Introduction

Image
In the middle of the 15th century, life wasn’t as peaceful anymore. The ‎Government was beginning to weaken and taken over by tyrants known ‎as ‘Onii’. Villagers in Japan have been living in fear due to great number ‎of wars, lack of resources and unfair laws that has been announced. ‎Lords have taken an advantage in this situation and were sucking the wealth out of the blood, sweat and soul of the lower class. ‎Innocent people have been killed mercilessly just because they don't ‎follow the laws or they just feel like shedding blood. Suicide rates also ‎increase because it was believed that it was better to perform seppuku ‎than die from an enemy’s blade. ‎

Image
Legend was spread across towns that there was a rebellion ‎group with very powerful and unmatched skills. With their skills, they ‎roamed throughout Japan, helping those who are in need. Their purpose ‎was to bring peace in Japan and retreat the power back that was taken ‎away from the tyrants. Seven heroes wield a blade and that’s why ‎they are named, the Shichitou, meaning the Blades of Seven. The true warriors' heart and soul have inspired many villagers to hold onto hope and fight ‎in what they believe In. This news brought the Onii to fear and their only solution was to ‎bribe and put the rebel group as the most wanted criminal.

Image
Although there is a hint of peace spreading through each town, there ‎was another group that was just as famous as the Shichitou. ‎Government or not, they would slaughter anyone in order to survive and ‎get what they want. The group is known as the Akumu, meaning Nightmare.

Whenever ‎there is a battle, five survivors were used to spread rumors about the ‎group. Whoever survived, they suffered just as much pain as the people ‎who were slaughtered. Why? No one knew but they claimed that it was ‎black magic.

When the victim is left to live, they would come back with ‎horror in their sparkless eyes, hallucinate and go ballistic when ever ‎someone goes close to them, as if they are in a nightmare. Then when ‎they have calmed down a bit, their voices would tremble as they tell the ‎story about the group.

Finally, after telling their story, the mind breaks ‎and they commit suicide. Doctors found no cure for this illness because ‎they do not have a clue about the cause. All they would say was that the ‎control was the only cure to this suffering.‎


Image
Lastly, their are four demon clans. One in the East, known as the Yukimura Clan. One in the West, Known as the Kazama Clan. One in the North, known as the Tenzou Clan. One in the South, known as the Miyashiro Clan. These demon clans, live peacefully and away from human affairs, though the leaders have caught interest, and have offered there help as a nuetral side...They agree to fight for either side, if convinced.

Each leader has a ninja bodyguard, that follows all orders from their masters. There ninja has been in the family that serves the demons.




Japan has been in chaos for many years. Now that the journey for ‎everyone has begun. Which side would you choose? Will you bring peace ‎in Japan once more? ‎

||Suzo Hikari||


ImageSuzo blinked in confusion. "Did I just hear you try to make something major sound minor? Takaya, dead bandits are not something to be included as something not worth noting." Suzo leaned in towards Takaya, "I'm going to tell you about a little military secret. Back when I was a peace keeping officer my comrades and I had the best way to detect abnormalities and possible threats within the country." Suzo chuckled to himself and took a sip of his tea.

"It was so simple that our main indicator was one word. Bandits," Suzo paused to let the words sink in. "That's right, we use bandits to find possible threats. The simple truth behind bandits are that they're imbeciles. They're cocky, stupid, disorganized, sniveling cowards, and most of all, they are pathetically weak. Most of them are stronger than the average citizen, but they can be easily taken out by anyone or any group of people that have enough training. A sudden unexpected drop in a bandit population usually indicated some sort of abnormal activity, after all bandits don't just disappear. These abnormalities were dealt with by my comrades and I with the full force of our personal companies." Suzo noticed that Takaya was getting impatient.

"I'll get to my point. The fact is that this system is still used to this date. Not to mention that we're dealing with a very paranoid government who jumps at its own shadow." Suzo sighed deeply. "We probably won't be doing business in Kyoto for while now, after all we will be seeing an increased military presence there. I don't blame you for not being able to control Takeshi just remember to be a bit more careful next time." Suzo stood up and pushed in his chair and dropped a few coins onto the table for the tea. "I'll be heading back to the inn, just make sure you and Takeshi are there before sundown." Suzo walked out the teahouse and headed back to the inn to prepare for the feast for tonight.

Takeshi Yuudai


Image
The tall blonde man finally turned to Takeshi and spoke in a harsh and cold tone of voice. Apparently, he believed Takeshi to be a weak... human? An interesting choice of words. What kind of person refers to another as "human"? The answer wasn't clear, but that wasn't a concern for him. However this man may not be human, whatever that left was a mystery to Takeshi.
"I am human, but human is not me." A surprisingly philosophical statement from the likes of Takeshi. He was going to fight this man, that part had already been decided, but Takeshi was currently short his favored weapon while his opponent wielded a katana. While this put him at what most people would think of as a disadvantage, Takeshi thought of it as a challenge. One he intended to overcome. No real point in holding back then!

Takeshi surged forward with shocking speed, easily closing the distance between himself and the man in a fraction of a second, grinning like the mad man he was. His stance had changed while surged as well, his right leg now forward and the left leg back. It was this alternating stance that allowed him to move so quickly even in such heavy armor. His right fist shot out like a loosed arrow, aimed just above the under the rib cage where the spleen was located. His left hand stayed low, near the man's sword hand to block an incoming attack or disarm the man should he falter.

Takaya Kaguya

Image
Takaya simply offered a shrug to the leader, as he chastised about him making the bandit news so minor. He had been to Kyoto before, and it still seemed like such an unruly and annoying place to be. It was always crawling with bandits, and ronins that just picked fights with everybody. As the man continued, He was slowly losing interest in this chatter, and sipped at his warm tea, satisfied that this cup did not have splinters in it.

As the leader stood up, and told him to watch Takeshi, he simply nodded in return,but sighed inwardly. He had been stuck with him for two weeks already. Did he really need to make sure the man didn't go wild again? With another sigh, he placed coins on the table, and nodded in good bye to the owner, as he picked up the other man's scythe. Now...if he was a blood crazy, battle scared, armor wearing man where would he be....

