Codenamed: Shinigami
Summary: You've seen Sena as a girl or Sena growing up different or both. Now, see her, yes her, in this WHOLE NEW TWIST! "So starts the difference of what should have been to what it could have been…" Just please try reading it… OOCness
Important! MUST READ!
Warning: This fanfic stretches the boundary of being farfetched! Hell, this will sound AU-ish even, because of Magic and involvement of the Mythical, Supernatural and Paranormal! And most of all I am somewhat clueless on American football so I'm basing my knowledge on it on the manga/anime, ok? Anyways, Eyeshield21 already sounds like it's stretched from reality and truth even if it's not and the facts are real. Just going to make it stretch as far as possible...
Prologue
"Anezaki Mamori-san desho?" a small petite brunette girl with her hair in a braid until the middle of the back startled the elder girl.
"H-hai… What is it…?" Mamori's voice fades away as she looks straight in the eyes of the younger girl.
"Fate had deemed us to meet but circumstances have changed of how we should have met. Our destinies are intertwined with many more but 'tis not the time to know of them yet for the time is drawing near, do you understand?" The little girl said quietly
"I don't understand but…" came the hesitant reply of the 3rd grader. "I think I understand, as well."
"Good, then will you please be my friend then?" The little girl finally smiled, in that cute but knowing way Mamori was sure only she would ever be capable to pull off.
"Alright, you already know my name, so what's yours?" Mamori asks.
"Sena, Kobayakawa Sena." Sena brightly smiled at her new friend.
"Call me Mamori-nee-chan then Sena-chan." Mamori grinned at the younger girl.
"Hai!" Sena smiled brightly now that she has a new sister
2 years later…
"Mamo-nee… A new boy will come and he shall be our friend, from there on our destiny begins." Sena, now a 4th grader said to her sworn sister.
"Oh? What will be his name? What's going to happen?" Mamori already used to her predictions anticipated the answer.
Over the past 2 years, she had heard and seen what Sena predicted. One thing was for sure everything she said was accurate. Sena had explained to her that her line was a direct descendant of Abe no Seimei by his youngest grandson that he named as his heir, Abe no Masahiro (1), the very powerful onmyouji a few eras before the old eras ended. Though Sena's family had always been coverts in their way of life, they had never used their powers to cheat what they do.
"Kaitani Riku will be in my class for a few months and shall leave once more. He will teach me a valuable skill that will be needed in the near future, that is all I can say." Sena said still looking forward while walking and also holding out a small box which Mamori greedily opened.
"Yum… Sena-chan you're a genius! Not even Kiriya's cream puffs are THIS good. But back to the topic, sounds interesting. Does this have any connection to our destiny that you told me about when we first met?" Mamori said as she snacked on the home made, personally made cream puffs of Sena.
"Thank you Mamo-nee, and yes this is it, the start of a different adventure of a lifetime." Sena's eyes shining as she smiled happily.
"Oh? Oops! I almost forgot. Are you still playing gopher?" Mamori asked the little girl.
"Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I've drawn the line on them making me bring their bags home." Sena said still eyes shining happily.
"Mou, I don't understand you… You know how to fight back and it just shows it whenever you draw the line." Mamori pouted.
Sena just laughed in her knowing way. "It is needed for my destiny. You'll see. The bullies are becoming really frustrated now. Sooner or later what I've been waiting for will finally happen!"
"Oh alright…"
Fast forward to the arrival of Riku to their school…
"Shut up Sena, you WILL bring our bags back to our homes or else we're going to be beating you black and blue." Said a big bully to Sena.
"B-but this is too heavy." The little girl tried to answer.
"Don't care…" said one of the boys.
And so starts the whirlwind called teaching Sena how to run…
Fast forward to Riku leaving…
"Bye Sena-chan, remember your promise!" Riku said as he boarded the truck.
As the truck started Sena ran beside it as long as she could.
"I will! So you too, and don't forget me!" The little girl shouted, her eyes tearing up.
