Feudal Time Period Very Recent Japan

In the world in which the black haired girl fell, a young man with red hair heard a loud noise of her crashing onto the forest floor.

He ran to get his two friends to help him with the investigations. The red haired teen was named Ken, the short spiky haired teen was

Kosuke and the black haired teenager who looked as if he hated that world was Hakel. They all sprinted into the forest but of course

Ken got there first but when he got there and saw the bloody form of a raven-haired girl lying in a pool of her own blood her stopped

short. Kosuke did the same as he saw the horrific sight. When Hakel arrived he was the only one who wasn't surprised at the gory

sight. He led a vicious and dangerous life and lived through a troubled childhood so things like blood faze him like it did other people. So

he went over to the girl prostate body and gently turned her over onto her back. The ground squished beneath her because of the blood

mixing with the soil. He placed head close to that of the girl's and listened. And in a surprised voice said… "She's alive."

With that Hakel gently lifted the bloody and limp form of the girl off the ground and carried her into town. Ken and Kosuke led the

way and parted the crowds while asking for help from their friends. Once the trios with the wounded raven-haired girl were safely inside

a friend's house did they look to see the extent of damage on the girl's body. They made Kosuke sit outside and wait for theirs but

mostly so that his young eyes didn't see some gruesome things. Once Hakel laid the girl down on the bamboo mat he and Ken began to

gingerly peel the tattered and blood soaked remains of the girl's clothes…then they saw exactly how badly the girl was hurt. As they

viewed the extent of the damage they both took an intake of air that was exhaled as a hiss of pain and sympathy. The girl's lithe form

was covered with many wounds both new and old. Many of the wounds were fresh and bleeding profusely. Even the girl's face was

marred. There was a scar that ran across her eye and a bloody scratch on her right cheek. Her face was etched in pain and any time

that they touched her body she either moaned or screamed in pain. It was visible to the two teenagers that her wounds were caused by

a creature of sorts. But what kind of beast was confusing the teenagers. Also her screaming in pain confused them more because the

teenagers didn't know that her shoulder was dislocated and drew back in fear of hurting her further. So Hakel took off his short to

reveal a sculpted upper body and muscular arms. He then made a pillow to place under the girl's head and he draped a soft blanket

over her body to keep her from getting a chill. He had a worried look in his eye as he looked over the girl who he just saved from

possibly dying. Ken was beginning to worry that something was wrong because he had never seen this side of Hakel before with the

exception of in the presence of Jai. As the two kept a solemn watch over the unconscious girl two women came in a shooed them out.

The two women, one a teenager and the other not much older were named Kai and Jai. As they kneeled next to the unconscious girl

they began to attempt to clean and bandage some of her wounds. They first made a salve to put on minor cuts and sedative to make the

pain less. Then the true work began. They wounds the girl received were ones that would kill any normal person. So they pushed that

idea away and set to the task of healing Hakel's ward. When they found that the girl had dislocated her shoulder Kai asked Jai if she

would attempt to replace it without hurting her too much. When she couldn't relocate it, even though she was pretty close to, they called

Hakel in to help. The look on his face showed that he didn't want to cause the girl pain but he knew he was the only person who could

possibly relocate her arm. So with a grimace and a quick movement the shoulder was relocated. The girl though unconscious screamed

in pain as the bone was put back in its place. Hakel quickly left the room…both women were worried about him but went back to the

strenuous job of healing the wounded girl.

About an hour and a half of diligent work of healing the two women had dressed the wounds to the point that the girl's body

was mostly bandages rather than skin. With that they left the room to find Ken and Kosuke waiting right outside the door.

"Is she okay?" Kosuke quizzed as he tried to sneak a look of the now sleeping girl.

Wiping her hand Kai replied. " It's difficult to say. The girl lost a lot of blood and I wonder what cause it and what happened to

her. "Many of the wounds were very deep but what was really strange is that some of the wounds began to close up as we cleaned and

bandaged them. She's not like us in any way. I am not sure exactly what she is."

"Someone should always watch over her. We don't know when she'll wake up and we don't want her to freak out, run and then

hurt herself more." Jai stated as she sat down on the edge of the house with one leg drawn to her chest and the other hanging over the

edge.

Out of all the girls in the house, Jai was the least womanly attitude wise. She was probably the only woman who could actually

beat Ken at a swordfight with either a sword of any length or width to a halberd. Kai was the real woman. Though she did the laundry

and kept the house ….she couldn't cook.

"I figure that we can take shifts and turns so that we can get our chores done and watch over her at the same time. I am not sure

what she is but we still need to take care of her." Kai spoke in a hushed voice.

