Author's note: Yes I know you love reading these little notes I
leave. (NOT!) Nami is a Japanese girl's name meaning a wave. Mamoru
is a Japanese boy's name meaning earth. If you don't like this chapter
I'm not going to aplogize. I've gotten annoying emails stating how they
would like the story to be written. Guess what? I'm writting it. It's
my brain and late nights. If you don't like it, write your own story
and don't email me! Don't take my story and write something else in it.
No flames. Let's grow up people. And to the readers, please review if
you'd like. I'm usually not like this.
And then the bricks came crumbling down as the demon emerged from the debris. A demon that managed to trick the monks by taking another form, the form of a human traveling trapped in the snow. The monks with their good intentions carried him in, and thereby inviting the creature in to take their lives. It was a demon with red charred skin with thick veins underneath it and glowing amber eyes. Black talon claws and the smell of death. It made a blood curdling scream as it walked closer.
"If you're gonna do something John, now would be the time!" Angela said
John reached into his coat pocket and found the orbs of holy water. He threw one at the demon, it only stopped him for a moment. He gave the other one to Angela and pushed her out of the way. The demon howled again, and the force from the sound tossed John against the wall. The demon was coming. With its huge claws it slashed through the air and ripped out the flesh of a human. It was Rei's back. It tore through the delicate silk and the blood oozed out so delicately. The tattoo on her back was bleeding as well. Rei looked at her child, as the life was being returned to him. That was all that mattered.
"Manmo!" Rei hissed
The demon grabbed Rei by the head and dragged her up by her hair. Unwilling to give it any satisfaction she refused to scream out in agonizing pain.
"How pathetically human. We lay claim to your soul" the demon spoke happily
"I am the 308th demon hunter, my soul will enter the family temple and you will end up back in hell where you belong" Rei said as her last ofuda came out
"I claim your soul in the name of one of the warlords in hell. You have no powers. Your child is dying, it ends with you"
"You first" Rei's last ofuda paralyzed the demon for a moment.
John threw out his orb of holy water at the demon, his flesh began to melt a little. The demon's eyes glowed an unholy red as the ofuda went up into flames and fell into ashes before Rei's feet. The blood from her back soaked the silk, and dripped down onto the ground. The sound of her blood dripping became louder and louder, as small footsteps got scampered around. Small hands reached down and picked up Rei's sword.
Angela saw a small figure scampering around. She couldn't quite make it out. John started to see it too. It was moving too fast. And finally there came a loud but timid scream. The figure stopped moving. It was a child, a girl, holding Rei's sword. She had charged at the demon holding Rei, and sliced a huge chunk out of its leg. John and Angela looked in amazement at the girl wielding this gigantic sword.
The demon cried out in pain and released Rei. It turned around to face the child. The demon overshadowed the child, as she clutched onto the sword. Dressed in monk robes as well her dark hair reminded John of someone. She backed away from the demon slowly, afraid, scared of what to do next.
"Mamono be gone" Rei whispered out
Angela threw her orb of holy water at the demon. It turned to see Angela standing there. The child saw Rei lying there lifeless. And a rage overtook her.
"Mamono be gone" Rei chanted out again
John took a torch nearby and chanted something, a huge flame shot out and burned the demon. But the demon only laughed. Born of fire. The girl possessed almost, gripped the sword firmly as the energy began to surround her. Her body glowing an amber red, her hair began to fly up as she screamed out.
"You go to hell!" she screamed as she drove the sword into the demon.
The sword began to glow and disintegrate the demon's body.
"Just a child!" the demon hissed, "Just a child!"
"Mamono be gone" Rei said and smiled
The child pulled the sword out of the demon and watched it explode into nothing but bits of light. Standing fearless the child looked unmoved, untouched and angry. She looked up at the bits of light dust that came from the demon. Almost like stars. She ran over to Rei, knelt down and saw all the blood.
