Lord Imp (A Harry Potter fanfic)

Chapter one: Impel

Orochimaru's soul tumbled down into the cleansing soul rivers of the earth. From the moment he was submerged, his consciousness left him as his power was gently washed away and used to strengthen the system and the universe he built up with everything he had.

Minato was long gone ahead of him and flicked out from the whipping arm.

A large crack resounded through the two connected universes as his soul was thrown farther than any other soul before.

The river very well couldn't wash away all the power of a god now could it?

Orochimaru was thrown shortly after, through a brand new tear in the fabric of space and time. Minato's exit already sealed behind him.

Both souls soared far and wide through the void of universes with no destination in sight. Both unconscious and incapable of controlling their flights. Minato landed first into a new universe, his too powerful soul slipping into a simpler reincarnation system and stripping him further from his memories. It could not strip away the last of his power.

Orochimaru came crashing into the simple system shortly after and the same thing happened, though there was less power in his soul due to him mostly stripping it himself for the last universe.

Minato awoke as a magical child named Merlin, and Orochimaru awoke as Arthur.

They lived and died, and were reborn once more. Minato became Salazar Slytherin, and Orochimaru became a simple snake, then a bigger snake, then an even bigger snake.

This worlds shinigami thought Orochimaru's soul was well suited to being a snake. So he was constantly reincarnated as one for hundreds of years while Minato continued to become a magical child over and over again.

Finally, Orochimaru's soul grew a little stronger in power after becoming a magical snake, and he gained access to becoming a muggle female.

Minato became Tom Riddle.

Look, I don't even know where to start.

First of all, I suppose I died.

I'm not entirely sure what happened really. I was shopping for some cheese and suddenly there was nothing. I felt some pain type thing in the back of my head, and someone yelled "watch ou-" half heartedly, and then darkness.

I can't even begin to guess what happened.

Next thing I know I'm drowsily waking up in a nightmare of dependence on giants to change me and feed me and speak to me in a language I clearly did not understand.

I also felt prickly.

Like I had warm water constantly flowing under my skin and through my bones and muscles. But prickly. Like the water held pulses of mild electricity tickling my insides as if I were running through a field of tall feathers brushing against me. With some of them backwards and pricking me with the points.

Prickle prickle prickle.

It was nearly all I could think about.

A warm soft thing was pressing on my cheek so I automatically opened my mouth and sucked on it and drank sweet goodness.

This was probably the best thing about this.

Whatever this nonsense is.

I used to think I had been hospitalized, or abducted by giant aliens and under constant anaesthesia. Now I don't really care anymore.

I just exist to eat and shit and get cleaned with soft cloths and cuddled by this giant. Or that other giant. Even the other giant.

There's an insane amount of cuddles and coos and blurry people talking to me in their strange speak.