So each person took his or her turns watching over the sleeping girl. Her wounds healed within two day of her arrival but she still

slept on. Day after day nothing changed. Jai would take the first watch in the morning while she prepared some breakfast, and she

would take the night watch after she sparred with Ken with various weapons. Ken took the late morning shift, Hakel was the mid-

afternoon, and Kai and Kosuke took right before dinner and Jai's shift. But one day almost two weeks after the raven-haired girl's

arrival something out of the ordinary would happen.

Jai walked into the dark room, her weapon she carried was a halberd a heavy and dangerous broad sword. She closed the door

to the room where the raven-haired girl slept. As darkness consumed the room, Jai got the feeling that something was wrong. Out of the

corner of her eye she could see a dark figure move closer to her. Brilliant purple eyes shone in the darkness and in a fleeting second

were gone. Suddenly a foreign body slammed into Jai's making her stagger and drop the halberd that crashed onto the floor.

The two fell to the floor but the unknown person had their hands over Jai's mouth and nose, along with a strangle hold around her

neck with their arm. Jai used all her strength to fight the unknown person which she quickly figured out was the "sleeping girl" Jai knew

that she had to get the girl off of her soon because black began to dot her vision. As they fought the raven-haired girl tossed Jai to the

floor as she screamed in pain with contact. The unknown girl spied Jai's halberd and rushed to get it. Amazingly the unknown girl was

able to lift the heavy sword and raised it over jai's body on the floor. Then the sword came crashing down to meet Jai's bare midriff.

The halberd did cut into her skin but it was just a deep scratch. The blade was stopped right as it was digging into Jai's skin but her two

hands. The sharp blade bit into her skin and blood began to pour. Jai took control of the halberd and cast it aside. Once again two

women fought for power over the other in a wrestling match. The raven-haired once again used the grab the hair and pull technique that

cause her much pain even though Jai had very short hair. Jai's hands were still bleeding and made it hard to get a firm hold on anything

but sure enough she did. Jai got the other girls arm away from her face, but the other girl grabbed Jai's hair and pulled hard. Jai growled

as her scalp flamed with pain. So jai grabbed the girl's arm and threw her over her head and onto the floor with a thud. The raven-

haired girl's hand released its hold on Jai's hair and before it was able to do anything else, jai pinned the girl to the floor. Her body

covering the other girl's body to keep her from moving and her dagger was at the girl's throat. Jai was sweating profusely and was

down to her sleeveless shirt that showed her "scratched" midriff and a pair of loose black pants. Without releasing her grip on the girl

below her she asked in a dangerously low voice…

"Who are you?"

The girl underneath Jai shook and her eyes showed the fear, anger, and thirst for something. The girl's very eyes seemed to show

knowledge beyond their years and could look right into a person's very soul. In a hushed voice that was too low for Jai to hear the girl

replied.

"I am Akuma."

Hakel flung the door to the sleeping girl's room open to find the room in shambles. Jai's halberd lay haphazardly in the doorway

with some flacks of blood on it. Chairs and mats were strewn around the room and in the middle looking like a devil in the wreckage…

was Jai holding the angry raven haired girl to the ground. A bloody line was etched on Jai's midriff showing at least one casualty from

the fight.

He ran over to Jai and called for Ken to help restrain the other girl while he helped Jai who was about to collapse. But she pushed

him away.

"I'm fine…it's just a scratch." She said as she quickly composed herself.

"What happened?" Hakel asked his eyes filled with serious concern. Jai was the only woman he actually had feeling for. She was a

dark recluse and acted and even fought like a man though she was all woman.

""I'M. Fine." She said more assertively as she staggered to stand up. Hakel put out a hand to steady her, which she gladly

accepted.

Ken was struggling to hold the raven-haired girl back from lashing out. Her purple eyes were filled with hatred and anger. They

flashed with defiance as Jai slowly walked toward her with her arm around her stomach.

"Who are you? What are you?" She asked getting close to the other girls face. "I know you're not human, but what are you truly?"

The girl didn't reply. She just glared daggers at Jai while Ken whose strong arms kept her from getting Jai restrained her. The

raven-haired girl was surprisingly strong and gave Ken a run for his money in trying to keep her still. Kai and Kosuke ran in looking at

the room and trying to figure out what had exactly gone on and why they weren't invited to play in Kosuke's case. But still the raven-

haired girl wouldn't say a thing. So taking extra precautions, Kai gave the girl a sleeping potion that was forcefully administered with

Hakel's and Jai's help. In a matter of minutes the girl was in a sleep induced coma that would last until morning or so they hoped.
