Prologue
The Cold Beginning
~Kana's view~
I never had a home, at least not one that I could remember. Then again before the age of 11 all I can remember was darkness and constant pain, it felt like I was being tortured by electricity and fire when in all actuality , there was nothing but darkness. When I came to I only knew a few things, my name, my age, my sword, and that I was dying. The thing I didn't understand was...how? I had no visible cuts or bruises, nor could I feel any, it didn't even hurt. It just felt like my life was draining, and the only thing that scared me was I didn't understand why. All I could do was lay there and hope the end would hurry, but the next thing I heard were footsteps.
~Everyone's view~
He was following the strange aura he felt of in the middle of the woods. He had taken the time to stop and get food when he noticed it. While it didn't feel all that hostile it was strong, So naturally he had to check it out. When he got there he saw the body of a young girl about his sons age. She had short black hair that nearly covered her eyes, black clothes that looked loose for fighting in, and a black sword nearly her height. He also noticed one other thing. She was losing her life energy, and fast.
~Kana's view~
The man stopped above me. He seemed to notice what was happening to me because his eyes were wide with shock. He quickly dropped his bag and kneeled down next to me. "Can you hear me?' he asked. I was nervous of this new person but I was in no position to be picky about who might help me. So I just nodded my head."Oh good, but your quickly running out of nen. Can you control it?" I looked at him confused.
"What's nen and how would I know how to control it?"I asked weakly.
"How can u have all this aura and not feel it"
"I feel... something, its leaving me but I don't know what it is."
"Well here, Imagine your life energy flowing around you, coming out of your body then flowing all around your body in a perfect outline."As I did what he told me I felt this warm mucus like substance all around me, my hands, my feet, my face, it was all around me. I noticed one other major difference. I no longer felt like I was dying. I sat up."What did u do" I asked.
"I did nothing what happened was you controlling your aura and saving yourself from death."
"You seem to know about this "nen", can you teach me about it?"He looked at me like he was screaming no you stupid girl, I have things to do, but After a few seconds of staring he let out a long sigh.
"Yeah. Sure Kid. Im Ging Freecss"
"Kana"
"Alright kid, go get some sleep."He didn't have to tell me again. I went to lie down and asleep before my eyes closed.
After I awoke the next day he started teaching me and he taught me all the basics of nen. There were the basic nen skills. They went as such: Ten, keeping the flow of my aura around me so it doesn't leak away. Zetsu, stopping my aura around me all together, normally used for stealth... My favorite. Ren, I can produce more aura around me by using my ten to make it stronger. and Hatsu, basically it's my special ability with nen.
After learning that, I had to learn what category my nen fell under once again there were many of these. After learning them I did the nen test. By channeling my aura into a glass of water with a leaf on it we would figure out what I am, If the water were to over flow then I would be an enhancer. if the taste would change then a transmuter, but my glass disappeared. This meant I had special skills that didn't fall under the normal categories. I am a specialist.
After we figured that out, he started training me, Running and strength training. But to his astonishment I was already very strong. I didn't remember being like this at all but I could lift boulders and other heavy things with ease. When he made me run I never seemed to run out of stamina and my footsteps were quiet as could be. I couldn't even hear them. After he gave up trying to train my body he started to train me in my nen. and he was surprised once again that I already was able to use all the basic techniques but there was one thing he was curious about.
"Why don't you ever put down that sword?" I shrugged, guess I'm not much of a talker. "Ok then, why is it that your aura always covers your sword too?"This time I stopped looking at my sword to look up at him.
"My aura is around my sword too? I guess I've always felt that it was a part of me, but I don't remember anything past yesterday anyways."His eyes grew wide at that.
"YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING?!"I jumped up and looked at him after his little scream, my Sword ready and heart beating out of my chest. After a few seconds I regained composure and shook my head.
"I woke up here yesterday losing all my aura till you came by, I don't remember my past or really anything but my first name, my age, and the fact that my sword has always been with me."He sat there for a second thinking over what I said.
