I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING BUT MY OCs (KATIE WALKER/YUUSUKE USUI/EMMA TATE/MINAMI TOKURA/HARU FUJISAKI)

​

I stomp my boots on the cold cemented sidewalk to get the dirt off. The lamp post above my head instantly flickers off as the sun rises in the east. A short jog around the neighborhood before school is a routine I made with my best friend, Minami Tokura, who lives next door.

I lean against the inactive lamp post as I wait for said neighbor to appear by her porch. I assume that she’s trying out the sport shoes that her dad got her last week. Minami’s popularity on social media is no surprise considering selfies and mirror shots are basically her life. Nothing’s changed, really. Ever since she moved into the house next to mine, and when we met for the first time.

Only then does she choose to appear by the porch. Minami waves enthusiastically at me as she bounces on the steps, “Good morning! I’m sorry I’m late!” She apologizes in Japanese. I look down at her shoes and smirk when my theory had proved to be correct, “Oh, that’s wet paint” I raise a brow, looking up at her. What? “You’re leaning on wet paint, idiot!” I remove myself from the pole and shriek. 

She isn't kidding. It really is wet paint. I show my back to her, “Is it bad?”

“E-Eto ” She murmurs and I remove my jacket. If it had been brown paint, I would say shit right now. Wait, I’ll just say it anyway. Shit… Okay… It's bad; like, really bad. There's a huge spot of black on my white parka. My eye twitches. Mist is so going to kill me, Katie Walker.

I’m 14 years old and I live in Hidakagawa, Japan –with my adoptive father who is more like an elder brother to me- Mist Walker. I’m an otaku who loves watching Naruto. I used to be into Black Butler, but now I just read fanfiction about them. I especially support Ciel and Sebastian because they’re just so adorable! However, I only finished the 1st season because I'm so busy reading fanfiction to be watching the 2nd season.

When I was 9 at the time, Mist caught me watching Naruto and demanded an explanation about the show. After explaining that Naruto was a ninja and other awesome stuff, he dragged me into town and brought me to some training center. At first, I didn’t even know what was on his mind. But then, I noticed the people with belts with different colors such as- yellow, black, white, green, blue and red. Turns out, Mist actually wanted me to get involved with martial arts like- Taekwondo and Kendo. I was like… why? 

He just said something about not being able to defend me sometimes, and I agreed to it straight. However, my way of seeing it wasn’t the same as his; A chance to maybe be in the same category as Naruto’s awesomeness? Taking it! So, I’m currently a black belt in Taekwondo and also one of the younger seniors in Kendo. But other than that, I suppose many can say that I’m just one of those people who are hyper and super-annoying. Oddly enough, only Minami and another friend of mine can stand being with me. 

I dump my jacket in the washing machine,“God” I groan. I face her and lean against the washing machine, "what are the chances that this will be fine after a wash?" Mist is gonna kill me when he discovers that I just –carelessly- ruined the jacket that he got me on my first birthday with him. 

Minami gives me a strained smile. “Sorry… maybe I should’ve written a note on it" I almost glare at her, but I just heave a sigh, “I’m really sorry!” She bows.

​

"It's okay, we still up for jogging?" She shrugs; probably not. It's days like this where I truly mourn about being a human in the world where there's no Sebastian Michaelis, and no Naruto Uzumaki either. Oh, why can’t I be in a world where there's a cute, funny and hyper hokage? I’ve always imagined myself as a –this is only a wannabe thing, so… yeah- genderbend of Naruto. But, that ain’t possible because I’m not awesome enough. But I’m close! I’m sure! So boring and we have nothing to do. Usually, I’d be all like –must read fanfic! Don’t got enough time, shit! I hate school! But today, I’m just like… meh, so boring. I got nothing to read, nothing to watch, and nothing to do. Damn it! I wish I could be in the same world as Sebastian, that’d be fun… I could have some Tacos with Bard! That would be awesome!

Minami suggests that we should go watch a movie later to cover this whole thing up. I just nod and wave her off, telling her to go home first. I don’t want her being involved when Mist finds out about this… mess. 

You mean… IF he finds out!

