Rain poured down and pattered off the roof. A roof of a broken house. Lightning cracking off directly above them as three men dressed in silver armor took another step backwards.

The village was burning and torn down. Fire licked off towards the sky, sizzling the wood it burned. Bloody corps lay strung about the twisted pile of wood and metal from soldiers swords.

A hell of a battle happened here. A hell of a battle with hell of beasts.

The three guards slank back another step. Keeping there swords and spears raised at all times, they prepared for what was coming out of the shadows before them. There armor rattled as they shook in mortal terror. Before them in the shadows, three blood red eyes emanating with evil started back.

An un Earthly scream could be heard echoing through the night sky as all three of the guards were ripped down. There blood soon trickled out and down onto the ground. Draining down the dirt road in the pouring rain.

Last Guard of the Spirits

Chapter 1: Arrive Kaira and meet Kiro

A beautiful slim girl stepped off a bus onto a busy sidewalk. Kaira Burue has a sexy figure that caught the eye of every passing by man. She stood 5' 10" tall and dressed in a white shirt that was laced in blue and purple. Her pants were made of the same soft silky material as her shirt but was dyed a light purple. Her long blond hair flowed down to her mid back and she made sure to whip it out of her face. Her sandy brown eyes surveying the new street.

"Looks like I'm here. Yea." Her tone was less than amused. She didn't really want to be here.

Kaira's mother and father had fought for most of there marriage. Many violent fights broke out until finally the divorce papers went through. Kaira's mother took her and forced her to live with her. Her father, David Burue, had taken Kaira's brother Deruku Burue to live with him on the other side of the city.

Just the other day, Kaira's mother, Shinde, passed away. Kaira had stayed at home until after the funeral. At that time, Kaira was forced by the courts to go to her father. She hated to leave her friends, her school, her old life. Things were perfect until she had to die.

Kaira sighed as she press in the button on the door bell. A ringing noise could be heard from inside the house and not but a few seconds later the door swung open.

"Kaira!" Deruku yelled as he jumped out into Kaira. Deruku was at five years younger than Kaira and didn't have long in this world before David and Shinde broke up. He all ways loved his 17 year old sister even if she had to live on the other side of the city. He went to visit her every opportunity he could. Now though, he would see her everyday. He had darker sandy blond hair and brown eyes that were wide with excitement.

"Hey!" Kaira said trying to hold her balance with her suitcases full of her stuff. "Watch it." Kaira wasn't as pleased with Deruku as he was with her. She wished he weren't so annoyingly...loving.

"Kaira? Is that you?" David said coming into view inside the house. "You have grown a lot since the last time I saw you."

"You saw me just last week!" Kaira stated as she managed to get the excited youngster off of her. "At mom's funeral."

"Yes, well." David rubbed the back of his head. His light blond hair ruffled in the movement. He cracked a playful smile. "Yes well you have grown a lot since I used to play with you in the park."

"I was like four dad." Kaira protested and looked at him. "Will one of you two help me with these?" She was referring to her baggage.

An hour later Kaira was set up in her very own room. It used to be a storage room the two 'men' used to store the meaningless junk in there house. Now they had to rent out a storage unit to keep there stuff in.

"Everything is perfect in my world."

Within a week, Kaira was registered to start at the high school on this end of town. And oh was she thrilled. She jumped for joy, almost off a bridge into shallow water of a river on her drive to the new school. She figured if she went head first she could be joyous for all eternity. She decided against that kind of 'joy' and continued to the school.

Once at school, she parked her car and got out. The first thing she noticed was that the student parking lot was located next to a large green field. Along the field were white chalk lines that formed into dueling rings.

"Wow, my old school never had any Duel Monster rings! Maybe I will get in a duel or two a day. I haven't played in so long." She though before she realized she didn't bring her deck. Anime style tears flowed down her face for a second before she just turned to walk into the building. "I'll duel tomorrow. If they will allow a new person to use there fields."

As she was walking up to the double glass doors she noticed another student get there before her. She was a little shorter than Kaira and had light brown hair. She wore the standard shirt and pants that were cream and light blue respectively. Here long hair was pulled back into a ponytail but still hung down to about her shoulders.

"Hello there." The girl said politely opening the door for Kaira. "You must be the new student that everyone is talking about."

"Yea, I guess so." Kaira said as she walked through the first set of double doors. "I am Kaira Burue."

"Nice to meat you Kaira. I am Ami Bitsuchi, Ami is fine. So what brings you to our part of town?" Ami asked.

"Oh." Kaira tried not to start thinking of it too much. If she did then she would start crying and she didn't need to do that on her first day at a new school. "My father is taking care of me now."

"I see." Ami said before quickly grabbing Kaira's shirt and pulling her to the side. They were still in the interior of the two sets of double doors so Kaira was slammed against a wall.

"Ouch!" Kaira closed her eyes with the pain. Slowly she opened them to see Ami holding open the glass door as a young man passed through.

This kid was about 6' even. He had dark green hair and brown eyes, but such a shade of brown that Kaira almost mistook them for red at the first sight. He was wearing a black over jacket and a dark gray shirt with symbols and markings all over it. Lose baggy black pants and a pair of old faded and worn tennis shoes. On his right hand he wore a leather biker glove that fit through his hand. On the glove there were three shining orbs. One was a black color. One was a soft sky blue and the third one was a dark gray color.

"What the..." Kaira was elbowed in the ribs by Ami until the man was inside.

