Yea, so I'm going to try and see if my computer will allow me to do this, It keeps messing up the italics for some reason when I upload it…
I hope I can keep this in sync with what all happened in the manga/anime, it's like piecing a puzzle together, the Seven Swordsmen are too complicated…
Here's to my first normal story, wish me luck?

Hidden In The Mist
Ch. 1
The night was quiet, a strong smell of blood drifted throughout the wind. As usual a thick mist covered the area. A village that strived for blood shed, a village whose cruel way gave it a title to be feared. The Village Of The Bloody Mist. This title was quite accurate, this village housed ruthless killers, mercy was just a foreign word to them.
A man walked through the chilly night air. He was awake, and alert. He was abnormally tall, with a strange blue tinge to his skin, and an even darker blue for his hair. His beady black eyes scanned the area as he walked. The wind blew softly, as it did the bushes rustled. His eyes stopped on a specific spot.
He swiftly reached for the hilt of his sword and swung. Said spot of the bush rustled as the upper half of it was cut away. Small, sparkling blue eyes looked up and watched the man.
"Well now. Not quite what I expected?" The man watched, amused with his own behavior. "Child. What are you doing out here? Not exactly a place for kids." The man strayed from the blue eyes and noticed the figure to be that of a small girl, she had light blue hair, and even darker blue eyes. Her small form flinched as he spoke.
"I have…no where else to be." She muttered softly, "Please kill me…."
The man watched in confusion. In all his time living, working, "killing" in this village, he had never received such a request. "That's not a thing you should ask of a man you just met, now is it?" he held out his hand to the girl rather awkwardly. Why am I doing this? She's just some child? Normally I would have cut her up by now. His own reactions were confusing him. He looked back into her hollow eyes. Cold, dark, scared blue eyes. Out of all the orphans he's come across…why now did he decide to help one?
She looked at the hand. Her eyes showing confusion. She stood up on her own and took a few steps back. She stared into his eyes, as if they would tell her something she needed to know. Maybe they could?
"It's alright," He started. He thought for a second. "I don't feel like killing you… I've had enough bloodshed for tonight." He kneeled down and patted the girl on the head.
She took a few steps closer. "Do you have a name" The man was now confused by his own curiosity. She shook her head.
"Aqua." He stated. "The color matches your eyes." His mouth was now moving, talking of it's own accord. He just gave some stranger a name?
"Why…?" She questioned. He didn't have an answer. He was just as confused as her.