Lookslike another game of hide-and-seek was gong to be played.

Ren Tadashi

Image
Ren watched coldly, as the man spoke back at him. Saying he wasn't human? What utter drivel. He didn't need useless human blood on his sword. It was just a pain to clean off later. His red eyes watched, as the man charged. Although it may have seen fast, to him it was in slow motion. A human's body was too predictable, hardly worth the challenge to a demon who had keener senses then them.

Ren quickly drew his out his scabbard from his sash. He held it so his forearm was protected as he easily blocking the man's clawed punch. He was stronger then most humans as he still felt a little wave of pain shoot up in his arm, but Ren's strength could hold him back. The man thought that he could block his sword it seemed, as his other hand was near it. How wrong he would be. With a grin, Ren shoved the man backwards as soon as the man's punch connected and using his super human strength to have him off-balance, before he brought his sword upward faster than any human could. The sword wanted to cut in an cresant shape, aiming for his exposed torso from his armor. From his left side of his hip, all the way to his right shoulder was where he aimed, as it was the most exposed part of the armor.

Though even if the man managed to block his sword strike, it would easily cause him to bleed blood despite the armor he wore. He had half the mind to even break that precious metal suit he wore...but to do that he'd need his full strength.

"You worthless cur...I'll make sure to painfully wound you and your stupid pride."

Shinka Tenzou

ImageThere were several series of knocks on Shinka's door after having removed the unwanted bodies from her room. Most of them were loud and accompanied with either shouting or a faux polite tone. One time someone even managed to open the door before the meditating nun looked up at them with frustrated eyes before he quickly shut it and his footsteps could be heard hurrying along the veranda. Then it was quiet, and the mantra was the only thing that Shinka could hear, up until another knock which, had it not been immediately clear as to who had done it, would have caused the calmed blood to boil once again.

When Koemi spoke upon entering the room, her words left Shinka feeling as if she had just been scolded, though the young girl was far too subtle about it to elicit any real reaction. Even so, with the mantra having been recited quite enough for the day, and her mind too muddled with recent annoyances to meditate, the introduction of food–good food, not the staled mush they feed to inn patrons–was a blessing. And so her feet ceased resting on her thighs and her hands, no longer forming meditative gestures of folded fingers, were instead on the floor, her palms providing firm support for the eventual rising. Her feet planted themselves properly on the floor and, with a little push from her supportive arms, she was upright and turned to face both her young protector and the meal she had brought for the two of them.

In a few strides she had reached the table with the three little boxes arranged about and lacking any food that Shinka found distasteful. Having surveyed the spread and decided upon what to eat and in which order–the supposed proper order be damned–her legs were then relieved of their arduous task of several steps as her body returned to the floor. After making sure that her loose sleeve wouldn't be dragged through any of the food, she reached across the table and took hold of one of the peaches Koemi had retrieved for her. She took a bite from the fruit, making sure to take in as much as possible without having her teeth hit the central pit, and all of the tension that had been built by people touching her hair or constantly knocking on her door was swept away by the beloved taste.

Swallowing the bits of fruit after she had thoroughly enjoyed their taste, Shinka finally turned to Koemi. "Thank you Koemi. Food foraged from the wilds and provided by pious alms are extravagant feasts compared to the... food these southern commoners eat." She took another bite and chewed enough of it so that her words were more intelligible through the food her tongue was busily processing. "Now, tell me: is there any other task, duty or luxury, that you would like to perform today? Keeping pace with a nun, let alone a demon, seems like it would be tiring and preparing for bed early might be for the best." Her lips curled into that of a smile as her sincere words of worry turned into playful mockery. "I would like to leave for our destination as early as possible tomorrow, and I can't have my young protector becoming drowsy and neglectful during the last day of the journey."

One...Two...Three...Fo-...?


Confused, Tamo counted once more the seats before him. And yet again he came up with three. He stood there staring for a while, than called for the decorator of the dining area. Once announced he had arrived, Tamo turned to the decorator of the dinning room and smiled gently at him.

After counting once more he spoke, "I see the Yukimura Head's seat, the Tenzou Head's seat, and I even see the Kazama Head's seat...but where is the Miyashi Head's seat?"

Sweat fell from the man's eyebrow, as he was faced with Tamo's gentle, but mysterious smile. Tamo continued to stare as the man's eyes widen gradually as he realized the huge mistake he had made, and quite a simple one for that fact. He turned to Tamo, who still displayed his usual smile and looked at the ground, "I did not mean...It was just that, I wasn't think-"

He was cut short by the coldness of Tamo's eyes staring at him, while still holding his carefree smile, "So you expected the Miyashi Head to stand or maybe to sit upon the cold floor, without any comfort? Do you truly believe that is good hospitality?" The man shivered at Tamo's cruel,yet cheery tone of voice. As if to escape the awkwardness, or make it worse, he pleaded his case, "But...Sir...I was just thinking that maybe the Miyashi Head, would be...late to arrive, since she lives the farthest away. `Or that she wasn't coming at all."

It was those words that caused the whole room to fall silent, no one moved an inch, as they feared what would happen. Tamo didn't change his expression once, carefully listening to each and every word the man spoke out of his mouth. Closing his eyes Tamo mediated peacefully on this rare silence, that he hasn't once experienced after two whole weeks of preparation and planning for this important meeting. After a long silence Tamo opened his eyes, revealing his "natural" cheery expression, " Do you have no shame?" The man flinched at the sudden question.

Tamo's gaze remained steady and unwavering, "How dare you speak such as if you can read the Miyashi Head's mind. Do you understand what you have just done? You haven't just disrespect the Head of the Miyashi clan, but our Head as well. We are only lowly servants compared to the Heads. Rather it is our Leader or not, we are to show the utmost respect towards them." It wasn't as if Tamo liked the other Heads, but Setsuna respected them, and that was enough to waver his sense of respect...for a short while. As long as Setsuna enjoyed the other clans company, he would treat them as if he truly cared for their well being.

