Angel's Gaiden
Birth of a Hero
It was the beginning of summer. Paradise for teenagers, they could party, go out and have fun, spend time with friends, drive to the beach. Anything they wanted, except one. He was kind of peculiar for his age. He never liked to go out and have fun or party. He stayed at home. But, that was all about to change for him. And who knows? Maybe he will have fun.
Today is the day to visit his girlfriend for a week. He's a bit ecstatic since he can't see her everyday like others in relationships. It was hot and the sun was shining on his blondish-brownish hair that covered about half of his eyes. It shined like a pool of muddy gold.
"Cloukora! You're gonna miss your flight!" His mom yelled with a calm tone.
With this, he pulled off the blanket and jumped out of bed in his dark blue swimming trunks that fell past his knees and black baggy shirt. He was slender and was of average height. His bags under his eyes showed he was always stressed out and tired. He quickly changed into a pair of dark baggy jeans that dropped down almost to the ground and slipped into a black with AC DC in the middle with a lightning bolt between the AC and the DC. Then he headed out into the kitchen and made a bowl of cereal and sat at the table in the dining room next to the kitchen and started eating while his sister watched the news
"In other news, the war in Iraq still continues with yet more tragedies..." The news broadcaster said. She seemed about the age of 25. She had flowing blonde hair that was like an ocean that kissed the blue typical newscaster jacket. Her eyes were like oceans with the sun reflecting on them. She had dark red lipstick with an amount of make-up that complimented her eyes.
With this, Cloukora sighed. "What the hell has happened to this world?"
"We gotta hurry Cloukora!" his mom said in a kind tone as she walked out into the dining room. His mom was about his height with long curly brown hair with blonde highlights. There was kindness in her deep brown eyes. He hurried and slipped on his black Airwalks with dark green soles.
As they were locking the maroon apartment door, Cloukora thought he saw a dark, shadowy figure standing on the side walk across the street of the apartments. He just shook his head in disbelief.
Must be my imagination He thought to himself. Then he continued to walk down the concrete with the flimsy vertical wooden railing stairs of the apartments, across the black asphalt parking lot to the car. As usual, children were playing wallball against the grey brick wall that hid the large brown trash compactor and the large green recycling bin. And kids, probably pre-teens Cloukora had always thought, riding their skateboards up and down the concrete sidewalk that lay next to the apartments.
The car was a 1996 fire red Dodge Durango that was always kept in shape and neat condition because of his mom. After he opened the passenger door and sat down on the soft gray cushion seat, he let out a breath of air showing he was anxious. Yet still in his mind he wondered about that figure, it seemed so real and creepy to him. On the way the way to the airport, he kept trying to block it out, but whenever he tried he saw another shadow. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
On the trip to the Portland Airport he thought he was going insane. He still kept seeing figures like they were following him. He tried to ignore it. But, it was just impossible.
"You okay?" His mother asked. "You seem a bit apprehensive."
"Yeah, a little bit." He said. Then turned up the radio to try and get his mind off of the figures.
"We just have word from the government that an elite Special Forces squad was, and I quote 'swallowed' up by the sand and crushed. We pay our respects to the families of the fallen. Let us have a moment of silence." The radio station was quiet for about a minute or two, as was the car and 4 other children. "We now have word that the President is going to-" he paused seeming like he didn't want to say what he was going to say. "Going to draft more men. All available men and women 18 to 30 must report to the nearest recruiting center. If you are pregnant, ill, diagnosed with a disease, and/or mentally ill. If you have children, one of the parents or guardians must go.
"Good thing you and dad don't have to go." Cloukora said with relief. His parents didn't have to because his parents were over 30. So he was lucky
"True, but some people we know have to." Said his mother with a little grief on her face. Cloukora became saddened a little as well.
Cloukora quickly recovered and said to cheer up his mom, "Don't worry, I'm sure God will watch over them." He said with a smile.

"Here we are." His mother stated when they arrived at the airport. "Good luck, and be careful. You remember her address right?"
"Yeah, and don't worry I will." He assured her.
"Oh! Don't even think about doing anything! I don't want grandchildren yet!" She warned him but with hint of joking in her voice.
"Mom! I won't! I know you don't. I don't want kids yet either." Cloukora said with loyalty in his eyes and a smile on his face. "But I have to go before the plane leaves. Love you and I'll see you in a week."
"Love you too!" she said
"Bye everyone! Be good for mom!" He said to his 4 siblings as he was walking off.

