The Silent Blades and the Demon Eye
Meanwhile. in a place far away. A dark room that is filled with blue-lit candles which stand all over the room, two figures appearing in-between the rows of blue. One man has long red hair, tied back, his front bangs sort of uneven, being the darkest of red. His blue eyes seem different to that of the normal people that live here, along with his red locks. The mans wears a black vest, exposing his masculine chest and perfect six pack, and long baggy black pants, and a scarf around his neck, which covers his mouth from everyone to see, two kodachis on his back and a black band around his right arm. The other man has very long dark blue hair; his front bangs covering his right eye, his other eye in sight showing it's brown color. He also doesn't wear a shirt, revealing his masculine chest, wearing a long, pale yellow jacket over his shoulders, and baggy greenish blue pants, a long katana to his side. Both their faces are serious, looking into the darkness at the area where the two biggest candles grow brightest. The two men bow down onto on knee, their eyes closed and facing the floor.
"We're here Lord Tenrai." The man with the blue hair speaks.
"What are your orders sir.?" The red haired man speaks next, both the men's tones being very low, but not commanding.
"You both know of the Lord Gohda that lives on the western side of the country am I correct?" The shadowed Tenrai asks, his voice being much deeper, and older, having a commanding tone to it.
The man with the blue hair nods a bit, "Yes. of course we do Lord Tenrai. But why is he important?"
Tenrai chuckles a few times, "Lord Gohda is not just a leader in one of the greatest armies in the country. but he also holds one important key I need. the Jewel of Virtue."
The man with blue hair looks up at the shadows, not being able to see the shaded figure fully, "Why is this jewel important my lord?"
"Daisuke. have you heard of the tale of the three Jewels of Power? The Jewel of Earth, the Jewel of Heaven, and the Jewel of Virtue. Giving the holder of all three jewels ultimate wisdom and power." Tenrai speaks again, Daisuke's head bowing in understanding.
The man with the red hair stands, his low calm voice being able to be heard even under his scarf, "Sounds like a waste of time to find such items when you already have some of the strongest warriors here..."
"You might say that Satoshi," Tenrai speaks again, "But if Gohda or anyone else is to retrieve the three jewels, then even we are no match, no matter how much power they have. I want you to find the Jewel of Virtue from Lord Gohda, you may kill him if you desire, but then there will be no enemies to use the power against later, so try to keep your slaughter to a minimum."
"What if refuses to tell Lord Tenrai?" Daisuke asks, rising to his feet beside Satoshi.
"Then bring his two daughters herem" Tenrai tells them, "From what I've heard, the oldest has returned to her home, so she will not be a problem either. He will tell when his daughters are in danger, trust me on that point."
"Of course my lord." Daisuke says.
"We shall do everything to retrieve the Jewel of Virtue for you." Satoshi also says. The two stay standing before taking a slight bow to their master's shadowed image once again, and disappear into the shadows from whence they came.
"Soon." The shadowed Tenrai holds up his hand, having one of the jewels in his hand. "Very soon. all power shall be mine."
***
Back at the temple, both Natasha and Natsumi sit upon the roof, getting drunk beyond all belief.
"You know. Natsumi."
"Yea Natasha?" Natsumi hiccups loudly as Natasha looks into the sky.
"I have. this really strange stone thingy." Natasha hiccups also as she continues to speak, "It's been making my pocket really warm ever since I got here." She puts her hand in her pocket, pulling out a clear gem about the size of a soft ball in her hand, the jewel glowing slightly and then dieing out, then starting again, going on and off like that.
"Wohhh. what is that.?" Natsumi pokes the jewel, and her eyes open wide, and pulls her hand away, "Natasha! Cool! You got the Jewel of Heaven! Now we got-" Natsumi hiccups, "Two of these stupid things!"
"Yay.?" Natasha puts the jewel back in her kimono, hiccupping again, and chugging down another bottle of soki, which makes the 3rd one for her and the 2nd for Natsumi. They go back to their usual chatter, forgetting that Natasha had one of the jewels, but of course she really gives less of a damn.
The two warriors of Tenrai come up the path towards the temple, talking to each other about little things.
"So how much do you think he'll pay us this time.?" Satoshi asks, not even bothering to look over at Daisuke.
"Do you care only about money Satoshi?" Daisuke asks, looking over to him with a raised brow.
