I was sitting down at a tea shop on Nikkoukai Road. It wasn't over raged with customers and travelers like other roads. In fact, it was actually pretty clear and only a good amount of people traveled the streets for tea. I had my hair in a low ponytail staring at my cup in boredom. The tea seemed really cloudy, an ominous omen. I discarded the tea cup to the waitress, and stood up ready to leave the small shop.

I looked to the side to see a sign that interested me. There was a legendary man's name written clearly on the small wooden board. Demon Eyes Kyo, the thousand man slayer. I narrowed my eyes, looking at the reward. Boy did he have a lot of zeroes behind that 1. I looked back forward to see a few men eyeing me peculiarly. I looked to the right of the sign, from the corner of my eyes, and saw what made them stare. My name on a wooden board just like Demon eyes Kyo. I walked up and paid the shop owner bowing then leaving the men behind me baffled. After that entire picture was taken a year ago and I didn't look the same anymore. My hair had darkened, I'd grown taller, and much more mature if I do say so myself. I kept walking down the long path and passed a medicine peddler sitting, err... knocked over looking at his medicine box. I stopped and stared at him for a moment, feeling a dangerous aura surrounding him, before leaving.

About a ways into the walk I heard a few gun shots, and I turned slightly looking back and thinking about the medicine peddler. When I did I saw a black shadowy form run across the street, unseen by most travelers. That's when I noticed, there were no travelers down this path. I narrowed my eyes and continued my way back to check things out. I got back to Nikkoukai Road at sundown, and walked straight into some bushes and trees where I saw the medicine peddler hanging form a tree and some girl putting more bullets into her gun. I stared at them.

"What's going on here?" The girl turned around quickly then put her hand over her heart to help her breathe.

"Miss you scared me, I'm the bounty hunter, Yuya Shiina, and I'm taking him for the reward." I cocked an eyebrow in plain amusement and walked over to a wooden barn and leaned against the side staring at them. The medicine peddler turned to me curiously.

"Miss what are you doing?" I stared at him blankly.

"Enjoying the show...although, this rest is going to be over very soon." I mumbled the last part to my self.

"What? I didn't hear the rest." I looked away and stared at the sky dimming slightly. The sun was on its way past the horizon, hidden behind the silhouette of the leafy trees. Yuya then started talking about how the medicine peddler was a pervert and Demon Eyes Kyo when I felt something. She must have felt it too, because she turned the same way I did. I pulled out my sword just a thumbs length.

"Who's there?" Yuya shouted into the wind, which I could tell, was not giving off a very pleasant vibe. A snake looking man came out looking at us, a slimy smirk on his face. I walked forward stepping beside Yuya, eyeing the "man" closely.

"Who are you?" Yuya yelled. He smirked, the kind of smirk that would give you the creeps if you haven't seen anything worse before, and trust me...most people haven't.

"I am the greatest person in this world." I scoffed and put one hand on my hip.

"That spot is taken." He laughed corruptibly.

"Girl, do you think you are the best samurai in this world?" I shook my head a small smirk playing on my lips as well.

"No, I have second place. The best samurai in this world is Demon Eyes Kyo. Though, if you'd like to know, I plan to take on first place, eventually." He smiled evilly. This was not my day. His tongue came creeping out sickly. Slime, coated his tongue, shining in the dim sunlight. Yuya out of shock shot at him three times. However, they just happened to stick to his tongue like glue. She widened her eyes and backed away. I stood there drawing my sword like a crescent. Kyoshiro did the least logical thing to do, for a man, at least, which was screaming like a girl. I turned back to him, but turned back around quickly when I felt a disturbance in the air around me. The three bullets Yuya had shot at him were headed straight my way. I scowled, and made a clean swipe with my blade. I watched as the bullets cracked before me, then fell to the ground useless. I then let my eyes roam the man's face. It had grown longer and he had fangs, venomous snake fangs. Every day just keeps getting better doesn't it? I thought sarcastically, before I stepped away as his whole body began transforming, and Kyoshiro was thrown backwards. I felt another presence coming, as I pushed Yuya behind me.

"Damn..." I muttered and the man thingy turned to me and Yuya. I glared at him, but before I could say anything Kyoshiro spoke.

"No…don't hurt them..." I clenched my teeth. I certainly did not need pity at this moment. I jumped down from the tree I was on and was about to run forward when two arms appeared in front of me. A man with black hair and a boy with lavender hair were standing beside me stopping me from moving.

