Heh. Time to make this an awesome 5-page battle between the disgusting horror of Menkatsu and the goddess-slayer Tobi. Heh. If only I had that figured out… But really, that's next chapter. If anyone really wants it, I can bring this chapter up to a second level of bloody-gory-horrorness very easily. One last thing- make sure you think you are nightmare-proof before reading this chapter.
Tobi wandered out of the town, cursing himself for being part Twili. The trees were shaking and the scenery was rustling but Tobi took no notice to the obvious threat.
Menkatsu was nearing the boy, imagining what something like him would taste like, and if it would scream. He lurked closer, making the place around him shudder with the impact of his clumsily placed foot. The area shook, but Tobi still did not notice the danger.
Menkatsu prowled nearer and nearer, hungry pupil free eyes setting sights on Tobi. To Menkatsu, Tobi looked like a main course, already distracted by its thoughts and ready to be ripped and shredded to pieces. The bloodied image of Tobi's body formed in the monster's mind, making him chuckle with excitement. But that was is mistake. The chuckle of an inhuman voice was plenty enough to make Tobi draw his sword and check the area. Tobi was no novice at things like this. He drew in a deep breath, and the scent of rotting flesh filled his nose. The newly found stench was the key to finding his attacker, so Tobi cautiously approached in the direction of the cave, the cave's mouth appearing right before his eyes. The place smelled horridly, Tobi could almost taste the salty blood on his lips, and shivered in pure fear. The air in the cave was thick with the scent and the taste, but Tobi continued on, trying not to fear what he though he might find.
Tobi entered the second part of the cave, and realized something horrible. He had entered the cave, but could now see no way back out. The cave had looked like a long passage from the beginning, but he now realized all of the twists and turns he had taken, without marking his way. Tobi began to breathe heavily, the feeling bringing the taste of blood to his mouth. Or was it just the taste? Tobi stopped, mind cluttered and dazed, and looked down to his chest, to see a long yellowing claw being pushed slowly through his stomach. Tobi moved his tongue in his previously dry mouth, and ran it over his lips. He felt something wet. Something that wasn't supposed to be there. The salty taste brought him back to thinking clearly. He could sense the the foreign object piercing through him, and he could feel blood dripping down his tunic, and soaking his back. The claw retreated, and Tobi fell down, the feeling stuck in him, and he breathed deeply. Tobi closed his eyes, and opened them, to look down and see no blood whatsoever. He reran his tongue over his dry lips. Nothing. It had been an illusion. Tobi looked back down the cave. His red eyes saddened at seeing the endless corridors still there. Tobi picked himself up, and continued into the second chamber. Upon seeing what lay in the chamber, Tobi ran over to the corner, and vomited. He held his stomach, feeling the tension grow so you could cut it with a knife.
"What the hell kind of a cannibalistic bastard lives here?" Tobi picked himself up, and took to staring at the fresh bodies. The thing that had killed him was the missing limbs and body parts, and the severed pieces. Tobi tried to understand, but failed to figure why one would do such a thing to two little girls. The situation worsened when Tobi saw a small teddy bear in a pool of blood, a few feet away. The toy was stained with blood, and ripped down the center about five inches. Tobi approached it, feeling very bad for the little girl now. Without a second thought, Tobi picked the bear out of the blood, staining his own hands. He carried it over to the ravaged body of the little girl who appeared to be the youngest. He laid the toy next to her. Tobi stiffened up as he felt the stink of breath on his shoulder. He shot up, his senses electrified at the threat. Tobi didn't want to turn around. He was afraid to, to see whatever was slowly approaching him, ready to kill. Tobi found his courage, and turned. The beast he saw was no creation of the goddesses, and it was certainly an one and only. Tobi smirked at the perverse world in which he lived. The beast would have been wickedly terrifying, if it had been any color other than pink. Tobi held back a small groan as he heard the monster shift uneasily, and snort in defiance at the look of pure distaste that was in Tobi's eyes. Tobi could almost imagine tiny black pupils rolling the beast's eyes as it approached. Tobi was trying his hardest to take it seriously, but it was all too damn hard with the beast as pink as it was. But finally, something else caught Tobi's eye. The pink creature had bloodstains all over it's body, and claws with small pieces of flesh hanging off, from previous meals. Tobi felt a spasm in his stomach and felt himself swallow it down. He couldn't get too cocky. This thing wasn't one to be meddled with. Tobi drew his sword, and pulled off his shield, the inverted Triforce shining the small amount of light in the cave up against the wall. The thing groaned, and smirked right back at him. The night was still young. In Menkatsu's eyes, Tobi was standing there defenseless, waiting to be completely destroyed by his jaws. Menkatsu let a large grin spread across his face. His teeth, small blood soaked spears, frightened Tobi among all else. Even his teeth were pink…
Sorry that that was so short! I just had to start that battle like this, and I needed to cheer myself up. I was going to put the battle in this chapter, but I thought that if I tried, It would get too long for me to handle and I would stay up all night typing.
-If anyone wants to know why I need cheering up, Its because I fell really hard while snowboarding today. I was practicing toeside turns (I suck at that) and I didn't know how fast I was going, and I hit an icy patch. In the frenzy of keeping oneself calm, one forgets their surroundings. I didn't see the small slope ahead of me. I hit it, flew up, wasn't able to prepare to land, and slammed down on my tailbone. Do you even KNOW how much it hurts to fall on your tailbone? I'M STILL IN PAIN. (mutters to self about snowboard instructors being idiots)