"You don't remember this place or anything?" I shook my head."Hmm, and you have no idea how u were leaking your aura?" I shook my head again. "Then maybe you were teleported by some strange nen, jump starting your nen, but I have no clue why you lost your memories."
After that we started looking at my Hatsu."While normally specialists have only one Hatsu I think you might be different. Based on your water test i would assume you can teleport things and that I sometimes see odd things in your nen I would assume u can create things as well." Now that sounded cool.
"What can I create?"
"I don't know, Why not try?" I nodded at him and looked away into a spot in the forest currently unoccupied by anything other than air and grass and focused. I don't know what I expected but what I got was a floating blue circle with some sort of writing in it. But it wasn't just over where I was focusing but all around me there were different circles in different sizes creating a box around me, well almost a box. But the weirdest part was when I wanted to go touch the floating one I instantly teleported to it instead. I slowly tried to figure out how I could use these and started to slowly descend with my circles until I was once again on the ground.
"Wow, those seem useful. Now I only wonder what else they can do, here come back over here and let me try something."I turned around and walked back to Ging. "Now put up one of those blue circles in between us." Once again I did as he said. I set up a single blue circle in between us when. WHACK! I jumped back in surprise. This man had just punched my circle and... it stopped it. "Ok now once again with nen" WHACK! My circle took the hit and I got a little woozy from trying to keep it up. Upon taking the hit my circle got brighter and shattered to the ground. One thing I know for sure was this man was strong. The proof was in the wind, it felt like a jet had just flown by me at max speed and also the ground around him was now just a crater barren and empty of life. He just looked at me and grinned. I shuddered. Was that even his full power?
"That's some ability you have there, It seems that the circles are breakable under enough pressure but even then they still block and absorb all damage thrown into them, interesting. I believe you can come up with some interesting uses with those that don't just involve defense."
"Like what?"
"That's for you to figure out, I've helped you enough."
The next day we were together and the last he told me a few things before leaving "Your special, you should already know that. You have more starting aura than most anyone I know, but that does not mean that you are the strongest. I'm going to be leaving today and nothing's going to stop me. I have things that I must do and I'm already three days behind, But as your teacher I have one task for you. Come find me again. It won't be easy but if you do I will tell you more about that sword of yours. I've seen it before somewhere, as to how you have it, I have a guess for that as well. Train and take your hunter test, you will be able to take it next year and my son will be there. He will also be looking for me. I wish you luck. See ya later... Kana"
Then he left, just like that. So I started to train for a year. Waiting for the time to find him again. I must know more about this sword, the sword that's bound to me, the sword that's a part of me, the one sword I can never leave behind. The sword that is kana.
A/N
Thank you all for reading my story, I'm not sure if I'm going to keep updating this story but depending on how I feel and the reactions I get from it I might just start updating it, I've had many different ideas on it but I'm not sure which path I would take on the story though. I guess it will happen if it does. But anyways please rate the story for me and leave a comment on what you think, and I'm sorry for any misspellings or if the story just didn't feel right to you. Please let me know if there's anything I can do better and let me know if I should continue this story. Thanks all
UPDATE
It was sad when I reread this again at how many times I messed up on this. Im sorry to all who read this and wanted to cry at all the times I used u and ur instead of you and your. Im not the best writer but It got to me so I had to fix it especially since I specifically tried to not make that mistake. That and in this update to this I changed a few things, nothing huge but minor detail added where there was none in some places and made her Hatsu not unbreakable. If your still wondering why she's still so strong and think that its stupid then I will say her powers will be somewhat explained soon enough. I still don't know when or how long chapters will be so I cant really explain when it will be revealed but I do have a plan for her.
My biggest problem is trying to figure out how she reacts to the other characters so far but I do want to give this story a shot so I'm going for it even if it turns out to be crap and embarrassing.
Anyways, I love you all and thank you for reading
