Rika Tylore: Hi, dear Readers! This is my very first published fanfic ever in this site!

Tama: Yeah! All of this time, Rika - chan made fanfics only for her & keep it in her computer. So if you find this, you are very lucky indeed.

Suzaku: It's kind of idiotic to keep trashes documents in the computer; it'll only decrease the computer's memory capaci- Arrgh! *hit by a shoe*

Rika Tylore: Listen to me, I made those unpublished fics because I feel it all just for my own satisfaction & aren't good enough to be published. And since I thought they are quite interesting to be continued, I keep it for my own sake. Understand? *death glare*

Suzaku: Y- Yes! Shikamaru was right, women ARE scary...

Tama: By the way, why did you make this fic contains supernatural?

Rika Tylore: As a reader for all these times, I read many of Naruto fan fictions. Exception for crossovers there's no new taste besides action or romance (no offense) in the Naruto fan fictions itself. So I think up of this fic, by the way Readers... I warn you about parodies. And if you complained about it, I've warned you...

Suzaku: Who cares about parodies in fanfics? People in fact love parodying things, not to mention Ha*a Ken**ro, Ha**te no G*to**'s mangaka. Hey, why did I get censored?

Rika Tylore: It's just testing for my little brother's performance where I act as the background music, special effects, visual effect, & censor service organizer, next time you can talk freely.

Tama: Good! It's the disclaiming time...

"RIKA TYLORE DOESN'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS

OR THE STUFFS MENTIONED IN PARODIES.

HOWEVER SHE OWNS THE OCs & SOME OF THE PLOT THAT

ISN'T FROM THE MANGA OR THE ANIME"

All: Enjoy the story & don't forget to review!

Konoha no Mizu no Ryuu

Chapter 1:

Arrival of The Child

"Don't be afraid of being tricked... The world is upon the illusion..."

~ Tite Kubo ~

"Yujin! Come on, we're almost there!" a 13 year - old girl with a stiff short jet - black hair calls her younger brother. One her neck hangs a tear drop shaped pendant & 2 swords in 2 bags held on her back hanging by her shoulders; a wooden sword & a real sword. As a cold wind blows, she covers some of her face with a maroon scarf circled on her neck also pulling her white lined black jacket to cover her chest. There's a letter "T" attached to the jacket at the left chest part.

"Slow down will you, Onee - chan? I'm freezing here..." Yuji walks slowly to her sister. He wrapped his arms around his body, covering a long sleeve navy blouse while his neck is covered by a black striped blue scarf. His jet - back hair looks wet blow by the cool breeze of early spring.

"Wait, you didn't even wear jacket or something?"

"You told me to hurry up, so I end up only wearing this blouse! Well, at least the sleeves are long enough..."

Feeling guilty, she puts off her jacket, covering Yuji with it, "Sorry I hurried you up. I was kind of in the rush back there, but I hope it will keep you warm." She smiles lightly to his younger brother.

"H - Hey! You need this or you'll be freezing, Onee - chan!"

"Seriously, you're the one who's freezing here. Don't worry about me I'll be just fine, okay?"

"... Okay..."

"Great! Come on, we have a train to catch!" the older sister continues her way followed by the younger brother.

Okazaki Tamaki & Yuji, that's the name of the siblings. Today's Tama's final training before the region -wide kendo tournament this year. She bet some of her friends who are chosen to be the school's representative & who became the supporters are waiting for her - the kendo club captain. Tama & Yuji were born to a former samurai clan back in Edo period. She is the 100th heir of the clan, the position that offered from his grandfather for his father but rejected. A well trained sword master, the club instructor chose her as the captain after an exam.

As a genius of a tomboy, she became the Student Council President of Saiyuki Gakuen as well as the Class President for her capability in leadership & because of her best grades (top scorer in entrance exam). Her face - despite sometimes looks cruel & strict - is actually cute when she smiles or in every good mood (ignored by her). She gains her popularity because of that, also because of her expert in all things, intelligence, cool manner, maturity, & her role as the school defender from bullies. Yes, before she came to Saiyuki, bullying the biggest threat to the students. With her ferocious strength, she may send a big muscular guy to air with a single fist of "Justice Will".

Even though her life seems to be perfect, she regrets one thing in every important sequence of their life. Her parents never attend any of those sequences. They are too busy with their job, always travelling away, & never spending times with their very own children. They left both of them as caretakers of the house since they were young. The world is just cruel for not letting them together with their parents.

As they walk pass the Shibuya Bridge, she looks longingly at the river. She stares at her own reflection, together with the other people's reflection. There's a reflection on the water that nobody but her can see it.

"Hey, Toki." she greets the spirit.

"Good morning Tama, I just want to see how you're doing."

"I'm fine as usual, you want to come along?"

"I'd like to, after all it's my job to accompany you."

