kono nomo mono kono.
I found myself writing after that last little piece of dialog.

Series: Original
Words: 2,190
Comments: Writing it down 'cus I just was. And for some reason I didn't want to stop. And so I don't forget.
Notes: "----" = a new "scene". I think it's pretty much 2 or 3 random chunks that filed into my head that I just wanted to get the info for it down. POVs can, and DO change (literally) every other sentence. This is not real writing by any standard. There's 4 characters mentioned here. The main character (the boy, who I've called Kale for some reason), his Konomo (random word that looks liek Komono =D! Komono Dragons?) which is a beast like thing or "partner" as mentioned in previous post, the random girl in the beginning, and the Konomo that gets killed.

Uhmm.. the Boy refers to the Beast Konomo as an "it", and the Beast refers to the boy as an "it". Both refer to themselves as "he" (for the most part.. I'm not actually consistent in writing.. nor drawing for that matter), although I think the Konomo can sometimes been seen as more sex-less entity if it wants to. At the same time, it can also choose to represent a sex (otherwise the thing with the mom wouldn't have happened.
Oh yeah. And I say the Konomo has eyes at one point, but really.. I don't think they do. I imagine some sort... Those white "evas" from the Evangelion movie type of things. With those huge mouths. Although I think he'd be more of a deep blue colour. And no lipstick.
Disclaimer: This.. probably won't make sense just like the rest of the stuff here. I just want to get it down. Most of the imagery of where they are, like back alleys, or open aired arenas or what not are all pretty much in my head.. so the odds that there's anything descriptive in that to explain where they are... uhmm.. well, it doesn't exist.


"Iiiiii Naaa~ Kono Konomo."

It seemed almost intentional the way she pressed her breasts together, only lengthening the line of her cleavage as she seemed to squirm around on the spot in.. what? Jealousy? Joy? Pleading. I honestly couldn't tell you.

She walked up to screen displaying the beast, pressing a finger against the flat surface, tracing it along it's image. "Mmmm... I wish it were mine instead." Her face turned instead.. to me. It almost seemed boastful, evil? Like some part of her was imagining what it would be like if.. I wasn't here.

"Hmph." I turned, placing my hands at the back of my head. What did I care what she thought. "Fine, take it for all I care."

"Che--" I turned at the sound, her playfulness seemed to disappear, and she had a degrading look on her face, "Only the Konomo can choose who their heart is. You don't get any say in it."

".. Neither do you then."

That grin returned to her face, and it made me wonder.. if she'd gotten her say in before. Brushing her hair back over her shoulder, and easing up on the pressure on her cleavage she straightened up and walked away from me. "I'll be waiting for your finish~ Bye Bye~!"

".. Keh." What was that supposed to mean, anyway. Was she going to try and off me, just to take over as the puppet of that condescending beast. Fine, what would I care anyways.

"Don't you get it...? ... You're expendable."

My body seemed to stop with that memory. It still.. It really kills your reason for being when someone says you're just a spare organ in the grande scheme of things. They probably have a whole freezer filled of humans "spare parts", just waiting to pop the next one out.

"Yeah, well.. I wish I was still in there now." Kicking the ground I turned from the screen, and headed to the door. I had no reason to be here any longer. I just wanted out.

------

"What are you saying?!"

".. Quiet."

"First-- First you tell me I'm just some spare part, I'm EXPENDABLE, I'm just some piece of flesh for YOUR survival, and now you're telling me I'm not even HUMAN?"

"Quiet."

"Oh, well, that's just GREAT, isn't it?! I suppose everyones like this, aren't they?! And here we all were thinking we're poor little humans getting taken over by the big mean monster, but NOOO, we actually just got FUCKED over by some hierarchal society that we didn't even KNOW EXISTED."

"QUIET!"

"And if that's not enough--"

"I ORDERED YOU TO BE QUIET!!"

A false set of silence finally fell as the last of the echo fleshed it's way through the intricating back alleys and broken down buildings. The boys incessant cries finally came to an end... but the sounds didn't stop.

The piercing cry of a Komono hit the air heavy, almost blanketing it in a deep sense of red.

