Red Strings of Destiny
GW/Slayers/Chinese story
Chapter One:
Meeting of Two Fates
BY: Ryomi

Our story take place in a far away dimension from our own where monsters, demon lords of evil, are trying to take over. While, sorcerers, swordsmen, priests, and other humans were trying to control the balance. This is where the story begins...

In a forest some where...

"Ha ha ha..." A really ugly looking drunken man, that was wearing nothing but leather straps and capes to cover his body, stood, looking down to at a group of men dressed in similar outfits. It was easily recognized that this was a group of bandits. And apparently this man was probably the leader of the bandit gang. Both from the fact the man was incredibly built. Tanned skin almost starched to the limit in order to cover that big hard muscles that covered his body. And there was also the fact that a huge box of gold cones, jewels, and priceless artifacts beside him.

"Ha ha, good job today you guys!" The muscular man, laughed in a harsh, deep, voice, as he grabbed a handful of the golden cones, with his large strong hands. "And here is your payment!" With a powerful toss, the cones and jewels scattered around the other members of the bandit team.

The group of bandits howled and shouted as they rose to catch the cones, and jewels. The bandit leader laughed harder as he grabbed another handful of cones and hurled it towards the cheering members of the bandit team.

Everyone was causing such a commotion and enjoying the moment, that none took notes of a small slim figure that passed though the gate and entered the bandit gangs hide out, that is until a huge...

*BOOM*

All the bandit member froze as a huge part of their inner fortress was blown to pieces. The bandit leader was the first to recover, he slowly turned to look at their attacker.

It was a girl (or is it a boy ^_^) at the age of about 15. The girl was beautiful, she has long silky raven hair that's tied up in a ponytail, a pair of bright deep drown eyes on her delicate face, and wore a big long white robe that went all the way down to her knees, with long loose sleeves that are tied with two jeweled talismans, along with a similar one around her delicate neck and slim waist. They were positive that the girl is a sorceress.

The wind blow around her as she stood, streaks of her silky hair flow loose from her ponytail and framed her face prettily, her robe fluttered as the wind blow across.

However, her eyes were cold, and her face was emotionless. Under the moon she looks like a goddess.

"Oh my god! It's the twin sister of that Justice Swords woman Meiran!" One of the members of the Bandits yelled as he recognized the girl.

One would be flattered to be recognized by the public. However, much to everyone's surprise the girl who's name is WuFei, winced at the "sister" part, not only that her left eye started to twitch in anger, her delicate face turned into a mask of fury. Slowly she placed her hands in front chest, a small glowing ball of fire started to form between them, within almost second, the ball became larger.

"I'M NOT A GIRL YOU GODDAMN IDIOTS!!!!!" The girl, er...I meant boy named WuFei, screamed as he throw the glowing fire ball towards the bandit that had just said he was a girl. "FIRE BALL!!!"

*BOOM* The bandit just turned into burnt toast.

All the bandits took a step back shocked, both by the display of power from the small fragile looking boy, and the fact that he is really a boy.

However, as soon as the young man showed his anger he immediate hides it again, as his delicate features went back to that emotionless frown, as he said coldly. "You have done harm to a village, destroyed innocent lives. That is not to be forgiven!"

All the bandits took a step back, fearing of what is to come as WuFei once again bright his hands in front of him...

"Fire ball!!" *BOOM* "Flare Arrow!!" *BOOM* "Lighting Bolt!!" *BOOM*...

Soon the fortress was light up by the fireworks of explosion, as well as black smokes, as it was exploded into pieces or burned down to the ground. All the bandits screamed and howled in pain as they all stumbled away out of the burning fortress, except for some unfortunate ones who were left.

