Shadow Hearts Fanfic

Chapter 1: The bad ending but new beginning

"Alice!" Yuri called, running into the infirmary, "What happened to her!"

"She's in a coma. She may never pull through." The doctor said nodding and leaving the room "I'll leave you alone."

"Alice…I failed…failed to protect you. Forgive me." Yuri said dropping to his knees, "This is all happening again! Damn those spirits…why…why did you sell your soul to save me? WHY!"

Suddenly, his talisman that kept track of his malice shown brightly. Yuri let out a cry and gripped his head. Wings sprout from his back, he had transformed into the Seraphic Radiance. Something was different. He couldn't control the power, he couldn't control anything. All Yuri remembered was a flash then it was black.

Graveyard

"Why did you take her soul?" Yuri asked the masks, "Damn you ALL!"

"Now, now…" The sword mask said, "We only took what belonged to us. The girl you once knew as Alice is dead. She made a pack with us to save you, you should feel honored."

"Screw you! You took the only thing precious to me, away from me!" Yuri cracked his knuckles, "You all will die!"

"Ho, Ho, Ho!" The Grail mask stated, "You'll have to do it later. You're waking up!"

"What!" Yuri questioned but before they could answer, he was gone.

Waking up…

"Uhh….Ugghh…" Yuri groaned opening his eyes slowly. He slowly pushed himself to his feet, feeling immense pain in his chest area; he gripped it causing him to fall backwards.

"The hell?" Yuri questioned looking around. Nothing seemed familiar. Everything seemed happy and full of life. The trees, the people passing by, even the houses and streets looked cheerful all in a different style then he remembered. "Where am I?"

"You okay mister?" A little girl asked stepping up to Yuri holding a teddy bear, "Are you lost?"

"You could say that…" Yuri stated looking down at the girl, "I'm fine. Who are you anyway?"

"Alice…" The little girl said smiling, "My name is Alice."

"Alice…" Yuri muttered crossing his arms, "I…see."

"Well, don't be frightened. You're in the city of Ottawa! I'm sure you'll find your way!" Alice said cheerfully.

"Ottawa..?" Yuri questioned but before the little girl could answer she could hear a faint call.

"I have to go…bye mister!" The little girl said running to her mother.

"Ottawa…I'm not in England anymore…" Yuri muttered. Suddenly, he heard a girl scream from a distance away. He took off after the scream.

"You know the routine, why fight us?" A tough looking guy asked, "You thought you could humiliate us and get away without a beating!"

"You…deserved it Ron! You jerk!" The girl spat at Ron's face, "I'm not afraid of you!"

"Well…how bout we take more then a few beatings this time, eh Rena?" Ron asked snapping his fingers and two of the four boys advanced on her. She was able to kick one and pushed the other away, "Humph!"

He raised his fists and struck Rena in the stomach causing her to fall to her knees and spit up blood.

"HEY! Don't you know it's not nice to hit a lady?" Yuri called walking up to the boys.

"And who are you? What business do you have with that bitch?" Ron asked turning to the side to kind of point at Rena.

/Great…what do I say? Maybe they won't touch her if…/ Yuri thought for a moment then spoke aloud.

"That bitch is my woman and I'll be damned before I let you touch her again!" Yuri said cracking his neck and knuckles.

"I didn't hear Rena had a boyfriend?" One of Ron's men asked aloud.

"Neither did I. Oh well, get him!" Ron ordered as the three guys charged at Yuri. Yuri raised his fists. He punched one, punched the second and side kicked the third, all of which flew back simultaneously. "Uh…Uh…You're not worth it!"

Ron and his goons ran off leaving Yuri and Rena alone.

"I could've said the same too you" Yuri said walking up to Rena, "Hey you okay?"

By this time Rena was already unconscious from the blow and lying on the ground.

"Heh…passed out already? Hmm…maybe I should take my pay back now…" Yuri muttered, grinning and looking the figure up and down. He shook the perverted thoughts from his mind and lifted the girl up across his arms. He carried her to a near by bench and lay her on it.

"Guess I'll wait till you wake up…" Yuri stated, sitting in front of the bench, "Wish I knew where I was."

He looked up. The sun was shining brightly, brighter then he's ever seen it. He sighed. Alice…that little girl did look like her, only younger. Where was he? How was he going to get home to Alice's side? These were the thoughts shifting endlessly in his head.

"Uh…" Rena muttered shaking her head. Yuri immediately stood up and turned to face her, "What…happened?"

"You got knocked out by a bunch of creeps. You okay now?" Yuri stated, finishing with a question of concern.

"Uh…yeah." Rena slowly rose up and nodded, "Did you…save me?"

"Yep! Now you owe me!" Yuri said crossing his arms, "Why were they picking on you?"

"…I humiliated them at school. I always do. They pick on the younger students. I had to do something." Rena said nodding, "My name's Rena by the way."

"I'm Yuri." Yuri stated, "Well, I was trying to figure out why they would want to beat up a pretty girl like you…now I see why Rena."

