Chapter 1: Unto this World the Child of the Phoenix Came

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, aus.

Alle warten auf das Licht
fürchtet euch fürchtet euch nicht
die Sonne scheint mir aus den Augen
sie wird heut Nacht nicht untergehen
und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn.

The sun glittered over the "Village" of the Hidden Leaf serenely, but not was quite in place. A stranger of many oddities moved through the village, sword of monstrous almost akin to that of the Kubikiri Houcho from the Demon of the Mist, but even more monstrous as it was longer and slightly wider, and no doubt, thicker. But this man held it not in anger nor battle, but merely disinterested annoyance on his face, the vivid green of Mako flashing in his eyes.

He had merely brutally hacking apart soldier after soldier of Wutai, the blood splatter on his boots testament to the act itself. It appeared that a great event of some sort was afoot. The streets seemed empty whilst there was much noise in the background, and thus, the SOLDIER began to traverse the streets, as it was rather basic skill to track by sound.

Eins
Hier kommt die Sonne
Zwei
Hier kommt die Sonne
Drei
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Vier
Hier kommt die Sonne

Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Händen
kann verbrennen, kann euch blenden
wenn sie aus den Fäusten bricht
legt sich heiß auf das Gesicht
sie wird heut Nacht nicht untergehen
und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn

As He paced about, flowers crunched underfoot, causing his gaze to fall to the path before him, strewn with fresh white flowers. "A wedding?" He mused aloud to himself, as He thought white to be for life and marriage whilst black….mourning and death. It must have been an important procession for such a street, a long and wide street on this backward place to be covered in the petals. His curiosity slightly piqued, He walked on, leaving in his wake crushed petals, not unlike the shadow of misery following.

Eins
Hier kommt die Sonne
Zwei
Hier kommt die Sonne
Drei
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Vier
Hier kommt die Sonne
Fünf
Hier kommt die Sonne
Sechs
Hier kommt die Sonne
Sieben
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Acht, neun
Hier kommt die Sonne

Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Händen
kann verbrennen, kann dich blenden
wenn sie aus den Fäusten bricht
legt sich heiß auf dein Gesicht
legt sich schmerzend auf die Brust
das Gleichgewicht wird zum Verlust
lässt dich hart zu Boden gehen
und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn

It became apparent it truly was an important wedding as the SOLDIER came to witness the scene in its fullness. It was a entire mass of people in a almost conical shape facing a stage of sorts. On it in a formalized wedding were the bride and groom. One was sharply featured woman but kind still. Nine tails were still behind her and ears pointed out the top of her head. A demon the SOLDIER supposed as his gaze shifted to the husband, a merry looking man with blond hair which struck a chord of confusion within the professional soldier. Blond wasn't a natural color within Wutai's people, nor was the size of the village, the demon woman, and anything else to make sense. So, it'd point out He wasn't in Wutai.

Eins

Hier kommt die Sonne

Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen

Und wird nie vom Himmel fallen
Fünf
Hier kommt die Sonne
Sechs
Hier kommt die Sonne
Sieben
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Acht , neun
Hier kommt die Sonne

It was then however He had heard a sniffle. Normally this wouldn't strike him odd or something to bother with. He had to cast away all emotion for such things could cripple ones ability to fight. No….It was the fact it was a odd thing, that of something He had not heard since his own time as one. It was from a babe. From memory, it took time enough to find the baby and soon did, odd glittering eyes looking up at him with a almost blank stare. Picking the baby up in one arm, said babe bit his finger, gumless as He was still fairly young. "….Hojo did need a subject." He muttered, looking out to the wedding again before setting off. He had to find his way back to Gaia after all.
