Chapter one: The matchmaker
The land of Japan was thought to be peaceful. Recently, a seal had been put on the land to keep its citizens safe from outside forces. Guards and spies were constantly on watch to be sure that the seal was never broken, and the strategy had worked for years.
However, on one cold, windy night, all that changed. A large, powerful force suddenly penetrated the seal and sent a wave of enemy akuma into Japan. The guards quickly lit the signals to warn everyone, but the man behind the attack didn't even flinch.
"Now all of Japan knows you're here!" a guard named shouted. The man before him just smirked.
"Perfect."
"Your Majesty, Emperor Komui!" a man in armor addressed as he knelt before his leader. "Akuma forces have invaded England at the North Border with Tykki Miki as their leader. We will quickly assemble our forces around your castle."
"No, General" Komui replied, standing, "send your troops to protect my people! Reever-kun!"
A man dressed in blue with a clipboard stepped out of the darkness. "Yes, Your Excellency?"
"Note this: I want to recruit as many men as possible for this war. I will not put my people in danger. General, I want you to assemble your strongest troops to fight at the front line."
"Your Majesty, I must insist otherwise!" The General argued. "I think my troops alone can stop them!"
"I will not take any chances, General," Komui replied. "A single grain of rice can tip the scale. One man may be the difference between victory and defeat."
In a quiet town on the outskirts of Japan, a young woman was sitting on her bed, writing a few notes on her arm and mumbling to herself over her rice breakfast.
"Quiet…patient…delicate…elegant…poised…respectful…polite...and…punctual!" A rooster let out its morning call. "Oh no!" the woman cried, scrambling out of bed. She blew on her arm to dry the ink while shouting,
"Timcampy! Timcampy!" She almost tripped over a small golom.
"Oh, there you are! Hee, who's the smartest little Golom in the whole wide world?" She giggled and opened up a can.
"Want to help me with my chores?" She tied a bag of chicken feed to the golom and let the flies in the can go. Timcampy floated along trying to get to the flies while tossing the seeds all over the place.
At the top of a hill in a small shrine, a single man kneeled before several carved stones. "Please, Honorable Ancestors," he murmured, "please let Allena impress the matchmaker today…please…" Timcampy and the chickens suddenly appeared inside the shrine covered in seeds. "…Please!" He slowly lifted his head and looked outside to see Allena running towards him.
"Big Brother, I brought your tea!" she sang happily, pouring the hot liquid into the cup.
"Remember what the doctor said: Three cups of tea in the morning and three at night."
"Allena, you should already be in town…"
"I know, I know, I'm on my way now. Wish me luck!" With that, Allena made her way into town.
Allen stared at the little golom covered in chicken feed. "I'm going to go…pray some more."
A young-looking blonde woman paced back and forth along the street. "come on Allena..." she growled. Allena ran towards her and shouted," Kei-chan!!"
Kei sighed and said," Took you long enough...come on!" she pushed Allena into the small house and Allena's 'torture' began.
After a few minutes of priming Allena was ready to meet the the matchmaker.
As she walked out towards the matchmaker's office, Allena whispered a prayer. "Ancestors, hear my plea: Help me not to make a fool of me and to not uproot my family tree. Keep my brother standing tall…"When she and the other girls made it to their destination, the matchmaker opened her doors and called Allena inside first.
Only moments later, Allena rushed out of the office, a very wet, very messy, and very angry matchmaker following her in a rage. "You are an absolute DISGRACE!" the woman shouted, throwing a teapot at Allena and her family. "You may look like a bride, but you will NEVER BRING YOUR FAMILY HONOR!!" She stomped back inside her office and slammed the doors shut. The other girls and townsfolk just shook their heads and sighed out of pity.
Allena wanted to cry by the time she got home. She walked back into the yard as she kept her face hidden from her brother. Allen frowned and leaned on his cane as he tried to comfort his wife, who ran up to him in tears.
Allena watched as her brother walked inside, and she looked at herself in the nearby pond. "Look at me…" she sobbed.
"I will never pass for a perfect bride or a perfect sister. I don't think I'm meant to play this part…" She slowly walked over the bridge and up to the ancestors' shrine.
"When will my reflection show who I am inside?" She quickly bowed to the stones and then walked down to sit near the pond. Eventually, her brother came over and sat down next to her.
"My," he sighed happily, looking at the cherry blossoms above them, "what beautiful blossoms we have this year…but look! This one's a bit late!" He pointed to a bud. "But I'll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of them all." He smiled at his sister, who smiled back.
Suddenly, drums pounded. Allen stood and opened the gates to see a group of Imperial guards come down the road on their horses. Soon all the families came out for the shocking news.
"Akuma forces have invaded Japan!" Reever shouted. "By order of the Emperor himself, one man from every family must serve in the Imperial Army!" Sasuke read the family names until he came to the one that Konan did not want to hear. "The Walker family!"
"No!" Allena cried, rushing into the crowd and blocking her brother's path. "Please, Sir, my brother is disabled and can't fight!"
"SILENCE!!" Reever shouted. "Allen Walker, you would be wise to teach your sister to hold her tongue in man's presence."
Allen glared at his sister. "Allena..."
That night, a strong storm was brewing, and the Walker family ate in silence. Allena sadly poured the tea for her brother. They both were quiet as food was passed around, but Allena couldn't stop her anger from surfacing. "You shouldn't have to go!" she screamed, throwing her teacup on the table and standing.
"There are plenty of young, strong men who can fight for Akatsuki!"
"It is an honor to protect my country and my family."
"So you'll die for honor?!"
Allen stood and came up to his sister's face. "I will die doing what's right. I KNOW MY PLACE. It is time you learned yours!"
Allena shook her head in disbelief and ran out into the storm. She ran to one of the stone statues in the garden and sobbed for hours.
At that moment, Allena made a decision. She ran up to the ancestors' shrine, lit the incense, and said a short prayer. She then ran inside the house and took the official scroll Reever had given her brother, replacing it with locket she shared with him. She opened his closet and took out his armor and his sword. Once she was in the next room, she unsheathed the sword and chopped off her long, black locks, tying up her short hair into a tight bun.
She then walked out and grabbed a horse then she got on as she slammed the gates open and rode off unknown that a small dragon was in the small bag on the saddle.
Kei was out and she saw Allena starting to head out then said softly as she walked towards her,"Allena...what are you doing?"
Allena turned to her and sighed then said," I'm taking Allen's place in the army"
"WHAT-" Allena covered her mouth and said," Shhh!!"
Kei pulled her hands away from her mouth then said," What are you thinking Allena?! You can't fight in the army!!"
"I don't care I'm saving my brother...and don't even think of stopping me" she started to saddle up then Kei smiled and said," I'm not stopping you i'm coming with you!"
Allena looked at her then sighed as she nodded. She got on the horse with Kei on the back of the same horse and cracked the reins then the horse rode of as fast as it could possiably go.
When she just left with Kei Allen suddenly woke up from the thunder and he saw her necklace and said," It can't be..."
He ran outside and saw the gates were open and shouted," ALLEEEEEEEENAAAAAA!!!!!"
