Cauchmar
In my dreams, I see her face. Her bright blue eyes,
those sweet cherry blossom lips, that long flowing hair.
I remember the warmth of her embrace, but I also remember
How cold she felt after she was murdered by that beast that
Monster.
"Shang." Came Tenkai's steady voice, "Shang, are you alright, you were tossing and turning."
"I'm fine, where the hell is that little water-sprite
now?" asked Shang, sitting up and lighting a cigarette.
"Saru, get over here!" shouted Shang.
"Coming Shang, just went for some water at the stream."
Said Saru, "I saw some people with limiters on, so I think
We might be getting close to Kamei village."
"Well what do you know, there might be some use for you after all water-sprite." Said Shang, egging Saru on.
"Who are you calling a water-sprite you…" but Saru's sentence was cut short by the sound of a shrill scream and a bone crushing "GGGRRRAAAHHH"
"What was that?" exclaims Tenkai.
"I've a feeling were about to find out." States Shang calmly, but he already knows what it is. It's the sound of a demon without its limiter. He knows this sound becaues it's the same sound that haunts his dreams. It's the same sound he heard when that creature killed his love, when he killed his love.
Shang knew as soon as that beast emerged from the woods, they wouldn't stand a chance. He knew the only way to beat a berserk demon without its limiter was to be a berserk demon without its limiter. So the first thing he did when that monstrosity charged at them, with its eyes glaring, its nose flaring, and its veins pulsing, was shatter his own limiter and pray that none of his friends would get in his way.
