Heaven, Earth and Void:
Description:
(First fanfic released to the public!)This is an uncontrolled crossover between Basilisk Kouga Ninpou Chou (Anime/Manga) and Dungeons and Dragons. This is about three characters: Yashamaru (Basilisk), Lilith Darkstep (D&D), and Felix(D&D), and how their story's intertwine. There aught to be plenty of Violence and Angst, and Maybe some romance.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yashamaru from Basilisk Kouga Ninpou Chou, and Dungeons and dragons has the Open license agreement so unless I make some money of this (LOL) than they cant really do much.
Chapter 001: Lilith Darkstep
All she could remember is fear and darkness... When the Nezumi attacked her family When they were traveling through the badlands, she had seen her father fall trying to drive them off. Of course the Nezumi were not just normal rats that could be driven off with a torch, they were bipedal intelligent creatures that inhabited this land and the merchant family was in their territory and ripe for the picking. Food was scarce in the badlands, being a swampland inhabited almost only of Nezumi and evil spirits. When the girl saw her mother go down a couple of the Rat people were already picking morsels off of her fathers still moving corpse. At this point she felt a horrible burning inside her body and believing that she was already dead, closed her eyes and waited.
While darkness surrounded he, all she could hear was the cries of triumph...Or were they screams of Pain and Terror? Eventually the cries died down and there was only silence... . . .
When she awoke, The young girl named Lilith found to her amazement that she was not dead, but a horrible scene was laid out about her: The remains of the Nezumi were scattered about in pieces no bigger than Lilith's forearm. Looking down, She realized that her clothes were in taters about her small frame, and her body was covered in blood of Human and Nezumi alike. Instead of dropping to her knees and crying, she just walked on towards her families original destination, knowing that some how, she was the cause of the massacre behind her...

Felix was born into a noble class of Shugenja and at a young age showed great affinity to the sword. His superiors and relatives saw this as a sign that he was going to be a well balanced man, but he proved to be quiet and preferred to spend his time developing his technique of "San-To-Do", the Three blade way, and proved to be neglectful of his duties as a Shugenja. His family was seen as a disgrace to the court by this and the other clans wanted this dark spot in the court removed, and hired Togakure ninja of the Iga region to remove the clan. Felix was the only one who proved any resistance to the Togakure ninja. Seeing as there was nothing left in the courts for him, Felix took his custom swords, Dragvandil, a magical Bastard sword, Hrotti, a twin bladed Katana, and Rek'ka, A blessed short sword, and left the life of higher class to find something to do with his life...

Yashamaru lived peacefully in a small village in the region on Iga with his father and mother as a farmer growing wheat. Yashamaru would often sneak off to spy on a nearby hidden village of Iga ninja as they trained, often being scolded by his parents for neglecting his work on the farm, but he knew that this rare of a privilege must not go ignored, so he came back often. He didn't know if they let him watch or they didn't realize that he was even there, but nothing ever came of it...
But than one day, on his way home, he had noticed that there were split-toed footprints pointing in the direction of his village from the ninja village. Rushing home, he found that the village laid in ruins, not burnt (as that would draw the attention of other villages) but cut and smashed down with not a single villager to be seen. With some searching, Yashamaru found the villagers near the villages Kami shrine. They were all decapitated and hung by their feet from trees. He realized that there was no reason he could see to have the Ninja attack his village, so they must have been renegade ninja on escape from the village he often spied on. From here he devised a plan to get revenge on his villages murders. First he was going to have to find out all the information about these renegade ninjas, than he needed to learn how to defeat them. There was little chance that he would be allowed into the clan he spied on, so he would need to get his skills and information from somewhere else...
P.S: I finally got around to fixing chapters 1 – 3 into chapter 1. Too bad no one has reviewed...I was hoping I would not have to ask...
