Pandora

Summery: ‘Once upon a Time’ is a sentence you start off a fairy tale with, not my life. My name is Chika Mizushima and I thought I was a normal 17 year old girl but one day A strange man who is dressed like a weird character from a manga comes and ‘snatches’ me away to fantasy world, and the worst part is I cant go back to my normal world until I find my six guardians with out getting killed in the process. Priestess, Dragons and psycho’s oh my!

Chapter One:

Once upon a time there was a Fire dragon, he was kind and loving to the villagers and did everything they asked for once a year for a month, and in return they would give him their most valuable things. One year the dragon came and did all the wishes for the month, but the villagers were not satisfied, so they tried to capture him which in turn angered him greatly. The loving dragon turned furious of the betrayal and went on a rampaged killing everyone and everything until all he cared about was carnage. One day a water dragon, who was brother of the fire dragon, was tired of the slaughter and so he sent his priestess to find six individual with extraordinary strength and give them the last of his power. Since dragons can not die, unless they give away their power the only way to stop a dragon was to chop it up and scatter the remains. The six individuals and the priestess scattered his body all over the land hoping that no one will try to put the dragon back together…

Up till now…

~~~*~~~ Echo’s of click clacking bounced off the walls as a man slowly walked to his destination, with anger and determination. From head to toe he was dressed in dirty cloths, his Hakama* was all black except for this one white spot on his back, a design of a Butterfly, black Kimono with dingy unidentified spots on the hems of the fabric, small white patterns of curves tracing towards his neck collar. His wooden geta* were pure white, which clacked loudly through out the hallway. This stranger, this guy katana was 26 inches in length; the designs of it were spirals entrancing two white butterflies reaching for the tip of the sword, from the way he held it you could tell he knew how to wield it.

His foot steps halted to a large oak entrance, two knobs in the shape of dragons shine beautifully in the moonlight. Two rough pale hands grasped the knobs and pushed forward with little effort, entering the small dark room. As he got closer to the hidden figure he stopped and kneeled on one knee.

“My Lord” spoke the man kneeling, hand over chest and eyes cast downwards to the person in front of him, who is hidden in the shadows.

“I had another dream last night, Kiyoshi” answered the hidden man “It seems someone is trying to unleash the great dragon Hi Ryu.”

Kiyoshi posture went rigid at first before settling back to his normal composure. “My Lord, Do you have any leads?”

“I have a small idea of who” The Lord replied slowly “Which is why I called you here.”

Kiyoshi looked up at the darkness where The Lord is sitting at, with a confused look on his face.

“I need you to find the Priestess of Ka Ryuu and locate the six guardians” The lord said with great urgency and worry “Or I fear that Life as we know it will vanish.”

“Chika-chan” yelled a young girl as she tried to lessen the gap between them.

“Hurry up Umi-chan! We are going to be late for the big premiere of ‘Roses of Love’!” The girl called Chika yelled back as she hurried across the street before the red light turned green. The girl called Umi sighed in frustration as if she was being dragged to this ‘Big premiere’, which she was. When Umi finally caught up to the girl called Chika, she grabbed onto her grey sweater dress “Chi-chan” said Umi clearly out of breath “Why are you dragging me to see this lovey Dovey Movie again?”

“Beeecaaaause” Chika exaggerated the word “Only the most Hottest Guy in Japan is playing in that movie, and One day he will become my Husband. “ Chika ended with a goofy smile on her face, making Umi give up all hope on her. “Now come on” Chika clasped both hands onto Umi’s hand “I am not going to miss my husband’s movie” and they rushed towards the theater.

~~~~~~ “Oh my goodness Umi-chan” Chika was walking out the movie theater with sparkles in her eyes and a pep in her step “DID. YOU. SEE. HIM” she emphasized every word as if she was going to explode.

“Yes Chi-san I couldn’t miss him… SINCE HE WAS THE MAIN CHARATER!” Umi grasped Chika shoulder and shook her with every word she yelled, hoping that would knock her out of her dream world. It didn’t work, it only made Chika dizzier.

´You will always gonna be my Love

ItsukaDarekato Mata –‘

Umi reached into her pocket to retrieve her pink Nokia cell phone

“Moshi Moshi*” Umi said into the phone.

“…..”

“Oh Hi Okaa-san*”

“….”

“Yeah I’m with Chika”

“…….”

“Okay I will tell her… Uhun….Yeah Bye Okaa-san” Umi hung up the phone with an aggregative sigh.

“Chi-chan, you need to go back home, you forgot to feed your cat again.” Umi said with great frustration. Chicka eyes widen in shock “And your mom came back home early” as Umi said those words, Chicka honey nut color skin visibly paled in seconds.