Ever since I discovered the presence of Inner Sakura in Sakura’s mind, mine just suddenly popped up and started cursing like she was Hidan (1). I told Mist about it, and he just said that it was just my rage. Most people have them, like a tiny voice in your mind telling you to curse or do something bad. I didn’t really know if I should believe him, so I just shrugged the topic off.

I land on the couch with the TV remote in my hand and flick through the channels. Hopefully, there’s something good to watch, which, after 20 seconds, I decide that the answer is a negative.
I sigh and press the power button before flinging it somewhere. I roll my eyes before deciding to take a nap. Well, school doesn’t start for another few hours so… nappy time!

“Oh, come on, Katherine” Emma chuckles at me, speaking in English as I tug on my school skirt again. How dare she use that name? That isn’t even my name!

 

“Just get over it, he said sorry!"

 

I blush when I remember what had happened just moments ago. While I had been trying to head upstairs to my Biology class, a senior named Yuusuke Usui had peeked under my skirt. The worst part was that the bastard never had a chance to actually close it back, so it was just left open for everyone to see! That was so embarrassing! Why, Gravity? When I don’t want you to work, you work. And suddenly you are NEEDED to work, you slack off! I swear; I literally just couldn’t hold it in. In the end, I just punched him in the face.

​

In order to not be sued, Yuusuke offered me his service, and it isn't like he's poor or anything. In fact, he's pretty rich. He just did so in order to make sure his parents never found out about it. So now, he’s my minion. He has to do everything I tell him to. We agreed that he would be my minion only till the time when I grow restless of him. And all I need to say are these few words; “I don’t need you anymore” 

He told me that I had the right to ask him for anything exclusive of illegal actions such as murder, rape, submissive, robbery, and betrayal.

“Yeah, I apologized, didn't I?" 

Yes, he and his friend are with us at the moment. Emma Tate is a classmate of mine who moved here from Canada, and she's normally with me after school and during lunch. Haru Fujisaki is Yuusuke and Minami’s classmate. Haru convinced Yuusuke to apologize to me. He’s really surprised that I got Yuusuke as my minion, so he’s literally just tagging along to watch my awesomeness unfold –IMAGINATION. Minami was usually busy during days like these since she’s a senior and she’s REALLY busy studying. I admire her for trying.

Now allow me to introduce you to Lord-Pervert himself.

​

Yuusuke Usui is your typical prince that every girl wants for herself, but he's not as angelic. He's this shameless predator that beds every woman he sees. With a crazy height of 190 cm, he pretty much managed to seduce every single chick on the street. I'm not even surprised if half the school ain't virgin anymore thanks to him. Thankfully, Mist raised me to not fall prey to his tactics. Minami and Emma aren't blind thanks to me, so I'm pretty sure they're safe from Yuusuke's clutches.

​

"Silence, minion! I demand your obedience!" 

"What movie are we going to watch?” Emma asks as she picks up her pace to match mine. Yuusuke does the same, just in a lazier way and Haru is walking directly behind me, not making any move of changing his position, “We’re going to pick Minami-Senpai up from her house then head over to the cinema, right?” 

I nod at the red-headed Canadian, “We will be watching that new Naruto movie! You know; Road to Ninja!” Emma raises an eyebrow as Yuusuke groans in annoyance. He mumbles stuff about Naruto being shitty. I punch him in the gut while Haru laughs out loud at our interaction. 

“Wasn’t that released a long time ago? I mean; I think that I’ve already heard about it last year” The groaning boy manages to ask. It's no surprise that the Usui prodigy is fluent in English. 

“Yeah, so what? It’s the only anime movie out today” I give him an excuse just as we halt at Minami’s blue little house, “Oi! Minami!!” And thus, the dark haired girl reveals herself by her porch, “Well, hurry up, just because we're not late doesn't mean we should wait for Usui to grow again” She pauses, clearly surprised when she spots the boy behind me. 

​

I merely chuckle at her reddened cheeks. I'm partly glad that Yuusuke and Haru are with us, because now at least we have a chance to set Minami up with Haru, somebody she's crushed on since our first year.

“Let’s go!”

T

“Oi, Walker” I groan in my sleep, waking up to a familiar face.

 

“Kami-sama, I can’t believe you were actually sleeping through the movie that you wanted to watch so badly” My eyes scan the area. We're still in the theatre which is dimly lit and empty, only my faithful minion and I remained. He holds onto our school bags as he stands, crouching slightly to lean over me.