WuFei with a small smiled appeared silently from the cloud of dusts as he walked gracefully towards the front of the bandit hide out, where the half burnt leader, and the box of treasure lay. He approached the box and took out a pouch, as he gathered all the treasure into the pouch. "Not bad for a day's work." he said in a quiet voice as he stood, lifted the pouch, and turned to look at the pitiful leader of the bandit as he weathered in pain on the ground. "You will not reveal any fact about me to anyone, and I advice you not to come after me, you will not like the result." With that warning WuFei turned and left.

*The next day*

WuFei pouted unhappily as he dragged the heavy bag of gold that he has just 'received' yesterday, as he tries to wonder out of this confusing forest. "Maybe, I should have went to get this after I figure out how to get out of here...*sign*"

Just then he felt something strange about the air around him, ever since he was young he was trained to be a sorcerer, but he has also been trained as a martial artist. With those practices, he has learned to identify different types auras. Not only was he surrounded and the ones he felt were not friendly.

With a fast spin, WuFei turned around, and saw one of the bandits from that bandit gang he just "Fire Balled" yesterday stood several feet away from him. And just like the rest of the bandits he was very muscular, dressed strangely, and very ugly looking.

"What do you want?" WuFei said in his soft quiet voice, as he looked up at the tall, macular man.

The man smiled a forced supposed friendly smile as he replied. "I'm here to talk about a deal with you."

WuFei didn't look amused, "Not here to fight me?"

"Oh no, of course not!" The Man said hurriedly as he waved his arms around and once again giving that fake smile, "I'm not here to fight you because I know you can kick my butt in two seconds!"

WuFei let himself a small smile, he knew the man was lying and had some other idea in mind, but that statement was quite true. "Maybe your not as dumb as you look."

Seeing that the small sorcerer was not mad, the man started to say more. "You know what, we were so surprised that a boy like you would be able to attack our fortress. We knew that your sister was a really powerful fighter, and the rumor was that a she has a sister, who was suppose to be a sorceress of some sort. We never knew that you were a boy! I must apologize for that, but we can see why they though you were a girl though!! Your very pretty, so pretty that your girlish looking!! Ha ha ha!!" The man started to laugh.

WuFei sweat dropped, [never mind that guy is stupid as he looks] he thought to himself as he prepared himself from the fight he know that is to come. "So, what is that deal you wish to make with me? I do not have much time to waste on likes of you."

"Well," The man replied, "As you know, there is a great deal of our man right?"

WuFei nodded, unimpressed.

"And because as you knew you blew up our fortress." The man continued, "We are not very pleased about that. The rest of our team are planing to ambush you. However, we decided to make it easer for the both of us, if you give us back 70% of our treasurers we are willing to let you go. So, do we have a deal?"

WuFei looked calmly at him as he answered. "No."

"Why you little bitch!!" The man hissed as he lost his smile and patience, and yelled in outrage. "I offered you a deal that at least you'll keep some money, but you refuse! Fine die then! Guys attack!!"

WuFei smiled softly as once again as he kept his calm and put his hands in ready position for casting a spell. Soon after the yell, a huge number of bandits rushed forward to attack, holding many different kinds of weapons swords, arrows and many you can't even recognize.

Not at all amused by the number of members or the weapons, WuFei stood his ground calmly as he held up his hands up into the air to fire ball, when suddenly a voice interrupted him.

"Hold it!" A male voice called out from the outside of the circle the bandits had made. "threatening a small girl, now that is uncalled for!!"

All the bandits turned in surprise to face their new opponent.

It was a young warrior with bright violet eyes, long brown hair tied up in a braid. Just like WuFei, he is also at the age of about 15, however is noticeably taller than the small sorcerer. The young warrior is dressed in a set of black armors, which was rather odd, since not many warriors dressed all black like this one. However, what's most noticeable about this warrior was in his hands he held big black handled scythe. All together, he looked like a death god. Though he is smiling appearance was the quite opposite of that.

"Lets get the little punk boys!!" The bandit that lead the attackers of WuFei screamed as they rushed to wards the young warrior, thinking nothing of the young warrior.

