What's up people it's me ThePlayfulOne or TPO and this is my first ever fanfic (expect some errors in grammar or in plot/lore). I wanted to try this stuff for a long time and now I have time and the motivation to do it, so that's cool. Please feel free to review and I'll try my best fix my mistakes. Now that's out of the way let's begin.
People speaking : "I don't know why I have to do this, do you?"
People thinking : 'Now this is weird and fun!'

A Wonderful Adventure
Chapter 3 : All's right, right?
I don't really remember what happened after being handed to that unknow woman, who now I know to be my mother, and now that I have enough time to think something else other than the pain and shock of suddenly becoming an infant. I realized that my sight was abysmal and hearing was pretty overwhelming, I could hear two heartbeats pretty close by and someone near my left murmuring something?
'Weird… but now that the shock has passed I feel… empty? Hollow? Cold, *sigh* a thought for later when I have enough information to know where I am and when.' I thought as I assessed my current situation.
'But still, reincarnation? Fiction being actually reality? And me being a main character? Why does this have to happen to me.' I glumly thought, but then I remembered something from The Nothingness (as I will call it from now on)
FLASHBACK
"Now, as well see the Truth I'll explain to you what it means to be a main character. You'll face hardship were lesser men/women would have given up, but you with your determination you'll overcome them (or so I hope -_-). You'll cry to the world for its unfairness. You'll laugh with your comrades or friends. You'll save people. You'll be a Hero, but for the major part of the plot you'll be a brother." Explained John as he watched with Juhani as a young man with brown spiked up hair, dark brown eyes and a wild grin on his face (who appeared to be pretty slim and a little bit foxy) who wore a brown four buttoned suit, a shirt and a tie, and a light brown faux-suede overcoat running away from some alien looking creatures while waving a weird stick that glowed blue, not looking nervous at all.
"You see that man, he has endured more than he should have and he still tries to smile for the people he saves. He is one example of a hero, a martyr, he demolished 2 whole races, his own and his enemy's, when nobody wanted or could do it and to this day he tries to forget it by saving people/planets and adventuring the whole universe and history. Sometimes he takes people he has saved with him or goes with his TARDIS. But that's not what were talking about what were talking about is that, even though he has endured and suffered he still does what he thinks is right and that is to save people and bring a smile to their faces and make them laugh, to make it so they don't have to feel like he does. So, my question is… are you ready to do the same? To save people, like a hero would? To make them laugh and smile, like a jokester? Or advise them when they face a wall, like a teacher? In the end, even though Fate has a hands in things this will be up to you, this I promise." Said John as he looked towards Juhani, who was looking at his hands.
"Welp, you don't have to know the answer now but later when you arrive to your new exciting adventure" Explained John with a wry grin.
"So, let's go see other interesting heroes!" Finished John more happily, happy that the "boring stuff" was over.
Before Juhani could say anything they disappeared in a white light to their next location.
FLASHBACK
'Oh well, I can't do much now… still if that man can do as much he could even though being weighted by his many regrets, then I could do the same or better.'
With that in mind I started gather information using my senses as much I could being an infant. The same two heart beats were there but now that I am paying more attention to them, one of them is "stronger" and the other was pretty close. I also feel something wrapped up on me 'Probably a blanket'. The murmuring from my left hasn't stopped they probably were asleep and I couldn't make sense of the words so I left that to that.
'Alright I still can't see much and I'm pressed against something so not much space to see nor move… not like I could move being an infant… *sigh* It's sleeping time I guess?' With that I tried will myself to sleep, which wasn't that difficult, and embraced the darkness that came.
When I woke up, there were noises and I was in what I think was a crib. I tried to make sense of the noises, but alas that was not meant to be. But I did feel something or someone right next to me, but before I could do anything more I suddenly felt sleepy. So, a little disappointed I went back to sleep.
The next time I woke up was because of the feeling of being grabbed from my crib, obviously surprised I tried to shout to watch it.