Toki is her brotherly guardian spirit requested by her grandmother to take care of her. Since she was born, Tama is able to see supernatural beings that passed down from her grandmother who comes from a spirit master family. Tama herself is a spirit mistress in training & the child of prophecy. It's said that a child with deep black hair & eyes born with a great power in her soul will attract many spirits; whether it's good or evil. With this, it's almost like she's a hidden child prodigy.

"Onee - chan, Toki - san is here?"

"Yep, he's right beside you."

"Morning, Toki - san." greeted Yuji, but he got the wrong side.

"Yujin, he's on the right not left." Unlike her sister, Yuji can only hear & feel supernatural beings instead of seeing it. Though Toki confirmed that there's something that blocked his vision, but nobody knows what it is.

"Aw, man! I sounded like an idiot that I talked to nobody!"

Toki smiles to the boy, "That's okay, Yuji. I'm here..."

Yuji turns his head & looks at where he thinks Toki's face is, "I wish I could see you from the first place if there's nothing that blocks my visions..."

With an emphatic face, the spirit pats the boy's head to encourage him. Yuji gives a little smile as reaction.

I wish I knew what blocked his visions. It just doesn't seem fair at all. thought Tama as a caring sister.

After a moment, the sky suddenly turns grey & starts raining. A while after it all started, everyone's motion including Yuji's & Toki's stops, much to Tama's surprise. When she takes a sight on the water, everyone's reflection gone & it's only hers that left. Her reflection itself has turned into a grown woman with a dark brunette hair & blue eyes plus Tama's signature 2 spikes of hair on the right. The reflection stretches her arm out of the water & it startles Tama when her arm also stretches to reach the woman. She tried to resist but she can't, as if something controls her arm.

Her pendant shines along with the river as she finally gets a grab of the woman's hand. It's like something pushing her to the water when she tries to pull her hand from the woman. Slipped, Tama finally falls to the river. She tries to reach the surface but no avail, the force that pulls her is to strong. She starts to lose her consciousness.

The river... Why the hell is it so deep? I shouldn't be this deep; there are no heavy rains these days! And everything stops since the rain... Has the rain stopped the time? How the hell could it be possible? There's also no sign... of the fox wedding... that the rain started suddenly... The girl... Who is she? Tama's mind is really full of questions while she feels everything around her slowly turns darker.

Suddenly a light casts to her face, waking her up from unconscious condition. Seeing that there's a hope, she tries to reach the light with all of her strength. No matter how hard the water pressure is, she depends herself on her strong feet & swims as fast as she can. She makes a fist through the surface as she made it there.

"Darn finally! Now I'll just have to cl -," she looks around her, it's definitely not Shibuya or somewhere around Tokyo, or even somewhere in Japan. "Where the hellam I?" She identifies the place, it looks like ancient Japan. Then again there's no such thing as skyscrapers in ancient Japan, right? Maybe it's the Meiji Restoration period; she recalls what she learnt from the History class & what she read from the book owned by one of her twin cousins, Okazaki Shiro. But when she looks at the people who walk through the bridge above her, she changes her mind. Nobody wears tank top & jeans or even casual t - shirts in Meiji Restoration!

Where am I? Why do I feel familiar with this place somehow? Am I in an alternate dimension? Wait a minute... "Waah! What about the tournament? Damn it, I don't even know where I really am!" She doesn't notice that some people stare at her, confused by her act. She checks on her swords & necklace, swords are still in the bags & necklace is still hanging by her neck. She sneezes as her clothes are all wet, including her maroon scarf. Luckily, she won't get cold because of the warm weather on the dimension she's in.

As she lifts up her head, she sees a boy standing on the tree. Probably around Tama's age, judging from his height. The dog mask & the gray uniform he's wearing remind her of something. She tries to remember it, but her concentration breaks as the boy starts to speak.

"Where did you get that pendant?"

"My mom gave me, why?"

"I want you to give me that..." the boy's request pops a vein on her head.

"What the hell? It's not polite to own someone's stuff, you know that! Jeez, are you a thief or something?"

He doesn't give any answer, but jumps to the water & stands on it. A thing that Tama can't imagine with her current logical thinking. Tama changes the way she thinks that is out of logic & tries to recall when she ever saw it somewhere. But once again, the concentration broke off as the boy talks.

"The pendant belongs to us, I demand you to hand over it."

"What if I say I won't? Because I won't ever give it to you."

"You don't understand what the pendant is."

"I've promised to myself to take care of it. I don't want to understand what you think the stone is. This thing has been treasured & I'll never hand it over." As the boy grabs his kunai, Tama unsheates both of her swords.

"I'll only ask you one more time, give me that pendant."

"Have it if you can, in fact you can't have it as long as I'm still alive. Or should I say, over my dead body for short?" she grins lightly, the thing she always does behind the protector mask in kendo tournament.

"I won't go easy on you..."

"Bring it on..."

"So is this Mikado Aoi?" Kakashi holds a paper about a data of a girl who Tama saw earlier as a reflection.