"Atarimae da!" and that's where Sena stopped running.
"It will be 8 years before we see each other again but I will wait Kaitani Riku, future ace running back of the Seibu Wild Gunmans" Sena said to herself quietly.
"So starts the difference of what should have been to what it could have been…" Sena says in a cryptic way before turning back and walking to a different direction from her house.
A boy and a girl, twins from the look of it, were playing tag by the side walk and were having fun. Sena watched carefully waiting for the moment she needed to come out of her hiding spot. Suddenly two black cars came zooming to their place and stopped on a dime. Out came men holding knives, bats and broken pipes.
"Well kids, sorry for us hurting/killing you but your parents are going to pay quite dearly for testifying against our boss." The thugs said brandishing their weapons in what they thought was scary.
The thugs just laughed as their scaring the kids attempt worked. Sena came out of her hiding spot and spoke up.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…" the thugs turned around to look at the young girl.
"Well little pretty if you want to help your widdle fwiends feel free to get beaten up too or better yet come with us, we'll show you a good time…" The thug leered at Sena.
When all of a sudden one of the cars went up in flames, in their surprise the thugs just stared at the flaming car dumbly. Sena used this time to get to the two other children and pulled them out of the way.
"Touda, scare them off!" Sena shouted at the invisible Shikigami that her family employed, since Abe no Seimei.
The other car went up in flames as well, the thugs ever dumb as they were still stayed in place.
"You two, let's hurry those cars are going to blow up at anytime now." Sena said to the boy and girl that looked at her in awe.
"Hai!" the two replied immediately and ran for it as the two cars exploded killing the thugs.
"Wow! You were so cool!" The boy said enthusiastically.
"Uh-huh!" The girl agreeing with what the boy said.
"Thank you, Shinonome-chan, Higure-kun (2)." Sena said happily.
"Eh? How did you know our names?" Higure, the boy, asked.
"I'm psychic; I saw the future so I knew that I had to come here. You see, you two weren't supposed to live through that, but I knew if I saved you two, something great will come my way." Sena said in her smiling all-knowing voice with her all-knowing smile as well.
"Wow! But… how can we trust you?" The girl asked wary.
"Then I'll tell you that you know that in another dimension, your brothers Itachi and Sasuke are ninjas in a place called Konohagakure, one of them namely Itachi was ordered to act as a deserter and your other brother namely Sasuke is currently staying in Konoha loyal to his fiancée, am I right?" Sena said once more in her 'oracle' voice. (3)
"T-that's true… How did you know that? We never told anybody about that! Only we know that ourselves." Higure stuttered.
"Do you believe me now?" Sena asked.
"Hai, we do now!" The siblings answered.
"Takahisa Shinonome-chan and Takahisa Higure-kun also known as Uchiha Shinonome and Uchiha Higure, aka the Takahisa/Uchiha twins, in a far away dimension, will you two accept my hand of friendship and to trust me to lead you to a destiny full of excitement? Well as much as this world can dish out that is…" Sena said stretching out her hands to the two.
The twins had a twin moment, having a mental conversation.
(A/N: "This is both Shinonome and Higure, at the same time"
Then this is creepy twin speak just like the twins in HP, Gred and Foerge. If you don't know that I suggest you catch up to modern times 'cause poor Madame JK. Rowling poured her heart out for the whole world to see… I'm rambling, aren't I? (Author sweatdrops …)
"This is Shinonome."
"This is Higure.")
"We do not accept your hand of friendship." The twins said in twin speak.
Sena looked stricken as she was sure they would become friends.
"Instead please accept us as your deshi, your pupils." Shinonome answered her.
"Yes, we can see that we'll make it far as friends with you but following you as disciples will take us even further." Higure said adding his two cents as well.
