I don't own BLEACH, Kingdom Hearts, or Inuyasha

The Beginning

I remember when my story began. It was the beginning of my adventures throughout the entire universe. It was the beginning of my life as a half-demon. The beginning of my life as a key bearer. It all started with that dream… my awakening.


It felt like I was underwater. I was falling into an endless void. Darkness was all around and threatening to engulf my entire being. Then my feet hit something solid and the feeling of being underwater vanished. I opened my eyes but couldn't see anything.

Experimentally, I took a step forward. It was then that hundreds of birds flew up from the ground and a blindingly bright light came from beneath them and I was forced to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes I was standing on a stained glass platform depicting a boy around my age with short spiky orange hair. He was wearing a black Japanese samurai robe and had a giant, meat cleaver looking sword that was as long as he was tall.

As soon as I was done looking at the platform a toneless voice seemed to emanate from all around me and resonate within my head. I shall never forget what that voice said for as long as I live. It said "Power sleeps within you. If you give it form it will give you strength. Warrior, guardian, or mystic… which path shall you choose?"

Three pedestals appeared a sword on the first one, a shield on the second one, and a staff on the third one. It was then that I found my voice. I said "this is by far the most realistic dream I've ever had. Guess I have to pick one." I looked at the pedestals and considered what was on each. "I don't think I want that sword or the shield. My claws can be used as blades and I don't have any need for a shield in my fighting style. The staff it is then."

I walked over to the pedestal on my right and took the staff from it. The voice spoke again. "The power of the mystic, untold wisdom, a staff of wonder and ruin… Is this the form you choose?" I had to think for a minute here. For some reason as I held the staff I could feel some sort of energy pulsing through it. After a minute I knew what it was. Magic. I knew this was the path I wanted.

"Yes." I answered. As soon as the word left my mouth five black spots appeared on the platform and started moving towards me. When they got closer they took on a third dimension and looked like little pitch black people with antennae and glowing yellow eyes. I swung the staff and when it hit one of them it turned to dust. What's more, when I hit it I felt no resistance, like I hit nothing but air.

One of them jumped at my back. I swung around and swiped at it with my claws, rendering it dust. The others swarmed me all at once. I waited until they were close enough, then I spun around hitting all of them with the staff. I was alone once more.

"What were those things? I asked.

"Heartless. And this is called a hallow." The voice answered.

Just then I felt a shiver go down my spine. Something BIG was behind me. I slowly turned around and saw a large figure behind me. It was the size of a 12 year old and human shaped. Its body was pitch black and had a hole in it's chest and on it's face was a white mask that had streaks of red.

The hallow lunged at me and I jumped out of the way of it's attack. I swung the staff and hit it's knee making it bend at an unnatural angle. I pointed the staff at the hollow's face and yelled the first word that came into my head. "FIRE!" A fireball shot from the tip of the staff and slammed into the hollow's face, where it exploded. It's head was destroyed and the rest of it just faded away into nothingness.

You have passed. Said the voice. When I asked what I had passed the voice said("your awakening. The test of your heart's strength. The power of the mystic is now yours. Beware for this power can cause great happiness as well as great danger. Your journey begins now… keybearer."

I started to feel lightheaded. But before I blacked out I couldn't help but think… this is going to be AWSOME!

I just had to write about this idea.
