This is my first story for Fanfiction. Please don't go easy on me. Give me the good and the bad so that I may improve on my writing skills and better the story.

Declaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Pucca. Though some of the characters from Pucca description may be a tad bit different but not by much. I'll try to keep appearance and personality the same as much as possible. All I own is the plot and future characters that will make their appearances.


Chapter One

Sooga Village

Santa walked down the quite dirt road of his home of many years, humming a tune. He had on a white button shirt with a red vest over it; black slacks that went up to his ankles and black slip on shoes. Despite of the chilly morning air, which was nothing compared to the North Pole, he had always had the feeling that all his worries drift away with the wind.

As a Blue Jay flew pass him, he closed his eyes with a content grin, enjoying the wonderful feeling of just being alive. As he reopened his eyes, he looked at his beloved village. It has not changed much since he was once a lad. Maybe it was because if the village grew, people would be able to see their beloved town. Soon unwanted guest would over populate the village of Sooga. It was not as if their village was small but it was not large either. No, it was just the right size for everyone to know each other. Of course, there are the few occasions of a new arrival, be by birth or anyone found alive in Avokigahara Forest. The elderly man turned a corner of one of his many own businesses but before he could go any further, he found himself spinning in a circle.

Stopping, he held his head with his left hand, praying that the world would stop moving, looking to his left he saw a black blur running away and into the forest. Before he could think of anything else, another blur heading in the same direction as the first, made him spin once again. This time, when he looked, he saw a dark red blur disappearing into the forest as well. Chuckling to himself, he continued with his morning walk, waving to the little blue and pink people that he passes by.

'Doesn't she ever give up?'

Jumping up into a tree, a 6'3" seventeen-year-old male, hid in the shadows. His black hair combed back into a small, low ponytail, barely passing his shoulder blades. He looked slim but he was in deed, very strong for his age, since he has trained in the arts of ninjitsu at a very young age but even with all his training, nothing could prepare him with what he had to face everyday.

Wearing a slim fitting black polo shirt with a logo of a small heart on the upper-left, black shorts, black Converse and along with his red fingerless gloves, he hid in a nearby tree. Growing up, he soon became the center of attention to any young female that crossed his path. Before his parents had died, his father had always told him to respect women, for they are the giver of life and just as quickly as they gave life, they could take it. He did not think he was the most attractive male in the village, than again, he also knew he wasn't ugly either.

Crouching in the trees, he soon began to feel one with nature, something that he has always been able to do. The feeling would cool and calm his mind, helping him on solving problems that he had in life. He would sit on a tree branch, eyes closed as he leaned against it, enjoying the quite and cool breeze that passed by. However, at this very moment, there was only one thing on his mind, one problem that he had to solve right there and then. His black onyx eyes were force on the dirt road below, his breathing was slow and low, waiting in the silence.

He knew that she was coming. The land told him as the trees sway back and forth dangerously, he himself, held on to the branch, smirking as he watched a red blur dashed off into the distance, far, far away from him. Jumping down from the tree, he dusted himself off, whistling a little tune that came to his mind. As he dusted off his hands he turned back towards the village, smiling at his newfound freedom when; all of a sudden, he felt himself knocked to the ground with a heavy force.

Groaning in pain, his eyes opened slowly, revealing two big, amethyst purple eyes staring back at him with glee. Closing his eyes again, he let out another groan for he knew only one person that looked at him like that: Pucca.

Said girl giggled, placed a quick kiss on his cheek, pulled Garu up and gave him a bone-crushing hug. Garu fought desperately, as he tried to release himself from her hug and breathe in some fresh air. For her being just sixteen years of age and only 4'9", Garu never met anyone that was even half as strong as she was.

Noticing that he couldn't breath, Pucca quickly let go of him as she giggled a bit. Reaching for his hands, she prevented him from running again. Gasping for air, Garu gradually recovered his breathing, silently thanking God for the wonderful, sweet fresh air before glaring at Pucca's direction, forcefully rubbing his cheek that she kissed.

Pucca was wearing a dark red silk shirt that button up on the left with black buttons; black Capri's that seemed tight around her tiny waist and her calves but flared out just enough for movement and a pair of black flats. Her black hair was half up while the rest hung past her shoulders. No make-up and jewelry but then again, she didn't need any of it; for her natural beauty made her shine out, if anything, make-up would just enhance her beauty.

Her light pink heart shape lips, dark purple orbs that brighten with life and long dark eyelashes, made her a beauty to behold. Not only that but she had a kind and caring heart, always thinking about others, helped those in need and she was well-educated but when pushed to far, she can unleash a furry that grown men themselves coward in fear.

Everyone in Sooga Village knows her, as the village's Rose and everyone were always happy to see her. Everyone that is, but Garu because at this very moment, he began to think of ways that he could do so Pucca would leave him alone. All were not very pretty ideas, so instead, he settled for calming down before he did anything stupid.