The eyes frayed away to slivered yellow as they took in the image around them, abandoning that other type of sense as it drowned itself.

The rooftops seemed bearing, as if hiding something just beyond their edges. The broken down windows looked as if they had black eyes staring from amidst their depths. The shallow breathe of the boy flitted into his vision as it seemed to scan the same surroundings as him.

His attention seemed to snap back quickly enough, pulling his widened eyes back to the creature.

"Well that's just great. Now look what you've done. Just HAD to lose your composure this ONE time didn't you? Gawd, what fucking possessed you to--"

".. I ordered silence from you. You didn't obey." His eyes pulled in tight, eroding to reveal the empty catseye pupils.

"Oh FORGIVE me Master," he pulled himself down into an exagerrated bow. "I was unable to fulfill your grandest of wishes because I was merely possessed at that thought that I DON'T FUCKING EXIST IN MY OWN RIGH---"

It was quick. Quick enough for the boy not to notice. Quick enough for the spine like hairs to pick themselves up off his back, and quick enough for his teeth to be revealed from that normally expressionless mouth.

Quick enough for it not to notice his tail jetting out to severe it's jestering arm.

The boy seemed to stop, the knowledge only too slow to dawn on him as his arm hit the ground, the severed tendons causing the fingers to twitch momentarily as blood began to pool out and mingle with the dirt and grit on the ground. Everything seemed to stop as he could no longer feel his fingers responding to the messages his brain was giving to them.

Everything stopped as the beast turned its head skywards as the piercing "kre" filled the air again, and disappeared from infront of the boy with the thrust of its hind legs.

Everything stopped for him (Kale?). He found the knees of his jeans dampen as he realised he had collapsed on to them.. the blood being absorbed into their fibres.

Everything stopped as thoughts were saying goodbye, and his eyes shut black.

----

Itching. Like a scratch you couldn't reach. It was irritating beyond belief that it almost made him want to get up, reach over and--

He felt his fingers touch dampened cloth. A sticky liquid covering them. Instinctually he brought his fingers infront of his face to see what was on it.. but there was only black.

He watched as the boy reached for the blindfold around his eyes.

"Leave it. Your circular optical components had removed themselves from their sheathed lids, so I ensure they remained where they were with that."

The voice was low, heavy. It hung on the damp air around him. Realising who the other was, he remembered his voice.

"..... pils... p.. puls..." He swalled once, "Pupils. They're called pupils."

"I ensure they remained where they were. I assumed that would be better for your survival."

The word hit a note with him, and the itching made itself known again. He rached over to what could only be some kind of crude bandage obscuring his turn appendage from sight.

Feeling down, tracing his fingers along.. he felt the damp blood, the texture of the clothe, the dry blood, and... the substance underneath it?

"..... what is this?"

"I replaced your lost appendage with another."

"Lost?! LOST?! It wasn't fucking lost you FREAKING SLICED IT OFF." He cringed at the suddent movement, clutching the arm in the process. It didn't feel right. It was too lrage.. bulky. It didn't match.. but.. he felt his fingers twitch as he moved. They responded. This couldn't be real, could it?

" You weren't obeying orders..."

"FUCKING SHIT, Don't pull that on me with THIS fucking thing--"

"And...."

He stopped, his head lowering as if glaring through the clothe around his eyes.

"... I had to see if I was right."

The air was damp. Moist even, with a sense of sound that was no sound at all. As if the air wasn't even breaking to allow sound through. He couldnt' stand it. He had to break it.

"... You're telling me.. You 'removed' my arm for some freaking turmoil going on in your fucked up head."

The creature looked at him with his seemingly eyeless face. The dampness seemed to be spreading. He didn't want it to.

" You're saying that.. after all the shit you've pulled me through tonight, telling me I'm some kind of.. not-even-human reject, and then cutting off my arm was all just to satisfy your fucking curiosity?"

It's silence continued. He didn't want it to suffocate him.

"You're TELLING ME this thinking I'll JUST ACCEPT IT," he pulled off the blindfold with his good hand, eye flashing open to stare right at the beast. The suffocation seemed to lift. "and that EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE?!"

At this, the beast turned his head to the side slightly, as if the thing infront of him had lost his interest.

