((A/N:3 Dark and angsty! Whoot! X3 this was surprisingly fun to write(I totally didn't think the really, really dark chapter would be so fun, maybe I'm just sadistic) lol, so anywho, be prepared for mega, super duper, crossover goodness!!
That's right! There are…(goes off to count) fourteen different Anime's in this fic:3 maybe more if I decide to make the extra's from different anime's as well XD
And here is the list! These are all awesome Anime/Manga's so if you don't know one you should check it out ASAP!!
-DragonBall z
-Sailor Moon
-NARUTO
-Dragon Knights(manga)
-Rurouni Kenshin(manga)
-Digimon Tamers
-Tsubasa
-InuYasha
-Fruits Basket(manga)
-Tokyo Mew Mew
-Shaman King(manga)
-Princess Tutu
-Esclaflawne
-Eureka Seven(manga)
(BTW, where it says 'manga' it either means there's only a manga or that that's where I'm getting my info, meaning yes, in my lil Ruro Ken world that doctor has no granddaughters.)
Now don't misunderstand, this will not be entire cast of Inuyasha meets entire cast of Naruto, I'm picking about one or two characters from each Anime/Manga. Also, everyone(excluding the character in this chapter) is present time Tokyo.
Hear that? Present time, AU, TOKYO!
This is all AU! Not a single, bloody canon thing about it! AU, AU, AU! ALTERNATE UNIVERSE!
Get it? Got it? Good. :3
Now that that's settled…
There are three sections to this fic
-Introduction
-Adventure
-Finale
Fairly simple, ne? Good! Now that all of this is clear(and if it isn't just send a review with questions) I will begin the fic:3
-Muse-chan out!))
Within Rain
Introduction
Prologue
'If I were to ask for help… would my hero come?' it was silent, no one would reply to the misplaced thought.
She sighed before letting out a long bitter laugh; no one would hear her cries for help. No one. She was alone.
Trapped.
The walls seemed endlessly high, it was always cold, the stones would never stop being hard. There were no windows.
It was like being a princess locked up in a tower. Only she was on the bottom of the tower with the only exit being at the top. It was ironic, really, even if she could scale the ridiculously high walls she would surely die on the way down.
Die… it wasn't exactly an unpleasant thought but she knew it was less than possible here. There was nothing but the stone walls and herself. She was hardly clothed even.
Sure, she could bite off her own tongue and yes, she tried, many, many times but for some reasons her teeth were never quite sharp enough.
Sure, she could bash her head against the walls and she did… but the concussion was never enough to kill her.
Sure, she could refuse to eat, she'd tried that… but, considering they only fed her roughly every two-weeks it was hard to resist to hard when they force fed her.
Who were 'they'?
To this day, even after years of confinement, she did not know.
Why was she even here?
That was another fact that she hadn't been informed.
Before she was here, those were sometimes thoughts that kept her going. The thoughts of fresh air, food regularly, her mothers warm embrace…
…but of course these thoughts always led to her mother's untimely demise.
She would always,always remember her mother's last words.
"If I had not had that child… maybe I wouldn't do this… oh darling, how could I spawn such a monster?"
Oh yes, her last words before hanging herself.
Her last words that she sincerely thought she was saying to her husband.
Her dead husband.
Another cackle of despair leaked through her lips. She supposed, the reason she was here had something to do with her mothers suicide.
She heard a pitter-patter against the walls and knew it was raining. Only seconds later some of it spilled through the single hole in the roof and onto the dank dungeon floor.
She stared blankly at it, knowing that tonight would be even more unpleasant than normal but not caring when the prospect of water came to her. Almost diving for the spilling water she attempted to drink as much as she could.
Why did she try?
It was sometime before her thirst was quenched, even a little, and she couldn't help but lay back onto the puddle, despite her now damp clothes(she was sure they would get damp regardless of what she did).
"If I were to wish for a hero…" her voice was hoarse, "No… a band of hero's. A fellowship. A team…" she didn't resist the tears stinging her eyes at the prospect of making another impossible wish, "If I were to wish for it… and they were to come… I would do anything."
"If you ever need help, just chant this rhyme."
How many times had she chanted the rhyme in this prison? Surely hundreds of times at least.
"With my blood, I summon thee. With my bone, I make you real. With my love, I grant you a wish… if you hear me, wherever you may be…"
It wasn't much of a rhyme, perhaps that's why it never worked. Or maybe it was because of how dark it sounded; it probably scared away any hero that heard it.
She scoffed; some hero. Getting scared away by a child's rhyme.
"If it rains in your mind right now as well, could you come and just keep me company for a brief moment in time?"
((Ending Notes: Like? Hate? Too vague? –sigh- I know this could be better but hey, it isn't.
A cookie to the first person to correctly guess who this is(it's impossible to, she's totally AU)!
-Muse-chan just a lil antsy about the fic.))
