Chapter 1: Dreams of a six year old.

I was 6 years old at the time, when i had started to get these dreams. My imagination was always greater than the other kids at my elementary school, who only thought of princesses and the knights that would save them, or about shiny robots with lasers and other weapons.

My imagination came with anime, manga, and things of that sort. My knowledge of the world deepened as my feelings were influenced by the shows that I watched. Some made me cry, some made me laugh, and some made me giggle with excitement.

Life seemed to revolve around anime, but I never knew it was going to be as important as it was now. My adventure in the anime world began a while ago, and I never saw it coming...

My day had began normally. Woke up, went to school, listened to class and did normal fun activities as an elementary school student. I admit, I didn't have many friends, but I had a few very important friends that I known for a while now. I hadn't spent too much time with them because I was at a young age, but we were all very talkative, sometimes speaking over each other and maybe arguing occasionally on stupid things that we forgot moments later.

Soon, I got home, excitedly running to my computer. The computer was old and outdated. It was thick and pretty large. The internet was slow, but it was enough for me to be able to watch a old favorite of mine...one piece.

The show had started around the time I was born, but it was only recognized as a great anime a few years ago. Right now, I watched excitedly at the CP9 arc and giggled as Luffy, my favorite character fought.

My parents were rather worried about my obsession with anime at such an early age, but I didn't care. My brother backed me up on anime because he watched it a lot parents trusted my brother and he was like a figure of authority in the household, so I got the right to watch anime.

Dinner soon came and I reluctantly got off the computer, ate as quickly as possible and ran back to the computer. After hours of watching anime, night arrived.

I was told to sleep, so I went to my room and brushed my teeth. Afterwards I was tucked into bed and watched carefully as my parents left. Laying in bed for a good couple of minutes later, I was sure my parents were in their room, so I sneakily got up, left my room and tiptoed to the computer. Watching some more anime, another couple of hours passed.

It was late at night, around probably 11:00 p.m., when I had settled down to actually sleep. Turning my body to the window, I stared outside at the night sky. That night, the sky was unusually bright with stars twinkling in the distance. The window of my room was slightly open and cool spring wind blew into my room.

The air did not bother me too much, but I shivered none the less, reluctantly deciding to get up from my warm bed and close it quietly. Then I settled back into my bed, snuggling in my favorite blanket and resting my head on my soft plush pillow. It was a bit uncomfortable since the mattress underneath me was with bouncy springs that creaked loudly every time I moved, but I still fell asleep, feeling blissful in the soft covers.

Later that night I was woken up by a strange sound and a whoosh of cold wind, brushing my half-covered body and gently blowing my dark brown hair over my face. I scrunched up my nose as I rubbed my eyes and sat up from my bed.

My vision was blurry, But I could make out a black blur next to me. I rubbed them again and blinked. My vision cleared up, and my eyes grew wider. From the window, a man was standing there with black hair and playful dark red eyes.

A loud noise erupted from my mouth. Fear seeped into me as I looked at the man in front of me. I asked,"W-who are you?"

The man smiled at me. A dry and humorless smile that held no emotion and then he said, in a deep velvety smooth voice, "My name and identity are of no importance. I am simply your transporter. You have been chosen as the next heroine of the universes."

"Universes? Heroine?" I blinked as I got off my bed and got closer to the tall black-haired man who was standing next to my window. I bit my lip and my mouth was hanging open. My urge was to run away screaming, but I was enticed by the man in front of me. As I got closer I noticed he was pretty and he had beautiful eyes. During my short time as a anime lover, anime had taught me to expect the unexpected.

My fear soon subsided and what was left was curiosity. My eyes sparkled as I stared at him, feeling enticed by the magical and excited feeling in the pit of my stomach. "...then where did you come from? Am I dreaming?" I was curious. But that was natural since a strange man had just entered my room. The man's red and devilish eyes looked down at me, sending a tumble of chills down my spine.

"I come from the Otherside. And yes, In a way you are dreaming. The rest of the world is put into an inanimate state, while you are the only one that can see me and hear me"

I gasped again because I did not understand most of what he just said, but I nodded like I knew what was going on. "So I am dreaming...What are you here for? And how did you enter my room. I remember I closed the window...Ah...you're not a thief, right?"

His mouth curled up into an almost scary smile. "I am not a thief. I'm here to transport you to the Hall of Light.."

