X/1999 Fan Fiction ❯ X Tales ❯ The Shikigami ( Chapter 2 )

A/N: Well, here it is, the first Halloween story. Although this story is not scary, it was.... how should I say it, it was used as a Halloween story in the Simpson's episode. However, I changed it very differently and some of the sentences are exaclty the same as the original story. So, I gave these extra credits to our decease author, Edgar Allan Poe. Now, before you read the story, there's two things you need to know. One is the conversation between Kamui and Fuuma will be Italic since I don't want their conversations mess up with the story that Fuuma telling. And two, you might find the story confuse since the present and past tenses are all scramble up. The reason why the story is all scramble up is because I had trouble trying to make it rhyme, so once again, just bear with me. Thank you for reading this memo and please enjoy reading this..... peculiar fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own X or Edgar Allan Poe's, 'The Raven.'

"Let's see, since this story doesn't exist yet, I'll think I call it, `The Shikigami'."

"The Shikigami?"

"Yes, the Shikigami."

"But that's a lame title! How could you call it a horror story with a lame title, `The Shikigami'?"

"Ah, but you didn't hear the whole story. So, let me tell you....."

Once upon a midnight dreary,

While Subaru was angst and weary-

"Wait a minute, isn't this story similar to Edgar Allan Poe's?"

"No, now be quiet. You're interrupting the story."

Having an glass eye in his wrapping,

Suddenly, there came a tapping.

It was a gentle rapping,

-rapping at his apartment door.

"It must be a visitor," he muttered.

"Tapping at my entrance door-

That's it and nothing more."

As Subaru angst in the bleak December

With his lover's ofuda fell upon the floor-

He wished it was tomorrow

Because the book he had borrow

From Fuuma was full of sorrow-

A sorrow for his lost Seishirou-

For his sister's murderer named Seishirou-

His name was unknown for evermore.

Silken, sad, and uncertain

Were the rustle of his curtain.

It made Subaru's eye so sore

That he never felt sleepy before.

Never want to get out of his seating,

Subaru sighed, repeating-

"Who could it be at my door?

A visitor whose mind so poor

Who came so late and nothing more."

Yet, his angst grew stronger

And he couldn't stand it longer.

"Excuse me, Madam or Sir,

For your forgiveness, I implore.

Because you're making me sapping

From all that tapping,

Right on my entrance door-

But if you are a whore,

Then quit knocking on my door!"

As Subaru opened the door with his might,

He was nothing more, but empty night.

Aware the 13th Sumeragi peering

Into the darkness with no fearing-

He bears the pain he felt so tore

That no one dared to dream before.

But the silence was unbroken

And without giving his mind a token,

He heard a whispered word,

A word which was called "Seishirou"-

It came from Subaru's mouth, no more,

For an echo cried back, "Seishirou!"

Merely this and nothing more-

With nothing there, he made a turning,

As his tired eye felt like burning,

There came a knock and furthermore,

It was louder than before.

He sarcastic said, "Oh, this is surely nice

For someone knocking on my window lattice-

Oh, I can't take it anymore

Because I am so sore

And my heart is too wore,

Yet, this mystery will be explore,

It must be a wind and nothing more!"

Subaru went and flung his shutter

As tiny dusts flew and flutter.

Never in his life, present and yore,

Came a bird that his lover adore-

The Shikigami flew pass Subaru's tea

Elegantly of what Sumeragi see

It was admire and with no bore,

Once it perched above Subaru's door.

As it resting from its soar,

Sitting above his apartment door,

Just perched and sat, and nothing more.

This bird was then beguiling,

Which made Subaru's frown into smiling-

The Sumeragi could have sworn

That the bird came to make his heart so torn-

"I thought it was a raven."

Subaru cried with no craven.

Yet, his curiosity grew furthermore,

Wonder why it wandered from its nightly shore.

He questioned, "Why did you come here for?"

Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

"What? `Feed Tree more'? Why the hell it would say that?" Kamui cried. His Twin Star gave him an annoying look before he replied.

"Now, what did I tell you about interrupting my story? I told you to be quiet. And as for your questions, it's coming up. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the quoting....."

With such anger that Subaru gain,

The anger from his haunted pain-

An image of his lover had his mind flood

One with the hand covered in his sister's blood.

Subaru wished that he could die

To end his life as time passes by-

"Can't you see that I'm too worn?

And I've already fed the Tree before.

Also, my resting is so poor,

So I would say, `Nevermore.'"

But Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

Wishing that he was so lonely,

Yet, this bird spoke these words only.

Those words that Shikigami had tour

Made Subaru's impatient outpour-

He cried, "Can't you see that I an tire

Of killing innocents with no desire-

If you want that Tree to be feed,

Then stab my heart and let it bleed!"

Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

Silence had not been unbroken

After what the bird had spoken.

"How delightful!" Subaru mutter,

"This bird speaks nothing, but utter

Nonsense about its master-

Oh, how unmerciful disaster!"

He couldn't handle it anymore

Of that bird above his door-

With a vengeance Subaru swore

To have that spirit to be tore

If it utter, "Feed Tree more."

Never want to be annoy one bit,

Sumeragi decided to get rid of it.

He grabbed a chair which its height was four

And brought it up in front of his door-

Stepping carefully from where he would stand

Subaru decided to kill it with his hand.

"Why won't you leave me alone?

For I am tire, all skin and bone,

I'll feed the Tree some other day,

But now, let me rest!" He would say.

Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

Wanted to shut up the bird so spite,

That onmyouji thrust his hand with no rite.

Seeing what Subaru did within its sight,

The Shikigami did nothing, but took flight.

Unable to withhold his balance,

Subaru fell off with no chance.

Perching back above the door,

Shikigami had made itself gloated over

Of Sumeragi lying on the floor,

Then without furthermore,

It quoted, "Feed Tree more."

Onmyouji gave that spirit a glare,

Yet, all it did was a give a stare.

Refused to give the bird a pout,

That Sakurazukamori gave a shout.

"You devilish foul wretched bird,

I'll get rid of you for sure.

If you weren't a pet of Seishirou,

I would have disembodied you!

Yet, you did care if I'm sore

While idly sat upon my door,

Telling me to feed the Tree more-

Oh, I feel that this is evil,

For Seishirou is like my devil

Who never want me to have peace

By having my rest to cease-"

With that bird who sat above,

Reminded Subaru of his dead love

Where his heart were full of woo

By just thinking of Seishirou-

On the Promise Day was due,

The day where he killed Seishirou-

Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

"Be that word our sign of parting,

You wretched bird!" Subaru shouted, up starting,

"Go back from where you soar

For I had had it evermore!

Take my rudeness as your token

Because of your words you had spoken.

Now, leave me alone once more

And get off of my door!

Right now, I'm really sore,

So let me rest I implore!"

But Shikigami quoted, "Feed Tree more."

Subaru threw his ofudas at that spirit

Because he was anguish every bit.

It surrounded the bird above the door

Before fell dead upon the floor-

Now that he got rid of his pest,

Sumeragi can finally get his rest.

He threw the corpse right out the window,

Hoping it disappeared into the shadow.

Tired and his energy so poor,

Subaru went and closed his bedroom door,

So he wouldn't hear, "Feed Tree more."

"So Kamui, what do you think?" Fuuma said as he took off his sunglasses. What he saw before him was a sulked face of his Twin Star. He sensed no fear within the Dragon of Heaven, just annoyed and confused. Kamui replied.

"You expect me to be scare by that load of shit?"

"Well, it's gloomy, dark, and-"

"It's full of craps! You said you were going to tell me a horror story, but what you've given was a crappy story about an angst guy who gets piss off by a bird who talked and Subaru as Sakurazukamori? That's bullshit, there's no way Subaru would become a Sakurazukamori!"

"I told you before, this story doesn't exist yet. This was set in the future, so you'll never know when Subaru would become the next Sakurazukamori."

"Well, I don't give a damn about the future. What I know is you give out a terrible story. I mean, how the hell it going to scare me if you keep giving me stories that is craps?"

The Dark Kamui gave the Seal a scowl look and placed his sunglasses back before replied. "Fine, I won't give you any terrible story. I'll tell you another horror story and this story is a lot better than `The Shikigami'. But first, I need to get something."

The Angel rose up from his seat and opened the door. Before he left, he looked at Kamui through his sunglasses as if he could read his aura. The Dark Twin Star smiled and gently shut the door.

A/N: (Sweatdrop) Like I said before, you might find this story confuse. To understand what he's talking about, I'll summarize. Subaru was angst and tired when he heard a noise. He opened a door and saw no one there. When he heard a noise, he opened his window and Shikigami came and sat above his door. Asking why it came, the bird wants Subaru to feed the Tree. Tired and want to be left alone, Subaru wanted that spirit to go away. Yet, the spirit didn't leave. So Subaru killed it and went to bed. There, I hope you'll understand. Now, why did Fuuma leave when he had another story to tell? What sort of 'something' did 'Kamui' mean? And will Kamui be able to get his rest? To find out, please wait for another chapter. The hints for the next chapter is Kamui, Shiken Sword, and Sakurazukamori. Thank you for reading this story and please feel free to review or send a Halloween story for me.
