Topic: THE 7th HALLUCINATION

[gatulon]

My focus is still on the crow, is still cawing the same 3 mysterious word ("'ark 'a'y 'rough"): what he's saying ?



Dark day rough ?

Rough dark ray ?

Or what else ?

Most of all, is this one the right meaning ?

"THE 7th HALLUCINATION"

CHAPTER SEVEN: NUSUTH, <<DEMON OF DECEPTIONS AND DEATH>> !!

Dark.

Darkness.

Just a weak (too weak) light falling from somewhere.

Ataru touched his eyes to see if they had closed or open, so great was the darkness that enveloped him.

A cold chill on his backbone...

... (and this time was not the usual chill that yet felt in his bones)...

... HOW AND WHERE TO GET A SHELTER ?!?

That worrying phrase still echoes in his mind.

"HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE COULD DEVOUR MY SOUL?", was his though.

UNLESS...

... UNLESS IT WAS THE DEVIL HIMSELF TO HAVE UTTERED THAT PHRASE !!!

A scream !!

[Ataru, screaming with all his strenghts] THAT'S ENOUGH !! COME OUT !! SHOW WHO YOU ARE !!

AN EVIL LAUGH FILLED THE AIR !!

[Ataru, same situation] YOU DON'T SCARE ME !! COME OUT: If I really have to burn in hell I'll drag you with me !


A MYSTERIOUS VOICE, STRANGLY SWEET, BEGAN TO SING.

[**, with strange voice, singing]Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
and your trip begins

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires...


Ataru turned his face...

... (finally his eyes had become accustomed to the darkness)..

... and could see the outline of a person behind him.

It was still a shadowy figure: the only thing he could understand was that that "something" was wrapped in a kind of mantle.

[Ataru, with strange voice] Sorry, in our rock band we don't need a chorister.
[**, with evil voice too] Eh eh eh: just your immense stupidity can make you say such nonsense at a time like this.
[ATARU, NOW SCREAMING] THAT'S ENOUGH !! WHO ARE YOU ? WHY YOU ENJOY TORTURING ME ?!?

THAT "FIGURE" OPENED THE ARMS !!

[**, same voice] Do you really wanna know me ?!? SO GET MORE CLOSE TO ME !!


Finally the mystery was cleared.

It wasn't a mantle the one that surrounds the figure but a kind of habit, similar to that of monk.

The moment that being held out the arms it fell to the ground...


... AND ...


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH !!!


.... W.. W.. WHAT A SEXY SILHOUETTE !![/size]

[Ataru, overexcited, with all the tongue out from the mouth] GEE !! WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ONCE THAT YOU WERE A WOMAN SO PRETTY?[/size]


ATARU WAS CURED IMMEDIATELY...

... and  began to run to meet <<her>> !!


IT WAS AN ERROR !!!


IN FACT....


[Ataru, SO MUCH EXCITED, running wildy and screaming] I FORGIVE YOU !! I FORGIVE YOU !! GIMME YOUR EMAIL ADRESS AND YOUR MOBILE NUMBER AND HAVE A DATE WITH ME AND I'LL FORGIVE YOU EVERYTHING !

[XX, with fake gentle voice] Ooooh, do you really love me ? So... come more close to me.... AND ... [NOW SCREAMING] KISS ME: IN THAT WAY IT WILL BE EASIER TO DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!


AAAAARGH !!![/size]


Only when he was a few steps Ataru realized how bitter was the reality.

IN FACT...


The skin (if it really was skin !) was made of scales...

... the tongue coming out of the mouth was long and forked like a snake...

... her long white hairs had something worrying...

... her eyes, red as fire, do not bode well at all ...

... AND THE FACE OF THAT WOMAN WAS THE UGLIEST OF HUNGER!

Ataru had to change his mind in a hurry (ALSO BECAUSE OF DISGUST!!).

[Ataru, among a lots of coughs] gh.. gh... y.. you.. [cough, cough] you looked [cough, cough] YOU LOOKED BETTER BY FAR !![/size] [cough, cough, cough, cough !]
[XX, SCREAMING NERVOUSLY] THIS IS OFFENSIVE !!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH !!!

SHE BEGAN TO BREATH FLAMES AGAINST HIM !!![/size]

Only the survival instinct saved Ataru from dying charred.

He got up immediately.

[Ataru, panting loudly] [pant, pant] ONCE FOR ALL [pant, pant]: WHO ARE YOU ? [pant, pant] WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ?!?

