The Paul Bearer

Your soon pulled along by an overly exuberant Anko, seems that she want's to show you off to someone named Nai-chan. Being pulled along by her you chuckle alittle at her antics but as she shows you her village you begin to feel something, like your walking through a shadow. Everything feels hollow, empty, Anko feels alive, and happy, but every one you meet on the street feels like your seeing a memory of a memory.

(DOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGG)

The entire world is racked by a loud gong of a bell before freezeing in place. "A memory of a memory....a fitting description young Undertaker!!" A high pitched voice calls from seemingly everywhere and yet nowhere.

(DOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG)

The bell sounds again and a thick fog seems to roll in through the area covering the ground. "Who are you! What's going on?" You call out in a cautious tone. "Be calm young one, I am but a simple voice of wisdom, someone to guide you in the useage of the urn!" The voice calls out again but this time a squat and pourtly man appears from the fog.

"The urn? Then...this isn't a new Zanpakuto?" The small man laughs his high pitched giggle again. "No my young Undertaker, THIS IS THE POWER YOUR FATHER GAVE YOU!!!! There are a few select souls that are contained within the urn that you may call upon." He walks over towards Anko's frozen form.

"This fair creature is an example, you may call upon them when ever you wish. FOR WHAT EVER YOU DESIRE!!" You rub your chin in contimplation. "So I could bring her to life in the Seiretei?" He nods again. "If that is your desire my young Undertaker, then when you awaken simply kneal before the urn, place your hand upon it and call her name!"

He starts to fade from sight. "Wait! Will this happen every night?!" He shrugs. "It is not up to me if the urn calls you or not, BUT BEWARE! SOME OF THE SOULS YOU MAY MEET WILL NOT BE AS FREINDLY AS YOUR NEW MATE MY YOUNG UNDERTAKER!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

(DOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG)

That was the last time of the night you heard those eerie bells. Your time in Konoha was breif, but you met three other souls simmilar to Anko, her freind Nai-chan, or as you found out Yuhi Kurenai. A rather lazy seeming young woman with gravity defying silver hair named Hatake Kakashi, And what seemed to be the leader of the village A woman with a bustline that could put both Renji-hime and Kaiten-hime to shame.

"So....your telling me..that..we're all...dead?" You nod sadly, the moment you met Tsunade you felt compelled to tell her the entire truth. The faces of the girls in the room ranged from suprise, regret and finaly anger. "Damn it!! I finally meet a guy I like and I find out I'm DEAD!! FUCK!!!!"

Anko screams in rage as she throws a chair at the wall. "Calm down Anko-chan, remember what John-san said. He can bring us to life with his urn!" Kurenai calls to her freind as she restrains her. Anko stops for the moment. Then leaps for you. "Listen here damn it! You-you better call me out the second you wake up, you here me!? O-or...I'll really put the hurt on you!"

You can see that besides her tuff exterior her eyes are pleadeing with you not to forget her. "It's a promise Anko-hime.." You whisper to her softly as you gently stroke her chin. "Um...John-san...we wouldnt mind comeing out as well." Kakashi mumbles as she scratchs her head. "Yes, what ever we can do to help you with we'd gladly do." Kurenai and Tsunade nod in agreement.

Before you could say anything else you feel someone shakeing your shoulder. "John-koi, wake up. You need to wake up soon, otherwise Kaiten will **** those Bankura's!!" Yoruichi half giggles as she shakes your shoulder gently.
