA! SCREAM!"
Cooro and Senri covered their ears as Nana let out a super-sonic screech that caused Zane and Cody to let go of her and stumble backward.
Husky raised his staff over his head and slammed it into the side of Zane's head. He grabbed Nana by the hand and pulled her behind him protectively. Husky backed up until he and Nana were standing beside Cooro and Senri again.
"Why you little," Cody growled.
"Guys, be careful! Their all plus anima!" Patrice yelled.
"Yeah, we kinda figured that out, Patrice!" Zane snapped.
"Then leave us alone!" Nana barked, stomping a foot closer to them.
"Well, since their monsters," Cody said, picking up a bow and arrow by his foot. His strung the bow and pulled the arrow back. "I say we get rid of them."
"CODY, NO!" Patrice yelled as he aimed the arrow at Nana.
Cody let go and shot the arrow. It zoomed towards Nana at an extremely fast speed.
"NANA!" Husky, Cooro, and Senri screamed.
Nana held her arms up to shield her face, closed her eyes, and waited for the blow. But, it never came. Instead, she felt two hands grip her shoulders and heard a scream of pain.
Nana's eyes shot open and gaped at what she saw. Cooro was holding onto her with his giant black wings spread out in front of them. A small trickle of dark blood slowly ran down one of the wings, drenching and staining the black feathers with blood.
"Cooro!" She gasped.
"I-it's ok, the arrows not in deep. I'll live." he managed to say.
Husky and Senri were about to charge at Zane and Cody when Cooro looked at him.
"Guys, stop. I'm fine."
Cooro turned and faced Patrice, Zane, and Cody, who were starring at him in shock.
"I'll leave your family alone, as long as you do the same with mine. We'll leave and never come back if you do that." he said.
"Hold still," Husky commanded. He reach up to the arrow sticking out of Cooro's wing and pulled it out.
"Get out of here now!" Cody barked.
"Hey, our friend is hurt! Give us a damn minute to help him and we'll be on our way. If you don't like it, tough!" Husky snapped.
Zane, Patrice, and Cody waited as Nana, Senri, and Husky tended to Cooro's wing. Once they had it bandaged up, they stood up and began to leave.
"Hey, I'm curious," Cooro suddenly said, turning to Patrice, Cody, and Zane. "If you guy's hate plus anima, why do you still hang around with Patrice?"
"WHAT?!" everyone (save Senri) exclaimed.
"Patrice isn't a plus anima!" Zane snapped.
Senri walked over to Patrice, gently grabbed a lock of her hair and sniffed it.
"Fox." he said.
"Patrice," Cody cried. "I-is it true?"
Patrice looked at the ground sadly and nodded.
"When did it happen?" Zane asked coldly.
"When I got chased by those muggers a couple of years ago." she whispered.
"Do you guys think she's a monster now?" Cooro asked.
Cody and Zane said nothing.
Cooro walked up to Patrice and held out his hand.
"If they think you're a monster now, and they do to you what they did to me, you're welcome to come with us." he offered.
Patrice looked at Cooro in shock. After all the mean things she'd done to him in the past, he was willing to let her come with him.
She was just about to take his hand when Zane and Cody pushed in front of her.
"No way is she going with you, raven boy." Cody snapped.
"Actually, I'm a crow plus anima." Cooro corrected.
"Whatever, just because Patrice is the way she is doesn't mean we'll disown her! So stop trying to break our family apart and go back to yours." Zane snapped.
Cooro blinked and smiled.
"Okay," he turned to his friends and said. "Come on guys, lets go."
As they left, Cooro looked over his shoulder and saw Patrice showing her family her anima form. Cody was asking multiple questions and Zane was playing with her fox like ears.
Cooro smiled.
"Maybe, if everyone just accepted that plus anima were people too, this world would be a whole lot better," Cooro thought. "I can defiantly tell that things are starting to change for the better."
ok! it's done. I hope you liked it! Sorry for the long after story, but who cares. My story so nah! and yes, i put in hints of HuskyxNana and CooroxNana because you barely see HuskyxNana and i haven't ever seen a trace of CooroxNana.