"The Advance Sharingan of the Uchiha twins might not be available to us here"
"But some of its traits passed through the worlds and we have it"
"To be able to distinguish lies,"
"Movement Prediction,"
"Momentary Foresight"
"And finally, soul gauges." (4)
"I see… Well then I accept you as my pupils but you also have to be my friends from now on. But are you sure about this? We're of the same age." Sena said to the twins.
"Hai, shishou! Age doesn't matter, your our master now! Um what was your name again?" Shinonome asked.
"Sena, Kobayakawa Sena. So, from now on you two will be known as the 'Twilight Twins'" Sena said like a proud teacher. (Uh… Moody much?)
"Hai!"
Scene Break
Kurotsuki Shugoshin (5) was walking through town minding his own. Just thinking about things. His family owned a temple on the outskirts of Deimon. His family's tradition was to name the 1st born son Shugoshin meaning 'guardian deity'. His family was said to be the protectors of Amaterasu-sama for when the moon was not seen, when it is said that Susanoo is up to his old tricks once more. Amaterasu-sama was more than powerful enough to stop Susanoo but the Sun Goddess had many to do so the mischievousness of her brother was dealt by his family. Shugoshin had never encountered such situations before neither did his ancestors for the last few generations.
Though he never had proof of the ancient God's existence he always had believed in them. His family also had its own fighting style, his ancestors having had encountered demons before learned to fight hand-to-hand and fighting with weapons. Proofs of battles of his ancestors with demons lay within the vaults of his family's temples. Yes, temples. Even if it wasn't the 1st born son any children of his family built their own, including their daughters who after taking the name of their husbands taught them the belief of their family. This custom stopped 300 years ago but even then their family had over 30 family temples in the whole of Japan. Though it's been hundreds of years the families that are housed within the temples had strong contacts with each other even after all the centuries.
Now, back to the topic he firmly believed the existence of Gods, demons/Youkai and other things connected to the Supernatural and paranormal. Though there's one thing that he actually always gets excited for, signs of the continuing lineage of the greatest Onmyouji, Abe no Seimei. Hell, if he can find a lineage through his successor, Abe no Masahiro he would die happily. Sadly, none of his close and "extended" family had news concerning the Abe line.
He was still walking when he was thinking of those things and Bang! Thump!
Shugoshin fell unto his ass as he walked right into an electrical pole.
"Stupid pole… Why the hell did you have to be there?" Shugoshin muttered to himself as he rubbed his forehead and sat still.
"Ah well…" Before he can finish his sentence someone else ended it for him.
"Stupidity Rules, right?" a girl who looked the same age as him was holding out her hand to help him up, he accepted the helping hand and stood up.
"Yeah, how did you know I was going to say that, anyways? Not many people think like that." Shugoshin asked the very beautiful girl. Looking at her carefully, there was a mesmerizing quality about her, almost ethereal like.
"Well its true isn't it? Not that Stupidity Rules like it rules the world, but just the rules of stupidity but then again Stupidity Rules get it?" the girl said, ignoring the slack jaw of the boy.
"Wow, there're very few that think that way. Hell, I thought I was the only one!" Shugoshin says excitedly.
The girl grins. "Ah, well as expected of me of course. As a direct descendant of Abe no Seimei through his heir Masahiro, I should be quite good at thinking outside the box. Don't you think?"
Shugoshin's jaw fell to the floor as he heard the girl's declaration of her lineage.
"Please close your mouth flies will fly in." The girl says giggling.
"Oh My Gods! Really! You're a descendant of Abe no Seimei-sama?! Even more so by his successor, Abe no Masahiro-sama?!" Shugoshin asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes I am."
"B-but how can I believe you? You could just be pulling my leg!" Shugoshin asked
"Well, how about this, then… Touda, Suzaku, Seiryuu, Byakko and Genbu come out!" The girl shouted out. Immediately 4 figures just materialized out of thin air. They were of heavenly beings seeing the floating cloths on Touda.
"Incredible!"
The girl just nodded to them and dismissed them by hand. The five deities just bowed and disappeared.
