Chapter Text
Even in the stone, she remembers, the laugh of people after waving at her, the broken felt happiness again, the ones in despair had hope again, a mirror to their emotion she was, getting all the worst in her, giving the folks a bright light in their lives, decades lived happily, every day they were free of anything that weighed them down, it seemed so simple, and every day it got worse, fires started all around and people burnt, everybody was laughing still going in an eternal party, that is her sin, and this her punishment, being locked in stone for the eternity and beyond.
Another time she wanted to go to sleep, but the scream of freedom is heard, she can’t be held, not anymore.

The embodiment of Chaos can’t start her day without a good coffee, to mix it up she always chooses at random from all the best in the world! When she finds one she has never been it’s exalting! People aren’t even freaking out too much on seeing a rat on two legs! The chair felt as smooth as cloud, and the air refreshing, prine from the scorching sun.
“One Macha latte please!”
The waiter is masterful, never seen someone fly the cups while serving! It end on the table flawless, the cup, half of the coffee ends on the woman hand.
Chaos isn’t at fault this time! She would nerver waste coffee!
“Are you hurt? Should I- Do I call an ambulance?”
The woman raised her hand, and without flinching she washed her hand and completed the macha.
“No reason! Things that happen after all~”
What city is this? is there even one with people that resilient to heat?
The drink is good, but now her eyes looks around sporadic, she search comfort touching her key, but she has to leave it immediately,
“HOT! What’s you problem uh?”
Her whole chest is flaming, the beat is faster, she is about to open a portal home but a loud sound distracts her.
“...A moai statue.”
It's crushing a car, luckily no one is inside, when Bae approaches it she struggles with every step she smells something dangerous, but this is her duty, it's definitely something chaotic, and even with the car alarm going the people are looking at it like street art.
Circulating it is definitely a statue no doubt about it, it’s not fake, Bae decides that moving it away to study it should be better, the people are not caring but it doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous!
Before approaching, it looks shining somehow, like it’s covered in diamond dust, Chaos jumps back the Moai statue screams?!
“EVERYONE STAY BACK”
The rock cracks open light wings from its pack appears, the face crumples, breaking open a bright open diamon turn the statue to dust, a little figure comes out, more petite even then Bae, she looks around extremely confused.
“Girls? Where is everybody?”
The key in her neck screams danger, why thought? It must have not been important, when someone is lost you should help them!
Her heart screams it, she doesn’t feel the heat from it anymore and smiles at the little gem in front of her.
“Wazzup! My name is Hakos Baelz, you made real wreckage out here, need some help?”
The gem looks around seeing the car completely broken, she fidgets with her finger cutely.
“Oh! Ehehe Whoopsie? I won’t do it anymore, just an accident! (I should run)”
Yeah, a car pancake in the middle of the street would cause problems, but if it’s been an accident! It will be fine people gonna just think it's some trash in the ground!
She grabs her little one hand, smiling with all her sharp teeth!
“Let’s go! Who do you have to find? I will help you!”
Bae started pulling her along the street, the little one is trying to get away but Chaos is strong after all.
“I-I (take off you hand!) I really need to go thought! I think I heard my buddies on the other side (how are you so fucking strong!!)”
She said still looking at the sharp teeth, fear in her eyes dissipating when she smells a sweet scent.
“...is this chocolate?”
Bae stopped suddenly, looking at the bakery excitedly.
“Wanna go? Need a bite?”
She didn’t eat in millennia, well the gem didn’t need to, but her tongue is itching to taste something.
Bae pulls her inside.
“You! Something to eat for my friend!”
A croissant filled to the brim is filled, the girl eyes are a rainbow with it in her hands.
She bites it without thinking and it’s better than heaven! What did humans do during their imprisonment, she looked back at Chaos.
“Do you have more stuff like this?”
The rat grinned ready.
Finally free she wants to try every new thing.
Without paying breaking out the glass they run through the street, at calm goodbye of the store owner.
“I always wanted to run away like that!”
“You are insane Bae! Or is it normal in this part?”
“Absofuckinlutely No! But isn’t it fun! Oh this way, this way!”
The girl is still smiling brightly, but the gems in her chest aren’t rainbow anymore, they are dimmer closer to the dark, she feels it, she knows that this… rat human(first time seeing one) is doing this cause of her, every time someone is freed by her presence she takes that night inside of her.
Today as a million days ago she can’t stop looking, at why humans live with all those worries.
When the shine is brighter than a diamond without it?
They enter an ‘arcade’ dance like there is no tomorrow, these arrows are difficult to follow, but Bae moves with all her body unrestrained.
They break into another bar, both drinking all the coffee there is, the time is passing so fast, they get in this beast made of metal, that goes faster than a horse, Bijou love’s it.
The rat is laughing at her name no malice in it,
“Bruh! They truly say a name for a job! Ahahaahah!”
“Well, your is too!... Okay maybe not.”
She slammed the car still laughing like crazy.
“Hey hey! I didn’t choose it myself okay? Those lousy gods said it was fitting!”
.
“Gods?”
They are going so fast, but Bijou feels as if everything stopped.
Right, they have to do that.
As the grim reaper comes when it’s your hour, on the corner of her eyes, she sees them.
Black ink with two stars for eyes, and a raven in a blue hue, watching her, waiting.
Bijou looks again at Bae.
Looks at her key.
Asks for it.
Baelz says that she can’t give it! She had her whole life after all.
Koseki Bijou goes on crashing the car.
.
.
.
Her ears are ringing Bae gets on her feet and looks through the smoke.
She feels suddenly cold.
Reaches for her key, but it’s not there.
A laugh breaks prine from her eyes.
“HAKOS BAELZ! Embodiment of Chaos, Leader of Council! This is the first we meet am I right?! At least you ‘never’ met us! You know I feel incredibly lucky, you know your key seemed that would have been a hassle, but my favorite gem, did all an her own!”
“Yeah I know, Shiori, it was just luck!”
The smoke clears, and she smiles smugly with her key in the leader's hands, the other two, on the back.
“Aww Bijou we had so much fun though!”
Chaos's eyes darkened for the first time in centuries.
“It’s a shame.”
Dice fly around, gravity bends in all directions, waves of laughter are heard, a parade started, the three didn’t expect Chaos so wrathful
But the leader smiles with no fear, she doesn’t have the time to feel it.
“Bijou.”
Her gems is made for absorb the worse in everybody, what is worse thought? How do you decide what is bad for someone? It never worked, it’s always been a curse that made everybody lose their sense of self, but in time, in the years Bijou fought it to overcome it.
The result?
Night sky the gems, all the worries she absorbed in the year go down on Bae, fear, anxiety, and depression, push her to the ground.
“It was really fun Bae, sorry for this but we need it. Hope we see in the next life!”
Books fly in the sky, for a second she looks at them and the 3 are gone, slowly Chaos her head hammering her down, closes herself in her cocoon.

“...AH! At least…. it was fun ahahaha”
