Chapter 1, Fragrance

Allen wondered what he was doing there in the first place. He sighed as he stacked the bottles containing stuff he did not want to know about.

"The science department is pretty laid back, despite what they make . . . right Timcanpy?" I smiled as Tim nodded his head 'yes' I then proceeded to climb the ladder to put away a box. Just then a loud boom moved the floor, so that the ladder would slip & fall. My back hit the floor with a dull thud making me un-able to move. A gas from the bottle snaked its way around the room in all of its raging, white sparkling glory, hell-bound to devour everything in the room in its gnarling demon stomach. I saw Tim fly around my head for a bit then left to find help. I was left alone to breathe in its sweet, yet deadly white orchid fragrance. I tried to fight fiend off sleep. "Looking at that cloud of white hurts my eyes, I think I will stay here for a while. Maybe it won't hurt to close my eyes for a while." I gave in to sleep in the end, how pathetic. I gave in to one of Komui's wacky potions. I must be asking for a death wish or something.

. . .

It was midnight, midnight on Christmas day, and the sky was shedding its frozen, crystallized tears called 'snowflakes' on to the frozen ground. There stood a little boy that lay in the street, almost meeting his end. He would have had died if it had not been for his father, or should I say, stepfather as per calling him this boy's father. The boy's 'father' pushed his 'son' out of the way of the stray dog cart*. He had just told his 'son' the words that he will never forget, and live up to those words as best as he could.

"Never stop walking, keep moving forward."

. . .

Memories, my memories, were flying by so fast, but the weird thing was, that they were flowing backwards. It stopped flowing backwards a week before Mana had died, stopping today, years ago on the same day.

"wha' the 'ell 'appened? Ma' body hurts' all ova! Damn!" I stopped as I heard feet rushing to where I was, trying to stand, I failed to do so.

"Moyashi! Where are you? Hey! Leenalee, did your brother make some de-ageing potion or something? Because, I think that, that is Moyashi over there, you know the little boy over in Allen's clothing?" A read-head pirate-wanna-be pointed at my direction.

"HE'SSOCUTE!" A Asian girl ran towards me, only for me to bite her hand and back away and go into a defense position, and glare at them.

"Who the 'ell are ya guys? Ya don' seem ta be in da circus! Did anotha ' buncho basterds hi'a ya bunch ta beat ma?" I glared daggers into their dumb thick skulls. The Asian girl just stared, the male/female Asian tried to hide his/her's smile, and the wanna-be-pirate was rigged and silent, just staring into my mind, trying to evaluate if I was saying the truth. Which I was. The wanna-be-pirate shouted:

"Get Him!" So resulted in those three in failing over each other, while , even impaired by the numbness, got away from them with ease. Though towards the end, the male/female got out his (I found out his sex later when I heard him curse, I just refuse to call such a girly man a man) sword and depleted my stamina faster, and thus I fainted from exhaustion. I heard them yell at it for something, and carry me some place I feared to go too.
