Her Bleeding Eyes

Twenty Years Ago:

The thief ran quickly through the forest, the Spirit Guards were close behind her and gaining. She used a lot of energy to get the artifact that she gripped tightly in her hand, and was sporting several injuries due to it. The item in question was an onyx tiara studded with small diamonds, which was held under maximum security.

With a blur, the woman stood high up in a nearby tree, watching the guards run by. She sighed and tightened her grip on the artifact. Cringing inwardly, she tenderly checked her bloody arm; the bone was broken.

Most of the guards, by now, have retreated back to the Palace, but, unbeknownst to the thief, some stayed behind in hopes she would come out of her hiding place. She slowly descended from the tree; keeping her broken in mind. Again, she ran expertly through the familiar forest, however this time with guards stalking behind her. After reaching a small clearing, she stopped.

The woman's claws grew longer as she chanted an incantation. Gun fire silenced her speaking. Searing, white pain shot through her chest as warm liquid streamed down her front. Hands trying to stop the stream, she fell to her knees, coughing up more blood. The woman had been shot in the chest. Her bloody body laid on the ground as guards checked to make sure she was dead. They left her there to report her death to the Ruler and celebrate.

However, Shadow's Blood, as she calls herself, was not dead. Her spirit escaped to the Human World after the body died. The spirit inhabited the body of an unborn baby without a proper soul, altering the genetics to match her own. Seven months later she was reborn, two weeks premature. She used a small amount of her psychic ability to get her new name close to her true name. Her new name was Kumiko Takemenay.

15 Years Later:

A year later the same couple had a baby boy named Riku.

The couple was ignorant and abusive. They beat and neglected their children. Despite this, a demon and a human grew close and Shadow's Blood would survive

Kumiko hung upside down on the sofa, staring at the blank TV screen Riku walked into the room, looking questioning at his sister.

"Hey, Riri," Kumi said, acknowledging his presence.

"Hey, Kume, what are you doing?"

Screaming and cussing echoed from down the hall, changing the course of their conversation. "Hey, are they fighting again?" Kumi asked, sliding to the floor. "Yeah, it looks really bad this time, I saw a gun," he sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Nah, don't worry, it's probably the same thing as always. Daddy got drunk and came home with a new shade of lipstick on his collar, the gun's just for emphasis or—"she trailed off before making one of her 'famous' comments.

Kumiko!!

Both teens look at each other; this wasn't part of their parents' usual argument. Riku helped pull his sister to her feet as the heavy footfalls of their father neared the living room. Brother and sister walked towards the door. "Get back here," the man said through gritted teeth; a vein visibly bulged in his forehead. Kumi turned around, angered at being told what to do, by a human no less.

However, as soon as the woman turned around, everything started to happen. A gun cocked, a trigger pulled, and a bullet tore out of a bullet. Kumi was too shocked to think, not that she could have done much. Her powers weren't fully recovered and then the matter of revealing who she was.

She felt the bullet tear into her skin, centimeters from her human body's heart. Blood streaming from her front and mouth, she fell, face first to the floor. Both men expected her to be dead, so that's how she had to act. In truth, with just with a little bit of attention, she'd be fine…..and then kill the man that had shot her in the most gruesome of ways.

Riku collapsed around her, crying and screaming, he pulled his sister onto her back. 'Daddy dearest' walked out of the room, mumbling something. Riku's screams continued throughout the night before he fell asleep on the bloody body.

Riku's father got sent to jail for life on murder charges, but not before his wife divorced him (though the woman didn't seem to upset over her 'daughters' death). The funeral was scheduled for the Friday of that week, though the body 'mysteriously disappeared' before then. In reality, Kumi waited until the right moment to escape and seized it when it came along.

After that fiasco, she escaped back to the Demon World to take out her anger. After her initial killing spree, that marked her return, she went on smaller rampages until her energy grew more.

Man, I hate being shot
