This Is What They Said
Chapter 4:
"Did you bring her back?" asked Sakyo waitng rather impatiently near the door.
"It was simple," said Karasu walking out of the shadows.
"So where is she? Shouldn't she be here?" inquired Sakyo getting frustrated.
"She is resting," said Bui out of nowhere standing at the door leading to Ericka's room.- They will force her to fight someway and she will be forever tormented as I am- Bui thought looking into the shadows with a rather solem expression.
Inside of her room Ericka did not know what was going on for she was deep in sleep, or she was until she felt a sharp pang of pain at the nape of her neck. –Oww that hurts- Ericka thought as she sat up in the bed rubbing the nape of her neck. –Now how did I get here? – she asked herself looking around the room .-Oh I remember now! I was in the forest the demons surrounded me , and Karasu was there, and ...Oh yeah I'm a Hanyou- she thought to herself glumly. Getting up she headed towards the door then stopped dead in her tracks when she heard voices from just beyond the door. Without even trying she heard what they were saying.
"So how exactly did you find out about the girl, Toguro?" asked a man who's voice she had never heard.
"That was the simple part. There are not that many psychic demons left in existents. Another thing is that untrained psychic demons such as the girl emit energy waves that can reach very far distances. This makes tracking them very easy. As for how I found out about her family, that is a bit more complicated. I had fought her grandfather in the Dark Tournament I had won in and he proved to be a strong opponent. So I kept track of his family hoping to come across an even stronger opponent. And well it paid off for this girl contains an immense amount of Spirit Energy and she also has a special psychic demon feature as rare as the tear gems that few ice demon cry. She has pure energy which is different from life and spirit energy. It is usually used to heal but when trained properly it can be used to give the wielder more power which would be a great thrill in battle...oh and by the way you can come out now," said Toguro almost laughingly.
Timidly coming out of the room Ericka saw that there were 4 people in the room. Karasu who was barely visible in the shadows, a young man in a business suit , a creepy looking guy that had long wavy grayish hair, who appeared to be crawling on a bigger guys shoulder. The bigger guy had sunglasses on and had lots of muscle, and barely noticeable because he was so quiet was a warrior looking fellow who was tall and wore an old fashioned suit of armor.-Weird fellows, mental note to stay away from mister creepy crawly- Ericka thought as she looked around the room.
"Uh...um where am I and why am I here?" said Ericka not exactly scared but just a bit overwhelmed.
"How rude of us I am Sakyo , the man with the armor is Bui, and I believe you've met Karasu, "Sakyo said pausing to look at the two other men, "The other two are the Toguro brothers, as for why you are here...that would be because of your power...I was generous enough to offer you a job as an assassin in my services, which you will except without arguments of any kind or pay the price which would be having the Toguro's kill your family. I believe that is enough informarion for now. Oh and this is all in payment for the serivces Karasu and Bui provided you in the forest."
"What services!" Ericka said perplexed and a bit scared now.
"Well they saved you didn't they?" said the smaller of the Toguro brothers in a creepy laughing voice," and to Sakyo that counts as service. So now you owe us."
"I think we'll be going now," said the Bigger of the brothers walking down the hall.
"It's time for training already?" asked Sakyo. The only reply he got was a slight nod from the bigger of the Toguro's. "Well then why don't you go train with them, as I;m sure you still have lots to learn about your powers and such. I can't have you dying on the job now can I?" As he said this Sakyo walked in the opposite direction and left Ericka there stunned.
