Chapter 1: Kuroi Okami vs. Guntz Shinigami

"But sir, I will not take part in the war as a weapon! It goes against laws!" I protested loudly banging my hand on the table that was settled between me and my commanding officer.

A man, with silver eyes and blue hair looked at me, he was wearing a world class alchemist uniform and light blue gloves.

"I enforced those laws for a reason, but rarity cadets are not enforced in it!" he shot back.

I narrowed my eyes in anger then gritted my teeth at him.

"When I enrolled in this militia, I wanted to fight for our home with my own powers. You said so yourself when I enrolled as a world class alchemist, why do you intend for me to take this?" I said loudly banging my fist on the table again.

Now this calm, collected man lost his temper as he growled at me. He then slammed his fist on the metal table loudly.

"I'm doing this for my home and for our families!" he replied loudly.

"What families?! I'm an orphan and you don't even have a wife or kids!" I told him loudly.

Now he was angry as he instantly stood up, knocking his chair over with the violence of his movement. We looked at each other in angry silence. This was the first time since I met this man that we were exchanging harsh words and flaming arguments. But I was right, we are simply loners just fighting for a world that didn't either know us or didn't give a damn about us.

"As an honorable and loyal cadet I will fight for my home, but if I must be given certain powers to defeat my enemies then I decline!" I told him.

"You will not!" he shot back making me narrow my eyes.

He smirked as he pressed a button on a remote and a screen appeared behind him. It revealed clips of all of my siblings fighting in the war with bad wounds. They all looked like they were about to drop any second. I narrowed my eyes in fear for my older brothers and sisters.

"When they enrolled in the military they swore to give up everything, and also their lives. It would be a shame if I were to shoot bullets at their orbs and let them die slowly." He smirked wolfishly.

He would go this far to kill our people, my siblings, to win this war. I looked down to my hands thinking intently, if I decline they die, but if I accept then I die. What can I do? I sighed in defeat. There was no way I could get out of this. I looked up to my commanding officer then nodded.

"I will take part as a Rozen maiden and win this war hands down." I told him dropping my head.

"Good," he said in a tone of pleasure.

"As a Rozen maiden you will have a new family now, I would like to introduce you to your new father." He smiled as a tall blond man appeared behind him.

I widened my eyes in shock, this man, why was he so familiar?

"This is Rozen, your new father." The man introduced.

I shifted a little as the morning sun's rays that were coming through my cabin window hit my serene face. I scrunched up my face before opening my eyes to see that it was morning. I looked down to my side to see Suppi sleeping in her cat form next to me.

I yawned tiredly. I guess I should sleep a little more. I turned to my side making Suppi groan in annoyance as she felt my body warmth leave hers. The black cat stretched gracefully on our bed making it move a little.

I could feel Suppi's fur coat brushing against my back to wake me up to get our daily chores ready. I growled as Suppi jumped off the bed and began to get breakfast ready. Man, I wanted to sleep longer. I grumbled as I sat up and stretched my arms.

"Man, Suppi," I yawned, "we should really get a blanket or something."

"No, the money is for food, certain attire, and weapons." She told me simply.

I nodded in agreement I have to save up money just in case Suppi and I need to go on the run again. Although that is kind of impossible by now, even though Suppi and I only have a few friends here many are really nice and not much people try to pursue me.

Luckily no one has ever heard of Tsubasa except for my weaponry provider and good friend, John. He said a world of reincarnated humans is kind of impossible, but he tends to talk about it every time I visit his store. He must have heard from an old angel or devil about Tsubasa maybe a decade ago. Anyway this place is kind of unpopular to us Tsubasanians. I guess it was something about their goddess Claire, but I never knew the true story as to why.

I looked over to Suppi as she shape shifted into her human form to start breakfast. She kind of looks similar to how I look, but she has longer, black hair tied into a ponytail and her cat ears always stick out of her head, kind of like the wolf ones I had on mine. She had sapphire eyes like me. Currently, she's wearing a simple light blue shirt and light tan shorts.

Although the reason why she wears more feminine clothes than me, is because I dress up more like a boy than the girl I am. The reason is because if I want to stay incognito I would have to change my personality and my appearance. So I had followed Kisho's suggestion of changing into someone else when I go into public, kind of like those rangers from the renaissance time.

My appearance can even trick Suppi sometimes if I wear masculine clothes she didn't buy for me. I have really short, black hair that just shows a hint of feminine feature. The clothes I wear are usually cargo pants, long-sleeved shirts, and boots.

I wear these types of clothes mostly to cover up the many bandages on my body, since I'm a bounty hunter I get various wounds daily. But the most I want to hide is permanent wound on my right side, the wound is still open even though it's been two years since I've been to war. I kind of given up by trying to heal it, since I was discharged from recovery, now I have old, dirty bandages wrapped around my abdomen.

