A/N: Yo, this is Zakura. This is my first fanfic so I hope it turns out alright.
PrologueKanda stared up at the moonless night.
He sat on a tall building his finger tracing small patterns in the layer of dust the building had accumulated.
How long had he been here?
Ten?…Eleven?...Fifteen years?
He remembered the day he had been found.
Flashback:
"Hello young man. What's your name?" said a man in a white coat.
He looked up. His father had told him that if he was lost and didn't know where he was he shouldn't give his family name incase they held him for ransom.
"Yu..." he said instead.
"Just Yu?" The man asked "What about your family name?"
"I...don't have one" said the little boy.
The man smiled kindly "Well then..." the smile suddenly turned malicious and he grabbed the boy's arm in an iron grip.
"All the better!"
End of Flash BackKanda stared at the ground at the characters he had drawn.
His long, almost forgotten name stared back at him.
He traced the characters lightly.
"Kuchiki...Yu" he muttered before erasing the characters with a swipe of his hand.
Chapter 1Where am I...?
I am surrounded by darkness. The emptiness suffocates me. I'm alone.
I can see the ghost of a light but it is far in the distance.
I've seen this before, I try and stop my feet but they move as though an invisible force is pulling them. It's almost as if my body doesn't belong to me anymore like I don't exist and I'm watching from a spectators point of view. A flower appears before me. I feel an overwhelming pressure and it forces me to my knees.
"What do you want from me?" I yell. The pressure stops all of a sudden before it comes back stronger than ever. "Boy!" I hear a voice in my head. "My....name...is!" the voice seemed to cut off in certain places almost like a broken up transmission. "I can't hear you!" I shout back but the pressure disappears all together.
I woke up sweating. The dream had been even more vivid than all the last times I had had it.
I couldn't tell if it was a nightmare or not but whenever I woke up, it seemed like I had been underwater for a long time and was finally getting a breath of air.
I wiped the cold sweat of my face trying to regain my breath.
I looked at the glowing lotus sitting in its hourglass. After the dream the glow seemed to make it look sinister.
The clock on my bedside table showed 6:30. 'Since I'm awake I may as well go get breakfast' I though to myself walking over to my closet to get dressed.
'Why do I keep having this dream! That Lotus is my curse. Why would it be trying to tell me it's name?' I thought angrily.
I was never going to get a good night sleep with these disturbing dreams.
What frustrated me more than ever was the fact that I felt like I was missing something, something important.
My thoughts traveled back to my name. "Kuchiki" I muttered.
It wasn't good to dwell on the past. No matter how hard I tried I could never remember anything anymore. "Time to face the day" I said picking up Mugen from it's resting place.
A jolt ran up my arm and I dropped Mugen in shock.
I blinked and cautiously picked Mugen up again.
"Che, must've just been static" I said frowning.
The atmosphere of the room was tense...no it was more than that...it was...dead...
Komui was nowhere in sight, Lenalee had run off saying that she was going to find Lavi and Allen was...well...being his usual annoying self.
It wasn't as though he was actually being annoying it was just his presence.
A few months ago I would have been picking a fight with him for pissing me off like this but I was slowly starting to accept his presence.
I could see Allen fidgeting, his movement completely destroying the peace and quiet. I counted in my head 5...4...3...2...1 "Kanda!" Allen suddenly wailed. "What do you want moyashi?" I asked as coldly as I could.
"Any idea why we're here?" asked Allen ignoring my cold glare and annoying nickname and trying to start a friendly conversation.
"Like I have any idea" I said as coldly as I could trying to blow off any more conversation.
Allen seemed to get my hint and sunk as deep as he could into his chair with a huff.
Bang!"Aww, Lenalee! Five more minutes!" Whined Lavi as the door burst open. Lenalee walked into the room towing Lavi by the ear.
He pouted and only then realised the deaths glares he was receiving from Allen and me.
"Hehe" he said sheepishly "just kidding, wasn't meant to make you wait".
Komui chose this exact moment to appear "What are you all doing here so bright and early?" asked Komui rubbing his eyes. There was a flash and Komui found himself surrounded by a range of multiple weapons "You... called... us... here" said Allen through gritted teeth.
Komui looked unfazed by the killing aura that was slowly engulfing the room "Oh I remember now!" he said in a matter of fact voice hitting his fist down on his hand.
Everyone did an anime drop. I was so close to just losing it but another jolt went up my arm almost making me drop Mugen again.
The words 'my name....' echoed in my brain. "Kanda are you alright?" asked Lenalee waving a hand in front of my face.
I jerked back knocking over Allen who had been standing behind me. "Sorry" I said helping him up.
Allen looked at me in complete shock "what!?" I asked looking around. Everyone wore the same expression as Allen.
"Kanda" said Lenalee taking a deep breath "are you ok?"
I looked at her confused then reality caught up with me. I had just said sorry.
I gave a nervous cough and everyone took a step back.
"Get on with it Komui!" I yelled suddenly making everyone jump. They all gave me a nervous glance before turning towards Komui.
'Great now my reputation is ruined'. It still stung a bit that for the one second I was nice, they had all acted like it was apocalypse.
Komui gave a small cough before rummaging through his mountain of paperwork and pulling out a slightly battered folder.
"It would appear" he said pushing his glasses up "that some finders patrolling the southern part of Japan near Kyoto, encountered some things that destroy akuma."
Lavi looked confused "Define things?" he asked.
Komui ruffled through some of the papers. His eyes scanned a particular one.
"From the account of one finder, he says that they appear to have human shape and were dressed in all black with swords. However they are very fast so they cannot get a good description and most people couldn't see them anyway."
Silence followed "I've never heard of anything like that" said Lavi.
"So do you want one of us to go and check them out or something?" asked Allen.
"I was thinking of sending all of you that are here" said Komui looking at them expectantly.
"Che-another troublesome mission" I grumbled.
"We need to know if they are friend of foe and if they do decide to attack, we need all of you there to at least asses their abilities and their numbers" said Komui.
"So when do we leave?" asked Lenalee.
"Now" said Komui. "Thats why I called you here bright and early".
"If only you'd turned up WHEN it was BRIGHT and EARLY!" I yelled.
"Heheh Kanda" Komui said in a small voice "please go and pack now".
I gave him one last glare before leaving the room but not before he heard Lavi say "are there any security cameras in this room? I want to take another look at Kanda saying sorry" he snickered.
Kanda smirked 'security cameras, huh. I hope they won't mind if one of the tapes go missing, then again I don't really care if they do'.