"What's your name then? And could you come with me to my family's temple? Seimei-sama was of close connection to my family centuries ago. We've been trying to find his bloodlines for generations! And are you an onmyouji too? And-and…" before Shugoshin could continue the girl held up her hand in sign for him to stop for now.
"Of course I would love to go to your family grounds to talk, Kurotsuki Shugoshin." The girl said smiling.
"Yay! Wai-wait h-how did you know my full name?" Shugoshin hesitated.
"All will be explained once we get to your family grounds."
"Uh sure! Oh wait, I have a call." Shugoshin answered his phone. (6)
"Hey Tatsuki!" "Eh? You and Akira are going to sleepover at Akira's house and you're inviting me? Sorry man can't. Got something more important right now. See you guys on Monday ok?" Shugoshin shut his cell as the girl just looked at him.
"Ah sorry about that, it was just my friends saying they'll have a sleepover study session at one of their houses, saying their out to buy some snacks right now."
"I see…" The girl muttered to herself looking at the horizon as if trying to see something.
"Shall we proceed to your family grounds?" She asked Shugoshin as she looked back at him.
"Sure! My dad will be ecstatic to hear a descendant still exists! Oh yeah, you still haven't told me your name yet."
"Sena, Kobayakawa Sena."
"Alright Sena-chan let's hurry then, it's starting to get dark."
As they arrived at the temple grounds, it was true his father was ecstatic. She was led to the living room where they sat having tea with Shugoshin's parents
"Shugoshin-kun did you know that we weren't meant to meet? That fate declared you as just another face in the crowd to me?" Sena said looking straight into the eyes of Shugoshin.
"I-I don't understand, then why did we meet?"
"Don't you think it was a little too coincidental that we met today? That I was there when you fell down after walking into an electrical pole? That you are here instead in a convenience store with you friends buying snacks for a sleepover study session?"
"Now, that you mention it, yes. Yes indeed it was too much of a coincidence."
"Shugoshin-san do you perhaps have a sand table?" (7) She asked the father.
"Why yes, in fact we do. Is there any need for it?"
"Yes, I need to show it to Shugoshin-kun what I meant that we weren't supposed to meet."
"Alright it's just right here I'll go get it." The elder Shugoshin stood up and opened the many drawers in the room and put the sand table on the low table putting aside the tea.
"Now, Shugoshin-kun, do you know how to do this?" she asked the younger one Shugoshin.
"Yes." They placed their right hands on either side of the sand table and like a taut string in a Chinese string piano she snapped something in the middle of the sand table. A wimpy and delicate line appeared on the sand.
"Impossible, a string that determines two people that aren't supposed to even meet in a crowd and yet here we are facing each other!" the elder Shugoshin stared at the girl in wonder.
"A line was crossed when I decided to change what should have been and what could have been in a near future." She said to them.
"Your cellphone should ring at approximately right… now." As she said now his cellphone started ringing. He picked it up and answered.
"Oh God, Shugoshin, yokatta! Tatsuki and Akira are dead! The convenience store they were in had a gas leak and the whole place exploded a few minutes ago. I heard they were going to invite you so I called you first to see if you were alright."
"I see… I'll call you later for any updates then… Um… Yeah, I'll see you at their funeral…" the younger Shugoshin just closed his phone and looked at Sena.
"Do it again."
"As you wish."
Clearing up the sand and repeating the same process a different result came. A thick and taut silhouette of a string appeared.
"This is the path I've chosen, to save you. For you can be of great help to a destiny that will lead to greatness." She said in a calm voice.
"Choosing to save just even one life instead of letting all three of you to perish in that fire will bring spite to me; karma shall deal me horrible cards thrice before the end of the journey of a lifetime ends, for I've saved 3 lives a pair of twins and you in my own selfishness. You three were meant to die but I came to make sure that you had lived. I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your friends but this is all I can do." Sena said in a sad but calm voice. Shugoshin just cried, for the death of his friends, for the fact that he lived when he could've died with them, and for the fact that Sena will be punished for she interfered with fate. Sena just gathered the boy into her arms, the boy sobbing even more as he clutched the girl's clothing and continued to cry. Shouting to the high heavens and to the Gods why fate had to be so cruel.
