The World Ends With You
Twister
Prologue
The sound of the bell ringing signaled in Sanea Hanekoma's ears and he turned around cheerily to say,"Sorry, but we're closed. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow-"
"Lord only knows when the place will be open then." The familiar voice quickly cut Hanekoma off.
Standing in the middle of his cafe was a boy, about fifteen, with shaggy, silver hair and lavender eyes. He wore a dark blue, button-up t-shirt, black pants and black shoes that had silver buckles. Around his left wrist was a dark, blue sweatband and around his neck was a simple gold chain with a skull hanging from it.
"J?" The older man asked, almost in disbelief,"That you?"
Yoshiya Kiryu, or Joshua, gave a small sigh but then smirked saying,"Yes, Mr. H, it's me. Very nice to see you again. It's been a couple weeks, hasn't it?"
"A couple weeks? It's been nearly two months! Where have you been?" Though he tried to sound casual, there was no denying the slight worry in the man's voice.
Two months. It had been almost two months since he had last seen Joshua. Ever since the game had ended with Neku, it was as if the Composer had disappeared. No matter what the older man tried, he couldn't reach Joshua and, for some reason, could not enter the Dead God's Pad, let alone the throne room.
"I've been-'around'." The way Joshua said it made it sound like he was plotting something against the higher plane,"I was walking by and decided to stop and pay a visit." If Sanea knew Joshua, then he knew that was, at least, a half-lie. However, he wasn't about to get on the other's bad side right now, he was just happy to see he was okay.
"If you say so,"The producer smiled,"Glad to see you're fine, though. Need anything?" At first, it looked like the silver-haired teen was about to decline, but a glance over his shoulder seemed to say enough.
"Actually, do you mind if I stay here for the night? I've been having a sort of rough patch and I need a small rest." If Mr. H knew anything, he knew a 'rough patch' usually meant either the higher ups were getting on him again, Shibuya's music was too loud tonight, or something was really wrong and Joshua's only safe haven was this cafe.
Not really wanting any of those things to be true, the barista replied with a grin,"Of course! Just head on up. I have to get something for one of my murals so I'll be back in a bit once I'm done cleaning up."
A quick nod was all that was needed and the teen headed upstairs.
Joshua listened carefully after he shut the room's door. The faint sound of the bell giving a jingle was all he needed to know that Sanea had left and he let out a sigh of relief. As much as he trusted his 'employee', this was one thing he was not getting him involved in.
The simple truth was, Joshua had been out on a walk. He had been passing through, but that was back towards Cadoi City. It was also around there when he felt it. A presence. It was a strange one and it didn't resonate like an angel's, but it didn't have the vibe of a reaper either. He had been able to ignore it for awhile and continued on his walk, but everywhere he went the person, or thing, seemed to be there.
It didn't take him long to figure out that whomever, or whatever, was following him. It was around the underpass near Miyashita Park that he finally lost them and came straight to Wild Kat.
In truth, it probably wasn't fair to Sanea-he had been ignoring quite a few people for the past two months, including the Producer-but he couldn't afford to take chances. If it wasn't for his stalker, he more than likely would've kept on ignoring him and everyone else. However, if this was someone after his position-
"Just great," Joshua sighed, falling foreward onto the soft bed,"and after everything Neku had gone through, too."
Neku. As much as he hated to admit it, he actually missed his proxy. He had been upset that he couldn't visit with him at Hachiko, but he just couldn't. There was also the fact that, because of his game with Megumi that he was in this current position and he just couldn't see the boy.
Suddenly, Joshua's eyes snapped open. He had been putting his head into the pillow, so maybe he didn't hear the bell, but he did feel another presence. Sanea? A quick feel of the cafe alerted him that it was a negative. Sanea hadn't returned, then who was here?
The Composer slowly propped himself onto his elbows, trying to get a feel of whatever was there and see if he could catch any sounds. Oddly enough, there was nothing but silence. Normally, being Composer, would allow Joshua to be able to hear Shibuya's music, no matter where he was. Though it was fainter in buildings, he could always hear the beautiful music of his city. That was the opposite of now. Sure he could block out the music if he wanted, but he hadn't. Searching his memory, Joshua remembered he could hear the faint pop music of Shibuya beginning to play and now it was suddenly silent. This was not good.
Slowly, deliberately, Joshua turned his head to look at the ceiling
And quickly rolled off the moment the black figure made to land. The springs popped and the bed creaked from the impact and they turned to face Joshua, who was now a few feet away from the mattress. They wore black and a hood was pulled up so the teen couldn't see their face, but he could make out one red eye. Said eye glared at him, and they hunched up, ready to spring.
Joshua pulled his orange cell out of his pocket the moment they launched themselves and he quickly shot a beam of light. They flew backwards and banged into the wall and he scrambled to his feet.
"Who are you!?" The boy demanded, but all they did was shake off the nausea of the attack and gave a growl. They lunged at him once more, this time a pair of claws out and ready. They kept slashing at Joshua and he had no choice but to continue to dodge, hoping for an opening. He saw it and quickly fired a beam, pushing his opponent back.
He pressed a button on his phone, perhaps a little harder than necessary, and yelled,"Just die!"
An orange bike appeared out of thin air and dropped towards the attacker. They seemed to have noticed it and grabbed it. With great strength they crushed it in their grip then threw the poor bike in a nearby corner, out of the way.
Joshua let out a string of curses he was sure even Neku would be shocked at and dodged the oncoming claw so it scratched the wall instead of the Composer's chest. However, the attacker turned around and quickly batted him with the back of his hand, sending him bouncing onto the bed. They pounced on top of him successfully trapping the young male. Raising their claw, they aimed to shred him, but soon got a pillow shoved in their face, blocking their vision.
Joshua took the opprotunity and pulled himself off the bed and onto the floor. With a growl, his assaliant shredded the pillow and began to search for his escaped prey. Instead, he recieved yet another pillow to the head that exploded with energy and sent him hurling into the head board, cracking it.
The silverette stood panting at the other end, the hand that had thrown the pillow raised with his phone incase of another attack. When his assaliant failed to move, he turned to head for the door. However, before he could get far, something shattered on the back of his skull and he pitched foreward. The teen landed on the floor with a grunt his vision swimming in and out of black. The last thing he saw before falling unconcious was a pair of black boots.
Hey there folks! The name's and it's great to be here! Anyway, here's the prologue to Twister. Please excuse if any of the characters were too ooc, I'll try to keep them as ic as possible throughout this whole story. I should probably get this out of the way now, but if any of you decide to review I do not wish to see any flames. You may give constructive criticism, but please be gentle with it. Let me know if I have any grammatical or spelling errors that I may have missed. I recently became a fan of this game a year or two ago and absolutely love it! I can't wait to see what you guys think. Please remember that this is the prologue and the 'real' story, will start in chapter 1. Also, this is not yaoi. It is pure friendship. Sorry fangirls(and boys)!
Sincerely,
Update! I fixed the formating and some other small things guys! Hopefully it'll be easier to read and enjoy!
