Heart of a Demon

Chapter Two: The Blue Devil

"When the story of Destiny is told, it will be written in blood..."

After a few hours, Kenshin and company had found a nice resting place near a lake. It was already dark and the night was cold. But it wasn't quiet.

Yahiko: "Demon hunters are not ugly!"

Kaoru: "Who are you calling ugly, little?"

Yahiko: "Little?"

This argument had been going for hours now. Kenshin watched leaning his back against a tree, amused as he heard them yell and insult each other. He sweatdropped. Kaoru was mad at Yahiko, and started chasing him around. Yahiko jumped over Kenshin's legs successfully, but Kaoru tripped and her face fell flat on the ground. 'Humiliating…'

Kenshin: "Are you all right girl?"

Kaoru: "Yeah, I'm okay… girl?"
Kenshin: "What?"
Kaoru: "I have a name you know! And I'm not a girl! I'm a woman!"

Kenshin: "So? Who cares?"

Kaoru glared at him. She sat down and was about to hit him for being so mean, but Yahiko said the magic words.

Yahiko: "You're right. We haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Yahiko Miouyin, and I'm 10 years old, and he's Kenshin Himura. How old are you Kenshin?"

Kenshin: "…"

Yahiko: "Sorry…"

Kaoru: "Well, I'm glad someone has manners here. I'm Kaoru Kamiya and I'm 17 years old"

Yahiko: "Kamiya? I've heard that before…"
Kaoru: "You probably know that the Kamiya family killed a thousand demons in one night! That's where you heard it, everyone knows!"

Kenshin: "I didn't."
Yahiko: "Oh! A Kamiya wanted to kill you, right Kenshin?"

Kenshin: "You're right! I remember I easily defeated him."

Kaoru: "That's impossible! We have never failed one of our assignments!"

Kenshin: "You failed killing me."

Yahiko: "Oh stop it you two!"

Kaoru: "No one tells me what to do!"

Kenshin: "Are you sure?"

Kaoru: "I am sure!"

Yahiko: "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Kenshin: "Really sure?"

Kaoru: "YES!"

Kenshin: "Roll over!"

Kaoru: "Huh?"

Yahiko: "I'm hungry!"

Kenshin: "Roll over!"

Yahiko: "KENSHIN!"

Kenshin: "What?"

Yahiko: "I'm hungry!"

Kenshin nodded and stood up. A few minutes later, he brought some fish and mushrooms. Kaoru watched amazed as Yahiko devoured his food, and slowly ate hers. Kenshin ate calmly. However, all of them stopped eating after hearing someone scream. Kenshin placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Yahiko grabbed a stick and Kaoru her own sword.

Kenshin: "You stay here and protect Kaoru."

Kaoru: "Hey, I can protect myself thank you!"

He rolled his eyes. As he walked towards the forest, a girl about Kaoru's age came out between some trees. She had shoulder length royal blue hair and crystal blue eyes. She had a little blue stone in the middle of her forehead. She was wearing a strange outfit: a long sleeved dark blue shirt with some symbols in black, and an ankle length black skirt, with black boots. 'Definitely not normal…' Kenshin thought.

Girl: "Please help, there's something after me"

Kenshin: 'Why do I keep helping people I don't even know?' "Alright, come with me"

Kaoru: "Who's that girl Kenshin?"

Kenshin: "I don't know. She says there's something following her"

Girl: "A demon!"

Kaoru: "Hah! That's a job for me then!"

As in a cue, a weasel demon jumped over Kaoru and pinned her to the ground. The heavy demon was lifted from her body as Kenshin grabbed it by the tail and threw it against a tree. Then he withdrew his sword and glared at it before stabbing the sword in its heart. The demon died instantly. Kenshin went over Kaoru and scanned her for any wounds, then realized what he was doing and looked away. 'What am I doing worrying about her?'

The strange girl fainted, but luckily Yahiko was near and grabbed her before she hit the ground, though he fell to the ground. A few minutes later, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

Kaoru: "You don't have to worry now, the demon's dead."

Girl: "I don't know how to thank you."

Yahiko: 'What's your name?"

Girl: "I'm Lyhn"

Kenshin: "What are you doing around here?"

Lyhn: "I got separated from my group and now I'm lost."

Kaoru: "If you want to, you can stick with us!"

Kaoru received a glare from Kenshin.

Lyhn: "Thank you."

Kaoru: "It's nothing. I'm Kaoru, and these two are my servants Yahiko and Kenshin. (Me: O.O)"

Kenshin and Yahiko glared at her. They returned to their resting place. Kaoru heard a faint sound. It was some kind of a ringing. 'Ringing in the middle of the forest?'

Kaoru: "Kenshin, do you hear that?"

Kenshin: "Yes… I'll go check it out. You stay here."

Yahiko: "Wait for me!"

Kaoru and Lyhn sat on the ground; Kaoru firmly holding her sword. She noticed Lyhn staring at her strangely.

Kaoru: "Is there something wrong Lyhn?"

Lyhn: "…"

Kaoru: "Lyhn?"

The stone in Lyhn's forehead started shining brightly. Her eyes went a solid blue.

Lyhn: "Do you know you are the chosen one?"
Kaoru: "Oh not you too!"