I noticed that he skipped my question about how he entered my room, but I decided that I was going to let it slip this time. "Transport me?" I asked.

A strange glint flashed in the man's red eyes and then I noticed how creepy those red orbs were. They looked like a cat's hungry eyes as they stared at their prey, ready to pounce at any given moment.

My heart beat erratically in my chest as I backed away from him. I didn't understand the events that were happening but I didn't want to be transported anywhere. I opened my mouth to call for my mother, or anyone who would help me, but he was quick and he had somehow snuck up behind me and covered my mouth with his large hands.

He whispered in my ear "Don't waste your breath. The world has stopped, they cannot hear you. Come with me to the Otherside, and I will transport you off to your first mission."

A drop of sweat dripped down my forehead and I tried to scream. The sound of my scream was muffled, but soon rose to a loud screeching sound as the tall dark haired man released me and sighed, "This is another reason why I hate humans."

He watched me as I screamed and leaned against my bed. His body didn't seem to leave a crease on the covers, nor did the bed creak like it usually did when weight was pressing against it.

With an annoyed expression, the man ran his fingers through his hair and muttered, "I honestly don't know why the higher-ups chose you of all people to become a heroine. You're a six-year-old! What can you do to help the universe?"

I stopped screaming and stared at him before what he just said hit me with full blast, "Help the universe? And what was the thing you talked about before...? The Otherside? What is that?"

He tilted his head to one side and stared at me, making me cringe. His eyes still scared me, but my curiosity and stubbornness prevailed, urging me to look at the rather attractive man. He said, "Yes, help the universe. And Otherside is a place. If you would stop screaming and asking questions, I might be able to tell you something useful, little girl."

I sent him a glare and crossed my arms, "S-shut up!" I tell him, jutting out my lower lip. "Well, what are you looking at!? Show me whatever it is you want to show me!"

He chuckled, "Alright, watch then."

The tall man in a dark suit stepped in the open space of my small room and he drew a red circle on the carpet of my room. I glared at him, "Hey this was a new carpet you just spoiled,"

He smirked, "Relax, little girl, it'll disappear after the incantation." I flashed him a menacing glare before he closed his eyes.

I just couldn't resist my hormones, and so I stared at his defined cheekbones, long eyelashes, hair that perfectly brushed his face and the tall form that he held. I fan-girled. He reminded me of that creepy handsome butler in Kuroshitsuji, something that my brother had shown me earlier in the day. Sebastian was his name right? Kuroshitsuji was just serialized as a manga months ago and my brother was already pretty obsessed with it. He always made me watch anime and read manga with him. This might've also explained why I'm so strange.

Then the man started chanting something strange, bringing me out of my rambling thoughts. He was muttering a strange language that I couldn't understand, but I knew it wasn't anything that I've ever heard before. Suddenly, the circle started to light up and words of a dead language appeared on the sides and then it suddenly flashed a red light around the entire room.

The red light temporarily blinded me and I fell back in surprise. I heard a throaty chuckle from the tall raven-haired man as the world around me turned red, and then a blinding white that damaged my retina , "Ah, first timers...they always get blinded on the first time they get transported."

I kept in mind to hit him once this was all over. Why didn't he warn me? I felt him grab my waist and heard him whisper, "Hold on tight."

Ha, as If I had a choice.

I heard a ripping sound and then a whoosh as he jumped into something dark and swirly. Then the world went black and I was suddenly unconscious.

I woke up with a startle and I sat up to look around me. The world was dark, empty, and...swirly. There was nothing here except for a few faraway lights. I wobbled as I got up from my sitting position, immediately feeling dizzy from the sudden movement. I guessed that I had been lying down for hours now because of my sore muscles.

Where was I? Was this a dream? The questions floated around my head as I looked around me. It was pretty dark. I wasn't scared of the dark. I actually felt pretty excited. This was just like a manga! Okay as a six-year-old I definitely loved manga and anime. I read and watched basically every manga and anime that was popular out there, mostly because of my older otaku brother. This scene was like the first episode of a shonen anime. Giggling loudly, I started walking towards a light as I sang a little song from an anime I knew.

In the middle of singing, a weird sound grabbed my attention. I quickly turned around as a bright screen appeared from thin air. "Woah, that's so cool!" I yelled as I ran in front of the screen and then a single word appeared.

Play.

