Chapter 1
Long ago, near the end of the Meji era, a great battle took place, Six legendary shinobi, three evil and three good, were fighting an all out war. Each of them was a master at their own element, water, wind , light, fire, darkness, and time. A battle that lasted for what seemed like an eternity, had ended when they eventually destroyed each other. fearing about their souls being reincarnated, a monk sealed all of their souls into a jade vase. A prophecy was made that day. That one day when the one who is destined to open it opens it, they will host all six souls and change the world, for better or for worse.
[present day]
It was a beautiful day in the city of Osakasa. It was about time the school day ended and the students to head home. Exiting Hanzo Academy is a seemingly normal young man, his black hair was shining in the sin light as he shielded his onyx eyes. He was wearing a standard Hanzo male uniform, which was black jeans and a white button up shirt with black sneakers, and he was about 6.2 in height. His build was just slightly above average. all in all he looked like a normal boy, and he was… for now.
(?P.O.V)
Yup, just another normal day, at my normal school, during my normal life… boring. I should probably introduce myself, I'm Tatsuya, Hino Tatsuya, and as you might have guessed I'm just a normal high school student, and I hate it. Everything I see is black and white, under a monochrome blue sky. It's not that I want to be normal, it's just that there's nothing exceptional about me, I don't even have any friends. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some moody anti-social kid or ugly, in fact I try to be upbeat and nice and slightly above average looks if I do say so myself, but for some reason everybody doesn't acknowledge my existence. I'm just a regular NPC in a RPG game. No family either, I've been an orphan as long as I can remember. I lived in an orphanage until I was old enough for me to live on my own. Well I'm not a star athlete, not a straight A student, the only thing I feel that is above average about me is my cooking. This was my life, just a lonely, average guy you pretty much never take a second glance at. Am I cursed to live in this grey prison?
Well enough of the melodramatic narrating, at the moment I'm working at my part-time job at a local cafe as a chef, got to pay those bills you know? As it turned dark out the work day ends. I get ready to head out, "Yo, Tatsuya, hang on a second." A voice called out to me. It was my boss, Tendo Soji, and probably the closest thing to a friend I've got. " Here's your pay for the week." He threw me an envelope. when I check the money there was a little extra that usuall. I was about to ask until he cut me off, "Nah don't say it, you work harder than I pay you for so you deserve some extra."
"Wow, thanks boss." With that I made my way home. As I was walking through the city I began to hear something strange. *Klang* It sounded like metal hitting metal. Curiosity got the best of me so I followed it down an alleyway. When I came to an opening, the strangest thing was there. I saw what seemed like two ninja girls fighting, they kinda look like grunts from a video game I played. One was holding a weird jade colored vase. The one with the vase got knocked down and landed next to me. when she recovered, she suddenly shoved the vase into my arms.
"Take it and run!" She yelled before dashing back at her opponent. Without any explanation I do what she says and run. After a while of running I duck down in an ally way and took a rest.
"Man, that was a whole lot of weird in a short amount of time. What's in this thing anyways?" I asked myself. The moment I opened it noting happens, but that didn't last long. Suddenly Six orbs of bright light fly from the inside and circle around me. They fly into my body like a sack full of bricks and I start to glow as well. My body gets hot, really hot, burning hot, it hurts! What I didn't notice was six symbols started to carve themselves into my forearms. On my right was a symbol that looked like a flame, an hour glass, and a black wing. On my left was a rain drop, a shape like wind, and a star. When the light, and the burning, died down, I fell to my knees in exhaustion. What just happened?
"There you are my little thief." I heard a voice say. I look around and see no one there, until I look up to see a very pretty girl. She had brown hair that was curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top. She wore what looks like pink and white lingerie with white cups, and a diamond shaped opening revealing her cleavage. On her legs and arms are whit garments, and she wore thin white bottom with simple high heels. Over it all, she wore a large white lab coat. Good thing it was dark so she wouldn't see the light blush on my face. "Normally I'd just knock you out and take what I came for, but you've seen too much. You're going to have to die for me, so no hard feelings alright?" What!? Kill me? She dives towards me ready to end my life!
"No wait!?" I said but she continued her attack. I guard my face with my arms and said, "STOP!" I waited... nothing happened. I expected to be hurt about now, but nothing came. When I uncover my face, I saw the strange girl still diving towards me, but she was just floating in one spot like she was frozen. I noticed the hour glass symbol on my right arm started glowing brightly.
'What is this, I can't move!' The strange girl thought, still in the air. On instinct, I thrust my arms down and she began to be in motion again and crashed into where i was standing earlier, and fatigue once again took over my body as I was on one knee. Did I just do that? What's going on? The strange girl recovered and pointed an accusing finger at me, "You, how did you do that?" She asked
"How the hell should I know? You were after me, you know something! Tell me what's happening to me!" I yelled. She looked around, and saw the vase I opened. She smiled, it kind of unnerved me. She starts to walk towards me, but I stepped back.
"It's okay, this is all normal." She said calmly.
"Normal? I just apparently stopped time and my arm lite up like a road flare, and you call that normal?" I said. Suddenly, she disappeared and reappeared in front of me, and cups my face with her hands and brings my face close to hers. I wanted to run away, but her touch some how comforted me and her eyes told me not to move.
"If you opened the warring vase, but you might want to come with me. If you don't, that power might kill you." She said. Well that's just great.
"How can I know if you are telling the truth?" I asked. She let go of me and backed away with a non-wavering smile.
"You can't"
"Well at least you're honest. I'm Tatsuya, Hino Tatsuya, you got a name?" I held out my hand for a handshake.
"It's Haruka." She returned my handshake.
"So how are we getting to where we need to go?"
"Yes, about that..." She suddenly disappears, is that gonna be a regular thing now?
*THUD*
Something hit me on the back of my neck, and I fainted.