The man was in utter shock. He was new among the workers, so he hadn't discovered or seen this side of Tamo. Though Tamo seemed unaffected and continued cheerfully, "So how dare you, a mere servant, speak for a Head, as if you are one. Rather she wishes to attend or not, is entirely up to her, but we as the host clan, who is holding this important event, must be ready for anything. And by your choice, it is like saying you believe the Heads are mindless puppets, who need us to make choices for them. Shame on you for disgracing the Miyashi clan and the Yukimura name, which seems to mean absolutely nothing to you."

Though Tamo never raised his voice, the servant froze in fear. He quickly fell to the floor and bowed low to the ground at Tamo,"Please accept my most humble apologize...I would never wish for the Head to be scorned for this, or to show such disrespect to the Miyashi Clan, our honored guest. Or any other clan Head."

Tamo looked upon him quite satisfied by his honest apology, "Than go fix this mess. Now." Without farther hesitation the man raced out of the dining area to retrieve a seat for the Miyashi Head. Tamo stood there and let out a loud sigh. He did this since he was all alone, and he didn't have to put up an image for anyone. He stared out the window toward the garden, and right than his eyes fixed upon the Head of the Yukimura clan...Setsuna Yukimura, a trusting and gentle soul.

A small smile crept onto his face, causing the tips of his lips to curve upward. His tired cold eyes, shone brightly becoming pure and childish, Tamo could only stare at her from afar, as he didn't wish to bother her. But that was all he needed to comfort his agitated heart. Unexpectedly his eyes started to widen, once his eyes got a better look at Setsuna's expression, he knew something was wrong. She looked hazy and greatly troubled. About to race over to her, he was frozen by her pitiful smile.

She must have seen something...


This was happening quite frequently, Setsuna's visions. It wouldn't be a problem if it was about other people, but they weren't. All of them had been about her past, and they have only been getting worse and worse. More detailed and more vivid. He knew this was only causing her pain.

He watched as Setsuna was called upon by a servant girl, and as usually Setsuna forced herself to smile brightly for the girl. He stayed silent as Setsuna slipped away to prepare herself for the meeting. And left alone, Tamo clenched his fists into a ball, causing his pale hands to turn even whiter with the frustration of being useless. Sighing he went on to prepare for the Heads to arrive, knowing him complaining wouldn't help Setsuna at all.

Amaterasu heard a noise in the corner of her ear. She didn't stop the horses or slap the reins, but did immediately turn around to face the bush that had made the shriveling noise. Ama let one tight grip off the ropes and reached down for the sword at her waist. She was always the woman to be cautious of anything, whether it's just a stranger passing by, or a bird chirping in the trees. Her hearing was definitely acute, and she liked to use that to her advantage when protecting her mistress.

After a while of looking back and realizing that nothing had jumped out threateningly, she turned back to the front, letting go of her sword and grabbing the reins again with both hands, letting out a sigh. Ama knew that she was always over protective, and she knew that it was simply annoying to many people around her, and she wondered if her mistress thought that way about her too, but she decided to focus on getting the two of them, and the others that were following behind, to the Yukimura territory.

"Amaterasu calm down and relax a bit. Don't you think I've thought of all the possibilities before making the decision to come here? Being the clan of the South we are to travel the farthest than the other Heads."

Ama opened her mouth to say something, but found it better to think before speaking, something she hardly did and a flaw that was easily pointed out by anyone. After a little while of silence, Ama answered while looking back at her, "Yes... I understand, Miss Ayane. I suppose my imagination of the worst makes me doubt your thoughts." She felt bad, since she was so protective, that it could get the better of her and upset her mistress. That was something she was set on changing over the passing time.

" Amaterasu, think about it. Do you really believe I would be wasting my precious time with this trip if it didn’t mean something? Everything has its purpose and this is no exclusion of it. Even if things were to go wrong as long as I am able to get away everything will be alright. Besides I wish to see how the others are doing and this is a rare chance to do so."

Ayane then puffed a dragon-shaped black cloud into Ama's face, causing her to pull back a bit and cough at the same time. She then turned her eyes back to the road, thinking about her words, although her thoughts were completely contradictory to what she was planning on saying. It was hopeless, after all. Ama's defensive nature wouldn't leave, no matter how hard she tried. She's always worry and take extra cautions, but just to see if she could fool her mistress, she put on the most natural smile possible and said, "After thinking through logically... I believe you are right, mistress, just as you always are."

Although she was originally planning on leaving it at that, she then said slowly, and quiet, "Mistress... have you ever met with the Yukimura? Or any of the other clan heads?" Ama, even as a protective person, still had her moments of curiosity, like any other human being. Although she wasn't really a human. Or a demon. But still, "Well... I suppose it won't matter since we'll be meeting them today." Ama said, slapping the reins down since the horses slowed their pace.

A little while later, the scenery changed even more dramatically. The plains Ama was used to seeing after living under the Miyashiro for so long had been reserved into a green landscape of trees and plant life, more than she even thought could exist. It did fascinate her, to think that people lived in that sort of environment normally, and sometimes it all took her eyes off the road and she'd sometimes hit a rock underneath the wheel by accident, immediately apologizing various times to her mistress for the bumpiness. It happened a few times though, since she couldn't help it.

Ama had paid so much attention to how everything looked that time seemed to have flown by. When time slowed, Ama was usually bored or in a bad mood, while if she wasn't, time lasted a mere second; and that's how it really felt. Because of this, she realized she nearly hit the wall of the Yukimura's house, stopping the blinded horses just a few feet from the stone, "Miss Ayane," She began, hopping off the carriage and directing one of the servants to tie the horses to a pole, "We've arrived at the Yukimura's household."

Once the fantasy world she saw, through the green trees and plants, had disappeared, she snapped out of it and into her defensive mode once again. Her hand was laid onto her sword in a fashion that could easily be pulled out when needed, and she went right to Ayane, just in case anything were to happen. Surprisingly, no other heads had arrived just yet, 'I suppose I must have driven the carriage slightly faster than anticipated...' But she just solved this with a small shrug, 'Being first here cannot hurt. The Miyashiro are always on time. I expect our first impression to be the best...'