[XX, with cold evil voice] Oh, if this can please you I introduce myself: MY NAME IS NUSUTH AND I AM A DAMASHIGAMI !![/size]

Totally confused, Ataru began to babble in a stupid way that strange word...

... and tried, with the tip of a finger, to write it on the powder that was found (plenty) on the ground.

[Ataru, mumbling to himself] D... <<DAMASHIGAMI>> ?!?  W.. WHICH WHOM IDEOGRAMS IT'S WRITTEN ?!?
[NUSUTH, GETTING ANGRY] HEY, YOU STUPID: DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO TRY TO WRITE ?
[Ataru, scratching hardly his head] So... <<DA>>.. <<MA>>... <<SHI>>.. <<GAMI>>..[/size]
[NUSUTH,  SO MUCH ANGRY] You damned, don't use just hiragana kanji !! YOU MUST WRITE MY NAME WITH THE COMPLEX IDEOGRAMS THAT MEAN <<DEMON>>,<<DECEPION>>, <<GODDES OF DEATH>> AND <<WICKED>>,  YOU IDIOT !![/size]

[Ataru, with stupid voice] YOU WRETCH, YOU COULDN'T CALL YOURSELF IN AN EASIER WAY ?!?[/size]


Simply too much !!


FROM THE RIGHT HAND OF NUSUTH CAME OUT A DOZEN OF WHITE AND SLIMY SNAKES ...

... EACH OF THEM TRIED TO BITE ATARU ...

... that only rolling several times on the ground managed to avoid them.

He got up once again.

[Ataru, panting loudly] Y... you damned.. [PANT, PANT] How can you think [PANT, PANT] of devouring my soul? [PANT, PANT] don't you know that he's immortal?
[Nusuth, back with evil voice] IN FACT IT WILL GIVE ME ENERGY FOR ETERNITY !![/size]
[Ataru, now lost in panic] N.. nan-da ?!?

The snakes coming out of her right arm now moved (slowly) all the time: each one seemed had own will and watched (in a scary way) every little gesture of Ataru.

[Nusuth, laughing in an evil way] Eh eh eh: when I'll devour your soul it will become part of me for eternity !! In this way I will have an inexhaustible source of energy so that it will increase my power to excess AND YOU'LL BECOME PRISONER OF MY BEING! FOREVER !![/size]

[ATARU, SCREAMING WITH WRATH] I WILL NEVER LET YOU TO MAKE SUCH AN ATROCITIES LIKE THIS !!
[Nusuth, still sadic] You stupid ! [now screaming] YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE BEATING YOU IN THE WORST DEPTHS OF DESPAIR?!?


WAS IN THAT MOMENT THAT, FROM ABOVE, SOMETHING FELL ON ATARU !![/size]


Only an instinctive movement saved him from dying crushed.

He raised his arms...

... AND...

.. (while not seeing anything at all)...

... FELT SOMETHING LIKE A ROUGH BALL, THE SIZE OF A HUGE SOFA, FALLING ON HIM !!

IT WAS REALLY HEAVY !!

[Ataru, groaning in pain] [ggggh] W... what's goin on ? [ggggh] What is this ?!?
[NUSUTH, WITH SADIC VOICE] THIS IS THE PRODUCT OF YOUR DESPAIR !![/size]
[Ataru, same situation] N.. nan-da ?!?

[Nusuth, among a sadic laugh] Eh eh eh: WHENEVER I HAVE BEATING YOU IN AN ABYSS I'VE ACCUMULATED YOUR PAIN AND ANGUISH: NOW RETURN IT TO YOU ![/size]
[Ataru, same situation] [ggggh] Y... you mean that... [ggggh]... that...
[Nusuth, with clear EVIL VOICE] THAT THE WEIGHT OF YOUR LOWNESS WILL CRUSH YOU TO THE GROUND AND WILL NEVER ALLOW YOU TO LIFT THIS LATTER ABYSS!
[Ataru, same situation] [ggggh] Th.. there's just [ggggh] a little thing that [ggggh] you've to know.
[Nusuth, with clear voice] About ?!?

[Ataru, increasing the volume of his voice] [ggggh] Throughout my life I have done nothing [ggggh] but fight against adversity [ggggh] and when everything seemed to be able [ggggh] to destroy me [ggggh], I have always raised: [ggggh] I have never surrendered [ggggh] and I will never surrender because... [NOW SCREAMING WITH ALL HIS STRENGHTS] BECAUSE I NEVER STOPPED HOPING FOR A FUTURE BETTER!

