Kikyo walked through the forest. The once clearly green forest immediately turned a shade of gray. All the leaves floated down slowly. Every blade of grass, every shrub, every flower and plant shriveled up and died. Kikyo walked on. Her face was expressionless. She swayed as she walked. Her soul stealers followed her.
"Miss? What are you doing?" A little girl asked.
The little girl looked up with confusion at the Miko.
Kikyo reached out her hand. The little girl took it with a warm smile.
The soul stealers hovered over the girl. The girl took a deep breath while her soul came out quietly. One of the soul stealers grabbed the soul. The girl's body slouched down into the grass. Kikyo walked on. The girl's soul seeped into Kikyo's body.
Ryan stood a foot behind his sword with ten armed men behind him. Three tall boys, all at the age of thirteen, stood behind the ten men.
The demons were flying ten feet in front of the sword. They would and could not pass the sword.
One of the stupider demons, seeing something shining, ran full force at the sword. Before the demon could touch the sword it burst into a million pieces. Some of the pieces were heading past the sword, but it didn't pass the sword that was placed in the ground. It just evaporated.
The most stupid demons came as the one before it had. No one moved but the demons. The splattering noises caused one of the boys to throw up. Ryan pitied the boy. He couldn't blame the kid for throwing up.
Ryan was starting to get bored and the horde of demon's seemed to have an endless supply of idiots. Ryan pulled out his sword. The demon's all launched themselves at Ryan.
"Time to die friends!" Ryan yelled at the demons as he launched himself at the horde of demons.
None of his fellow soldiers made a move to help their leader.
He pressed his thumb into the middle of the flat part of the sword.
"Go to hell!" Ryan yelled loudly.
He slashed out violently the whole time repeating, "Destiny Calls."
Every time his sword came in contact with a demon it evaporated into the air. Soon the vast less horde of demons seemed much smaller.
The whole time Ryan was floating in the sky. It was a very interesting sight to behold. Unlike Ryan's adoptive father, Ryan enjoyed being loud. Ryan was killing left to right, not trying to look graceful or anything but Sesshomaru has a character that seems to rub off in all directions. Ryan seemed like an evil swan, graceful and at the same time destructive. Sesshomaru was known as the 'Masked Assassin' but seeing Ryan you would probably say the 'Innocent Avenger.' Avenging what? Who knows, he just gives you that kind of odd vibe, but he certainly has the might of a god, and so it seems, the vengeance too.
When there were only one hundred demons left, Ryan fell from the sky like a rock. His sword was down so it hit the ground first. Ryan never hit the ground; he did a backward flip and landed on one foot on the top of his sword. His arms were crossed as he stood on the top of his sword.
"You guys are pretty bad. Nothing shall harm this village again." Ryan said as he stretched out one arm.
He had his fingers out stretched then quickly closed it into a balled fist. Ryan whispered something underneath his breath and every single one of the remaining demons went splat. In their place a small gem fell from the sky. Ryan opened his hand again and the gem fell right into his palm. He closed his fingers over the gem the jumped off the sword. He pulled out the sword with his other hand and put it back.
"Please let them know that it is safe now. You, give this to the pleasant (roll eyes now) man that escorted me here. Now you go and tell my men to get ready to leave." Ryan said, pointing at the three boys. He gave one boy the gem that had fallen from the sky.
All three boys scampered off as fast as they could.
The ten men that were facing Ryan were exchanging smiles and nods.
"That was very good Sir Ryan." The eldest of the men said.
Ryan nodded his head in respect. He was feeling very proud. How often would you get our personal stingy old man to complement you? Never.
He walked through the village. All the villagers were back in their houses.
Many of the people were looking at him with amazement.
He walked on until he saw all his men. He gaped at them.
They all had their armor off and all the women from the village were pampering them all.
Ryan slapped his forehead and shook his head slowly. When he opened his eyes to demand his troops to get ready he saw that the ten men had all their armor off and were getting pampered.