After all the announcements were finished with on the plane, and as they took off, he leaned back in the soft cushion seat next to a man who was typing on his laptop, most likely business-related, and tried to relax. But he just kept thinking about the figures he saw. How fast they ran, faster than the car. Glaring at him when they stopped. Could they be on the plane? Could they be terrorists following him? He tried to shake it off, but his thoughts changed in his dreams. Sort of.
(_ _)…ooo000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you want to do to this world ****?!" Exclaimed what seemed to be him.
"What every villain wants of course!" said the mysterious shadowy figure with a grin "To rule the world. NO! The universe!"
"I won't allow you!" said Cloukora's image as he drew something like a key but a bit odd shaped out of thin air. The metal was blue and the edge and handle was purple with purple aura flowing around it with metal that stuck out like thorns. Metal curved on each side of the metal bar and on the right side, it had the hiragana characters for rasen and the characters for kage on the other side.
"Hmph!"
Before the figure could even move, Cloukora was already in front of him and swung the "keyblade" at the figures chest but the "villain" drew a bright yellow blade that had a small spike on the end of the handle one on each end of the hand guard. The blade was huge, it started square from the handle and then slanted up on a side. Etched into the blade was a yellow lightning bolt that extended down from the tip to about 2/3 of the blade then split into two to the sides. Below that, is a three-triangle triangle. The exterior triangles were yellow while the interior was blue. Blue surrounded the triangle, while on the right side of the lightning bolt was yellow and the right was light blue. It had a three-triangle triangle as a key chain and was yellow on the exterior and black in the blocked the keyblade.
"Is that-?" Cloukora said with amazement. "Th- the Light Blade?!"
"Hmph, those who have seen it, have not lived to tell the story!" The figure said as he knocked Cloukora back.
"Then how the hell did you get a hold of it?!" he said as he regained his balance.
"Simple, I killed the owner."
"Tch, figures, you're just a cold-hearted bitch."
"Ouch that hurt!"
"Well, this hella is gonna hurt!!" He yelled as he drew a katana. "Hmph."
"Hah! Like that's gonna work! It's just a piece-of-crap-katana!"
"Hmph…Howl ****! BANKAI!!!!!!!" He shouted with a smirk on his face. The katana transformed into a curved heavy medium size yellow blade that had a black streak down the middle that resembled lighting with yellow spikes on each end of the blue hand guard. At the hand guard, two red triangles on each side of the blade connected to the blade and the guard. The end of the blade had a black square that stuck out then two black circles then another square that would allow more damage done to his opponent. On the right side of the streak, light was emitted. On the left, it was blue and the handle was green.
The figure was in awe and had fear in him for a second then went back to keep his guard.
"Hmhmhmhmhm. TIME TO DIIIEEE!!!!!!" He yelled as he created a second katana and threw the one in his right hand. Then pointed at it and moved his finger to point at the figure then above him then beneath him and the sword went through his chest then through his head. Then he kept moving his finger rapidly making movements that would seem to go through the figure but instead it was sword that did the dirty work. After the figure fell to the ground, Cloukora walked over to him.
"Give up?"
"H-how? How did you do that?"
"A word of advice, don't screw with someone that can defy any law." He said as he mounted hid sword onto his shoulder.

Cloukora then woke up. The dream seemed so real.
'Not another one of those dreams, damn.' He thought to himself. When he woke up, a young couple behind him were talking about their vacation to Germany. He smiled at the thought of how much they loved each other. Then the in-flight movie came on, it was the movie he thought was the worst and hated, High School Musical. He put on his headphones and listened to his music the rest of the way there and fell asleep every once in awhile.
(-.-)…
"Hmm, I probably should get something to eat first I guess. I might just be seeing things because I'm hungry." He said to himself after he got off the plane. He then thought he saw another figure on the airport building crouching and looking at him. "Not here too?"
"Yes, we are real and alive. You'll understand why we are following you later." A mysterious voice said, but when Cloukora turned around, no one was there.
Cloukora then let out a deep sigh.
"Well time for food." He said then walked off to find some food at the food court at the airport.
^(^^)^
"Ahh, here's the street," He said when he pulled around the corner in the yellow battered taxi. "SW Destiny Road. Now for the house. 44. 44. 44. 44. Here it is." He said.
Then he got out and knocked on the door, waiting for her to answer the door. But, instead, it was a boy about his age wearing a blue t-shirt and tan shorts that dropped a little below his knees. "Hey, you must be Aurora's brother right? Is Aurora around?" all the boy did was stare at Cloukora blankly. Then finally spoke
"Umm, hold on. Aurora!" The boy shouted through the house.
