A Hero is someone who is willing to fight for someone else
A Hero is someone who is willing to fight for their homeland. No matter what the cost
A Hero is someone who is ready to hold the burden of other people's life on their shoulder
A Hero is someone who is willing and ready to offer their mind and body to the gods for the greater good.
The year is 298 Era of the Gods. Washio Sumi is sitting by the pool. Her body is wet by the water she pour on herself every morning. It's part of her training to become Yamato Nadeshiko. The birds are chirping happily as a breeze morning wind greet them on top of a pinus tree. A peaceful day.
"Sumi-sama, it's breakfast time." A maid in a suit told her as she gave her a white towel. Her voice is as neutral as usual.
"ah, yes." Sumi get up and grab that towel, "I will be there in a second." She said as she dried herself. Her long black hair is glistering under the morning light. Truly a Yamato Nadeshiko.
Her house is…big. Far bigger than a normal house. Her parents or rather her family, Washio Family, is held in a high esteem by the Taisha, her parents even have a small business aside from their works as member of Taisha. So it is not an exaggeration to call her house is a mansion. The mansion is 2 floored building with more than 12 room. It has its own front yard that can easily house several car. A backyard with small pool that she just used for her morning training.
As she arrive in the dining room she see that her parents is already there. She sits in the opposide side from them
"Good morning otou-sama, oka-sama" she chirped happily. Other than for breakfast, her parents is rarely home to eat together.
"Good morning, Sumi." Replied her father. He is a big man with a white hair. An aura of a respect surround him.
"Ara, Good morning Sumi" beside him is her mother. Alongside her father they must be around 40 years old or so. "do you have training again today ?" asked her mother.
"Ah yes. We have to meet at the training facility at 3 this evening." Sumi explained. "but, I'm kinda nervous. It's been a month since we start our training but its not really progresing."
"Sumi, performing your duty to Shinju-sama is not easy. There is a reason why shinju-sama choose you to carry out his means. As a member of taisha and as a member of Washio family. We have to do this. Your mother and I will always support you. But still if you feel overwhelmed feel free to talk to us. We will work something out."
Works as Taisha's priestess is not easy. Some people would think that as a priestess their job would be praying, meditating, clean the temple, or something along that line. However as Aki's job as a priestess is not as easy. She also need to train and support the protector of humanity. And the pressure from her peers and superior only made it worse. She know that this duty is of extreme importance to Taisha and by extension to humanity. But still. Is it okay to entrust this duty to a bunch of kids that is still in 6th grade? She know that only a pure maiden, and only a select few of them, is able to access the power of the divine. But why is it always a young girl that have to be the chosen?
Minowa Gin is tired. No. Minowa Gin is exhausted. Who knows that despite her cool aura and beauty aki-sensei is actually a very VERY strict trainer. Not that she mind. She know that the training is going to be hard. They are training to protect the world after all. Beside her. Washio-san is panting hard. She thought that using bow and arrow is less tiring then using dual axe the size of a chair. But it looks like the drawback of said bow is so massive that even an adult will have difficulties to pull the string. As expected from the weapons of the gods
What surprise Gin is sonoko-san. Even though she uses a spear almost twice as tall as herself, sonoko-san is the only one still standing. As expected from one of the Taisha's most prestigious family.
"that's it for today's training. Even though there is some places that can be improved. One, minowa-san," Gin tensed. "Out of all three of you, you have the strongest body and explosive force. However, you lack technique. As this team vanguard you are not expected to have a lot of it. But still, your rash movement could be a hindrance to your teammate." Scold aki-sensei.
Hearing "advice" from her teacher she only let out a simple 'yes'. She knows what her teacher is true but still it's hard to move around if your weapon is an AXE. That is TWICE your size, an there is TWO of them. Buy alas she can only nod as what her teacher was saying is true. If she didn't master the twin axe she will hinder her other teammates.
"Next is Washio-san." Aki-sensei look at sumi "out of 20 shot you hit 17 target, 1 near hit, and 2 miss. That is excellent." Hearing the praise of her teacher sumi let out a small smile "however-"her smile droped "the time you take between each shot is too long. In battle a 1 second difference can mean live and death. Please be aware of that."
"Yes. Thank you sensei" in her mind Sumi is renewing her spirit. As one of the heroes that protect her beloved country she cannot let such mistake hinder her. 'I will have to train more'.
"Last is Nogi-san." No response.
Apparently Nogi-san has fallen asleep.
"Nogi-san, wake up, its rude to fall asleep while someone is talking" said Sumi as she nudges Sonoko.
"Ah. Mom where are we?" asked Sonoko. Still half asleep.
