And I'm back! After three or so days... doesn't matter! So here is my new story and as per usual; I don't own any of the Soul Eater characters in this story. Ash, Xavier and extras do belong to me! And I'm ranting; Enjoy.

The First Kishin and Demon Sword Master

Prologue

Pain, fear, madness and death. What do they all have in common? Power, this is used to run the world Ash lives in. The wealthy rule over the poor and the strong conquer the weak. What better way to go on top than gaining power, and lots of it?

Asura plans to become the world's first kishin; a demon god. And he plans to do this with Ash's help. What could possibly happen when a huntress based on survival and a meister gone mad team up? Three words; chaos, fear and death.

Chapter One

As a sign of Ash's good will, she accepted to defend a village from a pack on humans on the verge of becoming werewolves. In exchange; Ash will receive whichever reward she desires. So as long as it is within the villagers grasp.

"When do these wolf men strike?" Ash asked the village's elder.

"They usually come out when the moon reached its zenith," he answered.

Ash gazed up. "Dusk," she rolled her shoulder. "That leaves me about three hours. I'll be back by that time."

"But wait! Where are you going?"

"Don't worry," Ash lowered her head so the elder couldn't see her smile. "I'd never miss an opportunity to see such unique souls," she walked towards the edge of the village.

"So as long as you eradicate those damn devils!"

"Do you really doubt my skills?" Ash thought as she walked for half a kilometre before stopping. "Hmph, oh well. I won't have to deal with you any longer once we leave."

Asura jumped out of a tree and landed in front of Ash. "Can I go now?"

Ash chuckled. "Be a little more patient, love. Just last for twenty four hours and that village is yours."

Asura smiled. "And what if I don't want their souls?" he pushed back Ash's hood to reveal her head of dark blue hair.

"I have three hours," Ash cocked her head.

"Always the smart mouth."

"One of the many qualities you love about me," Ash pulled Asura down to kiss her.

Keeping her promise, Ash returned to the village half an hour before the moon reached its zenith. Most of the residents gathered to witness Ash's victory.

"I believed that you would leave this village to die," the elder smiled.

"That only happens after," Ash thought and smiled sweetly. "I would never! It is in my very nature to protect."

"Elder!" a young boy came running.

"What is it child?" the elder crouched to eye level.

"They are coming!"

"What?!" the elder's eyes widened in shock. He looked at the huntress.

"A little early, no?" Ash asked and readied her bow with an arrow and approached the region where the wolf men would come. "Alright, come and get me!"

Ash was greeted by six men quickly coming at her. Some had muscular bodies, others had far too much hair, tail and claws but they all had certain aspects in common; foam at the mouth, glowing eyes and a thirst for blood.

"A pleasure to meet you as well," Ash shot the closest one.

The man let out a yelp before rolling on the ground and turning black. Another wolf man jumped at her. Ash backed away then jumped. She used the body of her attacker for an extra boost. She flipped and shot him in the back. Before landing on the ground, Ash shot two other wolf men.

The idiot villagers who were still present stared in awe.

"What are you still standing around for?!" Ash shouted at them. "There is a lot more than six coming! Go into your homes, it isn't safe for you out here!"

They paused for a moment before obeying Ash's command.

Ash gritted her teeth then looked at her opponents; ten more soon emerged from the shadows of the forest. "These people are better off dead, I swear!" Ash charged.

Another wolf man lunged at her. Ash slid on the ground and shot an arrow through his chest. Everything moved so quickly Ash could barely keep up with her actions.

"Could this be because of the madness?" Ash thought and stabbed a wolf man through his eye. "I've never moved this quickly before; too scared to do so. Damn Asura, what have you dragged me into?" Ash began to laugh. "Whatever it is, I'm glad!" she jumped back when one the creatures tried to strike her. "Damn… if this is how I move now; how fast will I be when I truly become a kishin?" Ash shot two arrows at two monsters. "Only one way to find out!"

From that moment on; Ash's mind went blank.

Asura sat back against a tree as he watched Ash work. She had no mercy; wolf men left and right were being slaughtered. Hmm, what do their souls taste like? Perhaps he should have asked earlier… or he can always take on after the fight.

"Just how many are there?" Asura wondered. "So far, Ash has killed twenty… twenty five of these wolf men," his question was answered when Ash reached number thirty. After that, the attacks stopped. He smiled.

Ash blinked. She was surrounded by thirty souls. "How did this happen?" she wondered as she stood. "Hmph, oh well," she strapped on her bow. "I really did hope they would put up more of a fight," her eyes traveled to where Asura was spectating; he was gone. "Impatient are we?" she planted a hand on her hips as a scream was heard from a house not too far away. Ash sighed. "Oh Asura… what am I going to do with you?"

Well, the answer to that question was obvious; remain by his side until the very end. Even if that means fighting against Death himself.

This seems more like a ginormous prologue, right? Oh well. I'll be posting chap 2 and others as soon as possible.