"Why not just THROW ME away then?! I'm EXPENDABLE, right?! RIGHT?!" His breathe was hot on the air. " Why don't you just FUCKING REPLACE ME THEN!"

The beast turned back, its head arching up to meet the raised position of the boys head.

"... I was wrong. I can not replace you."

"Yah, well, you don't treat the things you're stuck with very well, do you." He pulled the bandaged limb up infront of him, giving the beast a good look at what he'd done.

The beasts gaze focused on the limb before turning away again.

Angered, the boy decided not to waste his attention on this ungrateful creature, and focused instead on the limb itself. Clutching it, he felt a slight ease as a pressure was placed over the irritating spots. The bandage began to shift to reveal a deep blue skin meshing with his own pink flesh.

"... what is this?"

" I replaced your arm with a limb I acquired through the events of evening."

"... you're telling me that this.. thing.. is a Konomo's arm?"

The beast stared silently. The boy shut his eyes tight, water leaking around their edges. That sickening suffocation seemed to be spreading again.

He peered down at the junction between the two, and blinked.. furrowing his brows.

"What.. is it doing?"

"You are devouring the flesh of the Konomo Flayte."

"... come again?"

The beast seemed to sigh, it's normally prompt and square shoulders sagging slightly.

"Your flesh is melding with the flesh of the konomo. Until you finish devouring the flesh of the konomo it's limb will become yours, functioning as your previous limb would have."

".. Wait. Where IS my real arm."

The beasts lips tightened slightly. "I devoured it."

The boy didn't even need to speak to prompt the beast to explain this, his expression clear enough to show his utter disbelief and annoyance.

"Upon returning from battle with the Knomo Flayte I found my physical shell exhausted and required nutrients to feed myself. Since your previous limb was of no further use to you, I used it for my own benefit."

" .. you.. did... I... NO."

If it had eyes, they would have narrowed as his snout lowered. "Do not forget that you are merely an assistance to my body. I will sustain my body even at your own cost."

"There should be something SPECIFICALLY wrong with devouring the symbiotic THING you're linked to. GAWD. FUCK. WHY."

"Because-"

He held out a hand. "I don't want a specific explanation. I don't need to hear it again." He turned slowly, placing his head in his hand, and walked staggerdly.. the strange limb brushing against the walls of the alley.

"Because.... " it spoke quietly in the air, " you are not human." It looked down at its claw, clenching it under the moonlight, " But, instead.. you are something we have not seen before. As if in your blood runs a Konomo... and that there's more to this than just a beating heart to fuel my body." . The beast looked up to the moon as it hung behind the clouds.

As the boy walked, his eyes shut, and his feet leading him to anywhere... the air seemed to almost get a little clearer.

Notes: Kale is a konomo/human breed, his mother hiding him amidst the freezer of humans to protect him from becoming a halfling konomo himself. Since becoming a konomo would force him to pair with a human, that might elutimately kill him, not being able to sustain two heart like influences. Also becoming a Konomo would force him to be in the immediate path of protection and violence. In this way Kale will always be the heart. Be the organ protected inside of the ribs.

Kale was spawned through a heart and konomo relationship. Essentially his mother obtained what Kale will one day obtain. He will literally be the organ protected by the shell. In this way, combined with her love to the Konomo itself, she created her child.

Kale rival has achieved this. Where the Konomo and heart touch, and Konomo essnetially breaks.. reversing itself such that it's outside becomes it's inside.. and inside is a hardened shell outside. The Konomo may realise this when he finds a "new" adversary, with no heart. Heartless? Perhaps.. they are legends. Konomo that have surpassed the seperation, and joined as one entitiy. Much like the arm on Kale, the right heart can fuse into the konomo, but because Kale is part konomo it happens the other way around. This realisation to the Beast is a scary one. Instead of being the stable entity, he's questioning whether or not HIS existance will disappear to the heart.

In this, there are soem others like Kale. Very few, however. Like, one. On old man that perhaps is revered for unknown reasons? Or that Kale met one day. But how could a man.. wait, nevermind. It makes sense. More so. The old man's mother is a Konomo instead of a "heart".