KABOOOOOOOOOM !![/size]


THAT SPECIES OF THE INVISIBLE BALL EXPLODED...

... BUT THIS WASN'T MEAN IN ANY WAY THAT HE WAS SAFE !!

IN FACT...

[Nusuth, groaning nervously] Grrrr, you're a tough cookie! [now with clear voice] Well, it means that I will draw tremendous energy from your soul.
[ATARU, SCREAMING] YOU DAMNED, I'LL WRING YOUR NECK FIRST !!
[Nusuth, with low, cold EVIL voice] Hold yourself where you are, otherwise someone could really get hurt !!
[Ataru, so surprised] N.. nan-da ?!?

He looked up...

... AND ...

[ATARU, SCREAMING DESPERATELY] NOOOOOOOOOO !! YOU COWARD !!

That demon knew every weak point of him.


IN FACT....


... TWO SNAKES WERE BLOCKING LAMU’, ALMOST AS THOUGH BOUND HANDS AND FEETS, WHILE A THIRD WHISTLED EERILY CLOSE TO HER NECK, READY TO DEVOURE HER SOUL.[/size]

But probably the alien not even realized what was happening.

IN FACT..


... she was shaking a lot...

... she was sweating cold ...

... and her lips trembled.

IN SHORT, LAMU' WAS HAVING ANOTHER CRISIS OF ABSTINENCE !![/U]

[Ataru, screaming nervously] DAMNED ALIEN, WHY YOUR WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS ARRIVE ALWAYS AT THE WRONG TIME?
[Nusuth, back sadic] Eh eh eh: as you can see I've all the aces in my hands !!

INCREDIBLE BUT TRUE, ATARU HAD THE RIGHT IDEA !!

IN FACT...

[Ataru, mumbling to himself] She's a woman ! SHE'S A WOMAN ! It means that.. that... THAT SHE HAS THE SAME WEAKNESSES OF ALL WOMEN OF THE UNIVERSE![/size]

He began to run zig-zag...

... AND ...

[Nusuth, now surprised] H.. hey, w.. what do you wanna do ?

At last moment Ataru threw himself under her legs...

... AND ...


..
..
..


SQUEEZE !!![/size]


[NUSUTH, SCREAMING LOST IN PANIC] EEEEEEEEK !!

ANOTHER SUDDEN JUMP...

... and was able to take Lamù on his arms !!

Just few steps away...

... AND ...


[Ataru, with trembling voice] gh.. gh.. D.. damned alien, h.. how are you ?!?

SQUEEZE !!![/size]

[ATARU, SCREAMING LOST IN PAIN] YEHOHAAAAAAARGH !!

... [ehm] ...



Well, some things never change.

IN FACT...

... LAMU' WRUNG HIS CHEST WITH STRENGHT !![/U]

naturally Ataru felt a pain of the devil...

... so many tears fell from his eyes and the alien drank them, one by one.

[Ataru, with trembling voice, lost in pain] [gh.. gh..] L.. Lamù, r.. really you cannot find [gh..] a less painful way [gh..] to get my tears?

She answered him not, just drank his tears and all.
But when finished cleared her lips nervously and began to look at him in an evil way.

... [A-ehm] ...

Well, the point was that was right to be angry.

IN FACT...

[Nusut, still lost in panic]Y.. YOU PERVERTED: H.. HOW DARE YOU FEEL ME IN SUCH TERRIBLE WAY ?[/size]
[LAMU', WITH EVIL VOICE] D-A-R-L-I-N-G, WHAT_THE_HELL_SHE_IS_SAY ING ?!?
[Ataru, now screaming] DAMNED ALIEN, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT I LIKED TO PALP THAT DISGUSTING SLIMY SNAKE ?
[LAMU', SAME VOICE] WHAT_THE_FOOL_HAVE_YOU_D ONE ?!?
[Ataru, screaming wildly] THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT MOMENT TO MORALIIIIIZE !!

[Nusuth, with wrath] Grrr, If I don't kill you right now is just because I need your soul ! [now screaming] TAKE THIIIIIIIIIS !!

ANOTHER TIME FELT ON ATARU SOMETHING LIKE A ROUGH BALL !!

THIS TIME IT WAS EVEN BIGGER AND HEAVY !!

Once again he was forced to hold with just his own strenght, because it was invisibile.

[Ataru, groaning in pain] [ggggh] Y... you damned...[ggggh] you will never make me bend !!