I put on one of Suppi's T-shirts and sat at the table just as she was putting a plate filled with fried ham. I sighed annoyingly as she set down two cups filled with water. Every time we ate we never get to eat sweets anymore, it's been two years since we last had sweets and Suppi seems fine with it.

"You know, Suppi, a cookie or two wouldn't be so bad." I suggested with a playful smirk.

"No," she said sternly "it's best if we stay one hundred percent just in case Mr. Seion says we can have time off."

I smirked slyly to her as I plopped a piece of ham in my mouth.

"You just don't want to have another sugar rush anymore, huh? I've seen how your brother, Spinal, reacted when I fed him sweets. Come on, Suppi. Let's have some sweets at lea-!" I was cu-off when Suppi stuffed a piece of her meat into my mouth.

"NO! Stop acting like a ten-year-old and act like a twelve-year-old." She frowned taking her utensil out of my mouth.

I sighed, nodding sadly. Maturity is a big thing for me if I want to stay bounty hunter. After we had finished breakfast, Suppi left to talk with our boss leaving me to run a few errands. I changed into a blue long-sleeved shirt and a pair of light brown cargo pants, then strapped on my black boots and put on an eye mask, so no one would see my true identity and to be cautious.

Once the cabin was completely locked I made my way towards the village not far from here, luckily not many people don't visit the forest that borders La-Lakoosha.

My boss gave me the cabin when he found out that Suppi and I were just camping in the forest where the cabin was settled last year, so he saved me the inconvenience of sleeping in brutal weather and lent me and Suppi the small house. It's not much though, just a cabin with a single bed, a table a small stove and sink, and a small bathroom. A cabin big enough for two, just perfect for me and Suppi I shall say.

I pricked my ears when I heard a rustle from a nearby bush, I was still far away from the village and for a while I keep hearing almost quiet foot steps. I stopped in my tracks and looked from the corner of my eye. I subconsciously put a hand to my belt holster where my shot gun was. Suddenly, I heard a gun-shot. I jumped and flipped backwards, the moment I landed I felt a barrel of a gun on the back of my head.

"What have you done to Ame Mitsukai?" a voice growled near my ear.

I turned my head to see the face of Guntz Shinigami, one of the high ranking bounty hunters like me. He had the features of both a wolf and a German shepherd, but he had the same sapphire eyes as me. I frowned at him as I flipped my gun so it pointed at his stomach. He flinched when he felt the barrel of my gun on his gut.

"If you know what's better for you, you leave." I told him darkly.

"You still haven't answered my question, where's Ame Mitsukai?" he growled angrily.

I gritted my teeth as he pushed the barrel of his gun closer to my head. I can't take my chances with this guy. I'll just have to get rid of him while not shedding blood. I spun around and swept Guntz off his feet making him fall on his back, taking this chance I kicked off his gun and caught it. I flipped away from the wolf-dog and pointed the two shot guns at him. Guntz grumbled as he brought his second shot gun and pointed it at me. We grinned toothily at each other as our sapphire eyes made contact.

"How about this?" I asked "If I win you leave, if you win I'll tell you where she is."

"Fine by me, you might lose a limb or two though." He smirked.

I took the first move and lunged towards him. He flinched in surprise and began to shoot towards me. I dodged the various bullets flying towards me and jumped in front of him. While he was stunned, I was about to use his gun to hit his temple but I never got the chance when he shot the forehead of my metal mask.

The force of the bullet making contact with my mask made me stunned and I fell on my back loosing the grip of Guntz' gun in my hand. When I was out of my momentary daze, Guntz began shooting towards me again. Instead of dodging them this time I shot at each bullet flying towards me deflecting each of them accurately.

Guntz was stunned as I began to lung towards him again. Before I could even get to him he shot at my head again, I collapsed on my back while at the same time I felt Guntz' boot on my chest making me grunt. I opened my eyes to see that my mask was covering my eyes and slipping off my face. The moment I heard a click and Guntz voice my mask began to fall off completely.

"Shit," I growled "I've lost."

"Now tell me where Ame Mitsukai-!" he stopped himself when he saw my face.

I looked at him with narrow eyes in shock when he made eye contact with me. Shit! He found out! I'm the missing princess of the fallen kingdom, the last princess of the fourteen heirs.

"A-Ame! Y-you're Kuroi Okami?!" He exclaimed dropping his gun.

Nya: Behold Guntz Shinigami has defeated Kuroi Okami! Did anyone thought she would win, raise your hands! Anyway I might be in a good mood tomorrow and put up another chapter tomorrow since my birthday to me. Yay, Happy almost Birthday for me, I'll be fourteen tomorrow! X3 Wait for the next chapter, Kuroi meets Kaze no Klonoa.
