First Meetings (Part 2)

Part 1 / Part 2

Himiko looked around herself with intense curiosity and surprise as she, followed by the Yokai brothers (she assumed they were brothers), entered the home of the guys in question. She looked around and was surprised to see some Japanese themes here and there, but most of it was utterly foreign to her. There was a U shaped object in the middle of what seemed to be a common room, alongside several other unknown pieces of furniture.

“Elcomeway otay ouryay omehay, Himiko!” The biggest of them, Rafaeru, exclaimed though she had no idea what exactly he said. She smiled, hoping it would ease him. These Yokai siblings seemed to be rather loud people.

“Thank you, Rafaeru-san.” She replied, knowing he would not understand. But when he smiled even wider, she realised he did in fact know what she said.

“Ightray isthay ayway otay adday !” Lio, the blue clad one, said while making an odd gesture she was not familiar with. However, as the brothers went forward, she assumed he wanted her to follow him. Perhaps he was taking her to their father? According to the strange box the purple one, Doni, carried their father did speak Japanese.

Speaking of Doni, he was staring at her with ill concealed suspicion, and was clearly unimpressed by her. She wanted to show this Yokai what she could truly do, as she could see he did not respect her one bit. Men. Men were always like this, Yokai or not.

When their eyes met, Himiko looked away and sighed. She could only hope their father could enlighten this odd situation. The last thing she remembered was the battle with the Onni, her friends nearly dying, a brilliant flash of light and then nothing. Then she appeared here.

Though she did recall why they were fighting those evil Onni… to seal them away, in a separate dimension. Using an artifact she helped create-

“Erehay eway areyay!” Maiki announced as Himiko realised they were in another room with… an odd light coming from a box which landed on the wall and… there were moving paintings on the wall? She was so baffled by it that she almost didn’t notice the chair in front of the apparition and in it was a fat old rat-man, another Yokai perhaps, dressed in an old robe with an unknown symbol on it.

“Ohyay aaaadday, eway otgay ayay uestgay!” Lio exclaimed, earning a surprise grunt from the old man, who was clearly enraptured with the moving paintings on the wall.

“Ohyay oysbay, ifyay ouyay areyay ingtryay otay ypray awayyay ethay vtay omfray emay, ouyay allshay avehay otay oday etterbay anthay atthay!” The Rat-man stated, though he looked suspicious of the brothers, which confused Himiko.

“Eway areyay otnay ingtryay otay ypray ethay vtay awayyay omfray ouyay, apapay, eway ulytray oday avehay ayay uestgay.” Doni replied, still sounding unimpressed. The Rat-man looked surprised.

“Atwhay?”

Rafaeru got her attention as he tapped her lightly on the shoulder. He seemed to notice her confusion and unease as he gestured to himself and then to the brothers and then to the Rat.

“Father.” He said when he gestured to the Rat-man, who had still not yet noticed her. Rafaeru’s pronunciation was off, but she could understand what he was saying. Her eyes lit up as she realised that now she could communicate better. She approached the Rat-man, who finally took notice of her existence and looked surprised.

“Hello Father of Rafaeru-san and his brothers, I am Lady Asane Himiko and your sons brought me here so that we may better understand how I arrived to this… peculiar place. They tell me you are fluent in Japanese?” She introduced herself, and recognition flashed in the Rat Yokai’s eyes. He understood her definitely, and she finally felt at ease.

The entire time, since she had arrived here, she had felt nothing but confusion, unease, and a burning curiosity. But finally being in the presence of another Japanese speaking person who could better address her worries alleviated her pain.

“Good day, Asane-sama! I am Splinter, but my other name is Hamato Yoshi. How did you come to meet my sons?” He introduced himself in turn and asked. Himiko smiled.

This was already so much nicer!

“あさねさん、朝寧さま . 私の名前はスプリンターですが、が私の旧名称は濱戸喜。息子たちとはどのような経緯で知り合ったのですか?”

As soon as Splinter spoke, the boys breathed a collective sigh of relief. And seeing their father’s face light up as he spoke his native tongue made Raph especially happy. He was quite happy his father could speak to another person in Japanese. He could pick out some words, which did tell him that Splinter was introducing himself and asking her… something.

