"Kiui!" a woman screamed. On an abandoned street in The City of Shen a man held a woman as she struggled to break free. Around the man was a circle of men in matching black coats. In the center of the circle was a brown haired girl wearing a purple dress.
"Now," a man spoke in a raspy voice."Are you gonna cooperate?"The girl spat at his feet.
"I think we both know the answer to that Akuma." Akuma shook his head
. "You better watch your mouth," he said and walked over to the struggling woman."or your mother might just pay the price."
"Kiui!" The woman shouted. Kiui instantly tensed.
"Let her go. NOW!" she shouted. Akuma shook his head again.
"Not unless you and your sisters join me and my potential for magic is just what we need to take over this town." Kiui laughed.
"You idiots you think you can do that when the Saiko are visiting Sinshen tomorrow?" She closed her eyes and her face tightened up in concentration. She opened her eyes and flung herself at Akuma. She kicked him hard in the chest and fire flew from her foot and burned him and all of his gang members around him.
"IDIOTS!" She screamed. She punched a gang member in the face which scorched his eyebrows off.
"Retreat!" Akuma shouted. Kiui smirked and quickly ran over to her mother.
"Mom, I didn't burn you did I?" Kiui asked softly. Kiui's mother shook her head.
"No sweetheart. Your magic is getting stronger quickly." Her mother sighed. "which means more of them will come." Kiui nodded.
"I know Mom." Kiui looked over her shoulder, as if expecting more men in black coats to appear.
"Let's get going to check on Sekkai and the others." Her mother stood up shaking from the terrifying incident they had just escaped. as quick as they could, Kiui and her mother hurried towards their little cottage near the edge of the town.
When they opened the door they found a girl with short mouse-like brown hair and bright green eyes that were filled with tears standing by the door. As soon as she saw them she pulled them into a tight embrace.
" It was another attack wasn't it?" she whispered. Kiui nodded slowly. She was exhausted from her fight.
"Come on Kiui, I know your tired so you should go to bed. You too Sekkai." The other brown haired girl grumbled something inaudible.
"No complaints Sekkai. Get your other sisters in bed as well." Sekkai stalked off to fetch Orenji and Ringo while their mother helped Kiui up the stairs. as soon as they got to the sisters attic bedroom, Kiui collapsed on her bed. Kiui's mother pulled the blankets over her and blew out the lanterns in the room. She walked out of the room and Kiui waited until her other sisters were in bed.
"Kiui?" Kiui heard Ringo's sweet voice. "Are you OK?" Kiui chuckled softly.
"It was nothing I couldn't handle." Kiui turned to face her.
"But still if these attack continue we're bound to give in sometime." Ringo said.
"I agree with Ringo," Kiui heard Orenji say.
"That's why I have a plan."
