The Scarlet Demon
Flashback
"Scarlet before you were born a demon was using us as new toys because it was bored. Apparently we amused it. That demon is a relative of Kyubi."
"You mean the Nine Tailed Fox Demon!"
"Yes, only this demon is a cat. Kamineow the Cat Demon."
"Wait isn't Kamimeow…"
"Yes…You carry Kamineow around. You were the only newborn that could. That's why people treat you differently."
I was silent staring at the pond that was before me. I though back to all the strange behavior I had sometimes…now I knew why…I was about to cry
"Scarlet? Are you all right?"
I drew in a deep breath and kept my tears from falling. I faced my guardian (if you can even call her that! The only reason she talked to me was because she was forced to! I eavesdropped on the conversation and they actually threatened to kill her.)
"As long as I was around to help my Clan then I'm fine with carrying Kamimeow around. It was my destiny to help my Clan from being destroyed and now I have a new dream to follow."
With that said I turned around and crept away. But just before I was out of sight and about to disappear into the shadows I was stopped.
"Wait! Where are you going?!"
"I'm going to start training myself to be the greatest ninja ever! Now I know I have someone to trust." I started to disappear.
"Who do you trust?!"
"Myself!"
"Why only yourself?!"
"Why only yourself she asks. WHY ONLY MYSELF! Because you and everyone else who talks to me has to be threatened or blackmailed to talk or hang out with me that's why!" I screamed.
Why am I wasting my breath screaming at such a useless human being! That's one of the first things to train myself to so. Detach my feelings they'll only get in the way.
"How so you know about that!?"
I turned back to my "guardian" and looked her right in the eyes with a cold stare.
"Because! I have ears like a cat." I said coldly.
With that I crept off into the darkness.
end of flashback
I crept out onto the ledge hidden in the shadows of darkness.
"You have no choice but to kill the girl!" A man yelled.
The only way to identify him is by his black hair because you couldn't see the rest of him and I had never heard his voice before but the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
"And if I don't want to!" Another man's voice yelled defiantly
"Cousin?!?!"
"You have no choice! Just stop stalling and accept!"
"I would much rather die first! I can't kill her!"
"You will or you die!" The man with black hair slammed his fists on the table on his right.
"Then I choose death!" The man was then tied to a chair by two huge body guards.
"Fine then, I can always get others to do the dirty work for me but I thought it would work best if it was you. Oh well." He signaled to his body guards.
They raised their weapons and were about to cut the man's throat but the sound of shattering glass stopped them along with the sound of hissing. The body guards looked around in confusion as a kuni was flung at the lights and their weapons knocked out of their hands. There was the sound of rope slashed and a scramble of feet.
"Hurry you idiots their getting away!" The man with black hair screamed.
"But we can't see and apparently that thing can!"
Suddenly a light was lit and a girl age 15 was standing with a kuni to the man's black haired man's throat. She had black hair with red streaks. She wore silver eye shadow with black eye liner with black and silver glitter mascara. The girl had a red long sleeved shirt that had slits in the arms that showed silver fabric and the whole shirt had black mesh covering it. The pants were black with slits in it that showed red and silver streaks of fabric with silver glitter. The pants were loose enough where you could do anything flexible but tight not too tight to show a good form. The girl had a series of weapons on her that the hilts were red black or sparkly black and silver. But her prize possession her sword was the most decorative of all her weapons. It was as tall as her, it was delicate but it was strong. It had a silver hilt with a glittery black cat on it. It had red flames decorating the sword all the way from the hilt to the tip. I had a black triangle on my nose with black streaks on my cheeks that looked like whiskers.
"Well…if it isn't you! You fell right into my hands."
I meowed with laughter.
"You wish!" With that I cut his throat but he turned into mud.
A replacement jutsu!
I turned around and my eyes searched franticly.
"Rasengan!" The man appeared form nowhere.
I whipped out my sword and it clashed with his Rasengan just in time. When the smoke disappeared I was…let's just say I wasn't myself. My eyes which are usually black were glittery black with red flames in the middle but that wasn't he weirdest thing about them they were the same shape put the pupa was in slits like a cat's!(Can you tell I was a little angry?)
"So you came out after all."
"You were going to get my cousin to kill me. I think I'll come out and play for that." I hissed.
After a while I yawned.
"This battle isn't worth fighting."
"You only say that because you are loosing."
The man had many wounds on him and I had three times as many wounds.
"No I'm just bored. And besides my cousin and I are far enough away so you won't find us."
"But your right in front of me?"
There was a poof and a tree stump fell to the ground.
"That's impossible! You were bleeding! You looked like a cat! You had cat's eyes!"
"Guess again!" Purring could be heard all around him. "I'll play with you later!"
"The boss is going to kill me for loosing her when she appeared right in front of me."
"Good! Now I get to see how painful your death will be!"
The man threw up his arms and screamed.
"I'll get you for this! You won't hear the last from me!"
Meanwhile on the outskirts of a village miles away
"Why didn't you stay and actually fight."
"I needed to get you out of there and besides I said before that I'll play with him later." I said, "What about you? I thought you were dead."
"I was the only one who managed to escape. I knew you were alive. It just wasn't safe for me to look for you.
"Now here is what you need to follow. And don't let anyone know that you have these."
With that he turned and gave me a bag of scrolls.
"Study hard, become the best ninja ever, and don't let anyone stand in your way. But the most important things you need to know don't die and don't trust anyone but yourself!" With that he closed his eyes.
"Cuz, there are so many things I don't understand does this mean? Cuz? CUZ?" I threw myself on him grabbing his vest!
"I'm sorry Scarlet…I can't stay…the rest of the clan…my family…they're calling me…I must go to them…"
"No! Cousin don't die! What am I to do once I achieve all these things?" I said crying.
"You are to build up…the clan!" With that he died.
"Thank you…Skalemati." I said sadly.
I made the proper hand signs to make the grave, made more hand signs that made the marker and the coffin. With that I placed him in the coffin but before that I made the hand signs that let me study what was in his mind and what he had seen of my clan. Now that I knew my clan's secrets I closed the coffin and lowered it into the grave, covering it with dirt. Lastly I made more hand signs, red light glowed from my fingertips, I traced letters onto the grave marker and the words appeared etched in the stone, my other hand shown with black glittery light and I made a border around the grave and passed my hand along the grave marker.
"Now no one can ever bother you." With that I walked away.