Much to the bandits' surprise. The warrior didn't look worried at all as he just stood there until the team of bandits closed in. Then he suddenly grabbed scythe and swung it high into the air then sliced it down onto one of the bandits. Sickening sound of bones being crashed was heard as it connected with the back of the bandit's head. The poor bandit went down coughing up blood, and was dead before he even hit the ground. With that movement, the warrior speed up, his movements became a blur as the sounds of the bandit team screaming in pain echoed in the forest. Soon, the warrior's dance of death ended as half of the bandit team members lay dead at his feet. The rest of the members screamed in terror as they stumbled away.

WuFei paled at the gruesome sight, true he has killed also, but that doesn't mean that he likes it. And this was a lot more bloodily then any of his kills. He looked up to see what the warrior was doing, unafraid. he feel sick at what had just happened, but that doesn't mean that he would be horrified, after all he was a very skilled sorcerer.

The young warrior turned to WuFei and smiled, slowly he walked over to the small sorcerer. The girl in front of him was beautiful he noted, her soft silky black hair pulled back in a ponytail, though several strands escaped, and framed her delicate face that seems to remain cold and emotionless. However, the large dark brown eyes showed a thousand emotions. [Too bad I'm in to guys, or I'd fall for her right now. Wonder if I could make her smile.] The young warrior thought to himself before asking "Why are you in this forest little girl? Don't you know that it's dangerous here?"

WuFei shivered slightly as the warrior walked towards him. The young warrior was now holding a blood drenched scythe, a gentle smile on his beautiful face, in all ways he looked sexy to WuFei. WuFei could not believe he was having such thoughts, to another male no less.

[No! How can you think in such way?!] his mind yelled at him.
[He did save you, you know. And he didn't even know who you really are!] another part of his mind argued with him.

[Oh, great, so now I'm some kind of damsel in distress. I didn't even need help! Plus not many people know who I really was anyway!] the logical part of his mind argued back.

[Your so in denial.]

Suddenly, the voice of his savior stopped his train of thoughts. However, as soon as he heard words that was spoken from beautiful warrior's mouth, the romantic mood was all gone he felt the heat of anger take over. [Just great, mistaken for a girl again. Who does he think he is?! To tell the truth, he looks like a girl himself!!] He let himself taken on a more angered frown.

The warrior took note of the change of the girl's frown and looked closer, just then he acknowledged the difference. [Shit, he's not a girl. But, god, he's just too pretty!] The warrior thought to himself as he looked closer to the small sorcerer. He felt his heart go thump thump, this beautiful boy was truly breath taking, and he knew that he was falling, and can do nothing to stop it. However, he figured he better apologize first. "Aww man, you're a guy aren't you? Man, that was bad! Sorry about that, My name is Duo a traveling warrior. You?"

WuFei couldn't help but give a small and rare smile to his cute savior, "My name is WuFei. Traveling sorcerer."

"Really?" Duo looked surprised, "Are you traveling alone? It's really dangerous out in the world you know. Hey, I got an idea why don't we travel together! I can be your bodyguard or something, you seems to need one. I've got nothin' better to do anyway. Why are you traveling anyway?"

WuFei looked at Duo for a moment deciding if he could trust Duo to tell him the truth. True, he was a bit mad at Duo for assuming that he needed a bodyguard, but having this beautiful warrior to keep him company didn't seem to be a bad idea. The warrior seems to be friendly, maybe a little too talkative...no, the friendliness and all he just displayed probably just a mask, just like his own.

Oh, WuFei knew about masks, he wore one almost all his life, but somehow, something in this young warrior's bright violet eyes told him that he could be trusted. Maybe, it was because WuFei was lonely, but there was something else...

[Well, I guess just telling him won't be too bad, it's not like he can harm me or something]

"I'm looking for the (1)Heaven Knife and Destiny Sword." came the quite response.
Duo looked surprised, "Wow," he said looking at the smaller boy in awe, "Those are powerful weapons. I've heard of people trying to find them and use them, but no one's ever found them. Plus I heard that you needed some kind of spell book to learn how to use them."