I pressed the button on the screen and I waited. After a few moments, loud music boomed into my ear and I jumped and tumbled backwards. First I was like ,"Ow...what the-" And then my eyes opened wide as I realized that I recognized the song. "...A...N-N-naruto opening?" This was definitely strange. I drooled a little bit as I watched the rest of the opening and then the screen turned black. "Nooooo! Why?" I whined as I pounded on the screen, but then I stopped as the face of Kakashi appeared on my screen. The man was reading his infamous book of porn that he seemed to carry around everywhere. He seemed so concentrated on it that he didn't notice me.

"Yawn.."

I stared at him. This couldn't have been Kakashi...maybe it was a cosplayer...oh but he looked so real. I waited and watched every movement of the Kakashi "cosplayer" before he suddenly looked up from his manga book and grinned, "Oh our guest is finally awake." My mouth dropped open. He was expecting me? Again I had a fangasm. Kakashi was speaking to me...kakashi was speaking to me!!

It was sad that this was a dream. I almost fainted in all of my 6-year-old happiness before he spoke up. "I know you're confused about what just happened, but let me explain to-" He was cut off by a loud blonde haired man next to him,

"Hey...can you heeear me?"

Kakashi groaned and rubbed his temples and I gasped again. That couldn't be-it just couldn't have been-NARUTO HIMSELF? I started to scream as I fanned myself.

What? I loved manga.

Naruto moved the camera-view thing over to him as he scratched his chin and stared into the screen as he tapped the mic again. "Hello? Is this thing on?"

He tilted his head in a confused way as Kakashi face-palmed."Naruto...just leave. I'm trying to talk to the new heroine here."

He flashed Kakashi a foxy grin as he scratched his head. "Eh sorry Kakashi...I just wanted to say hi to the person that was going to save the fiction world."

"The fiction world?" I stared at the screen in disbelief...I wasn't really getting the situation here.

Kakashi gave me an apologetic grin before turning back to me. "Ah, that brings us back to the situation at hand. We fiction characters have chosen people who have an unbelievable amount of knowledge about the manga/anime world and who also has problem solving skills and imagination. You fit in that category perfectly, so we pinpointed exactly where you lived on the RealWorld, and kidnapp-I mean brought you back to the Otherside so that you can fix the growing problems in these fictional worlds that you people call manga/anime." He said it automatically, like he had practiced the speech a thousand times. My mouth again dropped open, and Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

I blushed as I closed my mouth again, "So that means the person that picked me up from my house is from...a manga?"

Kakashi gave me a smile (which I wouldn't have seen through his mask) and he bitterly said "Ah yes...that was Sebastian." As I heard this, I giggled. I was right from before.

Seconds later, I sobered up as new thought struck me, "Wait so how am I suppose to help these manga worlds?"

"Ah that's a bit complicated, so I'll let our smart Sakura explain this." I giggled again...Sakura, she was that pink haired girl who Naruto liked from before. The artist had mentioned that Sakura wasn't drawn cute, but I thought she was pretty cute...at least she looked better than the crappy stuff that I attempted to draw.

From outside of the screen's view, I heard a cute voice and then footsteps. Then Sakura appeared and she gave me a small smile, but then she whispered to Kakashi, "She's a bit...smaller than I imagined for a heroine."

"Hey! I heard that!" I yelled as I jumped up and down in anger, "Sheesh, and I was just going to compliment you on your hair...humph."

She gave me an apologetic smile as she sweat-dropped, "Sorry, Sorry, uh...thanks." Then she curled her hair with her finger thoughtfully. I examined her. Her hair was still long, so I guessed that she didn't go through the 2nd test for the Chunnin thingy. Her eyes were pretty big...and so was her forehead, but I guess she was pretty cute. "So...can you explain now?"

"Oh, Sorry!" She said, "I'm just not myself today. Uh let's see, When a manga/anime plot has a problem, we will freeze time over here in a sort of way...you know like when you were taken from your house a while ago, and then we will send in the hero/heroine to go in the plot and fix any problems."

"Fix problems in manga and anime? What the heck? What problems can the manga/anime get?" I asked curiously, everything sounded a bit farfetched to my mind.

"Ah, good question. Well a manga can get a lot of problems, like plot holes, main character deaths, and ratings. Plot holes are dangerous, we have to go back in time to fix it before it gets too big. For main character deaths...well we can't allow our main characters to die right? Unless they have to die."

I shivered here, that sounded so cruel. "Wait, then what about ratings?"