JUST A MOMENT...

... AND A SNAKE TRIED TO BITE HIM !!

[LAMU', FURIOUS] STAY BACK FROM MY DARLING, YOU DISGUSTING WORM !!

VOLTS !!

ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP !![/size]

THE SNAKE WITHDREW IMMEDIATELY, SERIOUSLY BURNED !!

In that meantime the invisible ball exploded once again.

[Nusuth, with evil voice] Wow, so you're not a human being.
[Lamù, with evil voice too] I will never let you hurt him, even at the cost of my life. [NOW SCREAMING] GET READY DARLIIIIING !!

A SUDDEN JUMP...

... SHE GRABBED ATARU ON HIS ARM...

... AND TRIED TO FLY AWAY...

... BUT ...




.... A MYSTERIOUS FORCE PREVENTED HER FROM GETTING UP IN THE AIR !!

[Lamù, so scared] W.. what's going on ?!?
[NUSUTH, WITH WRATH] THERE'S NO ESCAPE FROM THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR !! [/size]
[Ataru, so shocked] N.. nan-da ?!?

[Nusuth, back sadic] Eh eh eh: I have led on you a despair so great that not only has carved an unbridgeable gulf in your soul but has also generated a gravitational force so great that will never let you get out.

No one had an idea on how to get out of that trap...

... WHEN, SUDDENLY...

... A BLACK CROW APPEARED IN FLY ...

[The crow, cawing] .... TRRRROUUUU' ! 'AAAAAARK ! 'AAAAA'Y !![/size]

[Lamù, groaning nervously] Damn, all we need was just the bird of ill omen !! What the hell... [now surprised] Darling, what are you doing ?

ATARU WAS MUMBLING SOMETHING OF (apparently) INCOMPRENSIBLE.

[Ataru, mumbling to himself] <<'ARK-A'y-RROO>>...

... <<RRROUU-A'y-'ARK>> ...

... <<A'y-RROO-'ARK>> ...

... <<A'y-'ARK-RROO>> ...

... <<TRRROU'-'ARK-A'y>> ..

..... HEY !!

[ATARU, WITH CLEAR VOICE] <<TRROU 'ARK 'A'y>> !!! Through dark lady !! THROUGH-DARK-LADY !! [NOW SCREAMING] I GOT !![/size]

[Lamù, blinking her large eyes] Darling, what are you saying ?
[ATARU, SCREAMING] THERE'S NO TIME FOR EXPLENATIONS: WHEN I'LL SAY YOU FLY FASTER YOU CAN !!
[Lamù, same situation] Sorry ?

Ataru took a running start...

... AND ...


AHEM !!![/size]

.... [WOW !!!]

... W.. WHAT THAT EROTIC POSITION !!![/size]


Ataru grabbed Lamù as if she was a javelin.

It meant that...

.... [Oh my GoooooooooD].....


... with his lef hand grabbed her bra ...

... AND WITH HIS RIGHT HAND HER ... [AHEM !!!!![/size]]  ...

...

... well, for those who had not understood, HE PUT HIS HANDS BETWEEN HER LEGS[/size]  ...

... AND THREW HER AGAINST THE DAMASHIGAMI WITH ALL HIS STRENGHTS !!


[Lamù, lost in panic, screaming] EEEEEEEEEEEK !!!
[Nusuth, so surprised] W.. WHAT IT MEANS THIS ?!?


A SUDDEN THOUGHT !!!


[ATARU, NOW LOST IN PAIN] WAIT FOR A WHILE, WHY SO EASY THIS TIME ?!?[/size]


TOO LATE TO FEEL REMORSE !!


[Lamù, lost in panic, screaming] DARLIIIIIIIIING !!!
[Nusuth, so worried] You damned, stay back from meeeeeeee !!!


[ATARU, MUMBLING TO HIMSELF] OH MY GOD, WHAT IF EVEN THIS ONE WAS A TRAP ?!?


[To be continued] 

[Fxt]

OMG, i need the next chapter ç_ç i don't resist anymore!!!

[GiovaneDinamitardo]

URUSEI YATSURA, THE UNOFFICIAL 10TH SEASON[/b][/color] (click on this link to read the whole plot of this saga).

"THE 7th HALLUCINATION"

CHAPTER EIGHT: THE LAST HALLUCINATION [/size]

The clash between Ataru and Nusuth, "demon of deception, despair and death", had arrived at a fatal point of no return.

