In Which Yako gets very, VERY possessed...
So, after leaving it alone and unposted for months, I've picked up work on my MTNN fanfic, Monster. Chapters 1 and 2 are currently posted on ff.net under the name chibi-no-oneesan. Chapters 3 is mostly completed, however, I must go back through and flush out one or two things, before I'll be happy with it. Chapter 4 is partially done at this point as well. It's been especially fun writing chapter 4, since that's when Yako gets possessed by the baddie. We get to see Yako and Neuro fight on somewhat equal footing, which still results in Yako being very unconscious at the end of the fight. I'm looking forward to the next few chapters even more, due to how Neuro is going to solve the possession problem. Neuro is a blast to write. He's so sadistic and evil, but he's got this twisted way that he sometimes shows he cares about Yako (hurting her, threatening her, etc.). After the Aya Asia part in the manga and anime, he displays this as well. He pins her by her head to the ceiling (using his knee), and gives her a little speech on how she shouldn't forget, because to forget was to forget to evolve, which cheers her up greatly.
I've finished writing Chapter 9 of Memoirs, as well as Chapter 3 of the Devil does Exist (also listed under chibi-no-oneesan), but I'm still waiting for my beta to send back the other chapter's I've sent her. I'm currently three chapters ahead of where she is, so I'll probably put off writing on that story for awhile. Which is probably best, since I have far to many other stories to finish (under both names). I've determined that my quasi-smutty IY story Birthright will come down sometime next week and probably go into hibernation until it's completed, at which point I'll post it on Mediaminer.org and aff.net. A Tale of Two Hearts will not be updated until I've completed the story, which I'm currently trying to figure out where it's going (an idea is great, but I've no idea where it will go from here). Anyways, here's a little excerpt from the chapter of Monster I'm working on:
Yako stood at the edge of the onsen, looking in. Why was she hesitating? Her body shouldn't be hesitating. It should be moving towards her tormentor, where she'd spend her next several days in intense pain and mental anguish.
So why was she still standing here?
There was the sound of footfall behind her and she turned, finding bright green eyes looking at her.
“You're possessed.” He said, smiling that knowing smile. “Hello, Agon.”
She smiled an evil smile, revealing sharp, jagged, blackened teeth. “Nougami Neuro. I must admit it was a surprise to see you at the crime scene. When you disappeared from hell, the last place I expected to see you was here among the humans. Is this your puppet? This...Katsuragi Yako?”
He inclined his head, smiling inanely. “She is a valued slave, a useful tool.” He explained. “She's unintelligent, has the brain of a grasshopper, but she is a tool I've spent five years honing. I do not appreciate it when someone steals that which belongs to me.”
“Have you used her in every way then?” Yako's hand swept down, slipping within the folds of the yukata, at the apex of her thighs. “Was her body delicious? Did it make you want? Did you take her, Nougami Neuro? Have you destroyed her innocence? Or will that be my pleasure?”
Neuro straightened his head, still smiling, belying none of his thoughts. “Why on earth would I lower myself to mate with a human, Agon? Lust is a base emotion. A human emotion. And as you well know, if it is not a puzzle, I am simply not interested.” He moved towards the possessed girl, amused. “You always did want someone else's toy.” He tilted his head, hearing the sound of footfall approaching rapidly.
“Her pain is delicious. Her fear is like fine wine. The best I've had since I've arrived in the Human realm.” That voice which was Yako's yet not said, moving towards him. “I've peered into this girls dreams and they're terrible, dark, disturbed. She was ripe for the picking.”
“Nougami!” Sasazuka's voice rang out from behind him. “Yako.”
Neuro didn't turn to face the detectives. “Keiji-san, I really must request you stay back.” He said in that cheerful tone. He didn't pull his eyes from the girl before him. He smiled inanely, unbuttoning his jacket. “Since that weak little body you've put yourself inside human, I suppose I'll have to hold back.” He slipped his arms from the jacket, casting it aside.
“So worried about this husk of flesh?”
The taunt caused Neuro to smile darkly. “I've tortured that body plenty. More than you will know. Her tolerance for fear and pain is surprisingly high. Unfortunately, it's taken five years to me to build up her reputation to what it is today. It is simply too much work for me to find another puppet.” He laughed that insane laugh and lunged. “Prepare yourself!”
Yako danced back, surprisingly fast, not falling into the onsen, instead, standing on the water, her toes causing ripples in the water. She lifted a hand and her nails grew into sizable talons. She slashed, and Neuro had the momentary shock of feeling one slice his arm at the shoulder.
He turned, his smile never leaving his lips. “Oh yes, Agon, do make me fight for it. Nothing would give me greater pleasure.” He darted forward again, gripping the wrist of the hand that had those deadly talons and used it to slam her body into the ground. She hit the ground and rolled back to her feet, slashing at him as she went. He danced out of the way, those talons slicing his vest. The attempted another pass, her figure lunging closer, but he wrapped a hand around that wrist, wrapped the other around the throat, slamming her against the ground once again.
“Neuro...please...” Yako's voice whispered, and he looked towards her eyes, distracted by the plea for the briefest moment.
It was enough. The other hand punched the side of his face, and pain exploded in his jaw. Evidentially, the possession had made her body stronger, more resilient. He snarled darkly at her, even as her feet wedged against his chest, and she shoved him away. His talons tore at her throat, and blood began to flow. It wasn't enough to kill her, but perhaps it would slow her.
He neatly flipped back to his feet, watching as Yako stood, blood dripping down her neck, staining the collar of the yukata.
Yako laughed inhumanly, insanely. It was a cackle of victory. She lunged towards him and Neuro let her get within his guard, wrapping an arm around her back and slamming his fist as hard as he could into her stomach. He watched her eyes bug slightly and then she slumped slowly, fainting. He looked down into her oddly peaceful face and frowned deeply. She was out cold. Those talons had retracted, leaving her normal nails in their place.
And that's all yer gettin'! Nyaa ;p Anyways, enjoy.
As a side not, I might have broken my ass today. Seriously. I was walking into the bank, and slipped, and landed on my back/backside. I've either bruised or broken my tail bone. It freaking hurts like hell.