Ryan opened and shut his mouth, for the first time in his life he couldn't think of anything to say.
The woman who he had so called 'almost killed ran out to meet him. She grabbed his hands and shook them up and down.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" The lady repeated with a large smile on her face.
Ryan was being shook and his poor stomach couldn't handle it.
"Darling! Stop it! You will kill our poor lord!" The fat man hollered as he wobbled out of the hut.
The lady let go of 'our poor lord' and stood back. Her husband slapped Ryan on the back.
"Gha!" Ryan huffed.
"My, Lord Ryan! You have done excellent! Now come in for a while and tell me about it!" The man declared as he dragged Ryan into the hut.
'Luckily this only happens once in a life time.' Ryan thought.
He was roughly pushed down onto a soft cushion of some sort. Someone started to pull off his armor. Ryan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. What is that smell? Ryan opened his eyes and took a bigger sniff, vanilla…white chocolate… strawberries. The person who was pulling off his armor stopped. His sensitive ears could hear the person hold their breath. Their fingers had stopped on his back. He felt tingles shooting through his back.
He turned around and looked up. A soft pale face with ice blue eyes looked down at him. Her soft blue hair fell down into his face. It smelled a lot like strawberries. She quickly pulled back her hair and stepped back. He looked forward and could see the chubby man looking very amused.
Ryan looked behind him but the girl was gone. He realized that his heart was racing and was not slowing down one bit. He blinked a few times then took a deep breath.
'Still smells like- no! Must…. concentrate.' Ryan thought weakly.
"So Lord Ryan, tell me. What is this jewel here?" The man asked Ryan, holding out the jewel so that Ryan could inspect it.
The gem was orange and there was an imprint of a diamond on it.
'That's a new one…' Ryan thought.
"That gem will protect this and only this village from demons, but if it leaves this village it will not work at all anymore. The symbol, well, as you know I work under the House of the Crescent, so the reason why the Northern symbol is on this is something I do not understand." Ryan said truthfully.
"That is alright, so long as you know it works." The fat man said with a nod.
"Will you be staying with us for a day? It would honor us if you would stay for our party." The man asked.
Ryan thought about it. It would take a good hour to get everyone's armor back on, and maybe staying here would give him a chance to meet that girl.
Ryan agreed to stay the night. The fat man clapped his hands joyfully and giggled like a schoolgirl then ran out of the hut.
'Drama Queen.' Ryan mouthed to the fat man's back.
Then followed him out of the hut.
People where running here and there. Most of the men were carrying plates with food. They were running past him in a hurry. Ryan sniffed the air. Mmm, meat! Meat always made him feel a lot better. Ryan kept on sniffing the air. Wait; there was the smell again! Ryan followed his nose.
He jumped over the villagers and kept on walking. He ended at a clear pool. There was the girl! Her feet were dipped into the pool and she was sighing.
As soon as he saw her she turned around quickly. Her eyes went big as she bowed low.
"I am sorry Lord Ryan!" She said quietly.
Ryan's eyebrows knit together.
"Why are you calling me lord? You are higher then I will ever be." Ryan sighed.
The girl opened her eyes but she did not look like a fallen deer any more she looked like a hawk. About to kill something, and soon.
"What's your name?" Ryan asked.
"Tania, Lady Tania." She stood defiantly.
Ryan's heart started to do a 360. She was wearing peasant clothing but obviously she was of higher status.
He had taken the bait. She had caught him like a fly on a spider web. Unmovable.
"Lady? What lady?" Ryan smirked as he walked away.
Fire-Soul-Dragon: Sorry, that is all I can do for today. I am demanded off the computer! Grrr… anyway. Hope you like it! Tania is for you Kage! ;D She will become quite the hero, just you wait! I will write more tomorrow, until then be pleased that I actually got chapter ten up! Keep reading and safe clicking:3
