Chapter 1: The Secret Book

Rin's POV:

My dream was to be a writer...like my mother.

Sakura Kotoba...

My mother was a famous author of famous books and she was called a Legend because of her heart touching stories. Her stories had spread across the world and people said that her works were magnificent, like every word was important.

They said her stories were just flawless. They said my mother's a magic.

Someone so talented, someone perfect...

Well, for me she was a perfect writer because...Her stories were flawless.

But my mother died when I was twelve and by the way it was five years ago.

My father also died...just a week ago.

He told me something that was related to my mother just before he died.

I was confused, yet I knew it had to be something important.

*FLASHBACK*

"R-rin.." my father looked weak and almost broken, I couldn't stand to see him suffering like that.

I held his hand tighter. "Yes, Father, I'm here."

"R-Rin..." he coughed. "T-there's something...that you need to k-know."

I softened my expression. "What is it, Father?"

Another cough. "Go...to the priestess Nezera...she will tell you everything. In the forest...The..." his voice broke.

I sighed. "Father, it's alright. Don't tire yourself."

He shook his head. "No...Rin...The book...you have to find the..."

He stopped, gasping.

"Father." She protested.

"Your mother...The book...finish..."

Then he closed his eyes and I sobbed, knowing that my father was gone.

I needed to find that book. My father said so.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I set out to the forest the next morning to find the priestess Nezera.

My mother must have left something for me.

Maybe a journal where her secrets were written?

Maybe she wanted me to learn them and become a famous writer like her?

Maybe...

Oh, geez, I'm drowned in my own thoughts again.

I stopped walking and frowned at my backpack, then at my clothes.

"Oh great! Just great." I stomped my foot. "What am I doing now?"

I glared at the ground and ventured in the forest.

I was wearing my black shorts, my plain white shirt, and black boots that reached my knees and my violet hair was in ponytail.

I looked like someone who was going to the mall instead of a temple out in the forest. I am so weird.

What would mother think of me?

Then I saw a gate made of iron and two women in kimono stopped me from walking in.

"You are not allowed here, girl." Said the woman with a brown hair braided to the right side.

"This is a sacred temple for the Hahara Clan." Said the other woman.

I took a brave step forward. I'd come this far not to get ditched by two weak women in kimono.

"We are warning you, girl." The brunette said in a dangerous tone.

I took another step. "I'm here to see Nezera."

The women seemed surprised. "Nezera-senpai?"

I nodded. "I am Sakura Kotoba's daughter. And I'm here to retrieve something that belongs to my mother."

They seem to understand. They really knew my mom...and they knew about me, too.

The brunette smiled at me, which I found annoying. "So you are Sakura-chan's little Rin, huh?"

Little Rin?!

"Excuse me but I'm not a little – ''

"So you are here to get the Secret Book." the other woman said, which was stupid because I already said I did come there to get it.

"Yes, so can you please, you know, let me pass?"

The woman who smiled at me awhile ago sighed this time. "I guess we don't have a choice. Come, Rin Kotoba, we will take you to Nezera-senpai."

"So," I looked at the women in front of me. "How did you know my mother – well I mean...personally?"

No answer.

Really? Was that a dangerous question?

"Don't ask too many questions, girl." The other woman hissed. "Nezera-senpai will explain it all to you. Be patient."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

The two led me to a room that looked like a place for rituals or something...well I haven't been to one but I can tell.

"We are here." The brunette announced.

Not obvious. I thought sarcastically.

Then they left.

What attitude was that? Leaving a girl in a place she knew nothing about?

Those creeps.

I looked around the place and I felt that someone was watching me.

I didn't glance at my back but I was pretty sure there was someone hiding in the shadows, watching me.

"Come out there. I know you're here." I said, and it must have sounded crazy.

But there really was someone watching her.

Then a woman with long red hair came out of darkness. She smiled at me apologetically. "Sorry for that. I enjoyed hiding and watching people."

"Are you Nezera?"

The woman bowed. "Yes, I am. What brings you here, young lady?"

"I am Rin Kotoba. Daughter of Sakura Kotoba." I held my head a bit higher. "I am here to retrieve my mother's book."

Nezera's eyes narrowed. "Book?"

I nodded, wondering why pristesses were so complicated. "Do you know something about it?"
"So you are Rin, Sakura's daughter."
"Hai."

The woman's eyes held no emotion. "Are you ready for this, Rin?"

"What do you mean?"

Nezera drew something in the air using her finger and then a book appeared from it and it dropped on the red head's hands.

"H-how could you do that?!" my eyes never left the book.

"You need to know more about your mother, Rin." She handed the book to me. "And this is something that will help you."

