Misaki city, Tokyo, Japan. May 17, 1997, 8:53 am
It was a beautiful morning for Misaki city and I, Sakai Yuji, is here with Shana,
Practicing my skills so I can fight alongside with her. We have been so close these past few days but I didn't expect that the following days would be different…
CHAPTER 1: THE ANGEL OF FLAMES
Yuji and Shana were walking to school together. It was another day for both of
them and they were happy for it.
"Yuji, we'll train later, I'll set up a fuzetsu near the river at 5. Is that okay for
you? Shana asked while munching on the melon bread brought for her by Yuji.
"Uhm, it's okay but please go easy on me I'm just a beginner." Yuji
pleaded.
"Excuses are just for cowards" a deep voice was heard from Shana's necklace, Alastor.
They were chatting with each other when suddenly, an expected thing happened- a fuzetsu appeared around the area.
"Fuzetsu? Who set it up?" Yuji asked rhetorically.
"Flame haired burning eyed hunter…" a voice said.
"Who are you?" Yuji demanded.
"Friagne, the flame haze murderer. That is my name" a person appeared from the distance. He wore a white Americana with white array of robes surrounding around him.
"Flame haze murderer huh? I'll kill you!" Shana materialized her night coat and from it, she took her sword, ready to fight.
"Let's begin, flame haired burning eyed hunter." Friagne said
"My name is Shana, call me Shana!"
Shana attacked Friagne vigorously, as she started striking him with horizontal and vertical slashes; he managed to dodge and tried to counter with a continuous throw of ball of flames towards her. Shana sidestepped and raised her sword to defend his strike. Ball of flames surrounded her immediately, she was able to fly and avoid it, but least she knows that numerous balls of flames awaited her on top. It eventually hit her, causing her to fall in front of Yuji.
"Shana! Are you alright?" Yuji supported her to stand as she moved forward to protect him from Friagne's attack
"Flame haired burning eyed hunter… I finally get to meet you, but it seems that your title does not fit you. You are defeated like that so easily. I guess, is it because of the Mystes over there?" he took a glance at Yuji but Shana looked at him sternly.
"Don't you ever touch him, if you want to live longer"
"Oh really? You cannot touch the tip of my hair easily then, how could you kill me? Friagne asked Shana affront who was then readying herself for the next round.
"Urasai! Urasai! Urasai!"
Shana attacked Friagne again, she began manipulating flames on her sword, but it took no advantage against him. He was able to avoid and counter immediately. Surprisingly, Shana sidestepped and hit him with a horizontal slash. It tore friagne's robe in half. Miserably, it was just a counterfeit. He kicked Shana's face hardly, that she and her sword fell with great impact.
