Showcase 7: Alliance and Secrets
"Uh, so yeah, gods and goddesses are real, we are blessed by gods, I have a dead soul in me that gives me powers, Akira-san has a dad of death."
"W-well... That's a surprise."
"Well, from now on, my name's Curacao when the big showcase start since I do look like her."
"I'll be Reaper," Akira says quietly.
"Okay-wait, REAPER?"
"Yep. She prefers to stay in the dark. We also contacted a helper. She'll come in handy with escape plans and all."
"F-fine. It looks like the time is about to start the haste. Let's hurry."
"Sure. Let's."
Ladies and Gentlemen,
When Artemis's time has come, her jew placed right in the middle, shall I take my chance to reach for the adviser of the young kings and queens.
The citric liquor shines under the scarlet moon, the shadow makes out the intent of Death.
When the time has come, under the silvery light, the wings of black spots will fly again.
When the time has come, under the silvery light, the green eyes with such passionate gleams will flash again.
Kaito Kid
As the clock chimes midnight, the haste will start.
Let the show begin.
Time Skip to Preparation Time for the Haste
"Oi, Kid."
"E-he... Hakuba..."
"Hakuba and Koizumi-san! Why are you here?"
"I want to tell you that you need to be careful in today's haste."
"Hiro-san, please help out Kaito-kun when he has trouble on hand." The witch says.
"No problem. Now let me introduce you all to Akira-san or Shizuko Kushina."
"You're in the Shizuko Family!?" Kaito exclaims.
"You should be able to see the similarities between the sisters. I mean, black hair, black eyes..." Rei says, clearly annoyed.
"Oh... I see."
"Anyway, we are going to make this work."
"Roger."
"Let's do this!"
Meanwhile
The TV shows the haste message Kaitou Kid. Marinette and Adrien see it as well.
"Kaitou Kid... Is he a villain?"
"Ah, he isn't, he's just a magician thief."
"Really?"
"He's rather famous in Japan."
"Okay. Hope today we don't have an Akuma Attack." Adrien hopes.
Meanwhile, Akatsuki is in a Flashback
With Hope comes Jinx.
With Jinx comes truth.
Life shall be horrible.
No, life is cruel and horrible from the start.
It just depends on how you think about it, how you live in it and have you adapted to it.
Sometimes, you smile, sometimes you cry.
When you feel pain and loneliness for so long, you feel nothing.
Numb of feelings.
That's when you know...
You have become nothing. Nothing at all.
Just a pawn of this world, living for little reasoning.
So you go and die.
It doesn't matter if you die.
The only thing that changed in this world is that there is one less person living.
That is what Shiroyuki Akatsuki thought about before she turned into a Japanese-American.
She was a Chinese student, talented in all subjects, rose to high school at the age of 13.
And yet she was lonely.
Judged as a weirdo of such knowledge capable of learning the secrets of others, the cheater of exams.
Bullied repeatedly, again and again. Jealousy and hatred spread throughout the school.
Unfair, right?
Outrageous, right?
Well, the world says sorry.
Wait, it said nothing.
Nothing at all.
Not even a "Sorry I made you a miserable life, even with such gifted talents.".
Gifted talents now turned curses.
Bai XueYue thought she can just die and no one will care about her again, but when she came back to her senses, she already stepped out of the window.
She regretted her decision.
And the world said nothing.
Still, nothing at all.
She got teleported, live again and she meets kind people called "friends", "teammates", "comrades", "family".
She doesn't know what that all meant.
She doesn't care about them at all.
Luckily, they don't need her care, too.
"So, judging from the mindset, now she has severe symptoms of a sociopath," Chiharu says.
"Well, so be it. I don't care."
"I see. Typical mindset." Rei replies.
"Well, if you want to know, I am a goddamn smartass with three personalities, if you like. First is the 13-year-old face mask, then it's the 18-year-old analytic mindset, then it's what you all call 'sociopathic' mindset."
"Wow. That's... Amazing!"
"It... Is?"
Something lights up the dark space of Akatsuki's heart.
"Well, if that is really acceptable..."
"We will now have some training to do with you, so hurry up, okay, Akatsuki-san?"
"Y-yes."
End of Flashback
And here she was, heading towards Meeting point.
"And why did I ever agreed to this plan?"