"You just want it to impress women Daisuke." Satoshi says, his expression not changing.
"If I make enough money I can pay the monk in the graveyard to revive my mother. that's why I want it."
"You're such a weak heart when it comes to women. It's almost sickening."
"It's not like I'm alone when I spy on the women in the springs when they take their baths." Satoshi blushes under his scarf, but tries to hide it, knowing that Daisuke knows already. "You just need to get laid Satoshi, and then maybe you'd know why men are attracted to the other sex, unless you like men of course."
Satoshi hits Daisuke over the head, "Women are weaklings, they are meant to take care of our homes, cook our meals, and give birth to our children. there is no use for them other than that."
Daisuke rubs his head, smirking a bit to Satoshi, "You have no idea Satoshi. Just wait till you meet the girl of your dreams, then you're mind will change."
"Quiet man. We're here." Satoshi looks up towards the building through the bamboo thicket, seeing Natasha and Natsumi on the roof. "What the.?"
Daisuke comes up next to him, squinting a bit, "Looks to be servants or something. And I smell soki." Daisuke grins at Satoshi, Satoshi backing away a bit at the grin, "Maybe we could get you drunk and then you'll want one of those girls." Daisuke looks back again, "I like the one in the purple kimono."
Satoshi shakes his head, looking down at the ground with closed eyes, "You're to obsessed with women. we have a job to do you fool."
"Come on, it should be easy to get a free drink, and a babe. Just think Satoshi. Free. Drink."
Satoshi looks up, and stalls for a moment, "Lets just get the fucking jewels first." And he starts to walk into the building, Daisuke running after him.
As they enter the building, the guards stop them, "I'm sorry, but no one is aloud in the temple at this time of night."
"Tell that to my Katana." And Daisuke quickly draws his katana, slashing across and then upward, cutting the two men in half, the blood splashing onto the dragon statues that stand on the side of doorway, and then slashes backwards, taking off their heads, and sheathing there after. The dead bodies slump onto the ground, the top halves rolling down the stairs, along with the heads, making bouncing bloody trails down the steps.
"Nice starting line." Satoshi says in a low tone.
"Thank you!" Daisuke says happily, smiling like a little girl.
"I was being sarcastic." Satoshi hops over the dead bodies, heading inside, Daisuke following after.
More guards see the two men, "What the hell are those two men doing here!?" "Intruders in the temple!!" The two guards unsheathe their blades, charging for Satoshi and Daisuke.
"Allow me Daisuke." Satoshi says, starting to walk forward.
"After you." Daisuke tells him politely, stepping aside.
Satoshi draws his two Kodachis off of his back, closing his eyes for a moment, the men reach him, slashing down with their swords and he jumps over them, stabbing both blades into the back of their skulls, he rips out the sides, the tops of their heads hanging over the side of the parts that still are attached. He thrusts down at an inward angle, creating deep gashes into their bodies that go all the way through, till he reaches the center. He then turns around, leaving the kodachis still lodged in their backs, and switches hands, grabbing the bloody handles and brings them upward, cutting the two men in half, then sheathes them. The two halves fall onto the floor in a bloody pile of crap, Daisuke stepping back not wanting to get his shoes in the river of blood that lead from the carcasses.
"Bravo Satoshi, Bravo." Daisuke congratulates, clapping his hands together.
"Let us continue. they know we're here." The men keep walking around the long hallways, looking for Gohda and killing anyone in their way. Five men stand at the end of the hall, blocking any way of getting further.
"I think I'll let you do this, give them a surprise Daisuke." Satoshi tells him, leaning against a wall to watch.
Daisuke closes his eye, "I'll gladly." And he brushes the hair that covers his other eye, and disappears from thin air by the men; they look around scared and confused. "I'm right here." Daisuke is behind all five of the guards, and he brings his katana upward, and hands from under the ground, slimy green hands, dripping with skin and whatever else it is, and grab the five men, pulling them under into the ground, their screams and shrills filling the castle as they are dragged into the abyss below them. The chomping and horrid screams continue for about 5 minutes, till they are all cut short with the sound of ripping skin and breaking bones. A skull is spit up onto the floor, not a single piece of meat is left upon it, but what is left of the neck is still attached. The two continue their slaughter, not leaving one person they see left alive.
Meanwhile. in a place far away. A dark room that is filled with blue-lit candles which stand all over the room, two figures appearing in-between the rows of blue.
