Hiromi sat in a field of grass looking down at the ground. Tears trailed down her cheeks steadily as she cried. She was thinking of her past, her family. She had been raised in a village, not to big, not to small. Her family were close with their neighbors as well as she was with their children. Jin was one of them. One day a demon came to their village in search of her family's sword and staff, her only heirs. She fought to keep them safe, and her family alive. Jin did the same for his. The staff was a crystal staff that controlled lightning and was powerful, but contained dark spirits as well. The sword, Gaiten, was her dead brother's sword. She was very protective about it because she had loved her brother very much. The demon burned the whole village down, but spared Hiromi and Jin. He took Jin with him and had left Hiromi alone. She was now searching for her long lost friend and also searching for the demon who had taken her life, her past and tore it apart.

Jin was in the demons house, leaning against a wooden pole. The door was slid open by a green frog like thing, "Jin, Master Mihana would like to speak to you." Jin looked back at the thing and replied, "Tell him I'm busy." The frog like thing stepped back at Jin's voice, but did not give up. "Master will not be pleased Jin.." Jin turned around and pushed him aside and walked to Mihana's room. "What do you want now?" Mihana got up and gestured him to sit down. "Don't tell me you were thinking about that girl again. Forget about her, she's gone. Dead, and never coming back." Jin sat down and glared at him, "How do you know she's dead? We made a promise that we would find each other no matter what, even if we were dead. Our spirits would come for each other!" Jin was breathing heavily, as Mihana just laughed. "Of course Jin, that silly little promise of yours is likely to always be part of you, so I won't try and talk you out of it."
Jin looked down and said quietly to himself, "He may think its silly, but I will come for you Hiromi."

Hiromi got up and wiped her tears away with her sleeve. She wore a black and silver kimono with diamonds on her sleeve borders. Her sword and staff banged against her legs as she walked towards the entrance of the forest, looking back at the sun setting slowly. Her brown hair blew in the wind like it was dancing. She closed her hazel eyes and then opened them once more. 'Where ever you are Jin...I'll come for you no matter what.'

Cotinued...

Jin stepped out of Mihana's room as Hino,the frog demon, trailed behind him. "Jin,you know that she's not coming back.You killed her yourself." Jin turned to face Hino and said,"I didn't kill her!" He turned back to face an open field and thought,'At keast I don't think I did.' Aiko,Jin's little sister, came running towards Jin shouting,"Jin!Jin! I'm bored,lets go out and do something." She was 15 years of age,but sometimes acted as though she were 5. "Sorry Aiko,maybe another time.I don't really feel like doing anything right now." Aiko looked at his face and saw that he was upset,but didn't say anything. "Ok then,maybe later." She walked off towards her room,and entered quietly. She opened a drawer.and took out a picture that was wrinkled and torn in places. It showed Hiromi and Jin hugging Aiko,both of them smiling down at her. Aiko smiled thinking of the past,then a tear dropped onto the wodden floor. "Why did you have to go Hiromi...Me and Jin are so lonely without you.." She whispered every word as quietly as she could so Mihana wouldn't hear her. Mihana hated Hiromi because she had refused to join his side,and he said that Jin killed her. She didn't believe him,but nonetheless,didn't bring it up in front of Jin. A knock came on her door."Aiko,come out now!" "Okay!" Aiko wiped away any trace of tears and went out.

"Hiromi!Where are you?Hiromi!" Miki was in the air,looking for Hiromi.She was a wind demon with lavender eyes that turned a violet when she was mad. She dislike weak humans,but Hiromi was more of a demon because of her power. "I'm here Miki." Hiromi shouted up at Miki from a tree.