I reluctantly took the book and it was so light for a very, very thick book.

It was no ordinary book. That I know very well.

"That's the book your mother created but unfortunately...it didn't work out."

I looked down on the book, there were words engraved on it: Hunter x Hunter

I looked up again and was surprised to see Nezera's eyes puffy from crying.

"What...is this?" I asked.

Great, now I will make things worse.

Nezera wiped her eyes and looked down the book. "Your mother almost did it..."

She seemed to be lost in thought so I flicked my hand in front of her face and she flinched.

"How did you know my mother? What is this book?"

She bit her lip. "You are not ready to know."

"Then why did I even come here?"

"Do you really want to know, Rin?"

"Yes!"

"Then open the book."

I did and a light came out of it that it almost blinded me.

I covered my eyes and dropped the book.

A minute after, the light faded. I slowly opened my eyes and picked the book, but this time, I was cautious.

"Look." Nezera said.

I looked down and saw a scene in one of the pages. It was like a movie.

I turned the pages and saw different scenes.

Scared, I closed it and read the title over and over again.

Hunter x Hunter.

Hunter x Hunter.

Hunter x Hunter.

What was that book?

"See?" the red head took the book from me. "You are not ready to know yet."

"I need an explanation first."

"This is the Secret Book."

"That doesn't explain it." I retorted. "How can my mother create such thing?"

"Because we are the same."

"What?"

Then I remembered the way Nezera summoned the book out of thin air.

"M-my mother can summon things – ''

"Wrong, dear." She cut me off. "I mean, we are of the same kind but our abilities are different."

"A-abilities?"

"Yes." The woman replied flatly. "Our kind has this power called Creative Hand. But we don't have the same abilities. Mine is called the Summoner, for I can summon things that I draw. Sakura's Hand is – or was – called the Reality."

"And the use of that is...?" but I was afraid I knew the answer myself.

"Your mother writes stories and using her power, she can go into her story. Unfortunately our powers are not that accurate." she frowned as if remembering something. "We cannot always make things go as we want. It needs lot of concentration and draws a lot of energy from us."

She paused, looking at my expression. When she saw that I didn't believe her she turned her back. "I knew this would happen. Well, I have lots to do. Come back when you're ready."

I took her arm. "Wait."

She faced me while shrugging my hand off.

"I need to know more."

"You need to?" she asked, brows arching.

I nodded, sure of what I needed to do. "Why did Mother want me to get this book?"

"She wanted to see what she can do but when she wrote a few stories she failed. You know those books she published? Those were the failures. They just became normal books...until one story succeeded."

I looked at the book held by the priestess. "The..."

"You guessed it right. Hunter x Hunter. The book Sakura cared for most. The only successful Reality created book."

"She wants me to go there to see the Hunter x Hunter world?"

Nezera smirked. "It's not that simple, girl. You dream of being a writer, yes?"

"Yes."

"Well, Sakura came in the Hunter x Hunter World and the original story changed because she came."

"Huh?" I almost sweat dropped.

The red head chuckled. "She told me that when she came in, she was at the first chapter of the story. You know what? She got trapped in this certain forest and was found by two kids...well then she gave them a book about adventure as thanks for saving her. Oh, long story, dear."

"What happened?"

"The other boy was supposed to die in the original story but he survived and now, he's seeking revenge."

"Why is that bad?"

"No it isn't, Rin. But the story changed now and it became confusing. It's also incomplete." She shook her head in disapproval. "It doesn't have an ending yet and unless there will finally be an ending written, the scenes in that book will just continue over and over again."

"How can I revise the book, then?"

She raised her eyebrow.

"Wait," my eyes widened, the realization shocking me. "You mean I have to go in the Hunter x Hunter world and give it an ending myself?!"

Nezera smiled. "Smart girl."

"You mean, to rewrite the story I have to create my own by...by going in there? You mean I am the one to create an ending?"

"In a fictional world, the author or creator is the one to put an ending, not the characters themselves. Sakura went in one more time but she failed because there were too many obstacles..."

Oh, great. Now I regret coming here.

"You mean mother wants me to finish what she had not finished." I muttered.

"Don't worry, you don't have to do it."

I took the book from her hand. "No. I will do it. Besides, it could be fun. Going to another world could be an adventure I will never forget."

Yeah, totally.

"Are you really ready to go to the World of Hunters?"

"Ready as ever."

"Then you need to know more."

I'm excited at the same time nervous.

Well how was that, minna? Tell me if I should continue this one.

And to those who have read In Between, I will continue it, but I need two more good reviews. And if you want to chat with me on Facebook just add me, Danica Tara Collins. You will find ONLY anime stuff. No pictures of ME there! XD
