Hello~ This story is the counterpart of Kai's Peace in a Pirate's Heart. I felt sad the Ammy's mate Oki uh...I shouldn't spoil it for you, but something bad happens to him and I felt that we shouldn't torture Ammy so much. So ya, here the counterpart.
I don't own One Piece or Okami. But I do own Yukira and her dad.
Chapter 1
~Yukira's POV~
The day I was born, I died. I brought death everywhere I went. It seemed to hover over me like a lion waiting the right time to kill its prey. My mother ate a devil fruit. The result: my death.
The day after I died, my father killed mother with no regrets. He took me out of her womb and forced me through experiments. I hated him for that, but what could a child know what is right from wrong. I accepted the fact my father killed mother. I didn't care during those times.
A few years later, father found out why I died. It was because of the powers of the Zetsumei Fruit, the Taker of Life Fruit. For it's powers to be used the user has to die. It allowed its user to take away life force, add wounds to the soul which forces the opponent to rest and eventually die, or take life from the living in other words death.
My father liked the idea of my powers. He wondered if he could expand their limits and maybe just maybe be able to put another power in me. Acid seemed to flow through my veins each night. I writhed in pain, but made no sound. I couldn't, if I didn't want green goop to flow down my wind pipe. Every evening, I was sore, in pain. I could feel something inside change, but I didn't know what.
Father was a friend of the wolf poachers. I never liked killing. Shirayuki supported my idea. Why couldn't we be friends with the wolves? She told me about Amaterasu and Oki, the alphas of their pack, and how her family wanted them dead. She didn't want to betray Amaterasu. They were friends, but she could either be exiled by her family or kill her friend's family. I wished I could tell her my ideas and suggestions, but unfortunately I haven't talked since the day I was born. Shirayuki sympathized for me, I didn't want sympathy. I wanted freedom.
As time passed, Shirayuki seemed to become more fragile. She couldn't talk as much, fell asleep often during our chats, and never voiced her problems. I was worried. What was happening to my friend?
A few months later, Shirayuki never came to visit me. I wondered what was wrong? I felt lonely again.
~Father's POV~
"I think you're ready, daughter." I put my hand on the cool glass. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a fruit opposite to the Death Fruit, the Itonami Fruit, the Giver of Life Fruit. True to its name, the fruit allowed the user to give life to inanimate objects, give a soul more life force, or give life to the dead. Taking off the cap to one of the tubes hooked onto Yukira, I dropped the fruit into the stream of liquid. The fruit slowly dissolved and Yukira struggled against her chains, a silent scream left her mouth. I stared at my heir, hoping the experiment worked. If it was successful, then she shall help us kill off the remaining wolves.
~Regular POV~
Yukira Shinra looked like an exact replica of her mother. Even though the experiments have altered her appearance permanently, she still had her mother's features. Her pale skin was now a gloomy gray mimicking the skin tone of corpses. The rosy lips now a rusty maroon pulled back into a snarl. Black hair now golden white hung limply from her scalp. Black nails dug into the palm of her hands. The pain was unbearable. Piercing wolf eyes snapped open screaming for the pain to stop. Her elf-like ears twitched for a sign of help, but she heard none. She could see her father, standing there with a smirk on his face. Her eyes shifted rapidly. Suddenly, every motion faded. Yukira was once again dead.
~Father's POV~
"NO!" I slammed my fist on the wall. This couldn't happen. I made her perfectly capable of carrying two devil fruit powers. But there, right in front of me she floated, motionless. I shut off the machine.
"Well, like they always say. When you want the job to be done right, you gotta go it yourself." With a flick of my lab coat, I was off in search of the two alpha wolves, Amaterasu and Oki.
~Yukira's POV~
I "died" again. I have no heartbeat, curtsy of the Zetsumei Fruit. But I could feel life flowing through me. That was unnatural. Father must have given me another fruit. But which fruit? My body still aches from the two powers. I couldn't hear the machine going. Did father think I was dead? I might be able to free myself. Rusting the metal that chained me in this glass container, I fell to the bottom of the spherical glass. I put my hands on the glass and it slowly deteriorated. The goop flushed out, taking me with it. I landed on the cold stone floor and I greedily took in air. Finally, freedom.
~Father's POV~
"Damn this body is heavy," I hauled the dead body of Oki to my experiment table. "That stupid Amaterasu. Should've buried her mate when she had the chance." I could use the body against her. I went back into my daughter's room. I flicked on the lights. She wasn't there. The glass was broken, the fluid suspending her was ever where, chains dangled helplessly...
"Where is she!"
~Yukira's POV~
Who's this? I looked at the body of a wolf, a male wolf. Wait, isn't he Amaterasu's mate? Father, He must want to experiment on him. I should help him get out, even if it's his dead body. I tried to move his body. It was heavy. I don't want him to be experimented on. I knew I had powers of the dead, but what good would that do on a dead body. It's not like I could give... life... Wait a second, That must be it. Father gave me the the fruit opposite to the Zetsumei fruit. If Zetsumei is that Taker of Life, then the opposite would be Giver of Life, Itonami. But, wouldn't that mean I have to give my life force to Oki... But what if I took someone else's life force and gave it to Oki... then...
"Where is she!" My train of thought stopped.
"Shimatta, Father has found out I'm still alive. I have to hurry." My voice sounded foreign to me. It sounded like soft little bell chimes. I backed into the shadows, waiting for my father.
~Father's POV~
"Where is that little bitch," I muttered. When i entered the experimentation room, dread hung threateningly in the air. I ignored the feeling and went to the corpse. I grabbed the scalpel on the silver tray.
