Disclaimer-- I'm fairly new to this whole "disclaimer" thing, but this I do know. I have to proclaim the fact that I do NOT own any of these characters and that they are just 2 dimensional figures in my imagination (some of them 3D, and some of them C+-D if that's even a word... yeah). I am using them for a non-profit reason: To help me sleep at night

Prologue

In the year 2045, Scientists discovered the power of nuclear war weapons and weapons of mass destruction and decided to put them to use in Iraq. Sadly enough, they "accidentally" went to war with the rest of the world causing an extremely devastating event that would change the world forever: World War III. Not much is really known about what happened between then, and now, but we do know that almost all the Anime world from everywhere and anywhere were gone, leaving their characters to roam around the only city left, Tokyo. All the magic from those worlds was sealed away in their weapons, which of who's whereabouts are unknown at this time. The War was started when the Emperor was killed and the Great Lord took over. The secret under cover Tsugaru Clan was working for the Great Lord and had been loyal to him the whole time. But the Emperor's loyal samurai of the Shinsengumi-ni did not agree with what the Great Lord had planned, but they had no choice in the matter. So, the fate of Tokyo and the rest of the world lies in one man's hands…

Chapter 1

Tokyo, Japan1:34 AM

Ahiru ran down the rainy streets of Tokyo, his black leather cape trailing behind him. His hood was held tight on his head by a leather clip fastened around his neck, so that his face could not bee seen. He turned a quick corner, only to run into a man with blond hair and a huge sword slung across his back.

"Ah! Gomenasai!" Ahiru said with a bow.

"Watch where you're going, punk," the man said as he hoisted his gigantic sword back onto his back and walked past Ahiru. Ahiru stared at the man as he walked past. He seemed to carry a strange aura of magic, as though it had been from another world. Quickly remembering what he had been doing, Ahiru turned around and saw 4 men in black coats chasing after him and yelling foreign words. He frivolously flipped his cape to the side, reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny key chain in the shape of a tiny sword, uttered some words, and the key chain turned into a full, double sided blade, glowing with shiny white crystals embedded in the handle.

Ahiru turned to face the men and within 2 minutes, all of them lay lifeless on the newly soaked streets of Tokyo. Drunken men wandered the streets, but no one suspicious or carrying a demonic aura, except for one exceptionally strong one coming from one of the men Ahiru had just killed.

Ahiru walked over to him and kicked back the dead man's hood to reveal the face of a man with short, white hair and pointed ears. Ahiru gasped, "An Elf!" He quickly kneeled down and reached into the elf's jacket and found the necklace of the Tsugaru clan. He yanked on it, breaking the clasp, took one more glance at the man with white hair, then walked calmly away.

He turned another corner to find his motorcycle right where he'd left it. He got on and pulled back his hood to reveal shoulder length, jet-black hair with blood red highlights in it. He threw back his head and ran his fingers through his hair, then stopped and looked to the right, down the alley. A can fell out of a nearby dumpster and clanged on the ground as it hit, then rolled into a puddle.

"Nazo! What are you doing here?" Ahiru asked, angrily. Giggles were heard behind the dumpster, then, as if out of nowhere, a girl with long brown hair and a pink ribbon tied around her head to make her bangs stick out more, stepped into the street lamp's light. Her tight purple tank top matched her black coat with purple stitching and her shorts were, well, let's just say an "acceptable" length, that matched her pink shoes.

"Why do you think? I knew you were coming. My mignons told me. So, of course, I just had come and see what you were up to." Her yellow eyes flashed as she stepped closer to her brother.

Ahiru snapped his goggles on and flipped his phone open to check for any calls.

"Just let it go, alright? It's none of your business anyway. I only need one more… item before I can open the door. You're just making my job harder by following me around, so stop. It's none of your business and you don't know how dangerous this really is."

"Well I would if you'd just let me!"

"No! There's no need for you! I have all of this under control. Just let it go, alright?" Ahiru put his hood back up and threw one last glance at his sister, and then disappeared in a flash of white light.

It had begun to rain a little bit again, then a little harder. Nazo stood under the single streetlight for a minute, then walked away.

NOTES FROM THE AUTHOR! (Me! )

1) The Tsugaru Clan isn't really a clan at all. Completely made up actually. It's name actually originated from a DDR song that I enjoy quite a bit. Hey! I had to have some sort of Asian Sounding name!

2) Ok. You know Squall from Final Fantasy VIII? Imagine that with red highlights. That's what Ahiru looks sort of like……mmm… he's delish!

3) The line about opening the door? Yes. I stole this line from Kingdom Hearts.

4) Japanese terms: If you haven't caught onto the fact that people's names are VERY odd, it's because they all have a subtle Japanese meaning to them. Their direct translations are as follows:

Ahiru: Duck

Nazo: Puzzle

I'll update other names when more characters are introduced.
