Summary: Tira/Siegfried. During the fight to strengthen Soul Edge, Tira was forced into fighting Siegfried. Having been pushed aside easily, Siegfried then continued onwards, destroying Soul Edge. Surprised and anguished, Tira flees from the Lost Cathedral. Revenge burned in her eyes when she finally realized that her only likeness was destroyed. Tira, the seventeen year-old, ex-Bird of Passage member, was now out for Siegfried's blood. And at the same time, Siegfried seeked to destroy the still-loyal servant of Soul Edge. A depressing tale of a young girl who has no one in her life, and a man who's past still haunts him...
Spoiler: But she then felt the sword moving away from her body, and heard him sheath it. Opening her eyes, Taki looked up at the taller man, wondering what he was intending to do. Eyes wide, she felt Mitsurugi's lips on her own and inhaled sharply.
Chapter Two Don't Tell Me What to Do
--
Siegfried had decided hours earlier that he had best head for Japan to rest up. He didn't need an inn, and could just stay by one of their many rivers. He sighed and walked along the path of the forest.
It was then that he heard the clashing of blades and raised a brow. Curious as to what was going on, he quickened his pace to see what was going on ahead.
After walking the bit that he needed to, he saw a woman clad in ninja armour, and a man that looked much like a sumarai. He wondered if he should watch this odd battle, or if he should walk away and leave them to their business.
Continuing to watch, he saw the ninja, a woman who looked in her late twenties, maybe in her early thirties, spin both of her ninja swords from either side of her, slashing at the man fiercely. (Fan Dance) He got only a bit injured and gaurded from the attack at his left side.
"Your stubborness will only get you killed! Stop this!" The woman cried, blocking from a strong vertical slash from the man's katana.
"And why should I, Taki!" He argued as anger flared in his eyes, gripping his sword tightly around his hand. He then started to attack her vigurously, slashing at every place where she didn't gaurd in time, making sure that he caused scars.
The woman, Taki, cried out in pain, but never let up. She continued to gaurd and occasionally, her swords took a purplish, lightning-like skin, and she struck him harshly across the chest with the sword. (Shadow Slicer Feint: Mekki-Maru)
"Mitsurugi, stop!" Taki screamed as she felt herself pinned against a tree, Mitsurugi's sword at her neck. She was helpless at the moment, but Siegfried sensed no fear from her. She didn't look afraid, nor did she look ready to back down.
"No! I will not stop!" He growled at her, glaring hard and pressed the blade closer up against her neck, creating a slight cut. Taki winced and groaned in slight pain and bit her bottom lip, glaring at the man.
"You stubborn bastard..." She muttered, her eyes growing soft and losing it's glare. She smiled and sighed, looking up at the sky through the treetops.
Closing her eyes, she waited for him to kill her. Like he had done to Setsuka because of her constant pursuing him. Proof that Mitsurugi showed no mercy, even towards females.
But she then felt the sword moving away from her body, and heard him sheath it.
Opening her eyes, Taki looked up at the taller man, wondering what he was intending to do. Eyes wide, she felt Mitsurugi's lips on her own and inhaled sharply.
It was then that Siegfried felt uncomfortable and left immediately and without any evidence of him ever being there. What he had witnessed back there made him uneasy and also, a bit lost. He really had never felt anything for the opposite sex. But he wasn't gay, he knew that much.
The couple back there looked at each other with a fierce lust as well as comfort and tenderness. Siegfried had never felt the same for anyone else. He had never looked at another person the way Taki and Mitsurugi had.
Though, he was sure he wasn't missing on anything big. Woman would only hold him back. Unless it were woman who he wanted to kill.
As Siegfried finally came from out of the forest, he would head to Japan, and then track the young servant down.

"Ow! Goddamnit." Tira muttered as she touched one of her larger wounds. There were much more cuts than before, and she would have to wash her clothing if she didn't want it stained forever with blood. She had encountered the same problem with her other outfit, and knew that if she washed the blood out immediately, she could get it out.
Sighing softly, Tira then proceeded to wash her red dress in the stream, sitting on the raft that circled the Ostrheinsburg Castle for the most part.
