Scar of a Hero
By:War Prince Nataku
Chapter 4: Shinobi
It was about ten months after Bulma's party and Pan had not seen the boy since.She was getting bored just sitting around the house and went outside to get some fresh air./Man,It's dull here/Pan thought,/I'm gonna go walk around in the woods/
She had been wandering around for about an hour when she suddenly realised that she was lost.She looked back the way she came.Nothing but forest.She looked ahead of her.Nothing.
/What will I do?I'll never get back/
Just then,she heard something.It was music,but it was unlike anything she had everheard before.And there was a man's voice singing.
"You are here,not again.
in your sweet insanity.
I'll devide life itself from reality.
Do you want solitude?
Do you want liminity?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely"
Pan did not understand what the lyrics ment,but she loved the way he was singing.And the instument he was playing sounded lovely.She just had to meet him!She followed his voice through the forest.
"The feilds are filled with desire.
A voice is crying for freedom.
But all in vain,they just fade away.
If only you do answer too, forever"
She was getting closer.She realized that whatever instument he was playing sounded a little like a violin.She kept running towards the beautiful song.
"In my design you are singing,
A glorious Halleuja.
The distant grounds of lost angels.
But all you'll find it's too far to reach for you"
The sea of trees had ended!Pan had come upon a large clearing that ended in a tall,steep cliff.In the middle of the clearing was an aincient church with huge colorful windows.And,leaning against the side of the church,was a young man with long,black hair and a white mask dressed a black Japanese clothes.He was playing an intrument that looked like a hand harp without strings.Instead,there was a glowing ball of white light where the strings should have been.She hid behind a tree and waited for him to finish his song.
"I am here,not again.
In my sweet serenity.
Hoping you will never find me in anyplace.
I belong in solitude.
Where all my songs are made in vain.
Let my voice float away to be drifting"
The man finished his song and looked in the direction of where Pan was hiding.She tried to make herself as small as possible so he diddn't see her.But all in vain.
"You there!"he said,"Don't be afraid.I won't hurt you"
Pan somehow knew he was telling the truth.She left her safe hiding place and walked slowly over to the masked man./Great!He saw me spying on him!What'll I do/
When she finally made it over to him,he said,"Now that wasn't so hard,was it"
"N-no sir,it wasn't!"she said nervously.
The man laughed."You don't have to call me 'Sir',I'm not that much older than you"
"You're not?"Pan looked at his face,or,rather,his mask and noticed three markings on it.Two scar-like markings,one long one across his entire face and a smaller one over his right eye.The two cuts formed an 'X' on the right side of his face.The third marking was the symbol for Omega flipped up-side-down with a dot in the center colored deep blue.
"No,I'm not."the man said,distracting Pan from examining his mask further."I'm only about 18"
"Wow!You're only three years older than me"
"Told you."He put out his hand.Pan noticed a shackle on his wrist,but did not ask about it."I'm Shinobi.And you are"
"My name's Pan."She shook his hand."That was a beautiful song you were singing"
"Yes.It is the only thing I can remember."he said.
"What do you mean 'the only thing you can remember?'"Pan asked.
"I only remember the past year of my life.I remember waking up and seeing my dad and another man.I've been living with my father untill about six months ago.After I left,I found this place.This church has been abandoned for a long time and it's miles from any kind of civilization"
"You live in this old church"
"Not realy.It's locked."Shinobi said.
"Oh..."She sat down beside him.Then she suddenly jumped to her feet,startling Shinobi.
"Oh crap!!"she yelled,"If I don't get back home,my parents are gonna kill me"
He laughed."You should get going then,huh?"he said.
"But what about you?"Pan was afraid she'd never see him again.
As if reading her mind,he said,"Don't worry.You can come back here any time you want"
"Thanks,Shinobi!"She waved goodbye and flew off to find her way home.
/Just as I remember./he thought.
Shinobi looked to his right.On the spot on the ground where he looked,a small red imp apeared.It flaped it's wings menicingly and lunged for Shinobi.He put a hand in front of him and blasted the imp.It disintegrated.
"Their coming."he said to himself."And they'll bring Hell with them."

I just want to say,I did not make up the words to that song.All the credit goes to whoever made the music for .HackSign.Sorry,I forgot her name.It took me forever to figure out what she was saying and I'm pretty sure I have some of the lines all wrong.That's what I heard so that's what I wrote.
