3x3 Eyes: Shadow Under the Moon

Chapter 5: Wu

* * *

The demon charged, bladed arm back and ready to strike.

The most amazing thing happened next. On the boy's forehead, a third eye opened.

"No," Jessie whispered. "It can't be."

He angled his open palm at the charging demon, and then with a small whoosh of wind, the thing was blown to pieces.

"Sanjiyan"

Neither noticed the second demon creeping up behind Jessie until it was too late. The demon's blade arm slashed, putting a hole through Jessie's stomach. Her eyes widened, along with the Sanjiyan's.

"K'so" he cursed. The demon pulled his arm out of Jessie, and she fell to the ground, eyes void of life. "CHIKUSO!!"

What could have been a twisted smirk flashed onto the demon's face before it was blown to pieces. The Sanjiyan ran over to Jessie, and knew immediately that if he didn't do something, she would die. "K'soI didn't want anyone to be hurt"

He placed his hands over her breast and muttered something in the ancient language of the Sanjiyan Unkara, and a white mist streamed out of Jessie's body and into the boy's.

The mist was her soul.

Slowly, very slowly, Jessie's eyes opened. She let out a small groan. "What I wouldn't give for a bottle of Asprin right now"

"Typical, since I just saved you from death."

Jessie tried to sit up, but a flash of iron-hot pain stabbed at her stomach and she lay down.

"The pain should be gone soon. It takes a short while for your body to become used to immortality."

Jessie opened her eyes, not quite comprehending. The strange boy was sitting next to her, and she realized that she was still in that alley. "Who are you? And why are you real?"

He blinked. Then awareness dawned on him. "How did you know I am a Sanjiyan Unkara?"

"Read it," she hissed, sitting up again. He shrugged. "Why did you say I was immortal?"

"You are," he said matter-of-factly. "You are no longer among the mortal. You are my Wu."

Jessie gasped.

"Wu"
