Chapter
2015
Humans were funny things. She found herself thinking that occasionally when she was strangely impressed by them. Kayura had to remind herself that she was technically human herself but she always did forget things like that when she read through the news. The world was a crazier place than the nether realm ever was and at times she wished to return to the place where time stood still for her. Demons, monsters, and spirits were easily predictable but humans were so complicated. She found herself wondering was she this complicated? Or was that part lost to her in the same place that she was ultimately forged. 'Forged' made it sound like she was a weapon. That, she couldn't deny but it made her sad over all.
She had watching the man for a few days now and she was intrigued. He was built like a god, she had only ever seen Kento wear that much muscle with ease and grace. Hair like spun gold and eyes as blue as the summer skies in Kyoto. She found herself rather confused but reminded herself it was completely normal for her to think men were attractive. She had to keep her mind on her mission and it was the Nendo that was stalking him. A low level one that looked a little like a fox with a couple of tails.
She sighed as she saw its glowing eyes in the alley way of the mans house. The sun was setting as soon as it was down she was going to grab the beast, take it out, and head back to join her war lords. Simple in out. Not that she wanted to be dragged into the real world anyways.
The sun was low enough as she saw the beast slinking around the house. Lucky for her, it didn't see her. She felt for the blade she kept tucked in her belt. She hated human clothing but blending into the shadows was what she did best and she would wear what she had to be normal. She slunk across the roof tops and dropped down behind the beast as she slid the blade out. The beast smiled at her and jumped at her.
She cursed as she jumped back from it and decided to lead it away. The beast was a lot bigger than she realized it was, 'no, its growing it size...'
The beast lunged at her again and she rolled out of the way, the beast slamming into the wall. There was a yelp of people from within and she cursed her lapse of judgement. She should have brought a bigger weapon. She decided to be direct and deal with it before police came and she charged it, small dagger or not, she was formidable. The blade bit deep into the back of the beast's neck and it bucked her off. She slammed her head into wall hard, her vision swimming as she tried to get up. She felt blood running down her neck and she realized that she indeed was still human. The beast smiled as it stalked towards and she thought, 'I'll see anubis soon.'
There was a large clang as her vision went black and she saw a flash of red, silver, and blue and the beast falling away from her but she blacked out before she could see her savior's face.
