Tenshi jumped to her feet and peered curiously through the trees at the cloaked woman standing before her. She was wearing a thick black cloak that must have been dreadfully hot and long leather gloves and boots. Practically all of her skin was covered except for the tip of her nose which stuck out slightly father than the hood could reach. Tenshi quickly wiped the tears from her face and walked forward slightly with her hand gripped firmly on the hilt of her katana. The woman angrily rolled her eyes and said more to herself than Tenshi "I don't have time for this..." She brushed by Tenshi and headed in the direction of the hut. Tenshi sighed and chased after the hurried woman, once Tenshi had caught up, she faced the woman and forcefully asked "Where are you going in such a hurry?" the woman frowned and said nonchalantly "I'm going to speak with Ojiisan...I take it you two have met, since I saw you outside his hut the other night..." Tenshi nodded and looked to the ground as she said "something terrible happened, I'm afraid you won't be able to speak with Ojiisan...ever." The woman pursed her lips and continued walking. After sometime of silence the woman finally spoke "I'm Kenmeri by the way...who are you?" Tenshi still looking at the ground; raised her gaze and said "I'm Tenshi, I've been living with Ojiisan all my life...ever since my family died..." Kenmeri shook her head and quietly muttered "I'm sorry to hear that" Tenshi gawked for a moment then waved her hand as she said "It's nothing, I never knew my family, I don't even no there names!" Tenshi tried to smile, but it must have looked more like a grimace because Kenmeri quickly looked away and fell silent once more. Once they had both cleared the woods Kenmeri looked back at Tenshi and asked "What exactly happened to Ojiisan?" Tenshi frowned upon hearing her words "He was murdered...I think..." Kenmeri furrowed her brow and slowed her pace slightly "how can you not be sure if he was murdered?" Tenshi thought for a moment 'could it have all been just a bad dream, maybe Ojiisan was waiting patiently for Tenshi back at the hut, maybe he had actually died, but he never could have risen from the dead that was absurd' but Tenshi remembered it all very clearly, She and Kenjutsu had found Ojiisan dead in his own home, a dagger drove deep into his heart, they had buried him, but he had come back, back from the grave, and he had a message for them both. Tenshi snapped back to reality and replied "I'm not sure...let's just hope I'm wrong..."
Tenshi and Kenmeri walked until the shrine came into view, then without warning Kenmeri set off at a run, kicking up dust behind her. Tenshi stumbled after her and peered into the hut, she looked for only a moment, it had all been true, there was Ojiisan, still hovering slightly above the floor, and across from him was a depressed Kenjutsu silently staring at Kenmeri. Kenmeri rushed up to Ojiisan, apparently not noticing that he was floating, she threateningly brandished a finger in his transparent face "I need them now Ojiisan...I can't wait any longer, there are to many of them, we have no defense...their our only hope!" Ojiisan slowly opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Kenmeri "Don't give me any of that 'I can only answer when asked the right question' crap, I know very well that you 'lost ones' just do that for the drama!" Ojiisan grinned and lifted a few feet from the floor of the shrine "If you need them so badly, then I'll let you be the one to tell them..." Kenmeri turned and looked towards Kenjutsu and Tenshi, slightly confused "You mean to tell me that this scrawny girl and this moron are the chosen ones?!" Kenjutsu scowled and quickly interrupted "who are you calling a moron?!" Kenmeri ignored Kenjutsu and turned back to Ojiisan waiting for an answer. Ojiisan laughed at her confusion and said "yes...they are the chosen two..." Kenmeri stomped her foot making a small cloud of dust rise from the floor. Ojiisan frowned and Turned facing Tenshi and Kenjutsu "I guess I should explain everything to you...you are both chosen ones, picked from birth to depart on a mission when humanity should need you the most, and it just so happens that Kenmeri is from the future, sent back in time to call upon the both of you, to ensure a future for future generations." Kenmeri scoffed and stepped up beside Ojiisan "What he's trying to tell you, without all the details, I might add, is that many hundreds of years ago there was a prophecy, that a half vampire and the son of a water spirit would come forth to destroy the forces of evil. All of the details were kinda fuzzy, so we don't know when or where the prophecy is supposed to take place, the only thing we can figure is that it will be when they are called upon by the oracle...and that would be me..." Tenshi frowned and turned to look at Kenjutsu "you're the son of a water spirit?" she said half mockingly. Kenjutsu looked towards Ojiisan "he just told me...after you ran off." Tenshi turned back towards Kenmeri and asked "how do you know it's us that you looking for?" Kenmeri turned towards Ojiisan and said "the prophecy that the watcher of the chosen would be raised up from the grave and summon the chosen ones...he was supposed to train you as well, but I guess I can take care of that once we return to my time." Kenjutsu turned an gawked at Kenmeri "You mean we're going into the future to fight off some vampires because some out of date prophecy says so?" Kenmeri scowled "more or less..."Tenshi thought for a moment about everything Ojiisan and Kenmeri had just said, finally after much consideration she happily shouted "well...lets get going then!"