IN FACT...

... trusting an intuition, Ataru had caught (IN A TERRIBLY EROTIC WAY !!!) Lamù as if was javelin and had hurled her against the body of the damashigami, who was surprised by such a move...

... and it was good: in that way the snakes that sprang from her left arm could do nothing against the alien!

[Nusuth, so worried] HEY ! HEY ! HOLD ! HOOOOOOOOOOOLD !!
[Lamù, screaming out, lost in panic] DARLIIIIIIIIIIING !!

[Ataru, mumbling to himself] OH MY GOD, WHAT IF WAS A TRAP ?!?

A FEW SECONDS....

... AND ...


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH !!![/size]

[NUSUTH, SO MUCH SURPRISED] W.. WHAT IT MEANS THIS ?!?
[ATARU, SCREAMING WITH WRATH] IT MEANS THAT YOU LIED TO ME:  AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A WAY TO LEAVE THIS ABYSS ![/size]

Ataru had hoped with all his strength to that crow ( which croaked always the same three words, though in no particular order ) was an ally .

His confidence was rewarded.

IN FACT...

... LAMÙ FLEW THROUGH THE BODY OF NUSUTH WITHOUT FINDING ANY RESISTANCE, AS IF HAS DIPPED IN THE WATER![/size]

[Ataru, now with cold EVIL voice] I had to wait for the right opportunity to understand what was trying to tell me that crow but, even if this is the last moment, finally my patience has been rewarded !!
[Nusuth, groaning with wrath] Grrrrrrrrrr, you've taken advantage of my carelessness.
[Ataru, same voice] Now forgive me if I leave you but I've important things to care and think about [NOW SCREAMING] ALL THE GIRLS OF THE UNIVERSE ARE WAITING FOR MEEEE !!

HE RE-BEGAN TO RUN ZIG-ZAG...

... not without difficulty: the snakes coming out from the left arm of Nusuth rushed at him, trying to bite him in every way ...

... AND WHEN ATARU WAS FINALLY SO CLOSE TO THE DEMON ...




.... BONK !!![/size]


The blow was so strong that slammed to the ground his enemy ...

... BUT ATARU FAILED TO DO THE SAME THING THAT HAD DONE LAMÙ!

The demon stood for a moment sitting on the ground, holding the head with her right hand.


[Nusuth, groaning with wrath] Y.. you damned: I will torture you so long that you begged me to devour your soul !
[ATARU, getting up, SO MUCH WORRIED] W.. WHAT HAPPENED ?!?
[NUSUTH, SCREAMING] YOU STUPID, REALLY THOUGHT THAT I WOULD HAVE COMMITTED THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE?[/size]
[Ataru, so much confused] N.. nan-da ?!?

The two opponents stood up...

... and the snakes coming out of the left arm of the demon once more began to move slowly, each one was moving slowly and watching every single movement of Ataru.

[Nusuth, with clear EVIL voice] Eh eh eh, after all I should even thank you: thanks to you I've found this weakness.
[Ataru, same situation] Y.. you mean that.. that..

[NUSUTH, SCREAMING WITH WRATH] THAT NOW I HAVE CLOSED THIS GAP SIZE IN AN IRREVERSIBLE WAY !![/size]

Hearing that words, Ataru wanted to eat his hands with rage: had discovered the secret on how to get out of the abyss ...

... but had been too hasty ...

... AND HAD WASTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE HIMSELVES IN A WAY TOO NAIVE ![/size]

[Ataru, with wrath] You damned, surely I'll find another way to escape from here !!
[Nusuth, with fake sweet voice] Oooooooh, AND WHO WILL NEVER SUMMON YOU ?!?
[Ataru, so surprised] S.. sorry ?
[Nusuth, back with wrath] Eh eh eh: NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE TRAPPED YOU DOWN HERE, THEREFORE NOBODY CAN RUN YOUR HELP!
[Ataru, back with wrath too] You damned, Lamù knows I'm here and surely will return back immediately to save me !
[NUSUTH, WITH FAKE SWEET VOICE] I HOPE SO !! IN THAT WAY I'LL DEVOURE HER SOUL TOO !!
[Ataru, so shocked] N.. nan-da ?!?

[Nusuth, with SADIC voice] From now on, any living being who will try to cross my body will die instantly .... [NOW SCREAMING] AND I WILL EAT HIS SOUL WITHOUT ANY EFFORT !!


