Hey people, this is my very first fanfic. Sure I've written many more before this, but this is my first to post up in this website, I figured I should start now.
I'm having a real hard trouble with requesting the proper sub-category for this story, Myself; Yourself. and since this seems almost like modern warfare, I've decided to just let it leech off the modern warfare sub-category, even though it's not really based on it besides warfare and well..guns =|
I don't own the anime nor the characters.
I hope you guys enjoy this fanfic. I won't take suggestions that relate to the plot I'm carrying out, but compliments sure will do!
Chapter One, Last Sanctuary.
He walked on, a very large travel bag with many pockets to boot all over the bag.
Most of them of course were obscured due to what seemed like a medium sized bag apparently duct taped on-top of the large one, he managed, considering the large one had
Wheels and a pull-along bar like all other travel bags do. The poor thing was stuffed beyond the limit, he thought. The bag had corners of what seemed to be solid objects trying to jut their way through the fabric of it.
Then again…He did have a second, equally large bag in the same condition being pulled along with his opposite hand. Grunting, he sat down along the side of the bridge he was currently on, legs dangling down the side.
"Ah…" He massaged his arms. "What a trip that was…I can't believe I actually made it, along with these things." He said as he punched one of the bags beside him, and accidentally into one of the many solid bumps jutting out. "OW!" he cursed as he cradled his now sore hand, settling with simply observing his surroundings. The sky was a cold gray, clouds blanketing the sky with no sign of ever allowing the sun to smile down on the land until the season has passed. He almost didn't recognize the exact place he was in, all the grass looked unhealthy, and the trees were already dead, hibernating like bears. Even the edges of the river down below him and the bridge, was frozen. Letting out a breath he watched as a gentle white steam colored the path of his breath. He stood up and grabbed his bags, continuing on his way across the bridge as he recalled a memory long forgotten.
A train made its way down its electric tracks, soon enough it reached the bridge above the river. Little 11-year-old Sana looked out the window quietly, A boy suddenly shooting into the area next to the river and jumped off his bike, running the rest of the way toward the train. Is that..Shu? Sana excitedly unlatched the locks of the window and opened it. Shusuke was yelling something to him, tears leaking down his cheeks from his eyes. Sana looked on at him, trying to figure out what he was saying. Soon the train passed through the bridge, the last precious scenery of his childhood hometown gone.
Looking up at the sky with a nostalgic smile, he continued his walk towards the town ahead of him. An hour later, he reached the town and was currently walking down the sidewalk; he takes a deep breath of fresh air and looks around. "This place…I remember it..." smiling as he looks around, stopping in his tracks right by an unfamiliar shop. "What's this?..this wasn't there before." Looking at the strangely different store, he concentrated on it, the image fading away into what seemed like a wine shop of his memories, before fading away back into its original state. His sight shifted across the street to another unfamiliar store.
"That too!" He exclaimed in mild surprise. "This town sure has change, not much, but just in the mild places you'd expect." Focusing once again, it too faded into a different image of his memories, a bento shop. He grinned, resuming his pace as he pulled out a slip of paper, re-checking the directions in concentration. "I'm grateful bud….This'll help me greatly." He reached into his pocket, and then pulled his hand back out, leaving the object of his attention to hand from his fingers. "I'm back home, Cain" He said as he felt the shark tooth at the end of the necklace.
"You hang onto that thing too much, Cain! haha!"
"Damn straight I do, it's my goodluck charm! Besides! I like it better here then where it was in my leg!!" They both laughed.
"It's a reminder of what I went through…..And you know what else?"
"What?"
"It shows I can survive anything this darn world will ever throw at me!!" They both laughed again.
His gaze on the necklace shifted to sadness. "almost anything...." He pocketed the necklace and looked over at the horizon toward the tall twin hills, Big Sister hill and Little Sister hill. "it's somewhere in there.." Checking the directions once again, he let out a defeated sigh. "Directions my butt..this is more of a treasure map than anything else.." Letting out another steamy breath, he began is hike to the hill.