Cloukora saw Aurora pace to the door. She seemed surprised and shocked when she got there. She looked beautiful in her pink top and white skirt with her brown hair flowing and he brown eyes twinkling. "Umm, Cloukora? Wow! What are you doing all the way out in Germany?"
"To see you, this is your brother right?" Cloukora asked.
Both of them were silent
"Right?"
Silence.
"Right?!"
"C-Cloukora. I know you came all the way out to see me, but umm. I don't know how to say this, but I found someone else. Especially in my area that I can see all the time. I tried e-mailing you this morning."
Cloukora just looked down at the ground. The emotions that were in him couldn't be described, he regretted even thinking she was beautiful. "Do whatever the fuck you want. Not my damn problem anymore." Then he walked off down the concrete pavement with the sun beating on his back.
They both were silent for a few.
"Let's go eat breakfast sweetie." The girl who had hurt his heart said.
(_ _)
******************************************************************
Cloukora then found a pub called The Hope of Destiny a little down the road and went in to relax a bit.
"I'll take a glass of milk." Cloukora said as he sat on the stool at the bar.
"ID please, so I know you're old enough to at least be in here." The bartender said.
Cloukora then showed him his passport.
"Alright then, here you go." The bartender said as he handed him his drink.
Everyone else was watching the football game on the T.V. Cloukora ignored it and began texting his mom he was going to be heading home. Before he sent it, the game was interrupted by a news broadcaster.
"We are sorry for interrupting your program but, there is a strange object in the sky. We believe it's a nuclear bomb. We advise for everyone to get to a safe location."
Everyone started getting worried and were very scared and panic was everywhere in the building.
"We now have word that we have actual footage of the location of the 'bomb'."
The object was a huge black sphere with about 15 people standing around it and weird shadowy creatures surrounding them with yellow eyes watching everywhere. Then one of them appeared right in front of the camera. He had a black coat with red clouds and had medium white hair that ran to his back and wielded a three-bladed scythe. "Tell the world that we have arrived and that we want the so-called-hero!" Then the screen went black as he swung his scythe.
Everyone started calling their families and talking to them some even crying. Before he could call his, his arm was pulled by a pink-haired girl. She dragged him outside behind the red-bricked building.
(o o)?
"First off, we're sorry for scaring you and making you think you're going insane because of us following you. The Fifth Hokage ordered it. The hero they're talking about, is you." Said the beautiful girl with bright green eyes who seemed to be about his age wearing a red top that covered her neck but did not go past her armpits and a zipper that curved down the front. There was a white circle located on the back of the top. Her hair barely touched her soft and smooth-looking shoulders. She wore light pink armbands on her elbows and extended about a ½ of a inch from each side of the elbow and black gloves . She also wore a black short leggings below a light pink skirt and a few inches away from meeting the black sandals that extended just about to the knees.
"What? How?" Cloukora asked.
"I don't know, the Fifth just 'saw' you as the next Hokage."
"Okay, what is the 'Hokage'?"
"The leader of the Hidden Leaf Village."
"So, what am I suppose to do then? I have no powers to fight them."
"Right, so I have to give you this." She said as she pulled out a necklace with a blade kind of like what he saw in his dream but a different design and smaller and connected to the chain.
"I saw something like that in a dream, what is it?"
"A Keyblade. This necklace will allow you to have practically unlimited chakra, use Keyblades, knowledge of every jutsu created up to this point, and will release your kekkei genkai. Oh, and with the necklace and your kekkei genkai activated you can teleport to our world. But, first, you must prove yourself worthy." She said with with a small smile, then gave the necklace to him.
"Okay, now I have quite a few questions. One is who are you?"
"Questions about your abilities will be answered when you put the necklace on, but as for my name, Sakura Haruno. I have to go now to help keep the city in order. After you put the necklace on then you'll know what to do. Oh, here's a ANBU cloak and mask if you don't want your identity revealed." She said as she pulled them out of her backpack with a smile and headed off.
Cloukora then put on the necklace and he felt a rush of power. He felt smarter. Lighter. Faster. Stronger. He knew what he had to do. He put on the long black cloak that hid his whole body. Then looked up at the sky and grinned while the sun shined on his eyes which had a three-triangle triangle symbol with a toma on each point and a star on each side. It was, the Onkeigan.