ONCE MORE, ATARU NOTICED THAT, FROM ABOVE, SOMETHING HUGE WAS FALLING ON HIM !!

Instinctively, he tried to jump from one side ...

... was good !!

IN FACT...

... A KIND OF INVISIBLE METEOR CRASHED VIOLENTLY (AND LOULDY) AGAINST THE GROUND AND OPENED A HUGE CRATER !!!

But was not able to get up ...

... BECAUSE A HUGE BLAZE (COMING OUT FROM THE MOUTH OF THE DEVIL) FORCED HIM TO ROLL SEVERAL TIMES TO AVOID IT!

A MOVEMENT CAUGHT OUT OF THE CORNER OF THE EYE...

... a providential jump on the other side ...

... AND ATARU MANAGED TO AVOID THE CLAWS OF THE RIGHT ARM OF NUSUTH, WHICH HAD STRETCHED SO ABNORMAL !

[NUSUTH, SCREAMING WITH WRATH] YOU'VE NO ESCAPE !!
[Ataru, panting loudly] Y.. you damned [pant, pant] you'll never [pant, pant] bend me [pant, pant]
[NUSUTH, SAME VOICE] YOU STUPID, NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME !!

At least Ataru got up...

... BUT THIS TIME THIS SIMPLE MOVEMENT REQUIRED A HUGE EFFORT !!

[Ataru, groaning in pain] [gggggh...] W.. what's goin on ? [ggggh...] W. .. why it's so difficult to get up ?
[NUSUTH, same voice] IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR FEAR !!
[Ataru, so surprised] N... nan-da ?!?

[Nusuth, with EVIL cold voice] Eh eh eh, you're afraid to die here all alone, right?
[Ataru, now with despising voice] YOU DON'T SCARE ME !!
[Nusuth, same voice] You liar: maybe you can fool me but you cannot do yourself and what's happening to you it is the evidence!
[ATARU, NOW SCREAMING] IT DOESN'T MATTER, I WILL DARG YOU WITH ME TO HELL !!
[Nusuth, same voice] Eh eh eh, sorry but it's impossible: [now with sadic voice] WHEN YOUR FEAR INCREASES, THE GRAVITY OF THIS PLACE GETS BIGGER[/size]: soon you won't be able to move even a finger [NOW SCREAMING] AND FINALLY I WILL DEVOURE YOUR SOUL !!

Damn, she was right !!

Ataru tried to move her arms and legs but it took a damn effort than usual: it seemed that a lot of invisible ropes counter every little effort...

... WHEN, SUDDENLY ...

....
...
..


WHAT'S THE "GENIUS"?

It's fantasy...

.... intuition ...

.... vision ...[/size]

.... AND EXECUTION SPEED !![/size]


Ataru provocatively began to giggle.

[Nusuth, a bit surprised] What's goin on, the prospect of become my prisoner for all eternity is doing out of your mind ?

[Ataru, increasing the volume of his voice] Eh eh eh: you want to know how deep are the abyss of despair, right? [still increasing] Well, I don't know how to measure them but... [now with loud voice] now I realized one thing: [NOW SCREAMING] AS LONG AS LAMÙ WILL BE BY MY SIDE I'LL BE ABLE TO GET UP ANY TIME ![/size]

A SUDDEN JUMP !!!

[Nusuth, so surprised] Hey, what the hell... [NOW SHOCKED] W... WHAT IS THIS ?!?



FROM THE BODY OF THE DEMON WAS NOW WAVING THE BRA OF LAMÙ ...

.. AND A BRA IS NOT A LIVING BEING !![/size]




Ataru caught the fly ...

... Lamù (who was the "other side" of the body of Nusuth), feeling that his "darling" had taken it, pulled him firmly towards ...

.. AND HE TOO STEP "THROUGH DARK LADY" ![/size]



Once beyond, Lamù grabbed him by the hand and began to fly toward a bright spot that was up and, as they approached it, this became wider and the light brighter and warm.

At the same time Ataru felt that cold chill inside his bones (which had tormented him until shortly before) was leaving and even breathing became more regular and deep.


Until now he had always considered Lamù as a nuisance, because prevented him from ... [ehm] ... "interact" with other girls ...

.. WELL, THIS TIME WAS HAPPY TO FLY WITH HER !


But when the light became too intense...

... THE BODY OF LAMÙ BEGAN TO FADE AWAY!