Sakura grinned at me, "If our world doesn't get good ratings, then we die, or our world stays in the same place for eternity. We are all figures of imagination from authors of your world. We survive on imagination. We have "heroines" to help keep the story going, get good ratings, and then lets the author get inspired to write more in our lives. It's cruel to know that life depends on a person's mind, but that's how we live. Of course, when the author declares the story finished, we can have a free will and live in the world that the author has created forever. Basically...the goal is to keep the story going until the end of the series and not let them drop it."

I gasped. That sounded terrible. The character's lives were...at risk. and I was sent to save them from their deaths. "...What is the world I am in now?"

She gave me a grin "This is the entrance. Where everything begins...where new characters are formed and they are walked down to the Hall of Light where they are transported to their chosen world. Of course, when you walk down, you will meet your transporter and you will be given a heroine's pass and that will allow you to pass through any world of anime/manga as you wish. You will also be assigned your first mission. Any more questions?"

I thought of anything that I missed. "...then what about Sebastian? Why was he sent to my room to pick me up? Why didn't you guys pick me up?"

"hehe, well we have several hero's around the world. Sebby-chan was chosen at random to be your transporter." I rose my eyebrows at "Sebby-chan" but I said nothing. Well I guess the world does have a need for young 6-year-olds asian girls...I grinned as I turned away from the floating screen, but then Sakura yelled at me to come back, "Wait, I need to tell you how to get back home."

I almost forgot about that, I turned my attention back to them, "When you're done with your mission, you will chant an incantation that summons Sebastian, and then he will send you back home and unfreeze your world. This process will happen every night...be ready for it." I grimaced. Every night...oh snap I was going to start to get gray hairs at an early age.

A piece of paper materialized next to me and I grabbed it. Then I opened it and read: Volo in domun redire.(1) Latin? That sentence was an incantation? I smothered a laugh as I put the paper in my pocket...at least I thought it was a pocket My hands slipped over smooth silk pajama pants...I was still wearing my PJ's!

I grumbled and whined as I started to walk to the white light on the other side of the Hall of Light. "...hehe, don't worry, your clothes will change automatically with the manga/anime so you won't feel out-of-place." Sakura called out as the screen was disappearing, "Good Luck...Joyce." I turned around to ask her how she knew my name, but the screen had already disappeared.

I sighed...everthing happened so quickly...one moment I was in bed snuggling in my warm blankets, another moment, I had just met anime people and was walking aimlessly in a dark place with light streaming out on one side of it. Gosh I was confused. My 6-year-old mind couldn't process what just happened...at least not yet.

Was this really a dream?

From the Naruto manga common room, Sakura hung up on the light-screen, and she grinned at the porn-reading Kakashi sitting on a nearby chair. He looked up from his book and frowned "Why didn't you tell her about not mentioning this to anybody else in her world?"

"Hehe, even if she told someone about this world, they wouldn't believe her. You should know that...out of experience of holding these heroine recruit video-chats for so many years." She replied, matter-of-factly.

"Heh, yeah It's been like how many years? 9 years? Hope she can keep our manga-world going for a while. I have high hopes for her." It was rare for Kakashi to say something like that, he never approved of any heroine over the past few years.

"You sound so sure of yourself." Sakura said while glancing at Naruto, who was sleeping and drooling on the floor of the common room.

"Yeah, because she has this aura..." Sakura looked at him strangely. "...Ah, nevermind." and he continued to read.

"...hm...where's Sasuke?"

Kakashi didn't answer. His porn manga was at its climax. In more ways than one.

I sighed as I walked over to the bright light at the end of the hall. I covered my eyes this time, knowing that I would again be blinded if I didn't cover them. My small sensitive ears picked up chattering, laughing and yelling. I opened up my eyes and I laughed at the scene unfolding in front of me. There were characters from different animes and manga everywhere! It was almost like an airport.

I looked around for Sebastian. Sakura had mentioned that Sebastian was going to meet me over here, so I looked around for the attractive man.

It was hard not to notice Sebastian standing casually with a dark long-coat snuggly fitted on his body. Well many of the people there were very attractive, but none were as attractive and dark as Sebastian. A smaller boy stood next to him, looking annoyed. OMG...was that Ciel? He was soooo cute with his eyepatch and boy-scout outfit! I ran over and I hid my fan-girlism, knowing that Ciel and Sebastian were turned off by crazy girls. Especially little ones.