"Do you need help getting out, Miss Ayane?" She asked, offering a hand if needed since she wanted to do anything possible to assist her mistress. Yet at the same time, her eyes seemed to have speculated the grounds coldly. Almost like a priest staring into the eyes of a demon, Ama didn't look as if she was trusting of the clan they were visiting, or any other clan for that matter. All that mattered was the Miyashiro, and the Miyashiro only.

Takeshi Yuudai


Image
Takeshi had been right. This man was not human. No human he'd ever faced had the speed, the skill or the daring to block one of his punches. With a scabbard no less, to minimize damage to the arm. However, the punch caused the scabbard to split length wise along the seam where the two wooden pieces met. Suddenly the man pushed him with inhuman strength, attempting to throw him off balance. Takeshi moved with the push instead of against it, allowing his body to naturally find a point of balance.

Takeshi knew what would happen next. The man would swing upwards and across, attempting to cut him along his exposed torso, as it was the best attack that could be made with where he held the sword. Takeshi ducked, leaning to the right, barely avoiding the deadly blade, even losing a few hairs to its edge. This was bad. This inhuman man held to much of the advantage, he needed his scythe if he was going to kill this one. Acting quickly, Takeshi spun his body to the right and kicked himself away. The spin caused the strage flail on his back to swing in an ark for the man's neck. Not caring whether or not the flail hit the man, Takeshi threw himself out of the alley and into the street. He'd have to stick to the defensive, his attacks simply wouldn't have an effect on this man until he got a weapon.

"Did you see those two thugs fighting over there?" A girlish voice came from the crowd of people.

Takaya paused, to hear the gossiping women by a merchant. Fighting men...there was probably a chance that it was Takeshi as one of the combatants in that battle.

No way! There is? Is it that fellow in the Black metal? He was walking by earlier, and looked like that type to pick one! Howdreadful."

Takaya sighed inwardly,as that confirmed the fellow warrior was indeed the one in the fight. An ally way...that would be straight forward from here. A frown pulled at the corners of his lips, as he walked towards the ally. He was getting strange looks as he carried the other's scythe around the district. After all, the other was known to do so, not so much him.

As he grew closer, he heard the sounds of battle and walked faster, and stopped when he saw the said man that he was looking for. A eyebrow raised in question, he then said "...Takeshi...what are you doing?"



Ren Tadashi

Image
A smirk was easily seen on his face,as the man flew backward. He had missed his neck by a few inches. He glanced down at the now split scabbard, and sighed. He'd have to repair it later.

Ren didn't move out of the ally, after all if he did that would give his interest a chance to run away-something he didn't want right now. This man was simply just a distraction, an annoyance. A bug. And even lower then that. All humans were. With that thought, he glanced back at the girl, then spoke towards her.

"You are a demon...yet you don't know which clan your from?" His voice was cold and sharp. A scowl returned to his face as he waited for the girl's response. He was very interested in her, after all her speed was like a demon, yet her strength was hardly worth it.

The Ronin's eyes grew larger in fascinated horror as she watched the two foreign men repeatedly clash, one showing enormous reserves of strength and the other staying alert. They are..so brutal mused that repulsed conscious, instinctively causing her small form to shy away from the loud sounds. Giving visible shudders at the harshly blood-curdling shatterings and splinterings, Rin couldn't help but follow her instinct to move away from such gruesome sounds and to the safety of the further corners of the alley way, her mind now racing for a chance to escape. Hopefully the man in the stranger armor will give me enough time to escape.. suggested her thoughts helpfully as the demi-oni went back to scanning the wooden walls for a route out.

However, that hope was short-lived as the foreign newcomer was forced out of their small space, any traces of avoided confrontation following at his heels. Silently cursing the bad luck evidently bestowed onto her being, Rin immediately felt the demon's presence near her own. His aura.. it's strong... whispered her appraisal, not even having to put her unique ability in use to detect the change in the air. Biting her lower lip, attempting to remain calm and collected, the Ronin spun on her heels before latching that cooled gaze onto him. "I demand to know what you want from me."

No more than a mere second later did that authoritative command pass from her lips did the approaching demon sharply bite out. "You are a demon...yet you don't know which clan your from?" Trying to keep that unfazed facade painted onto her features, Rin calmly quelled the panicked bubbling within herself. Unfortunately, her tone didn't receive the memo.."I...h-have no clue w-what you are talking ab-about!"

Another scowl on his face showed he didn't like the girl's response. Was she just playing dumb? Unless she was a leader or something...no...she seemed to young. The man sighed, before then saying "I don't like it when people waste my time...though that man seems to want too." Humans like him always came back...like the low-lives they were. Glancing behind him, he knew that in a matter of moments the human would come charging back in...but to an empty ally way. He clutched his scabbard together, and slid his sword inside.

He walked over fast, grabbing the girls arm, before throwing her over his shoulder like dead weight, or a bag of rice. She was quite light, so it was very easy. His felt his body shudder as his blonde hair turned into a snowy white, and eyes faded from a crimson red to a bright, glowing yellow. He felt his horns protrude outside of his forehead.

Clutching his broken scabbard and katana, he slid it back into his obi sash, and placed his black haori over it so it skillfully hid it. Quickly, he blinked, and bent his knees slightly tensing his muscles before releasing the tension.

He jumped and grabbed onto the roof's edge, and easily pulled the two up.

"Make any sudden moves...and I will kill you." He said simply, his low voice icy and sharp.

With that said, he raced on the rooftops, quietly. He didn't feel like humoring any more humans today, after all everything seemed to annoy him today since it it was the usual edo heat. As he ran, he spoke again, still sharp,

Now...What exactly are you? Your too weak to be a demon, yet too fast for a human. Keep in mind, I am not afraid to drop you from here."

A small flash of unease echoed within Rin's core seeing the bitter scowl mar his model-worthy features, a sigh that could be described as impatient soon accompanying the expression. "I don't like it when people waste my time...though that man seems to want too." were his merciless words, each single syllable cutting the air much like a sharpened blade. As he fluidly slide his katana back into the splintered scabbard, a flutter of hope buzzed through the Ronin. Maybe he got tired of me?