It wasn't unusual to see Pucca chasing after Garu. All the villagers knew about her crash she has for him. Though the two have been friends, it didn't stop her for giving him a bone-crashing hug and a kiss on the cheek. If the two weren't hanging out, they could always find Garu running from Pucca. As kids, the thought of being kiss scared him but now, many years later, he just got used to her treatment but it also didn't mean that he wasn't going down without a fight. Although, their daily run, did in fact, kept both of their stemma up and in great shape. Therefore, they weren't always bad.

Pulling his hands free, Garu leaned on a tree; arms crossed and just stared at her. He thought about wither or not he should even 'ask' what it was she wanted to tell him or he could take the chance now and run away again. Thinking that the second choice was a bad, very bad idea for his health, he went with number one.

Growing, he gave her a stern look, waiting for her to do something. She in turn, smiled as she reached inside her pocket. Pulling out a sheet of paper, she came closer to him and held it out.

Garu raised an eyebrow at her as he reached for the paper. His black eyes scanned it over and faced palm. There, written in black and white, an invitation to a picnic their two friends, Abyo and Ching, were throwing. It would not have bothered him if it weren't for one tiny, tiny detail. The picnic started at noon and it was barely six in the morning.

He looked at the happy girl in front of him, smiling and patiently waiting for his answer. There were times that he could never understand what goes through that mind of hers.

Of coursed he would go though. Ching and Abyo had become very good friends of his ever since the he came to the village years ago. He just wished she could have found a better why on asking him instead of chasing him this early in the morning. Now, because of it, he missed his breakfast and all that running made him hungrier than before.

Garu simply released a sigh as looked at the happy girl. Years of neither of them talking, the two were able to 'talk' but with looks. Like now, Garu read her face expression. Her toothy grin as she tilted her head with eyes close, a slight blush creeping on her face. Her hands were latch together and behind her back as she stood perfectly still. It was all so clear; she wanted a reason to see him. Once again, he slapped his face.

Pucca opened her eyes as she stared at the man of her dreams. He was aggravated, that much was clear but he looked at her with disbelief. An expression she couldn't help but giggle. A look that was saying she didn't need a reason to see him because she sees him everyday. Still, Pucca liked to have a reason other ways, Garu would run away from her.

Sighing, Garu put his left hand on his hip and looked up at her smiling face. He was never able to stay mad at her for long, no matter what she did to him, which said a lot. He gave her a small side smile of his own. A smile that read he had no choice at the topic at hand.

She shook her head from side to side, the motion causing her hair to whip back and forth. Sighing in defeat, Garu just simply nodded his head while Pucca jumped for joy.

His stomach growled. Reminding him that he still hasn't eaten. Pucca placed her hand over her stomach as well. Though she did eat, chasing Garu had made her hungry once again.

He started to walk pass her before he felt someone cling to his arm and continued on walking along side him. Looking down, he could see that Pucca had a small grin on her face. Happy he was going to come and most likely, treat her to breakfast as well.

Garu wouldn't admit it to her but he enjoyed the warmth that he felt every time she would cling to him. He actually liked the fact Pucca spent so much time with him and never gave another guy a second glace. It made him feel special that she cared so much about him but it did embarrass him that she was always showing affection out in public.

Where as he has always been the quite type and therefore, Garu didn't even know where to begin. If he even wanted to, how could he show Pucca that he cared as well? Just showing her was out of the question. He was never good at showing his emotions to begin with.

Smiling as well, Garu thought of a sure way free meal. He made a sharp right turn and headed start for Goh-Ring, Pucca's home and the only noodle shop in the village. He felt Pucca stop and pull at his arm, looking down she stared at him with wide eyes. To anyone that didn't know her, that person would think she was confuse but Garu knew better. He knew she was asking him why they were going there with her bright purple eyes.

Garu just smiled and pointed at her. That was enough for Pucca to understand. Since she lived there and her uncles ran Goh-Ring, he knew she would be able to get them a free meal. She gasped at the known fact and let go of his arm as she crossed them. Her eyes glared at him, practically yelling to him on his idea.

He in turn just looked at her that told it all. Pucca was the one that chased him so early in the morning. Pucca was the one that made him miss his breakfast. It was only fair that she gave him a free meal.

Her eyes soften and just nodded but not before giving him a look of her own. She wanted to dine with him in return for the free food. Garu thought about her question and weighed his options. On one hand, he could go home and try to eat with Pucca bugging him again or he could agree, have a free meal and Pucca leaving him in peace afterwards. His stomach growled again. Guess he was taking number two once again.

Garu nod his head in agreement and Pucca squealed with delight but when she looked up at him, she saw him smirk at her. A smirk she was all too familiar with, a smirk that she knew he only used for her. However, he only used it when he was going to tease her or already did.

Thinking back, Pucca tried to remember what it was that he already did. He agreed to the picnic. He agreed to let her eat with him in return for a free meal. What was it?

