Déjà Vu

            I let out a small sigh as I slowly climbed out of the tent that I had appeared within, my eyes glancing around as I noticed one single trait of where I currently was at. It was physically a large, city-sized ruins. Hmm… It took me a moment as I tried my best to remember where I was and, once the memory was found, along with a few horrifying scenes of NOL Armagus users killing and destroying the city, I took a moment to pack up my equipment and slip them into my personal inventory.
            Hmm… Seems I was in an extremely high magitech universe. Kagatsuchi… Kagatsuchi… Why does the city sound so familiar? I mean even before I ended up in this universe. It mattered not. I left the remains of the city, slipping into something more appropriate as I went. My tuxedo-coat combo, my nice dress shoes, and my hat. It had been a while since I last wore them all, so I might as well. I even put on my sunglasses from Deus Ex. They wouldn’t stick out in this universe… Probably.
            Either way, I went along toward the nearest airship dock that I was personally aware of. Thankfully, it wasn’t too long before I had actually arrived at one and, with the use of some of the money that I always seemed to have these days, I bought a ticket for Kagatsuchi. While I was unable to remember why I knew that name, it was the best start that I personally had and it was much better than staying in the ruins of a city I apparently once knew.
            It was fairly late once I had arrived in the port, so I begrudgingly went to look for a place to stay for the night. Half way to the closest end that I knew of, I was suddenly approached by a man with a… I couldn’t even describe what he was wearing. His chest was exposed, but the back was covered… He had a large nail on his back and an x-shaped scar across his face. He appeared just when I took off my hat and retracted the lenses of my glasses and he looked so happy to see me. “Tadek! It has been so long! I thought we had lost you!”
            It took me a moment to figure out what he was talking about, but once the memory clicked, I realized one thing. I had ran into the Bounty Hunter for Love and Justice. The one, the only… Bang Shishigami! His entrance was a spectacle, he crashed in through a window and flipped over to me with a boisterous call of righteousness!... And then went back and not only paid for the window, but also for the trouble. “Ah! Bang! It has been quite a while… Three years? Four?”
            I held my hat off to the side, offering him a genuine grin at seeing him again. While I had no true connection to him, my memories told me he was a good and friendly individual and had yet to do anything wrong to me or anyone else I happened to ‘know’. “Too long, my friend! I would treat you to something to eat, but I spent my money on the window. If you are amenable, would you like to go and see your new home? We moved here after the disaster…” He grew a little pensive as he mentioned the event and I simply gave him a little pat on the shoulder. The best I could give as I was still me.
            “Aye. Enough of that, however. My new home, hmm? It would be nice to see everyone again.” He pulled me close, raising a fist into the air as he did. “Of course! Come! Let us be off.” He escorted me out of the building and escorted me to a place that he called Ronin-gai. It was a welcomed event, oddly enough, everyone is happy to see me after all these years and, while I did not have a physical home yet, they allowed me to stay with Bang. I knew that somewhere I had a resort and an apartment, but they were fine where they were.
            The next day, however, was a hint more… Hectic. Thinking that it might be best that I learn the layout of the city, Bang took me along to the market area of the city before letting me loose. He had some business to take care of, so he thought it might be best if I learn the layout on my own. If I needed to find my way back, he told me to follow the bridges and ramps, ever going lower, but avoid the slums unless, in his words, “Unless you would enjoy playing with the Kakas”. Why the fuck did the term ‘Kaka’ sound so familiar.
            It wasn’t before long that I went walking along and found two… cats? They looked exactly like nekos except for the hoodie-jackets they were wearing and- oh fuck… I knew where I was. One of them was sitting there, poking the other as if she was attempting to wake the Kaka that was wearing a cream colored jacket with orange highlights. “Taokaka. Fucking Taokaka.” I stated without thinking about it, the other Kaka quickly looking up to me with a… with a… This face: :O.
            That specific Kaka I did not recognize. She looked similar to Taokaka, which most of them did, except for a few rather obvious differences. Her clothing was slightly different, having a longer pair of shorts that reached down to the knees, yet was sleeker and clung to the shape of her legs. The color scheme was quite different with half of her jacket being white and the other black with the smaller areas, such as where the claws would slip out of the jacket and her ears, being colored a grey. It wasn’t apparent of what her hair was at first, but when she brought her braid around and began kneading it, it made me a hint uncomfortable. It was just as long as one of Tao’s braids, a salt and pepper color scheme, and her tail matched almost perfectly. Was a little fluffier than most Kaka that I could remember, but barely so.
            Descriptions aside… I felt very, very worried about myself as this woman stared at me for some reason. Just as I was about to turn, Tao suddenly woke up, glanced between me and the unknown Kaka for a few moments. “Yan found food? Oh, Tao know just what to do! Taokaka Launch!” I let out a sharp gasp as the other Kaka took hold of Tao’s arms, they both spun around, and the black-white Kaka was suddenly launched toward me.
            “Yankaka Suplex!” I caught the Kaka with one hand and, instead of allowing her to suplex me, moved to toss her right back toward Taokaka. “Fine! I’ll get you something to eat as long as you don’t do that!” I called out and, just before Taokaka could say a word, the two of them were on the ground with a smile. “Yankaka told Tao. We would find her food and a very own Good Guy for Yan!”
            Why do I feel so uncomfortable right now. Why is my yandere sense tingling…