"Now let's have a look." I grinned evilly. The air around me disappeared. Gasping for breathing, I frantically searched what was happening. The life was being sucked out of me. I turned around. There she was. Yukira. My daughter.
~Regular POV~
Yukira slithered out of the darkness and silently crept up behind her father. She put her slender corpse hands around his neck and sucked out his life force. Father turned his head around, shocked that his daughter would actually kill him. He struggled, trying to get out of her grip. Gradually, the light in his eyes dimmed until they were a milky blue. His body limp and collapsed to the floor. Yukira stared at her hands. She stared in disbelief. Would it be enough to revive Oki without killing her? Her demonic eyes set its sight back on her dead father and the laboratory.
"I think this'll be enough for now." She muttered. "Nobody shall see what my father has done, but first..." Yukira stood in front of Oki and put her lips on his fuzzy forehead. A silver glow surrounded both of them. Yukira started feeling a little tired so she stopped giving life to the purple and red wolf. At first there was no movement in the body. Then a twitch from his left ear. A breath. Shift of eyes. He was alive once more.
"Oki? Can you wake up?" The wolf didn't move.
"Oki," Yukira questioned once more, "We should leave." She moved her hand over his head.
"Please."
"Who... Are... You...?" Came a weak question from the wolf.
"My name is Yukira Shinra." A weak fierce growl left the alpha male.
"You work with the wolf hunters."
"No. My father does. I do not. I wish to be your friend," Yukira stated calmly.
"Lies!" Oki's red eyes snapped open glaring at her.
"If I were lying, then would a father kill her mother just because she's in the way? Would he feed his daughter lies? Would a father experiment on his daughter just to kill wolves? Would a daughter love her father is he did these things?"
"...No."
"Nice to have that settled."
"How am I alive? I'm suppose to be dead." Oki slowly stood on his paws, stumbling a little.
"I revived you."
"How?"
"Years ago, while I was still in my mother's womb, she accidentally at the Zetsumei Fruit, but the powers didn't go to her instead it went to me. The day I was born was when I died, I was a stillborn baby. This activated the devil fruit's powers. The fruit needs the user to die once for its powers to release. My powers took some life force from one of the nurses. So here I am alive. I could've eaten another devil fruit. My father knew that. So when my father saw my mother was useless, he killed her. With no regrets. She was just a pawn in his game. I was only six then. Mother gave me a ring as a memento of her. Father experimented on me for the next 20 years. Each night, he made me stronger so I could kill your pack. Of course, I didn't understand much until one of the poacher's daughter came to visit me. Her name was Shirayuki. She made me realize that what my father was doing was wrong. I wanted to help but alas I was weak in that trap. The experiments altered my appearance. When father sought that my 'training' was complete, he injected the fruit opposite to the Zetsumei Fruit, the Itonami Fruit. Father though that the two fruits killed me, but in reality they were just battling for dominance. After I was alive again, I destroyed my containment, killed my father, and gave you his life force."
"Thank you, young one."
"Your welcome." Yukira smiled kindly, "Now we have to get out of here, who knows if the hunters are here."
"What do we do with the body?" Yuira didn't reply to Oki's question. Instead she kneeled beside the corspe and drained any other life force there was in the organism. When she removed her hand, all was left was dust in the shape of a human.
Heavy sounds of footsteps bounced off the walls.
"Shimatta, father must have informed the hunters that he's found one of the alpha's dead. We have to leave now." Yukira went to her father's weapon wall and took a small lilac box.
"Climb on my back," Oki stated lowering his body so Yukira could climb on easily.
They rushed out of the room and down the hallway. Right when they burst through the door, a variety of weapons were pointed at them. Yukira and Oki stared at the hunters and vice versa, daring the opposite team to make the first move. Yukira leaned towards Oki's ear, "Can you fight?" Oki's replied w/ a flick of his ear. Yukira slid off the alpha male's back and stood beside him. The hunters made the first move.
~Yukira's POV~
Mother's weapons... She told me I could channel my powers into them. Let's see if that's true. Taking my mother's ring off the necklace, I inserted it into the box. The box glowed and my chosen weapon fell into my hands. "In the box, there are many weapons Yukira. When you insert the ring, you can choose any weapon and it will appear." My ghost of mother told me.
~Hunters' POV~
Oh shit! We're screwed! And they all panicked (sort of...)
~Yukira's POV~
CRACK! And the battle started. I flicked my sinister black whip again. It glowed with my Zetsumei powers. I smirked menacingly. With a flick of of my weapon, it lashed out onto the nearest hunter. The hunter struggled to escape, but the effort was futile. Gradually, his eyes began to dim until he crumpled to the floor in the form of dust. As this was happening, Oki was protecting me from any attacks as I drained them of their life force. Blood splattered on the floor like a hose as dust and limp bodies laid helplessly at the onslaught. By the time the whole clan was slaughtered, we stood in the middle covered in blood, panting.
"Well, that was a nice work out."
"I agree," Oki agreed licking his paws. I feel to the floor in utter exhaustion.
"Damn... maybe it was a bad idea to fight when I've been kept locked up for many years..."
"Here." With the help of Oki, I climbed onto his furry back. I tried to take in more air. My body was shutting itself down.
"I'll take you to a safe haven." Oki assured me. My fingers slowly relinquished their grasp on his fur. Everything started getting blurry. As the wind picked up, I felt a change in Oki and warm arms securely holding me in place. Who... before I could finish my train of thought, I fell into darkness.
