Enigma
The Legend Of Senso
or Kamui
Once, long, long ago, I assure you, even before you were even conceived. The world was
engaged in senso.
Everywhere was chaos. The chaos was created from two armies, the Army of Ten, and the Army
of Chi. Both had a fierce leader and six generals who commanded the army with a firm grip.
All armies who went up against them died. They were both undefeated.
Finally the two armies were all that was left. The final battle between the two armies was long
and took many years to complete.
Slowly all the infantry and generals died leaving only the two leaders.
The Two Kamui.
To save confusion, the Kamui of Chi was known as Fuma, and the Kamui of Ten, known by just
that. But only among others. To each other and themselves, they only knew Kamui as their name.
The name 'Kamui' means two things: One who represents the majesty of God. One who hunts
the majesty of God.
None could truly say who was who as they fought.
The ketto between the two took them back to their birth place of Tokyo. They went to the only
remaining building, the Tokyo Tower.

The final kekkai was in place by Kamui. The Shinken were out. Their magic at its fullest... most
powerful.
The fate of the world was finally decided when none other than-
"What are you reading Kamii-Chan?" The young girl, Gojin, asked as she came up behind her
friend, he didn't even both to turn away from the cave wall to look at her. Instead he just stared,
stared and the hieroglyphics from long ago.
"The Legend of Senso." He replied in his monotone voice. Sometimes he could be very cold and
distant, but she knew him well, and she knew that he meant well. Now just wasn't the time to expect
him to be happy.
"Everyone's waiting for you at the funeral..." she mumbled softly taking his left hand that hung
numbly by his side, his other hand holding up the lamp that contained the light by which he read.
"She used to read this stuff to me... when I was a kid. Said she knew all about this stuff." His blue
eyes, stained with red from crying, weren't reading anymore, but they were still locked on the wall.
His short black hair was unkept and dirty, he didn't care.
She also had short black hair, but her hair was brushed and went past her ears. She had bright green
eyes, curious of the world. She truly was still a child, the same age as he was actually. Same age,
but very different. Their age and where they lived was pretty much all they had in common.
They lived in New Japan. Japan, gone in Earths final battle. However, the place had been absolutely
destroyed by Earthquakes, no battles actually took place there. Although, it was said that the final
duel between the Kamui took place there. Then again, the whole Kamui thing was a legend.
There were two armies left in the end, that part was true enough, but the legend that was carved into
the wall before them, was simply a legend, written by an old man after the war had finished and
New Japan came into existence, almost two thousand years ago.
But no, he and his late mother had found that legend, depicted it. Read it over and over again, and
they believed it. In time everyone came to know this legend, and nobody but them believed it.
Well... them and their good friend Kuta. He was quite the eccentric one.
Kuta, and all their friends were waiting for them now. It was Kamii mothers funeral, she had died
only the week before, died in a fire. It was horrible, so sudden...
"I always wanted to learn how to read this," she said taking a step forward, her right hand dropping
Kamiis and grazing over the fine carvings, untouched by all the elements, but humans. "I'm so sorry
Kamii."
Gojin turned around and his gazed finally faltered to stare into her eyes. Her crying eyes. They had
both been there when Toshoku died in the fire. If only she had gotten help sooner. If only she had
done something quicker. Gotten water, tried to stomp out what she could. Do anything.
Kamii grabbed her and pulled her in close for an embrace, she continued to cry. He had shed his
tears, now he needed to be strong, for everyone. And because of what his mother had told him
before she died.
"Stay strong."
He now repeated the words to his friend. Soon she stepped back and with a smile on her face
whipped away her tears.
"Let's go back out there," he suggested, and she nodded happily.
Toshoku wanted to be buried outside the cave. To be its eternal guardian. To be Kamuis eternal
guardian, forever. It's what she wanted. So it's what they did. She could truly guard her finding
forever.

Elises safe guard to destroy confusion:
Senso = War
Ketto = Duel
Kekkai = Barrier
Shinken = Holly Sword
Kamui = Kamii
Yuzuriah = Gojin
Sorata = Kuta
Toshoku = Tooru
The first four are simply Japanese = English translations. The last four, their names, were
something that took me a day and some time to figure out. Basically, I took their Kanji and got
the most common Katakana for it. Is this making any sense? So, their names mean the same
things, but are said differently.
(Well... this might be a long fic... either way, first chapter won't be up for a while. I've been wanting to write an Xfic
forever... but never had an idea. I do now, which sucks because I have all these other Fics to finish. Anyhoo, I'll leave
you people to ponder over this. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Give me long reviews, I really need them. And I'll
write long chapters *don't worry, only my Prologues are this short*. No questioning my name either, it works, really,
it does. K, Sayonara)