    To what extent are you willing to go?
    Spontaneous danger, negative campaign
    It's still your turn, going on forever.
    That's some handicap! The battle has just begun!
    Shout! Gather! You're indestructible! Body burning until it runs out of energy!
    PE-PE-PE-PEZ! Burn...
    Doesn't roll off the tank?
    Maybe Tad...? Nah.
    I guess you really are crappy generic brand Bang.

    1. I give you an "A" for effort, but an "F" for thinking I am a hero of justice.

    2. Yeah, you're too weak of will to be one.

      Delete
    3. Justice is relative. I have a strong enough will to stand up to what I think is wrong and not falter... That should be enough.

    4. Nah, it isn't.
      It's not something I expect you to get though.

    5. I do what I think is best... Most of the time. Take heart knowing that I at least don't harm people out of spite, but out of the need to try and make things a hint better or because the plot needs a slight shift or change. Though, I must ask... Doesn't a hero stand up against what they feel is wrong with endless tenacity?

    6. YOU MUST ALWAYS STRIVE TO BE A HERO OF JUSTICE! ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT IS A WEAK WILLED HUMAN MAKING UP EXCUSES!

    7. I have a spirit of justice in my body. I think that is good enough in the end. Go ahead and teach your kids that ideal, if you wish, though.

    8. NOOO! YOU MUST GO ABOVE AND BEYOND SIMPLY HAVING THE RIGHT SPIRIT! YOU MUST PURSUE THAT SPIRIT AND SPREAD LOVE AND JUSTICE ACROSS EVERY WORLD YOU VISIT!

    9. What is this love you speak of? The blackhole where my heart is cannot comprehend what such a passion is. It is merely lost to me and worth naught, but a consideration.

      -Tadek Pezrin. Obviously trying to be edgy.

      Delete
    10. Aye. When you have seen both the light and the darkness, you can compose poetic forms of edgy that are enlightening to read... or simply entertaining to some.

      -Tadek Pezrin

      Delete
    11. Um... if I had to make a poetic comparison, that was like... a shadow. Dark, but lacked any depth.

      Love's pretty great actually. - D. Shard

      Delete
    12. Ah, so the perfect representation of edge. Got it. Love is something I am not very experienced with. Difficult for me to feel passion, you see.
      -Tadek Pezrin

      Delete
    13. If that's your goal, sure thing.
      That's uh, pretty unfortunate. Maybe it's something you can develop with your time in the multiverse? Ah, but keep doing your own thing, so long as you're not causing too much trouble... - D. Shard

      Delete
    14. Too much trouble? What is your version of too much? Fair enough, though. However, unlike what Sigmund expects, I doubt I can find it with that Yankaka. She may be entertaining, but something seems so off. D, you have experience with yandere... How can you tell?
      -Tadek Pezrin

      Delete
    15. Too much trouble would be off setting the balance of a particular world into chaos, if you're asking me. That could be from small or genocidal actions, depending. Just be careful...

      As for the other part... um... yan..dere? - D. Shard

      Delete
    16. Ah, so things I have already done. Yandere... Dere being sweet, Yan being sick. Catherine, pretty much.

      -Tadek Pezrin

    17. Wha-



      This conversation is over. - D. Shard

    18. I have only seen such things in anime!... I don't even think you know what that is! I don't know how to deal with such things.

  2. A kaka with a cute name that suplexes!? TADEK! YOU MUST PURSUE YANKAKA! SHE WILL LEAD YOU TO HAPPINESS!!!

    1. Sigmund! I don't hear from you often. How are the many, many, many, many, many, many, many... many, many... many, many kids you have potentially have had? Happiness, though? My yandere sense is going off and rarely is it wrong.
      -Tadek Pezrin

      Delete
    2. I only have 4 kids...and as far as I know, they're okay. And yandere? Uh....It can be wrong every now and then. Also! Anyone who can suplex and give food out of love must be good!

    3. That right there is Taokaka reasoning. Besides, I am the one feeding them both! Besides, Taokaka is fine... I know that much. Just have to keep her fed. I am more worried about the fact she mentioned something about finding a "Good Guy" for herself.
      -Tadek Pezrin

      Delete
    4. Then Taokaka and I should meet and fight and eat! We will be the bestest of friends! And who doesn't want a good guy to be with?
      -Sigmund

    5. Just be warned, she is not against biting people when she is hungry enough... and it is your wallet, not mine. Eh, fair enough... However, the "Good Guy" thing sent a chill up my spine and I can't figure out why. I am not exactly a good guy to begin with.