WuFei nodded his head, "So, you have some knowledge of ancient weapons." WuFei's face still motionless and cool as he looked at Duo.

Duo nodded proudly, "Of course! I've had a teacher that taught me the basics of different ancient weaponry, spell books!"

WuFei looked at Duo in the eye, and seems to be deciding before giving the replying. "Very well, you may accompany me on this journey, if you wish." With that he turned and walked ahead. However, after a few paces, he noticed that Duo's presence was not with him. Turning his head and looking back. He saw Duo looking at him strangely. Not knowing what to say he just asked, "Well, are you coming?"

Duo stared at the strange sorcerer for a moment, before starting to catch up, after he was near the young sorcerer, he decided to speak his mind. "You have an awfully big ego don't you?"

WuFei shot him a glare before continued walking, hoping that glare will shout Duo up.

"Hey come on! Don't be so cold!" much to WuFei's annoyance, the glare didn't work and Duo didn't stop talking. "You should smile more! Didn't you know that you were so cute when you smile before you introduced yourself! It would be a sham to see such a beautiful face in a frown all the time!"

WuFei froze as his face suddenly heated up for Duo comments saying that he was cute. His cheeks suddenly felt hot and before he knew it he was blushing. WuFei turned his head as fast as he could to hide that factor, but not fast enough and was caught by Duo's quick eyes.

"Your blushing! That's so Kawai!!!" Duo said that to tease the small sorcerer, but, it wasn't a lie. The look on the small sorcerer when blushing was just too adorable. Duo felt his heart skipping beats, just at the thought that he was the one that cost the beautiful boy blush.

WuFei felt embarrassed, he wanted stuff his fist into Duo's face just to shout him up. But as he looked up into the other young man's face and saw the sweet smile, bright violet eyes shining with happiness. WuFei felt his heart melt, and didn't have the heart harm the young warrior anymore. So, he settled with enjoying having Duo's company, as they continued their journey. [maybe this journey won't be so bad after all...]

*****
(2)Meanwhile somewhere in a darkened room, there was a man sitting in midair, his face and body hidden in shadows. All that was visible was the man's silhouette. And front of the man was many glowing crystals of different color and shape, all pf them were hovering in midair glowing softly.

Suddenly, two of the crystals glowed in two blinding lights, as they floated upward. One was purplish black, the other was brilliant green. A moment later one red stings have appeared from each of the crystals, and was expanded towards each other, then stopped just as they touched as if waiting to be connected.

The man was startled and had floated back several paces as the two crystals started to glow, but he soon calmed and looked at the two red strings before smiling gently and silently announced. "Child of Death, and Child of The Dragon Angel, your fate is now linked." With that, he stretched out his hands and tied the two strings together with gentle fingers.

Both crystals glowed brighter as soon as the stings are attached and floated closer to each other as if in happiness. And the man's smile widened at the matching of the two heaven children

In the back however, someone hidden in the shadows was not as happy at the connection of the two heaven children. The creature's eyes glowed in an malice red light and made an dark snarl, he turned and vanished in thin air, leaving one cruel sentence behind. "The Child of Death and Child of The Dragon Angel must be separated, their fate must change."

Be Continued...

1: The idea of the weapons are taken from a Chinese fantasy novel, changed the names though. The swords are suppose to be very powerful ancient weapons, by possessing one of the two weapons could give you great power, and there is a book for each of the weapons to teach you how to use the weapons to their full potential. The novel revolved around the search for the two swords. Some parts of the novel might be similar to this fanfic.

2: In one of old Chinese legend, it was said that there is an old man that controlled the pairing of lovers and soul-mates, he always carried with him the red strings which represented different people. If he connect your sting with another's then that person will be your soul-mate. There was a little story that goes with this, but I'm not gonna write it here, if you wanna know then tell me.