That illusion was as quickly shattered as it was given life. The demon suddenly marched over to her still form in a blur, his vise-like grip shooting out once more to latch onto the thin arm connected to her stature. Before even allowing a protest to escape, the stranger hauled the demi-oni's doll-esque build over his shoulders, the barely existent weight not seeming to bother him. And yet, remarkably enough, he still managed to keep the slivered scabbard together enough to hold his precious blade.

Before it even registered in the farthest recesses of Rin's mind, they were sailing upwards through the air with a feline grace. Stifling a yelp of surprise in her throat, the girl attempted her best to keep the breathing even and calm... after all, why give him the satisfaction of knowing he caused her to panic? Just before they could fall back down to Earth's greedy pull, the demon man darted his grip forward to connect on a roof's edge, his strength flawlessly pulling them both over. "Make any sudden moves...and I will kill you." hissed out his quiet voice, glass shards not even being able to be compared to the cutting edge lacing his tone. And with that, he began to run.

Instinctively, as they sailed over rooftop to rooftop, the half-oni's mind began to race with possibilities. Escaping successfully, dying in combat, falling off the roof... all of those raced through her mind, the first scene by far the most pleasurable. Sinking the slightly pointed canines into her lower lip, Rin immediately began her analysis on how to escape. Your katana.. as long as you don't unsheathe it, you should be fine.. muttered her conscious, the words wistful as always. Twitching a single hand to lay splayed across his shoulder, the demon apparently not thinking it as an odd gesture, she was prepared to escape when his imploring questions caught her off guard.

"Now...What exactly are you? Your too weak to be a demon, yet too fast for a human. Keep in mind, I am not afraid to drop you from here." If he were to observe the gleam within those royal purple orbs, then perhaps this stranger would have known his question stung. What..exactly am I? whispered that hurt voice, bitterness only slightly singeing it's tone. After all, it was the question she was in long pursuit of.. seeing as she could belong to neither side.

With a small growl of frustration, the Ronin pushed away such emotion-laddened distractions to concentrate on the skill at hand. Placing both hands sprawled across his shoulder, her feet moving in a blur to rest flat against his chest, the girl summoned strength in her limbs to propel away from his hold. Sailing through the air with abnormal grace, Rin managed to land on her feet a yard away from her captor, the sheathed katana pointed at his still form. "Beat me.. and you'll find out." came her challenge, defiance and determination reflecting back in her locked gaze.

Ren blinked, as he felt the girl moved slightly. He let out a growl in surprise, as the girl pushed against his chest to break his hold of her. He narrowed his yellow eyes, as he looked at the girl, and watched as she spoke. Did she have a death wish? Her blade was still sheathed, as she laid out her challenge. This caused him to chuckle that was thrown into a full blown laughter.

Although he was laughing, it held nothing but cruelty, and scorn. As if someone had told him a funny joke. As the fit died down, his sharp yellow gaze locked into the girl's purple orbs. His eyes held nothing but malice, but there was a flicker of amusement within it.

"How amusing! You actually think someone like you could defeat me?!" He said, his golden irises never leaving the girl's face.

He took out his scabbard from his sash, before drawing out his blade, allowing the light to reflect off towards her. He threw aside the broken wood, as he didn't need it any longer. An arrogant smirk played on his lips, as he looked toward the girl. His white hair fluttered in a light breeze, as his yellow eyes bored into the girl's purple one.

Ren pointed his sword at the girl, the point gleaming dangerously in the sun. "I'll make sure you regret saying those words...you annoying brat!"

As soon as the last words were out of his mouth, he charged fast towards her. His speed had increased form the earlier battle, since he was in his true form. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the girl, grinning. Smiling not at all, as his lips and eyes were like a predator that had cornered its prey. His sword was slashed low, aiming for her legs. The girl's forte was speed,a s he observed before, so take out the legs she can't get away.

Rin's eyes flashed, briefly mind you, with hesitation watching the demon in front of her break down into a laughing fit, anxiety and uncertainty now making her doubt her actions. What is he.. a mad man!? barked her outraged thoughts, only giving the ever-so-slightest sign of a flinch hearing the cruel scorn. When his moment had crumbled away, a silence now stretching between the two, the only sound that resonated seem to be the whispers and murmurs of the wind... and as their eyes connected, Rin couldn't help but feel an overwhelming curiosity at what her expression must be. Was it terrified? Determined? Surely, it wasn't malicious like the man in front her was?

"How amusing! You actually think someone like you could defeat me?!" echoed his incredulous tone, liquid gold never once flickering away from deep violet. Attempting her best to keep that climbing heartbeat even, the Ronin girl quelled vainly the exaltation, the familiar sensation, the comforting assurance, bubbling up in her veins, that sense of fear being lost in the adrenaline. It was then, as he drew his sword, the symbol for any oni's power, that Rin's own hand did something out of it's normal habit; it twitched on the scabbard, almost yearning to unleash the lethal steel from it's cage.. to release her true form. Don't. hissed her conscious, instead choosing to focus her attention on the arrogant smirk gracing his beautiful features. In a blur through the air, the glistening tip of his blade was pointed at her china form, his words dangerously cruel. "I'll make sure you regret saying those words...you annoying brat!"

Rushing forward, his speed noticeably faster than before, the Ronin couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Perhaps it was his increased physique or perhaps it was the confusing target he chose, but the oni just froze in place.. never mind the bullet of a human charging her head on. It was then, as he neared with that predator aura, that it finally processed in her mind to move. Jump, you idiot! screeched her conscious, the body willingly bending to it's commands. In a speed that matched his, Rin dodged to the right, only a small gash on the corresponding calf appearing. Not even bothering to give a wince, that warmth already filling her leg, the Ronin let out a small hiss of frustration. Dodging around his side, Rin created a distance between them, immediately her being focusing on finding a weak target.Aiming for my legs..? Thats pretty low.. is that all you have to offer?"

