Part 2/ Chapter 4

Battle with a master

Kirin couldn't believe the words that came from his Grandfather's spirit, defeating him in battle, He was just asking to be killed a second time. Kirin cocked his head and cracked his shoulders, relaxing his Soul Edge on his shoulder. James smiled and held up his ghastly blade.

"Tell me Child, notice anything strange about this sword?"

Kirin looked closely at the sword, it had an eye just like Soul Edge, it had flesh like Soul Edge, and is was made of silver like Soul Edge, but how did they both have those same designs? Kirin thought for a while, then it hit him.

"It...it can't be."

"It is...this blade is also the Soul Edge."

Kirin backed away, it couldn't be possible for the existence of two Soul Edges, was it even possible, the mighty blade was created by the fire god, but why would he make two?

"If you are wondering why there is more then one Soul Edge, I will tell you a little history on it. When Kirin created the mighty Soul Edge, he had power that surpassed the other gods, they were furious, so they banished Kirin to his own temple, sealing him to the wall of ashes. Worried of his precious weapon that thrived on blood, he spread its power into thirty-six different weapons and spread them across the Lylat system, but then they were found. It took over three thousand years to find them, but all of Corneria couldn't find your Soul Edge and or my Soul Edge, now those Weapons are locked down inside a security base, never to be used by anyone willing to wreak destruction, but you can continue to feed the blade, I am cursed to be stuck with the Soul Edge. Now enough talk, I want to see how long you last before I send you straight to hell."

Kirin lunged at James, His Soul Edge high above his shoulders, but was thrown in back of the Spirit, his back struck the wing of his Arwing, his assault attack was countered.

Kirin pushed himself up, trying to resist the pain, and looked at the Spirit of James.

"Damn, your quick for a dead person."

Kirin grasped his Soul Edge, waiting for James to attack, but he just stood there, patient and calm, his Soul Edge still radiating the spirits of which he killed, their screams echoed the forest with their banshee voices, but still Kirin and James stared at each other with patient and calm faces.

"Come now Child, sooner or later you're going to strike back sometime."

James's words were true, he wasn't going to strike, just make sure that every strike Kirin threw at him was a complete failure, Kirin just went for the moment to attack, and cut a little part of the vest James had been wearing, James reeled away from Kirin, he held his essence leaking cut. Kirin was amazed that he actually struck his spirit Grandfather, but was going to be in great danger, James stood up, his black sunglasses hid the anger from his eyes, James let out a hard roar, cracking his spiritual bones, Kirin just looked terrified, wondering what James was going to do. James grasped his Soul Edge tightly, he was going to finally start striking back at Kirin: THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING!

Kirin could barely block James's strikes, they were fast slashes, Kirin was getting struck quickly, Then James launched his foot forward, kicking Kirin straight into the wing again.

"I should warn you, when I first got the Soul Edge, I learned many of its techniques, and in death I learned the rest. I am a descendent of Soul Edge, but also a master of its power!"

Kirin quickly rolled out of the way of another slash from the Soul Edge, slicing the left wing off the Arwing. Kirin was furious, he stomped his foot into the ground, making a small crater.

"YOU SPIRITUAL BASTARD! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSE TO GET HOME? DO YOU KNOW HOW PISSED I AM NOW THAT I HAVE TO REPAIR THIS GOD DAMN SHIP?"

"Remember what I said, I want to see how long you last before I send you to hell, and so I plan to see you die at my feet!"

Katrina sat away from the two swordsmen, she was afraid, her tears ran down her face, she was scared that Kirin might die, but she still had enough belief that Kirin will survive.

Kirin was filled with anger, he grasped his Soul so tight that he started to bend the handle with finger marks, the Eye's pupil became dot sized, it was feeling strength that it welcomed into its flesh filled steel. James eyed the Soul Edge as it became stronger in energy.

"Where is he getting all this energy, I never seen such power surging from a descendent of Soul Edge."

James swallowed, Kirin held his Soul Edge in one paw, then he zoomed at James, thrashing him into the trees, but Kirin kept running, plowing James through wood and rock, then he stopped, watching James fly away from him, landing hard on the ground. James tilted his head to look at Kirin, essence flowing down from his mouth.

"Damn child, where did you learn all that?"

"Self taught, now I am going to ask you once more, give me the goddamn bone!"

James stood up, he just swayed, cracking his bones again, he relaxed his Soul Edge on his shoulder, smiling but still in pain.

"I'm not defeated yet."

Kirin's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe that he still was going to fight him, James was a powerful spirit, Kirin didn't have the strength to fight back.

"What the hell is up with this vulpine? I plowed him through boulders and trees but he still isn't going down!"

Kirin grasped his Soul Edge again, knowing the battle was going to be longer then he expected, James held his Soul Edge close to his chest, Kirin was scared but then he looked closely at his Grandfathers hand: it was shaking in pain!

"That's it! I just have to attack him with the hardest attacks I can throw at him and I'll defeat him, but I'm almost out of energy to fight, so I have to make every slash count!"