"*a baby's squeal!" 'Right… I'm an infant my vocal cords haven't developed enough to shout' I thought a little depressed about not being able to express my thoughts vocally.
"Ooooh! Isn't he just the cutest Tai! Oh, yesh you are…" Okay… I feel like my pride is being pummeled… But! English! Thank the author, I would not want to learn a whole new language. But goddammit can't this lady stop baby talking it's humiliating.
"Yes Summer, but I don't think he liked that you woke him up." Commented "Tai"
"How do you know! I don't see him complaining?" Whined Summer, who I'll just call mother or mom because she just has that "aura". And heck yes I'm complaining! Hear my roar peasant, and release me!
"Grrr…" A cute roar was released. Wow, ok? In my head that sounded more intimating to be honest. There was a 2 second silence before "Tai" broke it
"See! I don't think he liked being waked up from his little nap. Sooo, let's just put him back with Ruby." "Tai" explained while reaching out for me.
"But, but I want to hold him a little longer…" Okay, even though I haven't seen mom that was just adorable, and it even made me feel guilty!?
"Gurk!? Summer! I told you not to do that! And I'm being serious!" Now it was Tai (my father probably?) who was whining.
Alright, I'll just tune this out because i'm feeling pretty sleepy after being fed and rocketed in mothers hands.
"Oooh… the little guys tired… oh well, lets put you back with Ruby." A little disappointed and sad, mother put me back to the crib, but this time close to who I guess was Ruby.
And immediately after being put the crib someone grabbed my right hand and squeezed it, so I turned right and tried to see who was but the only thing I could see was those mesmerizing silver orbs that watched my every move.
'Anchor, Sister, Protect with all cost'
I flinched a little but relaxed right after and squeezed back, and the last thing I saw before unconsciousness took me were those beautiful silver orbs that stirred something inside me, what? I do not know. And like that I went to sleep again.
After that little event couple weeks went by and somehow I got more humiliated. Breastfeeding was something I wanted to do quickly and forget as quickly, because even though my memories were fuzzy I was 10-14? Years old when I died and I won't lie and say that I was a pure and naïve. I also learned the names of my family which were weird but pretty cool I guess? Anyways they were Taiyang Xiao Long (my dad), Summer Rose (my mom), Yang Xiao Long (my older sister) and there were me and my twin sister, yeah my twin sister and her name was Ruby Rose and mine was Garnet Rose (I see a theme here…). It didn't mind me as much as I thought it would that my name was not the same from my past life, I could live being Garnet. But yeah, life as an infant was not as exciting as some thought it would be, like I could not move at all and my vision was still pretty bad (I could now see the outlines of my new family's figures and their "colour schemes"). So, my activities were pretty limited. The only things that I liked to do was just watch my twin sister's eyes. In my opinion they were the most exotic looking eyes but also most beautiful, I think mother had the same eyes (memories still fuzzy hopefully some more rest will help). Anyways, as I was saying my sister's eyes were interesting it was like watching two full moons, but unfortunately my dear sister doesn't have the same patience as I do and has the same energy as mother so she likes to squirm a lot and cry, cry a lot. She also likes to hold my hands for some reason, I could guess and say she knows that I'll protect her with everything I got (you know twin stuff?) or that she just is that clingy and I just happen to be the unfortunate guy that is close by. So, I get to watch Ruby's eyes for like 1 hour 2 if I'm lucky and after that is just waiting to *shiver* be breastfed and sleep. So, yeah I have lot's of free time and in that free time I found out something… not that great, something that could be very bad later on. I found out early on that my emotions were somehow dampened. Dampened to the level we're I only showed discomfort or cried when hungry or I had to change my… ugh, diapers I didn't feel happy when mother played with me neither when father left me to Yang so she could play with her younger brother. I only felt cold and pretty empty. I didn't want to worry my new family early on. So, I did the only reasonable thing I could and that was to mimic Ruby as much I could. We were twins. So, no one suspected a thing, but this won't solve the problem, hopefully it just goes away.