“私の記憶が乏しいのは認めざるを得ませんが、あなたの息子さんたちは、私が説明する言葉もないような、とても変わった場所にいるのを発見してくれました.” Himiko replied, and none of the brothers could pick apart what she said, not even Raph. Splinter then immediately looked at his sons for explanation, which none of them could really reply to.

“Well, boys? Where did you find her?” Splinter asked.

“She appeared after we tried to get rid of this,” Donnie spoke up, pulling out the Key, “By using our Mystic powers.”

However, as soon as he showed it to the room, Himiko immediately went quiet as her face blanched in horror. She looked genuinely lost in the moment as she stared harshly at the Key in question. Donnie’s brows furrowed as he regarded her with interest now.

“I think she knows what this is.” Donnie clarified, his voice quieter, for the obviously confused brothers, who were staring at each other, then at her, for an explanation.

“アレは... 何だか知ってる.” Himiko spoke up, yet her voice was quiet and dead serious. Splinter looked immediately alarmed as he regarded her.

“以前、どこでご覧になりましたか?” Splinter asked. The brothers were lost as Leo looked exasperated.

“Okay, dad, no offense, but-” Leo started, but was promptly interrupted by a suddenly angered Himiko.

“私を牢獄から解放したのですか?” She demanded, yet her voice was still dead cold. She did not raise her voice. Leo looked to Splinter immediately for a translation. Splinter groaned.

“What did you boys do?” Splinter asked, sounding disappointed yet deeply concerned.

“We tried to use our Mystic Powers to destroy the Key! That’s it!” Mikey appeased, trying to ease anything before the quite frankly infuriated Himiko could do anything drastic. Splinter quickly translated for Himiko and she blinked once, the anger vanishing instantly, as she looked at the brothers with intrigue.

“君…” She started but trailed off, looking to the floor puzzled. Then she looked back up at Mikey, who blinked once before looking back at his brothers. Her gaze followed as she looked at them with fascination. And then her eyes lit up with… recognition? “鍵はどうしたんだ?”

“She is asking what happened with the key.” Splinter translated, his own voice dropping as he too recalled all that occurred a few weeks ago. Leo’s expression dropped, Raph looked suddenly uncomfortable, Mikey looked very scared, and Donnie did his best to conceal his own emotions, which were primarily concern and worry.

It was Raph who stepped up to explain all that had happened since they acquired the key. The initial theft of it, the brothers losing it to Hypno and Warren Stone, Casey Jones Jr. arriving to explain that he was from the future and that they needed to get it back, the story of the Krang (which made Himiko freeze up herself), the Hamato clan fighting against the monsters, Leo trapping them and sacrificing himself, Mikey, Raph and Donnie saving him, and most recently, how they tried to destroy the Key to prevent its further use.

Throughout the entire explanation, Himiko had remained silent yet listening to every word as Splinter translated as Raph recounted the tale. Leo stayed the most silent, while Donnie and Mikey interjected here and there to add what they remembered. By the time they finished, Himiko remained silent for a few more seconds before she exhaled and promptly sat down on her knees, her yukata billowing around her.

“みなさんが鬼を倒してくれたことに感謝しています. 私の話もしなければならないだろう.” She said, sounding far more relieved now. She turned to Splinter, who nodded and translated.

“She wants to thank you for defeating the Krang. And she wants to explain herself.”

The brothers immediately looked to her as her eyes were dark and filled with untold suffering. They waited with baited breath as she proceeded to recount her story.

“My father and mother were my village’s Mystic protectors. They were known for making remedies and providing help to those in my village. However, demons who called themselves the Krang came from the stars one fateful day, and my parents took me and the village into hiding. My father wanted us to move to the Hidden Land, the home of Yokai. We lived with my grandfather, a Yokai himself. But I could not sit idly by and let these demons destroy my home. And so a year ago, I left my family to return to the Human realm.

“There I encountered four warriors who were also Mystics, and together we battled the Krang but we could not defeat them. So as a last resort, we all created a Key which could open a portal to another dimension beyond our reach. But the cost was dear, as to keep them there, I sacrificed myself and used my power to throw them in. However, I also had to seal myself as the Key’s bearer.”

