The Last of the Mikos

Kiara woke up rubbing her head, touching some sort of liquid flowing on her forehead. Shocked she took her hand down and saw blood. She must've hit her head on a rock when she landed. Taking a good look at her ring, she noticed it was normal, no aura, no flare, nothing, yet where did it transport her to? Taking a look around she could barely see anything except for a bunch of dark forest trees, the sound of a stream nearby, more trees. Getting up she thought, "Well there's no point in just waiting here for something to happen."

Just then she heard a rustling of leaves and a couple of shouts. Bracing her for whatever was coming her way she quickly hid among the brush to watch what was going on. Just then five guys popped out behind her and crashed her out of the bushes. Apparently they took no notice of her and four, by the look of them the thieves, were pouncing on one snatching what looked like a fan away from the one.

"This isn't right! They have no call for picking on one person!" she said, her eyed going crystal hard blue from anger. With that, Kiara jumped in the way and shouted, "Hey what do you think you guys are doing! Four against one? That's not a fair fight!"

All five turned and stared at her, and stared, and stared until she grew even angrier and yelled out," N...nani?! Why are you guys staring?! Haven't you ever seen a girl before?!"

The just blinked at her until she brought out one of her daggers ready to attack. "One of the thieves smiled and said to the others, "Eh? She's a pretty vicious one yet beautiful all the same. Why don't we take them both back to the boss?" The others snickered, and three of them advanced towards her while the fourth struggled with the fifth one. Just as the thieves took out their own daggers and made a rush towards her, she did a practiced leap into one of the branches of the trees, nimbly landing on her feet crouched.

"Hey! Where'd she go!" one of the thieves exclaimed.

"Looking for someone?" she said dangerously as she leapt out of the tree. First she knocked one down with a hard quick on the head rendering him unconscious and quickly threw a dagger at another's head striking him just between the eyes.

The third began to look scared as she snarled and advanced towards him with another dagger in her hand. Finally he had enough and ran, making Kiara yell after him, "Oh no you don't!" and the blade flew straight into the back of his neck causing him to fall and die quickly. When the fourth looked up he stared, astonished at the girl and snarled, "Who do you think you're dealing with!" He jumped at her releasing his captive, seemingly forgetting him at the moment.

Just as Kiara leapt out of the way, she heard a loud voice shout, "Lekka Shien!" Turning around, she saw the fifth had the fan in his hand, and the last guy on the ground, charred.

Her eyes still blue crystal she turned and faced the stranger staring at her and she had a strange hallucination. Shaking her head she knew it couldn't be him, yet the stranger looked exactly like him! Running towards him she cried, "Takashi! You're here too?!" With that she embraced him tightly while the stranger stood shocked. Looking down he comprehended what happened and roughly shoved her away.

"What the hell do ya think your doing!? I'm not any Takashi, in fact I don't even know you, so what the hell are ya doing embracing me like that?!" he said.

Blinking, Kiara's vision cleared up and she noticed this stranger was NOTHING like Takashi, especially the hair. He had outrageous ruffled orange hair, two beaded necklaces, two earrings, and dressed in a blue cape with black boots. The man even had small fangs!

"Gomen nasai! I thought, I must've had a hallucination," she mumbled blushing. She hugged a complete stranger!

Looking back up at the stranger, he gasped at her and stared with his mouth open. Kiara was very tired with that expression and people staring at her so she snapped back, "What? What's wrong with you now?"

The strangers golden eyes flare up at that, obviously no one has spoken that rudely to him for a while and said, "Well comparing to that fact that you probably come from another world, and your clothes are very different, your eyes just changed from light blue to .brown."

"That's honey brown to you. I guess no one's eyes change color in this 'world' either. My eyes just change color when I'm feeling a strong emotion, like crystal blue for anger, green jade for affection, sorrow to purple, on and on, my regular eye color's honey brown though. Anyways you should take a look at yourself! Your style of clothing is WAY out of date, in fact I'm not sure when they ever wore that kind of clothing."

Taking off her half mask, she felt her head again and winced, the blood had become even worse, and she finally noticed the excruciating pain. She felt as if her head was being torn apart in two. Sinking down to her knees and forgetting the man was standing still watching her with a curious look on his face now, she held her head and passed out.

The man finally noticed that she had a very bad open gash on her head bleeding profusely. "I didn't even ask her name, I was just staring at her like a total idiot. Baka! It's not like I haven't seen a girl from another world before!" he scolded himself.

Looking the girl over again he sighed and said, "Well it looks like I'm just gonna hafta carry ya to my home, till ya get better some. That smell of blood's gonna attract wolves, that's for sure." With that he picked her up carefully and swiftly carried her back home.
