The Daughters of Cerberus
Three girls from modern Japan, known as 'The Daughters of Cerberus', have had a hard time with her life:
Yumi was abandoned at the age of six and was taken in by a homeless couple that mugged people for food. A cop shot them when she was ten and she worked at WacDonalds since then. With the money she earned, she was able to pay for schooling and took special martial arts classes at an academy. She inherited a blood red katana and three pairs of special claws (literally, claws. Like the ones from 'Catwoman') from the homeless man before he and his wife were killed and she is very skilled with it. Yumi lives with her best friends, Yuka and Kiki, and the three live a life filled with gangsters and guns. Yumi has grape colored eyes (light purple outlining the irises with blue filling the rest of the iris) and long, pigeon brown hair that is always tied in a high ponytail. She has light tan skin and wears a black, long sleeved shirt that her homeless 'mother' gave her when she was eight (which is in excellent shape) that used to go below her knees but now exposes two inches of her stomach and her belly button and is fitted perfectly. With this shirt she wears a white denim flip skirt (a pair of shorts with a flag of fabric over the top so it looks like a skirt). She wears white hiking shoes with white socks. Yumi always wears her katana on her back and wears the blue pair of claws that sparkle with dark blue glitter where the nails would be if the claws had nails. Each of the claws have a special sky pattern on them: the blue ones have ocean blue and sky blue blending together as a pattern and dark blue glitter where the nails would be. The red ones have a blood red and a sunset red blending together as a pattern with dark red glitter where the rails would be. The black ones have a pure black and a dark gray blending together as a pattern with black glitter where the nails would be. Yumi is pretty much emotionless, making her the cold head of Cerberus, but has a kind heart when she gets rid of her gangster cover.
Yuka and Kiki are… almost identical twins that also have had a tough life: their mother died giving birth to them and their father was killed in a car accident. Both girls have lived in an orphanage until they turned sixteen where they bought a house of their own and now share it with Yumi. Yuka has olive eyes (yellow outlining the irises with olive green filling the rest of the iris) and mid-back length black hair that is always in two plats and always has a rose clip in her hair. She and Kiki have light tan skin and wears a red, spaghetti strapped top with red jeans. She has red hiking shoes, wears black socks and, you guessed it, the red pair of claws that Yumi gave her. Yuka is very kind, even when she is in gangster mode. Yuka has a heart of gold, making her the kind head of Cerberus; she also bears the gift of telepathy and future sight. Kiki has sea green eyes (blue outlining the irises with see green filling the rest of the iris) and shoulder length black hair. Kiki wears a white shirt that is long sleeved and fits to her body with white jeans that are also fitting. Kiki wears black hiking shoes with black socks and wears the black pair of claws that Yumi gave her. Kiki is fierce at all times, making her the fierce head of Cerberus. Yuka and Kiki may have different colored eyes, different lengths of hair and different attitudes but their faces have the same structure and features.
These three girls are greatly feared in the gangster world: they are often referred to as 'The Daughters of Cerberus' because of their unusually pointy canines, their claws and their attitudes. The girls move to the U.S. and refuse to join the biggest gangster group in the whole of New York and end up getting shot… How did they end up in Feudal Japan? That was 500 years ago, right?
Prologue:
Darkness. Three unseen shadows waited in the darkness of the alleyway of 160 Central Park South, New York. The bright, white lights of New York City flickered on and the figures where exposed. All female, and all dangerous. A large group, almost seven times the size of the trio of femme fatal, emerged from the streets, loaded with guns and heavy weaponry. Numerous males from the large group wolf whistled as figures and faces of two from smaller group were lit by the streetlights. One of the femme fatal sneered in disgust whilst another gave them a rude finger. The remaining dangerous female in the shadows stepped forth and calmed the two at her sides,
"Ladies, we have no time for their games," She spoke with a calm and seductive voice. More men whistled at the girl in control as she turned to them, "So, what's your angle?" the whitened wonder addressed the male in charge as he stepped forward.
"Angle, eh? The angle… is that you three ladies join our pack." The black leather incased man remarked emotionlessly whilst the other men became slightly restless. The females remained their cool, the followers trying their hardest not to sneer at their behavior.
"What do we get out of this?" Kiki inquired, glaring into the eyes of the leather man with seriousness and warning. The leather man sneered and began towards the girls, gun in hand, swaying by his side. Yumi and Yuka locked their eyes onto the gun and drew their weapons as warning. The leather man heeded this warning and slid his gun into its case, closing in on Kiki. He came face to face with Kiki and smirked before leaning down to her ear,
"You get to have fun with us…" he stated, his hand slipping down to grope her. When his hand was centimeters away from her rear, she punching him in the jaw and kicked him to the ground; her foot firmly on her chest to hold him down. The sound of guns cocking echoed through the alley way and Kiki lifted her foot off the leather leader's chest. The girls smirked as he scrambled off the ground and held up one hand whilst the other held his own gun. "So… you refuse…"
"Pretty much. What'cha gonna do 'bout it?" Yuka questioned while the girls smirked, relaxing their postures and kept their judging eyes on the now pissed men.
"So be it…" with these three words, he lowered his hand and rounds of gunfire echoed through the alley. Smoke filled the alley and the men ceased fire. The smoke cleared to reveal… no bodies. The bodies just, disappeared… The men began complaining and questioning their disappearance until the leader silenced them. The quiet was disturbed by the sound of shoes climbing up a ladder. The men snaked through the back roads until they found Yumi and Kiki lifting Yuka onto the rooftop of a twenty-story building. The leader followed and the two gangs leapt from rooftop to rooftop, the large group loosing more and more members as they fell to the ground one by one. The Daughters of Cerberus halted when they had no more buildings to leap onto and turned around to find ten of the twenty-one men pursuing them. Yumi drew her katana and deflected numerous bullets that fired at them. Kiki drew her Sais and batted away more bullets. Yuka was about to draw her sword when a vision echoed through her mind: Yumi turned her head for a split second to yell at her for not drawing her weapon and she gets shot in the chest numerous times from a member of the opposing gang who was scaling the building from her right before falling to the ground below. Yumi was about to do just that when Yuka leapt to her side and took the shots for her. Yumi, being distracted, was shot as well in the chest, which, in turn, resulted in Kiki's distraction…
All three lost their lives that night. All of New York knew by the next morning, but what New York, and the rest of the world, didn't know was that the girls were dead in their own era… but were FAR from it in the feudal era.