[ATARU, BACK LOST IN PANIC] H.. HEY !! HEY !! NOT THIS WAY !! NOT THIS WAY !! D.. DON'T LEAVE LAMU', DON'T LEAVE ME RIGHT NOW !!!


.....
....
...
..


[Ataru, groaning in pain] D.. don't leave me, Lamù.. don't leave me right now !
[LAMU', RATHER MUMBLING] OH, DARLING: YOU KNOW I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU !![/size]
[Ataru, so surprised] N.. nan-da ?!?

Gradually he opened his eyes...

... AND REALIZED THAT WAS LAYING IN A BED OF A HOSPITAL ROOM ![/size]

Around him several medical devices recorded all his vital signs and had the drips on both arms.

In front of him Lamù was wearing a dress similar to that of a nurse, her (long) hairs were collected in a kind of white cap, the hands gave off a strong smell of soap and had a mask over the mouth (it was clear that this was a sterile dress).

[Ataru, so surprised] W.. where I am ?
[Lamù, with clear voice] THIS IS THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT OF TOMOBIKI'S HOSPITAL !!
[Ataru, still surprised] W.. why I'm here ? W.. what happened to me ?!?


[LAMU'] YOU HAVE HAD BIRD FLU, DARLING !![/size]


[Ataru, blinking his little eyes] R.. really ?!?

[Lamù, with clear voice] One night, suddenly, I heard you groan in bed: your forehead burned like an iron and I couldn't lower the fever with anything.
I immediately called an ambulance and they arrived just in time: YOU WAS HAVING A SEVERE RESPIRATORY CRISIS ![/size]
[Ataru, same situation] S.. sorry ? Y... you said "a severe respiratory crisis" ?!?

[Lamù, now crying] Oh, darling: [sigh] you cannot understand how much I was sick [sigh] seeing you suffer !! [sigh] Your veins [sigh] are so thin [sigh] that every time someone [sniff] had put a drip [sigh] you screamed in a horrible way. [sigh] More [sniff] you were allergic [sigh] to the antibiotic [sigh] that they've given in the first moment [sniff]: the doctors [sigh] have realized it [sigh] just in time, [sniff] YOU SERIOUSLY RISKED TO BECOME PARALYZED [/size][sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh]!
[Ataru, same situation] TH.. THIS IS THE TRUTH ?!?

[Lamù, among a lots of sighs] THE DOCTORS HAVE HAD TO DO EMERGENCY TEST ON YOUR ABDOMEN [/size][sigh] to find the right antibiotic: [sniff] when I saw [sigh] you writhing [sigh] in pain in a way so horrible [sigh] ... I FAINTED !! WAHAAAAAAAAAH !!
[Ataru, still in shock] S... so... ALL OF THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE I GOT A FEVER !!

[Lamù, back with clear voice] Since then they carried you here, your temperature is almost never dropped below 41 degree: NO DOUBT YOU'VE HAD HALLUCINATIONS[/size], because you screamed incoherent words and also shouted.
 

ATARU FINALLY UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED IN THOSE DAY (and a large smile appeared on his face).

The initial sensation of suffocation was caused by the onset of fever...

... the pain felt every time someone was biting him on the arms was due to the fact that some nurses was putting an IV.[/u][/url]

... that terrible feeling of petrification was due to a wrong therapy.[/u][/url]

... the snake bites on his abdomen were nothing more than some (painful) medical tests.[/u][/url]

... that damn chill felt in his bones was caused by fever...[/u][/url]

... AND ALL OF THAT HORRIBLE HALLUCINATIONS WERE JUST DELIRIUM AND NOTHING ELSE !![/size]

[Lamù, with gentle voice] You've to know: THE WHOLE NATION IS INTERESTED IN YOUR HEALTH !!!
[Ataru, blinking his little eyes] Damned alien, what the fool are you saying ?
[Lamù, so moved] When you got about your illness (and the fact that you were seriously risking your life), a lot of people had gathered out here and stay here day and night just to comfort and make you strong, even radio and television stations broadcast continuously news about you.

She took her tiny mobile and dialed a well-known number.

[Lamù] Sham Poo, are you still there ? Please, turn the webcam of your mobile: I wanna show to darling what's happening outside.

She came over her mobile...

... and Ataru saw a moltitude of people: lots of them many of them had signs with slogans of encouragement, while others were singing the (only) ballad published in their new album.

[Lots of people, singing]... and I will raise you up
I will lift you up
I'll give you eagles' wings
so you will stand
on the breeze of the dawn
and I will make you shine
like the Sun
So in my hands (forever) you'll live !![/i]

Ataru didn't resist more...

