Obsession
By: Angel Kamiya
That night Yura smiled as she stood there on the branch of the tree watching the group of humans on the road. They looked to be travelers from somewhere distant. There were many guards and a lone woman in the center. What interested Yura the most wasn't who they were but the lovely long black hair on top of the woman's head. Yura was obsessed with beautiful hair. Yura had to have it. Raising her hand and fingers she tugged on the invisible strands of hair and pulled.
One of the guards suddenly felt something on his neck. The invisible hair cut his head from his body. Barely getting out a loud scream he fell to the ground dead. The ground he had been standing on moments earlier was now covered in blood.
The princess screamed in terror. The guards around her snapped to attention. They all had spears or swords.
Yura yawned. This wasn't going to be challenging at all. Holding out her two hands she yanked the invisible hairs upward. There were more screams. Several of the guards didn't know what hit them. They were cut apart by something they weren't able to see. After a few seconds it was all over. All the men that had standing and the men that had been on horses had been killed. Yura leapt down from the tree and started walking to where the lone woman was now waiting.
The princess didn't know what had happened. One moment her guards had all been standing there around her and now they were all on the ground. When she looked up again she saw a young girl walking towards her. The girl with short black hair and red eyes wore a revealing black ninja tunic. What was strange was that the girl had a bored expression on her face even after doing something so horrible.
"Who are you! What do you want?"
"I'm called Yura. I am here for your lovely hair." Yura smiled. "Don't worry. This will be all over very quickly."
Yura pulled out the katana that she kept by her hip. With her left hand she moved a few fingers and the princess was quickly tied up by invisible threads. It was better when they weren't able to move. Yura swung the blade forward. Warm blood splashed onto her face.
A few hours later Yura looked at the strands of beautiful hair that she had acquired. It was something that she glad she had. However it wasn't enough. There had to be more. Yura wasn't going to stop until she had all the beautiful hair in the land. As she sat there in the tree something caught her attention. It was the two small demons that was passing by. They were talking about something.
"Did you hear? That village the priestess Kikyo once lived in supposedly has the Shikon Jewel. It's returned to this world."
When they were gone Yura thought about what she had heard. The Shikon Jewel. Among the demon population the Shikon Jewel was the ultimate treasure. It was suppose to be able to greatly increase the powers of any demon that carried it. Yura jumped down from the tree and stared at the direction the two small demons was heading. Yura wondered how long it would take for her to get there. Hopefully she would get there first.
Yura hoped that there was someone with beautiful hair that guarded the Shikon Jewel.