As Splinter translated while she spoke, the brothers were enraptured by the story. Raph was fascinated yet also deeply sympathetic for Himiko. He and his brothers could tell she felt a great need to protect her fellow humans and save them from a fate worse than death. He and his brothers had seen what kind of madness they could unleash, and he could only imagine what happened a thousand years ago. It also seemed to strike all of them that she was from the distant past, 1000 years ago. There was a brief silence before suddenly, Himiko was bombarded with questions.

“How can humans use Mystic powers? I thought it was strictly a Yokai/Mutant thing?” Leo asked.

“Wait! The Hidden Land? What’s that? Is that like the Hidden City?” Mikey pestered.

“Your grandfather is a Yokai? Donnie inquired.

Himiko looked overwhelmed by their questions. Raph knew she didn’t understand what any of them said, so he quickly got in between his brothers and the girl. “Guys, guys, give her a rest! She’s clearly had a rough time.”

Himiko said something with a small laugh, which Splinter quickly translated, “She says you are truly kind, Raph, but that she does not need protecting.”

“Aw shucks!” Raph said, blushing suddenly as he grinned and rubbed the back of his head. “Uh, arigato, Himiko-san.”

She simply smiled warmly up at him in response. Splinter himself looked surprised but also proud. Raph knew his Japanese wasn’t that great, but seeing Himiko be delighted by his attempt was sweet. Then without a word, she approached Donnie with a neutral expression and extended her hand out to him.

“鍵をいただけますか?” She asked him. Donnie immediately looked at Splinter, who looked disappointed.

“She is asking to see the key.” Splinter translated. Donnie hesitated before he indeed handed the key to her, which she gingerly took. Their fingers briefly brushed and Donnie had to repress a shudder at the electricity in her hands. He could feel Mystic energy flowing through her. And it was powerful. The sensation was quickly ripped away as she distanced herself from him yet again, a fact he appreciated immensely.

Himiko held the Key in her hands, looking down at it before she closed her eyes and everyone watched as the Key began to glow in her hands as Mystic energy coursed through her and by extension, all four brothers. They watched in surprise and awe as the Key floated in the air in front of her before it blinked out of existence.

“Okay, what happened?” Mikey asked after a moment.

“キーは自分の延長線上にあるものです。私たちは一体なのです.” Himiko said, voice neutral yet she had a small smile on her face. “自由に消すことができる. 破壊する必要はないのです。”

“She says that the key is her and I think that means she can make it appear and disappear.” Splinter translated, though was beginning to sound frustrated every time his sons looked his way lost.

“Wait, how can one be a Key?” Donnie interjected, confused yet immensely curious. Raph sighed.

“I think we just need to accept it. We’ve seen weirder.” Raph explained. Mikey nodded with a grin.

“I will have to get you boys learning Japanese again if you are to properly communicate with Miss Asane.” Splinter added, irritated yet firm.

“Aw c’mon, dad!” Leo complained. “We have you! Why would we need to learn Japanese!”

“Because, Blue, you are all must not strictly rely on me for this. What if I am unavailable? But more importantly, I have shows to watch!” Splinter explained sternly.

“No, dad’s right.” Raph agreed. “We can’t just have a translator with us 24/7.”

“I’ll get started on a translator device.” Donnie resigned, sounding frustrated with the task.

“No!” Splinter exclaimed, smacking Donnie with his tail. “You will learn the language. And Himiko is perfect to practise with.”

“I do think Donnie has a point,” Leo began, leaning against his katana which he played with. “As we learn it, per dad’s instructions, we could also use a computer translator for now.”

“Aren’t online translators kind of bad though?” Mikey asked. Donnie groaned as he was just about to leave the room before he turned around.

“Yes, but it is a temporary solution!” Donnie yelled sarcastically, before marching off. Raph cringed as he watched his younger brother go. Himiko herself looked happy to see him gone, though had no idea what for.

“Gomenasai,” Raph apologised on behalf of Donnie. Himiko, who was standing beside the burliest turtle, smiled up at him yet again. “He can be… difficult.” Even though she didn’t quite understand what he said, Raph could tell she knew what he meant.

“Wait, where is Himiko gonna stay?” Mikey interjected. Splinter thought about it for a moment, before he shrugged.

“Wherever you can find a place for her.” He said simply. “Now, get out! I need to watch my TV!”

Leo snickered as he immediately left, followed by Raph, Mikey, and then by a confused yet intrigued Himiko.

This was going to be interesting.