"Hey, Sebastian, I'm ready for my mission." I said softly while giving them a little smile. Ciel smiled back and stuck out his hand, "Hello, Nice to meet you. I'm Ciel." I resisted the urge to hug him, knowing that his cute smiles were an act. I stuck out my hand. They were so soft. So big compared to my little small hand. I almost drooled, but that would've been extremely rude and creepy.

Then I noticed something. I was holding his hand way too long. I blushed as I pulled away. Sebastian hid a laugh as Ciel shot him a dirty glare, and wiped his hand on the side of his shirt. I grinned as I sweat-dropped. So much for a good impression on them. "Um, so what's my first mission," I said as I attempted to cover up the awkward moment. Sebastian turned to me and gave me a creepy, yet handsome smile, "I'll tell you later...when we get to the portal." I gulped I didn't like that. Ciel only laughed as he twirled around and followed Sebastian. He found my facial expressions very amusing.

I followed Sebastian as I walked through the "airport". "Um...I know I ask too many questions...but this is a lot like the airports from my world...is it designed like that on purpose?"

Sebastian grinned, "Yes, It is...This is actually a dark and empty world like the hallway you were in before, but an illusion has been put here to make it look like an airport, it makes the newbies feel more relaxed and comfortable. And it also makes it more convenient to find your destination. Ah! here we are at terminal 22..." I looked up at the sign. Terminal 22: One Piece world by Oda Eiichiro. I gulped down my excitement. My mission was in the one piece world. EEK! I was a major fan. When I get home and tell my brother about this, he was going to be so jealous!

I looked up at Sebastian. "So what do I do here?"

"Your mission is to save 2 characters. You will have a time traveler item with you so that you can save them both. One target is by the name of Fire Fist Ace...your next target is called Sabo. You have a max of 3 tries. Failing once or twice will only bring you back to where you started. If you fail all three, then the One Piece world is doomed." Then he grinned at me evilly. "No pressure."

I gulped, No pressure my ass. How could he say all of that and then just add, no pressure? ...oh gosh...I was going to fail this mission so badly. I gave a pout while Ciel grinned like a total snob. Then I turned to him and asked, "Why are you even here, Ciel? Sebastian's the only one that's suppose to be here."

"I'm here to see you fail your first mission." I glared at the cute, yet cruel boy and I swallowed...well nothing in particular. I was too nervous to have any saliva. I looked back at the terminal and then I sighed. "I don't want to do-" When I turned around, I noticed that the pair was already gone. Vanished into thin air. They had left me. And I had no way back. The only thing they had left, was a card.

The card looked like one of those credit cards my mom had in her purse. I picked it up. It read, "Heroine's Pass" with a picture of Monkey D. Luffy, Naruto, and Ichigo on it. I held it in my small hands, along with the incantation, since I didn't know where to put it.

I shook with fear.

I was normally fearless...but now I was so scared that this "dream" was going to keep on going. I shakily brought my pass up to a card swipe machine and I quickly swiped my card. A low humming was heard as it started to violently shake. I backed away from the spasming machine and I let out a little yelp. Suddenly I heard a ripping sound, and space itself ripped open and a dark flashing portal was before me. I clenched my fist and closed my eyes as I slowly entered the black hole, called "Terminal 22"

One piece world.

Rainbow lights streaked in my vision. I felt like I was falling. Well, they always said that those who "fall" during a dream were close to an alternate universe...well now I knew exactly what they meant. I was literally falling into an alternate universe. I screamed. No sound reached my ears. Well the colorful lights didn't have an atmosphere where sound can travel...so I obviously couldn't hear my voice...but I shook those thoughts away. I wasn't going to worry about stupid stuff like this. I was more worried about where I was going to land. Hopefully not in water. I couldn't swim.

My body suddenly shook violently and I felt like gagging. I sat up in a violent and quick motion, I glanced around my surroundings and I realized that I was at a beach shore. My back faintly throbbed with pain, and my head hurt. As I was rubbing my head, I noticed a kid my age with a scar...staring at me. I noticed a straw-hat, big eyes, soft-looking skin...I gasped.

"L-l-luffy?" I fan-girled and then I fainted...this time it wasn't because of pain.

(1) Means I wanna go home in latin.

Ah this is an old dream from when I was little. Err, it's more messed up though... Might not update this that much...but oh well. Ugh what category should I put this in? Oh I'll put it in One piece for now...
