DELUSION OF TIME

Resurrection

A DOA FanFic by Andre Martinez

Chapter 1

This is an old Fanfic I wrote along time ago during my junior year at school. Which was during the year 2004. The original title was Ninja Quest but I decided that the name was dull. I decided to rewrite this Fanfic with my current writing skill and no beta readers. I thought I'd revive an old story I made up along the way. But this time, I'm putting more detail and maturity in with the story. And no, I hate using way too many Dictionary words. I've been flamed before because I didn't use any dictionary words. Sometimes they're necessary, sometimes they're not. Also note that I am not writing this for DOA fanatics. I am writing this for my own satisfaction.


I've been training in the art of Ninjitsu for 6 years now. But what is very strange to me is that my sensei trains me personally instead of in a normal class. It's very rare that he has me train with the others. I guess he likes to show off what he taught me to the others for his own satisfaction. But really, my Sensei is the wisest, coolest, and one of the best friends you can ever have. Although of course his training is very difficult and requires a large amount of physical and mental discipline. I've gotten over it.

My Sensei has me doing the usual routines such as doing push ups over candles, practicing throwing shurikens, using stealth in a dark room with Ninja clothes on, learning how to use a Ninja short sword, etc. I really like being a Ninja. Gives me the feeling of power and being a sneaky bastard. I love it. Only thing I hate is the daily routine. My master also sits on my back while I do push ups over hot blazing candles. All of that usually changes when you start to feel that once in your life that not only you have a teacher, but a father figure too.

That day has come. Where one change in events changed my life forever. Even foreshadowed a little bit of what I am since I did suffer from Amnesia.

"Kitsune! Good morning my young student. Do you feel like taking on the world today?" My sensei came out in a good mood.

"Yeah sure Sensei." Of course I lied.

"Good good... You do know that today is special? For starters my young pupil, to this day your more then a student to me. Your like a son."

"Really Sensei?"

"Yes, I have taken care of you when you needed shelter, taught you everything I knew, and of course acted as a father to your behalf. But today I have a mission for you to accomplish."

"A mission?" I said with question.

"Yes, it's about my Granddaughter Kasumi. A young Kunoichi from the Ninja clan Mugen Tenshin. She is in a lot of trouble with her clan."

"Go on" I said looking interested in what he had to say.

"She's considered a Run away shinobi. Let me explain... A Run away shinobi is a Ninja who had betrayed his or her Clan. They hold secrets with them that cannot be shared with the world or other Ninja clans. If another Ninja were to capture Kasumi they'd be able to learn the secrets of the Mugen Tenshin style. Just by drawing blood."

"What happens if her clan catches her?"

"She suffers a horrible death."

"Don't even tell me their method. Hearing horrible is good enough to me. So tell me more if your able." I said.

"These Ninja are professionals. They've been doing this ever since childhood. You've only been training under my careful eye for six years. They're completely in shape, extremely strong, fast, and agile to the out most degree. You must be careful when you run into the Ninja who plan on taking Kasumi's life."

"So when I find Kasumi, where do I bring her?"

"I have a place in the city of Tokyo where they will never find her."

"I'm guessing it's underground."

"Not exactly. That's what a Ninja would think of since a Ninja doesn't have much time to search a city such as Tokyo."

"Yeah, your right about that. So, where do I start?"

"Yes yes... Follow me."

"Your giving me a Plane ticket?" I ask getting up.

"No. Much more quicker."

"And what is quicker? The teleportation method you taught me during training? That takes up a lot of Kiral energy away from my body."

"Yes, but you need your strength for this mission. Every single bit of it."

He leads me to a hidden room in the basement that I've never noticed before. Inside was a brown, very old looking mirror. The sensei throws the blanket that was covering the mirror and turns a hidden switch that not even I would be able to find. The mirror starts to pulsate and sends vibrations to the floor which started to make my teeth chatter. The mirror was no longer glass. It was a gray and white twirl going in a full circle which made a vibrating noise in the basement.

"I'm supposed to walk through this thing?" I pointed at the mirror.

"Yes, you have to walk through. You will find yourself in the depths of the woods where Kasumi has been hiding."

"Ummmm... To the looks of it sensei, it looks like as soon as I touch that thing, I'll be in pieces."

"Oh really?" The sensei laughs. "No such thing will happen! Do not worry. This will be your first teleportation experience. Just take a deep breath before you go in." He says with a big encouraging smile. The smile that always gets me to do stuff.

I take a big sigh. "Ok. I will do this for all the things you've done for me. Just to be able to pay back my dept to you."

"You don't need to mention your dept. You have none as far as I am concerned. Your just another talented young human being and I can trust you with my granddaughters good will. Just be careful. I am counting on you."

"Yes..." I take a deep breath. "Here I..." The sensei interrupts me.

"Oh wait Kitsune! I forgot to give you what a Ninja should never leave home without!" He took out another blanket hidden behind the junk in the basement room. He unwrapped what looked like a Katanna. The Katanna was in a beautiful sheath with gold trim on the side. Dragons lining up on the sheath with the dragon head all the way up to the guard. The blade was very sharp with Kanji embedded to the blade which I didn't know what it read. It was a real piece of art for such a dangerous weapon. "Take this with you as you will need it to fight the Ninja who will also try and kill you along side my granddaughter." He hands me the sword.

"This sword is... Beautiful..." I said speechless.

"Use it and swing the blade with heart. Just as I taught you. Do not forget my teachings."

"Yes master."

"And good luck my young pupil."

"Thank you Sensei." I take another deep breath knowing that this time, it's for real. So no bullshit. It's time to make a leap of faith. I jumped through hoping to whatever god was watching me would not let me get screwed during this teleportation thing. I twirl in another universe trying not to panic as I twirl what felt like space. I feel extremely disorientated as I twirled through the portal. Then I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel trying to maintain a speed to land on my feet without landing wrong on the surface.

I land on the ground, but on a hill. I slide down the hill trying to maintain balance as I hover down. A slew of rocks were right in my path. I front flipped over the rocks and land on my hands to do another flip to land on my feet. I take my time to catch my breath.

I look around me to see nothing but wilderness. I hear birds chirping, wind blowing the tree's wildly, and a nearby water fall. This was it, the test my sensei has been waiting to put me on. But the question is, am I truly ready?
