Chapter 1
"Hahahahaha!" The young boy with emerald eyes laughed in solders faces.
"Esmin!" A prince came up on his brown horse and made the boy turned his head to him. He had a grin that showed his fang that could creep a grown man out.
He was about sixteen and had purple and blue spiky hair and wore a shirt that had two belts that formed an X near his chest and no sleeves. His pants were green and black that had belts all the way down. He laughed even more holding half his face with one hand and raised the other to a pile of solders and crushed them as he clenched his fist.
"Stop this right now!" The prince who had green hair that had it in a braided ponytail. He had ice blue eyes and pale-ish skin. He wore prince like clothes. "If you don't stop I'll be forced to kill you."
"Ha-ha kill me? You? I don't think so!" He grinned again flicked his hair hitting his pointy-ish ears. Esmin raised in the air as he grabbed hold of a sword and was going to do a flying dash when the prince whistled. Esmin was stuck in one spot. He didn't know what was going on. He looked around at the mid-aged world he lived in then glared at the prince.
"Sorry Esmin, this is the only way." He said with a little frown as he nodded to the mages who made the paralyzing circle under him.
"Jonathan! What is this!?" He growled then looked at himself fading. "I'll kill you! You Bastaaaard!" He tried to force his way to him but disappeared. The mages let out a big sigh and everyone cheered.
"Finally! Years of being torched and we're free!" They all cheered but the prince. A woman on a grey horse and Blond long hair and blue eyes set her hand on his shoulder.
"Rest easy brother. He is not dead but in another place. It's the best I could think of. Let's just hope Serik can help him so he can return." Jonathan put his head down and slowly rode away from his older sister.
"I couldn't keep my promise..."

An old man with a blue kimono sat by his table and drank his tea with his eyes shut like always and watched a very younger male sweep. The teen was nineteen about and had long black hair he kept it a ponytail and wore a grey Kimono set. He always wore it when he cleaned. He stopped and looked outside in the sky as the wind blew harder.
"Grandfather are we expecting company?" His Grandfather nodded and the Teen bowed and walked outside as a circle formed and out came a pissed and confused boy. He was still growling but calmed down due to the unfamiliar scents and turned around spotting the teen boy. "Welcome." He bowed but all Esmin did was put up his hand.
"Who are you and where am I. If you do not answer I will kill you before you can take another breath!" He just stood there as a gust of wind past him going to Esmin. His grandfather placed his fingers on his unexpected forehead and chattered something. Esmin's body tingled and he lit out a cry as the old man backed of and a symbol appeared on his forehead and he then went to his knees and the teen boy caught him before he fell face first to the ground.
"He will be in the extra room for a bit okay Kiro?" The teen boy nodded and took Esmin to the spare room to rest and returned to his his grandfather who was talking to an older woman.
"Oh Thank-you Serik." The woman bowed and left with a bottle he gave her and he returned to his tea as his grandson sat in front of himself and sighed.
"You know Grandfather I really wish you would inform me before hand. What's this boys story?"
"All you need to know about him is he needs to learn how to have fun. So, instead of the usual, can you look after him? Teach him about the wonders?" Kiro blinked at his grandfather.
"Grandpa you're not making sense. I will watch him but, I have a life you know I can't be babysitting 24/7."
"That's fine with me. Now sleep, you have a busy day tomorrow." Kiro sighed but took word. He bowed and walked up the stairs. 'Too bad I am not the one to help this boy, only you can Kiroshima'
--
Esmin shot up and looked around and noticed he was in a bed and room. He pounced to all fours and sniffed around but only smelt food that was cooking in the kitchen. He cautiously went to the door and down the stairs. He peeked into the kitchen and spotted Kiro and grinned. He raised his hand to him and clenched it but noticed it did nothing. He blinked t his hand and tried again when he was spotted.
"Oh good your up. Sorry about last night, my grandfather can be very unpredictable." Kiro said with a smile and Esmin came out from behind the wall glaring.
"What happened!? What did the old man do!? I can't crush you!" Esmin demanded and Kiro just blinked and smiled again as he thought.