As she continued to wash the blood out, her feet were playing with the water. She really didn't know what was so fun with it, but she couldn't help but let a smile reach her lips.
Washing the blood out, she squeezed any water from the outfit and layed it aside to dry. At the moment, she was just sitting there in her red undergarments, with her feet in the water and her Vimana at her side.
She was a bit tired and sleepy for the first time in a pretty long time. Frowning, Tira looked down at her reflection and shook her head. Laying down on her back, she looked up at the sky and felt at peace.
Closing her eyes, she planned on getting some well-deserved sleep.
--
Siegfried had finally arrived in Kyoto, Japan later that day, seeking rest and maybe some food. He purchased some buns and headed off to the small river he knew laid at the opposite side of the town.
Sitting down, he looked down at his reflection and brushed some of his hair aside. Maybe it would be a good time to get a haircut...
Shaking his head, Siegfried looked up at the darkening sky and ate one of the buns quickly.
He focused on where he should head off to to find the girl, and felt his eyes drooping slightly from exhaustion. Siegfried had not once let his eyes close for more than a split second ever since he had set out on destroying Soul Edge. Yawning, he blinked the sleep out of his eyes, and stretched out.
Taking another bun, he took a large bite out of it and closed his eyes. Maybe it was time he got some sleep. He was tired, and his energy was eaten from him and he felt a bit lightheaded.
Siegfried had met that servant many times. He also knew that it was her who had followed him throughout the majority of his quest.
The girl was smart, and deadly as well. She did not give up once when trying to pursue him, and he felt annoyed when she did so.
He had seen the girl in many different outfits before, all of which made him raise a brow. They were all revealing for the most part, and showed that the girl had a figure. Sure, he did not drool and lust after her, but he knew that that kind of beauty wasn't exactly natural. The girl was pure malevolence, and seemed very dependant on killing.
Siegfried then started to sketch out what she had worn for the many times he had encountered her. The first was a green outfit, ripped and torn in so many places. But it was extremely flattering to her body, while her lips and hair were striking as well, painted bright green. A purple slash mark went from the left side of her cheek past her nose a bit, while her eyes were flashing purple, intensified by the green eyeshadow she wore.
The second outfit he saw was the same outfit, but the color of blue, white, and pink. It was ripped in the same exact places, and the outfit was practically identical, but she had dyed her hair red, and changed weapons. Instead of her all-metal ring blade from the first outfit, this one was extremely beautiful. The outer part of the blade was a silvery blue metal, the blades at the ends made to look like wings of an angel. The inner part of the ring blade was made to look like stained glass, colored with almost every single color and bouncing light off of it's colors.
The third outfit was the one he saw her wear earlier that day. It was a red dress that cut just above her mid-thigh, revealing strong and thin legs. She wore matching scarlet red gloves that went up to her upper arm and was covered by the wing sleeve of the dress. The neckline was etched with white fur, and two metal skulls stopped right above her well formed breasts. The servant also wore crimson high-heeled boots that reached up to her mid-thigh, the top of each was covered with lace. She also had proceeded to dying her hair blonde, and switched to a ring blade that was very much like the first one she had, but the blades at the ends were a metallic red and looked machine-like.
All-in-all, she was a very sexy young girl who knew how to flaunt what she had, but also be able to keep it so that she would be able to kill just as easily.
"Beauty at it's deadliest..." Siegfried murmered, and consumed another bun. "Too bad I have to kill her."

/end of chapter.
God, I don't know what happened. o.o; Writer's block is pure evil. :( Siigh. Only two chapters and it's already caught up with me...
But anyways, as you can see, I'm trying to portray Tira as a deadly person, not an overly hyperactive girl. Why? Because the way she acts in the game, I really can't see her jumping around in glee every single day and bending herself to anyone's wish. Not even her master's. She seems like an independant female, so I'll portray her as an independant female. Well, she's independant for the most part, anyways.
Siegfried... Blah, I'm trying to make him seem like he doesn't give a damn about the way Tira looks or acts. That he'll continue to try to kill her anyways.
But, yeah. Really sorry for the uberly short chapter guys. :( Again, blame it on the writer's block. Please review though:)