Her eyebrows came close together, as she went into a deep thought. A look Garu found cute but shook his head at the thought. Nevertheless, it didn't stop the small blush forming on his face. He was just happy she was so far gone, that she wouldn't notice. Garu watch as Pucca finally understood what he meant. Yeah, he agreed to eat with her but it also meant that he was going to spend more time with her.

Meaning he was putting up with her company longer and he didn't think it would be that bad. Garu might as well tell her she was bad company. Pucca grabbed onto his arm and began to shake it about while Garu couldn't help but grin. Yanking free from her grip, he ran towards the restaurant, well aware of Pucca chasing after him once more.


Deep within the mountains range, far from any village, a brown hooded figure came into view. This figure seemed sure that no one would follow where it was heading, for it seem to be taking its time on reaching its destination. The land had an eerie silence to it. No living creature was within sight; not even ants that search for food. The sound of footsteps that the hooded figure took was the only sound made, as it slowly walked though the mountain path before stopping in front of a cave. To anyone that would happen to walk the same path, they would think nothing of it but for anyone that knew of its secrets, they would know that what laid inside was more than gold itself.

Walking inside the cave did the figure stop and looked around for the first time. Seeing that no one was around, it stopped and mumbled a few words in an unknown language. Words spoken aloud, a blue tint covered the mouth of the cave, before turning invisible. A smile formed on the hooded figure, now, even if someone was following, no one could get in. Turning around, the cape flew with the wind as the figure headed on to the deep and darkest spot of the cave. Reaching a dead-end, the figure placed a hand on the wall. Once again, speaking a few words and as a bright green light covered the wall, the figure stood back. Rocks began to move out of the way, reviling a blinding light on the other side. Stepping in, the figure removed the hood, showing a man who could be no older than nineteen years.

Short brown hair was hanging loose and wild, as if it has never seen a brush before. His light tan skin and dark brown eyes seemed too enhanced by the scar in the shape of an X on his forehead. His arms also held more scars from various fights that he had fought. He was wearing nothing but black, walking towards a women with bright blue hair, inches from touching the floor, who was standing in front of a wall with designs and writing craved into it. The female was tracing a delicate finger over one of the craving before speaking to him.

"You're late Tobe." Her voice was like a siren. "I was beginning to worry that you would not show."

"Ring-Ring, my dear sister, did you believe that I would not come back?" His voice was dry and sharp as he watched his sister turn around and face him. A grin planted on her delicate face.

"No brother, but I wouldn't put it pass me that you would try to keep the pendent to yourself and get into fathers favor." Her skin was pale white and unlike her brother, not a single scar tainted her body. A bright pink sleeveless dress that ended at her mid thighs; all around her waist, her skin was exposed and a thin slip in the front was the only fabric connecting the two pieces, and long leather black boots passed her knees. Her lips painted black and so were her eyes, enhancing her light blue orbs. Masking her dark beauty to fear and behold. Unlike Tobe, she was three years younger. "Did you find it?"

Tobe reached for a gold chain that he hid under his shirt. There on his chain, hung a red pendent with a drawing of a dragon. Smiling at Ring-Ring, he spoke once again. "Is this what you're asking for?"

He walked past her and placed it inside a slot surround by writing. As he did, a red light came from the pendent as the writing from close by began to glow red before fading. Grinning, he walked back to his sister and they both admired their work. As they stood side by side, it was easy to tell that he was just a few inches taller. As Ring-Ring stood at 5'9", Tobe stood at 5'11.

Within the craved drawings, there were now three charms placed inside. Each surround by words from ancient times and each had a dragon craved on the pendent. The only differences were the colors that each represents. Upper left now had the red pendent for fire, lower right had a white pendent for air and the upper right had a green pendent for earth. Leaving an empty spot in the lower left, were the blue pendent for water would be place. Just one more and finally true power will come their way.

"Soon, Father will be free Tobe. We just need the last one."

"Yes sister. Father will be free from his eternal prison and we shall be free from these pathetic human bodies. Soon, the world well belong to us once again! Over a thousand of years of waiting, revenge on the mortals will be ours!"

Tobe looked at his sister and saw that she was smirking. Being stuck in a mortal human body prevented them from using their full powers and with each body that passed away, the two would find another body to live in. All the two had to do, was release their father from his prison. They would gain their true body form and the world will once again, belong to them.

"Finally, after years of slow and painful recovery, we are one-step from reaching our goal! And brother I found out were the last pendent lays." Ring-Ring looked at her brother, with knowing eyes. "It lays in a village where it all began and where we found these bodies... a village known as Sooga Village. We leave tonight and once this world is ours to rule again, no Element Warriors can stop us!"

Ring-Ring and Tobe began to laugh wickedly at the joyful thought. As they were healing and growing stronger over the years, the Earth's saviors grew old and weak. All dying one by one, until the last finally fall. It ways then, did the two acted on their plan and as centuries pass, they grew bolder and bolder. No one came to replace the Element Warriors, making Earth vulnerable with no chance of another savior.
