Densetsu no Hoshiko Sorano

The Legend of the Star of the Sky

AN: I did not create the Ronin Warriors, however some new characters will popup throughout the story. This is not a Mary Sue…I repeat this is not a Mary Sue. The story starts off in Feudal Japan and then jumps forward to the future.

Chapter 1: When Angels Fall

"Chiclaria forgive me!" Touma cried as he gently cradled the young woman in his arms and softly cried into her shoulder. "I'm so sorry I couldn't save you from that monster. I deserve to die for my failure."

"Oh Touma," the young woman said as she gently touched his cheek with her small delicate hand and smiled as the young blue-haired man gently slipped his large warm hand over hers. "Don't blame yourself, you did all you could do."

"I know…it's just that I'll never see you again and you mean so much to me. I love you Chiclaria and I don't want you to leave me." Touma said softly as he gently ran his fingers through her long brown hair.

"Touma let me ask you something. Do you believe that you'll see me again when you die?" slowly he nodded his head as she smiled and put a hand to his cheek as he put his hand over hers. "Then we will see each other again and until that day I want you to live your life without any regrets. I'll be waiting for you, Touma. I love you. I love you all. Farewell."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body went limp in his arms. Slowly Touma bowed his head and let the tears run down his face, "Why'd you let this happen to her Reo? You knew she wasn't ready to confront such a monster."

"Chiclaria felt she was ready, besides our attacks weren't having any effect." Reo, a young man with wild black hair and blue eyes, said as he sadly watched his mourning friend.

"Touma has a good point, Ryo. It was our job to protect her and we failed. And now our own lives are forfeit as well because we failed to protect her!" A young blonde spoke angrily.

"Well I think she was ready, Seiji." Shu said as he stepped in front of Reo protectively.

"Will you all just knock it off and quit fighting already?" cried out an auburn haired young man in a stern tone as he tried to push the two boys apart. "There was nothing we could've done to save her and fighting about it will do nothing but cause more pain."

"You should listen to your friend…" a soft gentle voice spoke from behind them and they looked up in surprise as a man dressed in a monkish like outfit approached them. "There was nothing you could have done to save the girl's life, no matter what you may think. Poor Chiclaria she was our last hope."

"Who are you? How'd you know Chiclaria?" Touma asked as he stood to face the woman approaching them.

"I am Anubis, the High Priest of the Agaru Fushicho Temple. Chiclaria was a servant at the temple for a short time, before the dark war began." As she finished speaking, the woman knelt down by the fallen young woman and gently scooped the girl's body up in her arms.

"That must have been right before our clans sent us to protect her." Seiji said as the red-haired man continued speaking.

"Yes I knew that the five of you would be able to protect Chiclaria while I tried to make peace between the fighting clans. For even though she was just a servant, I soon came to realize the truth about her heritage… Chiclaria is actually a descendant of long forgotten Sacred Guardians who watch over all life in the universe. Now that the last of the guardians has died, there is only one thing left to be done." As he finished speaking, the High Priest stood with Chiclaria in his arms and held her up to the sky.

Slowly the girl's body began to light with a soft golden glow that intensified until the warmth of the glow consumed them then suddenly blew away with a strong gust of wind. When they opened their eyes, Chiclaria's body had disappeared from his arms.

"It is done, your friend lives again…Guardian Samurai." Anubis said as he looked back at the gaping young samurais.

"Then where is she? I…I…I don't see her anywhere." Touma asked as he looked pleadingly at the monk before him.

"I'm afraid she now must live in the future where she will be safe from the warring clans and the creatures and assassins they send after her." The monk said sadly as he stared at the setting sun and then the boys noticed that he was now semi-transparent. "But not without a price…I gave my soul's energy to the girl so that she could live again, and now my time with you grows short. Reo Sanada approach me."

"I'm here Anubis," Reo said as he stepped forward and knelt in front of the monk. "What do you wish of me?"

"Reo Sanada, you are to lead your friends in this mission: to find Chiclaria and take your place at her side as her protectors once more. From this day forward no longer will you be called "Reo" but "Ryo Sanada". Lead and protect your friends well for they will need you now more than ever. This is your mission, will you accept it?"

"Yes I will, I was supposed to protect Chiclaria and I failed. This time I will not make the same mistake again."

"Then arise Ryo Sanada. Now I call forth Seiji." Anubis said as Ryo stood off to his right.

"I am here to serve you." Seiji said as he bowed deeply before the priest then knelt down on one knee.

"Now you are to serve your Chiclaria and your friends as Sage Date: strategist and advisor." Anubis said in a gentle but firm voice. "May the Guardians watch over you, my young knight. "Shin step forth."

Slowly the young auburn haired young man stepped forward and bowed his head before the priest.

"Shin: wise, kind, and understanding…these gifts will surely help you keep your friends together during the rough times ahead." Anubis said warmly as he gently placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "As you bond with your friends so shall you bond with the chosen one and befriend her before they do. You shall do this as Cye Mouri, the protector. Shu come forth."

"I am ready to do my duty." The young man said solemnly as he stepped forward.

"Shu your physical strength is nothing when compared to the strength of your heart. Never forget that truth and it will become your greatest asset Kento Rei Faun."

"Thank you Anubis, I will remember." Kento said as he knelt before the priest with his hand on the ground.

"Touma to you falls the most difficult task, you must be prepared to meet a Chiclaria who may not know you. She may even be afraid of you, but I promise that she will come to trust you in time…despite her fears." Anubis said as he placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "Because you are a member of the Hideyoshi clan, the sworn enemy of the Tokugawa clan, now and forever more…you shall as Rowen Hashiba the strong one. Now it's time for you to begin your journey into the future to find Chiclaria…farewell Guardian Samurai." As he finished speaking, Anubis disappeared in a shower of lights.
