Fan Fiction / Zoids Fan Fiction ❯ Never Ending Sorrow ❯ The Waterfall ( Chapter 1 )

HI!!! My name is Dragon…..This is a story about a character in another fic "Anizoids". That was a really good story, if you don't mind. So if you get confused about Shizumi's past, here it is. Check out that fic for props on him and see many new, exciting characters. Though that fic doesn't exactly concentrates on Shizumi, directly, mind you.

One morning, in a garden outside of an Asian rural country, a young man was practicing. He was no younger than 15 and is enjoying life and his training. He was using a katana, a shorter sword used by ninjas due to it's light weight and it's striking ability. At the same time he was admiring the serene surroundings: Lush green leaves on all the trees, moss on every rock. There were flowers of every kind, and the sky was beautiful against the contrast of the mountain region to his left side, which has a beautiful, mirrored, waterfall. He takes his time to look into the waterfall, he sees himself. A lean man, around 5"8', midnight black hair, and he wore a gorgeous grin. He drank some of the water, and then kicked at it.

"Hmm," he pondered "I need to keep on training…"

He thought of his mother and father, who had passed on from an infernal disease. It made him want to-

"AHHH," Don screamed as he back flipped into the air. He punched at the water and did various roundhouse kicks "Mother…Father…I will…try to take care of them."

He then proceeded to meditate under the waterfall, let the gushing water fall on his head.

"Zhou," a little 14 year old girl screamed "When is Don gonna cone home?"

"Agh," mumbled Zhou as his hand met his forehead "If you're gonna be my sis, you're gonna have to respect me! Maybe call me BIG brother?"

"Hey, I don't give!" Shouted an obviously angry girl "I am Reina Shizumi!" she said as she stood up showing herself.

She was really curvy for a 14 year old. She had light-brown eyes, and midnight blue hair that fell to her chest.

"…Whatever…" said Zhou in an obviously very bored tone. He himself had midnight hair, and was very lean as well. Both of them were highly attractive for their age.

Shizumi continued to let the waterfall pound on his head. He had to be stronger, for his siblings, for the promise to his mother and father. He can't let this get out of hand. If anyone was going to defend the family, it would be him. A silver wolf then appeared, but just sat down and watched Don when it began to whimper

"…Wolf," Don started "We can play later but I am training!"

The wolf started to growl, but then put it's head down and just watched it's human friend.

"I'M SO TIRED OF WAITING FOR HIM!" Zhou yelled

"Ah, I'll…get him." Said Reina in a quiet and scared tone

"Great! Now go!" Zhou said as he pushed her out of the house

Shizumi continued to meditate; he could now hear everything around him. Bats in the distance, rustling on the leaves made by a squirrel, and he could even hear Wolf's breathing as it slept. Everything was so serene.

"AHHHHHH!"

A scream pierced the whole garden. Don instantly looked up, jumped from rock to rock, and caught the falling person. When he got down, he found it was none other than his half-sister, Reina. Reina looked at Don, her eyes lighted with fear. Her eyes soften to a glow, and her cheeks caught a rosy hue. She touched his face and then…fainted right in his arms.

"Reina? Are you O.K.? Reina!"
