Night Two

Taki was sleeping peacefully. Although she was still tired from the all-nighter she pulled the other night, she waited until Miroku came back from his talk with Talim, because she was afraid of what he would do to "Sango" while she was sleeping. Now, she was sleeping peacefully, but it would be disturbed once more by the evil glow from Mekki-Maru.

Using as much stealth as she could, she snuck away from the sleeping group and tried to locate what was setting her blade off. After searching for quite a while with no luck, she was about to turn back. When she turned around, she saw out of the corner of her eye someone watching her. Not moving, she Soul Charged and made a ninja cannon, which she promptly threw at the figure. He hit the ground, and Mekki-Maru began burning furiously. As quickly as she had floored him, she had Rekki-Maru in hand and was holding it right to the person's neck. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she could finally see who it was: Mitsurugi, the last person she wanted to see here.

"You," she hissed, and put the blade closer to his neck. "Tell me what in blazes is going on here."

A small smile formed on Mitsurugi's face. "Look, it's my favorite person in the world. How are things?"

Taki was fuming. "This is not the time to be screwing around! I want answers!" She restrained the urge to choke the life out of him.

"Okay, okay, don't get so hostile." He sat up, and Taki let him, but still kept Rekki-Maru close to his neck. "We're all here. Anyone with a piece of Soul Edge was transported here, including Soul Edge itself. I don't know how, but it looks like we're stuck together once again."

Taki had about enough of his smart comments. She punched him in the face, feeling instantly better. He took the punch, and looked at her with the hate that hadn't shown but was there. "Give me your piece of Soul Edge," she ordered. He reluctantly obliged. She snatched it out of his hand and removed her blade from his neck. "Go, and pray that our paths do not cross again."

"But our paths will cross again," he answered, "And when they do, you will not be so lucky." He turned and walked away.

Taki watched him leave with scorn, then spit on the ground he defiled. She could feel the evil of Soul Edge in her hand. She sheathed Rekki-Maru and unsheathed Mekki-Maru. Slowly, carefully, unwillingly, she fused the two.

The result was incredibly hideous. It was growing a sickly looking skin, complete with veins and a potential eyeball, and it pulsated in her hand. She sheathed it quickly, suddenly frightened.

Taki came back to her starting point and almost hit the ground sleeping. Her sleep was not as peaceful as the first time.