"Fate is a cruel mistress, Shugoshin-kun. That's why I was given this ability, to free a few of this world from her miserable hold."
Shugoshin stopped crying and shook out of his reverie and just stared at Sena puffy eyed.
"I am within your debt Sena-sama. From now on 'til I breath my last breathe, I will serve you as my ancestors also did with yours. Although my family acts as the guardians of Amaterasu-sama, it is the living vassals that we have appointed ourselves to protect (8). Though we choose to protect the living vassals of the Gods, we choose who we protect and serve, a choice that my family must never regret."
"I'm sorry Shugoshin-kun, that I be so selfish as to chase after your loyalty in the same time killing your friends." Sena said unbreakingly while her eyes shone of unshed tears.
"No, you have said it yourself Sena-sama you were given the ability by the Gods but for every good deed ensuing karma shall chase you. I will follow you to the ends of the earth to make sure that you come through each trial safely." Shugoshin stated with conviction as he bowed to her in a classic servant to master bow.
"Thank you Shugoshin-kun. Please sit up, though I am of higher blood status and that your bloodline had always served us that connection has long ago faded. We are on equal grounds now; I firmly believe this belief, do not object." Sena said with still the same calm voice.
"Then I shall not object but my actions will speak for itself then, Sena-sama."
"I know. There is much to talk about I shall inform my parents I shan't be going home for today and am staying here, they understand my situation." Sena said as she stood up.
After the phone call…
"Our world is fading Shugoshin-kun and Shugoshin-san. We are being forgotten by the world, as science progresses they forget how we built this world in belief. I come here to your son, Shugoshin-san for I will need his strength in a near future. In a modern battlefield, where only your belief, experience, practice and determination will bring victory. The foundation of the whole of society, of modern civilization." Sena said to the father and son duo.
"I understand, our ancestors have long predicted this and so I'll let my son free of the holding our family hold over him to succeed the bloodline."
"Thank you and I'm sorry for breaking such a long tradition."
"It is alright Sena-sama. It is time for us to break free off the holding of the past upon us."
"You have my eternal gratitude, Shugoshin-kun."
"From now on, I live to serve and aide you, Sena-sama."
"Thank you."
Scene Break and Time Skip 3 Years until Sena is in junior high or middle school 1st year
"Sena-chan, you'll be a big sister soon!" Mihae said her currently only daughter.
"Really? But how? I didn't see that coming in my predictions!"
"Even WE make mistakes Sena-chan."
"It's time, Shiyuma."
"I'm sorry Kobayakawa-san, the twins are stillborns."
"Why? They were innocent. They shouldn't have been mixed up in my faults… Why? Oh mom, I'm SO sorry. It's my fault; all of this is my fault…" Sena sobbing into her mother's chest.
"Sena-chan, what you did for Shinonome-chan, Higure-kun and Shugoshin-kun was a great thing. But some things have a price. We don't blame you. You are not to blame for this…" Mihae said to her beloved daughter.
"The Gods are cruel and sadistic. They always have been. They have laughed at the pain of mortals for far too long to change. It doesn't matter that they favor you. But know this Sena-chan; we love you more than anything in this world or the next." Shiyuma said to his dearest daughter.
Sena was walking out of a store alone, carrying 4 bags of groceries with her. As she walked through that cold winter afternoon three men approached her, leering at her as they neared.
Sena stopped walking wary of the oncoming men.
"Hey there beautiful, what you say you go with us, huh?" said the 'leader' of the group. A really fugly (A/N: Found this somewhere on the net means fcking ugly.) guy with a bonnet on his head. The guy looked about 18 years old. His two comrades (read: goons) were just drooling and standing there like idiots.
