A/N: Well then seeing that this story is the theme of our University Anime Night I decided to write a fic to it. Yes I know that the start is short, but the next chapter will be longer…
Prologue
"When Death claims a person whit a strong will to live,
if that one desire is so strong,
a Shikabane is born.
They are not human anymore but monsters,
if a Shikabane makes a contract with a monk they become their weapons.
The ones killing Shikabane…
…Shikabane Hime…
A heavy rain was falling hard over the forest, dark clouds darkening the night sky. There was no wind, only the cold rain falling down from the heavens. Thunder cracked, mixing with the sound of breaking wood. Down in the dark forest, between fallen over leaves lay a grotesque creature with a long rat like face, long teeth, it's skin a sickly yellow color and four pair of clawed hands and a ram like tail. The creature's dark eyes flew suddenly open, jumping to it's feet stared the monster at the nearing figure. Cold metal glinted in the light of lightning.
"I'm sorry that it takes this long, but you can soon move on." said the shorter figure.
Lighting flashed again.
The creature jumped up, charging at the person whom only smiled. Suddenly there was a new flash of lighting illuminating cold metal as the creature's pained scream haled over the roaring thunder and the sound of rain falling to the ground.
"May your soul rest now in peace." the figure said gently before looking up to the stormy sky. "The rain always purifies the world."
