A Shrine for Aki Kiseki
by Kimiko
Oh my goodness.
I'll try to be coherent and not to gush out too much.
Here goes~.
Aki, dearest Aki,
My stars, I'm so lucky.
With you, I get plucky,
Even if fate goes yucky.
How'd a girl like me
Tangled with sweetest ye?
Is it sheer entropy?
Or cosmic destiny?

A paradox entity. That is what Kimiko is.
Delivered from a darkest fate in ancient Japan, Kimiko left Earth at the age of 10. She was later given a home in the planet Terraiah, a star system nonexistent in her native universe. Her savior,
Raido the Grey One, saw potential in her. A fierce warrior waiting to be unleashed. Kimiko did want to be stronger, far from the cowering and helpless girl that she was when her family underwent great suffering and then led to their doom. So many instructors to learn from. So many arts to discover and practice. So many new foes to clash with. And quite the interesting alliances to forge. The new-found life as a warrior may have been too much for Kimiko. But she didn't give up. She couldn't!
Too much to tell within her time in Terraiah and other star systems in which she was later constantly tasked to uphold peace by brawn, brain, blade and magic. Kimiko had done her best to be in the shadows of acknowledgment, wanting to just be of good service with little to absolutely no reward desired. She wasn't the most by-the-book enforcer herself. She was more of a mercenary, one with access to one hell of an arsenal of dangerous 'solutions.' But as stronger as Kimiko was becoming, the inhuman outcome of her progress was not a core goal her savior wanted for her. He blamed himself for releasing a world-ending monster instead of a sweet, benevolent albeit fierce young woman. Perhaps it couldn't be helped.
A year felt like a decade. A decade felt like century. And a century felt like a millennium. Her body was aging as slow as it takes to cross for light to reach an edge of the galaxy to the other. Her adolescent visage, preserved. Kimiko was brought light much later on by her savior of a most significant truth. And that truth that she was never from Earth. That she was the last of her kind. None dare to speak of her ethereal kind lightly out of respect. It was indescribably shocking to the young lady that all this time, she wasn't really human. However, such revelation didn't stop her from resuming to her duties. It was rumored that Kimiko and Ryu Hayabusa met a long, long time ago when she was honing herself in Terraiah. Records of their alleged encounter and alliance so far in the past were and are still considered implausible and nonexistent.
Kimiko, though the powerful warrior that she is, had been a consistent prey as well. A very delicate prey. She never spoke of anyone about how many of her missions that slipped into bitter turns had her often questioned her life as woman. Those moments were not meant to be lived. They not even meant to be thought of or remembered. Each grim scene was a reminder that she is not as strong as she thought she had become. Whenever she seized a chance, Kimiko just buried herself under the pits and depths of her own misery, crying her heart out. It was her burden to bear, and she simply just needed to keep living on, fighting for others if not for herself.
When Kimiko returned to Earth at the kept age of 15, she met the grand and honorable warrior from the East, Ryu Hayabusa, even taking her under his wing as a student in the ways of a warrior. She was given a warm welcome by the clan, including young Hanzo Hayabusa, Ryu's son by blood. Earth has changed and the young lady who remains in eternal adolescence desires to indulge herself on what the planet has become. And in her travels, Kimiko met and soon wholly bequeathed her heart to a demi-human,
Aki Kiseki, a fierce warrior clad in fur-bound presence of inconceivable adoration. Such passionate and adamant love for the man is destined to bloom further in the ever-painting days ahead. And Kimiko shall see it through.
