Okay, I said it's a Romance/Action so here's some love and stuff—just a little. Hopefully u like this crap. Oh yeah and Loki is ancient mythology name. He was a trickster and deity of wildfire. He caused the Ragnarok—or the Norse mythology's view of the end of the world. I chose him because he goes with the story. You'll see………

Chapter 4

Mura Shadow led them to the doorway to the Ryu land, which lay just a little past the forest. Similar to the doors, which lead to the demon world, it had a barrier but Koenma gave Mura the key. They were supposed to open the door and close it behind them. If anything went wrong the key was to be destroyed.

Rei, being a loner felt uncomfortable around the buoyant girls. Kumiko was polite to a fault and Aisu Kettou was too wild, becoming easily angered at little things like the flavor of ice cream you liked, or when Rei had sung a song just a little off-key. Rei grabbed her sketchpad from her pack and headed outside. She wanted to speak to this 'Mura Shadow' and see what he was all about. Masamune didn't truly interest her but he was the first one she met when she stepped outside.

By his leg was the creature Genii. He began plucking the guitar, "Hey," he said. His voice was friendly which of course Rei didn't like. But still she nodded and took a seat next to him on the log, which Masa had his back on. "You're name's Rei right? I'm Masa."

She stared at him. His face has no blemishes, marks, bruises or cuts, thought Rei, he plays his guitar with a stupid smile on his face, and his eyes are not haunted by restless souls, he shows no sign of having killed anything other than bugs. This guy's no fighter, he's just a poser.' "Why are you going after Loki? You don't look like a fighter." Rei was distrustful by nature but even more wary when in the presence of men. After what happened between her mother and the demon her who would blame her.

Masa stared up at her. "Ladies first," he said plainly.

She shook her head. "Never mind," she growled annoyingly. "Where is Mura?"

"Who Shadow? He's out scouting for demons that surround this area." Masa laughed. "This is a funny group, a ½ demon, an ice wolf demon, a shadow apparition, and a detective."

Rei was about to ask how he found out she was only a half but she thought better than to let her mouth run off and spill something that she would rather not be said. "Who do you think you are?" the young woman asked with glaring eyes.

Masa stared blankly as if shocked by the question then just smiled. "I'm a wanderer, that's all."

Rei determined Masa was an idiot, and someone she should stay away from. She wanted to find Mura who was probably the most like her, cursing her human nature and the need of communication. The sun was setting and sky was stained with crimson and violet hues, letting the party know that night was approaching. As a cold wind blew Rei shivered, angered at herself for wearing a thin tank top. Masa sat down his guitar and whipped off his poncho wrapping it around Rei. He began to rub her arms. Rei jerked from the unwelcome contact, she was shocked by the gesture and wanted to get away.

Their eyes met for an instant. Masa released her, slowly, reluctantly. Turning her eyes to her pale fingers the fire/shadow half-breed held back her irritated comments. The air about the camp grew thick with impending warfare. The girl turned to look at Masamune.

Masa's eyes narrowed and Rei saw a more focused look come across his face. "What's wrong?" she asked, although she already knew the answer.

"Everything,"

A black figure came flying from the surrounding woods. He hit the ground the flipped onto his feet, Mura. He stared off into the woods as Aisu and Kumiko came from the tent. "Demons… forest demons…lots of them." He said with a collected timbre.

The creatures attacked like a wave of bees one after another running from the forest into the clearing. They resembled small trees faces and legs; their arms were large branches. Kumiko easily began swinging her arm. With one hit the creatures screamed and faded into shadow. The same happened with Aisu and her katana. "These guys aren't very strong."

Masa sent Genii forward. Genii gave off several barks and the creatures stopped and fled. Masa eyes narrowed again. But still the battle waged on. Of all in the group Rei had trouble; the demons circled the girl and began to pounce on her again and again one after another. Masa began to run towards her when he was tackled by several of the demons. Fate must have been on her side for Mura surged forward and saved the teen from much pain. Running forward his took out a flaming sword and sliced the creatures. Holding out his index finger Shadow sent a wave several tiny bullets of light both moves easily killed the creatures.

"Wow a spirit sword and a spirit gun." Breathed as she gazed at the boy who saved her. But more creatures were coming and Rei barely had time to marvel at Mura. She jumped up, "Everybody stand by me!" The team rolled back towards Rei. Said girl held up her hand and snapped her fingers sending a number of sparks hurtling out in a circle. The ring spun killing more and more creatures until the weak demons were ash.

The team began to compliment Rei when she silenced them. "Look, don't thank me, I just killed those weak things. Thank Murasame, he saved me." Stealing a quick glimpse at he boy she saw Mura smile and bow.

Masa simply turned, annoyed by his teammate's performance. "OH NO! My baby is hurt!" He cried. Everyone turned shocked watching as he slid to the floor. His guitar was riddled with black marks; singes from Rei's fire move. He opened his guitar case and slowly laid his guitar down. Genii let out a howl and Masa fell back with his hands behind his head. "Oh well, I'll get another one when we beat Loki," the boy came out of the melodrama.

"If, we beat Loki," said Kumiko. "This fight is just a silly quarrel compared to Loki. He's an s-class demon." The blunt truth brought fear to the group.