Ren grinned as he smelled the scent of blood, as his blade cut toward her light skin. He didn't bother to turn, as the girl questioned his attack. He simply turned, a grin easily situated on his lips, as his gold eyes scanned their target for the wound. It was already healed, just as he expected. He let out another chuckle, before speaking once again.

"My dear girl...fights don't have rules...Besides...because of your accursed healing ability, I'll have a bit of fun with you first..." As he spoke, he lifted his sword once again, before flicking off the little blood that was on it. A grin that could only be called psychotic was still easily visible on his features, though his eyes now held only amusement as he turned to face the girl. Why hadn't she drawn her weapon? She surely wasn't just being arrogant, and thought she could beat him without it...did sh really expect to win like that?

His eyes flashed, and inhuman speed over took him. He was in front of her again, easily closing the distance in less then a second. His sword slashed wildly, and quickly, with only the light reflecting off the blade to show he struck. He tried to slash her to the left, then to the right, then the left again. He focused on using quick strikes to give her less time to respond.

He held back his strength though, as he didn't want his fun to end so soon. Even if the attack hit, it would just cause the skin to break. Whatever this girl was, she was quite interesting...it would be a shame for her to die so soon when he just found something amusing once again.

With that thought in mind, he jumped backwards slightly, before slashing at her legs once again. It hit before, so why not again? A smirk playing on his lips through out the whole attack, and amusement as he watched the girl's movement to dodge or attack. He didn't care, as long as he had the advantage of strength, he would surely win.

"You are highly amusing, for a brat that is..." He hissed out, as he slashed.

The demon had turned to face her, a masochistic grin playing onto his lips, his liquid gold scanning her body for evidently their next target and a mirthless chuckle soon tying the madman image together. "My dear girl...fights don't have rules...Besides...because of your accursed healing ability, I'll have a bit of fun with you first..." rumbled his psychotic words, spine-chillingly cold. Adding to the theatrical performance, the assaulter merely gave a quick flick of his bade, droplets of Rin's very own scarlet decorating the blackened tiles. Eyes drawn to the spraying droplets, a breathlessness overtook her body's system, amazement shining brightly in her dark orbs. Thats..my...blood.. whispered her broken thoughts, eyes narrowing just slightly as they wretched themselves from the gore to focus on the enemy.

"Don't you dare call me a pet name, you demon! It's vile." came her quiet hiss, distaste prominent in her demeanor. Seeing his eyes flash, the Ronin's body instantly tensed, prepared for another wave of attacks to hit her.. and she was right to do so. In a blink of an eye, literally, he had already closed the distance she carefully constructed and judging by the bloodthirsty gleam in his molten gaze, he was serious about having fun.

Almost untraceable to the human or untrained eye, the demon began to execute remarkably flawless strikes, his blade appearing in all directions. Gritting her teeth, Rin desperately tried to jump away.. but to no avail. Every second she backed up was a second her skin was broken, the oni blood kicking into overdrive to protect it's vessel from any harm inflicted onto it. "You are highly amusing, for a brat that is..." was his hiss, any audible words immediately losing itself on the Ronin. After all, when adrenaline and blood is pounding through your system, any outside disturbances seem to vanish. Come on Rin.. fight! encouraged that inner voice, hope elevating the prodding further. Gritting her jaw in determination, the girl finally lashed out with her sheathed katana, all in spite of the constant slashes her body was receiving. With a tad bit more force than needed, Rin brought down the wood-encased katana onto her attacker's head, a sickening crack filling the air.

Shiba opened his eyes slowly, looking up at the rays of sunlight broke through in between the leaves of the tree. As he looked towards the entrance to the village Aya was still nowhere in sight. "How long does it take to get ready to leave?" Shiba thought to himself as he sighed. As he slowly started to stand up he could hear Aya in the distance saying bye to everyone. Aya emerged from the entrance of the village in her normal attire looking ecstatic. "Did you take long enough or should I take another nap." Shiba said with a smirk.

Aya puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms, and proceeded to lecture Shiba on why its impolite to rush a lady. After Aya finally noticed that Shiba had all, but stopped paying attention. They proceeded to get on with the long trek from Kazama village to the Yukimura village. As they walked with an escort for a short distance until they reached the outside of another small human village. There a wagon was waiting with two deep tan colored horses, the escort helped Aya up onto the wagon Shiba. Shiba grabs the reins and looks at Aya "You ready, it's going too be a few days before we arrive. I have already arranged for some places along the way were we can stop, eat, and sleep."

A few days go by as the two travel by wagon, and get ever so closer to the Yukimura village. By now they were still a day or two out, but as Shiba looks around his eyes start to close ever slow slightly. He could feel as his body tells him to sleep while his mind tells him to push onwards, the constant long uneventful days have slowly drained him with little time to sleep since he is constantly staying awake to watch over Aya since they are away from home and unprotected. As Shiba repeatedly blinks trying to stay awake, his body slowly nods back and forth in a tired fashion. Shiba looks over, as Aya sleeps and decides it's better to stop then to risk an accident. He pulls off towards a rather fair sized village and gets directions towards the nearest inn, they arrive and after sneaking Aya into one of the rooms as to not alert anyone to her presence Shiba finally sits down in the corner exhausted from the countless hours awake.

Aya convinces Shiba somehow to take a nap at least so that he can recover his energy. As he lies down, he can feel his breathing get heavier and a headache set in. Quickly Shiba drifts in to sleep and is completely out.

Another chuckle left his lips, as the girl commented on how vile he was. Didn't he already say he was going to show her how vile he was? With another smirk, he watched as her wounds closed almost as quickly as it healed. He could easily read her next move, as she lifted her wooden scabbard.

A grin showed up on his lips, as his gold eyes seemed to challenge her to do it...which she did. He soon felt the hardened wood on his head...Although it was clear he could have dodged easily.

He stood still, for a few seconds, as he felt whatever bruise had formed heal instantly. Ren then let out a surprising laugh, before leaning backwards and taking a few steps backward. Though unlike his earlier laughs, this one was just full of amusement. His snowy hair then started to darken, back into its usual golden color. The yellow eyes darkened as well, changing back to his usual crimson eye color.

