Chapter 10 - Amidamaru's Departure

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Mia's P.O.V)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

We now return with Mia and Amidamaru heading their way to get to the city. Both of them tired from no rest and the moon shining on Amidamaru's armor. Mia almost blacked out three times before so they take a break for the night.

"I'm. so glad we get to rest. Why do places always have to be so far!" complained Mia trying to fall asleep on her grassy bed. Amidamaru sitting above her making sure she is not hurt during the night. The next morning Mia awakes and Amidamaru rushes her to get ready to set off again. "We'll be walking forever." complained Mia like always. Amidamaru just nodded and picked her up and he did the walking from that point on until. they found a man dressed in all red, his red cloak covered him so only his face could be seen. His red hair shined bright in the sunlight as he sat there on the tree branch, seeming to be waiting for someone, or something.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" he yelled as he jumped down from the branch and got into a fighting position. He drew out a sword and pointed it towards where Amidamaru and Mia were. They both just stood back hiding in the bushes, Amidamaru waiting for Mia's signal to attack or ignore him. He seemed to be a shaman because he had a spirit with him. Or at least so they thought.

"Show yourself or feel the wrath of Nataku!" he yelled, swinging his sword around trying to lure them out. Mia gave the signal for Amidamaru to go fight Amidamaru comes out from behind the bush with his sword out, ready for battle. Nataku pulls off his red cloak and is wearing light plate mail underneath. Both their swords emitting blinding white light from the sun, Nataku decides to make the first strike. Nataku runs at Amidamaru and slashes his armor while Amidamaru slices down and cuts through his armor badly cutting Nataku's arm, the blood begins to pour out of the cut. Nataku retaliates by slashing into Amidamaru's side an almost ethereal fluid comes out of Amidamaru.

"I am sorry. mistress Mia. I can't go much longer" said Amidamaru the ethereal blood coming out of his side. He then ran at Nataku and stabbed his through the stomach and Nataku fell to his knees. Nataku then split into four, Three of them holograms. Nataku then through up his blood covered sword and punched Amidamaru in the face. Amidamaru steps forward and the sword flies into his neck killing Amidamaru sending him to the next world. Nataku grins, covered in blood and walks away, Mia breaks into tears seeing her best friend and spirit sent to the spirit world.