Kirin took a step closer with every passing minute, James was trying to maintain his balance, trying to resist the pain, but with every step Kirin took, his pain grew even more painful.

"Before I send you back to the spirit world, how did you die anyway?"

James looked down with sadness, he sighed, his stuck his Soul Edge into the ground for support.

"I killed the Ninety-eighth descendent of Soul Edge, apparently he wanted the power back, crazed for it, he lusted for it, but I wouldn't give it to him, and so he drugged one of my drinks one day, When he told me about this, I went after him and tore out his eyes with my bare paws, but that didn't help the fact that I was poisoned, that is how I died, poisoning from another Descendent, now I want to know your name."

"Wow that has to suck."

"I like to know the name of the Hundredth descendent please."

"Oh, it's Kirin."

"Well now I know the name of my grandson."

Kirin shook his head, he knew how his grandfather died now, but how would his father feel about this, Kirin didn't have the time to think all this through, he had to defeat James in combat in order to get the bone. James knew he was going to be defeated, he rushed forward at Kirin, about to strike him.

"Wait for it…"

James brought his Soul Edge upward, about to swing it downward at Kirin.

"NOW!"

Kirin swung his Soul Edge up, smacking the Soul Edge away from him then stabbed James through the chest. His Sunglasses fell off his face and broke on the ground, essence dripped from his eyes.

"Kirin…"

Kirin looked at his disappearing grandfather, Kirin couldn't believe what he had done, a tear rolled down his face.

"Don't tell fox, I already hurt him enough."

And with his last words, James disappeared from sight, a bone landed at Kirin's feet, one of James's bones. Kirin fell to his knees, he held the bone close to his chest, tears rolling down his face.

"I'm sorry grandpa."

Katrina followed the destruction, looking at Kirin while he cried. She slowly walked toward Kirin, holding the bone.

"Kirin?"

Kirin stood up and quickly held Katrina close to him, Katrina didn't know what was happening, Kirin just held her close.

"Promise me Katrina…"

"Promise what?"

"Promise that you'll never leave my side again, I've seen to many die by my paw, some dying by others because of me."

Kirin cried on Katrina's shoulder, he killed so many in the past, but he didn't want to kill his grandfather with the Soul Edge, because when the Soul Edge kills something already dead, they don't return to the spirit world, they are killed and sent to hell.

Katrina started to lower herself and Kirin to their knees, rubbing his back, giving him a kiss on his cheek.

"I don't know if I can Kirin."

Kirin lifted Katrina in his arms and returned to the Arwing, repairing the damages from the battle, Kirin started up the Arwing and sent it into Auto pilot, giving the coordinates to The temple of Kirin.

"Please promise me that Katrina."

Katrina and Kirin lied on the floor next to each other, Katrina slid closer to Kirin, placing her arm on his chest and her paw on his face, she kissed him, and then rested her head on him.

"I promise Kirin."

And with those words, Kirin pulled Katrina close to him, he rubbed his face against her shoulder, she stroked his hair, it was long but it was fun to run her fingers through it, then the two were at it Again, Kirin was on top, Katrina on the bottom, making out on the floorinside the new Arwing.

"How many hours?"

"About ten hours, just enough time."

Katrina giggled at the comedy bliss that Kirin spoke, somehow his voice made anything funny to her, sexy to her, and lustful to her.

"Maybe which should do this on the bunk bed?"

"Good idea."

Kirin lifted Katrina in his arms, placing her on the bottom bunk, lying on top of her, she pulled him down to her, her clothes were lying on the floor.

"How come you never take off you pants?"

"So I don't make unwanted pregnancies."

Katrina just smiled and rolled Kirin over onto the bed, she lied on top of him, massaging his back with her breasts, humping him to do so, Kirin loved this, Katrina knew all the right spots to get him calm and ready. Kirin couldn't hold anything back anymore, he turned and planted his lips to hers, holding her close, Katrina wrapped her legs around Kirin's waist, she wrapped her arms around him, kissing him, his chest, his stomach, and his neck. Kirin started to kiss the between of her Breasts, she arched forward, her head looking up, awing, she loved it when Kirin did this, soon he slowly made his way down to her nipples, licking them, now she just screamed in pleasure, she knew he was tasting her. Kirin planted his lips around her left nipple, Katrina just giggled and lied on the bed, Kirin still sucking away at her.

"Tell me Kirin, were you always this good?"

Kirin removed his lips from her nipple and slowly moved upward, smiling.

"Not good…"

Katrina just moved her head to the side, confused.

"I'm better."

Katrina smiled again, she licked his left ear, pulling him closer to her body, his heart was beating quickly, he thought it would pop, but he just held her close, tears running down his face, this caught Katrina's attention.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Kirin hugged Katrina, she just held him close, kissing his neck, then she fell asleep in his embrace, but Kirin didn't fall asleep, he was sad, feeling like he was a murderer.

"I'm sorry grandpa."
