Normally, you'd think that someone as old as Anubis was would be living
on their own by now; earning a living, and supporting themselves. However
Wepwawet-Yinepu "Anubis" was far from that point. He often laughed at
himself for being the age he was, and still relying on his parents for
support. He was around seven feet tall (give or take an inch or two) with
almost-black fur and the lightest blue eyes any one person had ever seen.
His full name was Wepwawet-Yinepu, but most people just called him Anubis.
He had a quite unusual job; weighing the hearts of the deceased on a scale to the feather of Ma'at. If their heart was lighter than the feather, and free of sin, the person would pass on to a happy eternity in the afterlife. If their heart were too heavy with sin, their heart would be tossed to the monster Ammit (or 'Ukie' as Anubis called him) and then they would spend an eternity of depression and misery in the underworld-kingdom of his uncle, Set. This may sound like very unpleasant work, but Anubis enjoyed it very much. He got to see all kinds of people go in and out, and he never knew who he would meet next. But, that's what he did for a living; Anubis- Jackal-headed god of death. It may not sound too warm and fuzzy, but Anubis was probably the friendliest one there.
His father, Osiris, who employed him, had him with his Aunt Nephthys. However, his wife is Isis, an Anubis had always considered her to be his real mother. Osiris was never very nice to Anubis. He often yelled at him and called him 'A worthless piece of dirty shoe leather,' and a 'lowly worm.' He was forced to sleep in a closet-sized bedroom with no windows, and even worse, no cable hookup; not to mention the constant threat of being fired for being a 'lazy, lowly worm.'
Though this didn't bother him as much as you may think it did. Anubis would pass his time by sitting in the gold-metal chair by his television set (the one without cable hookup) and spend long hours looking into other worlds. He found watching the digital world most interesting. There was always something exciting happening there. Whether it was Etemon attacking small Digimon, or kids fighting off evil monsters, he always found his peace watching. Occasionally, he'd look into the human world, and watch the small children. He'd talk to the ones who were lost, and longed to help guide them on their way, but he knew they couldn't hear him.
One day he was sitting in his chair, feeling especially 'lowly' and was looking in on a new human. He watched as a woman whose face was covered in a cloth, lay a baby girl out in a field, and simply left; abandoning her. He could feel the pupils of his eyes tighten.
"How could she…?" Anubis thought out loud, "She's so small…she'll never make it." He kept a close watch over her, and turned on the television set often to see if she was still alright. She sat in the grassy field for almost a whole day, until some wandering tourists found her; a man and a woman of about 24 and 32. He gave a sigh of relief and plopped himself on the rickety old cot, which was his bed, and kept watching as they carried her away. That poor girl, Anubis though, She'll never have parents. I know just how she feels…totally abandoned and alone. He stood and faced the screen.
"Don't worry," he said softly, "If no one will look over you, I will. I always will."
The man and the woman picked up the little girl laying in the grass, wrapped up in a blanket. The man looked all around, but there was no one in sight. She was completely alone. They whispered in words that the small girl could not understand. She felt uneasy when the man held her, and started to cry. Despite how much she screamed and cried, they wouldn't let her go. The carried her to their strange automobile, and drove away with her. They drove for many hours, over the grassy fields of the mountains, and into a large city. When they arrived, she was sound asleep. The car pulled up in front of a large building with a sign that read:
"Odaiba Childrens' Home"
The man reached into the blanket in which she was wrapped, and pulled out a card. It read: Xhira Von Siris- 2 months. Please take care of me.
The woman sighed as she took the baby from the man. She wanted to take care of the little girl, but didn't have the money. The girl began to cry again, because she was scared. Though somewhere deep within her fear, she felt a sense of safety. She closed her small eyes, and stopped crying.
"I'll take care of you…I always will…" she heard a voice whisper in her ear. She was to young to know what these words meant, but it gave her comfort.
When the woman got inside there was an elderly lady sitting at a big desk.
"Are you dropping this one off?" She said, lowering her small round glasses.
"Yes, I am. We found her…in a field up in the mountains. There was no one there." She replied.
"Does it have a name?" The older lady made the word 'it' stick out as if the child were diseased.
"It's a she" the woman said handing the child to her, "The note said that her name is Xhira; Xhira Von Siris."
"Well…Xhira?" The old lady sneered, "That a rather…odd name for a child, now isn't it?" Again, she made the word 'odd' stick out.
The woman just remained quiet and bit her lower lip.
"I'll need you to fill out these forms," the older woman said, handing Xhira over to one of her co-workers, "and an explanation of why you need to leave it here." The woman took the paper and pen out of her hand, and went into an office to fill out forms.
As the co-worker carried Xhira down the hall, she fell back to sleep; but not so soon as she heard the words that she'd remember for the rest of her life.
"You will do great things in your life, young Xhira…here and in the digital world," the unfamiliar voice whispered in her ear, in the strange language that she did not understand, "Someday…you will be the star of all Usekh- Nemmt…" Then she drifted off to sleep.
Did you like the first chapter??? If you didn't…TOO BAD. Because I have the entire plot set out. I know this chapter was a bit…eh, sappy, but you'll see where it goes( Yes, Tai IS a big part of this story, to answer your question. I write these things COMPLETELY out of order. These are actually the series of first-parts to all my other fics( (A/N: Yes…you guessed it! My pen name IS after the character Xhira. I just have that name because I RP as her soooooo much.) New chapter should be uploaded within 2 days! Please R&R!!! I LOVE FLAMERS! I USED THEM TO BBQ SAUSAGES!!! So, to put it simply: All Flames Welcome! (So just review me already!!!)