"Shame on you guys hitting on a 13 year old like me." Sena replied.
Lucky for her three guys who were at least semi noble and gentlemanly saw what was happening and went to a police officer who was near by and told him of what was happening.
The police came running, shouting while waving his baton scaring away the three thugs.
"You should thank these three, Oujo-chan. They saw and told me what was happening." The officer pointed to three boys that looked about her age.
"Arigato na, Juumonji Kazuki-kun, Kuroki Kouji-kun soshite Toganou Shouzo-kun." Sena bowed to the three which surprised them that she knew their names.
"H-how the hell did you know our names, girl?" Juumonji asked.
"Even if I tell you guys you wouldn't believe me anyways…" Sena said to the three.
"Try us."
"Oh dear, where did that kind policeman went off to?" Sena said offhandedly looking around for the policeman that just vanished. The three boys noticed this as well and were somewhat freaked out.
"The hell did that cop went off to?!" Kuroki freaked.
Sena just smiled her mysterious smile that spoke of knowledge.
The three just looked at her.
"What happened wasn't real was it?" Toganou asked her.
"Maybe…"
"Alright what and who are you?" Juumonji
"Me? Just a local psychic and the name's Kobayakawa Sena desu!" Sena just answered cheerfully.
"What do you want with us? Somehow I've got a feeling what happened was NOT a coincidence." Toganou asked her. They felt that the girl was different they just couldn't tell how.
"It wasn't. There's no such thing as coincidences." Sena answered in a way that they were sure only this girl could pull off.
"You three are wasting your talents. You can be greater than this, you're meant for something bigger. Isn't it that you're always called trash? Heck, Juumonji-kun even your father calls you one." The girl continued.
"But Kobayakawa-san what the hell can we do about it. I mean fighting's what we're all good for. The fighting sports just don't cut it." Toganou said with a little bit of disappointment in his voice. It was obvious to Sena that the three would love to get their skills recognized in a good way but couldn't find it.
"We're only good for brawls not those strict fighting styles. Sure Kazu-chan could probably be good at martial arts since he's one for techniques and discipline but for us two it just doesn't add up." Kuroki added his two cents.
"True, true but once you've honed what skills you have now things will change for the better in a later date. Continue on with what you do and until the time is right we'll see each other again. Mata ane! *" said Sena as a large gust of wind just went through them. The future Hah-hah brothers just shut their eyes as the chilling wind was stinging their eyes even with Toganou's glasses.
When the wind died down Sena was gone with the wind in place of her in the snow was an envelope.
Kuroki picked it up and opened it and pulled out a letter, which Toganou took off his friends hands and started reading.
'Dear new friends,
I know that it must have been a surprise that I would suddenly disappear like that but I guess you guys won't be THAT surprised ne? You three are smart enough to know I'm not exactly your run off the mill psychic and that I MIGHT have some plans for you. (Toganou-kun, please keep reading manga. You can learn a lot of things from it; some of it can be great and useful tips for life.) Know that we'll definitely see each other again somewhere down the road. Until then keep up what your doing and you'll be just fine. Don't be surprised when you see notes like this at times. I like giving free advice.
With Love,
Kobayakawa Sena, onmyouji and descendant of Abe no Seimei through Abe no Masahiro, his grandson and heir.
PS: Don't change what you do now and don't let my advices be hindrances of what YOU, not anyone else's thoughts on what is right.'
Time Skip until she enters Deimon…
CRASH!
Ambulances blared and Sena just sat on the curb on the street watching as the paramedics get the car off her parents, take her father away to the hospital and her mother being zipped up in a black body bag.
She just stared ahead with empty eyes, eyes that were once so full of life now dead.
Days passed Shiyuma hadn't woken up yet as it was he was in a coma. The day had already come for her mother's funeral and still she hadn't cried. As her mother's body was consumed by flames tears ran down her cheeks and this time Shugoshin was the one to catch her, to be the shoulder she could cry on and to assure her that it would be alright even if no matter how much he knew that it was just an exercise of futility on his part.
