Gods

Tasuki kicked frustratedly at the hot sand. "Where am I? Why am I so silly with maps?" Tasuki yelled up to the sky. Sunlight bathed down his face, highlighting his features. He had been staring at the map for some while as he guessed that he had made a slight boo-boo back at the Shonai Village. He continued looking around him, seeing the scarce vegetation at this area.

            Suddenly, he noticed shadows behind him. 'Hmmm…trying to ambush me? Heh! Not a chance!' Tasuki thought as he quickened his pace. He observed the shadows and realized that they move with grace and swiftness, even silence. He could not even hear them behind him. It was as if only the shadows gave them away.

'They sure are dumb in not hiding themselves well.' Tasuki wondered at their stupidity as he stopped walking and sighed loudly for them to hear.

"If you want to fight, then, damn, come outright, and fight me!" Tasuki whirled around to face them. The two men grinned and stared at each other.

Tasuki growled as they began laughing. He looked from one to the other. One had shoulder length white hair while the other had bluish-green hair that cascaded down his back to end at his hip.

"Do you know who we are? We are the great gods, Seiryuu and Genbu!"  

Tasuki burst out laughing. Tears almost threatened to spill from his eyes from laughing so hard. "This is the best joke I have ever heard!" Tasuki wiped his eyes with his sleeves as he eyed them warily.

"Who are you really?" Tasuki asked them once more.

They stared at Tasuki coldly and repeated their answer. "We are who we are. Now, prepare to die, Flame of Power."

"Flame of power? WHAT YOU-" Tasuki was cut off as he saw a huge burst of power heading straight at him.

"HELL! They are the gods but how come they look different! I remember Seiryuu was different." Tasuki drew out his fan as he avoided the burst of power. 'They really move fast.' Tasuki ducked a punch aimed at him and sent a blast of fire towards them.

"I must escape now…" Tasuki panted as he forced down air into his lungs. The fight had already lasted for 15 minutes. Tasuki concentrated on his powers and an aura of red is seen around him.

"Rekka Shinen!" Red, hot fire emerged out from his fan aimed at the two gods. Tasuki turned away and sprinted for his life, not caring about the two gods anymore. "What is going on, Suzaku, what is going on!" Tasuki said as he escaped…

The two gods looked after Tasuki's running figure and chuckled.

"He will never get away, we will have him soon or later, wait and see, Flame of Power, wait and see…" With that, they disappeared in a flash.

Nearby, a blue-haired woman stepped away from the trees. Her eyes twinkling with mischief, she muttered to herself, "So… that red-haired guy was the powerful one, I will play with him for a while."

She smiled and said calmly, "Oh wind, Oh wind, blow strong for me and bring me to the place I want." Suddenly, a strong wind blew and she was lifted up and away, heading after where the red-haired man went…