"You two do realize that he needs help right?" The man smiled mischievously and nodded. I narrowed my eyes at his face…he seemed so familiar…

"Just wait a little longer you'll see the shock of your life." I groaned, but agreed anyways. On the other Kyoshiro was getting thrown down multiple times, only to be pulled back up and thrown down again, just how long did this guy want to keep this going on? I broke away from my thoughts as something caught my eye. Kyoshiro Mibu the clumsy medicine man had just caught one of the beast's tails. Maybe...this wasn't Kyoshiro...maybe it was a completely different person...

When Kyoshiro opened his eyes they glowed a sickly blood red. I widened my eyes and stepped back, remembering that face, and more importantly those eyes. The eyes that had shown to be brighter than blood, and deeper than death itself.

"No...It can't be...it's...Demon Eyes Kyo..." I had no idea what was going through my head. I didn't see this coming. The man who killed one thousand men was standing before me pissed off as hell. I looked at the man standing beside me who was smirking highly. He knew exactly what was going on. All I wanted was to find his body, just what did I get myself into?

"Huh...so that was your plan." I turned back to watch the fight. The snake-man was completely confused. I could tell by the look in his eyes, though, this is exactly what he'd been waiting for. He must have had somewhat an idea who he was, but obviously not enough to realize that he was staring into his own death. Kyo stood up straight not turning around.

"You need to ask my name?" I gasped silently. Kyo's voice sent the slightest bit of chills down my spine. His voice spoke death.

Kyo turned around with an evil intent in his eyes and a grim smile. It was a horrible sight to stare into those eyes, yet...they were appealing they drew me in like a spell. It didn't matter how evil he looked, what he really looked like, was inconsiderately crazy.

"Do you want to die that badly?" I smirked inwardly. What a huge ego, but I guess that's what makes him the best. I was still second though and that spot was reserved for my brother, but he's gone.

The man beside me took the sword from his belt, and threw it to Kyo who slightly turned to us catching the Muramasa, but turned his attention back to the snake man. Was it just me or did Kyo just glow red? I smirked and watched as the snake man would the beat down of his life and wouldn't live through it.

The snake-man then started off about how Kyo had ignored him 4 years ago.

"Do I know you?" Kyo asked egotistically.

"WHAT?" Snaky screeched. I shook my head in disapproval. He then picked up Yuya with his tail. This was getting out of hand. Someone was going to die and hopefully only the snake man would. Kyo unsheathed his sword not really caring for Yuya as the snake man. I glared, and quickly palmed a dagger. I tossed in the air, and began eyeing the man's tail...3, 2, 1. I grabbed the dagger from the air, pinning a direct hit. I winced as Yuya hit the ground, and then began crawling towards us in fear. My eyes returned to Kyo and for that small moment, we locked eyes, before I turned my glare to the youkai. Now the real fight would begin like I had been anticipating from the beginning.
Snaky threw leaf like shards at Kyo lightning fast. They spun cutting everything else but Kyo. He dodged them quickly and efficiently getting ever closer to snaky. However, when Kyo slammed down his sword at the creature it stopped. I narrowed my eyes, as I watched the tail begin to spin, faster than lightning. I had seen through that a long time ago. Kyo started to try to hit it aimlessly (and stupidly on my account). He turned slightly and we met eyes once again. He scoffed and turned back to the monster.

"Girl how come you didn't tell me about this sooner?" I smiled innocently.

"Dear Kyo I have no idea what you're talking about." He glared at me, but I just smiled.

"Your sword has lost its edge Demon Eyes Kyo. You can't cut me with that!" Kyo looked over his sword deeply. It had a chipped blade so badly I chuckled. Snaky then clawed at Kyo widely and dust surrounded us. I tried to see through it but just no use. I then closed my eyes and breathed deeply concentrating on the life around me. I blocked out everything it was just darkness. However, I could still feel lots of heart beats. Everyone was alive and counted for. I opened my lids to see the dust had cleared. Kyo was standing with his blade horizontally and this was it. I backed out behind the tree with my eyes closed just listening to everything that would be happening around me in a moment's notice. Kyo was going to do his signature move.

"You can't even get within range of me!" I heard a loud explosion and I knew it was over. No one had ever survived that technique except Kyoshiro Mibu who, at the moment, was...gone.

"You heard it too didn't you? The voice of the wind?" As those words were mouthed I slowly opened my eyes.

"So…he is the real Demon Eyes Kyo..."