Come and gone was her mother's burial and yet her father had yet to wake up. Juumonji, Kuroki and Toganou heard of her mother's death and offered their shoulders for her to lean on. She had and with a smile told them that she'll be okay.
"The Gods are cruel and sadistic, they always have been. Though they favor me now, they'll make sure I suffer." Sena said as she stared at the stars.
"Sena-shishou…" Shinonome just murmured while Higure held her.
"Karma shall deal me horrible cards thrice. This is the second one, the one I shall lose last will hurt the most, probably." Sena said with a soft look in her eyes. Mamori gathered her in her arms and just held her as tears ran down Sena's cheeks as her anguish showed itself even beneath her I'm-fine-now-no-need-to-worry-over-me mask.
"I'll keep falling and stumbling because of my selfishness and I probably deserve it." She said as her voice becomes thick with tears.
"You're wrong, Sena-sama." Shugoshin said to her.
"Yeah, Megane* is right Sena-chan. What you did was right. You've saved a lot of other people a lot of heartache when you saved Shi-Hi* twins and Megane." Juumonji said as he and Kuroki and Toganou watched Sena break little by little as the days passed by.
"We'll always be there for you, no matter what decision you make. You might have a power comparable to a God's omniscience but you're still human and you don't' know everything." Touda said as he watched with warm eyes at the girl who was so much like his Masahiro of hundred of years ago.
"Thank you." Sena said with a beautiful light in her eyes that spoke of wisdom, hurt and despair. And yet her eyes contained so much hope.
Shiyuma never woke up and his body deteriorated. The doctors said that Shiyuma was almost brain dead but they did not lost hope.
Sena had moved in to Shugoshin's temple and worked off her part by doing chores, exorcisms and blessings. She was happy and she knew that though it will be hard for her, she knew that her father was to be reunited with her mother.
As Sena's final year in junior high ended, the doctor's announced Shiyuma to be brain dead. It would be Sena's call to pull the plug. They might've been separated by the world of Morpheus, the Greek God of Sleep that's why it hurts that she was the one who will ultimately kill him.
Within her dreams her parents were there for her talking to her and telling her things would be alright. They keep saying they were happy for her for she found wonderful friends. She never wanted to wake up and not see her parents but she knew she had to, if not for her parents then for her ownself and her friends. Each day passed in excruciating pain but she persevered for she had friends and a pseudo family in them.
She knew it was the right thing to do and she did, she asked the doctor to end her father's pain and that night she screamed and cried until her voice was raw and she had no more tears to cry. the Shikigami, Shugoshin Shinonome, Higure, Mamori, Juumonji, Kuroki and Toganou watched as she blamed the Gods and herself for everything that happened.
They stayed awake with her through the night and caught her when she finally stopped and just comforted her.
It hurt for them to watch her like that but they knew they had to be strong if not for her, for themselves 'cause whenever she's hurt they hurt as well.
"The third and final card has been dealt; promise me that you'll stay with me now that our paths have been paved." Sena said to all of them, her eyes puffy and red from all her crying.
"We'll never leave now, Sena-chan. Through thick and thin we'll stay and support you." Juumonji said.
"I forgot, what was your number again, Sena-chan?" Mamori asked.
"21." Sena said.
"Could you help us find ours as well, Mamo-chan?" Toganou said as he was still engrossed in the latest Shounen Jump.
"Sure, your number and anyone else?" Mamori asked in their ragtag group.
"51, 52, 53." Juumonji said as he looked around for a certain blonde that Sena and subsequently Mamori warned them about.
"42, 43, 83." Shugoshin said as he fixed his glasses on his face looking at the board trying to find their numbers while Shinonome and Higure argued who was treating Sena that day for their celebration. (9)
"Hmm… Looks like you all got in. Good job everyone!" Mamori said to them.