"We are at Tasihas's training ground. And I'm not your mother"
"As always you are very rock huh, Nogi-san" added Gin.
"Please don't fall asleep while we are training Nogi-san" scold Aki-sensei. By her voice looks like she's irritated.
"sorry sensei" said Sonoko rather sheepishly.
"Ahem. As I was saying. Nogi-san you are this team forward, your weapon is the most versatile. That means you can either help minowa-san with offence, stay back and defend Washio-san. Or you can support both of them by alternating between offence and defence. Because of that your training will be significantly harder as you have to train on both your defence and offence. However. Based on the result of today's training I must say you have exceeded my expectation. Good job"
Hearing her teacher praise Sonoko smiled. "Yes, thank you very much sensei" she may not look like it but Sonoko actually put a lot of hard work to her training. It is after all her duty as one of the Nogi Family
"Everyone listen." Said Aki-sensei putting the attention on her again. "You three are our hope for the survival of humanity. Shinju-sama, the divine god that protect us, have chosen the three of you to uphold the duty of heroes. The battle ahead will be hard. One plus one plus one instead of three we must turn them into ten. We trust in you girls. Please protect Shinju-sama and the world" and with that their training today ends here.
While our heroes just finish their training. In one of the secret underground facilities built by taisha. The facilities is styled as a temple of some sort. In it is a stone pillar. Said object is decorated with a lot of Ofuda. Slowly but steadily a crack has been formed on it for years. But for the past couple of days the crack has been widening at an alarming rate. Some priest has been stationed there to oversee the artefact.
As the sun goes down the crack has widening and widening. The priests that stationed there is worried that the pillar will break soon. So, they call their supervisor. The archpriest himself. Hearing the news, the archpriest knew that the time has come. He asked Miyoshi Harunobu, also known as the keeper, to bring him the 'holy sword'.
When the archpriest arrive at the cave alongside Harunobu. The situation is… calm. Too calm. They go in to the temple to see the condition of the pillar. And as they feared the pillar is at the brink of breaking. As they get close into the pillar. The 'holy sword' has been emitting some kind of aura. As if it want to be unsheathed.
After reaching two meter from the pillars they stopped. The aura that the 'holy sword' emitting is so powerful that they can feel the heat from the blade's cloth.
Harunobu open the wrapped sword. On his hand is a weapon that was used by Nogi Wakaba the saviour of mankind and the first hero. The sword is called Ikutachi. It's a 'holy sword' that has been used to defeat countless vertex and saved thousands of lives.
As the sword is unsheathed the crack on the pillar is getting bigger and wider until.
BOOM. It breaks with an explosion. The shockwave is strong enough that it throw them into the wall droping the sword.
In place of the pillar is a man. No. a Boy. Not older than 12 or something. His body is full of scars. His tight aye is flashing some kind of blue flare.
noticing the sword in the floor. The boy start to smile. "I see that you have taken care of my weapon. Thank you." said the boy.
As he grab the handle. The sword start to change colour. Its edge is now black and red lining began to appear along the hilt. It looks nothing like the Ikutachi that the great hero Nogi Wakaba used. The boy turn his attention to the two priest and grin.
He walks towards them with the sword in his hand.
Harunobu start to sweat from fear. It's not like the boy in front of him is physically scary. More like the presence he emit is… sharp. like when you see knife that has been sharpened and you know instantly that you will bleed just by touching it's edge. The flare on his right eye is not helping either.
Harunobu see to his left. The archpriest has started to pray to shinju-sama he know from his voice that the archpriest is desperate for help from their great god.
as harunobu too start praying to shinju-sama. The boy stop and point his blade at him. What he said next woll change his faith to the gods forever
"The gods is paedophiles and I will kill them for that."
Authors Note
Greetings everyone. My name is shuramahaken.
This is my first attempt at writing story. So… what do you think ?
I'm sure there is a lot of mistake be it grammatical or anything else. so if you spot anything like that could you please tell me? I will fix that mistake ASAP
So anyway. This story will revolve around our favourite hero club. I will start with the beginning of WaSuYu then make my way toward YuYuYu, YuYuYu 2nd season, then YuYuYui.
As you noticed there is a boy in this story. Mainly one OC and 2 other relative of the heroes that do exist in the canon but doesn't really make and appearance in the anime, game, or light novel.
Regarding romance. This story will NOT really have romance in it. Maybe some SonokoxSumi or YuunaxTougou or any other mainstream pairing. I still don't know if I could add the boys to this equation or not. Any ideas ?
Anyway that's it from me.
All suggestion, question, critic, flame, advice, ideas, are welcome.
See you later and take of yourselves