Lyhn: "You have incredible strength Kaoru. Imagine what you could do"

Kaoru: "Listen, I don't know who told you that, but there is no chosen one. Even if there is one, it's not me. God, what a little mark can do…"

Lyhn: "Kaoru, you have the power to destroy the world."

Kaoru: "Huh?"
Lyhn: 'However, if he kills you, he will take over."

Kaoru: "What! Have you lost it? Who is HE? What are you talking about?"

Lyhn: "You have to kill him."

Kaoru: "You are totally freaking me out now."

Lyhn: "Don't be scared."

Kaoru: "I'm not… scared."

Lyhn: "I see the future Kaoru."

Kaoru: "R-really?"

Lyhn: "I can show you…"

Lyhn looked straightly at Kaoru's eyes. She felt dizzy, and everything went black…

Kenshin and Yahiko were going back to where the girls were. They followed the noise but in the end found nothing.

Yahiko: "What a false alarm!"

However, Kenshin did not answer. He was not feeling good. A voice spoke to him.

'Go back and kill the girl. She will not let you take over both the human and underworld. Kill her and you will be once again the powerful demon prince you once were. Who are you trying to fool? You can't erase those horrible dreams you have. The piercing screams that get to your soul, the oozing blood drawn from their wounds… those are not only nightmares… they are memories'

Kenshin had stopped walking by know. Yahiko turned and stared at him. 'Oh God, please don't tell me he's going to faint. It's been a long time since the last one.'

Yahiko: "Kenshin? Are you feeling okay?"

Kenshin snapped out of it. He was scared. Those voices had stopped talking to him some time ago. He smiled (Me: drools) at Yahiko and nodded. They kept walking. They soon arrived at their place and noticed Kaoru on the ground. He hurried over her. Kenshin remembered what the voice had told him: 'Go back and kill the girl'.

Kenshin: "Is she… dead?"

Yahiko was surprised by Kenshin's voice. He sounded rather… concerned. He checked her pulse.

Yahiko: "No, I guess she just fainted. Where's Lyhn?"

Lyhn was nowhere around. Kenshin frowned. Somehow he thought she was involved in this. He took Kaoru's slim figure in his strong arms (Me: I want to be Kaoru!) and started following Yahiko. Suddenly, tears streamed down Kaoru's delicate face. She spoke a language he couldn't decipher.

Kaoru: "Noir do kuso kure hone! Noir do kuso kure hone! Nai!"

Yahiko: "What is she saying!"

Kenshin: "I don't know…"

He placed her on the ground and shook her shoulders in an attempt to wake her up. She seemed to be dreaming. Her eyes opened abruptly and she looked at him.

Kaoru: "What happened?"

Kenshin: "We found you lying on the ground. It seems you fainted."
Yahiko: "Yeah, and you were talking strangely just a little while ago."

Kaoru: "How come?"

Yahiko: "We couldn't understand you."

Kaoru: "Weird. I don't remember dreaming anything. Where's Lyhn?"

Kenshin: "She wasn't here. Do you remember anything at all?"

Kaoru tried to remember what had happened. Her eyes widened.

Kaoru: "I… no, Lyhn started telling me how I was the chosen one--"

Kenshin: "The chosen one?"
Kaoru: "Oh, never mind that. Anyway, she looked at my eyes and I felt dizzy. Then I guess I fainted."

Yahiko: "Guess she has to do something with this."

Kenshin was not satisfied with her answer. 'Chosen one? What does she mean?'

Kenshin: "Hey Kaoru, why were you kidnapped by those guys, you know, the ones we rescued you from?"

Kaoru: "Um… I don't know. Maybe because they were demons and, heck, every demon would want to kill a hunter, right?"

Still, Kenshin did not believe her. They weren't demons at all. She looked rather uncomfortable so he decided to leave it at that. They started traveling again, and they reached a village by sunrise.

Kenshin: "We're here. It's Doma village."

Kaoru's eyes watered as she stared at it. 'How long has it been since I was kidnapped? One, two days? Never mind that, I'm home!'

Kaoru: "Yay, I'm home!"

Yahiko: "Safe and sound!"

Kenshin watched as Kaoru ran towards the little houses, calling for someone, ecstatic. For some reason, he didn't feel happy she was home. Could it be he was starting to get a soft spot for her?

Me: Yay! I hate this story!

Yami Kikkay: O.O"

Me: So, what do you think will happen now? Who do think Kaoru is calling for? How did Lyhn know Kaoru is "The chosen one" IF she really is? Can Kaoru really be that strong to destroy the whole world? What about Kenshin being a prince? drools And Kenshin is starting to feel soft for Kaoru! HAHAHAHAHA!

Yami Kikkay: Shut up already!

Me: O.O Okay…

Yami Kikkay: I would like to be the chosen one. I'd be powerful!

Me: -.- Weren't you kidnapping Nobuhiro Watsuki-sama in Japan?

Yami Kikkay: I already did!

NW: HMMHMHMHMHMHM!

Me: O.O! Kikkay, you're not letting him breathe!

Yami Kikkay: That's the idea!

Me: O.O Remember; if you don't click it, the little box will die! C'ya!