Umi saw this and smirked “You Forgot to do your chores again didn’t you?” Chika nodded slowly “Your going to die aren’t you?” Chika nodded again, this time with fear in her eyes. Umi saw this and couldn’t hold in her laughter.

“Hey it’s not funny!” Chicka growled in playful anger.

“Yes it is!” said Umi patting Chika shoulder in pity. “Well I am Off! Je ne!” and with those words Umi turned the opposite direction and left Chika to deal with her doom.

~~~~~~ “Baka-Umi” Chika muttered to herself as she walked the steps to her house, she touched her silky rave hair which is pulled into two braids; she unconsciously fidgets with her hair when she gets nervous.

As she walked into the front door she noticed that all the lights in the house was off except the one in the kitchen. She must be really angry with me Chicka thought as she yelled

“Tadaima*”

“In here” the mother of Chicka called out from the lit kitchen.

As Chicka walked through the hallway to the kitchen she started to hear another voice, a male’s voice. When she entered the kitchen she noticed the second person and was taken back, he was indeed a male, but the custom he wore was just out of place. He had shoulder-length black hair with a tint of blue, soft facial feature of an angel, dark brown eyes that captured the soul of any person, and plump pink lips. In short, he was perfect.

“Okaa-san?” Chika questioned her mom as she traded glances with the strange dressed guy.

“Sit down, Chika” Chicka complied taking the seat nearest to her.

“Okaa-san?” Chika questioned again, this time turning to her mom with a quizzical look.

“I don’t know how to explain this to you Chi-Chi” Her mother softly replied using Chika’s old nickname fondly “I never wanted this day to come, but there is a story I need to tell you.”

“Okaa-san?” Chicka whispered worriedly, afraid that after her mom tells her this story, her life will never be the same.

“The Story is called The Dragon and the Priestess…”

~~~**~~~ In the Deepest darkest part of the Kato Forest is a small castle; around the castle are the tallest oak trees that you could imagine, with vines and unknown creatures roaming about it. The aura around the castle itself would kill the weak; no grass grew around this palace itself, only bones of the dead who tried to enter. Inside of this castle, past many stair cases and through many doors was a room. Within this room was a man with long blonde hair that reached shoulder, dark blood red eyes, porcelain doll face structure, and with soft lips that. This man who sit in this castle who stares out at nothingness smirks, not a normal smirk but a cruel evil smirk that would make even the strongest man fall to their knee’s. This man’s name is Sasuke Kamido.

Another man walked into that room, this one with fox mask covering his face and his long black hair in a pony tail. “I collected another part of Ka Ryuu, Six more items left My Master.” As he placed the second item which looked like a gold vase with ancient texts encircling the middle, he bowed down to the man he called master.

“The priestess” It was more of a confirmation then a question as Sasuke elegantly turned his head towards his servant, his cold blood eyes still remaining unchanging.

“In search of, My master” The servant voice trembled, his throat was being constricted just by Sasuke stare.

“Not Good enough” Sasuke eyebrows went inward making his smooth porcelain doll crinkle in anger.

“Pl-ea-se” The servant gasped each syllable trying to get his master to stop choking him. Sasuke grew tired of this and released his hold on the servant.

“Find her and the Items, do not fail me this time, or it will be your last!”

The servant heard this and scurried off with his tail between his legs.

~~~*~~~ “So your basically telling me, that I am the priestess in that story and you want me to go with him” Chika pointed to the oddly dressed male in the kitchen before resuming “to an unknown fairy tale place to save some unknown fairy tale people? Where there are Monsters and creatures that are in anime and manga? Where I may not come back to…Where I might DIE?!?!!”

Chika’s mother sighed and went to grab for her daughter hand, but Chika snatched hers hand away before her mother got the chance to.

“NO...NO, you guys are crazy and I am reporting you Okaa-san! I am reporting you to the insane house and I am running far away where—” In a split second the guy who was sitting in the kitchen was holding a very knocked out Chika over his shoulder.

“I apologies for knocking out your daughter, but there is not enough time for this.” Kiyoshi said giving a said apologetic smile.

“Its okay, I was going to knock her out anyway.” Chika’s mother said giving a high school girlish laugh.

Kiyoshi gave an awkward laugh at the response and was about to grab the necklace that transported him here until the mother grabbed his wrist.

“You bring back my daughter.” Her eyes down casted as she quickly switched from her girlish mood to her serious mood, when Kiyoshi saw this he gave her the saddest smile his face could muster and she understood that smile very well.

That smile was the smile that told her this might be the last time she will see her daughter.