"Please don't leave me" she cried
"You have done well. You are everything that I wasn't." Rei said
"You can't leave me, I don't know what to do. You can't leave us!"
"I am with you always."
"NO! I won't let you leave me!" she cried out as she watched Rei draw her last breath. She sobbed out as she hugged the lifeless body.
"Mommy, don't go"
John stood there, and watched her die in front of him. He did nothing as he always did. He said nothing, he stood there and watched her die. He watched this little girl crying out for her mommy. He came to the realization that Rei being the cold heartless bitch that she was, had a child. Not just any child, but a child with her gift. To be a demon hunter. The little girl was able to wield the sword to cast out demons and send them back to hell and didn't flinch at her power. She seemed ready for it.
John felt a dark shadow casting over him. He turned around and saw the little boy who was near death with his would miraculously healed. His body floated up as he held the spear.
"Shit.." John realized what had happened.
He walked closer to the little girl and Rei's body, and looked at the boy again. He was possessed by the power of the spear. An evil power that was ravaging the boy's soul. Angela moved to be with the crying girl. She looked at the girl and then at the boy.
"Twin stars" Angela said
"You might want to let that go kid" John said to the floating boy
The boy hissed as he clutched onto the spear.
"You are no one to me. No one. You are all nothing to me"
"Hey, you gotta stop crying, cmon your brother over there is kinda freaking out here" John said to the girl
The girl looked up and wiped her tears. She saw her brother indeed was possessed by the spear. She stood up, holding the sword loosely by the handle, pointing it down.
"Mamoru! Stop this! Mommy's dead!" she yelled out
"Yes mother is dead. Poor mommy. She shouldn't have died and left us here all alone. What was she thinking?" Mamoru said
"You have to let the spear go. It's taken possession of you!" she pleaded with him
"No. I rather like it" he looked at the spear in his hands
"Your mother died for you. She died trying to get the spear to you so your ungrateful ass could live! She went through a hell of a lot of trouble to get it for you. And if she were here she'd give you the beat down your punk ass needs!" John yelled
"My mother was a whore. She couldn't keep her legs closed long enough, and gave it up to the first man she met and then got knocked up and had us. She didn't care what she did to us. How she cursed us. How we would forever be targets for vengence, how we would forever be bastard children. Don't lecture me, asshole" Mamoru replied
"This kid just called me an asshole. That's it, I'm gonna give you the ass kicking. And when you're dead, your mom will give you another ass kicking!" John said as he rolled up his sleeves.
"John! He's just a kid! Go easy on him" Angela said
"Yeah right, hello, he's got the spear, and he called me asshole. That's my line. If it's Rei's kid he should be able to handle it"
John put his arms together and chanted.
"Into the light I command thee, into the light I command thee"
The spear glowed for a moment, and they saw how the spear with its tentacles wrapped itself around the boy.
"I need something to cut it with" John motioned at them
"The sword." Angela looked at the girl holding it
"Kid, gimme the sword" John said
"No!" she held onto it
Rei's finger flinched for a moment. Angela saw it and knelt down to her. She tried to find a pulse on her. She placed her head onto her chest. There was a very faint, dying sound.
"She's still alive, barely" Angela said
"Mamoru give me the spear!" the girl yelled out
"Never. She should die for what she has done to us! How she gave us this eternal curse." Mamoru answered back
"No, she gave us a gift. The gift to stop evil in the world. Evil that has taken hold of you!" she answered
"Shut up Nami! You're just as stupid as she was! You're all stupid and don't deserve to live!"
"No Mamoru. You're going to let go of the spear. You're going to give it to mommy, and then I'm gonna beat you like I always do" she said as she held the sword firmly in her hands and faced her brother.
"You always were the favorite. Ready to accept any bullshit she told you. It wasn't a gift, it was a damn curse. And I'll curse her in hell after I send you there!"
Mamoru looked at his hand and a fireball appeared.
"I didn't know it could do that" John said unphased