"Congra… I'll just go over to the office and get your student manuals then, wait here." Mamori didn't finish congratulating them but turned around and ran off.
"She was about to cry wasn't she?" Kuroki asked in a dry voice.
"Yup, she was." Sena answered.
"Sena-shishou, I just felt a tingle in my spine… I think he's here." Higure said as he suspiciously looked around.
"Omedetou!" Shugoshin was then thrown up into the air by a lanky pointed eared blonde and a giant chestnut?!
"He actually looks like a chestnut don't you think?" Shinonome whispered to them. But then they were all them also thrown into the air and congratulated.
When they all finally got their bearing when set down the blonde then presented them a phone.
"Call your parents to tell them that you…" The blonde didn't manage to end his sentence when his phone was snatched out of his hand.
"Don't bother with it, Hiruma-san. We'll meet you on the start of the school year and we'll talk then." Sena said as Mamori approached with the promised student manuals.
"Hiruma-kun, they'll talk to you in the start of the semester, please be patient 'til then." Mamori said as she led them away for a tour in the school.
"Don't worry, we'll join and we'll show our skills by then." Sena said to Hiruma with her back to him but had her head turned to him.
"Ja!" Shugoshin said as they finally left.
"Hiruma, what was that about?" The giant chestnut asked his partner.
"I don't know, Kurita. I really don't know." Hiruma said as his eyes narrowed.
(1)Shounen Onmyouji, an anime about Abe no Seimei's, a real onmyouji, heir Masahiro as he learns to become a better onmyouji and be better than his grandfather.
(2)My OC characters from my other fanfiction, Play Pretend, a Naruto fanfiction. Shinonome and Higure are Itachi and Sasuke's younger twin siblings. They look like their brothers at least Higure does but Shinonome actually looks like a female version of a younger Sasuke.
(3)She knows because she knows. That's the main reason she chose to save Shinonome and Higure. Yeah and the Oracle voice thingy is like her voice becomes somewhat dreamy, if you know Harry Potter then she sounds like Luna Lovegood.
(4)Gauging a soul if their predominantly dark or light. Like say Hiruma, he has a white soul with a thin dark outer ring. Meaning his intentions are light but the way he does things aren't really right. Or like say Agon, his soul is predominantly dark with a small light center.
(5)OC of mine. If Shin looks like Bruce Lee then Shugoshin looks like Jet Li though he has eyeglasses. And he has a similar condition with Monta, though different. Shugoshin has a shooting/passing ability like a computer programmed to aim and shoot but his catching just plain sucks. Throw it to the left he'll go for the right to catch it. Hell, he can't catch a ball going straight at him.
(6)By Grade 3 a lot of kids in at least private schools here in my country has a cellphone already. And Shugoshin's like Grade 8 or something and that's like only Grade 6 to us.
(7)If you've watched XXXHolic, you'll slightly understand, but if you haven't then I'll explain. It's a table of sand that you put your right arms on either side and in the middle, the psychic in the room pulls an invisible string that connects all life and snaps it like a guitar or more like a Chinese piano, a string piano. And in the sand a imprint shows the connection of the two's fates. The wimpier and thinner the line is, the more likely that the two shouldn't have met and the thicker and tauter the imprint the more it says that you're going to know each other for a LONG, LONG time.
(8)I used Japanese mythology and legends to support this. Notice that there is a SLIGHT reference to Inuyasha.
(9)This is my hint on their positions.
(10)Shinonome is power and speed. She gets easily into fights on the streets and she specializes in kalaripayit and capoeira. Higure is technique and speed. He is calm and specializes in shaolin kungfu and kempo. Shugoshin is power and technique. He is spontaneous and changes moods easily though mostly calm and he specializes in grapple style martial arts and his own family's fighting style.
*mata ane- see you later
*Megane-Eyeglasses the Hah hah brother's are refering to Shugoshin.
*Shi-Hi- are what the Hah hah brother's like to call the twin unlike their official title given by Sena which is the Twilight twins.
