Spawn: A Hikaru Gosukungi Story

The End of the Beginning

Disclaimer: I do not own, or claim ownership of the characters in my piece of fanfiction, they belong to thier respective owner(s). Except Genji and Kiyoko, they're mine.

Oh, please, could you tell me if I spelt Gosukungi right? Also, I'm supposing Gos is 17 in this fic.



The day was bleary in Nerima, and the grounds of Furinkan High were nearly deserted, except for the camera club meeting, which Gos was Vice- President of. A "Meeting dismissed" sent the members out into the streets.

Hikaru walked out onto the sidewalk. He pondered for a moment about his new powers. "Maybe i should start to train using these.....powers..heck, might even become a super hero" He chuckled to himself. "Ah, looks like things are about to start getting bet--" He was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a young woman's scream. "Well, me and my big mouth" He thought bitterly as he broke out into a run towards the scream.

Hikaru started to think. "I really should turn into something" He flipped though a list in his mind "Man in a trenchcoat.. no" He rounded another corner as the scream rang out again, and ran faster. "Samurai....no, way to kuno-esque, wait.....I know!"

Anyone watching would have greeted by the sight of a boy turning into a man in a dark costume. He turned a corner, his long, tattered red cape billowing behind him, attached by two metal skulls.

Hikaru ran down the street, his mask covering his face, and the costume running down his arms. He jumped up, seeing if his powers would make him jump higher. He did. He decided to hop roof to roof, following the sound of the scream.

**********************

In an alley, a young woman was backing away into a corner, which was away from the three men that were chasing her earlier. There were three of them, one was 6 ft tall, an intimidating height in Japan. The second was about 5 ft tall, and burlier than the first. The 3rd one was the shortest, and was a midget, who was 3 ft tall. The short one grinned evilly and in a menacing voice said "Hey boys, looks like we're gonna have some fun."

Above the same exact alley, a certain man in black was watching, his anger rising. "Those bastards" he thought, his face contorting to one of rage. and after the short man's words, he jumped down without a moment of hesitastion.

Kiyoko was backed into a corner, and after what the short man said, a flash of black and red came down upon the medium sized thug. She felt a flood of relief wash over her as she watched the dark figure in black pummel the thugs.

As Hikaru landed on one thug, he grinned inwardly as he heard a crunch. He twisted around and gave a kick to the tall thug in the stomach. the thug grunted, and fell back, dazed. Gos felt something slam into the back of his head. he turned around to see the short man holding a pipe. "you shouldn't play rough.." Hikaru said as he grinned to himself "..Someone might get HURT!" he grabbed the pipe and pulled. The end result of that should of been real cool looking if he did that right.

But it wasn't.

The thug let go of the pipe, and let it hit Gosukungi in the head. "Damnnit" Hikaru thought as he fell back, dazed. He felt the tall thug come near, and swung out blindly, hoping to catch him. The thug fell down to the ground in a pile, the blow to his crotch to much to stand. Hikaru, gathering his bearings looked for the short thug, saw him running off. "Not worth my time, he thought. He turned to look at the girl. She had long, light blue hair and emerald green eyes, she was slender too. "Are you okay" he asked as he made eye contact with her.

"..." was all he got from the still frightened woman.

"Well, you really should be going now" He said trying to break the silence. He was about to turn around, but instead looked at her. "Take this" He said a he threw a small aerosal can out.

With that, he left.

Kiyoko turned the small can around in her hand. Labeled on in kanji, said 'Pepper Spray'. "she looked into the night. "Thank you, whoever you are".

Hikaru ran out into the night, hopping roofs. "Man, my parents are gonna be pissed when I get back home" He grimiced to himself as he jumped into the street, transforming as he did so.

An old man grumbled to himself as a thud on the roof shook his house. "Damn roof-hoppers" He complained as he turned a page in his book. "Well honey, at least they didn't yell about that boy, Ranma Saotome this time." said his wife from her spot in the seat across from him.

Hikaru laid on his bed, pondering the events of the night. "Hm.... maybe I really should consider becoming a super hero" thinking about the girl he he rescued, he came to a conclusion. "That girl was cute". And with that, he fell peacefully asleep, a vision of the girl he rescued dancing in his dreams



Ah, well, next chapter things will be answered, such as: who is Kiyoko, and what is this training Gos is thinking of? Ah, well, those will be answered in the next chapter.