... AND BIG TEARS CAME OUT FROM HIS EYES !!

[Lamù, with clear voice] TAKE A LOOK: YOUR PARENTS ALL OF OUR FRIENDS ARE HERE JUST FOR YOU !!

He turned his head...

... and, behind glass, saw that there were his father and mother, Ran, Shinobu, Ryunosuke, Shutaro, Oyuki, Satoshi, Akira, Kousuke, Hiroyuki, Sakura and Sakurambo.
Among them were even Mousse (which was finally taken over by the accident) and Benten with Kaneda (who was finally able to stay up).

The alien sat a moment on the bed...

... AND ...

[Lamù, so surprised] D.. DARLING, W... WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!?

ATARU GENTLY STROKED HER HAND !!

[Ataru, with gentle voice] ARIGATO' !![/size]
[Lamù, crying once again] OH, DARLING..... I... I...

A SUDDEN HUG...

... AND ...

[LAMU', STILL CRYING] ... I HAVE DONE SO LITTLE, WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!
[ATARU, SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN] YEHOHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG H !!
[Lamù, now so worried] Darling, what's going on ?
[Ataru, still groaning in pain] L... Lamù [gggggh] , w.. what the fool have they done to me between my neck and my right shoulder? [gggggh] I feel... I feel... I feel a pain of hell!
[Lamù, blinking her large eyes] N.. nothing but.. Let me see.

She unbuttoned a bit his pajama ...

... AND ...


SHOCK !!![/size]


[LAMU', LOST IN PANIC] OH MY GOD, DARLING: WHAT IS THIS ?!? IT SEEMS THE BITE OF A VAMPIRE !![/size]
[ATARU, LOST IN PANIC TOO] N... N.. N.. NAN-DAAAAAA ?!?

[BENTEN, TALKING BEHIND THE GLASS] LAMU', HURRY: COME OUT OF THERE !!!
[Lamù, blinking again her large eyes] S.. sorry ?!? Why ?!?

[BENTEN, SAME SITUATION] IN YOUR ROOM THERE'S AN ABNORMAL LEVEL OF RADIATIONS !! COME OUT !! HURRY !![/size]

Lamù involontarily put an hand on the pillow....

... AND ...

[LAMU', SO SURPRISED] D.. DARLING, WHERE IT COMES FROM THIS... THIS PEEBLE ?!?

ATARU AGAIN FELT THE BLOOD FREEZE IN HIS VEINS !!

HE WELL KNEW THAT HAD COLLECTED THEM IN HIROSHIMA, FEW MOMENT AFTER THE EXPLOSION OF THE ATOMIC BOMB !!![/url][/b]

Then took a look again on his friends...

... AND HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT OYUKI WAS HIDING HER MOUTH TO NOT SHOW HER SHARP TEETH !![/size]

SUDDENLY...

... A BLACK CROW TAPPED ON THE GLASS OF THE WINDOW OF THE ROOM (and then flew away, disappearing misteriously).

It was so fogged...

... AND ...

... FOR A WHILE APPEARED THE FACE OF NUSUTH !![/size]

[ATARU, LOST IN PANIC] NO ! NO !! YOU CANNOT BE HERE !! YOU CANNOT BE HERE !!




[NUSUTH, SCREAMING WITH WRATH] I will return.... AND I'LL BE MILLIONS !!![/size]



That image disappeared immediatly (and misteriously).

[Benten, still screaming] LAMU', WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?!? GET OUT OF THERE !!

When the alien step to reach the door Ataru begun to rattle in a scary way !!

She turned for a moment.

[Lamù, with trembling voice] I... I'll come back soon, darling: I'll come back soon !!
[Ataru, lost in panic] D.. DON'T LEAVE ME, LAMU' !! DON'T LEAVE ME !!
[Lamù, with trembling voice] D.. don't worry, darling: everything will settle for the best !!
[Ataru, same situation] DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEE !!

Seeing this scene, all those who were behind the glass made ??a few steps back with fright.

[Ataru, same situation] MOM, DAD, FRIENDS, D.. DON'T FORSAKE ME: YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW DEEP ARE THE ABYSS OF DESPAIR !![/size]

[Fxt]

I WAS RIGHT: the crow has played a key role from the beginning of this story!

However we've to expect that Nusuth reappears in future stories?

By the way, cousin: I see that you enjoyed playing with quotes  :*)  :*)