"Yes, it's true. She & the rest of the Mikado clan existed in the time of Shodaime's & Nidaime's reign. According to Shodaime's book, she was the next in line to lead the clan. But unfortunately the clan didn't survive before she gains a full leadership of the clan." explained Hiruzen.

"What happened to the clan? Did someone massacre them?"

Before a long explanation, Hiruzen takes a breath then continues, "The book says the clan protected a pendant called Mizukami no Tama. For years they keep it from the reach of Takura clan of Kusagakure. Shodaime & Nidaime once offered them aid, but the current leader of the Mikado clan insisted that it's their own war & didn't want to involve the village. The leader even said if they died, it is better that way than the Takura clan claims it & uses it for evil. Until Mikado Aoi & her younger brother, Hiroshi became the last survivor & eventually killed, nobody has ever seen the pendant."

"I see... Then Hokage - sama, do you want me to search for it?" asked Kakashi.

"No, not really. I've sent Yamato's most trustworthy boy to search for it. Although I doubt that he will find it anywhere."

"Because the pendant was probably destroyed long time ago, isn't that right?"

"That & there are another rumors involving around the pendant. Some say the pendant is hidden in the clan's secret underground base or Hiroshi thrown it into the deep sea as Aoi demanded before she died. Even there's a rumor, Mikado Aoi hid it in the other dimension by using the power of the pendant itself. Then she's reincarnated into the same dimension where she hid it. Her reincarnation shares the same role of the Mikado clan as the protector of the stone. And there's also a prophecy that the reincarnation itself holds a strong power that attracts many spirits & has a deep black hair & deep black eyes. The child will come through the water, called by Mikado Aoi's soul within her."

"That means we have to wait for this reincarnation to come here. But it will take too long, Hokage - sama."

"Kakashi, I summoned you here not because I want you to accompany that boy in searching for the pendant or searching for the reincarnation. I just want you to recover the documents that are said to be hidden on the Mikado clan's territory so we can assure-!" before the Hokage can finish his sentence, one of the windows broke with a puff of smoke coming in. Kakashi immediately takes his position to fight, as well as Hiruzen.

After the smoke gone, before their eyes, Tama seizes the dog masked boy's neck with her 2 swords with one of her knees on the floor & another leg folded. The boy places his kunai right before her forehead, but unable to move further because he'll die of his neck slashed by real sword if he does so even though Tama has turned the sword to the dull side.

"Listen, this is the part of my mission. I've been ordered to retrieve it once I found it, so just give it to me right away & I won't do any harm."

"The part I told you I "I won't" don't you get it? My grandmother gave it to my mom before it was given to me! So I know that this pendant is really an important thing that I've vowed not to lose it no matter what! No matter how many you ask to hand it over just dream on!"

"You gave me no choice. I'll have to kill you."

"Stop it," Hiruzen walks towards the two. "Lower your weapons; we have no reason to harm her."

The boy obeys the order & so does Tama. She murmured in disbelief, "Sa - Sandaime - sama? Hatake Kakashi - sensei?" Now she remembers everything, she now knows why she felt familiar with this place & more convinced that she has been transported into another dimension.

~ End of Chapter 1 ~

Rika Tylore: Okay, that's the end of chapter 1. Here are a few notes:

This story takes place after the Land of Waves arc & before the Chunin Exam.

The scene of Aoi stretches her hand & Tama's hand stretches at the same time is the parody of TRC. If you recall the Tokyo arc, there's a similar scene where Syaoran has a dream meeting Li Tsubasa. When Tsubasa moves his arm, his arm moves at the same time.

Shonen Onmyoji got its parody too. The whole spirit master, supernatural ability, & supernatural stuffs inspire me!

Fox wedding is one of Japanese myths. It's said if in a sunny day the rain suddenly pours, there's a fox wedding occurring. This myth has mentioned in xxxHoliC & Gegege no Kitaro as far as I knew.

Tama is inspired from Tatsuki of Bleach, I'm currently making a doujinshi with Tama as the main protagonist & that's how I drew her. Not really similar to Tatsuki though, I just used the tomboyish girl concept.

It's not really important, but the line "The part I told you "I won't", don't you get it?" is from Hinamori & Kira from Bleach when Hinamori wants to kill Gin after she saw the dead Aizen.

And if you're asking who Hiruzen is, it's the real name of the 3rd Hokage.

Tama: That's much of the parodies' notes.

Suzaku: Do you really have to make the notes?

Rika Tylore: If you read Hayate no Gotoku, Hata Kenjiro - sensei did gave notes in every parody he made in the manga. I'm just doing the same thing as a disclaimer, Suza - chan...

Suzaku: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NICKNAME?

Tama: Suzaku, you can't yell to our creator. After all giving you nicknames is her right as a creator.

Suzaku: Humph!

Rika Tylore: Okay Readers, since Suzaku is currently in bad mood it won't be comfortable to continue this conversation. The next chapter will come out very soon, I hope you enjoy the story & please give us reviews. I'm Rika Tylore the author, signing off.