"That would be Kiro. You don't want to be on his bad side at all. That is why I had to do that. Sorry please forgive me." Ami did a small bow to Kaira who was still lost.

"Kiro?" She asked puzzled as her and Ami continued into the school building.

"Kiro is a student here. He is a real unknown. No one knows very much about him. He is claimed by some as crazy. Others think he is homeless seeing as he has no family that comes out into the public circle."

"And the reason for ramming your elbow into my lungs would be?" Kaira rubbed her side again.

"Kiro is very mean and violent. That is what is known as fact about him. Some people have tried to follow him home. Every time they are found by cops or neighborhood families. They are bloody and twisted. Beat to a pulp and usually hospitalized for weeks."

"And he just walks among us at school?" Kaira was eve more confused. "That hardly seems safe."

"Well, all the kids claim to god that Kiro is the one that beat them up but they can't get proof. There is no DNA evidence left on any of the kids. They would have had him already if it wasn't the lack of DNA. There are no finger prints or foot prints at the scene either. Just no evidence. And all the kids suffered blows to the head so they are not credible eye witnesses." Ami looked up and then over at Kaira. "Well here is the office. Good luck on your first day of school. Do try to avoid Kiro though." Ami said and started to walk away.

"Thank you Ami." Kaira smiled and turned to the woman in the office.

Kiro sat in the back of the class room as usual. Feet kicked up on the desk and relaxing the day away. His eyes were shut as he listened, or pretended to, tothe teachers lecture.

"I have heard enough out of you today Hebanu!" Kiro screamed angerly into his mind.

("Well excuse me again. Every day we go through this. You get made at me over and over again. Why do you hate me?") A soft sweet yet very annoyed voice rang through Kiro's head.

"Damn it. Heruru can you shut your brother up?" Kiro complained to a second entity.

("With pleasure. Get back her bitch.") A gruff male voice answered back to this one. The sound as if someone was chasing someone across a tile floor echoed throughout Kiro's head.

("Kiro, honestly. I haven't gotten a moment of piece since the day us three started sharing your body and mind.") A third, calmer deep voice came back.

"So what Kooru? I was forced to take you three on thanks to my stupid birth right." Kiro complained back to the voice in his head.

("Gotcha bitch!") The voice that belonged to Heruru rang out through Kiro's head and a loud thumping sound could be heard.

("Ouch!") Hebanu screamed out in pain.

Kiro smirked at this and watched the mental image of it over and over in his mind.

This smirk drew the attention of Kaira who was seated in the back row. She was only four desks down from Kiro and she noticed that he was actually smiling. From what Ami had told her, she figured that he would be one who would never smile. Even though this smile seemed cruel, evil and dark. It still was a smile.

Kaira's interest was peeked out now. She had to find out more about this boy, Kiro.

As the lunch bell rang and students started filling the cafeteria there was one table were Kiro sat alone. He wasn't eating anything but he was still smiling.

"Again?"

("Sure.") Heruru answered back and another loud thumping sound was made.

("Ouch! Damn you two! Ouch!") Hebanu yelled out as another thumping sound echoed through Kiro's head.

Ami and Kaira had met up at lunch and sat at a table off to the side to watch Kiro. Kaira wasn't interested in eating as much as she was with this strange boy.

"I am going to do it." Kaira said proudly but silently so he couldn't hear her. "I am going to follow him home and get the truth."

"Your going to what?" Ami gasped and covered her mouth. "Are you crazy girl? That will get you killed!"

"I don't think he would hurt a girl...would he?" Kaira asked with a sudden drawback.

"I wouldn't put it passed him." Ami sighed and got up. "Well at least you didn't have too much of a chance to make a life here. It was good knowing you Kaira." Ami walked away and dumped her tray.

The rest of the school day went by meaningless for Kaira. She met all of her new teachers and a few fellow class mates but none of them interested her like Kiro did. There was just something about him that drew her to him. Something different that others. Like he had a different spirit or something.

Waiting in the bushes outside of the school building, Kaira crouched down and prepared to move at the first sight of Kiro. She didn't have long to wait as he came walking out the front door a few minuets after she crouched down. He looked around and then he started walking. The way he was walking was like he had just chosen a random direction and started heading that way. Not like a set route, just a random way to go.

"Could he really be homeless?" Kaira asked herself as she prepared to move. She let him get enough distance so that she wouldn't be heard following behind him.

They walked for hours in aimless directions. The sun was already set and it was growing late at night. Kaira stopped dead in the middle of an empty street and dropped her arms to her side.

"I got myself lost." She said disappointed. "I should have never gone on this wild goose chase. Well one good thing has come of this. Ami was wrong." Kaira had to smile a bit at this. "I wasn't beaten to a bloody pulp for following him."

A cold wind blew down the empty street kicking up leaves and dirt. A shiver shot down Kaira's spine as a street light started to flicker. This area of the city had little to no public lighting. A dog barked off in the distance.

"I had better get out of here. I should just go home. I am sure my dad and my brother are worried sick about me." Kaira said and slowly turned around. As soon as she did she went colliding into the chest of a man.

She fell backwards onto her butt from the impact. Looking up she saw a man that had to have been seven feet tall with spiky silver hair and cold purple eyes. He wore a white tank top that was skin tight and a pair of cargo pants. He smiled at her with lust in his eyes.

"Where do you think you want to go, pretty thang?"
