Hi! How is everyone? I just saw Matrix Revolution. Everyone says it suck and the critic sank the movie, but I still think it's a great movie. My next movie to watch will be LOTR. I hope I'll see you guys in the theater.
Thanks for reading my story. Please give me a review. Oh, and if you're a writer, please make a note of that. I wish to review your work back. Thanks again!
Lover and Enemy

In a small wooden hut outside the village lives a boy names Miroku. Miroku wakes up every morning before the sun rises and runs to the top of the mountains to practice martial art. He has very high standard for himself and never goes easy on his training.
"It's time to learn to write and chant spell." The master tells Miroku.
Miroku runs up to his master and says, "yes, my master." Miroku memorizes how to write and chant all the spells perfectly.
The master nods with approval and praises, "you did a good job, young one."
"I will practice writing them one more time." Miroku takes out another piece of paper and write all the spells again.
"Miroku. All the youngsters in the village like you and want to play with you. Why don't you go and spend some time with them? You can't work so hard all the time." His master says kindly.
"They like me because I can protect them from demons and monsters. If I goof off my training, I can't protect them anymore. I can't disappoint them by going easy on myself. One day, I'm going to kill all the demons." Miroku says as he keeps on practicing.
"Sometimes killing isn't the answer." The master says.
"Demons killed my parents. It's my duty to avenge my parent's life."
"You're such a brilliant child. I don't want to see you live a life of hatred and vengeance."
"Worry not about me for I choose my own path. I won't let another child lose their parents to the demons. That's what I believe in; and that's the life I'll lead."
The master sighs. He let Miroku continues practicing and leaves the room.

"Miroku, is that really you?" A man asks as Miroku walks pass him on the street.
"I'm sorry. I don't seem to remember you." Miroku says.
"My name is Akuno. I'm your father's friend. It's no wonder you don't remember me. The last time we met you were only a baby. You look just like your father, my son."
"A lot of people tell me that."
"I heard you follow your father's footsteps to be a demon hunter. You made quite a name for yourself, too."
"Fame has no meaning to me. All I want is to help those in need."
"You're such an honorable young man. Your father will be so proud of you. Why don't you come to my mansion? Let my servants make you dinner."
"No, thanks. Water demons are hunting the fishermen down at the river. I'm going to help them."
"Oh, don't worry about them! They are only fishermen. How much are they paying you? I can double it."
"All lives are precious, be they fishermen or farmers. My skill is for helping people, not making money. Excuse me." Miroku says; he really dislike Akuno.
Akuno watches madly as Miroku walks away. The rich man mutters, "foolish boy, you're as stupid as your father."
A demon walks up to Akuno. Akuno asks, "that boy Miroku isn't going to cause us trouble, is he?"
The demon says, "don't worry. You paid us to get rid of the fishermen. We'll kill anyone who stand in our way. That boy will be dead by sunset."
"Good." Akuno says.
^__^ ^__^ ^__^ g__g;;;
Miroku gets to the riverbank and he can already sense the demons. He jumps into the river and swims to the bottom. The demons see him coming and attack him. Miroku shows no fear. He counterattacks the demons with all his might.
The demons punch Miroku and pulls onto his neck. Miroku can't breath. He keeps struggling but the demons are very strong. Miroku is dying, yet he won't give up. He waves his staff and pokes the demon between its eyes.
The demon screams in pain and let Miroku go. He swims to the top and catch a breath. Another demon pulls his leg and drags him back under the sea. In the chaos Miroku looses his staff; he begins to lose his strength when the fishermen all swim down and help him.
"Minna." Miroku says. One of the fishermen gives his the staff. Miroku fights off all the demons with the help of the fishermen. They help Miroku back to shore and thank him, "you're amazing!"
"Couldn't have done it without you all." Miroku thanks them back.
Not too far away, Akuno is hiding behind a rock, looking madly at Miroku. "How dare that boy killed my demons and ruins my plan!" the rich man screams.
"Worry not, Akuno. It's new moon tonight. We'll capture Inu-Yasha, then we can gain the power of Sesshumaru." Akuno's demon partner tells him.
The fishermen invite Miroku to dinner. The whole village gathers around the fire to sing and dance while eating roasted fish. Miroku sits there and eats quietly. One of the elders asks, "Why aren't you dancing with them?"
"I was never much into festivities." Miroku continues eating.
"You have such an old soul for your age. I bet you never smile."
"My smile left with my parents when they leave this world."
"So sorry to hear that."
"Some people are destined to not smile their whole life. Thank for the your hospitality, wish one. It is time for me to bid my farwell." Miroku stands up and leaves.
The elder says goodbye, "I hope you will find something to bring you back your smile."
Miroku is walking toward town when he senses demons in the forest. The demon hunter goes to check it out.

Inu-Yasha, a young demon, is running away from a bunch of powerful monsters. He looks at the dusking sky and says, "damn it!"
It's new moon. Inu-Yasha is a half demon and every month, at the night of the new moon, Inu-Yasha turns back into a human. Tonight is the new moon.
"Stop running, it's futile. You can't escape us in your human form!" The monsters shout.
"I will die before I let you use me to get to Sesshumaru!" The young demon shouts. Sesshumaru is Inu-Yasha's older brother. He is also the most powerful demon on Earth. There is nothing Sesshumaru can't do and all the evil creatures want Sesshumaru to get something for them. Yet, no one can ever get Sesshumaru to do anything.
The only thing that matters to Sesshumaru is Inu-Yasha. The monsters figure if they capture Inu-Yasha, Sesshumaru will do what they say. Inu-Yasha is vulnerable in human form and he is an easy pray for them.