'Oh, what a case I got. This kid is psycho.' He then set down a plate and some food and offered a seat.
"Answer me!"
"You need to learn manners. I'm Kiroshima, but Kiro will do, so what's your name?" Esmin got pissed and growled.
"Damn it don't think just because I can't crush you from afar doesn't mean I can't kill you!" Kiro sighed and decided to ignore him and began to eat. Esmin was about to say something more when he spotted his image. He glared at it. He was human and did not like it. He "tch'd" and walked out the door.
He sat on the roof looking around the unfamiliar plains. He looked at the tree's and the people down the long stairs leading to and from the house to the main road. He would randomly try to crush the by passer's but all attempts failed. Kiro finally came climbing up a ladder with food.
"Eat before you collapse of hunger. I have training so I'll be in back with kids, you can watch if you want or sulk up here all day, what ever you want to do. Kitchen is there for your needs." He slightly bowed and went down the ladder as kids started running up the stairs. Esmin stared at the food, glared, poked it and took a bite. He looked around to make sure no one was looking and began to eat it as he heard a small 'Yah!'. He crawled to the other side of the roof and hid himself as he watched and ate. He was amused by the little ones attempting Kendo.
"Kiki, you have a nice swing but if you hold it like that you'll loose grip fast." Kiro demonstrated the proper way in his red Kimono. The only girl nodded and held it the right way and swung at her partner who just evaded it. Kiro let them have a little spar moment, showed them a new move, and it went on for that for three hours.
"Bye Sensei!" All five kids yelled and waved as they went down the stairs and into the car for the car pool home. Kiro waved till the car was outta sight and sighed. He turned around just to almost bump into Esmin who handed the plate to him and went to go back on the roof but Kiro stopped him.
"It's a seal- the thing that makes you human and took away your powers." Esmin whipped around and glared at him.
"Than take it off! Humans are useless I wouldn't dare to take their form."
"I wish I could," 'not really' "but only my grandfather knows and well, he took off last night." Esmin whipped his head back around and clenched his fists.
"So what is your true form? Is it a cat kinda form because you sure kinda act like one."
"I am a Scelitic race, I do not know of this cat race but I think I'm going to take it as an insult." He said and hopped back up to the roof making Kiro sigh and walk inside.
He sat in silence reading when the door was disturbed by a knock so he answered it. A fair woman stood in front of it nervous. Kiro noticed her, she came once before. She just lost her husband and came over to find peace. He opened it and she bowed.
"Sorry to bother you but I'm think he's still here. You know in spirit, I want him to go to the after life. Is Serik here?"
"Just me and an unexpected guest, but please come with me and I'll see what I can do." She walked inside and Esmin watched the whole thing on the roof and curiosity hit him. He scaled the roof to the window for the room they sat in. Candles were lit and it was as dark as they could get it. The window was shut so all he heard was mumbles.
Time went by and the window flew open as light from the middle candle grey as the flame did. Esmin peered in cautiously and watched the abnormal winds flow around the candle's fire and a faded spirit formed touching the woman's face and flowed out the window with some flower peddles that sat around the candle. Everything died down and Kiro sighed and rested as the woman cried.
He showed her out the door and went to get back to his book when he spotted the glaring guest.
"You lied! You know magic! Like the mages who brought me here!" Esmin dashed at Kiro and went to land a punch in Kiro's face but a blue glow in front of his fist pushed him back making him more mad. He dashed again but tried a kick but the same thing happened. "What is this!?"
"I have no idea my Grandfather must've put a protective spell on me. Now calm down and let me explain. I only know how to put spirits to rest and make potions and a couple of other useless things. My Grandfather only knows how to take the seal off." Esmin glared and turned and walked away when the phone rang. Esmin hissed at it and threw it at the wall when he heard it ring somewhere else.
"Now what are you doing?!"
"You have no idea what a phone is do you? You must live in a none technology world." Not really understanding what he meant he glared at Kiro and walked to the room he woke up in.
