Chapter 4

Hisano versus the Stranger

The bizarre man charged at Hisano baring his sharp claws. Haruki got as far away from them as possible.

How is Hisano doing that? It looks like shes holding blue lightning!

Hisano was a lot faster then the attacker. He swiped at her several times with his claws and she would step to the side or jump back just in time. She hadnt gone on the offensive once and showed no sign of tiring.

Ive never seen people fight like this... Whats going on here?

Hisano finally swung the beam of blue light she held in her hand. It made a whir sound as it made contact with the red haired man. He pulled back just in time to avoid being cut in two, and was only cut a little. He made a horrible sound between a roar and a scream.

"Am too fast for you? C'mon I'm hardly trying!" Hisano mocked.

"Heh... is that so?"

Haruki noticed the man sneaking up on Hisano. He had even paler skin then the other man, but had yellow eyes and purple hair that went to his waist.

"Hisano, watch out!"

Too late. The man who had snuck up on her had grabbed her.

"I really hate to kill my own kind, but your getting in our way."

The man with claws got closer, ready to finish Hisano off. She couldn't break free.

As the man was about to strike, something happened.

"Spirit Gun! "

There was a sound like a cannon firing to Haruki's right. It came from about 20 yards into the woods.

A brillant white light shot from the trees in a huge blast. It hit the man about to kill Hisano and just barely missed Hisano. He was instantly incinerated. The man holding Hisano turned to look at the place where the blast had come from. It happened again.

"Spirit Gun! "

The white light hit the man holding Hisano this time, and once again it barely missed Hisano. Whoever was firing these had good aim.

Who is this new arrival? And is he friend or foe?
