"And for my first act..." The girl's brown hair fluttered in the wind as she lifted her hand above her head. A ball of red light formed and a sudden cold chill shot through her. What... why am I doing this? What has lead me to this point...
A New Spring
"Uri! Uri Nuasuki!" I turned and faced my friends. "Hey! What're you doing all the way up here?"
"Thinking."
"Don't strain yourself," giggled Niki. "We need that smart brain of yours if we're gonna do what I think we're gonna do."
"Go..." I said. "On and find out who killed my brother."
"Right. Exactly. He's somewhere in this time."
"She. It was a woman's fault."
"Are you sure?"
"Don't you think I'd know who killed him?" I turned on them. "He was my twin. I know who it was!"
"Alright. Alright. Don't bite my head off." All five of us started down the side of the mountain. "Let's go find this murderer."
~* * * * * * * * * * *~
There they were... all so strong, so powerful, so... young.
"That's them?" whispered Ashitaki. I nodded.
"Yes." I shifted the cloak on my shoulders and moved around, in the shadows. Images of my brother flashed in front of my eyes. God... why did the Dynasty have to take him away from me? Why? Why didn't the Ronins keep him from dying... why why why. That wasn't getting us ANYWHERE.
I had to avenge his death on my own.
We struck before they knew we were there. Well, most of them. The black haired boy, Ryo of the Wildfire, turned just as I lunged and managed to stop my attack.
"What the..."
"For my brother!" I shouted, kicking hard in his stomach. He staggered backward, into his friend who had fallen by Ashitakei.
"Who... are you?" he asked. I looked down at him and saw something flash in his blue eyes. It wasn't confusion, but at the sometime, it wasn't knowing, either.
"I am Uri," I said. "Know my name. I have come for vengence for the death of my brother, Anubis. You know who killed him. Tell me, boy."
"Brother?" groaned the one Ashitakei had taken down. "Anubis had a sister?"
"She looks like him, that's for sure." I turned quickly and ducken underneath a blow from a third boy I hadn't seen. No. There were three more. The entire group had assembled!
"Damn!" I yelled. "Ashitakei!"
"Uri!" Two of them had her pinned and no matter how she fought, she couldn't get away. "Get out of here!"
"Who are you?" repeated Ryo, getting up and helping his fallen comrade. I glared at him.
"Uri."
"Get out of here, fool!" shouted Ashitakei. "Don't you see! Remember what you came here to do!"
"I'm not leaving you!" I said back.
"Damn you! I can take care of myself!"
"Ashitakei!"
"Niki, Hila!" I heard the bushes rustle and felt my friend's grip my arms.
"Move it!" hissed Niki. I didn't know what else to do.
I went.
Chapter 2(Ashitakei)
I glared at my captors as Niki and Hila took the fool Uri away.
"You won't get anything from me," I said coldly. Ryo sighed.
"Kento, Rowen, let her go," he said. They did, but I made no attempt to leave. I knew it I did, we'd end up in the
same problem. "What do you know about that?"
"I'm only here to make sure Uri completes her mission," I said. "Nothing more, nothing less."
"You seem to take this pretty seriously," said the red haired one, Cye of the Torrent. "Is she really Anubis' sister?"
"I already said she looks just like him. They gotta be twins," said Kento. He looked at me. "Right?" I said nothing, only watched them coolly. "You're gonna be a problem, aren't you?"
"If I can be," I said coldly.
"There's no need to be rude," said Ryo. "You and your friend attacked us not visa versa."
"You have some information for us and we'll do whatever it takes to get it."
"We don't have any information," said Sage. "We don't even know who you are or where you come from. Just that your pal Uri is Anubis' sister."
"You know you killed him-"
"No one killed him!" said Ryo, finally losing his temper (yes, I had been testing his limits). "He sacrificed himself to save Kayura!"
"Kayura? Good. That's all I needed." I closed my eyes and focused my attention somewhere else. A cliff, above a river and a forest. When I opened my eyes, I was there. And I could still see the Ronins below me, looking around in confusion. You want Kayura, Uri. She's the one that killed Anubis.
Kayura... wait. Kayura? Little Kayura, from the Ancient One's village?
I'm assuming so.
Good. I know where to find her. I nodded and brushed a strand of blonde hair from my face. Now. To take care
of the Ronins before they warned Kayura.
Chapter 3(Ryo)
"Great," I mused. "And now she's gonna tell Uri!"
"We don't even know that's where she went," said Rowen. "We don't even know if any of this real. They could
just be some Dynasty trick."
"They're not," said Cye, shaking his head. "The girl, Ashitakei, she was definitely not a Dynasty lackie."
"How..."
"Don't ask. I just know, alright?"
"We have to find Kayura and warn her," said Sage. "Before they get her."
"I won't give you that chance, Ronins!!" We turned and looked above his. There was Ashitakei, balanced on the edge of a cliff, her long hair blowing around her face. She brushed it back and grinned darkly. "We've worked too
hard and come too far for you to screw this up!" She raised her hands above her head and a blue ball of energy
glistened in the sunlight. It seemed to made entirely of water. "Let me show you something Suiko taught me!"
"Suiko?" I said in disbelieve. "But he-"
"Watch out!" She hurled the energy at us. It mirrored every aspect of Cye's Super Wave Smasher except for the fact it wasn't coming from his Yari, it was coming from the hands of a seemingly powerless girl. I raised my arms
to block and felt the full force slam into me...
To Be Continued...
A/N: Okay, so this was the world's biggest last minute fic. I started it one day, finished it the next and have
decided I don't like .txt format, but since I'm at my grandparents house, I don't have a choice. ~sigh~
LOOK! .html! ~dance~ I got sick of the .txt crap. It's EVIL.
