Chapter 2: Awaken

I plan not to give up on this story until I finish it.

I'm floating in darkness, no lights, nothing but pure darkness. Something I'm used to. I stare blankly at the empty darkness. I'm always alone no matter what, that how I am.

I blinked and the darkness change, morphing into another scenery. The place morph into a village, the one village I knew.

People were running away in a frantic, fear were all over theirs heads. They were running away from me.

Blood were splattered everywhere, one by one people dies as their scream were turn to silent. I looked at my hands to see them all bloody along with my katana. My heart stopped.

No, no, no…

I shake my head, holding them tightly. My eyes going wild looking at the dead bodies of people slaughter in the most gruesome ways, blood was everywhere. What was even worst was.… there was a child.

I killed them.

I killed them.

I'm a monster.

"Hehehehe," A laughed came from behind.

I turned around to see who was laughing. I saw me, hair covering the eyes, smiling, covered in blood. The other me lift her head up, huge wide sadistic smile at me filled with enjoyment. I stared back at the other me, shock paralysed. I didn't see it coming, it happen so fast. My blues eyes met gold ones, staring back me, myself reflected in the gold eyes. I looked down to see a sword pierce through my chest, blood squirt out.

I started shaking, looking back the other me still had that smile on her face. She pulled the sword out, agonising pain erupt my chest. The blade drawing out of my chest, more blood poured out.

My eyes snapped opened wildly, I sat up breathing heavily. That dream again… my haunted nightmare of the past. I thought I forgotten about it, looks like I'm wrong.

Damn it!

The sound of the door slid made me go in my instinct, where I was about to strike when a little girl, black hair pig tail appeared. I stop instantly not wanting to hurt the girl. I stared at the girl with my wide blue eyes, she stared back.

I backed away from a her a few step. "Sorry." I apologised to the girl didn't mean to scare her.

Damn it of hell! I almost attack her!

Until a taller older man with blonde shaggy hair, hat with stripe on, wearing a green coat. I stared at him for a moment, seeing him to see wether he is dangerous or not. He seem rather calm not striking me but I kept my guard up incase.

"I see that you're awake." Said the older blonde man with a hat green stripe. "Are you alright?" He asked in concerned.

"I'm fine." I shortly reply.

"What is your name?" He asked.

I paused for a moment thinking if I should give him my name. "Akane Kuran." I replied.

"Well hello there Kuran-san, I'm Urahara Kisuke." He answer his name to me, cheerful. Kinda remind me of Kakashi…

I looked around for a bit before asking, "Where am I?" All I remember was grey, rain and pain in my chest.

"You're in my shop in Karakura town," He answered.

Karakura? I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, questioning face. "Karakura? I never heard of it."

The man in front of me stay silent, he didn't answer. "I think you're in another world." He said sipping is warm tea.

My eyes widen, "What?" That not possible, traveling to another is impossible. I remember I was back at home before that door appeared… yes that door. It was that door that took me here. Why though? Why was I sent here?

Urahara-san sense my distress trying to loosen my distress of the news. It was a lot to take in. I'm all alone in this unknown world.

"You know you can stay here since you don't have anywhere to go." Urahara-san said catching me off guard.

"What?" I exclaimed in surprised. "Listen I don't want to be a bother-"

"It alright, Kuran-san. You can stay here." He said.

I thought about it. I think it should be alright.

After the conversation, he showed me my room where I'm going to stay. My room is a decent size, I don't like fancy things. I had a bed, drawer and that good enough for me.

I heard the door knocked. "Come in." I invited the person behind the door.

The door opened to reveal a girl shorter than me with short black hair, violet eyes that seem so kind but I was alert, she seem like she'll be observant of me. She wore a yellow sun dress.

"Hello my name is Kuchiki Rukia." The black hair girl who name Rukia introduce herself.

"Kuran Akane." I answered.

"I heard about what happened and thank you for saving Ichigo."

Ichigo? Who's that?

She seem to sense my confusion of no clue who she was talking about. "The one with the bright spiky orange hair."

Ah the guy I happened to saved, I remembered now. "Yes I remember." Although he rather remind me of Pain since he has spiky orange hair, the only person I know has orange hair. Beside Naruto's and his bright orange jumpsuit that said, 'I'm right here! Kill me now!' So dead give away to the enemy. Sometimes I wonder how he's not dead yet.

"You'll be staying here then?" Rukia's voice snapped me out of my trance of thought.

I nod relying, "Yes I am."

"Ichigo told me you could fight and summon that lighting ball thingy." She said with a curious face of interest.

"Yes I can."

"What are you?"

"A ninja."

"Ninja?" She said puzzle.

I did a quick hand sign, summoning a clone beside me. Her face turned to then awestruck at the clone. The clone me had a blank face, arm crossed and sigh before disappearing into smoke.

"That was a amazing. Can you do more?"

"Yes I can but not right now. I'm still rather tired from my injuries."

She understood and left the room, leaving me alone in the room by myself. I sat on the ground tiredly until a soft meow caught my attention. Looking at the door was a black cat with golden slits eyes watching me. I stared back at the cat, I didn't know they had a cat.

The cat slowly walked toward me, tilting it's head in curiosity. Once it was closed enough the cat rubbed it's head on my knee, it soft fur against my knee. I reached my hand out scratching it ear that seem to make it purr in enjoyment. I had a feeling that is not a normal cat.

That is not a cat.

How so?

That a person disguise as a cat.

I looked at the cat, rubbing head affectionally against my hand. It's turned to find me looking at it. "I know you're not a cat." I said.

I can see a smirk appear on the cat's face. "What gave away?" The cat said in a male tone.

"I had a feeling." I rely to the black cat. "Who are you?" I asked wanting to know who the cat was exactly.

"Yoruichi." The cat replied to my question. Yoruichi? It sound like a female name. I think it is a female just using a male voice for the cat disguise.

Well better get used to this new world I'm in, lot of things can happen.
