A slam had surprised them, causing the samurai to jump into the Yato's arms. When he looked back to check on Kagura and Shinpachi, they vanished. The silver haired samurai was now at his defensive stance while the brunette Yato drew her umbrella out. Where could those two be? They have no idea. Nodding at each other, they went on separate ways to look for their missing friends.
Both of them thought that this was going to be a long night.
Chapter 1
Wakana continued to run across the withered field of shrubs. This used to be a beautiful garden, she reminded herself of the past.
Plip... Plop... Haaa
A slight sound of saliva dripping had interrupted her thoughts, though she pretended not to hear anything. Wakana remained her usual demeanor but heightened her senses and alertness, anytime this creature could attack and this time, it's going to rain blood.
Just by thinking about it, she felt disgusted about herself. A Yato will always remain hungry for blood and war but despite that, she still tries to suppress these desires, was it that hard? Yes, as hard as hell, she continued to roam aimlessly in order to lure the creature out using herself as the bait and eventually it bit the trap. Scrambling out of its hiding place, the ayakashi quickly sprang upon her back and opened hideous mouth filled with teeth that were sharper than blades with the stench of the dead that can be smelled even if it you're 10 feet apart. Confident enough that it would eat the girl, it never expected for her to fight. Wakana stopped the beast just on time before it could bite her; the umbrella now pierced its throat and with one press, shot the yokai into pieces. The flesh was scattered everywhere, blood was flowing like a geyser and the brunette seemed to be enjoying things.
"Just as I thought... It's going to rain blood tonight." The Yato muttered to herself.
"You bitch... How did you see me?" The yokai struggled to speak.
"O-ya... You can talk? Of course I can see you, you're completely visible." She answered.
"I-Impossible... You can't—" Wakana shot it once more.
"It's possible, now rest in pieces." The brain of the yokai came out of its head.
The brunette shook her umbrella to remove the blood and continued searching for Shinpachi and Kagura, little that she know that a much powerful ayakashi or yokai was watching her kill a supernatural being which everyone was supposed to be afraid of. She was a unique person, based on what he observed.
"I know you're out there so come out now. Tch another one?" Wakana sensed another presence.
Amused with her heightened senses, Rihan decided to deactivate his fear and approach the brave soul. This is going to be fun...
"It's quite amazing for you to sense that trash's existence. You're brave, I'll give you that."
"Hah? Why should I want your acknowledgement? You think too high of yourself, damn punk." Hearing this, a vein popped out of Rihan's head.
"Omae... Don't you think you are the one acting like a damn brat? Hmph! don't you know who I am—?" He was cut off by a brisk wind coming from his right side and a few hits of the debris coming from the crack on a wall. She punched the wall; she freaking punched the wall... Who is this girl? The commander was now astonished and curious about her, he almost swore.
"Shut up! One more word and I will crush you." Wakana threatened the spiky haired man.
"If I were you... I wouldn't do that." A red string was tangled upon the girl's wrist.
"Nidaime! Are you alright?" A headless man was holding the string restraining the Yato appeared out of nowhere.
"Ah, kubinashi, you're just in time for the fun." Rihan was now feeling stronger than Wakana.
"Ugh it's so noisy in here... Oi! Wakana who are these people?" Gintoki arrived at the scene.
"They're no one, Gin-chan. Let's go." The girl was now giving the two ayakashis a death glare.
"Oh okay... I did not find them but this was on one of the bushes." The silver perm doubted the Yato's words.
"Ehhh?! Shinpachi's glasses? Shinpachi are you okay? Oi! Answer me!" Wakana tried speaking to the glasses.
"Stupid that does not mean that if Shinapchi's trade mark is his glasses that is already his soul."
"No, there's a saying that goes that whatever you own is your soul also."
"You're wrong... I think it's more like the things you own reflect you as a person." Kubinashi disagreed with Wakana's idea.
"Who gave you the permission to butt in? Anyways, I want to fight with you." Now the brunette challenged him. "Right Gin-chan? Huh? Where is he...?" There was a note that fell on her head:
Wakana,
Good luck on your fight! I need to take a dump.
- Sakata Gintoki
That moment, the young Yato fell silent. Wakana's blood began boiling so was her will. Rihan and Kubinashi could sense a killer aura coming out of her. Breathing deeply and exhaling it swift, they knew she was pissed. Her eyes were dark and cold, the grip from the umbrella tightened and with one high jump the ground cracked. Everything went slow motion for the two and because of the moonlight they could see the girl better. Her eyes were the color of the earth, brown and beautiful while the reflection of the moon glistened through it. The girl's brown hair was perfectly straight and long with her nose that was annoyingly cute (noted by Rihan). Her beauty may be average but her charisma was captivating.
Captured by what they saw, everything got interrupted when she started to speak:
"The headless man and the abnormally hair gelled guy remember this night, my name is Wakana and I will kill you!" As soon as those words came out of her mouth, she charged right through them, with a grim smile on her face.
For a second the two froze but when they started smelling a metallic and bitter vile, they quickly turned and got surprised with what they witnessed: a little girl whose umbrella is piercing a person's chest. The man's face was hidden by a large cloth
"Blah blah blah blah, so annoying... Are you guys in heat or something?" Wakana asked the man that she stabbed.
Behind the masked man were a group of rounins and men dressed like the guy she stabbed ready to charge right at her when a strong hit from the back had caused 5 men to them to fly from their places. Kubinashi was astonished with what he had witnessed, who could do such a thing?
"Isn't that supposed to be my line?" The moonlight was revealing Sakata Gintoki holding his wooden sword.
"Ehh... So copyrighted Sakata Gintoki to Wakana-CHAN!" The brunette hit another.
Rihan and his subordinate watched them as they swung their weapons on their hands showing a great strength, hitting each opponent with precision. Based on his observation, the silver haired samurai was good at using his strong hits to knock down yet it feels like he was still holding back. However, the girl named Wakana was great at using her strength, agility and flexibility in order to knock down her enemies just by using her bare fists and umbrella. Her only problem is, she does not use it efficiently so it somehow affects her endurance.
"Hyaaa! At last... It's over!" Wakana felt relieved as they had finished knocking the last opponent down.
"You said it..." Gin started to sit down, "So, who were those guys?" He asked.
"Who knows...?" The yato stared to the place where they were standing. "Tch, he got away".
I will get you one day, Mr. Drunk Abnormally Hair Gelled Guy. Just wait.
