[Yuzu]
Yuzu happily cleaned the house, she had already prepared today's lunch, every once in a while she would hear the bells tied to her foot ring, she had started to understand how and why the bells rang.
When one of the monsters was nearby, the bells she had tied to her hand would ring louder and louder like an alarm, the bells desperately warned her of the ever-growing threat to her life, yet when it was just a person's gosht, the ones on her foot would ring.
She had started to consider them threat levels, if the ones on her foot rang, the area around her was safe and when no bells rang, she could go about her day without a care in the world.
So whenever she was walking around in the city and the bells on her hand hang she would leave whatever street she was on, even if that meant being late for school.
There was one problem however, her brother had started putting on those strange cloths and he would go out at night when he did the bells on her leg and her hand would ring.
Sometimes there was a girl with him, sometimes he was alone, she wanted to follow him but each time she remembered that monster carrying her sister away and the giant spider that was about to eat her the day she gained her shield.
She looked around and notice that no one had arrived yet, she was completely alone at the moment, so she lifted her right hand and called to her shield.
Yuzu felt her eyes widen as the bells began to ring before they glowed with soft blue light and took the shape of her shield, however, her excitement was short-lived as the bells on her foot began to ring.
She hadn't bothered to summon her shield back when she had woken up in the other clinic, but she never felt anything wrong with the bells themselves.
The bells on her foot rang louder and louder until Yuzu swore she could feel the sound breaking her head, suddenly the sound was completely gone, however, Yuzu felt her heart speed up as she was filled with fear.
Her once calm blue shield had turned blood red, with a black cross in the center, the shield switched back and forth between light blue and blood red.
It had been two weeks since she had seen the man that had given her her bells, and she was bout to hit her shield hoping that the sound would reach the man when she heard the front door open.
Yuzu's eyes met her twin sisters her shield glowing nither of them said anything, before Yuzu could even say a word, her sister graved her and pushed her into the next room.
Yuzu heard her brother walk in behind him was their dad, the two of them argued, Yuzu wanted to say something but her sister just covered her mouth with her hand.
When they heard her brother walk upstairs and their dad go to his room only then did Karin let go of her mouth.
"I can explain" Yuzu said to Karin.
"You better if dad or Ichigo find out about this...I don't know what they will do but, I know it won't be good." Karin said to her, her voice was shaking.
Yuzu let out a deep breath "Promis me you won't get mad, okay." she said to Karin, but her sister just looked at her, and so Yuzu told her everything that had happened, the monster that had attacked them, the man that had given her the bells, and the fact that their brother had been hiding a girl in his room for two weeks.
Karin graved her hand and pulled her to the front door, Yuzu wanted to say something but her sister didn't give her an opportunity, Karin only stopped pulling her arm when she was certain no one was around.
"Ring the bells, if there is someone that knows what's going on, it's going to be the guy that gave you those things" Karin said to her and so instantly Yuzu hit her shield.
The sound of bells ringing echoed and Yuzu felt someone standing behind her, however, her eyes widen when she realized what was going on.
As she turned around expecting to see the man standing behind her, her eyes widened with shock as she found her self looking at a world covered in white sand, it must have been night because the whole place looked dark, that and she could see the full moon in the sky.
The man walked out, and the tear in reality closed behind him, however, he now had black pants, a gray shirt, and a long white trenchcoat.
"What's wrong?" he asked her before he looked down at her hand and looking at her sister.
Xander immediately reached into his pocket and handed Karin four bells, Karin just looked at him, her eyes were filled with anger and confusion.
"Since you're here, I guess you know everything, use them to call me if bad things happen." Xander told Karin, the girl just looked at him before graving the yellow ribbon tied on her hair and slipping it threw two bells and tying them to her right hand.
Xander immediately used his knife to cut the remaining ribbon, the girl immediately slipped it threw the remaining two bells.
Xander immediately turned to look at Yuzu. "Can you change it back?" Xander asked her.
Yuzu immediately lifted her hand and her shield began to glow before turning back into bells, however, the bells on her feet began to ring louder and louder before turning into black flames and covering her in black fire.
Yuzu wanted to scream but the fire wasn't burning her, instead if Yuzu had to put it into words the fire wasn't fire, instead they felt more like cloths.
"Are you okay?"Xander asked her, as he touched the fire.
"Yeah, it's not burning me."Yuzu answered him.
Yuzu watched the man reach out and touch the fire, instantly she felt her body become heavier and heavier.
"Concentrate on the fire and try to change its form." Xander told her, in all honesty, he didn't know how to do that, but that was something he usually heard in the movies.
Yuzu felt herself become heavier and heavier until she felt the fire moving all around her, she found herself standing inside the white room again.
A girl was standing in front of her she looked like an exact copy of herself nad Yuzu was about to say something when the girl summoned a black shield that turned into a blue arrow.
Yuzu ran away from the crazy girl, even as he fired arrows at her, however, she stopped running when she found herself surrounded by arrows, the girl had never landed a single hit, not because she had terrible aim, but rather she had been preparing this trap since the very beginning.
Yuzu called out to her shield and the bells on her hands rang, the arrows in front of her hit her shield and when she tied to turn and stop the rest of the arrows, she wasn't able to do t.
The arrows pierced her arms and legs, instantly Yuzu began to cough out blood, the arrows were making the veins on her arms and legs turn black, like if they were poisoning her.
"How can someone so weak be the ruler of this world, look at you. You let your brother fight for your sister and yourself."
"You only watched when your sister was going to be eaten and now your relying on a complete stranger." The girl said to her, her voice sounded as if she was enjoying everything.
For a moment Yuzu remembered the black fire and she forced her right leg to move and hit the bells on her left foot, the bells rang and the fires covered her.
Yuzu didn't stop to think about what was going on, she just wanted the girl to shut up and go away, she forced the fire into an arrow and she fired it at the girl.
Xander watched the fire begin to change becoming smaller and turning into a single piece dress, its color didn't change, however, the girl's body did change a little, the veins on her body seemed to glow blue.
The girl's shield had at some point manifested itself again, however, it was back to normal.
Yuzu opened her eyes and forced her shield to turn back into bells, her dress returned to being bells and she watched the worried expression her sister had, soften.
"..." neither of them said anything
Xander watched the sister looked at one another before drawing his sword and cutting an opening in reality again, in all honesty, he still didn't know how the sword was doing this, he was just glad it was working.
Yuzu felt the strange feeling again and she noticed the man walking back into that world, she didn't know why but her legs began to move on their own.
Karin noticing what her sister was doing, tried to stop her, unfortunately, she tripped and the two fell into the portal, the portal immediately closed behind them.
None of them ever knew that Ryuken had seen everything threw the computer in his office, the entire event had happened in the backside of his clinic.
Without saying anything, the man opened a drawer pressed a button and took out a pistol, he graved his white coat and rose to a set of pins and necklaces, he took a couple of each, he switched the open sigh to closed and walked out the door.
He found the spot where the tear, in reality, had been opened ad stretched out his right hand, forcing it open and walked into the portal.
