The Shadowed Coin
Chapter 1:The Introduction
"Sometimes I wonder how I got into this mess." I muttered to myself as I walked down the street. "We both know the answer to that." "But was running away really the answer?" "If we stayed, we would've arrested, or killed...probably both." "I guess your right."
On my walk through town, I stumbled upon the bar and stood outside for a second. "Just get a drink, it'll calm your nerves." "We don't have that kind of time, need to get to leave town quickly." I reminded him. "Your too paranoid, we've only been here 3 days. They won't find us anytime soon." I thought about it for a second. "Fine, I guess one drink couldn't hurt."
I stepped inside the bar and looked around. There were only a few people here, and they were all big men with big muscles, big beards, big- "Yes there big, I get it! You don't need to go on!" Oh right, I forgot that since your in my head, you can hear my thoughts. "How could you possibly forget that! We've been stuck to with each other for 11 years!" Ok, calm down, no need to get angry. "Um, sir? Sir?" I looked up and noticed people were staring at me. I guess I was mumbling.
I took a seat at the counter. "What would you like sir?" asked the bartender. "Just some wine please." She smiled at me, and then went to get the drink. "You need to be more careful next time, people think your crazy now" Shut up. If that was anyones fault, it was yours. "I wasn't the one mumbling." he said quietly.
The bartender came back with the drink. "Here you go sir." she said happily. "Thank you." I said and took the drink. "I told you, isn't this great. Nobody's going to find us, you worry too much." I lifted the glass. * CRASH RUMBLE RUMBLE*. The glass flew out of my hand as people started falling around the room. "You were saying." I said to Tarrin, while being the only one still sitting in their seat. "There you are, Exorcist." said a deep scraggly voice.
It was at least 7 feet tall, with large fangs and green skin. It had a bears head on top of a lizards body. "Well, I guess you found me, akuma." He smiled. "Of course I did, the Earl has given the task of finding you to akuma all over the world. If I didn't find you, one of them would." he said gleefully. I grinned. "He wants me that badly, does he. You here that Tarrin, The Earl thinks we're important." "Well, then we should show him what we think of that 'importance'." I smiled. "Gladly."
I pulled out my two crescent moon shaped blades, Luna. "Innocence, Activate!" I said as the blades began to glow with a bright white light. "Haha" screamed the akuma as it charged me on all fours. "I will not be beaten the likes of you, Exorcist!" "I wouldn't be so sure, Lizard...bear... whatever your supposed to look like!"
As the akuma swiped at me with it's claws, I jumped above them and threw one of my blades straight out the door and landed a few feet to the left of him. "What the hell are you aiming for, you idiot!" he said laughing.
He charged again and I just stood there and crossed my arms with a smug grin on my face. Just as he was about to strike, the blade came back through the window and knocked him straight into the wall. "I was aiming for you," I said pulling the blade out of his hide. "and I never miss." Then he exploded.
I put Luna back into my belt and left the bar. "Good news: "they" still haven't found us." "Bad news: the Earl has." "Let's go, Tarrin." "Yes, Ashamar."
