My Dearest
By: Youri Kai Kamachii
Hi there, I have a new Soul Calibur fanfic here and it's a Cassandra/Raphael non-one shot fanfic. PLEASE read and REVIEW! Enjoy!
Pairings: Cassandra X Raphael, Slight: YunSung X Talim and Mina X Hwang. Mention if a little Xianghua X Kilik. (Poor Amy is left out unless you want to give ideas of an OC I can pair her with; I'm all about Romance and I can always come up with an extra chapter/another fic)
Disclaimer: I don't own Soul Calibur, NAMCO still does...for now…
Chapter 1:
One day, Cassandra decided to go out, just to leave her Greek household and have her own small adventure.
'Man, I haven't gone out in a while' thought Cassandra, 'Maybe I should go to the bookstore -'.
Cassandra was looking forward to going to the bookstore. She hasn't gone in a while because of her fighting and constant searching of Sophitia, who earlier went on several quests to destroy the evil sword, Soul Edge.
"Hey, where do you think you're going young lady?" said her older sister, Sophitia, who suddenly crept behind Cassandra.
"...Umm…I'm just going to the bookstore...Don't mind me -" replied Cassandra, knowing that she would do more than just book shopping.
"Well, you better come back before dusk, or Rothion and I will have to make you suffer."
Knowing her sister, Cassandra knew she meant babysitting. Cassandra hated babysitting the two children of Rothion and Sophitia, Patroklos and Pyrrha. Those two would fight over everything; Patroklos obviously was favored by their mother while Pyrrha had more love from Rothion.
"Fine, I'll try to be back by then..." said Cassandra while sighing, "I'm off."
Cassandra went outside of Athens to look around. There were lots of crowds and entertainers on the streets; it took a while for Cassandra to get to her destination. While Cassandra walked near the bookstore, her attention bounced from the bookstore to a talented juggler. Suddenly, a handsome, middle-aged, French man bumped into her while he was holding a pale young girl.
"Watch we're you're going next time" said the French man as he walked away with the pre-teen.
"I'm so sorry…" said Cassandra "…Jerk!"
Cassandra finally arrived to the bookstore.
"Hello miss, do you need help with anything?" asked the bookstore keeper.
"No…I'll just look around for myself thanks." replied Cassandra.
"You're welcome miss, anytime."
After looking around the bookstore, Cassandra only bought two books. Then after she stepped outside, she saw that the crowds were gone.
"Hello, anyone here?" asked Cassandra in a scared tone.
"I AM!" the voice belonged to Astaroth, the golem who massacred the crowds…
"I-I thought Sophie and I finished you off!"
"Don't underestimate me; I'm more powerful than you think." said Astaroth, "Now DIE!".
Astaroth tried to strike his axe at Cassandra, but she instead pulls out her sword and guards his attack with her shield. Cassandra stabs Astaroth in his torso, but the golem just laughs it off. All of a sudden, her shield splits in two.
'I can't believe this is happening' thought Cassandra, 'I can't die here!'
"After I'm done with you, I'll kill your sister too so she can join you"
Astaroth tries to strike Cassandra again, but a rapier blocked his axe.
'What in the world is happening?' thought Cassandra.
"Amy, stay back!" ordered the French man, "What are you doing hurting a young lady such as her?"
'That voice sounds familiar -' Cassandra looked up in surprise to see the handsome French man stand before her.
"Who…are you?" asked Cassandra.
"I'll introduce myself to you later. Right now protect Amy and escape from here while I fight this guy off."
Astaroth strikes again and Raphael blocks his attack.
"But…"
"Just go!"
"To where?" asked Cassandra.
"Anywhere but here." replied Raphael.
'Is this guy really trying to save me?' thought Cassandra while running away with Amy. 'So much for going back at dusk…'
A/N: Was this a good beginning for the story? Sorry if there were any OOCness. I'll TRY to get chapter 2 in as soon as possible and if I get enough reviews (please, I'm begging, please review, they motivate me). Goodbye for now!