"You knew what I was...yet you still insisted on doing an attack like that?!" He said, before letting out another laugh. Was this girl stupid? or just not that bright? Possibly both. His red eyes locked back to the girl's, before speaking again.

"Your too amusing to kill, you woman...What's your name so I can remember your stupidity?" He asked, as he flicked his blade to get the blood off once again.

Image
Takeshi turned to see Takaya standing next to him with his scythe in hand, questioning what he was doing there near the alley. He snarled and snatched his scythe as he spoke. "Fight. Man not human. No time to explain. Fight!" Even though he said there was not time to explain, he took a small moment to gaze fondly at his scythe. In Takeshi's strange and heavily damaged mind, his scythe was like an extension of his soul. He'd been foolish to leave it in the tea shop, even under Takaya's care. He choked his hand up near the blade so it could be held easily while moving and threw himself back into the alley way. An empty alley way. He scanned the area. There weren't any escape routes except... He looked up towards the roofs and noticed a small section of the roof's edge was broken. He went to the roof tops? That bastard.

With a heavy sigh, and around a minute or two of Takeshi punching a wall until the wood was now a small pile of splinters, Takeshi exited the alley and rejoined Takaya, looking like a dejected, and mildly rabid, puppy. He grunted what might've been a greeting before slowly walking towards Yamaguchi inn where Suzo was likely waiting for them.

Automatically, those violet orbs narrowed in wary discontent hearing a distorted chuckle fill the air, his smirk never once leaving his mouth. This man... he has a serious problem with always laughing.. whispered her disapproving conscious, a frown flitting across those fine features seeing him not dodge such a simple attack. However, the abrupt backing away was what caused shock to fall over her being. In fact, she was so dumbfounded in caution that the Ronin barely took notice of the demon's sudden appearance shift.. nor the amusement, the polar opposite of his scorn, that was quite evident in his tone.

"You knew what I was...yet you still insisted on doing an attack like that?! You're too amusing to kill, you woman...What's your name so I can remember your stupidity?" floated out his light-hearted demands, another small burst of laughter following them. Tearing her prying gaze away from the cleaning of his blade, Rin finally muttered out under her breath, agitation seeping into each word. "I'm not ''stupid'' or ''dim'', so please clear that notion from your mind." Finally retraining that unwavering gaze onto him, a vacant blank masking any emotion on display, the half-oni merely fell silent. My name... why... i mean, I don't know his.. but I could always.. debated her inner thoughts, indecisive as always.

Finally, as minutes dragged on, Rin gave a soft, resigned sigh knowing this would be the best option. Keeping that silent demeanor, the Ronin latched her gaze onto his crimson, her very own orbs lightening in color. In a heartbeat, they were suddenly glowing a bright fluorescent shade of purple, the pupils nonexistent. From her standpoint, surrounding this stranger, was the most beautiful shade of scarlet of any demon she had met before. Swirled into the bloodied tendrils around him were intense shades of spun gold and black, each hue more vibrant and breath-taking than the last. The aura of a demon.. so I was right.. mused her thoughts as the gaze travelled upwards. Latching onto a sight above his head, Rin's eyes widened just ever so slightly. Floating magically in the same scarlet hue as his aura, a name was written in a script that would even case Shakespeare to go green with envy. "Kyo...ya Kaz..ama" came her soft whisper before an attacking pain spilt her skull. In a blur, her hands went up to grasp her temples in a futile attempt to battle off such inflictions, the world blacking out.

Takaya simply released his hold on the scythe, as the other man snatched it with a snarl. He did give a confused look, as Takeshi spoke of the "Man not human". Comment. What did he mean? But before he could voice this question, the man had marched back into the ally, scythe in hand. It was a few moments,until he heard some wood cracking.

Then the metal man marched back out, a look of a cross between sadness, and blood-lust on his face. He raised an eyebrow in question. Had the other man been boring to fight? As Takeshi grunted, Takaya walked quickly back to the ally, expecting to see a dead body that lay in the hot sun...but was graced by no sight of that.

He did see a pile of some splinters, no doubt that was the noise he heard from. He looked toward the roof, and saw a piece hanging off. So... the opponent had escaped then...most likely when Takeshi was outside then?

WIth that thought, the quiet member turned and walked back out of the ally. He decided not to say anything towards his partner, as he may snapand take it out on him. He followed quietly, as he heard a familier loud voice. Blinking, he turned towards it, and saw Yuji and Sakurai. He let a small sigh of relief, as he saw they seemed safe.

"Perhaps...we should join up with them? Then we could go back to the leader altogether." He said, as he tried to get Takeshis's attention.

Ren simply waved his hand in dismissal as the girl retorted about not being stupid her dim. He found that quite laughable, after all the girl had just tried to take on a demon with out her weapon. And worse of all, she even knew he was a demon. It was quite stupid in his opinion.

He could see as the girl debated whether or not to respond to his previous question. Though she just stared at him, with those big purple eyes of hers. He simply tilted his head, as he stared at the girl. She seemed to be conflicted on just anwsering a simple question. Though then, he noticed as the girl's pupils disappeared in the shade of violet.

He raised an eyebrow in question, as the girl continued to stare. Ren then blinked in surprise, as he notice her eyes have a faint glow to them...that skill...it was called "Aura reading" or something. Some people in the Kazama clan had that, and that's how his plot all those years ago was leaked. So...she was a demon? But...then why wasn't her strength up to par?

Ashe continued to ponder this thought, the girl spoke, a soft and airy whisper.

"Kyo...ya Kaz..ama"

That spoken name caused him to stiffen visibly, and he narrowed his eyes at the girl. No one had called him that accursed name in so long...how did she know it? Though before he could question it, she held her head. Blinking, he walked over, to take a closer look. She seemed to be in pain...but why? Though before he could voice it once again, he felt her smaller frame fall into his chest.

