"Hey Aysu, I've been looking all over for you."
"What do you want, Innya? Is there another job?" Aysu asked from the branch of a tree where she'd been resting.
"No, but I'm bored. Lets go have some fun." Innya replied with a playful smile.
"Hm... Usually I'd object to something so reckless, but I think I'll go along this time." Aysu said as she leaped down from the tree.
"You're actually coming? I wonder what's gotten into you?" Innya said sarcastically.
"Shut up before I change my mind." Aysu responded, unamused.
The two girls walked silently through the forest. Aysu was an albino with long silver hair and blue eyes that almost shone. She wore all white clothing which was a short sleeved top, a corset-looking piece on her torso, and clothing that wraped around her legs like a skirt. Inna was pale with long brown hair that was tied up, and blue eyes that were almost identical to Aysu's. She wore all-black clothing which included a tanktop that ended just before her stomach, sleeves that rested on her arms by themselves, and baggy pants. Both walked barefooted, except that Innya had bandages wraped around her feet.
It wasn't long before Aysu and Innya reached a small village. The two girls casually walked in, but amongst the crowd of poor villagers, they stuck out like sore thumbs. Everyone turned to look at them with curious eyes.
"May we help you, young ladies?" One of the villagers asked.
"Of course you can help us...." Innya said with a smile. "You can give us the satisfaction of killing you!"
In that instant Innya pulled out a white gun, that was slighly below average size, and shot the villager. Simultaneously, Aysu swung her arm, releasing a black whip that skewered quite a few bystanders. At that moment, the villagers went into a panic. They screamed, and tried to run away, but they were followed by many bullets which each hit the vital point of a different target. Aysu ran straight into the thick of the crowd, and swug her whip in a circular motion, killing the majority of the people around her.
As Innya attacked the helpless villagers, she was smiling widely. Over the sound of gunshots and screams, you could hear her giggling. She enjoyed taking the lives of others, and had no problem showing it. Aysu, on the other hand, showed no emotion whatsoever. She simply killed anyone in sight with neither remorse, nor any trace of enjoyment.
As soon as eveyone was dead, the two set fire to the village and left.
"Ahhh, that was refreshing!" Innya said while stretching. "Thanks for coming along for once, Aysu. You looked like you enjoyed yourself."
"Is that so?" Aysu replied.
"You bet it is! I know how much you hate small villages like that one. It reminds you of where you came from. And I know how much you secretly enjoy destroying things you dislike."
Aysu put a dark smile on her face as she turned to face Innya. "You're right, I did enjoy myself. Though, let me remind you that it's not just small villages that I hate.... I hate EVERYONE."
"Even me?" Innya said with a smile.
But before Aysu could respond, the two were interrupted by a strange occurance. A long, verticle black line, which looked like the cut of a sword, appeared in front of them. It widened to be the size of an average person. Then a figure began to emerge. First an arm, which gripped a sword, then a leg, and finally the entire person. It was a young boy with light brown hair, and one eye colored amber, the other a sparkling blue. He wore a sleevless chinese-style outfit with a marking on the front of it which resembled a bat. Though for Aysu and Innya, the thing that stood out most was this boy's face. It was completely emotionless, like he wasn't even human.
"Who are you?" Innya demanded, while putting her hand to her gun.
"I must find the feathers." They boy replied in a completely empty voice. "Where are they?"
"Feathers? What would you want those for?" Innya said curiously.
Aysu growled. "Who cares? If he can't explain himself, he dies."
Suddenly the boy's blue eye began to glow, and he looked around him. "I see. So there is a feather here. Then I must go and retrieve it." With that, the boy began to walk away.
"Not so fast!" Innya yelled as she drew her gun and shot. The boy, however, dodged easily then turned around and swung his sword in the direction of the two girls. Flames emerged from the blade of his sword and shot towards Aysu and Innya, who jumped out of the way and then turned towards the boy with wide eyes.
"What.... The hell was that....?" Innya said with concern. They had never seen any attacks like this.
"I don't know, but let's end this fast!" Aysu said as she pulled out her whip. She swung it at the boy over and over, but he dodged every stroke. Then a bullet hit the boy in the leg. However, he didn't fall or stagger.... Heck, he didn't even flinch.
"Don't you feel pain?!" Innya screamed as she shot her gun once again. But this time the boy held his hand in front of him with his index and middle finger sticking up. Suddenly strange, glowing symbols appeared around the boy in a circular motion. The bullet hit the symbols, and bounced off, hitting Aysu in the shoulder.
"What the - " Aysu exclaimed as she grabbed her shoulder.
Innya turned to see what damage had been done to her companion, but at that moment a large amount of flames were shot at her, which consumed her, and sent the young girl flying. Aysu gritted her teeth, and got ready to attack, but then more strange symbols surrounded the boy, and he disappeared.
"Damned brat!" Aysu exclaimed in frustration.
"Hey...." Innya said as she stood up, covered in burns. Her eyes had become dark and angry. "That boy.... Won't get away with this."
**********
"So.... How long are we gonna keep walking through this forest?" A tall, well built man with black hair, red eyes, all black armour and cloak asked with frustration.
"Now, now, Kuro-chan,be patient. It's not like we know where we are." A tall, extremely thin man with blond hair, a long white coat, and an eye patch replied.
"For the last time, stop it with those annoying nicknames!" Kurogane yelled his friend.
"Hey, Fai and Kurogane are friends! They shouldn't fight!"
"Ahhh, you're absolutely right, Mokona. So-rry." Fai said while giving Mokona a hug.
"I hope we find a village soon. It'll be dangerous for us to sleep in these unknown woods." A young boy with short brown hair and amber eyes said.
"Don't worry, Syaoran. As long as we have a bodyguard like Kuro-tan, we'll be fine!" Fai said playfully.
"Who's the bodyguard?!" Kurogane yelled as he pointed his now-drawn sword at the magician.
"Ahaha! It's just a joke, Kuro-pi."
"I said stop it with the names!" Kurogane screamed, beginning to loose his head.
"Are you tired, Princess Sakura?" Syaoran asked the young girl walking beside him.
"No, I'm fine." Sakura replied with an adorable smile. Syaoran smiled back.
But then suddenly two figures jumped down from the trees above them. When they landed, the group of friends could tell that they were two girls. One had silver hair and wore all white, and the other had brown hair and wore all black. Kurogane drew his sword, but the the silver-haired girl released a whip, which wraped around the blade of his sword. The wielder then pulled the blade from the samurai's hands. The brown-haired girl then revealed a gun, and pointed it at Syaoran's throat. The silver-haired girl picked up Kurogane's sword and pointed it at the boy as well.
"Finally, we've found you." The two women said with anger flaring in their eyes.