"Pretty? Me…? No way." Rena shook her head and stood up.

"Hey, don't deny it!" Yuri said waving his hand, "You should accept it anyway. Coming from me that may be the last compliment you hear!"

"Well…thank you." Rena said nodding, "So, you from around here?"

"…Not…exactly" Yuri said sitting on the bench beside where she stood, "Can you tell me something?"

"Sure." Rena said sitting beside him, "What is it?"

"Where am I?" Yuri asked, turning to the side, "Like, what country am I in? What's the year…the month…the date…?"

"Where are you! Do you have amnesia?" Rena asked, "Well, you're in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The year is 2005. The month and date are October 28th. Anything else?"

"2005!" Yuri asked shockingly. /I was…sent to the future/ Yuri thought/No wonder I didn't recognize anything! They probably don't have a war going on or anything…why…why did my power send me here/

"Yeah…why…thought it was 1900's or something?" Rena giggled but noticed Yuri's reaction was serious, "I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"…Fine." Yuri stated, "You see, I think I do have…err…ameny…amenis…uh…"

"Amnesia?" Rena corrected but in an asking tone.

"Yeah. So I kind of don't remember anything…" Yuri said scratching his head. /Can't exactly tell her I'm from the past…it'd freak her out/ he thought.

"Oh…" Rena stood up and stood in front of him holding out a hand, "How bout I repay you then?"

"Really!" Yuri said standing up, "So where too? I don't exactly know where the hotel is…"

"What on Earth are you talking about?" Rena asked shaking her head, "No. I'll help you out until you get your memory back"

"Oh…" Yuri said disappointedly but then nodded, "Thanks."

"What did you think I meant?" Rena asked.

"Err…nothing." Yuri said scratching his head, "So where too?"

"How bout we go to my apartment? My parents died when I was young so I live with my brother…he looks after me" Rena said, "I'm sure you can stay there until you get your memory back and life straightened out. You'll probably have to sleep on the couch"

"Oh…guess I can't sleep with you eh?" Yuri asked aloud.

"Of course not!" Rena snapped crossing her arms, "Don't kid."

"Sorry." Yuri said, "Well, lead the way."

"Besides," Rena winked, "My brother would shoot you. He IS a cop"

"Cop eh?" Yuri asked and followed Rena.

Walking…

"So Yuri…you don't remember anything?" Rena asked since they were in silence for awhile.

"Notta thing." Yuri answered. He lied of course; he did know everything just nothing about this time. /Maybe she could help me out…/ he thought.

"That's...sad…" Rena said, "But some times, I wish I could forget…"

"Forget what?" Yuri asked but Rena shook her head.

"Nothing…" She answered.

"So…you're really going to help me out? Just like that? Aren't you afraid I might hurt you or something?" Yuri asked.

"Yes of course I'll help you. You helped me. And I already checked," Rena said turning around, "I know you don't have any weapons on you…"

"What are you talking about? I AM a weapon" Yuri said proudly.

"Uh huh. I see you can still remember your male cockiness." Rena said turning back around.

"Ouch." Yuri said, "You got something against men?"

"…No. But…" Rena began, "Every guy I went out with used me so…"

"So…?" Yuri asked.

"…I rather date women." Rena said.

"Huh?" Yuri questioned.

"I'm bisexual." Rena stated, "I used to date men but they never treated me right so now I date women. Makes sense?"

"I…guess…" Yuri said. /Never met a lesbian…/ Yuri thought/No…I always run into gay guys…/

"Why did you shudder just now?" Rena asked.

"I never met a lesbian before. Only gay men." Yuri said.

"I'm bisexual! And oh! Are you gay?" Rena asked.

"HELL NO!" Yuri snapped, "They come on to me!"

"You didn't have to get so upset…" Rena giggled, "But I can see why they try. You'd be quite a catch."

"I guess I should take that as a compliment" Yuri stated.

"Yeah. Coming from me that may be the last compliment you hear" Rena mimicked.

"Heh." Yuri said, "Is this it?"

"Yep. Home sweet home." Rena said walking up the stairs to her apartment number 234, "Don't forget the number."

"Why?" Yuri asked.

"I'll give you a spare key so you can come in and out anytime." Rena said, "Come on in."

End of Chapter 1.

So how was it? Not bad eh. Yeah I know I left off at a bad spot. Thing is, this is technically just an introduction. Yes, Rena probably will be a mery sue, although, I am not a lesbian or bisexual. Well…some people think I'm bisexual. ; I am now currently playing Shadow Hearts Covenant so bare with me. This takes place after Shadow Hearts when you get the bad ending but Covenant never happened in this fic. Don't worry, Yuri will fuse more in the future R&R and absolutely NO FLAMES! Shadow Hearts is my favourite game, so I don't need to hear it. I know as much or more then anyone on Shadow Hearts and I know the things Yuri says he would say so don't lecture me. But I will however, will allow anyone who's interested to edit this story grammatically. Just review stating you're interested.