"......You...." He looked down at the girl, who still was writhing in pain slightly. She didn't seem to notice that his body kept her from falling to the ground, as she battled the pain. How did she know his real name? He was sure they had never met before...so how? This question stayed rooted to his head, as he tried to think of an explanation. Could it be from the aura reading she did? With a sigh, he grabbed her smaller shoulders to make her stand up straight. She seemed to be out cold. Another sigh escaped his lips, before he picked her up and shifted her onto his back. He knew what he was doing was out of character for him, but he couldn't help himself.

He jumped down easily, before walking into a nearby inn, checking in quickly and heading to the room. He placed her on the futon and covered her, before sitting by the window. His sword,still unsheathed lay by him, and he picked it up by the handle after he slipped off the black haori he wore. Taking out a cloth from his sash,he began to polish it, absent-mindedly as he waited for the girl to wake up.

Takeshi Yuudai


Image
The two walked in silence for a small time, Takeshi still brooding over his escaped prey. What was he? What manner of creature could be that strong? It seemed Suzo's promise had finally proven true. An opponent worth fighting certainly, but he'd neglected to mention that some of them may not be human. Takaya's voice pulled him from his thoughts and directed his attention to one of their comrades who stood outside a small sake shop. Yuji had made it back safely it seemed, though it seemed was up to his usual mischief. How that man could make buying a nice bottle of sake so difficult, Takeshi had no idea, but he was in one of his moods. These moods were infamous amongst his comrades for stirring up trouble and starting fights with anyone who ticks him off. Said mood drove Takeshi to the counter of the sake stand.

He glared at the stall keeper with his maddened blood red eyes and growled more than he spoke. "Problem?" The stall keeper swallowed audibly when faced with Takeshi's question. "W-Well, err... T-this boy wishes to purchase some s-sake... But I don't think he's of age to be drinking yet..."
Takeshi growled and raised a fist, slamming his palm onto the wooden counter. He removed his hand to reveal three 10-yen pieces embedded deeply into the wood. "I buy." He took the bottle of sake and went back to his comrade while the merchant set about trying to pry the yen out of his counter. Takeshi shoved the bottle into Yuji's hands before grabbing the man by the collar and literally dragging them towards Yamaguchi inn. "Suzo waiting. Meet now."

Koemi did her best not to show her displeasure of the fact that Shinka had gotten into a confrontation in her short ten minute absence. She knew very well of the Lady's temper, you could not be a member of the Tsukino family and not know; but Koemi still had her quiet respect for the the Tenzou head that had practically usurped her position from her older brothers. Koemi herself had taken the position as the Tenzo head bodyguard against she odds and wishes of others who could have just gone against her father's wishes once he was gone. No her father had held high ranking and respect among the members of the family and his decision stood even after his passing.

Koemi watched as Shinka took bite after bite of her beloved peach, the demons look of pleasure was sublime, the fruit always seemed to draw the same reaction from Shinka. Koemi herself was not very fond of the fruit, but if it brought a small moment of happiness to Shinka, Koemi was happy to be there to witness it.

"Thank you Koemi. Food foraged from the wilds and provided by pious alms are extravagant feasts compared to the... food these southern commoners eat."

The bodyguard nodded "I was sure that you would not have been at all interested in eating the stew the inn keepers wife had prepared for he patrons and remembered the little restaurant we passed on our way into town. So you are very welcome my lady, I only wish to see you safe and enjoy yourself on this journey."

Koemi took chopsticks in hand, but did not take any of the food for herself she would wait until Shinka was finished and then serve herself from what remained. As Shinka took another bite of peach, Koemi patiently, and respectfully waited.

"Now, tell me: is there any other task, duty or luxury, that you would like to perform today? Keeping pace with a nun, let alone a demon, seems like it would be tiring and preparing for bed early might be for the best."

Koemi looked up "I assumed my lady that you would take a bath this evening before since it would be your last chance before we arrive at the Yukimura's. But if you wish to forgo it and perhaps do so when we arrive at our destination that would be acceptable as well my lady."

When Shinka smiled Koemi smiled back knowing that the incident with the drunken patron's was somewhat amusing, Koemi was fully aware that Shika was capable of protecting herself if need be. But as a Tsukino it was her duty to protect her none the less.

"I would like to leave for our destination as early as possible tomorrow, and I can't have my young protector becoming drowsy and neglectful during the last day of the journey."

Koemi let a throaty chuckle escape her mouth with another smile and gentle nod of her head.

"Yes, my lady and I think the inn keeper and his wife would appreciate our early departure as well."

Why are you daft, Sayuri? You knew this would this happen..! chided her inner thoughts, the only voice to ring out in this seemingly endless darkness. It was always like this, whenever she blacked out from the usage of her Oni blood.. no dreams, no entertainment to whittle away with the eternity-consuming minutes. Just negative space. It was a peculiar experience, she was awake.. yet in slumber at the same time. Seeing, yet blind. Hearing, yet deaf. As you can imagine, with each passing second, one's agitation and yearning would only grow.. and Rin was no different.

What seemed like eons, the Ronin finally was clawing on the path back to light, to life. Slowly fluttering her eyelids open, the filtered sunlight abruptly jolting her head, a small groan was given. I don't remember this room.. or even getting here.. pondered her thoughts, puzzlement and confusion coloring them. Even the futon felt different.. in fact, when was the last time she rested in such luxury? A small frown painted it's way onto her lips as she gazed intently on the ceiling, even something so simple taking on an alien meaning. With another soft outward breath, the doll-esque girl gingerly propped her upper body on her elbows, regret instantly following the shift. Sharp bursts of pain sent daggers into her skull, black fanning dots blurring her vision. Immediately, the half-oni collapsed, soft padding recusing her head from the harsh flooring.

It was in that moment that Rin realized someone else was in the room, a rather familiar aura. Shifting her eggplant orbs to the side, she took in the stranger's back, a black haori casually tossed on the ground next to him. In his hands was a polished blade, one that looked hauntingly similar to the earlier strangers' Wait......it couldn't be.. Desperately trying to find her voice, several seconds passed before a clearing of a throat directed his attention towards her. Keeping an impassive gleam in her eyes, Rin finally spoke in that monotonic voice. "I'm guessing you brought me here.. where are we exactly? And how long have I been out?"