I yawn, squirming in my chair as I stretch lazily,“Where are the others?”

 

He stands straight, backing up to make room for me, “They left a while ago when I was trying to wake you up. You’re one heavy sleeper, you know that?” I shake my head. I never really realized that side of me, but I know I am a lazy ass person who always does half-assed things. I get onto my feet and descend down the stairs with Yuusuke following me from behind, “Am I supposed to call you Lady Walker, or Master Walker? Or even Walker-sama?”

I“As much as it is humiliating for you and at the same time entertaining for me, you can call me by my name. But I get to call you names like; minion, fool, idiot, bastard, jack-ass and such,” I stop at a step before turning to him with my hand out towards him, “Deal?”

He smirks lazily, “You’ll enjoy torturing me, won’t you?” He shakes my hand without hesitation, squeezing my palm slightly before letting go. He looks at his watch, “It’s already late. We should get going”

Just as we pass by the big screen, the lights suddenly flicker off. The air conditioning that was previously heard dims into dead silence, “What was that?” Even the light for the EXIT is off. My instincts kick in and I automatically get into a defensive stance, one I had learnt in Taekwondo. I hear a sharp intake of breath next to me and I assume it's Yuusuke being a pussy.

​

I'm about to call him one when the floor beneath me vibrates lightly and I can feel footsteps on the very floor we're on. Someone else is here with us, but we can't see them thanks to the darkness. I pull Yuusuke back when the footsteps become erratic. Step after step, it starts to feel fainter. And I realize that they are escaping.

“Oh no you don’t!” I yell without thinking any further and run straight.

“Walker!” I hear Yuusuke yell. All of a sudden, the projector is on.

 

On the screen is a man wearing a dope red mask as he knits... a sweater? It doesn't look half bad, though.

 

Thanks to the light from the screen, I can now see Yuusuke by the exit with a distressed look, as I stand front and center at the screen.

 

“What da hell?” Yuusuke exclaims aloud, watching as the red masked fellow continues to merrily knit. Interesting…

 

I wonder whom he’s knitting it for, perhaps his mother? Or even his--

 

The screen then whizzes before changing into a different scene where it shows… terrible bloody handwriting?

‘Life is terrible and boring,
Come here and get a treat,
Where a world of spring,
Come here and touch the screen’

I look over at Yuusuke, “Should we touch the screen?” He gives me a look that clearly screams, ‘are you crazy, you bimbo?’

All of a sudden, a child’s singing voice starts playing through the speakers of the theatre.

“~Life is terrible and boring,
Come here and get a treat,
Where a world of spring, 
Come here and touch the screen~”

 

This is creeping the hell out of me.  Yuusuke walks over to me, takes my hand in his and tries to lead me to the exit when the projector shuts off. The singing stops and I sneeze. It's dark again, "let's just get out of here" Yuusuke says, pulling me with him to the exit yet again, but my adrenaline spikes and I stop him, my eyes widening the moment I hear glass shattering. As if on cue, the song begins again, but it's much louder and the song seems to be playing on a lower pitch.

​

"What happened to leaving?" I ask, but Yuusuke's frozen to the spot. 

​

He takes a deep breath, taking a second before he exhales and says, “We aren’t going to touch the screen” 

Our heads snap at the sound of glass shattering. The singing continues, nonetheless, but with different lyrics and a different beat. This actually sounds like the Disney song. The one that Jiminy Cricket sang; if you wish upon a star…

“~if you wish upon a star,
Doesn’t matter who you are,
You should touch the screen and make,
Your dreams~ come true~”

​

The sounds of glass breaking is getting louder, meaning it is getting closer…

I gulp nervously, looking at Yuusuke, “Fool, let’s just touch the screen and get over it” He makes his lips into a thin line as he nods uncertainly. At our submission, the projector comes back to life, and the screen is lit up. We make our way to the screen slowly and cautiously. After every step, the screen begins to light up brighter. My eyes couldn’t take it. I shut my eyes, my hand still in Yuusuke’s.

“You should touch the screen and make,
Your dreams~,
Come true~”

The singing stops.

 

Just when I am about to step back to breath a sigh of relief, Yuusuke's hand is gone.

And the screen swallows us whole.