It didn't. I still feel the coldness and emptiness. And I can't even be mad about it, I just feel… annoyed. It's like the world is turning grey and… depressing. I tuned out almost everything except Ruby (who still tried to hold my hand anytime she could, she openly cried when they tried to separate us!) and tried to find out why this was happening to me. I figured that it wasn't anything physical because people would have found out about it almost immediately. So, I tried a different route which was the spiritual route. And I'll be honest, and I say that I know just as much every guy out there.
Luckily, I just happened to remember how to meditate (I think I did?) and it's pretty easy you technically just have to shut out the world around you and just focus inside yourself. One of the easy ways to do this was to hypnotise yourself, I did that by repeating 'Down you go, down you go'… Even I don't know why I chose that mantra. Any who, I hypnotised myself and now there's just darkness around me and I'm somehow… floating? As I looked around I noticed that I was in my old body before I died.
"Sweet" I grinned
But as the place, it just reminds me The Nothingness, with the creepy atmosphere and the cold feeling here. Now, I probably should have thought this thing through because what if I can't get out anymore? Or even if do find out why I feel, like I do, what do I even do? *sigh* Oh well, let's just explore this place and try find the problem.
Alright… okay yeah no, I don't even know how to explain this, this thing. Yeah if you didn't notice I found something and that something is a… sun? a ball? Don't matter, but I'll just guess and say this is my soul.
As I looked at my soul (Hah! How stupid that just sounds) I noticed something was wrong, immediately. It had 2 "colours", 1/3 was rose red and the rest of it was… white? No, it was… empty, yeah empty the colour was empty that's the best way I can explain that.
'Hmm… So that's it… *sigh* I only have a portion of my soul… that's bad, like really bad. Explains why my memories were fuzzy and my feelings were dampened. But what now? I'm no SoulMaster… I guess I only have 2 choices. 1) Give up and prepare to live as a psychopath. Or 2) Risk your entire being by poking your soul until it does something… Hmm… BAH! Who am I kidding of course I'll poke my soul, I personally don't want to live as a cold hearted guy who can't even love his parent's.' With my mind made up I walked close to my soul and poked it.
'Nothing happened? Do I have to poke it harder?' I poked it harder and it just was there.
'*sigh* But of course my soul is stubborn and doesn't want to do anything, I guess I'll just have to punch my soul, lets hope it doesn't hurt as much it sounds.' And like champ I took one step with my right leg and raised my left hand and balled it to a fist and levelled it to my hips level and breathed in and out, and then with a determined face I threw my fist to my soul.
*Rumble!* "Ah crapbaskets" And just like that my consciousness was thrown out of my "mindscape" (That's what I'm calling it, deal with it).
'Ughh… I don't want to experience that ever again. Heads pounding, body feels sluggish. Is this how hangovers feel?' I opened my eyes, trying hard not to hiss at the light, to suddenly feeling better. Sure he was tired but. I tried to clench my left hand to a fist (My right hand was holding Ruby's left hand) only barely making it.
'Whoa, I somehow feel more lighter than before' As I marvelled the feeling that I was experiencing now,Ruby woke up. Hearing squealing to my right just to see Ruby gurgling and…is that laughter? I looked in to her eyes and guessed she looked amazed. I don't know why, but I got this sudden feeling to puff my chest in pride. Not like I'm doing that, but still… As I was thinking what was i experiencing Ruby tried squirming closer to me and grab my hand. I looked just when Ruby was grabbing my hand and I only got a second to be shocked, because my hand was flickering with a red rose light, before she grabbed it and I suddenly felt weaker and sleepy but also a bond was formed between me and Ruby I don't know what kind of bond and I didn't get much time to think either as I felt really sleepy and guessing by Ruby's face she too was sleepy. With a vow to find about what happened when I woke up or I when had the time, i fell asleep
