Snippet #938569

Saito's eyes scanned the people of the room. When he heard what Hiro had to say, he smirked.

"A....leader, huh? Hmph, fine, do as you all wish it matters not to me. All that matters is ending this threat as soon as possible, and learning who is pulling the threads behind the scenes." He sighed as he pushed off the wall he was leaning on. "I care not who decides to lead, however, if they prove incompetent, I will do as I always do and fight alone. Now, I am aware everyone can take care of themselves, yet a faulty leader can get your allies killed. Remember that." He grabbed his nodachi and started to leave. "I am retiring to my room. You can fill me in on the important details tomorrow. Good night." He said with a wave as he left the room.

Mayari Ruriko walked slowly down the empty streets. The dark hour had just ended, and as usual, she had slaughted many shadows. She had lost count after thirty. To her, killing was the only way left to express herself, to prove she was important. She made her impact with every kill. As she walked, a group of shady men encircled her as she cut through a dark alley. They whistled as they stared at her.

"Whew, lookin' good there. A hotty like you come over this way to say hi?" One of the punks asked. Another one pointed to the wicked scythe in her hand.
"She must be a cosplayer or sumthin'...Look at that crazy get up." The first punk smirked.
"Hey its all good to me. I love that lolita look..." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a switchblade. "Just stay still and don't scream, and I won't have to cut ya. It'll all be over quick..." He moved tword her with the knife. It was then when she started laughing, quietly at first, then loudly, almost maniacally. "Eh, what the hell is wrong with you? You into this stuff or sum-" He sentenced was cut off, as was his head. Blood dripped off of her scythe, and a wicked grin grew on Mayari's face.

"H-Holy shit! That thing is real?!" The secong punk yelled. He was next, as the scythe blade struck into his chest, and went upwards. The others tried to run, when Mayari softly opened her lips. "Tsu...kuyomi." With those words a woman clad with blue and wings of steel appeared behind her, flying past her in a flash. Tsukuyomi instantly caught up to the remaining two punks, cutting their escape off. She held a massive scythe in her hands, which she swung around, cutting the two men in half. Tsukuyomi disappeared as Mayari stepped past their broken bodies.

"Such a beautiful night tonight...I can't wait for the moon to be full, then, I can have plenty of fun." She laughed as she continued down the street, with no real destination in mind.
