Well, I'm back! I made a new chapter with some encouragement! Sorry this is so short, and thanks for all the reviews so far! :D
Shiro
The dark woods simply closed around that one figure as it walked into the trees.
Sporting no prominent curves, and short hair dyed bluish in the moonlight. Her purple eyes were dark and almost lifeless.
Blood stained her, all of her, from her ragged skirt and dirty shirt several sizes too big, across her cheeks, even dripping from the bottoms of her bare feet, trailing bloody footprints. Flowing from the blade she clutched in her right hand.
A boy stood behind her, a little younger, and a lot shorter. His black hair was messy and in spikes, dried with blood.
"… Stay back." She growled as the boy tried to take a step closer.
"But, miss! You must be exhausted!"
Her dull eyes flashed with an indescribable anger.
"Fuyu! Do you want to die?"
The boy shook his head. "No, but it is my task to care for your wellbeing, miss."
"Fuyu. Stop being so mature. An eight year old should have the minimum amount of responsibilities. Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself, okay?"
She attempted a small smile. "Anyway, I'd prefer if it was a pretty girl taking care of me, not a little boy." She ruffled his hair playfully. "Now stay back."
Out of the line of trees, hundreds of dark mages charged right at them. The girl gave a completely insane smile.
One moment she stood in front of them. The next, she was behind them, and their throats were slit. Her blade ran with fresh blood.
Fuyu clapped slowly. "As good as ever, miss."
"Well, I can't get rusty can I?"
A shadow fell over Fuyu's face. "Miss. Is that the only reason you are killing the ones you have called family for years?"
"Of course not. They have done me so much wrong I cannot keep track of it all." She gave a cold laugh. "I don't even consider them family. But don't worry, you're the only one I can stand." She again patted his head.
He grabbed her wrist, the shadow still over his face. "… So you were planning this all along…?" He squeezed her arm, trying to break it.
The girl just smiled and laughed with that same insane glint in her eyes. "Oh, very good. You've gotten better, Fuyu!" She swung her blade at his face. He dodged, but barely. The result was a deep, slanted slash across his face.
He stumbled back, landing on his back with a small 'splish'. His blood ran down his cheeks and, landing on the already soaked ground, mixed with the blood of a hundred others.
"Traitor!" He hissed, an enraged look in his eyes.
As he stood up, he thought he imagined the flash of sadness that passed her face.
After a second that disgusting smile was back in full force, accented by the fresh blood.
"Fuyu! Fuyu, keep this alive! This moment, replay it in your mind! Over, and over, and over again! Remember the scent of this blood! Keep that scar as a reminder! Remember my face!"
Fuyu was frozen. The image searing into his mind. Crazed purple eyes, purple hair that looked blue in the moonlight, a body and blade stained with the blood of everyone he had ever known.
"Very well! I will remember you, Traitor Coryinth Strystar!"
With a laugh and a swirl of petals, she was gone.
Fuyu fell to his knees and cried. "What happened to you?"
His voice became deeper, more gravelly. "Nevermind. I'll kill you. Traitor!"
When he looked up again, his eyes were cold and unrecognizable.
